Hosmer on subjects connected with American hIs- ! tory and politics The professor pre- faced his lecture with brief review of l a new book entitled "IHe Expansion of 1 England" by Prof. Seelyo, author of "Ecce EomO." In this volume Prof. Seeiye wishes t1 O6iiterdte all the pres eut Glstiuc-I1ns between England and her colonies m the manner of govern ueut tie would have them all under l one representative government, ca great world Venice through which the seas shall flow. but unIting-not separating" A recent prophecy by Rev. F. Barhan ZiEcEe. chsplsin to Queen Victoria, was also quoted. 2. is tu tl1 effect tiIut Uno hundred years from tine present time ! there will be on the earth one billion of Engllsh-spegking people, and of these eight hundred mll ions will have their home in tne United States, which will be the dominant power among tine na- tions of English descent.

 Taking for granted that there was considerable ground for this prophecy m the present tendency of affairs, the speaker asked # it would not be well
 for America to go back into @ coniedera-
 ton with England and what are now her provinces, all the different sections Co be united under the government of sort of international congress. In this compact or union the United States as whole would be "the Empire state of the larger United States There were three reasons advanced in favor of the union. The first uf these was a senti- mental one, which was, Tt Is pleasant thing for kindred Co come together" which argued for the reunion of the Augio-Sgz0u kindred. The second reason wg- th1t i5 vas a step toward tllt brotherhood of the nations which tho benevolent are always anticipating. The talrd and most important was that Augl0-Saxols throughout the world needed t0 join hands in Orior to keep themseivs firmly fixed Co tEe old prin- clriea l- freedom transmitted from their ancestors. ln rle course of The lecture ] @ survey oi the United States was taken, 1 tho conclusion being that Ile condition | lf -ne co utry with regard tJ genuine | freedom was far from satisfactory.
