LoNDoN.-One'S favorable impres
sion of Paris is considerably subdue(
by noticing the extensive desecratioI
of the best of days." the golden clasp
that hiilds the volume of the week
\ very large proportion of the shops
in the streets through which we
walked were open, and business was
being pushed as energetically as if it
We're an ordinary day. In some of the
places where there was ceSSaSiOn OF
business. WOrkmen were employed re-
pairing. cleaning. OF decorating the
premises. Some of the larger and
more extensive emporinms were
closed it is true. but still it remains
the fact that there is Il very great diff
ference between London, bad us 1T is.
and the capital of la belle France
Paris with regard to Sunday obserV-
ance.
We went to the Rue Royal, expect
ing to find our friend and brother
minister. Rev. Baron Hart at his old
place near the Maddeno. He was not
there. however. On inquiring for la
Pasteur Mons. Hart. we discovered
that he was conducting services in the
Rue st. Ionovre. One of the rooms
was occupied by another old personal
friend Il. w. McAl. The account of
Mr.. McAll's work may be found i'll an
book. The White Fields
of France" by Dr.. Wonar. whose son
in law Mr.. Dodds. WAS associated with
the Paris work. The work is reprint
ell in the Seaside Library. 1t will be
still more interesting to my American
friends to know that the rent of the
room is paid by friends in Philadel-
phia. What wonder of subtle cords
there are binding the English and
together. AS soon as Mr..
Hart recognized me he came up and
shook me by the hand. and then an
nounced that would preach there at
night. There was no getting out of
it. We must yield to the inevitable.
We were Joined at the tea table in
Mr.. Hart's home in the Avenue de la
Grand Armee, near the Champs
Elyses. by nephew OF Hart's, who,
hundreds more, has got Amer
lea on the brain. They are bound to
come west. and have, done my best
to facilitate what my friend Paxton
Hoard would call the supreme mo-
ment in life.
After | had finished my discourse,
several friends gathered around. and
among others a lady who told me
about young person, had been
staying with her, and was shortly to
return to the far west of America.
.What is her name!' | asked. On
being told replied: Yes, / saw her
father in America, and he was rather
desirous that the young lady should
return with me" The look of Won
derment on the lady's face was
study.
Next morning, after having break
fast in Paris, we proceeded on our
journey. We had dinner at Amiens,
crossed the channel at ''Juricta.' dur
ing which many suffered from ''mal
de mer." and had tea at Dover. When
arrived ut home in the evening
found a huge pile of letters awaiting
me regarding America and the pros
poets there. The week has been
a somewhat hard one. as you will say
when tell you that | have written
nearly hundred letters; OF h Tues
day evening lectured on America and
the West, at IL congregational church
at Essex; on the Thursday evening, ut
my old church ut LewiSllam: and on
Friday evening at Bognor, in Sussex;
besides having to attend to such busi-
ness as is really necessary when about
to undertake a journey from London.
i'm England. to Morris, i'll Minnesota,
with wife and family.
