San Hour with the Prophets"

The second OF the series of lectures
provided by tn, Twentieth Ward In
stitute, was delivered in the meeting
house of that Ward, on Sunday even
ing last, by Elder Arthur Stayner, and
was very interesting address. The
subject chosen-"An Hour with the
Prophets"- handled in a most
happy and instructive manner, and
held the close attention of the large
audience during the delivery, which
lasted an hour and fifteen minutes.
The speaker portrayed, in eloquent
Language. the appearance of Moses be.
fore Pharaoh, quoting from the Coptic
and Josephus to illustrate the heroic
character of the prophets mission.
He drew a beautiful picture of AGRA
ham in the act of sacrificing his son at
the command of Jehovah, and showed
that the patriarch's experience was
probably type of the trials of modern
servants of God, who, in their great
mission, might be required to perform
acts as much calculated to test coz
sclentious conviction, and touch the
tenderest chords of the human heart,
as was that of the father of the faith
full"
His description of Elijah's sacrifice
IN the presence of King Ahab and the
prophets of Baal was extremely thrill
ing and realistic, as was also that of the
meeting of young David and the Phil
isline giant.
The principles inculcated by the
lecturer were profound and poetic in
the extreme. He showed how the
sacrifice of all human desires was the
foundation of spiritual greatness. and
that the power acquired by prophets in
all ages, depended on their willingness
TO lay the tenderest emotions of their
souls on the altar of conservation to
their Divine duty. That they entirely
surrendered their natural love for
worldly wealth; I'd even the praise Of
men which seemed TO be due to
the heroes and martyrs of Scripture
talthtulness, was rendered as an Offering
tc the glory OF GOD. He showed that this
was required by Deity. and failure to
deter 10 Divine superiority had in
marked instances brought down the
dlspleasure of heaven. He cited The case
OF Moses. whose self-abnegation in |
this respect had been imperfect.
When in the wilderness, he used his |
miraculous power to bring water from |
the rocks, and for which failure to |
glorify God he had been chastened, and |
his mighty mission of leadership closed. |
Thus had God emphasized the neces- |
sity of "confessing His hand in ali |
things" and laid the foundation for
more strict obedience and conseouently
greater power among subsequent
prophets that should be entrusted with !
such authority.
The speaker concluded his lecture bv
exhorVing the young to dedicate the !;
bloom of their early live to Gods SER
vice. and not wait until the prime of
their manhood and womanhood had
been wasted on worldly pleasures, and
hen in their infrm old age. "offer to
God the DEVILS leavings;" and held up
10 their illustrations examples of the
present day, of life devoted to divine
'hings which were worthy of imitation
and Of final reward.
The choir rendered some stirring
pieces under the leadership of Profes.
or Joseph J. Daynes.

The Late Professor oharies P. Otis,
 Yale ,6Is

Xalo S61a
 Charles Poneroy Otis, professor of modern languages in the Massachusetts Institute of Tecnology, died at his home in Boston on Saturday evening after an illness of several weeks. Professor Otis Wes born in Lebanon, Conn.,, in 1s40, and fitted for college at Phil lips Exeter academy. He was graduated from Yale in 1861 and was afterwards for several years tutor there. He then pro- ceeded to Europe, where he spent three years, chiefly in Paris and Berlin, in the study of philology. On his return he received the de- gree of doctor of philosophy from Yale, and in 1873 was appointed the professorship in the Institute of Technology, which he held at the time of his death. Deceased was a ! brother of Dr. H. s. Otis of Hartford. He had many friends in this State, including three classmates in Hartford, J. D. Tucker, Judge H. B. Freeman and J. o. Kinney, and ! in New Haven, Professor s. E. Baldwin, F. ! &. Bradley, J. Gardner Clark, Prof. F. B. Dexter and Professor Tracy Peck.
 The Boston Advertiser says: Besides per- | forming faithfully the duties of his position, | which, with the rapid growth of the insti- tute, had of late become numerous and ex- \ acting. Professor Otis found time to pre- pare a translation of the Voyages of Sam | uel de Champlain" (published under the au- spices of the Prince society,", and text book | of Parliamentary German" which has receiv- 1 ed much commendation and is widely used | in colleges and schools. He has also edited | certain German texts. especially Schiller's 1 s.Lied von der Glecke" and Grimm's ssMaerchen," his edition of the Iat-
 ter being perhaps the most sat- isfactory now in use He has also printed, but not published, an "Outline of Middle High German Grammar and Selections from | the Nibelungen Lied" Prof. Otis was fine
 example of the harding working student, en- dowed with calm but always cheerful tem- perament, and 8 scholarly disposition. He was diligent and successful in his profession and scrupulously faithful to every duty. He l was married in 1884 to Miss Margaret Moves of Boston, who, with two children, survives him.

The AmerIcan Institute Fair.

With one of the best exhibitions that has been seen in New York for many years, and with the price of admission reduced to twen- ty-five cents, what wonder that the Ameri- can Institute fair is success? It is the fif- ty-seventh annual exhibition and it is now open at Sixty-third street and Third avenue, and as it will close early in December no one who visits New York should let the opportu- nifty to see the grand exhibits of machinery, food products, household goods and works of art be lost. The American Institute does things we'll and the liberal patronage given the fair is the best guarantee that it is worth seeing. The hall is open from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. and there is good music afternoon and evening.
