And here am going to say word Of
cheer to people who have never had word
of consolation on that subject There are
men and women in this world by hundreds
of thousands, and some of them are here to-
day, who have fine natural taste, and yet
all their lives that taste has been sup
pressed, and although they could appreciate
the galleries Of Dresden and Vienna and
Naples for more than nine hundred and
ninety nine out of one thousand who visit
them, they never may go, for they must sup
port their households, and bread and school
ing for their children are of more Importance
than pictures Though fond of music, they
are compelled to live amid discord land though
fond of architecture, they dwell in clumsy
abodes, and though appreciative of all that
engravings and paintings can do, they are
in perpetual deprivation. You are going,
after you get on the sixth step of that stairs
just spoken of, to find yourselves in the
royal gallery of the universe, the con-
centered splendors of oil worlds befors
| your transported vision. In some way all
the thrilling scenes through which we and
the Church OF God have passed in our earth
ly state Will be pictured or brought TO mind.
At the cyclorama OF Gettysburg, which we
had in Brooklyn, one day blind man, who
lost his sight in that battle was with his
| child heard talking while standing before
| that picture. The blind man said to the
