down after the Bethlehem anthem Of eighteen
centuries ago was sung out, is rebuilt again
in the clouds, and the same angelic singers
are returned, with the same librettos Of light,
to chant "Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace good will to men,"
DO NOT IMPORT FOREIGN VICES
Again, suggest in regard to the Worlds
fair that, while appropriate places are pre-
pared for all foreign exhibits, we make no
room for the importation Of foreign vices.
America has enough Of its own, and we need
no new installmeuts of that kind. A worlds
fair will bring all kinds Of people, good and
bad. The good we must prepare to welcome,
the bad we must prepare to shun. The at
tempt viii again be made in 1872, as In 1875,
to break up our American Sabbaths. That
attempt was made at the Philadelphia centen-
nial, but was defeated The American Sab
bath IS the best kept Sabbath on earth We
do not want it broken down, and substituted
in the place thereof the Brussels Sabbath, the
Vienna Sabbath, the st. Petersburg Sabbath
or any Of the foreign Sabbaths which are no
Sabbaths at ALL l think the Lord is more
than generous in asking only 81 days out of
the sos for his service. You let the Sabbath
go and with it will go your Bible, and after
that your liberties, and your children or your
grandchildren will be here in America under
a despotism as bad as in those lands where
they turn the Lords Day into wassail and
frolic
Among those who come there will be, as at
other expositions, lordly people, who will
bring their vices with them. Among the
dukes and duchesses and princes and princess
es of other lands are some Of the best men
and women Of all the earth Remember
Earl OF Kintore, Lord Cairns and Lord
Shaftesbury. But there is snobbery and
huakeyism in American society that runs
after a grandee, duke, a lord or prince,
though he may be a walking lazaretto and
his breath a plague. 1t makes the fortune Of
some of our queens Of society 10 dance one
cotillion with enc of these princely lepers
Some people cannot get their hats off quick
enough when they see such foreign lord APP
preaching, and they do not care for the mirs
into which they drop their knees as they bow
to worship. Let no splendor of pedigree or
any pomp and paraphernalia Of circumstance
make him attractive. There is only one set
of Ten COMMANDMENTS that I ever heard of,
and no class Of men or women in all the
world are excused from obedience to those
laws written by finger Of lightning on the
granite surface Of Mount Sinai Surely we
have enough American vices without making
any drafts upon European vice for 1892.
GET READY FOR THE FAIR
By this sermon would have the nation
made aware Of its opportunity and get ready
to improve it, and Of some perils and get
ready to combat them. rejoice to believe
that the advantages will overtop everything
in that worlds fair. What an introduction
to each other of commun: lies, Of states, OF re-
publics, of empires, Of zones, of hemispheres!
What doors Of information will be swung
wide open for the boys and girls now on the
Threshold What national and international
edueationl What GROWING Of Industry with
sheaves Of grain, and what IMPERIAL robing of
her with embroidered fabricsl What scien-
tific apparatusl What telescopes for the in
Anitude above, and microscopes for the infini
tude beneath, and instruments to put nature
to the torture until she tells her last secret
What display of the munificence Of the God
who has grown enough wheat to make loaf
Of good bread large enough for the human
race, and enough cotton to stocking every
foot, and enough timber to shelter every
Matchmaking it manifest that it is not Gods
fault, but either mans oppression or indo-
lence or dissipation if there be any without
supply
Under the arches Of the chief building of
that exposition let Capital and Labor, too
long estranged, at last be married, each tax
Ing the hand of each in pledge Of eternal
fidelity, while representatives Of all nations
stand round rejoicing at the nEptials, and
saying: "What God hath Joined together
let not man put asunder.n Then shall the
threnody Of the needle woman no longer Do

Work, work, work.
Till the brain begais to swim;
Work, work, work.
Till the eyes are heavy and dim
Seam and gusset and band,
Band and glsset and seam,
I'll over tho buttons tall asleep.
And sew them on In a dream.

'Hosanna to the Son Of David Blessed is

Through the harsh voices Of our day,
4 low, sweet prelude finds its wayi
Through clouds Of doubt, and creeds Of fear,
light Is breaking, calm and clear,
That song Of love, now low and far,
Ere long shall swell from star to star.
That light the breaking day, which tips
The golden spired APOCALYPSE
