Let there be cal ed q peace convention OF

they are in session, il you should some

Again, l suggest in regard 20 the
Worlds Fair that, while appropriate
places are prepared for all foreign exhib-
it's. we make no room for the Importation
Of foreign vices. America has enough OF
its own, and we need no new insfallments
Of that kind. A Worlds Fair will bring
all kinds of people, good and bad. Inc
good We must prepare to welcome, the
bad We must prepare to shuu. The at
tempt will again be made in 1872. a IN
1876. to break up our American Saobaths.
The American Sabbath is the hest kept
Sabbath on earth. We do not want 1t
broken down, and substituted in the place
thereof the Brussels Sabb ath. the Vienna
Sabbath, the s.. Petersburg Sabbath, or
any Of the foreign Sabbaths. which are
no Sabbaths at all l think the Lord II
more thai generous in asking only fifty
two out Of the 365 days for His service.

the Lori's day into wassail and frolic.
Among those who will come here will be.
as At other Expositions. lordly people who
will bring their vices with them. Among
the Dukes and Duchesses aud Princes and
Princesses Of other lands are some Of the

member the Earl of Kintore. Lord Cairns
and Lord Shaftesbury. But there il Q
