who worships the God of Peace, and
Boulanger who worships himself. The
tact IS that the nations are sick of
drinking out of chalices made out of
human skulls and filled with blood.
The United States government is the
only government in the whole world
that could successfully call such con-
gress Suppose France should call it,
Germany would not come; or Germany
or Russia should call il, Turkey would
not come; or England should call it,
nations long jealous of her overshadow-
Ing power in Europe would not come.
America III favor with oil nationalities,
standing out independent and alone, is
the spot and 1892 will be the time. May
it please the President of the United
States, may it please the Secretary of
State, may it please the Cabinet, may it
please the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, may it please the printing
presses and the churches and the peo-
pie who lift up and put down our Amer
lean rulers!
- Again, I suggest in regard to the
Worlds fair that, while appropriate
places are prepared for all foreign ex-
hlblts, we make no room for the impor-
tation of foreign vices. America has
enough OF its own, and We need no new
installment: of that kind. A worlds
fair will bring all kinds ofpeople, good
and bad. The good we must prepare to
welcome, the bad we must prepare to
shun. The attempt will again be made
in 1892, as in 1876, to break up our
American Sabbaths. That attempt was
made at the Philadelphia Centennial,
but was defeated. The American Sab
bath is the best kept Sabbath on earth.
We do not want it broken down, and
substitute in the place thereof the Brus-
sells Sabbath, the Vienna Sabbath, the
st. Petersburg Sabbath or any of the
foreign Sabbaths, which are no Sab
baths at all. think the Lord is more
than generous in asking only fifty-two
days out of the 365 for his service. You
let the Sabbath go and with it will 90
your Bible, and after that your liberties,
and your children or your grand-child-
rem will be here in America under
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 princesses Of other lands
are some of the best men of all the
earth. Remember Earl of Kintore. Lord
Cairns and Lord Shaftesbury. But
there is snobbery and funkeyism in
American society that runs after a
grandee, a duke, lord, or prince,
though he may be walking lazaretto
and his breath plague. 1t makes the
fortune of some of our queens of So
ciety to dance on cotillion with one of
these princely lepers. Some people
cannot get their hats off quick enough
when they see such foreign lord ap-
preaching. and they do not care for the
mire into which they drop their knees as
they bow to worship. Let no splendor
of pedigree or any pomp and parapher-
MALTA of circumstance make him attract
i've. There is only one set of Ten Com
mandments that 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 Euro
pean vice for 1892.

Through the harsh voices of our day
A low. sweet prelude finds its way;
Through clouds of doubt and creeds of fear
A 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;
A Matter of Build.
