Extracts from Miss Wizards Address.
The following extracts from the address
of Frances Z. Willard, in the Opera
House last week, were taken down for
private use by one who has kindly loaned
them for publication.
would ike to ask you to look on two
pictures, one the arena of the Colosseum
covered with sand, 80, 600 people, patrieian
and plebian, the outcome of the education
Of the age of Pericles and Phidias, of all
that the art and science, of that greatest
period of art and science, could produce,
of all that Homer and Virgil could effect
by their unrivalled songs, and note the cruel
patrician faces, the throne ofthe Emperor,
and the seowling, dark brows of the coarse
{ plebians. In the arena stands an old man
while around the circle are the dens of the
savage beasts of prey. The man stands
u%ndannted ard cries aloud, Il am the
grain of God, but | must be ground and
crushed by the teeth Of the lions before I
can be made the bread of God to YOU"
The crowd surge and murmur, and there
is heard a low savage growl, Bring out
your lions and Ignotius lies a crush ed
and mangled heap, butehered to make a
Roman holiday.
And now | would ask you to go with me
to Chicago, where Dwight T. Moody, a
man, who would not be admitted to the
Freshman class at Princeton, stands be-
fore good men belonging to a class, ignor-
ant of art and science, and held bondage
by the slavery OF sin and crime. He stands
with the book of healing in his hand, and
proclaiming that God SO loved the world
that He gave His only son TO die for sinful,
degraded helpless nan They sing that
song, 'The mistakes of my life have been
many" Then they come forward and sign
the pledge, and take fresh courage to
fight the amending battle against sin and
crime and misery. They seek the Lord,
while he may be found, and holding fast
to the wheel of Gods Providence, go for
ward in the name of Him who said, IF |
be lifted up, | will draw, (not drag all
men unto me- Here is the difference be-
tween the two pictures, cultivation of taste
only, and the cultivation 0 flove, the teach
ing OF the Cross of Christ who is the en-
bodiment Of love. loving all men, and ask
ing love in return.
I thank God that the story Of tie cross
has power to adapt itself to the needs of
men In all ages; that what it has been to
man in the past it will be to posterity.
The cross is not sectarian, we may ding
ourselves aside from it and into sectarian-
ship, but the cross embraces all in its love
and its salvation, and stands in all the
ages a glory, sacred to God and man.
A preacher preached out of the book of
the gospel of Christ a sermon of brother
no cd and love, a Christ at the ballot box
as we'll as at the prayer meeting. His
people said, 1--WE hired you to preach the
gospel to u.s. II know you did, said
he. ''but | cannot make the gospel a little
polished pill for your delectation. ! am
ready to take the consequences. Here |
stand like Luther, God helping me |
can do no other" 1 began with the
a, b. abs of temperance reform, and ! have
advanced where-I see that alcohol has no
place in Gods gifts to man. An officer at
West Point, said to his class, IF You
aspire to shoulder straps, you must not
drink beer !" A chaplain, who spoke of
wine drinking as a trivial offence, has
been discharged from the service. Still
will the work go on until in tie window
of the White House shall be set a light.
Alright in the window for thee
a beacon to guide men to a higher and pur-
er life. The world believes in true Christ
ianity, the world applauds consistency,
it is something that every one wants.
Sappose a man is in bondage to a vice
have not all Of us been in bondage to
some evil, some besetting sin. Ii God
were to expose all our secret sins whose
cheek would be unblemished: so let US not
be too hard upon the man in bondage, but
let us lift up Christ, whose love and grace
alone makes us to differ, and make COM
mon cause against the enemy. \ man
