The seventh annual "ladies'" meeting
of the Universalist club was held at the

members aud fair guests participated in
the affair, filling the spacious halls and
enjoyed the hospitality of the club.
The festivities opened with reception

Adm b. Capron. the vice president,
Frank H. Andrews. presided, and after
the menu had been fully discussed called
the assembly TO order and introduced
the speakers of the evening, Rev. James
M. Pullman, ID. ID. of Lynn, Mass, and
Rev. w. III. Morrison of Manchester.
N. II. Throughout the evening Luther's
orchestra discoursed sweet music and
the Amphion male quartet sang several
popular selections.
Rev. Mr.. Pullman was the first speak er
and said that in considering what It
might be proper for him to say on this
occasion he had not thought Of anyt ing
more appropriate than the number OF
ghosts that will be at the Worlds fair.
At the exposition in Philadelphia In
1875 ohe c. uld not help but be impressed
with the thought of how many buildings

Of the many machines exhibited. How
many failures led to the grand achieve
ment exhibited there. And this same
idea will come to all OF US at the Worlds
fair. Every Auccess is attended by num-
erous failures, but what OF that? Is 1t
not the
Way of the World?
Many work. but others step in and
enjoy the fruits of their labors.
We are making many ghosts In our
world. The rate Of mortality on tn
planet is 33 000, 900 year. There Is no
highway In the universe that is so
thronged as the path OF death. Death
Is not lonely path. There are ghosts
enough for the purpose. We contribute
83 000. 900 OF inteliigences in various
stages OF development TO the needy
cosmos. Suppose when we are passing
through the corridors Of the fair we begin
to imagine that over IL are u
crowd of witnesses. A crowd of
men who failed in life have come back to
see the success of others. Great as are
the crowds assembled in tie city, the
crowd in the air will be inconceivably
greater. Here will be the juDilant ones.

maybe there are some of the crowd of
g osts who will look down and say,
"There 90 some who are treated as we
were treated" Are they treated fairly?
The question will be decided as To
whether the men who own the machines
should be awarded the prize rather than
the men whose brains conceived the ideas.
Tho proud magnate will be followed
by the brain OF ghosts who have labored
and developed the idea from which he
derived his benefits. III we do not make
