Comment on the essay being in order
Mr.. Joseph Coudon said that Mr.. Wilson
welded facile pen, and while he enjoyed
the essay, he did not altogether agree
with Mr.. Wilson that substitutes has yet
been found for natures depleted supplies.
| Lumber for instance was not cheapened
to the farmer as yet by any known sub
stitute, as we'll as other material sup
plies.
Col. Noyes took issue with Mr.. Wilson
with regard to the development OF our
mineral resources, and the increase Of
the precious metals Our hills are honey
combed by prospectors of which he had
been one, and the rich deposits of nature
are already being rapidly exhausted; in
| ether words the rapid Increase of popu-
| latiOn was far in excess of the increase
in the production of the precious metals.
In this line of material resource, there
was compal atively limited possibility for
the future.
Mr.. Duyckinck said he was interested
in the essay, and appreciated fully the
possibility of the future in the applica-
tions of electricity. AS to the quoted
opinion with reference to the growth of
the church he was not prepared to speak,
but that the future did not seem to
promise an advanced sentiment upon the
observance of the Sabbath particularly
by great railroad and other corporations.

both expressed themselves as entertained
by Mr.. Wilson's essay.
