B., lectured. before large audience on
"The Good World.n He said: 1t is the
| for better times The spirit of mems
| hearts is optimistic. The great ques-
| tion which confronts the reformer is
| whether his hope of good future is
| merely dream or whether it is soon to
| be reality. If we ask what the teach
| ing of science is we find that evoIu-
tion shows us our social progress is
there is reason to believe it will be so
| in the future. But science has under
estimated theipower of ethical ssand reli-

sit is well known law of
physics that body at rest remains at
| rest unless acted upon by some ade-
ouate force. This is true throughout
| the world of matter. 1t is true also in the
realm of life. 1t holds good in the men
tai life. All motion and action are due
to some force. All forces are not the
same force and do not produce the same
results. There are physical forces and
moral forces. 1t is to the moral forces
| as chief that all the glories of the pres
ent century are due. Physical forces are
subordinate of means. Intellect and
virtue are the forces that direct and con-
troll. An end to be realized must be
one of the elements of advacement. The
| physical, mental and moral perfection
of each man aud the perfection of socie-
would accomplish this it is necessary to
secure proper environment, education,
free and obedient knowledge, character
and noble and elevating purpose.
These conditions will make men go as
they ought to co.
Tomorrow is day of rest and wor-
ship. DR.. Gallagher will preach. Mo n
day afternoon James Clement Ambrose
