When the presiding officer announced
yesterday afternoon that Rev Dr. Iheo-
dore J.. Cuyler, -. H., of Brooklyn. the
well-knoWn Presbyterian clergyman,
would deliver an address at y. NJ, and
that his time would rot be limited, the
faces OF some Of The delegates grew
much longer and fears seem to arise
t1at the session would be too protractel.
When, however. the venerable minister
took his seat last evening. after speaking
for about an hour. those who listened TO
him regretted that ne did not continue
longer
Dr. Cuylor is highly entertaining
and his Illustrations are often OF
dramatic but certainly always OF a very
convincing nature.
In starting out. the speaker said he
believed thar there must bc "A great many

TO completely FIJI the biz church I'm a

pies, in order to attend the gathering OF
"The Lords Young Guard the old
Dominion" lie then dwalt at some
length on Virginia intimating In his re
marks that Major Jed Hotchkss had been
his informant 70 a large extent, for he in
timated that what Major HOtchkiss did
not know about Virginia was not worth
knowing. He added that the young men
of this Commonwealth were in no manner
better fitted 10 serve the. State and
Christ than the members Of the Young
Mems Christian Association were doing
The speaker alluded TO the fact that he
joined the association some forty years
ago, under the presidency OF Mr.. Howard
Crosby, OF New York, an association that
evolved Or. Charles \. Parkhurst. He
next spoke of his experience in England
Ia ~ mn u no "A
jubilee meeting of which the founder.
Sir George Williams. was the centre fig
ure. In speaking OF the men who at
tended that gathering, he alluded 70 Cor
nelius Vanderbilt as the most modest
man. but one Of the men whom God
would trust money with to dispense OF
II I'm the interest Of Christ. He described
how the week OF honor in London wound
up at Windsor. the home OF good Cd

THROWING OPEN HE MAUsoLEUM.
Or. Cuyler pointed out how greatly the
visitors had been honored by the Queen,
who threw open for their inspection the
mausoleum of the late Prince Consort
an honor which never is conferred upon
visitors. He also stated that Sir George
Williams had intended TO visit America
In May next but the speaker had re-
ceived a letter on Monday last informing
him that on account OF his sickness last
fall, Mr.. Williams had been sent TO Men
tone by his physicians. and he had been
forced 10 give up his intended visit to
this country. At DR.. Cuyler's suggestion
the convention decided 10 send cable
gram TO Sir George Williams, expressing
the sympathy OF the gathering in his
illness and suffering.
In speaking OF himself Or. Cuyler said
that since he gave up his large congrega-

at-large. and added that he was a Me-
thodistical Presbyterian, with strong
Baptist and Congregational
affinities. In referring to the association
work more distinctly the speaker said

church. The objection was often raised !
that IL would not do 10 have too many |
irons in the fire. but he had only that |
one reply TO make, that "A good Christian |
would put in tongue, poker, shovel and |
all.

In speaking OF the temptations that
awaited young men every night, DR.. Guy

young men every night. The money that
