A Lecture on Sidney Smith.

Rev. E. P. Parker of Hartford, CT, who is
always heard here with pleasure whether
from the pulpit or platform lectured at the
North church last evening upon the subject,
"Sidney Smith: His Wit and Wisdom" He
said that the play of the humor of Sidney
Smith was held more in popular estimation
than its power. He was known as the wit
tiest man of his generation and all genera
tlons, but had he nothing more than art he
would not be entitled to their consideration
that evening. The faulty impression re-
gardlng his character and work which has
prevailed has directed attention from the
pubic questions which he treated and the
way he treated them. Moore said his
natural character was grave and serious, and
many friends confirmed that statement. The
words, wisdom and wit, We're frequently
coupled in speaking of HIM.
he was born in England in June, III
HIS iather was an eccentric man and his wit
came from his mother, who was of Huguenot
blood. He distinguished himself in school
at winchester but of his nine years life at
Oxford almost nothing is known. At the
solicitation of his father he gave up his con-
templated legal life and entered the church,
becoming curate. Afterwards he went to
Edinburgh, Scotland, where he laid the
foundation of his fame. There he met many
youHS LHRllSuIueu w no went there to study
and who afterwards became famous The
condition of society in Great Britain at that
time was one OF such agitation and alarm that
we can hardly comprehend it. Some We're
struggling for liberty and others resisting
the movement. There was corruption in
official circles and great distress among the
poor.
The young men formed an organization
which they called the Friday Club, and
Sidney Smith proposed that they publish a
review to express to the world Their opin-
ions. So the Edinburgh Review came into
existence in October, 1902. 1t was edited Sy
Sidney Smith, and thus appeared a great
light in darkentd time. The influence
which the review had in moulding new
British opinions can hardly be overestimat-
ed, and while Smith not long afterwards left
1T, he continued to write articles for it for %
years. The articles show the seriousness of
his labor and have been called the perfection
OF journalism. His pages are strewn with
sparkling epigrams and his articles correct
ed abuses by such pow erful wit as few men
have had command of. He was one uf the
best British friends America had and his
articles on America are well worth atten-
tion.
AS preacher and lecturer men tlocked to
hear his brilliant wit and earnest words, for
wit was to him not a means of wounding but
of healing. The speaker gave numerous
examples of the humor of Smith which we'll
showed his sparkling wit and apt sayings.
The lecture was one of exceeding interest
to all and was heard with great pleasure and
profit.

The Ice Situation.

1t is thought that the total cut on the
Hudson will be about three quarters of the
usual amount.
The Bangor Daily News says that no ice
has been stacked on the Penobscot this sea-
it. The Penobscot harvest is about 100000
tons.
A Richmond special of Feb. 21st says ::
"Work was discontinued, Friday, on ice
stacks at all places owned by the Morse Ice
Co. This will reduce the cut nearly 100000
tons below what was anticipated. The re-
cent gain of ice on the Hudson is assigned
as the cause for the above action. 1t means
a loss of many thousands of dollars to labor
in this vicinity, but every body is hopeful of
a good summers work.

From Armenia.


MAINE PASTOR RECEIVES INFORMATION OF
oUTRAGEs ON RELATIVES.
Rev. S. A. Aprahamian, pastor of the Con-
gregational Church at Green's Landing, re-
ceives letters confirming the report of the
sufferings of his near relatives in Armen enia.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Aprahamian received
letter from a missionary saying that his sis
ter, with her five little children, were in
utter destituton. Later Mr.. Aprahamian
received letter from his sister confirming
the worst. The husband and his brothers
were shot down before the eyes of the wife
and children, and when the griefstricken
wife cried out in suffering to her Saviour,
one of the murderers with an oath struck
her, saying: "Do you still call on Jesus ?"
Two younger sisters of Mr.. Aprahamian are
robbed of all their possessions by the Mos
lens who protect them. An uncle of Mr..
Aprahamian writes: "We are sitting naked
in our shops, our house plundered and re-
duced to ashes. Read the 18th Psalm if you
would get faint idea of our condition" +"
Mr.. Aprahamian is recent graduate of
the Bangor Theological Seminary and the
Green's Landing church is his first charge.
He frequently preached and lectured in Bel
fast while studying in Bangor He has sent
money to his relatives in Armenia, but hard
ly dares to hope that it will reach them.
