TIE NATIONAL EXPORT EXPOSITION.

The exhibition OF American manufactures
which has been In progress in Philadelphia our
ing the last two months and hair, ana Wilch
closes this week, has been credtaDle, ANU ol
tbe whole a successful enterprise. III mas neen
largely local affair. That Is to say more
than one-half of the exhibits came from PENN
sylvania and fully a quarter or thlru lloIe
from the Immediately adjoining States-Ne"-
Jersey. New-York, Delaware and ONO. New
England and the West We're represented 10
only q limited extent But when one Tcnects
upon the number and diversity OF fennsyl-
vonia's manufactures he can readily understand
that the keystone State alone could NIL a Dig
exhibition hall with objects well worth look
ing at.
Careful scrutiny OF the exhibits themselves
revealed some perpexing omissions. IL puzz'es
one to guess why certain important classes "a
goods were not shown there at all. Textiles -a'
least American textileS-were conspicuous ny
THAR absence. &c. too, with electrical III"
chihery. Yet those two classes of merchandise
are now being pushed vigorously IN foreign
countries by American manufacturers FROM
the scarcity of bicycles, moreover one might
suspect what Is certainly not true, that the
ooa of the bicycle had passed; and the amount
of running machinery on exhibition can De IN
forrod from the fact that 200 horsepower
coeoIene engine was able 10 keep II all ID
operation.
on the other hand, there was fine lot OF
vehicles. agricultural implements, food prod
ucts musical Instruments, articles made from
iron and steel. and a remarkable variety OF
other manufactures. Dozens or well KNOWN
houses whose headquarters are more than i've
hundred miles away from the scene OF the ex-
hibiton took advantage of the opportunity thus
afforded for advertising purposes.
A few of the manufacturers who showed
their goods at philadelphia placed in charge OF
their exhibits men who were not as well In
formed in regard to prices as they might have
been. Inaurers and possible buyers were not
always able TO obtain as much information as
they desired in regard to articles whose utility
and attractiyeness excited comment But these
instances were exceptional. The fact that
during the last few weeks there have been
daily sales amounting to between $4,000 and
100000 shows that the primary object Of the
enterprise has been realized to a moderate ex-
tent already and. Of course, the effect OF the
exhibition will continue to be felt for years.
The educational influence of collective dis
play of this kind upon the rural population

| population, too, for that matters sufficient
| justification for making one. But the main
motive behind such affairs is not philanthropic
but selfish. In the present case special regard
WAS had to the extension Of American com
merce to foreign lands-an achievement which
the countrys recent industrial development has
rendered more than ever possible and desirable
Philadelphia Is to be congratulated upon the
manner In which she has worked out that Idea
in the National Export Exposition.

INGERSoLL ON MOODY.


Ingersoll and Moody died within a
year Of each other. Just before the
death of the great agnostic he was in
ST. Louis. Mr.. Moody had just closed
a great revival there. The colonel was
asked for an. opinion of the evangelist
and his work. He gave it as follows:
Il have no doubt that Mr.. Moody in
tends to do right. / have confidence in
his sincerity. Mr.. Moody is an old
fashioned, orthodox Christian, about
three-fourths of a century behind the
times. He still believes in the mon
ster called Jehovah, in the mysterious
being known as the Holy Ghost. and
really believes that his God once
worked at the carpenter business in
Palestine. Mr.. Moody also believes in
heaven for the believers and he'll for all
the rest. And this belief is the founda-
ton of his happiness. j think that Mr..
Moody believes that he can reform men
and women by preaching his religion to
them, by talking on subjects about
which nobody knows anything; by de-
scribing things that never happened,
and predicting others that never will.
Nothing can excel his confidence in
absurdities; his reliance on credulity.
Mr. Moody, as 1 said before, is a good
man but his ideas are too old. / Go
not think il possible to reform the
world, except through the development
of the brain. You cannot do this by
singing psalms. You must give to the
world new facts, new truths. You must
change physical and mental conditions
if you wish for Improvement. Charac-
tiers are not formed in a moment. Men
often stop and say, I have gone on this
road far enough. 1 am going to
change If this happens during a re-
vival they call it conversion. the work
of the Holy Ghost, but after all. it is
natural There comes the time in the
life of a dog when he stops running
after his tail and settles. down. Mr..
Moody would probably say the dog had
been converted. So there comes time
in the life of a horse when he stops
kicking the whippletree, pulls his share
of the load and contentedly munches
his oats, but nobody thinks this is the
work of the Holy Ghost. So there comes
a time in the life of a young man when
he feels the touch of responsibility and
when he says that the time of playing
is over. and he's got to work. Mr..
Moody calls this conversion. l call this
as natural as it would be to take an
other road when you find you're on the
wrong one.

That Little Christmas Tree,

ISL. NlClOidS-t
1t was a little Christmas tree. WITH can
And golden balls and silver stars. bright
and shining row.
The children danced around 1t. and clap
ned their hands with glee;
And not child was happier than the lit
tie Christmas tree.
But next week, stripped of all its gifts
and cast into the yard,
II murmured with a little sign: NOW,
surely. this - hard
To give delight for but that night
And then to be forgot.
Would seem to be for any tree
A most unhappy lot
But Ned. and Ted and little Fred soon
spied it where il lay.
.'Hurrahr' they cried, "A masti A mast!
Well sail and sail away,
And far across the Arctic seas
Our gallant ship shall go
To find the seals and polar bears
And jolly Esquimaux.
A plank their ship, a sheet their sail. the
happy tree their mast,
These bold explorers northward turned,
and sailed away so faSt
That soon Ger unknown lands there wav-
ed the banner of the free
The staff that proudly bore IL
Was the little Christmas tree
What afterward befell it Would take me
long to tell;
1t once became fairy wood. where elves
and dryads dwell;
And once a pranclng coal-black steed,
With a noble knight astride;
And once a dark and gloomy cave
Where bears and lions hide.
But when, one day, there wandered by
ragged. shivering boy,
He saw the little Christmas tree and drag
ged il home with JOY.
A merry blaze he kindled,
With its welcome warmth and shine.
And the cold. bare room was fragrant
With the odor of the pine.

EVANGELIST MOODY.

With the death of Dwight L. Moody,
a picturesque figure passed from the
pulpit and lecture platform. For a
quarter of a century he labored in the
Lords vineyard, in no UNCONVENTIONAL
corner but wherever he thought his
services were needed, and in every
place he believed he could do good
There was time when ministers of the
ultra cult and pastors of dignified ex-
clusiveness and sectarian self-sufficien-
cy were wont TO Sneer at him as being
too democratic in his Christianity and
sensational in his appeals to the hearts
of men. But he outlived the criticism
without changing his method or re-
vising his creed He was universally
respected and beloved at the time of
his death, for the good he had accom-
plished in his lifetime was ocean wide
and deep. Moody was a power among
the common people and the number
that he awakened to a consciousness
of duty of human fellowship, of re-
ligious obligation, was legion. He was
one of the most active. earnest, loyal
recruiting officers in the service of
walk of life, stimulated interest in his
cause wherever he went, and inspired
a loyalty TO the crusade against sin
and unbelief such as no other man of
his time accomplished.
He may not have been a great man.
but he was great force fer good His
sermons may have been exhortations
rather than logical discourses; they
may have reached the heart rather
than the head; they may have aroused
the dormant faith instead of answering
the doubts Of skepticism-but they
reached the mass of humanity, which
is, perhaps, the main thing, after all,
whether it be done through the head,
the heart or the stomach.
Most people look after their own
stomaehs. Many have no heads worth

some kind or other, and it is upon the
door of the heart Christ knocks.
