Is this unchangeable, unknown, arS
 nothing the controlling partP Is It, in
 fact, the real substantial man3 IT man
 was msde in the image of his Maker, there must be some resemblance, some
 similaritv-s shadow, if you will, but 8
 likeness at leaat-to bis Creator. And so
 we find him; and therein he differs from
 the beasts of the field over which he holds dominion.
 He can make a clock that can count
 every minute in the year, and tell you
 every day how fast it goes. He can make
 an iron monster whose every breath and
 pulse beat is living thunder; which pos-
 sesses the strength of thousand men, and which will obey the slightest com- maud of It's master. It was made to obey, and does obey the bidding of it's creator. IG is trld to take dozen movable pal aces, filled with hundreds of human pas- sengers, from the City of Buffalo and set them down in New York The command is hardly given before it is performed.
 The Master tells the Genii Go take him while he sleeps and carry him from one end of the state to the other. He awakes 1 in the morning and finds his every wish has been grstifed.7 It generally took the powerful genii of Aladdin's lamp at le&st one night to build palace. This story
 in it's widest flight of fancy is surpassed every day before our very eyes. The miracle has become so common that we have come to regard it as one of the nec- esssries of life.
 The old masters could paint portrait in a month. To-day man makes little instrument and orders the gun, millions Of miles away, to paint him 8 picture, and, quicker than the eye can wink, his portrait is before him; every hair of his head Is numbered; the very smiles on his face are snatcbed of, stamped on the parchment and spread out before him.
 Machines seem almost endowed with intelligence, and excite our wonder im- measurably as we see their perfect work, Yet more wonderful than all Is the fact that every one of these complicated in- ventions existed in the human brain be. fore it took the concrete form.
 St Peter's Cathedral, universally con- sidered to abe the grandest edifice in ChristendOm, wss put together, piece by piece, in the brain of the architect before 8 single stone was laid. Every house in the world, every article of merchandise made by human ingenuity Is but 8 copy of the same thing first formed in the mind.
 The greatsCoIliss engine at the Gen. tennial exposition, the largest engine in 1 the world, with irs powerful arms swing l ing around, the very embodiment of re- sistless physical force, was only copy of an invisible human thought. There | was room enough foK the monstreus en- zine to perform every revolution within | the boundaries of little akulI-noise- ! less and out of sight, but it l was there. Which ia the might ier,- the man who told the engine | how and when and where to go, or the | engine that merely obeyed the spoken word?
 Not many years ago the public were startled by the announcement of 8 won- derful invention, the product of the con- structive intellect of an industrious American newsboy. Successive experi- l ments and improvements have tended to l develop the perfection of an instrument l by which we can sit in our homes and ] listen to the Grand Opera as it is sung in | Paris,-every instrument in the orches- | tra, every voice in the chorus, the ex- pressions of nnirth and approbation, with 1 a distinctness that almost challenges the original; by which the effort of any great l orator, or songster, or actor and their elcquence, their intonation, their voice | can be preserved for years, and then given to us with all the enthusiasm of ] their owners. The world has seen some l wonderful inventions during the current l century, but none surpssses the phono- l graph, Thomas A. Edison, ,the newsboy of Michigan, "the Wizard of Meulo Psrk."
 Again let me say that each of these productions had -an invisible creation within the brain of it's author before it had tangible existence. "But in every mans mind" says Emerson, s'some images, words and facts remain, without effort on his part to imprint them, which others forget, and afterwards,these illus trate to him important laws"
 All our progress is an unfolding like the vegetable bud, you first have an in stinot then an opinion, then knowledge as the plant has root, bud and fruit.
 Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason. It is vain to hurry. By trusting it to the end, it shall ripen into truth, and you shall know what you be lieve.
 Each man has his own method. What you have aggregated in & natural man. ner surprises and delights when 1t is pro- duced for we cannot ever see each oth- CTS secrets. And hence, the difference between man in natural sendowments is insignificant in comparison with their common wealth.
 What a task men must have had What is the hardest task in the world? To think. would put myself in the atti- tude to look in the eye an abstract truth, and I cannot. blench and withdraw on this side and that. I seem to know what he meant who said, 'No man can see God face to face and ive." For exam pie: A man explores the basis of civil government. Let him intend his mind without respite, without rest, in one di- rection. His best heed for long time avails him nothing. Yet thoughts are fitting before him.
