Emerson's Last Lecture.

In his "Eccentricities Of Genius"
Major Pond tells the pathetic story Oh
Ralph Waldo Emerson's last lecture,
delivered in the Old South church In
Boston for the fund to save that build
ing from demolition:
"As he began reading his lecture the
audience was very attentive. After a
few moments he lost his place, and his
granddaughter, sitting In the front row
of seats. gently stepped toward him
and reminded him that he was lectur-
ing. He saw at once that he was wan
dering, and, with the most charming
characteristic. apologize bow, he re-
sumed his place, an incident that SEEM
cd 10 affect the audience more than
anything else that could possibly nave
occurred. A few moments later he
took a piece Of manuscript in his hand
and, turning around with 1t, laid 1t on
n side table. Just then one Of the audi
ence said to me Il think 1t was Mrs
Iiyermore or Mr.. Howe), please have
the audience pass right out and, rush
ing up to Mr.. Emerson, said, THANK
you so much for that delightful lee
ture; then, turning around, waved the
audience to go out
ale probably had been speaking
about 10 minutes. The audience pass
ed out, many Of them in tears. 1t wa:
one of the most pathetic sights 1 evel
witnessed"

that we are here, and for that we viii
strive till the election next November.
Give Us Office, or we die. Forever and
ever, amen" The world. to say the least,
is no better than the church on this sub
ject CT silence at b wrong time. In 9TH
er words, is it not time for Christianity to
become pronounced and aggressive rs
never before? Take sides for God and So
briefly and righteousness. IF the Lord
be God, follow him; if Baal, then follow
him" Have you opportunity of rebuk-
ing a sin! Rebuke it. Have you a chance
to cheer a disheartened soul? Cheer it
Have you a useful word to speak? Speak
il.
Be out and out, up and down for
righteousness. Ii your ship is afoat on
the Pacific ocean of Gods mercy, hang
out your colors from the masthead. Show
your passport il o have one. Do not
smuggle your soul into the harbor of
heaven. Speak out for Cod! Close up
the chapter OF lost opportunities and
open a new chapter. Before you get to
the door on your way out shake hands
with some one and ask him to join you
on the road to heaven. Do not drive up
to heaven in a two wheeled 'sulky'' with
room only for one. and that yourself, but
get the biggest gospel wagon you can
find and pile il full OF friends and neigh
bors and shout till they hear you all up
and down the skies. Come with us, and
we will do you good. for the Lord hath
promised good concerning Israel" The
opportunity for good which you may con
slider insignificant may be tremendous for
results, as when on the sea Captain Hal
dane swore at the ships crew with an
oath that wished them all in perdition.
and a Scotch sailor touched his cap and
said, Captain, God hears prayer, and
we would be badly off if your wish were
answered" Captain Haldane was con-
vlcted by the sailors remark and convert
ed and became the means of the saliva
ton of his brother Robert. who had been
an infdel. and then Robert became q
minister of the gospel, and under his min
istry the goddess Felix Neff became the
world renowned missionary of the cross,
and the worldly Merle d'Aubigne became
the author of 1.-The History of the Ref
ormation" and will be the glory of the
church for all ages. Perhaps you may
do as much as the Scotch sailor who just
tipped his cap and used one broken sem
tence by which the earth and the heavens
are still resounding with potent inlu.
ences. Do something for God. and do it
right away or you will never do it at all.
Time flies away fast,
The while we never remember;
Row soon our life here
Grows Old with TIE year
That dies with the next DccsUbar!
