 Rev. pr. Lyman Abbott preached an- other eloquent sermon tn Battell chapel yesterday morning and took the same text that he used last Sunday, Matthew 1 vii, 10, Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as 1t is in heaven. pr. Abbott said, in substance:
 By this kingdom is meant one in which each man shall not do as he pleases, but shall please to do as he should. It will be one from which all lantagonism and jealousy of every kind shall disappear. It will be one of CO., | Ioperation and of confederation to main tain the standard. Christ's object was to form a new social order pervaded with this aim. The question to-day is, What can you or do to promote this aim? In the first place. we can each promote peace and Joy in our own lhomes. Many of you will shortly go | Ifrom this place to spend Thanksgiving | in your homes. What kind of example will you carry? Your younger brothers will look up to you and will be influenc- ed by your example If you carry a god examople you will be doing Christ's work
 Have you ever called your mother blessed? Have you ever considered how she has herself to you? Have you ever walked by her side when she was glorying in her son?

Are you going to measure your success by how much you can lay up for yourself, or by how much good you can do in the world? At the present time there is great dis cussion in my state over the differences between the trust and the free competi- ton movement. There is a great desire to break down the combinations. Both sides are wrong. The evil is not in the combination; it is not in free competi- ton,
 The art of politics to-day Is the art of government. The cause of the diffi- culty is much the same as in the old parable. Each tree had too much to do
 for itself to be ruler over the rest with the exception of the bramble. It is Just so id politics The lawyer says he is too busy: he cannot go into politics
 The merchant says he is too busy, but the bramble Is not too busy. Such men as Jones of Minneapolis, Folk of Mis- scuri, solby of New Jersey, and Jerome of New York are saying to me that thero is way In which this country can be ruled along the lines of right eousness and peace When one of our great statesmen went to Cuba and
 brought order out of chaos; when one of our rich men left the pursuit of for tune and went into government work
