and students of Middlebury COLLEGE
both In his eloquent description of
the limitations of the blind and in his
narrative of the manner in which
Chese are so largely overcome he was
iolioWed with close attention. His
lecture was full of instruction. I
cnought 1T one of the noblest lessons
III courage l have ever seen taught to
a BODY of young people. The ex-
ample OF man fighting his way so
successfully through life despite his
severe handicap, is an inspiration
AT the same time his address was
well seasoned with wit and humor

Rev. j. J. Hutchinson's Opinion of
Chaplain Farman's Lecture.
After Chaplain Farman delivered
ms lecture in Lyndonville, Rev. J. J.
Hutchinson said, at was a great
pleasure to me to listen to Rev. M
W. farman lecture on Light in
Darkness." The church was packed
with an eager and appreciative audi
ence, intent on catching every word
and expression. Never was a lecture
so easily advertised, and have never
seen an audience so completely salts
Iled as they were that night. Mr..
Farman's ability to read the point
type amazed everyone, and not one
was seen by me to leave the building
without taking look at the ''blind
mans books" | heartily recommend
Mr. Farman as a pleasing and in
structlVe lecturer and also preacher"

ing how life came-nor what will
be the end but a voice asks" Is
there any pain in the life where
you are living?
Mr., lngersol replies" in that
unadulterated kingdom there is
no pain. Pain must come from
causes and then unauthorized
kingdoms and sovereigns are
brought down by causes ard
effects, and they must begin still
with a higher power.
Those causes and effects are
all ailments of life. Then the
next reasoning point we would
ask for is this, What does
those causes and effects originate
from? Mr., lngersoIl says they
must come from the violation of
the physical law and Brother
Kerr you have nothing else to
give US any better But this does
not satisfy US yet. Cor he said,
the brain is a kingdom the
mind is a sovereign" ana we are

there is no room for any higher

that sovereign can not be rul-
led, And there remains no more

again to the page of unbelief on

ask under our assumed position,
why do you think substance is
eternal? And the answer would
have to be, we are upon this
mountain and neither see we its
beginning nor its ending, only
that we are human and must
die.
And we cannot tell why we are
contendirg for something that
we don't know, or how this
mountain came here. Unless
substance is eternal" Neither
do we know the origin of a
cloak of ice and snow. Yet we
do know that death is certain,
we know not how nor when;
But it must come. We see The
ice and snow we know it
comes: we see this mountain we
know that it is here. But how
it came, Mr. Ingersol said let US
be honest with ourselves and
say we do not know" We
think DR.. Kerr will have 20 say
the same.
Again upon the same grounds
of reasoning we are still upon
the top of this mountain with.
out anything to support life but
a spear Of grass 1.-THE mind) that
springs up in the warm part of
the season and dies in the cold;
and this mountain at a season
of the year is covered over with
ice: and the mind or blade of
grass is liable at any moment
by little Increase of weight to

grass, Mr. Ingersol represents
as the blade Of mind, and Bro.
Kerr you must say the same
under your theory.

to be cut off; for the grass is

Substance is eternal" we rea =
son now that substances has
brought forth life. And is not
able to support the life which it
has produced-Hence life be-
comes a burden to substancc-A
burden to the power which pro-
duced it.
Again remem boring our situa
ton: AS standing upon the mou.
ntain with but one support
The progressiveness OF the
mind-This mind upon the rea
soning of Mr. lngersol is the
ruling power of the right and
morality. this brings US 10 a
point Of inquiry-Does :. this
same mind produce the good
and the evil? If so six thousand
years ago; the evil part reigned
supremelyl In those six thous-
and years according to the dec
larations of Mr. Ingersol: there
has been a slow stride in the
path of progression or the deli
vering OF the mind from the evi
to the good. Science the only
reformer; As Ingersol anc

you cannot help but see, that it's
sovereignty is taken from it and
places it subject 10 higher

sion on earth or progressions
god made Up in the minds of
dlsbelievers or even through man
the church of manity.
For in placing ourselves in a
position to look downward, ION
the reasonings of the skeptics)
we see nothing but darkness. in
looking upward our eyes see
nothing but the blue sky. In
looking backward nothing but a
faint dream of night pass over
our minds. In looking forward
we behold nothing but death.
Death is certain, and by the
power that death has over the
mind and all other beings here on
earth. proves clearly a God of
the universe who .contro,e all
things and will some Gay even de.
stroy DEATH AS we have said in
life and. death, we have two op.
posing powers made manifest.
So in placing ourself as it we're
upon a Mountain, nothing to sup.
port or sustain life; casting our
eyes downward our eyes beholds
nothing but darkness in looking
upward nothing but the blue
arch.
In looking backward all is
night and all thai we can observe
in looking forward, is death.
And that too, as it is stamped
upon the pages of time, Death
is certain"
And all that we can say of the
present position which we have
placed ourselves: while under
this shade is, that death is Ger.
tain.
And again by following the
teachings of Mr., Ingerso,, as
we are now on the TOP OF
the Mountain: and are in this
shade. How we came here.
We 40 not know: further:
than this: Progression or blu.
manity has placed US here. "
This was the sentiment of Inger.
sol in Dec. 1889. Under these
circumstances all that we can
see that progression has for US
is death But this does not salts
fv the weary mind. And it asks
its teacher how came we here?
