The views advanced In' the above
paragraph is not only in -harmony
with the attributes of God Lot they are
in harmony with the constitution aid
Tints of man and are surtained by tha
xj-erience of man in every age.of the
vorld. No one has ever Keen -put in

tiurning pit, has ever been known
•ocape the legitimate com-eqaence* of the
iccurrance. Sol conceive it to be with
the superior and higher law ai writ

transcribed iu the volnmn of inspira
tion for the government of man as a
social, intellectual and religious being.
Tell me not that a God of infinite jus

erapt the habitual drunkard Irota tl
damning coBNeqoaiices of his t4djliaJ>i
or the murderer or
and parity, from the sharp pangs or tl
threatened consequences that follows
life of infamy and crime.
It is not relevant or competent to ri
mind me of the deliverance of Daniel
the Lions’ Den or that of tha He
brew children in the furnace of Nebooh
adneezer. Their deliveraaca was not
affected by prayer hat by speciat inter
position in the absence of crime.'' I
would here suggest that to ba told that
seducer from the path of virtue or
ie who has committed morder or vio
lated any of the commandments ot
God inay evade the retnflriie of conse
quences or the penalty thereof by pray-
no incentive to virtue or protnoter
erence, but tends to subvert oni
better nature am! invites to the viola
tion of the law that we mat enjoy the
pleasures of seasuali&m for ai seasch
with n fostered hope‘of receiving:*
crown of eternal 'glory..
Here we are met with the suggestion
that if it be true that the 'penalty ot the
law or the consequences of Us violation
cannot be evaded, then it iartjvv* -the
certainty of universal and etarpal yrnf-
fering aflar death fo'r all Taxt tinned.
This is not a legitimate deduction frtin
the prem aea for the duration of pun
ishment 'or the violation of the law ia
an open question. If we assume that
the resuits of a violation of tha moral
law is a consequence jnst ai
of the result arising frOiai t
the- phj*Uil) lfwi|l then| tl_ _—
which has disturbed the christai^
world for centuries is solved. The sev
eral views entertained by the different
Nectaries of the proteatant church may
b. h.rroat"7.«l for
- violation of th«Uw^ —
lion works, for-hit* diminnti
of.the glory that dawned upon dwarft
and blind moral and mental vision.
So I conceive that it will he in <
resurrection. His will tfc thr glory
the stare of the smalleet magnitude,
far below the glory of Wesley or that
of others who realize the glory «.f the
eon, whose beams ot light radiate and
illumine the immensity of space and
presents to the cnltuml vision God
in all his majesty, power and gl--rv
Here 1 would suggest that it is neith
er logical or scriptural to suppose that
death would release Mr. A. from the
consequences of life of low amt mental
culture, and place him upon a pi
with Wesley, or Howard “Bellone
Chapin, whose lives were devoted
mental and moral cnhnre preparatory
to the higher life in the home of G< d
The point 1 wish to make here is, 1>
Mr. A. was nor sensible of the absenct
of the intensified pleasures realized by
those o' a higher standard of
and more elevated views of God and
the work of his hand while in this life,
why ahonld it be a thing inciediblethat
God in his mercy would ordain
absence of any positive pain for
direlection of the duties in the prei
life. His little cop cannot he enlarged
by tho simple process of death,butprayer
as a means of mental and moral progress
will be available in the home of God.
It is founded upon the imperfection!
aml want* of man, and is in hurmor.}
with the character and pnr|*oses of God
for eternal progress characterizes all
this work as well in Heaven as
eartb. Death then docs not close
avenues of knowledge nor paralyze
superior powers of man to act ia
resurrection. Tho voice of prayer i
means of moral and mentalelevatim
a still higher plain is not bushed. The
demands of virtue and tho vo
erance iB dot stilled but the aspiration
becomes more lofty and elevated as i ‘
tratramtneled soul gains strength a
6ceks to assimilate the perfection
God. . Consider the poor indiau win

from the forest, the stones, and tk<
mountain brooks, and rises, imt a sin

edge of the truetGod will determine th,
measure of his capacity to realize the
joya of Heaven. And ao with the Pa
gan Philoaaphers. Plato. Senses. Epie
tetua and Marcns Anrclins, who were *
law unto themselves in the present life,
will enter the spirit home ignoran
the true God, and will have every
of knowledge thrown open to them
new beauties and brighter glori<
will' dawn upon their dwarft
darkened moral and mei
tal vision and while there, will be ■
absence of that fall fruition of bli>
that flows from a perfect knowledge of
God and a life in harmony with the
precepts of Christ, their diminutive
cup of joy will be commensurate with
their capacity to receive.
The necessity of prayer and fasting

indicating a climax in the financial af
fairs ot the exposition. The exhibitors
held a meeting and almost unanimous
ly agreed that some immediate inter
vention must be made to avert a col
lapse of the most dangerous nature,
several expressed the opinion that to
tal lack of business capacity on the
part of the management had been the
of all the costly delays thus far.
The two main difficulties now to be en-
oouatered are the delay in bringing the
position to a presentable condition
and the financial stress of the manage
ment. Upon the fi.-st point, one exhib
itor said, the time has come when no
announcement from tha management
will be believed by the public. The ex
position will never receive the people’i
patronage nntil the exhibitors announce
that it ia ready for visitors. Corner,
the leader of the band which has been

They felt it too late to start, they gave*

aad for many years, in remembrance
pf that deliveranlenll the clocks of the
city were kept one hour ahead of time,
and they struck 1 when it was 12, and

ties* may fail after awhile, before you
bad attended to the thing that pertain
to your soul’s welfare? The ratio of
mined intellects in this country is in
creasing year by year. There ia some
thing in onr climate that urges people
to such extremes and there is angli a
pressure upon onr active business men
that sometimes mental disorder* come,
and put an end to the man’s prospects
of repentance. He had plenty of’ time
of illumined mental faculty to 'attend
to the matter, but he procrastinated
until hia mental faculties fell from the
throne. Pythagoras had such a mor
bid idea abont the importance of study-
iog philosophy that he with a string
tied the hair of hia bead to a beam so
that if at any time he began to slum
ber and his head nodded, the pain
would awakon him. .So there are men
who had such a morbid idea that they
must be busy and attend to this, and
attend to that, and the other thing and
brilliant men of business, and
tho most brilliant men of professional life
are finding their intellects giving away.
Now, Htppoae that while a man has
the opportunity of attending to the
great work for which hi* mind was

suppose his mind perishes,—what then?
Aslip, a fall, a sudden stroke on the
head some affliction for which yon are
not ready, may destroy the intellect.—
And you really think if your intellect
perished that you wonld have no re
sponsibility in the fact that for many
year*, with an unclouded mind, you re

pected to be Christians, but after a
while mental diaotdere fell upon them,
and though now they are not responsi

brought into account for anything they

not really think they will be brought
into an account for the long years
when they were not nnder mental
eclipse? Oh, while yod havo yonr full

circumstance of my own life, and you
will understand why I say this. • /
“About fifteen years ago, I found iu
ie of the poorest quarters of this city,
woman whom I had known', as a
child. She was the daughter of a plan-
tho county in Virginia in which
born. We had gono to the same
little school, played anu grown up to
gether.
“She had married somo scapegrace,
ad was now a childless widow, mis-
•ably poor, but too proud to accept
ay aid. She occupied n decent room
1 tho neighborhood of tho abattoir,
aud supported herself by making dresa-
for the batcher’s wives and for aer-
nt girls. They were poorly made,
for *he was no seamstress.
Sho had no associates, bnt these
nen. I triod in vain to indnee her
otne to my house. All I could do
* to go once or twice a week and ait
with her for an hour or two, recalling
tho dear old homo gossip and jokeR,
ughing together, cr crying out of full
hearts. 1 was her only friend, the one
only trace left of her old life, and I
iow what my visits were to her.
In the winter of 1S70 her health
failed rapidly. I wa* absent in Vir
ginia. I went purposely to the old
homestead, where her uncles still lived,
gathering up every scrap of informa
tion which I thought would touch or
please her; I bought copies of photp-
graphs of her brothers and mother, and
more than all, brought a cordial invi
tation from her uncles to come te them
and spend her remaining days at
home.
“It was early on a rainy November
day when I returned to the city. I
was tired with tho long journey. I
thought ot p—^ hmamvo*, mnd Atmaaw
to prepare to go to her, • 1 hirf, - fdokfng
out at tho rain and mud, I said, as you
did jn*t now, ‘To morrow will ’do;

fire.
The next day 1 went. A scrap of
black muslin was tied on the handle of
her door. ‘Yes, the landlady said, she
nk very slow, and Nbe lias been
