THE SAINTS OF L JITTER DAIS.
THEIR RISE AND PROGRESS.
The Terrestrial and Celestial Career
of Joe Smith-What a Wonder
ful "Boy" He Was, and
What a Wonderful Saint
He Has Become.
Last evening our reporter visited the place
therein the Mormon colony in this city hold
their weekly meeting. The attraction which
drew hlra to this questionable place of worship
waj the Announcement that several mission
aries, just arrived from Great Salt Lake City,
were to be on hand, lor the purpose of edifying
the 8aipts, and enlightening such (tray Gentiles
as might happen to straggle In.
Th Flsvee Wherein the Saints Do Con.
i. gregrata
was discovered to be a small second-story room
at No. 54 N. Eighth street. Kb dimensions were
found to be about ten feet wide by twenty
long. The walls were decorated with plans and
pictures oi Great Salt Lake City, as well as with
sundry framed parchments, ono of which, and
theonlyone we had an opportunity to examine,
had something to eay about the "Ancient United
Order of Female Druids," whatever they may be.
At one end of the room a large chair stool
npen an elevated platform. - By the side ot Ibis
stood a wooden column, surmounted by a block
f marble. The chair itsett was vacant, and its
uce not exactly clear.
At the opposite end of the room there was an
other platform, on which were seated three men,
Who preved to be the elders of (he true Church.
In front of them was an apology tor a pulpit,
in the shape of a column of wood about (en
Inches square, on which rested two or three
books. .
. The Congregation of the Saints
-was not large. About twenty of each sex were
present. Nearly all of them, especially those of
the gentler sex, looked rataer tne worse tor
wear. That most of them were of Hinglish
birth was Indicated by the hearty "Haruensl"
which every now and tben interrupted the pro
ceedings. oi tne rest, mere was out a small
quantum of intelligence present, cither in the
pnlpit or on the floor, if there is any science in
tne pnjsiognomwvs art. -
r , - . , : The Invocation.
The' exercises were commenced at 7 o'clock
by the singing of a hjrnn, in which Gentiles,
Jews, and Heathens were indiscriminately in
vited to "Come to the supper ot the Great Bride
groom. A nan with a monstrous black beard, and a
hnnmUtakable Hinelish haccent, then pro
nounced a prayer, in which blessings were in
voked upon the little group of true Baiuts. and
upon the Prophet Brl?hamYoung,Hnd the Twelve
Apostles,- ana an tners in authority m Utah.
Tlie President of the United States was reck
lessly omitted from this ca'egory.
Next in order came a hymn, which, amounted
to nothing more nor less thanapiean lo Joe
Smith, who was declared to have su'Jerbeded
Saint Peter as custodian of the keys of Heaven.
Alter denouncing the shedding of his blood by
aseaa6ins, tbe poet went on to declare tbat
"earth must alcne for the blood of tbat man."
Then came the Mormon battle cry, in tbeae stir
ring words:
"Wake vp the world tir the confliot now racing,
Millions snail know oroiher Joseph agan 1"
The chorus which was sung at the end of each
verse was equally emphatic. It ran in this
wise:
"Had to the Prophet ascended to Heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now light him la rw;
Mingling with rods, he can wait for his brethren,
Death cannot conquer the hero again-"
All of which was so self-evident that it was
sang with a hearty will.
Elder Edward V. Tallldge
then arose to address the ' audience on the sub
ject of 4,The Bise and Progress of the Church ot
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." The most
striking features of the Elder were his short
stature, his square head, his short black beard
and moustache, bU antiquated style ot tires.
and his unmistakable Hingllsh hex traction.
. The Sermon.
The speaker of the evening, on coming for
ward, invoked the spirit of God, tbat he might
BVeak in the power thereof. He then an
nounced as bis text the 21st verse o( the 41st
chapter of the Book of Isaiah, which reads as
follows:
"Produce your cause, saith the Lor J; bring
forth your strong reasons, saith the King of ;
Jacob." '
He then declared that the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints was founded on the
teachings of Joseph Smith, a prophet of God,
bent not to replace Jesus Christ, but as His ser
vant. If Joseph Smith were not such a prophet,
the Church or which those present were mem
bers was built on a foundation of sand. There
are millions of honest men who .serve the Lord
in tbe best way they know how, and that with
out being members of this Church, or even of
any branch ot the Christian" Church. The
speaker hoped that such Christians as wefe pre
sent would accord,a like sincerity to the mem
bers of tbe Church of Latter Day Saints.
. A Touchstone for Joe Smith.
He proposed to make the text just read the
touchstone on., which to tet the mission of
Joseph Smith. He proposed to test his mission
by both Scripture and facts, tor lloruionism, ai
it is called, is no louger a mere experiment, an
abstraction of theology, a baudful of fauatics;
but it Is a fact, and it is last becoming the. great
problem of sociology ter the'age.
There Is but One God, and Joe SmJth is
III Prophet.
Jof eph Smith was called ot God to establish
bis Church, as it was ectabllbhed by Jesus
Christ of old. It was by him organized thirty
six yesrs aeo, under the name, not of the Mor
mon Churcb, but ot the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day 'faints, with prophets, apostles,
and an inspired priesthood. In those respects,
at least, it is like the ancient Churches.
It is like it also, in respect to a belief in
freeb revelation?, the administration of angels,
the working of miracles and the seeing of
visions. This last peculiarity is founded upon
the saving of Solomon, tbat the people perish
when there are no visions. In fact, sail the
sneaker, it ia like the ancient Church in all re
spects except With regard to the carnal com
mandment which waa added m this caw, but
with which he bad nothing to do. (As this re
erred to the practice of polygamy, tbe pubic, is
ertainlv entitled to sympathy on account of
oeing deprived of Elder Tallidge's elucidation
of the most mysterious portion of his creed.)
, A Marvellous Youth.
When Joseph Smith had his Irst vision, he
wai fourteen years of age. With reference to
ffltolMo. be himself is reported to have
la d'od, the Father of the world, and Jesus
Cl A SS5.I tie right hand of Hi.
rather."
Jc-senh Smith was commanded to go forth and
tetitify of this to the nations of tbe eartn.
Angels also appeared to Joseph tn inese eariy
days of his career. By them he was comroi
. J . ..... . i i e 1
monen to estaonsu vne aingaom epuaen ui uj
Daniel in tbe following passage of Scripture:
"And in the days ol these Kings snau ine uoa
of Heaven set up a kingdom which shall not be
destroyed, and the kingdom shall not be lelt to
other people, but it shall break in pieces and
consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand
fnnver.m Daniel. II.. 44.
To this same kingdom Christ referred when
He taught His disciples to pray "Thy king- '
dom come."
The speaker then described the image seen by
Kin if Nebuchadnezzar, with head of tine gold,
body ol silver and brass, and toes of Iron and
clay. It is during the destruction of the ten
kingdoms, represented by the ten toes of this
image, that the kingdom of the Latter Day
Saints Is to be established.
The speaker then exclaimed, with a fierce
attempt at emphasis, which was not altogether
wltbeut success: "Look at that mere boy declar
ing to the world his visions.and proclaiming that
he had been commissioned to set up this king
dom, which should triumph over all the other
kingdoms of tbe earth I"
Up to the establishment of the Church, in
April, 1830, when Josepn was twenty-one years
old, angels continued repeatedly to administer
to him, revealing hidden things, and giving
him endowments for the accomplishment of his
purpose. At first he had but six disciples, and
tour of these were members of his own house
hold. But not doubting his success, he ex
claimed: 'The gospel of this kingdom, which
I and my six brethren have established in a
letter-room, shall go tnto all tbe nations of the
earth for a witness, and tben the end shall
come."
How Joe Smith Fulfilled His Owl Pro
phecies. It is an easy matter, said the speaker, to de
clare this; but it is another thing to fulfil it.
It any of you (addressing his audience) were to
declare it, something more than you would be
necessary to secure its fulfilment. These boys
commenced to preach in the simplicity of their
hearts. They were young, uneducated, and
unable to compete with the wisdom of the
world. Old and wise men are the ones to suc
ceed in deceiving mankind, and not mere boys.
Said Joseph, "If you will do the work of God.
believe on my testimony, repent of your sins,
and submit to the laying on of hands, and you
will have your own witness in signs which do
fellow the believer."
The speaker declared that he did not believe
in the Book of ilormou because Joseph Smith
said it was true, but because its truth was so
evident to him that it had become a part of his
very being. He had seen many things to con
vince bim of its truth, such as tbe healing of
the sick and blind, and other wonderful mani
festations of power which he could not account
lor in any way, althoueh he had earnestly striven
to do so. Ho knew all this, for he had seen it
himself. ...
Uomt the Salnta Have Prospered In These
Latter Days.
The Church established by Joseph Smith grew
in numbers, and was driven by mob violence
irom one place to another, until it was finally
located in a city in Illinois. And in fulfilment
ot the prophecy, tbe Gospel has already been
preached by the Latter Day Saints to nearly
every nation in the "olo hearth." Another pro
phecy has likewise been fulfilled, for the Church
in Utah is made up of people gathered from the
four quarters of the world.
When Joseph Smith and his disciples com
menced their preaching-, emigration was not
what it now is. Mormonlim, In fact, inaugu
rated tbe movement In England. It seemed as
ridiculous there to propose emigration to Ame
rica as to ask the people to sever all their family
ties and go to tbe moon. Eighteen years ago it
was an easy matter to persuade the people of
England to believe in the doctrines of Mormon
ism, because tbey could see for themselves that
they were all founded on the Bible, and were
satisfied by miracles and other wonders of their
(ruth. But it was a difficult thing at that time
to approach the subject ot going to a country as
far off as America; for emigration was young
then, and there was no Atlantic cable. (Sen
sation.) Buchanan's Wrath.
The speaker declared that It was the marvel
of this nation and of the whole world, that the
Churcb of Latter Day Saints should succeed as
it had, with such great pretensions. It has, In
fact, become tbe problem of the age. President
tucuanan and his Congress, backed up by the
whole force ot the people of the United States,
attempted to solve this problem.
The speaker here prepared to quote some
poelry, and we naturally expected to hear him
pronounce ihe once familiar lines:
-Of Brtrbara Young, tbe llormon King,
And great Buchanan's wrath, I ling."
But, instead of that, he quoted from an old
copy of the New York Tribune the denunciations
which it levelled at the devoted foe of Mor
monu.ni, comparing bis nrreat Utah expedition
to that of the King of France who,
with lorty thousand men,
Marched up a bill, and then marched down avain."
How Many Saints there are In These
Latter Uaye.
Buchanan and the rest of the world having
failed to solve the problem, the speaker pro
ceeded to show how the Elders of the tre Church
bad attempted to solve it in God's way, and how
God had prevailed. There are now, be said.
300,000 converts in dlflereut parts of the world.
There are many tn England, Scotland, Wales,
and Scandinavia, and a few even in Ireland.
England has, by the Church of tbe Latter Day
Saints, been put under a more complete organi
zation than by any other Church whatever. By
the mwe lifting of the tinger at the Presidency
in Liverpool, the whole mission will move to
the accomplishment of the indicated task. If
so commanded, it would ' emigrate simulta
neously, as in one body, to the United States.
Tbe speaker then dwelt upon the great perse
cutions which the Church had undergone. He
spoke feelingly of the death of Joseph Smith,
but reminded nis hearers of the tact that "ihe
blood of the mart.vrs is the eeed of the Church."
Since his death the Church has increased ten-
ioio, ana ooin America ana nmgia.ua nave been
greatly moved by its progress. .
The Wonderful Career of Elder Wilfred
Woodruff,
in Herefordshire, England, was then narrated.
He went there, a stranger, in 1839, and in six
months that one man baptized forty or fifty
ministers, established forty or fifty preachiug
places, built up forty or fifty churches, and con
verted to the true faith about one thousand peo
ple! He found a branch of the Jdetbodist
unuicu -wnicn naa split otrrrom th main body,
on account of some dissatisfaction, and this, in
cluding ministers, members, and chapels, he
swept in a body Into tbe Church of Latter Day
Saints. On one occasion, he encountered by thn
wayside two ministers in a carriage. He
stopped them and began to preach, and before
he parted from them both Jbad been converted
and baptized.
The Task Accomplished by the Saints In
theee Latter Days.
This task, the speaker thought, was a great
one. If the whole doodIs nf iim TTr.tt i Miuin
leaving God entirely out of this question, should
undertake to establish the restitution of tbe
kingdom spoken of by Daniel, It would be a
great thing; but look at the work of this boy
Joseph!
Tba speaker then informed the audience that
lie w as one of six thousand disciples sent out to
preach the gospel to all the nations of the
''hearth." Tbey sold their farms, and took no
scrip In their pockets, bat made their way along
as best they could. And though he must leave
them after' another week had passed, thev were
coming again in multitudes, to cry out to this
nation, to awake it, and to preach the jrospel
until all shall have heard. And if this nation
has been shaken In the past, how shall it be
shaken in the future 1
A Warning to Gentiles and other Repro
bate. -
In the Church of the Latter Day Saints there
is no such a thing as lay membership. Every
member of it deems it his duty to take part in
promulgating the true faith. As the result, the
nations shall know that God called that boy
Joseph Smith to do a wonderful work.

these things. If you rclect them.tou are ac

In fighting against God, we must leave you in
His bands. The world has had a long expe
rience in the rise and fall of empires: but it has
not yet solved the problem of establishing an
enduring kingdom of righteousness upon the
eartn. jehovan nas unacriaxen to soive mis

to whom it was promised.
The speaker then closed, with an earnest ex
hortation that bis hearers might seek to know
whether or not. these things are true; aud if
true, to accept and act upon them without
delay.
On the Way to Utah.
After the sermon was concluded, the black
wh'ekered man again appeared, declaring that
he was this tar on his way to Utah, which he
expected to reach sometime next spring. He
had been a travelling elder of the Mormon
Thin eh in Hint land lor twelve vears. and had
been mobbed and persecuted in all manner of
ways. He had even been hungry. But he had
seennotblng in the Church that was not rood
and virtuous aud hennobling. But he had not
been in Utah yet. (Perhaps when he arrives
there he vriil see something that is not "good,
virtuous, and hennobling.")
The exercises were then brought to a close by
the slnglnsr ot a hymn, which promfsed the all
sufficient grace ol God to tbe Saints of the Lord,
in all their troubles, afflictions, and persecu
tions. FINANCE AND COMMERCE.

LATEST EMOrEM NEWS.
THE EMPRESS 07 MEXICO,
Carlotta Bald to t Iasane-IIr Brother
Saramoned to Home.
From ih4 Avtnir National, October 9,
Two days ago we had received very sad news
as to the mental state of the Empress of Mexico;
but althoueh the source from which we received
H was trustworthy, we were unwilling to credit
it. At present silence Is no longer permissible.
At first her state of mind was attributed to elm
ply to nervous excitement, caused by anxiety
and disappointment, but accesses more and
more frequent leave no doubt as to the terrible
malady, and give no hope of cure. The Count
de F I and res has been summoned to Rome, where
be Is now witnessing this lugubrious and dra
matic episode of an enterprise which has pro
duced nothing but disasters.
The Pope Hands Her Over to the Doctors
Farit Correspondence of London Dai 2?coi.
Tbe insanity of the Empress of Mexico, now
(in spite of a contradiction ef the afrts not per
sisted in) universally spoken of, appeared in the
form of a belief that there was a conspiracy to
poison her, atd that her life would only be safe
under the personal protection of the Pope. This
explains her journey to Rome; and there her
madness broke out la a manner so contrary to
Papal etiquette that the Iloly Father was lorced
to band her over to the mad doctors.
Singular Conduct of the Empress at the
Vatican.
Home Oct. 2) Correspondenee Lyons Saint Public.
The Empress of Mexico Is the sub)ect of much
conversation here. Yertesday morning at 8,
without having requested audience, she pre-
geuieu nerseii at tne v attcan to see tbe Holy
Father. She was Immediately received, and it
is said she prerented a petition to the Pope
praying his Holiness to sanction everything
that her husband had done as Emperor with
respect to religious matters. The story goes
that the Pope positively refused, and that Ihe
Empress men declared sue would not leave the
Vatican If her request was not granted.
Further Confirmations as to Her In
sanityDisappointed Hopes the Cause.
From the London Daily Aeu, October 10.
The Jifonde, a journal likely to be well in
formed In such a case, observes:
A day or two klnce we received a melancholy
statement respecting the Empress of Mexico,
to which we hesitated to give credence. Our
pilvate letters Irom Rome unhapp.ly leave no
doubt on the subject. The reason ot her Ma
jesty has given way under the shock caused by
so many hopes suddenly disappointed.
I cannot guarantee the authenticity of all this;
but it is certain the Empress did not quit the
Vatican until 6 o'clock in tbe evening. 9ho
retired to the private study of the Pope, and his
Holiuess continued bin nrdinnru aiiAipnpoa. ha
afterwards dined alone, according to etiquette,
and went out to hU usual drive, leaving the
Empress with her lady in waiting. She at
length lelt and dined at the Hotel de Rome,
where her Majesty is staying. In consequence
of this incident a rumor has got abroad tbat
her reason is impaired, and we know beyond
any doubt that Professor Viale, the Pope's
medical attendant, scarcely leaves her.
A Paris letter in the Independance, of Brus
sels, announces that Dr Blanche, sowellknon
for his treatment of mental oisea-.es, has been
sent for to Rome to attend to the Empress; and
the Hord, in mentioning the rumor, remarks
that "thestatpmeut made bytbe Journal de Liege,
that the Empress Charlotte will not be able to
visit Brussels on the anniversary of the death
of Queen Louise, seems to confirm the reports
tn circulation."
The clerical journals of France sec something
awful in the coincidence of tbe Empress of
Mexico's insaDity with her visit to tbe Pope for
me purpose ot oDtainiDg conditions which they
consider irreconcilable with the rights ot the
Church. The Atentr Nutionat thinks It mockery
to suppose tbat a judgment of this kind has
been parsed on an unhappy princess becaube
she has asked of the Court of Rome that which
it has granted to France, Spuin, Austria, and
several other countries.
Latest Despatch The Mental Crisis Sub
siding. Brussels, Oct. 9. The Kcho au Farlement of
this evening, writing on the subject of the
health of the Fmpress Charlotte, says: "News
received here from Rome states that the mental
crisis has greatly subfided. Her Majesty has
been enabled to undertake the journey to Mira
nlar, accompanied by the Count of Flanders."
The Paris Races Gladiateur the Winner
of the tiraud Prix de l'Kmpereur.
From the London Time's, October 9.
The concluding day of the Paris Rices for this
season waa held on Sunday last, and the weather
being very fine the attendance was equal to that
at the spring meetings. The race of the day was
the Grand Prix de l Empereur, for which Gladia
teur made his appeal ance.
previous to tne start lor this race a larre riug
w as formed round Gladiateur while the process
of saddling was being performed, and certainly
the horse was in splendid condition, and his
owner and trainer had reason to be proud of
him when he walked round the inclosure. Tbe
topic of conversation was the sad accident that
happened to his jockey, Harry Grimshaw, as he
had ridden this hone for rll his races except
this one.
The Prix de St. Cloud, the concluding race of
the day, was remarkable for being won by the
steeplechase mate Astrolabe, who, tt may be
remembered, was backed tor -so much money
last for the Omnium, but the distance on this
occasion, being two miles and a half, suited her
better. The Prix de Chevilly brought up the
old custom of heat races,. and Le Sloulet, who
was a much better class of horse tban any of his
opponents, won both heats in a canter. The
ground was In very good going order.

Shocking Murder.
IIartfobd. Oct 19. A shocking murder was
perpetrated in West Hartford on Saturday night.
The victim was a Mr. Julius Thompson, a bach
elor, forty years of age, who lived with his
mother aud sister, on the road leading to Tal-
cott Mountain. Between seven and eight o'clock
a young man called at the house, and requested
Mr. Thompson to assist him, as his watron bad
broken down. Mr. Thompson went out with the
stranger, aud was found by his street gate about
an hour afterwards, under a tree on the highway,
brutally murdered. His skull was broken open
with some instrument or club. No arrests, as
yet, have been made, but our Hartford police
are on the track of the supposed murderer. A
suspicious character has been seen for several
days hanging about the village, and is sun
posed to be the murderer. Robbery was the
probable eause, 'as Mr. Thompson had some
money atd bonds tn the house.

mornina began tbe Oyer and Terminer session tor
this term. At an early hoar this mornina; the
court-room was well tilled. Many ol those present
were the Jurors who have been summoned to at'
tend during tbe remainder of the tsrm, tbe service
ot the first lot having expired on Thursday last. A
large number or witnesses were also present, to
gether with the relatives and friends ot tbe unfor
tunates who are charged with the fearful crimes of
murder and manslaughter. Ihe remainder ot the
audiente was made up of Bpeota ors, idle, bat
carious to oaten a glimpse of the mon whose names
have been paiadcd be lore tbe public in oonneotion
with dteds of blood, and to hearths reiwltoi their
trials.
lie first case called waa that of William L?ary.
His counsel denb.a the right of tbe Commonwealth
to procet d witn the trial of the prisoner on this In
diotment. By their own ladies, the time allowed by
the law tor nis trial nas a ready passed: ana l sub
mit to your honors that the prisoner, having been
once discharged irom ca-toay, cannot be rearrested
except upon a new complaint, supported by
ainuavit.
the District Attorney maintained that tbe ques
tion before the Court was coneerning the arraign
ment ol the prisoner.
1 he coudsoi ot the prisoner, desiring that bis oase
might be placed right upon the record, desired to
apply lor his discharge, on tbe ground tbat two fml
terms bad elapsed since the committal of the pri
soner npon the present indiotment,
Ine District Attorney agreed to this arranremont,
and the prisoner was thereupon released from tbe
aock. Ibe District Attorney further staled tbat the
late prisoner could not be kopt in prison to await his
trial, unless something should ocour to warrant it.
It is now in order to grant him a speedy trial, and
we are going to do it.
1 be Court said, that as two terms had elapsed
since the committal ot tbe defendant, who bad
made no application for a oontinuanett, there was
no iofflcieni reason why he should be kept In cm
tody. What effect this discharge may have upon
theoontroi to be exeieistd over him is a separate
and independent question. If he Is in oourt aud
answers to tbe inuictmtnt, tbe District attorney
proposes to prooeed with the tria'. We do not in
tend, however, to control this defendant. He is at
liberty to go in and out ot court as he may thinx
proper. We can see notllfficulty in the trial pro
gressing under these terras.
Ihe counsel for the defendant then stated that he
thoupLt it his doty not to pload to the indictment

IMS) TBLXOBAPH.i
A large and attentive audience assembled last
evening at tho Second Congregational Church,
Eleventh and Wood streets, to listen to Dr.
Stnilej's inaugural address to the young men
and women of America. After the preliminary
exercises, the eloquent divine came forward and
spoke as follows:
We propose to commence to-night a series of
tome halt a-dozen discourses whicn we proposo.
to address to the youth of America. In unfold- -ing
tbese discourses, we propose that the first '
three or four shall be upon topics that are not
ordinarily introduced into the pulpit a little
more secular than tboee that are ordinarily in
troduced, especially on tbe Sabbath; each in the
main, if possible, to be an address to the con
science. It certainly cannot be wron.
We will pursue this subject on next Sabbath,
night and on the one succeeding. Wo wish to
explain why Providence has placed the Rooky '
Mountains where they are, and the Alleghemea
where tbey are, and the mighty range of the-
Cordilleias where they are.- We design, In this
series ot discourses, to unfold, so lar aa we
may, the Divine design as indicated In this mat
ter. On next Sabbath morning, by special
request, we will preach a discourse from the '
text, "Blessed are tbe pure in heart, for they
shall see God."
Tbis world was made for man, not man for the
world.
Ilence, the Divine Artiflcor had for thousands
of years prior to man's creation, prior to the
advent of man, been fitting up this world with
direct reference to tbe hour of his creation: ha4
been collecting materials, arranging it ior a
home, gracing it with beauty, surrounding it with,
ten thousand things that were calculated, ox that
should be calculated, to add unseem loy to his
heart. Hence He crowed it with light, paved
tt with verdure, decked it with blossom, voiced
it with mildew. There was sound tn the gale;
there w as fragrance in the Mower; aweet scent
in the air; soft hue for the eye f and all tbis waa
but the fitting up, indicating the arrival of aa
expected guest
If there was an intelligent being looking down
upon the unfoldment of the plastic power of the
creative hand In this world, he must have rea
soned that that beautiful temple Is being fitted
up for tbe worshipper; and so -it was. It waa
aU stately, all beautiful, all glorious. Light
was flashing, but there was no eye to see. The .
sor.g birds were carrolling, but there was no
ear to drink in their mupie. Treasures were
abundant, but there was nahand to take them up.
The mountains and hills were all garnered up,
but there was no band to push aside tbe rub
bish, and bring forth their precious treasure?.
One being was wanted to erown the whole,
and tbe Divine Being is represented as Intro
ducing this beiDg into his gorgeous Alhambra
with a magnificent form. I know of nothing in
the whole compass ot man's bitorr, save the
death upon the cross, that speaks so loftily of
man's ability, as the fact that the counsel ofjthe
eternal world held a consultation, and tbe being ,
that is Introduced into this world is represented
as being introduced as the result of that con
sultationinspired by the inbreathing of the
Godhead.
Let us make the Adam in our image, after our
likeness. So the Lord breathed Into the Adam,
the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
Now there was a correlation between the being;
that was thus introduced and the world into
which he was introduced. There was a harmony
between tbe temple and the worshipper. And
from the harmony of these relationships, the
design of tbe Divine Being might have been
inteipteted.
And now, what is Providence but the nn fold
ing, tbe evolution, or carrying outof the Divine
design in reference to mau? This is what we
call Providence: God carryiug out His mighty
- plans and purposes.
It is true, indeed, that it is not often in the
I history of the Divine Beinq (Divine Providence)
i that He comes out plainly. It is not often that
i we see Him walking forth with Hie forked light
' niugs and His sandals of flame, and yet He nas
been thus seen, 'mere tne iron swims in tne
water like cork. Tuere the water proves firm
as adamant, and bends not beneath the footstep;
and there in the fiery furnace is a faith only
seen like unto tbe Son of God, and jou hear
the song going up from it
Ordinarily tne Divine Being walks invisible in
His Providence on the globe tbat He has
formed. Ih the language of Job, "He holdcth
the face of His throne, but spreadeth His cloud
upon it." Although sometimes we seem to think
His footsteps are slow and tardy, and the cry
goes up from the patient suffererer, How long,
0 Lord f Why are the chariot wheels of the
klvg so slow in their progress, that they seem,
to have a retrograde movement? Yet Provi
dence is always and everywhere on the onward
march towards order, ana unity, and perfection,
and life.
It is true, indeed, that His footsteps are some
times slow. Ages are needed tor the mighty
evolution. Providence is slow but sure. There
is an old proverb-in regard to the punishment
of transgressors. "The m'lls of grind going
slow, but they grind to powder."
Providence moves through time as if It were
eternity. Indeed, time is nothing to an eternal
being. One day with the Lord is as a thousand
years, and a thousand years is as onejiay: but
tbat which endures conquers at last. Therefore,
the kingdom will come, and the whole earth be
subdued to God. . .,,
The movements of Providence, looking
at the succersive developments of human
civilization, are not restricted to narrow
bounds. It is not'anxious to deduce to-day tbe
consequence of ibe premises laid down yester.
pay. It may defer tor ases, until the fullness of
time shall come. Its logic will not be the less
conclusive lor reasoning slowly. Providence
may have been committed through time as the
gods of Homer through spuce. It makes a step, ,
and ages have to wear away. .
How long a time? How many suns! How
many circumstance', before the regeneration of
the moral powers of man by careful exercise of
