He net ever-Hsngulne lioTero marrlaiu or

The ability te make an Interesting oil-hand
address is an accomplishment lu which
many men of education are deficient. Tbe
ressen, therefore, Is net lock of knowledge,
nor Is It want of general Inlormatlen. It Is
nothing mero nor less than the lalltire te
culltvate the talent when nt school or college.
There are very many men who make thorn thorn
selves tiepular at social gatherings by string
ing tegether a number of sentimental Ideas
Interspersed with an occasional witty tien tien
tence, all of which lias twen carefully studied
in advance, and, when slfted, is really moan mean
Ingless. These nre the men who pese as
graceful alter-dlnner speakers. There are
ethers who have the happy faculty of throw
ing togetheru number of adjective and ring
Ingln flotatiens from epular w rlters, who
ceme te bolnekeil upeuas ominent orators,
and whose sorvlees are lu constant demanil
during political campaigns. Take both these
classes and engagn them In conversation and
it will seen be m-eu hew superllclal Is thelr
oducatlen, hew limited thelr Information.
Te make an address oil-baud that has body
and soul, that will dellght an audience and
leave room for rellectlen, can be acquired by
any man of Intelligence who feels dlsisised
te apply himself te tbe task, for wtilln llm
tiepular Idea Is that such nu accomplishment
is a gilt, It is as much within the reach or the
man of ordinary oducatlen as were the Intrl Intrl
cate details of his profession or his business
which he se Hiicfesslully mastered. Men
who talk well and men who write well
should be uble te speak well when trailed
upon suddenly, because they bar, e In thorn
iiiouiuiuenis, which mereiy require cultiva
tion te be practically applied, There Is no
reason why the art of oratory should net be
made part el the common school curriculum
Just as much as any ethor branch of educa
tion, and ir the beglunlug ,wor'made when
the mind nnd volcearo pjlabla It would be
found that tlme would bring coutldence, and
maturing manhood would develop talon t.
In these days when every man regards It as
a duty te take teme part In public nllalrs,
when church and state are discussed at secln
as well as public gatherings, the ability te
make an etbhand spoech is an accomplish accemplish accomplish
ment which places the possessor lar above
his less iertuuate associates.

And her hair was long and curly.
And she swept all day, und she swept all night,

One day a lever came te her deer,
A handsome young man of twenty.fem ;

And he kneeled before heron the fleer,
As If he'd stay there for overuiore,
llut the maiden kept en weeping.
He kueltall day en the kitchen fleer,
And begged she'd love him rer oreruiero
(Why, he even did some weeping !)
Till the lair oue's wrath It waxed se sere
She swept her lever out of the deer.
And quickly resumed her sweeping.

And yes, she even began te weep.

no doubt, right In saying that, if the protinned

have cntionched HselTas the national church
of theso colonies as strongly as Congregation

various Hofermed dements could, at that
time, have been successfully consolidated.
Net te speak of miner differences In doctrlne
and cultiiH, the distinctions or nationality and
lHtiguage presented illlTlcultlrn which would
nave proven almost insurmountable.
During the colonial period the Dutch and
German ltofermotl churches were both con
nected with the synod of Helland ; but they
occupied illllerent territory, nnd did net
speak the same language, mi that there was
but llltle dlrrtt communication between
thorn. Since tbe Ugmniu ei the present
century they have maintained a pleasant oer-
(usiKiimmicu uy means in Delegates, ana at

which wn, however, destitutoef legislative
authority, and was mainly Intended te pro pre pro

Seteral attempts te ellect the organic union
of llie two bodies hate preved unsuccessful,
for reasons which need net here be rehearsed.
It Is hoped that tlie present movement In the

of thoillfllcultleser iermeryears have passed

though It may Mill l -e far distant as te
appear visionary, it is eminently doservlng
of our prayers nn.l hilsir. Great changes, It
should Imi romeiulxired, bae baken place
since this union wns brst suggested. The
question of language has lest its luiiertance,
and many loreign peculiarities hae disap

as It Is acc.pted, be a sjfe guhle for man. Ilut

litical oconemy as a uclonce. This has a
sphere of Its own. It relates te certain prob
lems el the body pelltla which must be
studled In the light of reasen. Kellglen, even
the truest and the best, will net make up for
Iho want et knewledge relating te this de
partment of political llfe. Even though all
men were Christians, the study and uses of
political economy would be no less required.
Man's llie must be doveloped in order that
the principles ortrue religion may leaven it
with Its spirit. Thore is no magical power
In Christianity te lntroduce a paradhalc con
dition or human society, but Its Inliueece
must have proper conditions for its exercise.
Thase conditions are the unfolding et human
life, both In its individual and social charac
ter. Ilut this unfolding Implies progress In
Intelligence, and the application of Intelli
gence in framing laws and regulations for
Uie social economy. Capital and labor must
work out a proper adjustment el their mu
tual rolatlens. These rolatlens depend en
given factor?, and theso factors must be
faithfully studied In erder te ascertain hew
they are mutually rotated.
The Influence of Christianity appears
mainly in the moral side of this question.
The liable does, indeed, incidentally threw
light upon the Intellectual aspect of the sub
ject, but this Is only secondary aa cempared
with Its Influence In the moral sphera And
the main dllhculty In finding an adjustment
e! capital and labor lles, net in the want of
intelligence, but in the lack of aright spirit,
errlght morality. If capitalists and laborers
were Inlluenced by right principles morally
the problem would be comparatively easy of
solution -, but still there would be the same
necessity for studying the problem theoretic
ally in the light et reason.
The mistake, en the ether hand, of these
who teach that all tbe evils et society will
disappear when the principles or sociology
have been inly discovered and reduced te a
science, lies in the ract that tbey ovorleok tiie
moral element. Men may knew the right

Just hore It Is that Christianity cemes In as a

Religion re pilres education as Its hand
maid. Thore are vast moral ferces at work in the
social economy that need te Is) carefully
studied. They are all subject te regular
laws, just as certain and fixed as these that
govern the physical universe. With the
tapld progress or the natural Btiences there Is
an Increasing demand for a scientific study
of the se. lal order et human life. This Is
only beginning te receive the attention it ro re ro
qiiires. Meral scionce Is Incomplete without
Including what may be denominated t-eclal
ethics.
Secial science, until of recent times, was
confined mainly, if net entirely, te political
economy, Kv en that, It was felt, hardly pos

science Hut a great change has taken place
In later years, in releronce te the study et the
social economy. Man's social nature is com
ing te be studied new as embracing certxln
llxed laws just as really as his individual and
personal existence. As there is a science el
physiology and psychology, se society as an
organism is viewed ns being net merely an
aggregation of individuals, but an economy
that carries In It possibilities and pre-deter-mlnatien,
Just as really as thn formative
principles el the oak troe exist lu the acorn.
These principles are mere and mere studied,
and in that degree the social life is better un
