You will notice how David exhausts' the name and char, acter of God here and (•ldewhive, and ask "What is it in the character of the Eternal One that, thus called .forth; the love and admiration of David, and challenges us to do the same 1" Scattered through this wonderful Book—the Bible—there is much seen of the characteristics to Blake us love and adore Him. Isaiah describes Him as a being sittingon the circles of the earth Job, as be that inhabiteth ,the cir- cles of heaven, etc. Those concep• tions are grand and beautiful, all of them, and may well charm a seraph, ,but „there is little iu them to elicit our sympathy and admiration When in trouble. Nothing but pity is of any avail, then. \Ve know what it . is to have a father, and e1t around the family circle, and it is only when we consider God as our father that We can have a tangible ,:•onception of what He is tri us, It is the pity of God that spans the vastness of space and brings Him down to earth to ameliorate the., sufferings of human heillgs, He is the God of the widow, of the fatherless, of the orphan,'and His feet move swift for .the comfort of all dovn•trodden mankind. This is the God of all Free acid Accepted Masons, and this"God ,must he recognized before a man may become a true Mason. We aio only true nia'nibet's of the Craft as we okey and love this God. lie then proceeded to picture sonic of the great principles of 1111asoury, which appeal to the sympathies of men. First, there is the attractives nese of antiquity. God has so cons structed us that we are inspired by anything that has had its root in the distant past. As an example of this lie' he referred to a visit to Westminister Abbey, end a walk through its ancient halls, and under ire massive arches ; and to the ocean, which is more ancient than the wbite•winged slilps of Tarsus, or the oldest mausof.war. And yet the ocean is young when compared with Hitn in whom you, as Masons, re, poen your trust. 'Ho is tho Ancient of Days, and from His heart end hand come everything that is. Free Masonry is as old as Gori Himself. Then, there is the sublime mystery of Masonry, There are those pre', sent who have, never been behind the cul talo, and it is their, ettseepti- hulity to know what it is that tmrkes Masonry so noble. It is full of leysteries, but they aro not wyster- ire of hell and iniquity, as some would have you believe. There is au abyss of wonder in the idled, iu life, in the growth of habit and �cbat-actor, amid which the noblest and most scientific would lose his way. With ignoble deeds of dark. ut•ss the Craft has uothiug to do. True, some persons have wormed themselves into the fraternal fellow- ship, but this may be expected in every Brotherhood. As well might we denounce the Church of Christ —for it has harbored unwittingly many hypocrites—as denounce Mas- onry on this account. There is no perfection to be found this side of heaven. Christ tells us that the taros shall grow together with the wheat. He who is a true Mason need not he ashamed of the 4ongue of slander, nor of what he dues. Tho rev. gentleman next emphasized the self•guvering principle which Masonry inculeetes. "Better is he who doverueth his own house, than he who taketh a city," is the utter - enol UL.tJle wittest man that ever lived. The priciples taught by the Compass and Squaree-were also touched upon. Masonry calls upon teen to r reef a temple of manhood, and make that shrine resplendent before God.

Andrew Carnegie, an American citizen of Scottish birth, has been regaling the people of Edinburgh with rt'luinacences of the condition of the workingmen in the old and th'c Ili440 world, bluest to the (Used - van Loge of the ,.former. Judge EIliot•t, of London, Ont.,- who is in the old eouutry ,lint now, has writ• tills r: letter to the press, showing, that social conditions are not the s•ln1e in Groat Britain as they were fifty years ago, and that the pro- gress there has been equally as great as it has been in the United States. The letter appears iii the Edit.burgli Scotsman :- - Falkirk, July 9, 1887. S111,—It is a very ungracious task even to criticise the remarks recent. ly made by Mr. Carnegie at Edin- burg at -what is termed the Work-, ing Men's Demonstration.: Tho man . who ;has given £50,000 to found a Free Library in that city, and who has done many other muni- ficent acts of generosity, is entitled to a meed of commendation sufficient to blunt . the arrow of censure. Nevertheless there are some obser- vations to which Mr.learnegie gave utterance, which `I feel impelled to say were not only unnecessary, but also unfair.. Mr. Carnegie has been an extremely fortunate man. IIe is naturally . proud of the coun- try acrose the Atlantic,, in which, by his,own individual talent and enterprise, he has gained such a distinguished position. Still I do not think he is entitled to speak in such exhalted terms of the super- iority of the insituations of the 'United States over those'which pre vail in Scotland, his native land. It may appear invidious to call in question the correctness of his con. elusions. Yet, as one who left Bri- over half a century since to reside in the United States, and who has since resided partially there, but chiefly in Canada, where socially the Baum democratic spirit ,prevails, I will venture Tto refer to a few points wherein I think Mr. Car- negie's remarks before the working- men are ippon to observation and correction. , He says, "When 1 con- sider the position of labor in this country only one century ago, what do I find 1 Why, fellow work- men, wo were serfs of the soil. Not far from where I was born the estates passed to this lord and that lord ; to that dissolute peer and this infamous scoundrel. They sold my father's and sold yours." - Whether td,ie is within • the strict line of truth or not, I shall not atop to enquire. But Mr. Carnegie omitted to tell bis andienee that within aspace of twentyetbree years six million of laboring men{.in the United ft3tates under Democratic rule were worse than serfs ; they were slaves, bought and sold like cattle, robbed of the fruits of their labor, flogged and scourged at file will of their owners, rythlestsly separated from fathers, mothers, and children, and deprived of every privi- lege which a freeman can value. So it is not necessary to go back 100 years to tell the workingmen what was once their condition in Scotland and draw a comparison between that condition under mouarebical rule, and the superiority of American institutions. It is true the wicked system of slavery is abolished in America. So it is abolished under British rule, but front far more dis- h:tested motives. The public feel- ing in Britain revolted at such wickedness, and out, of the taxpayer came the heavy contributions to ex -• tinguisli it. Mr. Lincoln's celebrated declarations that if slavery was nec- cessary for the preservation of the Union, slavery r;ould continue, but if the extinguishing of slavery was necessary for the preservation of the Union, slavery must perish, shows that it was from Motives of expedi• envy, not from the exalted motives of humanity, that slavery met its sleety in the United States. Mr. Carnegie tells his lreurers that Communism will find 110 t:neUt:de 1n the united States. Con:muuiou and Anarchism are almost synonymous terms, and in Chicago snore then a year since these Anarchists by means of bombs thrown among law- abiding citizens, cruelly murdered several people. These •wretches were tried and found guilty, and sentenced tb be hanged. Have they been hanged 1 No, indeed ; and why hecause the law's delay,, purchased doubtless at great ex• pease, enabled thein to live in deli• auto of their st: ,teuce, and front what' L can learn the end will be their liberation. If lut.nit'y were g i'I tl ';11iy until 111 titre l.Jlli.teti States for gem -roue- par) o -es, it would be well, Butt looney Is used there ti, purchase appeals from court to court by which villains evade their proper doom, unless, ptvcluutcc', i1 he in the case of the unfortunate colored I.00- ple or the Chinese, the result being that recourse is had to the dangerous rule of lynch law. I Will not occupy your spaces . I.y-fu-rther reference to the remarks of Mr. Carnegie, al- though.there are several other points to which 1 would like to refer, \Vhat 1 wish to bring out specially is 1110 unqualified approbation he be stows on the Ameripan Democracy, and the censure he metes out won British institutions. Surely al 44 could have told his hearers So1110 of the shortcomings of liis favorite 1)entocracy. Ile might have tole thein that if a British subject were to go to the United States and tell the Democracy there that British institutions were vastly superior, he would meet with a reeeptio,r 11liclr would be theTeverse of encouraging. On the 21st June, a number of poo pie of Bt itish birth desired to. cole- )'rlkte.the Queen's jubilee in a quite way in the.. Faueul• Iiall in the city of Boston. At the very mention of such a thing there was an outcry of. hostility, and 11,000 people were computed to have assembled 'to de. nounce such a celebration. But Americans and Mr. Carnegie can come to Britain and preach the doctrine of American superiority with impunity, end indeed they are welcome. It is verq.'misleading to suppose that a workingman in rho United States is always a happy moon„ or that by reason of their political in- stitutions workingmen can hew for themselves a position they cannot hope to attain in Scotland. I say by reason of their political institu- tions, I do not say that the extent of the United States and the facility for procuring lend, do not confer supsrior advantages, hut these arise from physical causes, • incident to a a new and partially s'ertlikil country, and not from politital influences. I wish it were true that, the working. :nen .in Aulerica were universally in a superior condition to tint which they occupy in Britain. But go in- to Pennsylvania, to the coal alines there, and you will find hundreds of uriners there from Britain who will express their preference for the condition they formerly occupied in the latter country. In conclusion, money is the in- strument by which to purchase privi• leges in America. The Courts are open to all ; but woe to him who, with an empty purse, enters into a conflict with the ringsof speculators; or the railway combinations which are so potent there. To institute• a fair comparison between the politic cal conditions and institutions of Britain and those of America would require a fuller and fairer considera- tion than Mr. Carnegie has bestowed upon the subject in his remarks to the working men in Edinburgh.

It was such an extensive yawn that she dis- located her ,jaw and couldn't shut her mouth. In this condition she remaihed until the morning, when, with wide open jaws, she went t� Dr. Stark's office.

VERDICT OF TUE CORONi14 JURY— THE ENGINEER AND (ONDUCTOT4 CRIMINALLY NEOLIUrNT. The following verdict was render-' ed by the coroner's jury irupanneled to inqure into the cause of the St. Thomas accident : That the said Samuel 0. Zealand and child, Mrs. Swithors and child, Mrs. Frainu and child, Mrs. Baynes and three ehild- reu, came to their (loathe through the criminal negligence of Henry Donnelly, 'engineer, and Richard Spettigue, conductor of the ill-fated train. We, the jurymen impanel led to investigate the cause of the late terrible accident all July 15, by which many lives were lust and others severely injured and much valuable property destroyed, alter hearing evidence and carefully ex- amining the same, have concluded that the said accident is duo to the carelessness of officials and employes of the Grand 'Trunk railway com- pany in the following several ways : First—It is quite plain from the evidence adduced that the engineer was on that day at all events quite unfit for duty, as for iustauce the speed, at which he ran the train into the corporation of the city of St. Thomas without slacking at proper places ;!,:then the negligence of the conductor in not examining the air brakes before leaving the port, which had it been done, might have pre- vented the disaster 11•hich has brought such desolation into se many homes, and farther, had there been en inspector, as there ought to have been at the purl, such serious C01l13quencrs might have b0cu avoid cel.

Another point to which IVO would call attention is the practice of the officials of the company in not pro- viding sufficient. seating accommoda- tion for the people un excursion trains.
