pure and undefiled, is but little known and appreciated by those who profess to know their master's will; and the reformer, as his heart yearns for the amelioration of his kindred humanity, knows, that unless something more is done for the enlightenment of our race, than what has been done for ages past; that they must continue on, groping their way in ignorance, governed by their animal propensities, for ages [to come.

Those therefore who have seen the right way, and feel to deplore the present disordered state of things in society, must continue to labor, without hope of reward! Yes

"Men of thought! be up and stirring
Night and day;

Sow the seed-withdraw the curtain-
Clear the way!

Men of action, aid and cheer them,
As ye may !

There's a fount about to stream,

There's a light about to beam,

There's a warmth about to glow,

There's a flower about to blow;
There's a midnight blackness changing
Into gray;

Men of thought, and men of action,
CLEAR THE WAY!

Lo! a cloud's about to vanish
From the day:

Lo! the right's about to conquer,
Clear the way!

And a brazen wrong to crumble

Into clay.

With that right shall many more

Enter smiling at the door;
With the giant Wrong shall fall
Many others, great and small,
That for ages long have held us
For their prey;

Men of thought and men of action,
CLEAR THE WAY!

Once the welcome light has broken,
Who shall say

What the unimagined glories
Of the day?

What the evil that shall perish
In its ray?

Aid the dawning, tongue and pen;
Aid it, hopes of honest men;
Aid it paper-aid it type-
Aid it, for the hour is ripe,

And our earnest must not slacken
Into play;

Men of thought, and men of action, CLEAR THE WAY.

DISCOURSE, No. II.

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you: That ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."-Matthew, V: 43, 44, 45.

In the previous discourse, I endeavored to show the dreadful nature of WAR; the great amount of treasure to support it, and the destruction of christian principles wherever it is believed and enforced. I shall now attempt to prove that resistance with physical weapons, only tend to aggravate, and increase difficulties between individuals and nations; and that these weapons instead of being safe-guards, are directly the reverse; likewise, that moral power is superior to physical.

It may seem strange and novel to some, to be informed that it is the serious, earnest conviction of your speaker, that were all our enginery of

death, arsenals, forts, battle-ships, steel, gunpowder, cannon, &c., immediately destroyed, that we should be safer as a nation, than we are now with them. 1 fancy I hear the hearer say, he does not believe this.-Well friend, listen to me attentively, and I will give you the evidence that convinced me of the truthfulness of this position. If you cannot adopt my sentiments after weighing well my arguments, believe me, you will not be injured by a consideration of them.

And FIRST, resistance with physical weapons increase difficulties instead of allaying them.Need we pause a moment to consider a proposition so self-evident? Have not all the wars that have disgraced humanity, of greater or lesser magnitude, been produced by small physical means; such as unkind language, looks, actions, and a resort to murderous instruments, such as pirates and bad men use? Do not men who are naturally quarrelsome, find themselves very often injuring their fellows, for some affront given, or some supposed wrong inflicted upon them!Their being quarrelsome, draws others into the same fighting mood, and pushes friend after friend and neighbor after neighbor into difficulty. Did I want my son to fight with other mens' sons, I would send him forthwith to a boxing
