This a familiar argument in such cases; but an interval now of more than twenty years has yette, which he had delivered ten years before; but generally he gave a lecture prepared in the autumn on the war between France and Prussia, in which he treated the opening events, and passed a heavy judgment on Louis Napoleon, with a plea for sympathy for France now that her usurper was overthrown, and a protest against her dismemberment.

The address pointed as its moral that the war-system should be discarded, and the nations should disarm themselves. The New York Herald, Dec. 2, 1870, took exception to the idealism of the lecture. In 1870 he was stil

He said in the debate:— We send missionaries to the distant heathen, and there are annual contributions for that purpose,—wise contributions; but now the heathen come to us. Will you drive then back? Rather do them all the good you can,— convert them here on our own soil; but you cannot do this by any lesson of exclusion and inequality.
