Prof. L. S. Laurie, of the University of Edin­ cy of Pentecost. The 25th day of June, 1530, was called by burgh, says: “I am well aware that the eminent historians, one of the greatest days in human men who have left their mark on the education history. It was the greatest day of the Refor­ of the past have owed their iufiuence mainly to mation, and one among the greatest among man­ some jirofonml religious or moral impulse.”— Then he goes on to show that even where this kind. in the chapel of the Palatine palace at Augs­ impulse has been wanting, an effort has always burg were gathered the adherentsof the pure re been made to supply its place by some sort of ligion; they were to appear before the most pow­ manufactured enthusiasm. And m summing up erful emperor of that age, or any other age.— bis ideas, he uses this remarkable language: They were to defend a cause for which armies “Of this we may be assured i that Ii la impossible had been put to the sword and the torch for de­ to sustain moral instruction at a high level, or fending.

But there it stood in its Sur- passing beauty—cold, lifeless, conscienceless, heartless marble.

Sowith all her culture, it was grami ami complete aud forcible iu some respects; along some lines the Attienimi mind is vet unsurpassed, and some poiuts in her mental drill may challenge the ad­ miration of ages yet to come ; but the chill ot marble was upon it. It needed to look up to heaven iu juayer that a great moral impulse might be infused into it ; that a pure spiritual life might course through her veins. Since the age of Christianity most colleges aud universities have been more or hss penetrated with the Spirit under whose dispensation we live, and the cheering effects are pateuttoall ob­ servers. No doubt the great advances already made bv the onrushiug of these peutecostal forees through history, planting anil elevating great centres or learning; extending ami puri­ fying civilization ; and these great npreaehiiigs after true manlmod, are only «'arnests of the tri­ umphs vet to come. Blind ¡is some peoph' are to tlie fact, tins ¡ige is fraught with the powers of the risen Christ; allupami down th«1 earth are being heard tin fooffalls of promises fultill- cil to him by the Father. This « «lilicc now be­ ing net apart to its mission of light is simply an­ other star in the galaxy of Christ's glory which has been dereed should till tin earth. My friends, fear not those scholars and educa- tors’v. ho seem to think that everything ortho­ dox and Biliical must be cither pushed aside or trampled ttmler foot. Their effort is like Jonah’s gounl, it promises much; it must have its brief hour; but it will surely wither before the vehe­ ment east wind of thè Spirit who has planted knowledge in the earth liy His own right band. That training that is without God is also with­ out hope in the world. The ages will come, more ami more, to see the stupidity of that sci­ ence which leaves out the God of science. For­ cibly is the all-important lesson being taught, ami swiftly is it b< ing learned, that piety docs uot argue a feeble capacity. And more fully and more grandly is the lesson being learned tluit ".revelation is the great strengthener of reason, that the march of mind which leaves the Bible in the rear is an advance, like that of our first parents in Paradise, towards knowledge, but at the same time towards death.” There is an advance step to be taken by schol­ ars and teachers, and especially by colleges and universities, for they teach the teachers. That step will be to give more prominence to the Spirit of God in teaching, developing mind ami forming character. When every class-room be­ comes a temple lor the Holy Ghost, we may ex­ pect speedily to see the nations of the earth ren­ ovated. This irill be an advance; not to rille and legislate God out of history and out of hu­ man affairs, but to bring Him closer to the af­ fairs and the hearts of humanity. Some think­ ers are raking this advanced step, and are recog­ nizing the power of God over mind as well as matter. A prominent teacher in speaking of men who have lmd most to do with »Imping the world for goo«l, says: “They lielievcd that they could know some­ thing of the character of God, and that they might reasonably aspire to grow in likeness to that character. This belief has been the root out of which has grown, I will not sav all, but certainly much of the finest flower ot morality that has bloomed on earth.” But while almost all Christian teachers admit tlie eftect of the religious element on character, they are not united iu admitting that the intellect is also gainer. Yet, this is an advanced step which should be taken. In speaking of the influence of the Spirit upon fallen humanity, Frederick W. Robertson says: “Just as if the temperature of this northern hemisphere were raised suddenly, ami a miglitv tropical river were to pour its fertilizing inun­ dation over the country, the result wouhl be the impartation of a vigorous and gigantic growth to the vegetation already in evixtence, and at the same time the development of life in seeds and germs which had long lain latent in the soil incapable of vegetation in the unkindly climate of their birth. Exactly in the same way, the flood of a divine life, poured suddenly into the souls of men, enlarged and ennobled qualities which bail been used already, and at the same time developed powers which never could hav< become apparent in th«' cold, low temperature of natural life. Can we suppose that such a marvelous change can take pia«'«' and the intellect not be sensibly effected by it? To do so wouhl be to place too low an estimate upon that grandest a nd most far- reaching of all the work which God does for the souls of men : That of regeneration. But upon this somewhat difficult point I will be content with giving vou the words of the silver-tongued Melville: “In caring for man ax an immortal being, Cfod caretl for him as an intellectual ; anfl if the Bi­ ble were but read by our artisans au«l our peas­ antry, «<■ should be surrounded by a far more enlighten« «I and intelligent poiutlatioD than will apjieai oil this land, wlu-n the school-master, w ith his countless magazines, shall have goue through it ii; its length and in its breadth.” When this holiest of books is read, when it is studied in the spirit of its Author, when the in­ tellect is guided by its illiimimitions, when its motives nre the inijmlscs to meutol efforts, then may a force ami symmetry ul mind be gained which all the wuijd besides cannot produce. xelf and his fellow man. And ua another re­ sult ot this religious eleuieut in training, lienout the revolution in the world's literature. It tin» been undergoing the slow hot sure process of puritioa- tion. When tho world's P< uteoost opened the world s budding epoch, the crucial text began. Not a few books were oomioitted to the b xmes es a prophecy of what should lie Consuuialed. '.’he work has moved steadily up to the present. The o, erupt books read by one generation have not la« n toloi Med by the next. Tiiegorrupt novel of the car boy and be news stand of to-day will not lie the literature of the future. These are only flying sparks from the expiring i tTS* batan. Through such institutions us thia oonaem Tf’d college the Holy Ghost will continue to lead out. 't’d purify the heart aud minds of youth ; out of these p. hearts I have just received a Gae lot of and minds will flow the pure literature whiuh *hll go far tows-ds regenerating the world . " As to their fountain, other stars Repairing, in their golden urns, draw light.” The diffusion of knowledge is another outgrowth * the Spirit of God among the nations in connection witl training. Edward Everett, in one of his orations, shows that one tendenoy of the world has been to concen­ trate learning as a means of power ; getting it into the hands of the chosen few. The spirit of the Christian religion says to the scholar: “Go ye into all the world, set my torch in the shadow of every darkened hovel, and pour my kindling beams into every benighted mind, puryfy every heart by corruption tainted, until the nations of the earth shall walk in the light there­ of.” And when from these radiating central suns and ovm stars of learning the dark parts of the earth shall be flamed through and through with heaven’s light, then shall it be echoed from class room, from church spire and from college observatory : “Christ being exalted by the right hand of God. and having received the promise—He hath shed forth this which ye now see Men's Boys’, and Youths and hear.” Fathers in Israel, brethren and laborers in this great work, permit one more reflection on this occasion. You <71ot all know that before the day of Pentecost stiuck thit- world with light and power divine, there had been a period of unsurpassed humiliation and suffering. All truly noble and great things of this life seem to be reached through great toils and suffering. This college Everthing sold at Reduc' which we now dedicate is no exception to the general rule. If all others forget it. we should remember that ed Prices. this is the aggregate result of prayers and tears; of wrestlings and great heart anxieties.
