In part he said: in the world's history did man' advance more rapidly toward perfection than now. There is progress In every line. When this conference met here in 1873 no such high order of intelligence could have been seen in the gathering of ministers as is shown today.

'A man who has listened to the song of the birds until his eyes have filled with tears, can never again preach the same kind of a sermon as before.
