The formal opening of Farwell Hall, last even- ing, uoder tho auspices of the Young Men's Christian Aecociation, drew together nearly 1,000 people, the majority of whom wore ladies. The choir of the Centenary Methodist Cburch, consisting of about thirty young Iadics and goutlemen, were present and farnished the wmusic. Mr. N. 8. Bouton, the President of the Association, occupied the chair, and among those seated on the platform were the Rov. Dr. Torler, the Rev. H. N. Powers, the Rov. A. E. Kittreage, the Dev. E. P. Goodwin, B. F. Jacobs, and A. M. Pence. . The exercises commenoced with the singing of the authem, * The God of Abraham Praise.” Then followed the reading ef extracts from the Scriptures by the Liev. Dr. Powers, and a prayer by the Rev. Mr. Goodwin. The hymn *“All Hail the Power of Jesus' Neme,” was next sung, the audienco taking part. ADDRESS OF DR. FOWLER. At ita concluaion, Dr, Fowler was introduced. TIo gaid every man had his face toward the fu- ture, end we moved that way as naturally as wo moved at all. Wo were all prophots, and the sons of proplets, and were forover guessing at to-morrow. Every wiso man in trado caught the secret of to-morrow, and bartered it for guin to-day. Hence bo desired to tura the thoughts of lus audilors to the future of the Young Men's Christian Aseociation. Seilors measurcd the unseon depths of an icoberg by the sieaidli- ness with whick it moved on zgainst wind aud tempest. Science measured them. by measuring tha maes which rodo -zbove the surface. In solving tho problem befure them, they might follow the —eame motbods. They knew the sdverwe winds aud tempests that had beaten upon the society in tke post; they kness what head 1i had made; and hence could guess what it would do. On the other scale they had a giveu mass of ex- perience and facts. They could tsks from his- tory the Jaw of its endurance, and so determnine how farit woudd be carried in the cwrrent of timo boforo it dissulsed and was lost in the sea. Oue great {act was that the association existed. THE FIIST PHENOMEXO: that strock them was an army of 100,000 young men,—28 many a3 were in Athens when Pericles ruled Greece, mors than wera zzns of Rowme swhon her triumphant legions dictatea law to the “world, aud fur outnumberiug the armies of Washing- ten that woo liberly for this continent. Like Sherman's army, Lo association was on a peril- ous march. Tho hosts might seem - to be L evil reporiu might fll the air with rumors of rout; cnomiea might boast of capture and worTy the public faizia wish tales of terror, yet the Great Captain £2id “ Four pot; one shall chare a thousand, two shall put ten thousand to flight ; " and, according to the Divine arithmetic, 100,000 would rout a ihoussud bilions. Who could esiimnte the vower of 100,000 such war- riors, able to chase more sioners than bad vie- ited 'the esrth mince Adsm, o:thmi probably would before tne dsv of judgmont. The Losts had orgrmzed habitual mectirgs, where ike armor wos polished, aud the meapons perfected, ad the carnsgo d, and ths zeal in: . mmed—rwhere victo X ared for in ad- Vmico. Thers wasa yast meaning under these piuyer-meelings. ANOTHER PIASE OF TEE MOVEMENT wes1ts buildinga. It was eccuring s local habi- tation. Nothwug ever permencntly wou that was not grounded i reahity, Evers family meant Louso. A man aud s wifo could koard, and nox cutaplieh n home, but it was a calsmity. Board- ing-houses were an invention of thi enemy, and people who infosted.them uever cems to any weight or importance in the community. A men who could pack his goods in an hour and leave a night, conld uever ixo rejied upon for any great inflnence. [Laughter.] Obedient to the sama 1aw, forts ve1e tho monsmie of the stabilicy of & Government. Tho movement had this anchor- aze, having already titty buil 3, reprezenting $2,000000. The Asscciation hind also survived tho period of spasmedic conveations ; every idea must pess through thet tiel; and it had rercted the tme of sk , _delegatad conventions, whoso members bad creden- tinls, and_whose resolutions hed suthority, “Ltis gave it & ood7 and colesiveness. It bad als0 a creed; it velieved something, had soms- thing to do, and dared to s27 that s soul was its own. [Applanse.] There were, however, SOLE OZILCTI which demanded considération. It was foared by some that the might intertere with tne churches. The answer was that it could emnbarrass end worry only the dead churches. Tho chiteci claiming & monapoly would fiud its right disoipeted; the church caring more for thie idol of denominational belk :han for the eaving work of the Gespel would fesl tho force of this objection, apd ba cempelled to stut up this_way nto tle Kingdom, turough which it would na¢ enter ; but every. churcu having the epint of the Mzdier would ssk. " Are theso mon doing o Chnetinn work?” acd when they eaw their lador cf love . smong thore most meody, they wonld say “Any way, Lord, provided Tny kingdom comes.” Some people said the members wers irre- #ponsible, If God could trust th with giving power and converting frace, Was it not safe for common saints to trust them with approval? much for whei it accomplizhed. That was true. Bat the cost was not more than the expenee at- ter ¢ the tame zmount of work done by other religious agenzies. 1t was even sugzosted that the work was of a low grade—that common pooole did it,—that it was not eclogant or digmified, end ‘that sharp, emirt young men would Leep away. Supposoe the sneer founded 1 fact, what then ? llen must be saved by mea of their kind. All agencics must be used. The saloon and tho gatter must bo looked into. Some people wers so line that they would be ui- useless in such work. He knew of no more biy-toned” work thon saving men— making men eainis and engels out of the wastago of society. The work was impetiled by, certein dangers—exposed to tke danger of coneit, and to the peril of Le- ing too widely diifuzed. The fifty buildings worth $2.000,000 dwindled when piaced beside the 50,000 biuldicgs worth $2,000,000,000 that could be uged in the werk of suving thia lacd. Concentration was tho seeros of success in this age, and the Associasion must do its own work, and be willing to leave some fields uncontrolled. In spite of theso objections and dangers tho go- cicty would survive aad make a good ruture.
