It is said that the history of the world is the history of its great men. I shall speak to you of one, who as author, statesman, orator and christian was among the greatest men that have ever lived. Wil- liam Ewart Gladstone was for many years a public man in the centre of the world’s politics. Some loved him. some hated him, some resisted and some fled from him. During his long career he was a shining example of what a man can be- come. Gladstone was born in 1809. His parents were both Scotch. They were pious people who never neglected family worship. The children were encouraged in debate, and ordinary events, and things were di~cuss- ed with animation. Their father treated his boys like men to make men of them. When he went to Eaton, \Villiam was‘ the prettiestlittle boy that ever attended. that school. \Vhile there he was studious, orderly and conscientious. At the age of 18 he went to Oxford. That college was then high Tory. The memory of Charles the First was revered as that of a martyr. It was also extremely high church. There Gladstone got his early ideas on these subjects. He was a hard student and more abstemious than was common at that time. It is said that his sparing use of wine tended to decrease its use by the studentsfor ten years after his time. By many, however, Gladstone was regarded as better fitted to live with maiden aunts and keep tame rabbits than set examples for college men. He graduated with a double first. His father dissuaded him from the church and he turned his atten- tion to politics. He was a tory of the toriesâ€"a shadow of Canning and Burke. When 23 years old he was elected to parliament for Newark. In the house then were the Duke of Wellington, Lord Brougham and Daniel O‘Connell. that man with a passion for philanthropy and who did so much for his native isle. On Tuesday night a aood audience listen- ed to the pastor of St. Andrew's, while he lectured on Gladstone. The lecture was delivered under the auspices of the Talent Workers of that church, and was a most pleasing and instructive sketch of the great statesman. Mr. T. Stewart was in the chair. Before the lecture Miss Gross sang and after it Mrs. Pilkie. Both these ladies are favorites and were well received. Mr. Macmillan spoke about an hour.

Mdcmillan Lectures on William Ewart Gladstone $45 WILL BUY Q These were days of great activity among the people of England. The Reform bill, mechanical inventions, an extension of the franchise, had - given the common people new hopes and led them to believe that they were to become the real aristocracy. It was a time of religious revival. Men whacked each other over the heads on the street corner for the glory of God. It was amid such surrounding that Gladstone entered public life. He got an excellent training under Sir Robert Peel, who was a master politician, a moderate tory, an ex- cellent debater and an opportunist in the best sense. Every politician should be an opportunist. He cannot go wivh his head in the clouds and his eyes fixed on the stars proceeding by abstract theories. He must be able to see what will be best for the people under the various circumstances that may arise. Gladstone's first speech was in defence of the management of slaves on his father s estates in Demarera. It plead for humani- ty, but he would not have made it ten years afterward. Hume. the sceptic in- troduced a bill opening Oxford and Cam- bridge to students who were dissenters. Up to that time no young man who was not a churchman could attend a lecture at these colleges 1 Gladstone, though so high in church and tory, supported the bill and it was passed. He was a splendid speaker. His voice was musical and his vocabulary extensive. As he began to speak his hands were behind his back. then at his sides, then in front. afterward slightly us- ed in gesture, then into his coaat pocket, and as he proceeded his gesture and manner were the best that have been seen in the house of commons. His tall figure, strong features and large, piercing black eyes made Mr. Gladstone a striking figure when he rose to speak. HIS FIRST BOOK Gladstone wrote a book on the state‘s relation to the church. It held that the ‘ state has a conscience, that that conscience can distinguish between truth and error, that the established church ought to con- tinue in Ireland, for if the people were not members of it they ought to be! Macau- lay assailed these ideas in his essay on this book. In later years Gladstone was the means of disestablishing the church in Ireland, and this was only one example of how, as he grew older he changed his ideas on great questions. He was rapidly promoted to responsible positions in the cabinet, but resigned when he supported a grant to Maynooth college, so that he could consider the subject without preju- dice. This step made many think that he was too whimsical and conscientious to be of much account. But he was soon in office again. In his budget speeches he set the multiplication table to music as none of his predecessors had ever done. In 1880 the Bulgarian atrocities drew from him a vigOrous and effective protest against Beaconsfleld's indifference. In 1892 he was leader of the liberal party and of the Home Rule policy. More than 20 years before he had withdrawn from public life to spend his later years in study. But it was impos- sible for him to disappear and even when i5 WILL BUY a good useful mare.

THE ORATOR Judge Dean moved a vote of thanks and regretted that the lecturer had not spoken of Mr. Glaaatone’s policy toward the Trans- vaal after Majuba Hill. “Some people of intelligence and many more who are more noted for the intensity than the accuracy of their convictions blame Mr. Gladstone to; thgprgsent ill-starred war._" _ Mr. Gladstone spoke Greek, French. German and Italian. During a holiday he wrote letters on the condition of prisoners at Naples that led to their better treat- ment. He was a man who seemed to know everything, a delightful conversa- tionalist. and in his home life simple and kind. He was a good singer and enjoyed a joke. No improper jest or word was ever uttered or countenanced by him. He made mistakes but right or wrong he was never bought or sold. and died the darling of the British people. His sun has set and in the duller days that follow. men will remember the splendor that has passed away" (Applause) _ Mr. D. R. Anderson spconded the motion and believed that Mr. Gladstone wouÂ¥d be the brightest figure on the page of the Eng- lish history of this century. _ 1n thanking the audience Mr. Macmillan said he had avoided speaking: of the Trans- vaal matter because the air is now too electric to form and express opinions for or against Mr. Gladswne’s policy after Majuba. During the sixty years of Gladstone’s public life there were eighteen changes of government in England. Yet the political life of that country is the purest in the world. Frequent changes of ministries is not a bad thing. The only time thata charge of partisan appointment to office was made in that length of time, was made against Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Glad- stone proved Lot only that the person appointed was fitted for the office but that he actually belonged to the other party. How does that compare with the appoint- ments in Canada? over 80 years old he went throuzh the United Kingdom delivering powerful speeches that converted the nation to Home Rule. He was successful; the bill passed the Commons, but as you know was rejected by _the Lords. Mr. Gladstone loved Ireland as though it had bden his native land. He did much for it and would have done more. He supported some unwise things. Among them was the Crimean war, and the scand- alous war with China that fastened the opium trade on that country. The British parliament pronounced it morally indefen- sible and yet because its results are profit- able to India they have never been revers- ed by the government. We cannot forget that D'Arcy McGee said “ ‘The flag that braved a thousand years the battle and the breeze,’ " has helped many a lame dog over the stile.” VERY CHEAP BY THE YARD. The repeal of the corn laws gave great relief to the laboring classes, and never again will a cent of taxation be placed on foodstuffs going into England. It may be too much to say that free trade would be a good thing for Canada, but it is certain that if Gladstone or Lord Salisbury were Canadian statesmen free trade would not beithe bpzaboo to them that it is to_us.
