Even under our present system, wealth is largely devoted to the general good. No man can do what he will with his wealth. The following letter was read from Mr. Chadwick, who was absent in Boston at the time of the meeting: MR. ELLSWORTH WARNER, BROOKLYN, May 24, 1889. Secretary Ethical Association : My Dear Sir: I am very sorry that your gain in Mr. Savage and his lecture is my eternal loss, as I am obliged to go to Boston and preach for him. This is a miserable Castor Pollux kind of an arrangement, which I trust ministers of religion will not be subjected to when the good times predicted by Edward Henry-GeorgeMost-Pentecost Bellamy have come to pass. I should like to be in Brooklyn to hear Mr. Savage and to say a few words afterward expressive of my satisfaction in the Winter's work of the Ethical Association, and especially of my sense of obligation to Dr. Janes, to whom, I am sure I may say, without disparagement of any, we are more indebted than to any other person for the inception and successful conduct of the course. If the speaking and printing of the lectures marked our complete accomplishment it would still be considerable, but I am bound to believe that they have stimulated many to such reading and study as must be pursued before the doctrine of Evolution can be vitally appropriated. I am also bound to believe that we have done nothing for science which we have not also done for religion, which is the poetry of science and of ethics. Yours very truly, JOHN W. CHADWICK. Letters were also read from members of the Sociological Section of the Natural History Society of Birmingham, England, and James Grosclaude, C. E., of Paris, France, expressing sympathy with the aims and work of the Association. MR. SAVAGE replied briefly to his critics, defending the views expressed in his essay. INDEX. ABBOT, DR.
