ABSTRACT

We had a Conversazione at the Working Men's College, to which the pupils and their friends were invited. If you could feel what I did standing here, as it were between the past, present, and future! I heard the voices of angels blessing that which had been, and was, and should be here, speaking of a meeting-point for the divided classes, of friendship and mutual help, of earnest Study and hard work brightened by all three, speaking of the blessing of such momentary casting away of care, for those who can seldom do it.
