III. T a t : O b i k c t o f t h i s Amihtio.v i s Su-I'UKMEiiY DFiHlRAittiK. Tiie obJect, fomemlier, is lo las woll-iiloasinj,' lo tho Lord. I tsureiy apiKjars dt«lrablo ttj please tho Ijord, in vlow of such con-siderations as thioso:—

1. 'Jhe enjoi/uicnt of hln a/ijiroving «mUe, His Hinilo is life and ids frown worso than iktalh. II 1» eharacier Is the sum uf moral oxeollenoo and iMir-foetion. Wiion iio upprovoa ho sous somothing that rosemblort liinisolf. Thoro is nothing so de-sirable on tlio part of any rational orealuro as the eomplaeont ai>i>robatiou of Ihp Creator. No angel fools tho impulse of a ioftler motive than a doslro to bo well-i)loaslng lo Go<l. This Gabriel, Mlehaol, and all tho sons of l ight know. Tho t«rm Lord, in the eontoxl, doubtloss refers siKHjially to tho Lt>rd JtMUs, and in this truth thoro is an ai)i)eal ol trunscondent power to tile hearts of tho redwmod. Thoy liavo boon bought with the precious blood of Calvary. Jesus endured untold sorrow on their account. Tho sutTerlnga he bore were such as tho universe never witnessed before and will never witnoss again. Tho darkness of tho earth when tlie sun hitl his face was Hymbolie of the awful t larkniw wliicli eamo on Clirist when forsaken i)y his Father. If redemption Wits prmnired at tho exiionso of -wjrrow, sullering and ilealh on tho jmrt of tho Lord of glory, surely Iho redeomod should boHUi>remely anxious lo IKI woll-pleasing to him, so as to enjoy his apjirovlng yniilo. Thoy should gratify him who boro unspeakable grief on their account.

2. Tnininnlity of comciowc. To dlsjdeiwo tho Lord la so unreasonable that' wo can never joelsat-istlwl under his dlsploa.suro. But whon wo please him consclenco is ciUm, enjoying a iwace which tho smiles of the world cannot givo and which its frowns caimol destroy. Who that knows, the tor-tures of a guilty consclorico does not appreciate the tranquility of which 1 9|)etik ? When heaven ap-proviw and Iho conscionce is tmnqull , uianV), relations with God are proporly adjusted. I need not sjiy that this adjustmeid has to do, primarily, with reconciliation with God through Christ; but after It takes placc tho preservation of a tranquil conHclonco Is lnso|>arablo from eurnoat striving lo pleas(» tho Lord.

ProlevHon from Urn reprourJics of mat. In this ImiKirftKit world Injuitlco Is often done to the Ik-hI of men. There Is sometlmeH a misconception of motives, or a mislnterproljillon of wools, or it mlsconstruethm of actions, Tho names of tho gowl may bo east out as ovil, and oloutls of rojironch may gather round them. But wliat does all this amount to If thoy have tho suhllino consclousnesH lhat thoy are woll-pkswlitg to the Lord ? How fully wiw Paul shloldotl from the ImpuUUlonH of men and domonH, I(m», when he said, "Our re-joicing is this, the Iwlliuony of our conscloneo I " Hl« cruel iwrawutlOitM at I'iiHlppI did not prevent hlH praying and Hluglng iiralsda lo God lu prison al tho hour ol iMldnlghl. Tliore intwt havfe ljcota

great joy iu bis iieart to vail forth s o n p . i n Huch uircumstanceB. Wlience aroue the* Joy ? Xi^ubtlflsa from the fact tliat he waa woll pleaNlngi.to the IjorU, nnd that the Lord wa4 lookiof; o^nijilHCuntly on liiin in the <lurknewi of the priaQni^ hia feet being fast in the utouks. To be conscious Uiat the Lord l3 pleased with u8 Is the bcitt protection from Uie roproaohoH and lupenionH of men. The objoct of Hanctined ambition ie stipremely. <l«8UnU)le.

Now, my dear brother, the Savior may have designed to reprove the dlsciplett for thin neglect, but for inany years It ha« been clear to my mind that the washing of the dlaclplea' feot by their Lonl and Maater hml an object aud design far more grand, glorloue aud Imimrtant, which waa to place before their eye« and teach them, by this ocular demonatratlon, a truth which they seemed Blow to learn, for he had taught it to theru by direct statement aud by llluHtrallcms ou different occasions, from the time the mother of Jameaand John manlfeated the spirit of selflnti pride aud human ami)ltlon and arrogance, which she did In requesting a high aeat for her two sons In our Lord's kingdom. Now It douniH plain to me that in our Lord's answer to this good woman, as well u8 his arguments with his dl8cii)leH when they were contending alMJUt who nhoukl be the greatest were designed to show them that true jrreiitueaH in the Christian kingdom iti exactly the reverwe of what they regarded as grcatuiiw, By hw illiHtru-tlons he place«l before thetn a lact of which they were unwiwclous, which that all our fiiilen race mifjumlerstand what true grcutiiotw is. They think it consists in occupying high pliic»« of authority, and being nerved by othern, wliicli is «ltO({ether a mistake, because the Christiiin kingcloni id wholly a dls)>«U8i tlon of labor, sutlVring and service, in complianoe with ihe will of Uud, who is the author of this gracious system. Thenffore greatness con slsts in ijei;vlco cheerfully rendered, according to the divine Will, and not In being served by others, as iiersrerted human ambition HujtposoH, This groat and glorious principle of Christian d<»ctrlne our Lord clearly) teaches when ho declares that he came not to iM mlulstered unto but to minister, as the greatest of all servants. He came to do his

: 'Ruber ' s will and to tlnlnh his work. Thus he, subjectively, served his Father perfectly, by ren

^ derlng perfect obedience to his law, and objectively by doing mon« for uninklnd antl conferring

« . 4iIK)n the world greater Imnollts than all the men that have ever lived In it. Wherefore, on account of this superior service, Qod hath highly exalted him, and given him a name that Is above every name. Thus we see that It Is service In doing good to others, according to the will of Ood, that entitles to elevation In the working department of the Christiau system.

Then when the Lord had clearly taught this grand principle of doctrine by bis own example,

. said, •• If any of you would be groat, let him ** J t ' have the same mind, aud follow me, doing as I

have done." Lot him bo really the willing ser • vant of all, aeoklng to do good to all, us you have

opportunity, ov^n to the waihlng of ono another's feet when it ia needful. Let every ouo see that In this kind of servioe there la obedlenuu to tho luw ol supreme love to Ood, which .leads to uhMrful obedience to hU will and obedience to the law of

p e ^ t love to ipen which prepares ns do to thon|i all good van.

Now, my diear brother, lot me again suggcat that you take out the paawgo I tnentlonod, and lot the {(Ktt-waahing »:ome In Imrandlato cxmnectlon wUt the strife about gr«it««. Then by adding to yonr third fact that which you will readily see to be ne<«w8ary, to show that tho object of the Lonl was to bring, by example and twcular demonstration, iMjfore the eyes of the dUclidcH tho grand truth that in his kingdom service Is g r e a t ^ , and he that Is the beat servant Is really tho greatwt man. l ie that thus honors ChrlHt by following his exainpio of service, him will tho Father honor with the Bon. The honor that true greatncsH brings count) iu this lino of ser vice to Ood and nien, in t'm name of Christ. Then, O. how nmch mor«u«rt'ful should every Christian lie to manifnat the spirit of a true devoted servant of Christ and his |M*)plo, thiui lo sotiik the tllliw that elevate uh in the CHtwin iff the world I

The appellation of servant umy be rtt^ardcd by many KB humiliating and dishonorable; but the enllghtehed Christian 04»n see how l)eautifully U synchronizes and harmonl>«« with the term hlrwl loborer, which stHiures to each one whatevor su|»-IKjrt l.t nee«lful In time, and the endejirlng title of Son, which gives us jolnt-helrship with Clirist aud makee It Uwful for the Father to reward eaclj ono according as his works shall 1ki In Christ, and he says this Is the honor I seek.

A NOTICE recently apjHjared In a Bajitist paiM'r

that Dr. —, a IJaptlst minister, would preach the following Sunday night, at tho lirtptlM church, on " T h e Peculiar Astronomical I'lie-nomena During the Coming Ysar." The si»otiul announcement doubtless drt*w a groat crow l, who doubtless returnetl homoaniaztHl at the wonderful things they had heard.

Will learned dlHSPrtatlons upon this astronomical phenomena inllu»'nco souIm to Jesus V

But enough upon this particular annouuwnicnl. It is only one among many Instances in which the cross is lost sight of, and an unholy ambition to have a crowded house Is allowed to i)ervert th( hours of worship Into Intellectual entertainments. Our church houses have UK-ome faucy public halls, In which crowds asseujhle lo wltium th« lierformonces of the preachers. Actyr would U more appropriate than minister, and before tlu foot-llghts better than In the pulpit —would sound better iu connection with many of our modern religious meetings.

I t is true that Paul was a great njan, but it Is human to err, and Paul was human. In the light of the civilization and spirituality of tho nineteenth century, Paul commlttetl a serious blunder at Athens, a centre of learning. If he had animad-verted upon some mysterious and wonderful theory of philosophy. Instead of iireaching Christ and him cruclllid, perhaps his ministry would have been more successful. Would it not be well for our young ministers to be furnished with a book from liomo learned doctor, contrasting Paul's failures lat Ephostis, lk>rlnth, Athens, and Home, with the success of preachers of the i>io<U>rn and approved pattern Y Perha|>s a little hel]) iu this way would enable them lo succeed —to draw.

tiorloudly, Is It true that the simple preaching of the gospel has lost its power over the world, and that God has revoked his purpose " by the foi^lsh nesa of preaching to savo them that believe ? " Take Upurgeon as an examjilo, aud wo would say that QOd'a plan of attracting thoattentlou of men la Paul's day b his plan In our day. In every age of Christianity, from the a|)08tollc days to this time, there have been men, groat proachers who, controlled only by love, have proachod the simple truths of the gospel, and In m doing have drawn

^ i t crowds. Mid made; to themaelvoH, nm well lu to Jeaua, a great u ime. Itut ihey were not In the ^toagrotmdl. l*hey hid themaelves behind the crous of Calvary, and tut the maMsw wew drawn they were drawn towards tho hiding-place. Their sermons, morning and night, were of the sauie matter, llro«l by Uio same love, itnliaatod by tha aamo spirit, and ad t ln^-d to the same clans ol hean'rs—slunera.

In the A'po-tlolic age, and in tho three centurlw whlfli followetl, it Ih evlilent that, as a general rule, those who came to baptism came lu full age, "f their own deliberate choice. Wc flnd a few eases of the tmptlsni of children ; In the third century wo llnd ono wwe of the baptism of infants. Kvfn am.)ng Christian housel-olds the InsUirtcts of Chryosotom, Gregory, Nazianzen, Basil, Kplmmi of Edeasa, Augustine, Ambroee, are diTislve proofs that It was not only not obligatory but not usual. They ha<l Christian parents, and yet they w«!r»i not baptlzeil till they reached maturity The liturgical service of baptism was framed en-lindy for full-grown converts, and Is only by slderablo adaptation aitplled to the case of Infants, (iradually, however, tho practice Hprca(l«, im" after tho fifth century tho Christian world, I ' ^ i and W.-at, Catholic and Protestant, Bplst-opal ami Presbyterian (with the single e x c e p t i o n of tne sect of tlrn Baptists Iwfore ment ion^) , have bap-tized children In their Infancy. Whereas, In tne

MTly adult baptism was the rule, and Infont biiptl'Hn the excfljptlon, In later t l m « infimt bap-tbra Is tfee rule, and adutt baptism the exception. What is thejustlflcatlon of this almost unlvoraal departure from the primlUvo uwgo? Thoro may haw been many roasons, iwmo ba«l, aome good. One, no doubt, WIUJ the superslltlous feeling al-ttstly montlone<l which regarded baptlwh as a charin, IndlsiKinslblo to salvathm, and which In-aisted on imparting It to every human Imlng who coidd Iw touchwl with water, however uncon-gclous. Henwj the eageuees with which Iloman CBthollo mlsslMuarios, like HI, Francis Xavler, have luaile it the chief glory of their mission to h a v e baptlzc-d hee< hen iM)pu lat Ions vvliol<«ide, lij utter disregard of the primitive or Protfistunt p r a c t i c e of previous prei»ratlon. Hence tho c a p -

ture of children for baptism without tho wmsent o f t h e i r parents, as lu tho eelebratwl c i w o of tho Jewish boy Mortawi. l l enw tho curious de. clslon of the Horbonue (jtujled in 'Jriiitfain Shmuhj. Hence In the otirly centuries, antl still in the Eastern churcht^s, co-extetwlve with Infant Bap-tism, the practice (d Infant O>mmunion, both Justified ou the same grounds, and both huscsl on the mechanical application of nlblkitl tcjtts to. cases which by their very nature w<.re not con-templated in the Apostolic age.

But there Is a betttsr side to the growth of this practice which, even if It did not mingle iu its origin, Is at I east tho cause of Its conllnuuuce. It lay deep In early Chrlstiau fec'llng that tho fact of belonging to a Christian household con.secratwl every member of it. Whether txiptized or not, the AiKietle urge<l that, be(«um> the parents were holy, therefore the children were holy. They were not to Imj treatcsl as oulca-sts; they were not to be treated as heathens; they were to Im recog-nized as a part of the chosen pt>ople. This passage, w h i l s t it is conclusive itgahift the practice of in-fant baptism In the AiHwtollc age, is a rtwgnl-tlon of the legitimate rea.son and iK^rmanent prind|>le on which It Is founded. It Is the ac-knowletlgmenl of the Christian miintliness and union of family llf<!. The goixlncss, the holin»w, the imrlty of a Christian llreskle, of a Christian marriage, of a good di'athb«!<l, extends to all those who come within its reach. .\h we arc all drawn nearer to each otln-r by the natur.il bonds of alVei!-tlon, so w« aro ail drawn hlill nearer when tlicHC bonds of aJfw!!Urn are cemcntiMl by (."tirisliauitv. Every gathering, therefore, for the cliiislening of a little child is truly a family gathering. It teaches us how clowly we aremendjersoneof an-other. I t teaches parents l>ow dwply r<,"Hponsil)l.' they are for the growth of tiiat lUlio crcaturr-throughoutItsfuturocducation. ltloacla'.sl)rotlii!rs and sisters how bV theiu is fonn nl theutinosphere, good or bad, In which the soul of their little new-lK)rn brother or sister is trained to good or to evil. It teaches us tho value (if tho i»urity of those do-mestic relations In which from childhood to okl age all our best thoughts aro fostered and en-couraged. It also surmouuts and avoids the dilll-cultles which oncompasa adult baptinm In a»y country or society already impregnated with Christian Influences. If the Now Tu-,tt.nient has no example of Infant Baptism, neither has it any example of adult Christian Bsiptisin ; that is, of the baptism of those who luul lx>en already i'"''" and bretl Chrhitlans. The arlincial formality of a Baptist Bervlco for those who ni our time have grown up as Christians Is precludiHl by tho admln-iHtratlon of tho rite at the commencement of tho natural life.

But there Is a further rcuson to be found in Iho character of children. This Is contained in the gospel which Is read In the Baptismal Ht rvlco of lufantfl throughout tho Western church. In tho eariy agce there probably were those who doubted Whether children could bo regarded worthy to bo dedicated to Goil or to Christ. The answer Is very simple. If our Dlvlno Master did uot think them unlit to bo taken In bis arms ami receive his own gracious blosslng when ho wtis actually here In bodl ly preaence, we need uot fear to ask his blessing upon thom now.

" A TllIUMPH o r CUUIsXIAX CUAUtTY." Infant baptism Is thas a recognition of tho goofl

In thrwo little (jhlldn-n of Galileo, all uuhaptlKOfl as thoy were, not yOt even within tho reach of a Chrirftlah ' family, Josua (JtirUt saw the likeness ol tho IClhgdom of IIiMven; merely because ttioy were llltlechlldren, merely bwause they wew; luntH'fnt huiuan bolngs, ho saw In them the oliJmiLs, not of devltio miilwlfc-tion, but of divine boniKllctlon. Ii<»r<l PalrmTston was onco S4)verely uttacked for hiivlnii said "Children are born giMxI." Hut he, in fact, only said what ChryHOstom had aaid befor<> him, and Chrys(j«tom said Only what hi the goHpels had been already said of the natural state of the uu-Imptlzwl Gallk'aii children, " Of such is tho king-dom of heuv(!n." The sulwtitutlon of Infant baptism for adult baptism, like the change from immersion to sprinkling, is thus a triumph of Christian charity. It exemplltlcH at tho (irst b(»-ginnlng of life timt dovine grace which hopea all things, believi>f) all things, endures all things. In each such little child our Savior saw, and we may sef!, tlie i)roml.se of a glorious future. In those little hands folded in unconwcious reiKwe, In those bright ey(w llrst awakening to the outer workl, In that soft forehf^ad uiirurrow*^! by the sllghtect rullle of care, lie naw, and w« may si-e, tho unde-veloped rudlmental instruments ol the labor, and intelligence, and energy of a whole life. And not only so—not oidy in hoiH', but in actual reality, dot^ Ihe hies-sipft on little children, whether a» exprtWMl in theOfwiM'l story, or as impllwi in Ju-fajit Baptism, acknowledge the cxcenency and the value of the child-like soul. Not onco only in his life, but again and again, he held ihem up U> his disciples as tho b( (.t corrective of the sins aud puAsions of nii-nkind.

The Invratmtmt of this first b^iuning with a re-ligious and solemn character toacbea iw that as we must grow from infancy to uianhood, so also we musl gr(»w from the Infancy, tho limited perceii-tiuns, the narrow faith, the stuuted hope, the im-jKjrfcct knowledge, the stralteiiod affections of the infancy ol this morial state to thefuU:growomun-hootl of our Immortal life. It 8Ugg«t» that we have to jia:ss from the momentary baptism ,of un-conscious hifauts through the tranaforming bap-tism of I'ire and tho Spiri t- that Is, of Exp^enoe and of Character—which is wrought out through . the many vlssltudcn of lives aud the great change of deiith.

orUKR CUANGEis. 4. 'Iht re aro many other changes conaeqent on

the suUstltutiou of Infant for Adult Baptism. The whole institution of siwnsera Is of a later date. In the early ctmturlos the answers were made for the child as a general rule by the pareuta. The crea-tion of a new series ut spiritual afflnltiea was the r(MuU of Irausferrlng to a child the dramatic form which had lawn originally used for grown-up con-verts. This mwlern system of sponsors doubtless has its social aiul »'.or.d advantages; but It was wltli the view of nu?etlng the obvious dlfflcidties whk-h so complex an arrangement awakens In the mln<l8 at Ica-st of tho uneducated, that the late Royal Comitdsslouere on the Rubrics on one oo-ciiHlon recomended that tho whole of that part of the Iliiptlsmal Service should be made optional. This, with many other sensible proposals, wai re-jected by tho Lower House of the Southern Con-vocation,

The exiou' ction of the (^irl-tlan name with Iwi)-ti.sm is also a rmult of the change. Properly speaking, the name Is not given In baptism, but having iKion already given, the i»er8on baptised Is then publicly recognized as the boater of the name which stamiis his lasrsonalty. In tho case of the adult baptism of tho airly ages this was obvious. Flavins Constanthms had always been FTavIus ConstatilinuH, an«l Aurellns Augustlnus always Aurelios Augustinus. It was only When the time of the name-giving and of the iMptlsm, ias in the caj e of Infants, so muriy adnclded, that the two c^iiue to be confoundwl.

Conllrmatlon, which onco formed a part of bap-tism, has l»een se|>arate<I from It, and turned into a now ordinance, which In the Kotnan Catholic church has been made Into another sacrament. Along with this disruption between Confltttiatlon and Biiptlsm has taken place another changw—the absoluto prohibition throughout the Western church of Infant Communion, which in tho eariy church was, as it still Is In the I^ast, the insepara-ble 80'orai)anlment of Infant Iwptlsm. In early ages, as in the Eiujtern church. Confirmation was the title given to the unction which accompanied bniitlsm; In the later Romish church, and In most Protestjuit churches. It Is the title given to the open adoption of tho Chftsllan faith and life In matttre years.

Another curious series of changes has taken piai-e In ri>g«r«I to tho persons Who adittlJilste-ed baptism, in tho«?ariy conturioi It was only the Biflhoi), and this Is prolaibly the origin Of the re-tention by the Ej.l8Copidor»lrtofthatpartofthe old Baptism which, we httvo Just said, was wnat we now cidl conttrmation. Thus, as the Eplsco-i),de iKsiamo more separate from tho Pieiibytorato, m tho iH'llel In the paramuuut neossslly of bap-tUm iRcatuo stronger, as the populatlOM of Christendom increased, the right was ext^ded to Presbyters, then to deacons, and at last to laymen

it eoiihl nol rest in tills shape. At tlie meeting of the (leiieral Assembly, some montlis ago, at Haraloga, New York, Dr. L. i'atton priwnteii an fivertiire from the HyiUKl of Raltlniore on the nueslioii of the Validity of lUiman (M»iollc bap-tlsms, «.«iklng Iho ansfmihly lo o;fpre«Hly rescind or re-alllrm the deliverance of the A;:W.mibly of IW); also asking the reversal of tho action of 1875, which left thequentiontotbe lower (vurU of tho <!liincli. Tho committee to whom U e njatter was relened said that they were " unwllUiiK to re-iidlrni the deliverance of 1835." Dr. Patton sup-ported tills view in a strong siH«ech, manifesting deep learning and gretil ability. Hut he met his niateli In the jicrflon of Dr. Prime, editor of the New York Ohserver. The fetillng was intense, and the balde only closed with the close of the day.

Ry the next morning things had somewhat cooled ilown, ami Dr. White, of New York, fabrl-cateil Ihe following resolution as a compromise, which was llnally adoptetl, vir,.:-

Uemhvd, That this Assembly, in full ftiyjordance with the words of our Uotifession of Faith,respect-

• " ' ---'Tltui

the doctrinra of tlm Ifoly fkriptnyen," Hn bilpf liiiii must l)e valid. For if lh«f baptimn of Ohrliit's church iK nut valid, there can h«no v^id baptixin. The tint |iart of thin rmolntlon repudiates R«)iniiili baptism, the latter iwrt enflormw it by foroe'of logic.

Here tho mutter lies, but It will not reel ou« hundrcid years. It htw vi'xwi PreHbytmiann, and will continue u» vex them while Ihey exlHt. They cannot answer It. i. B.

VALID RAPTIHM.

it |H baptism adniinisteroil by IVinian (iatliolicM ' validV" Thisqinwtlon ba-s gniitly troubh-d

I'rwiiyterians for nearly one hundre<l years. In I7!W tliey decided tlial the Romisli vhiirch was nol a triio church, and her ordinancfs therefore were uol valid.

in 182S» the General Assembly disi-iKsed the qiiwtion and wert about to dwide negatively, when n few ioglenl-mlnde«l members rose and matlolhe isiinl clear that Presbyterians derive<l tlielr baptism tbrotigb tho church of Rome, for John Ualvln, Thwxiore Reza, John Knox, and others, the fathers and founders of the i'rcsbyte-rian church, were bapllztMl liy Homlsh priests, and were never robaptlml. Hence to reject Romish Ifflptism is to unchurch I'reflbylerianism. On tho other liand to acknowledge It as valid Ih lodttchire tlmt the IlomlHh Is the true church of Christ, for only a true church of (Christ can administer valhl baiitimn. And II tbe llomlsh church Is a true nf Christ, thou Preahytorhins liail no right to abandon her communion and oslabllsh a new church. Hence a motion prevailed to poslj«)ne the question Indollnltely. This gave only tempo-rary relief.

The question cumo up again In ISIW, nnd after a ful| dlHcufwIon of sevoral days the General As-Wnliiy almoat unjiulruoUHly decided tlmt " bap-tism so adinlnistenHl 1« nol valid," because the Ostliolle church, they mild, " has eMentially apos-tallJied frtj'n the religion of our Lord and Havior Jesufi Christ, nnd therefore cannot bo recognlr-eil »»ft ChrlsUan churcli." .

Here the matter was left.tlll 1804, \th«n upon thp wune quntton the committee made two re-ports. The majority report recomiWendotl that the Qenerel Amembly declare that, in their opinion, bftptlBm In tlie Roman OatHolic chnrch In

ing the church of Rome and lis so-callwl spiritual liewl, do now re-ainrm the deliverance upon this HUbj.H-t of the As««'nibly ol 183.0, as applying to the Romish liierarchy, iieadcHi liy the Pope, and falselv claiming lolie the church, which iBO|)|)Osed alisolutely and Irreconcilaliiy to tho doclrlntw of tlie Holy Hcriptun>s, Is corrupting and degrading lo ft large part of Christ's church over which It has usiirptil supreme control.

if this is not an example of the expression, •'language was given to man to conceal his lde4i.'<," we never saw one. Few will compreiiend the meaning of this resolution at lirst reading. Let US examine it somewhat minutely.

1. It proposes to re-alUrm the deiivorance of isao, which was that tho Catholic church "cannot be reeognlwd as a ChristUm church," and then (ore " her baplism is Invalid."

2. Thai the poiM> fftlsely cluinis to 1)0 thelieadof

Ihe church. ;t That the Romisli hierarcy is opiHwed.abso

lulely and irreconcilably, to Iho d(M;trliieH of the Holy Heriplurcs. In other words, that tho iioman Catholic church is absolutely opiMwwl to the doc trine of Ihe Hacred HcrlplurcH. That the two can-not bo rcconeilwl. That tho Romish church, with her system of sacramental salvation, must lie re lected, or tho doctrine of the Hcrlplurefl-lhey are alisolutely irreconcilable. This jKisltion Is certainly Invulnerable. This is all well enough. But the resolution looks two ways.

1. This Roml.sh hierarchy, falsely claiming to be the head of tho church, " Is corrupting and de-grading to a large part of Christ's church." We ask what irni'l of Christ's church Is corrupted and degrarled by tho Ilmnlsh hierarchy? Evidently llml iMirl over which It has " usurped supreme conlrtil." over whom doce It exercise " supreme control?" Over it« own ineinbera—over Itself. Tlien tho resolution declares that the deliverance of the Assembly of 1880, that the llomlsh church "cannot Ik? recognized a.i a Chrlsthin church, and therefore Ita ImptlRin Is Invalid," should be re-ainrmeil.

5. That this Romish church must bo rpject«l, with all Itfl rltcfl awl ceremonlcH, 6rthe doctrines of the Hcrlpturca must lie. And though thia church Is corrupting and degrading to Ita own meml^n., and that Ita authority is not delegated by Christ, but " uHuri)ed;" yet ItconnUtutesa i a i ^ part of Christ's church," and hence without it, withal i(a corruptlonis Christ's church Is bcompleto, and

a! an Indispensable part o f b h r l s f i l ^ h , »though HlHoIutely and Irreconcilably opposwl to

We call Iho attention of our readers to the appeal of Mrs E. R. HtTuggs, pulillshed in another col-umn. Tlie object is a worthy one, and will, we fet'l sure, aill forth tho hearty coH)|ieratIon of all our brethren. Send contributions to Mrs. E. R. Hwruggs, Sw<?etwaler, Tenn.

In the eilltor's notef. In our Issue of January 81, road Bro. Clouts InsU'ad of Cloute, Bro. McCants, of Monticello, Instead of McCarty, and Bro. Lang-ley Instead of Lungley. The editor's hasty pen-cllllngs arc not the most legible writing In tb« world. We correct that the friends of these breth-ren may know who were intended.

We hope our brethren will not forget tho appeal for aid to the Seminary sent out by Dr. Boyoe. A crisis has been reached, and the future existence of the Institution Is Involved. Tho closing of the Seminary would indeed be a calamity, bat that will be the certain result unless the churches rally to Its support, and that without delay.

We take this note from the Ventrttl BaplM,Bi. liouls, Mo. It Is a infist excellent paper, and d«-, serves a wide circulatlorts " I n a few weeks the readers of the Oetilml will be favored with sennoni by Dr. H. H.

The fir»t rule fur killing it to hii vv uiily >'uc-li tunes aa tho iwoplo cannot 8ln.g.

In some churchefl it is tlie cuituni for choirs at each servico to Ring one tune which the i»tHjj»lo know. I t in very generous of the ciioir to do tliat Tho i^opleought tube very thankful for tho do-nation. They do not deserve It. Tlicy are all

mheiahie offenders," (1 heard Iheni say so), and if permitted once in a nervlce to Hlng, ought to think themselves highly favore<i. Hut I oppose this singing of even the ono tune that t ho impk ' understand. It sjxjllfl them. It getn theyn^iirtnker-ing after more. Total abstinence Is tiie only safety; for, if you allow them to liubiho at all, they will aft«r awhile g%t in the habit of drinking tcK) much of. it, and the first thing you know tiiey will tw

. going around drunk on aacriHi {Hultnody. liosidtM that. If you let them sing one tune at ii service, they will be putting their oar into tiie oilier lumx and bothering the choir. There 1* notiiing uiore annoying to the choir tiian, ntsonie moment when they have drawn out a note to exquisite tlnenesa, thin 88 a spilt hair, to have son»o lilunclerlng eide/ come in with a " PraLse ye the U)rd ! " Total ab-stinence, I say! Let ail tho churches take the pledge even againat tho milder mustical l>evernge«; for they who tJimp<T with chftnii»lgne-cidcr smon get to Hock and old Burgundy,

Now, If all the tunes are new, there will ije no temptation to ti»e people. They will not keej) humming along, hoping that tliey will find some bars down where they can break into tho 'oiover-pa.sture. They will take tiie tune as an inextricable conundrum, and give It up. Besides tliat, Pisgaii, OrtonvlUe and Brattle Street are old-fjAihioned. They did very well in their day. Our fathers were simple-mindpfl people, and the tuno.s Httwl tlieni. But our fathers are gone, and they ought to liave taken their baggage with them. It is a nuisance to have those old tunee floating around theciiurcli, and some time, Just as we have arot tlie nunlc as floe as an opera, to have a revival of religion come,and some new-bom soul break out in " Itock of Ages Cleft fo r 'Me!" till theorganist stamps tiic pedal with Indignation, and tiie leader of tlie tune gets In the face and swears. Certainly, any-thing that makes a man swear Is wrong — cr.r/o. congregttlonal singing is wrong. Quoderat demon-rtrandum; which, being translate*], means, PUUn or the note on a man's face. What rigiit have Iieople tosing who know nothing about rhythmics, melodies, dynamic? The old tunen ought to be ashamed of tliemBelves when compared with our modern beauties. Let Dundee and Portugese Hymn and Sliver Street hide their heads botddc what we heard not long ago in a church—Just where I shall not tell. Tho minister read the hymn

' betutlfuUy. The organ began, and the choir .sang, M near as I could understand, a.s follows :—

"Oo--»w-gee-btth _ Ah-m»-U-lie U-pah-aati—dull

Wo—h«w-gee'e-6-e." My Wife, seated beside mo, did not like tho

music. But I said. •• What beautiful sentiment I My dear, it is a pastoral. You might have known that from • Wo-haw-geo I ' You have had your taste ruined by attending the Brooklyn Taber-nacle." The choir repeated the last line four times. Then the prima donpa leaped on to tbo first Ihie, and slipped, imd fell on to the second, and that broke and let ber through Into the tblrd. The •tber voices came id to pick ber up, and got Into

a graiitl wrangle, and the bcuw and thesoprano had it for a\»out ten necotids; but the soprano beat, (women always do), and tiie bam rolled down Into thop<)ih,r, iind tho noprano went up into thegarret, hut the lattur kept on tKiualilng as though thebasn, in Iwiving her, i«JMl torn out all lier twck hair. 1 f<?it Hn^rous aliout tlie 8f»prano, and looked Imck to we 1/slie hud feinted, but found h«r reclining in the ariiM of u young man who looked strong enougli to takti ftiro of her.

Now railnilt timt wecannotall havoHUch things in our cluircitcs. It costs like si.xty. In tho churcii of tii« iloly Uuukak it costs one liuiuired dollars tfj luive siimm; tliat cotmuunion piects—

Hut, if the prescription of new tunes doo« not end CTjngregational singing, 1 have anotlier sug-gestion. Oct an irreligious choir, and put them in H liigh ijalcony back of the congrcgntioh. I know clioirrt wiio are minle up chiffty of reiigloas people — or th(*«'), at least, rwpeotfui for sacretl things. Tlirtt will never do, if you want to kill the miwie.

SANITAKV.—The work of placing the city in tlrst-class sjinitary condition Is being pushed by the city authorities. Over two hundre<l hands are engaged in jiutting down .sewers, and it is proposed to have forty miles of pipe laid l»y the first or middle of April, It has been decided to remove all the old rotten Nicholson pavement, and macadamize tho streets with broken stone and Piiducah gravel. The work of removal Is to be completed before tho first of April, But little op-IHwitlon is encountere<l in carrying out the neces-saty sanitary reforms, and tax-payers are promptly paying the two per cent, sewer tax.

FOSSIL FOOTPHINTS IN ANTHRACITE. A T the last meeting of the Academy of Natural

Sclenctw, Ur, Joseph Leldy read a letter from Mr. W. Lorenz, Chief Engineer of the Phlladel-phla and Heading Railroad Company, referring to a fossil specimen presented to tho Academy by Mr. William D, 11. Mason, of Wllllamstown, Pa. The specimen is a mass of coal shalo with foot-prints, atid was discovered by tho donor at the Eilangowan colliery, In tho Mnhanoy coal field. Mr. Lorenz remarks thjit It la of special Interest as having beon the first Bpecimon of tho kind found In tho anthracite coal field. The specimen is an irregular slab, upwards of a foot long, and leas than half the breadth. The upper surfiico is ob-scurely ripple marke<l longitudinally, and is c r o ^ In a slant by seven tracks, which are in pairs, except one, in advanoo on the right. The four tracks on the right occupy a line of si* inches, and are about an inch and a half apart from those

r t lHE editor of tho Daplitt Record claims that to * require tho sanction of a church, before bap-tizing a candidate is a " New Landmark." I t has always been our idea tliat that was the old way, and the usual way among Baptists, and that the only claim ever pretendetl to be set up was In exceptional cases, where there was no church. The churches will hardly bo brought to see It in the light of this latter day theory, that is seeking to centraliK) power In the hands of minisfem. The example of the Pedobaptlst world no doubt has Impressed itself upon our people. But we are glad to seo that all Baptist iodltors do, not view the matter In the light of the editor of tho litcord. I find thb following In the VoHma^ and AteMcnger, quoting from the Alabama Baptht:

Dr. Renfroe, in the Alabama Jiaptitl, seems to SM it quite diflbnsntly from the Recorder, holding the view usually held by Baptists, and, as it seems to us, the true one. Ho says:

Under oldlnary circumstances mlnhten should not baptize without the voice of the church. To do so would be a new landmark. For mlntstets to

chunA, and baptlue people without the acUon of the church, would be a high-handed and dlao^ Sanleing bUBlneos. I t may be said that the ordina-

lon of tbe minislor glvtt him the aatboriisr of the church. This is true as touching all CM* that

Supiwse we grant tliat the previous lives of these young gentlemen were not entirely blameh««, that they had liewi given to dissolute ways. What U'tter method to reform the debauchetl than to l<rmg them to a Catholic Sunday picnic, where they can drink with gentleman and ilancn w ith ladles? What so well calculated to reform the impure heart, chasten the lascivious touch or cun* the h-er of the Iwherous eye, as the firiu gra.«p of, a l>itholic young lady's waist, And the whirl ami swing of Catholic crinoline at a t)atholic Sunday picnic? Our young hidies know how to b«i coy when coyness Is commemlable; Itut at a Catholic Sunday picnic they have tho power and the privi-lege to baiuLsh all a q u e a m l s h n e s s , and rising to the full height of tho religious emergency tlirow themselvttii Into the great work of converting «ven while whirling wayward young gentlemen.

We feel obliged to speak thew) few wools In de-fense of our young geutlemeu, as we fear that the abuse that has been heaped upon them during the iMttt week may deter them from further patroniz-ing our Gatholic picnics, a result that we. In c^jm-nion with many otheni of the clergy, would regard with unmixed regret. We have in our city thou-sands of vfiimir fHtntlnmnn to whom a nolf-r eous ant name of rowdies, tnugs, nooaiums, aenu in»uj nuu other unjust and oppioblous epithets; them we ask to assert their rwpectabllity and give the lie to their male mallgnera by attending all our OathoUc Sunday picnics.

A genend spirit of inquiry hafl been awakened —the subjects are being dlscusHetl, and Home have already yieldetl both Infinnt baptism and sprinkling, and the ijucfi-tion to-day on the streets seems to Ije, had not the church the right to cliange the primitive mode, as Dean Stanley puts It, to suit the convenience, taatefl and feelings of thesubject ? Good has already reHultM, and the final fruits of the Lec tu re we leave the pastor, Dr. McCants, to report.

The oolored Baptist church in this place nnndn-rs over 1,000 strong, and at their earnest rcfjuest we preached for theui last night. Tho pastor, J . A. Potter, like his co-laborer in TaUnhnsBle, Bro.

Two thousand dollars a year is fiftld out of the Htato Ti-easury for an annual erlltlon of tWs work for gratuilciUH circulation, imd |!1,0(I0 for thesalary of M r . French nnd his ah^IstantA. Tho lltllo pamphlet Is cli«gnntly gotten up, and einlMilllsheil with cutH of [ilaecs and natural wenei'y, nnd Im very attractive, and HIIMI with nsefni infommtion. Any one wish ing to nnderntond Florida, or lblnk-iiig of coining to Florida, Mlionid send to Mr. Frcncii, »t Jiicksonvilic, for a copy of this Iwioic. it IH WNT gratN.

One fciilurc of this work slrikcs ns, as It must every fair and thoughtful man, as imlicHting un-pardonuliie ucgligenw! or an act-of gross InJuMiice. Anxing tiie indnwrnonts held forth to InlUienfO iuiniigration to tiic Htate Is flie fact that thcnj are cinirclH's anil clmrcii privileges in Florida as well iw in oilier Hiati's. lljiiscopaiian imuilgnints are WHnt^il, and tiicreforo Mr. l-Vendi stiites tlie fact that there arc Hoventwn l'rot(wtanl ICiiiscopal ministrs, i)00 faniiiicH and l,ti(Kt communicants of (he i'rotestant Episcopal churcii, and that this church is liuving a .steady and healtiiy growtli in this Htifte. This is ail very well.

I'ri'sbytcrian innnlRrants are desirwi, and tliero-fore the coniniiHHioiinrsUUw that thi.s denomina-tion, before tho war, was large and Increasing, but since more or less imiMiverished, but now rwrover-ing aud increasing. That tJiere are now ilfleen ministers and 1,<M)(I communicants in tiu; State.

Metho<liMt immigrants are al«> dewirwl, ami one-fourtn of ft page is devoted to the M. E. churcli Houth, and plwisant things are- said of it,and its mfnirtters. He says, " T h e MetixMiisl denomina-tion in l<'lorida, as in most new and sparsely set-tled countries, has tlie same zcaioas activity and uaseltlsh preachers 'going about doing good;' Jt is one of tije largcwt in numtwrs and ;( iiaracter."

Now we anxiously look to see^ as every Bap-tist in America Jiaturally will, if there Is any Baptists in liio Htate, and if so, how many, etc.; l)ut we look ill vain —no mention la made of sucli a jK-ople or their statistlcg. The natural Implira tlon is tiiat tlicre is no such denomination of Chris-tians in tiie Htate, or if so it Is so Innignlficant and obscure that it is not worthy ol montipn, or so di.srepiitable in character that It would nol suh-serve the puriwses of this book to state that tiiey were in tiie State, or that , in the estimation of tlie honorable commissioner, such a class of immi-grantH was not desirable. H e can best explain iiis motive. I t was either ah intentional insult to liy far the largest denomination in tiie Siato, or it was most unpardonable negligence and indifference, which argues his disqualification for tlie oiHco ho holds. Had he cared 'In tho least to db e<|ual .ustice to tho JBaptists of Florida, ho could very easily have obtained thoir statistics from Eld p C a l l u m . the Baptist minister of bis own city, or from him he coulfihave learne<l that tlie Ameri-can Baptist Publication Hwiety, Philadelphia, publishwl ft Year-Book annually, which contained tho authentic statistics of thdHiate, and that i i ld. Waugh, of Oainesvliio, Fla. , is tho htatlstlclan for that Year-Book for the Stiito of Horlda .

Wo liavo no more lo say touching Iho commis-sioner nnd his motive or his quaimcatlon, only that his act Is an Insult to every Baptist In the Stale.

Hence we miiv wmi'liKlo that « llnito V i n g in a finite leiiL'lh of t ime could meet the finite |ionalty ol a Unite law, and that the world ilid not net-d the iutinlte Hon ol OIKI to l»e a Havior. Hence tiie dogma of unlvenwlism Is true and sinners could shout vie. tory tliroijgli tlie flames of iiell at last. But tlml Adam and Eve wew.created snbjwts of tia'-gov. crnmeiit of Ood, and hen(« of (he law of that gov-ej-niiient, there can Ihj no qntMUon ; and tliat tiie l awof tJod ' s Oovernment is infinite. 1 supiKW no s«ntvmin(|(^| tlieologlan will deny. And U follows logically that man, thougii finite, was made tiio subjw' lofan intinite law, which re<|uire«l inliulte olsHlience, \?iiich, if iH>rformed, would iiav" seemeii Inllnlte or eternal life. Hut Is'lng vioiattti Itsubjwteu its violator to an infinite iwnrtlty, lor none but an intinite jicnalty could lie attached to an inllnlte law. The l(iw being Inllnlte and the Irt-nalty intinite, tiie snir.'ring that meets tliat jienalty must of necessity be intinite. But man, iHdng linite, could nol meet that jienalty in any! tiling less than an Inliiiite Iwigtb of time. Honce the luHtwity of one wiio could suifer inllnlte suf-fering In a tinito length of tlnn«, to meet that p«'n-^ - m'-.'W. -Jl tliaiiVI

amounts to aliout tills: An inllnlte tieing hin meei the inUiiKe }>enalty of an Inllnlte law in a Unite time, while u finite lieing can meet the intinite Jienalty of, an inllnlte law in an inlinite ieuuth of lime. To deny tl'ie infinite suffering of Cliilst Is to say lie never met the jienalty of thelaw,ortlie|H>naity was not inlinite. To say lie did not meet the imn-alty is to deny his wlioie redemptive work.

I. J he sinner is obnoxious to inlinite siilloring, and therefore rininires an inllniteisacrillcc in order to atonement.

Tiie suffering in iiuinan nature alone for a limited iM»ri(sl wonlil be a Unite sa(!ri(ice, Iwause both the .sufferer and thi* perloil of suffering are linite.

Tlierefgre tiie suiruring of Christ in iiis liuman nature lUone would nol be a sntlicient atonement for sin.

How this conclusion can Is? avoided we are un-able to .see.

Our eye has Just fallen on tho following from Hr. Hhedd, than whom few have clejirer (wnceii-tlons of the Bible t ruth. Here Is wiiat lie pays: "Assuming then tliat there is a corrcfl|K)ndonco and corcflationship between liio moral constitu-tion of man nnd tlio Divine Nature, we procee<l In tho light of tlio fact, lo ovinco the floctrlne taught In the Scripture texts, which wo havo cited tliat Iho atonement of Christ is a real satis-faction both on tho part of Ood and man.

A GREAT WORK,

THERE are now 12,0(M),0<H) childnui of WJIIOOI ago on this contlnonl,as many childr«m as t here

were people fifty years ago. What a work it is to fit Ihojo qhlldren for virtuous living and secure to them tho blessed Immortality that mny follow this life, Uiion whom does this rcsiKinsibiiity rest? You say upoti tlio parents, I grant that primarily It Joes, Nothing can relievo liio parent of tho rwiponslblllty Of tho right training of the clilld. God has placed It there, and whether met or not tho reckoning will bo nil tho same, I^et no Chris-tian parent, thoroforo, seek to relievo hlnwilf of this work by committing It to tho Sunday-school, The Sunday-school cannot Inko the plnco of the parontal relations. Each parent should InlKir ns earnestly and constantly for tho spiritual welfare of his ofbpring an if no such an organlKatlon as tiio Sunday-flchool had'an oxlslenco.

But do not fall into tho mistaken, notions of many that this obligation ends with proner parental training. Of the 12,000,000 of children In thif cMinlry, how very few have Christian iwrents. Who Is to look after tholr moral training? Who Is

to lend them Into tho light of raving t ro th? Man-Ifestly It Is tho work of tho Sundoy-ochool.

It M aNlonlshtng to know how IltUo Bible rend-ni( nnd Blblo toaching Is done In tho nverago

American homo. ICven In p r o f o ^ l y Olirlsllah frtmllleH tho Blblo Is for the most part a sealed book. Tbo fact is, In this utllllArlan agOj pooplo study almJMt solely with roforenoo to pe(!unlnry irotit. Education Is (wtlmatod according to its

markotablo valuo In the deimrtmenf of life In which the Individual Is omployed. Knowlodge Is sought or negloctcd, according to whether or not It Is regarded as necessary to BUOCCHS In the iiuslness relations. Thoy <lo not consider tliftt knowlcHlge is to l>o sought because It h cflsentlal.lo tlie growth of manhood and womanhood, bocaiiho if contributes to the dovolopmont of wolf,' Tho con.sequence Is that tho groat innJorlly of Won have little desire t« know more than Is nlMolulely necessary lo fit them Yor SUCCOHS In thofcuMlncMS relations. ,

Now since Ibis Is so^in relation to socular knowl-edge, should wo bo surprised Ihnt It Is likewise so in re«|)ect to things Ihnt belong to Immortality? If tho llfoillmt now Is, which every day conlhints them with new nnd Intorostlng problems for solu* tlon, falls tonwnkon inquiry aud investigation, is it n matter of surprise that the unseen and eternal things of the spirit world should elicit In thorn no thought and no care? Is It Ihereforo a matter of surprise that in many famlilos olernlty should bo treatcHl ns nn unheard-of-country, nnd'tho Bible ns a revealwl liook?

Talk alioul it ns much ns wo may,'pr«ich against it ns wo should, Iho fact stIirremBinH thiit If Iho religious training of the children is left to the lionies of tho country, thousnnda of children will grow up without Christian culture.

Shall I not then bespeak the Hympathy and co-oiK>ration of overy Baptist In tho Stale In thoeffort of the Sunday-flchool Board to plant a Sunday-Bcho<il in every church and community in Tennes-see? Will not ail Sunday-school workers rally around us, and glvo liberally to sustain tho work? And will not overy church whore there Is none procee<l nt once to orgnnlze a Sunday-school ?

Tiiere nre two Ideas of atchurch. The first is tlint it Is a iKxIy of men and women, who come together at sbitetl times to lie worketl lipon by tho pastor. Tiie other and true idea Is that It Is a body )f Cliristian men nnd women, lovers of Jesus and

servants of Go<l, who come together tD work for .fcsiis, I trust; that all our churches will show (licnwe! v«J lo lie of the latter class. Come logotlier not only to receive, but to glvo; not only lo gel gofKl, but communicate It, J , M. Pnii j . iPH.

toHP^i flHlirlKhiH hluu^yed, dimpled Uttl« fellow Ha 6v«r trotted at u mother'* aide. But Willie liad tt djrmdful U»mpor. Many a scowl set-tled on hl» bonny Utow, and many a Jmnih woni f«)ll from hit pouting llpB. Full often did his ulster Kvft recolvo a blow from IiIh hand, which brought tim t«ttr» Into her gentle oyGB.

One day Wllllo and »he wtire playln); In the (fttrden, and VVllUc, having mught a buttertty, waH Impaling It on a Hharp plu, wlinn his flliiter r<»monBtratod, and told hlin It wtw yory crmJ; hut Wllllo only Iftughwl. Thou Kva trleil to re«iue the iioor Itwetf, and Willie, In a iMiiwion, »truelc h«r with hl« little clenchtHl list and cut her llp«. Thensho left hhn, and, crylug bitterly, went into a summer houm<, and nobbed herself to Bleep.

Then old Father Dromlo came and told her a story. Ha told her that onw, In a far away land, there lived a very ilerce and cruel giant, who would torture those he wiught, and sometimes even kill them, and that the {»eople of that land became very much afraid of him, and the king offered a reward to any knight who should kill the giant and rid the country of him.

Very many bravo and noblo men trie<i, hut all were driven U«ck either with hard words or hard blows; or, after being tortured, were thrown back on the road and left to die.

Mighty engines were ma<le to dwtroy the giant, but they had no power over him; wounds and blows he seemed to laugh at.

At last a very young knight offered to try and rid them of the monster, l i e was laughed at by the people as a silly l»oy, and none care<l to heli» him.

In the night he stU off alone to the giant's cattle. As he was going, ho met a fairy, who asketi him his mission.

" To slay the giant," wnfl the reply. " Nay, thou canst not do that," said the fairy; if thou wilt do as I tell thtv, thou mayest, per-

chance, put him to flight, and eventually drive him away altogether."

"Oh, tell me how, kind fairy," exclaimd the young knight.

" Throw aside thy sword and armor, and take In thy hand these swcet-scented lliicB of the valley, whose petals might vie with the snow in purity; and, when he shall comc forth in fury to crush thee, throw one of the flowers in his face, or at his breast, or In his path, and he will fall back ; and thus continue, making a throw for every thrust of his, and thou shalt surely conquer."

The fairy then placed the flowers in his hand, and vanished.

The young knight did as she commanded; and when the giant came U|K)n him with rage, ho gently threw a blossom In his path.

The giant sturabled, and then flashed and drew back.

The knight followed him up, strewing the ground around him with the fragrant floweni. until at Inst the giant Hung down his arms and fled.

Eva awoke, and thinking about her dream asked her nurse what It meant.

The ourmthought over the dream, and explained as follows :—

•'The glant'a name Is Bad Temper, which makes-itaelf a terror and a sorrow to all who are near. I t is not to be conquered by hard worda nor blows, but by kindness and gentle anawerlngs, which blunt Its sharp sword and break down its mighty strength. Little acta of klndnesB will soon put It to flight, as the swoot-nented flowers did the giant. And now, Eva, go and play with WIlHe."

Eva ran away to her brother, and a lltUe bird tellB me that now WUlIe and Eva are never apart, and that they never quarrel.

So much for a dream, little ones. Always re-member, "A soft answer tarneth away wrath,"

PAMILIARItY. ^FalltheHoaroosofbad maDn(mi,we know of ^ none go l t i l c aud pemlcloufl as the lloense of HamUlarltyTfhere Is no ono among oarnndetv,

Th« " J i m , " or "Charley," or Moliie," or P tony ," of tho young days of achool-llfe, remain the mme until they tottw into tho grave f ^ m old ago. Now, there may bo a certain amount of good-fellowship and homely frlendllneas In this kind of familiar addresH, but thcro Is not a particle of iMilltenovi In it. It is all very well, within a family or a circle of relatives, but when it Is carried ontslde It Is In-tolerable. The courteslea of llf« Are carried on at arm's length, and not In a familiar embrace. Evoty gentleman ha» a right to the tltlo, at least, of 'f Mister," atid every lady to that of Miss " or " Mistrflss," oven when the Christian name is useS. For an onlinary friend to addrww a married woman as " I>olly " or Mary," Is to take with her an unjianlnnable Illierty. It Is neither cour-teous nor honorable; In other words. It Is most unmannerly. We have known remarkable men, living for yturs under the blight of their familiarly-used first names—men whoso fortunes would have be®n nmde, or greatly meaded, by removing to stmie place whore they (fould have been ad-drcHsed wljli tho courtesy due to their worth, and been rid forever of the cheapening procorwos of famlllary, iliiw can a man lift hLs h«td uudt-r'the degradation of being eallod " Ham " by every man, young and old, whom he meet Inthestreet?

HULKS F<JIl WIXTEIl. TyjEVEIl loan with the back upon anything that

Is cold. Never iHjgin a journey until the oreak-fast has biHjn eaten. Never take warm drinks and then Immediately go out in tho cold air. Keep the back—especially botwwu the shoulder-blades —well covered ; also the chcat well protected, In sleeping In a cold room establish the habit of breathing through the nose, and never with tho mouth oiwn. Never go to beil with ctiUI or damp feet; always toast them b^ the fire ten or fifteen minutes before going to IhxI. Never omit regular bathing, for unless the skin is in active condition the cold will close the pores, and favor congestion or other diseases. After exercise of any kind, never ride In an oj»on carriage or near the window of a car for a moment; It Is dangerous to health and even to life. When hoarse, speak as little as potBlble until it Is recovered from, else the voice may bo permanently lost, or difficulties of tho throat 1)0 produced. Merely warm the back by a lire, and never continue keeping the Iwck exfnwed to heat after It has become comfortably warm. To do otherwise Is debilitating. When going from a warm atmosphere Into a colder one, keep the mouth closed, so that thn air mav be warmed by Its iwssage through tho nose, ere It reachca tho lungs. Never stand still in cold weather, especially after having taken a slight degree of exercise; and always avoid standing on Ice or snow, or whore the person Is expooed to a cold wind.

LITTLE UNREMEMBERED ACTH. Q N C E In one of the thousand streets of busy ^ London a man was walking whoso limbs seems nearly paralyzed. Old, poor, paralytic, he crept along so slowly that though after meeting him the narrator went several blocks on and made a purchase, yet as he returned, the poor man seemed to have got but a few stops on his way. Just before he reached him on his return, he saw him stop at a crossing, crowded with teams and carriages, many of them moving swiftly—a dan-gerous crossing for one like him. At this moment a man Just entering middle life, with an honest English face, strong, hearty, in a workingman's dress, was seen coming down the croas-atreet lyom I he life. As he came up he saw the dilemma of the poor paralytic, and without a word said, put one strong arm around him, and bore him swiftly through the throng of carriages to the mfe side, and then, without waiUag for a word of thanks, went on his way as if nothing had happened. A yery oommonpUoe incident, bat there was a lowon n It. Much of our service In this world may be

GLYCERINE CEMENT. p R O F E a S O k HIRZIL, of 'Leipzig, lias dls-^ coverwi au imfK»rtant use of glycerine, timt ought to be moro generally known, l ie finds tlmt when glycerine Is mixed with fine and well-dried lithanjft, it yields a cement that is capable of a krge number of applications.

All metals, and nearly all solid IxMlim, can l>e bound together by this cement, it is said to harden under water as readily as In the ojien air, and to resist a temperature of 500 degrees. It Is eBjieclally recommended for such pieces of apparatus as are exposed to the action of chlorine, hy«lr(whloric add, sulpurlc acid, sulphuroiw acul, and nitric acid; also the vajK)r of alcohol, ether and bis-ulphide of carbon—as none of these agents act upon It. Tho cement can boused In steam engim-s, pumps, foundations for machinery, and, finally, as a substitute for plaster in galvanic plastic anil elwtroplattng. The projwrtlon of glycerine and litharge to bo taken must depend on the desired consistency of the cemenf, and the purpose to which it Is to be applied. An excess of glycerine retards the setting,as It docs not readily evajwrate, while an excess of litharge will cause It to set very quickly.—iVbri^mi AdvoeaU,

H O U S E H O L D . M ince Mrat.—Mix together four pounds of

lean beef chopped fine, nine pounds of apples chopped flne, one and a fiali pounds of suet choi>-ped fine, three pounds of raldns, two pounds of currants, half pound of citron sUceti fine, live pounds of sugar, three teaspoonfuls ground cloves, ten teaspoonfuls ground cinnamon, five teaspoon-fuls ground mace, six tablaspoonfuls of salt, two quarts of cider and on6 quart of molasses. To this add the Jolcc and grated rinds of two lemons.

C i ;bta«d Pie—Beat the yolks of four eggs very light, then tho whites, then both together. BpllI a level tcacupful of sugar into the eggs and beat all well. Add gradually a quart of the richest milk, if it is half cream all the better, and stir thoroughly together, add a level teaspoonful of salt and a teaspoonful or more of any flavoring essence. If spice is used U should bo beaten into the egg before the milk or sugar is added to them. Put the deep pie plates (cover with paste before the eggs are beaten) Into the oven, and with a cup or ladle fill them carefully to tho rlnas. B ^ e till the costaid is firm. Cover if necessary with a (Msteboard or thick paper if the oven is too het,

I could not HiHiik longer than fifteen mlnu tm un-t i l l became very hoarse; but , with tbe Brace on, 1 can speaik wi th per-fect pu.se one h o u r : and, af ter 8(M%k-ing, 1 do not fu<>l tha t unnleaaantncM at my stomach tha t 1 did before using the Brace. I can aay that the Brace IH all that Ih claimed for i t ; and I would advise all awtdcers who feel fatigue and iRasitucie after speaking by all means to get them a Braoe, before they have to atop speaking, aa I had to do. I would not be without it for any connlderation.

I havo Riven the Brace a fair trial. I fiwl it all that is claimed for It. I would not take $100 for the right to tuie it. I hope that all my nunistering brethren will procure one.
