Tho natural plain of man’s life is low. Witness hia faults and failings. See him addicted to rum, gaming, lying, cheating, selfishness and sin. The iin- regenerate model man is hard to find, and when found is likely to prove a whited sepulchre. Disinterestedness, . love, sympathy, benevolence, philan- thropy and heaveniy-mindedness aro not indigenous to tbe soil of thohuman . heart and life, while selfishness and sin naturally have a rank growth. The sphere of Christ’s life is high. It is characterized by truth, honesty, love and apirituulity. • It rejects selfishness and aims'at the physical, moral and spiritual elevation of the race. Christ aims to extend tho wisdom of man from the narrow sphere of the present to the boiindless future-from earthly things • io the heavenly. To secure this he hes- itates not, though ho was ricii,. to be- come poor, to exchange heaven for earth, and lifo for death.. To como up from the lower plain of man’s lifo to the higher plain of Christ- lifo implies that the man shall himself become a uew creature, and experience a translation to a new creation. Some- time the change seems to be gradual, and is obtained by a long and severe struggle upward. Eminent men in the church have said tliat they know not the precise hourorday when the change was effected. Like the change from, night to day they could hot say just when it took place, it wao so gradually ■wrought, but they know that once it was night in their experience and now it is gtorious day. In certain cases years of toilsome, climbing have been required to reach the mount of vision. But it is not a necessity that so long ti time ahall be occupied in cominginto the possession of the new life. Sod’s purposes are often fulfilled by sudden creations. He in a moment spoke a world from naught, and in a moment creates souls anew in Christ JesuB, Bishop Scott speaks of his conversion as being like a lightning’s flash - and with many conversion is liko being in a room at midday, with shutters excluding the light so thoroughly that it is like the blackness,of midnight. There is a fed- ing around for the window, a slipping back of the bolt, Mid a throwing open of the shutters, when at once the glory of the midday is enjoyed—sometimes almost beyond endurance. But whether the change comes by gradual processes, or by instantaneous transformation, it is a new creation, accompanied by a joy unspeakable und full of glory, and a now life that makes the grace of God visible to a most carclesa observer. Where this is dooe it is it joy to Chris- tiana and thb angelic host, and a raira- acle'to sirifal trier. by which they aro convinced of the truth. It is just aa much a miracle aa tho curing of tho blind man, who said “ One thing know, whereas I was once blind, now I see.” Many believed through that testimony. It is just as much a miracle as the heal- ing of the lame man at the gate of the temple, who shouted, and leaped, and praised God. Men saw that there was Divino power in tho euro, and it resulted in &sudden revival, that exceeded the immediate effects ofthe baptism of Pen- tecost, These sudden transformations from darkness to light, from drunken- ness, rioting, reveling, lust, dishonesty, 8ci6shneaa and sin, to Christ-likencss, ara the convincing miracles of the nine- teenth century, that can and must be repeated to tlio ovorthrow of tho hosts of darkness, and to the disarming of infidelity. Skeptical reasoners can rea- son anything away, but these manifest- ations of Divine powor in tho now ere ation. A, new creature! Not ono patched up out of the old: repaired, repainted, improved j but a new creature. Many an old boiler patched up, explodes, and hurls mon, unwarned, into eternity. Many an old Bhip, repaired, lengthened, beautified and improved, goes to wreck and ruin in the firatstorm, and her pro cious freight is swallowed up in death. It is to bo feared that the church is too largely made up of patched, improved men and women, instead of new croa turcs. How many surprises by default* and crime we have in high places in Zion, They were not from , the new creatures in Christ, but from thoso that have been improijpd (?) by a rum. made religion, they had become “ satisfied” before God had done his work. In the lack of hew creatures .is the great hin- drance ofthe Gospel to day. 0 Spirit of God, breathe upon these yet dead forms—the spiritual mummies—atid make them live that they may glorify thee! Dear friends, do not re-t short of be - ing a new creature.- Let no profession, no ‘ sentimentalism, no place in the church beguile you. Go not ji dry, dead tree in tho orchard of Goo. Have true life. Bear the. leaf, and blossom, and fruit. Glorify God in evqry word, and thought, and deed. Work in every sphere. Make every moment tell for good. Let your light bo shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in hea- ven, and your reward shall be eternal lifo. The evening Bermpn was also by-the pastor on “ Awake thou that sleepest.” Eph. 5: 14.: It was u hiost earnest ap- peal to the ungodly to turn at once to Chrint, and to the Church to make ex ertions for the salvation of souls. thus, come night, come day, come sick- ness, come health, come what ill, the peace of God which "passeth all under' standing will keep.the Christian’s heart, and mind, through Jeans Christ,—Spur- geon. .Peace. The believer’s peace is like a river for continuance, Ldofi. at it, rising'as a little brook among the mosses of » lone greenhill; by and by it leaps.as a rugged cataract; anon it flows' along that , fair galley, Where the red deer wanders and the child loves to play- - with bum of pleasant music the, brook turn;) she village mill. Hearken to ita changeful hum as it ripples o’er its peb- bly bed, or leaps adown tho wheel or sporta in eddies where the trees bend down tlieir branches to kiss the cur- rent. Anon the streamlet has become a river, and beans upon its -flood full many a craft. Then its bosom swells, bridge? with noble ii'rclies span it, and, grown, vaster, still, it becomes a stream broad enough to be art arm of old father ocean, pouring its water-floods into the mighty 'main. The! river abides' tlio lajwo of ages; it is uo evanescent, mov- ing cloud er transient rain flood, but iu all its stages it is permanent. •• Men may come and men may go, .. But I flow on forever." Evermore, throughout all genera- tions, the river speedeth lo ils destined place, Sucli is the peace of the Chris- tian. Helins always reason for com- fort. He lias not a consolation like a swollen torrent, which is dried up un- der tho hot sun of adversity; but pejica is hi£ rightful possession at all times. Ever is the river in its place. And even What the Word doss for Us, "W hen thougoest, it shall load theo; When thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakcat, it shall talk with thee.” The context shows that the allusion is to the word of God, for tho cdmmsuidment of a father, and the law of a mother, in order to be binding upon the heart, riiust be based on the commandment and last bf God,.re- vealed. in the: w ord,“ For tha com- mandment,” it in added, “ isa lamp, and ihe law is light; and reproofs of instruc tion are th» way of life.” Elsewhere we read," Thy word is a lamp unto, my feet and a light unto my path,” and "ihe entranceof thy words giveth light;' it giveth understanding to the simple.” (P«s. 30: 105,130). The word of God, theii, does for us' far more than any. earthly father and mother can do; leading us when we go, keeping.to when wo sloop, talking with us when wo awake. The time comes when, oid arid feeble, iliey can no longer lead us; the time comes when, however tender their aoiicitude, they miist, seek fafreshriient in sleep, or lie down in the slumber of the grave; the timo comes when their voice will be silent io the tomb; "lor all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and ihe flower thereof faHeth away ; but the word of the Lord enduretli fbrover. ‘And this is the word by which tire gospel is preached unto yon.” (1 Pet 3 ; 24,.25;), Blessed be God, .while all around os ass dying, our Ohristeaa never die ; nor can his word, which is as fresh, and strong, and true, and persons' to. our- selves to-day, as it. was when it fell from his lips, or came forth in' its immortal- ity from holy men of old, who spake and wrote as they were moved 'by the Holy Ghost. “ AH Scripture isgiyen by inspiration' of God; and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the rrsn of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” (2Tim. 3 : 16,17.) What father or mother can do this for us ?■ “ When thou goeat, it shall iaatf thee.” If we are told that “ 03 many as are led by the Spirit of God; they aro the sons of God " (Rom. 8- 14)i‘(ttsd “ ifye be led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law” (Gal: 5: 18), we must not forget that the Spirit leads only by the word. “ When thou aleop- est, it shall keep thee.” In defenseless hours “ tho peace of God, which passetb all understanding, shall keep- your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4 :7 ); nnd in dangerous hours we “ are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time” (1 P et l : p) ; but the peace "comea from the word, and- the ■faith rsate entirely upon -the word, “ When thou walkest, it shatj talk with thee.” When Jesus revealed himself in the Bible to, the two disciples on the way to Emmaus “ the}- said one to an - other, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by tho way, and while he opened to . us the Scrip- tures -On the evening of the same, day.he appeared to ,the'.assembied.dia- ciples, and " then opened he . their un- derstanding, that they mightiimlerstand the Scriptures” (Luke 24:'32,'45). This is precisely what we need, theScripturcs opened, arid the understanding Opened, that .we rnay unilenitaud theScriphires; and thus it is lie talks with us day by day, expounding to us in nil the Scrip- tures the thing:, concerning himself, when we are awake. It is not strange that tbo Holy Ghost says to us, “ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly” (Col. 3: 10). Tiie Greek term here used means “ lo keep house in,” ■ as if the Spirit of God dc-. sired the word of Christ “ to keep house in us, and not to come on occasional visite, like a fashionable call in the morning and evening. “ Thy testimo- nies,” says tbe P^uimisi. “ also are my delight, and mv counselors,!’ or its it is in the margin, “ men of counsel” (Psa. 99: 24), Wo heed this divine and uti- erring counsel, not only every day; but every hour; and it is always ready at each step of our journey to show lis juet what we ought to do, and to say, and to think. It ia our only safeguard amid the innumerable perils that beset our pathway, and it is the privilege of every believer to exclaim, “ Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee” (Psa. 90 :11).—The Truth.

Tlieao things make up the descipieship, The same truth applies' to many things. Tlio best paintings are those where , such details aa the blades of, griu», the leaves,of' the trees, the lines upon tho water, and similar minute points sire moat. perfectly de- liiieated. Artistic excellency consists chiefly in tho complete accuracy which the slothful or. the, ignorant w.Orkor. cannot or .will', not ^accomplish.; The. great Italian sculptor,. Michael Angelo, was once visited by an .acquaintance,, who remarked, on entering his studio, • Why, you have dono nothing to that figure ainco I was here last.” “ Yes,” was the reply; “ I have softened this expression, touched oil' that projection, and made other improvements;” “Oh! said tho visitor, “those are more trifles.” “ True," answered .Michael Angelo; but remember that trifles make per- fo'ction j and perfection is no trifle.’’ Iii }ike manner the highest forms of de- votion to Christ consists in fidelity in apparent trifles. For only heartfelt love and abiding recollection of him as an ever beloved object, will enable his disciples to maintain throughout cnch day, in word and company, in busy oc- cupation anil before his enemies, tho duty of honoring him thus continuous- ly and in the whole details of life.—Lon- don liecord.

A, new creature! N ot ono patched up out of the o ld : repaired, repainted, improved j but a new creature. Many an old boiler patched up, explodes, and hurls mon, unwarned, into eternity. Many an old Bhip, repaired, lengthened, beautified and improved, goes to wreck and ru in in the firatstorm , and her pro cious freight is swallowed up in death. I t is to bo feared th a t the church is too largely made up of patched, im proved m en and women, instead of new croa turcs. How m any surprises by default* and crime we have in high places in Zion, They were not from , the new creatures in Christ, but from thoso that have been improijpd (?) by a rum. made religion, they had become “ satisfied” before God had done his work. In the lack of hew creatures .is the great h in ­drance o f th e Gospel to day. 0 Spirit of God, breathe upon these yet dead forms—the spiritual m um m ies—atid m ake them live that they m ay glorify th e e !

Dear friends, do not re-t short of be­ing a new creature.- Let no profession, no ‘ sentim entalism , no place in the church beguile you. Go not ji dry, dead tree in tho orchard o f Goo. H ave true life. Bear the. leaf, and blossom, and fruit. Glorify God in evqry word, and thought, and deed. W ork in every sphere. Make every m om ent tell for good. Let your light bo shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your F ather who is in hea­ven, and your reward shall be eternal lifo.

The evening Bermpn was also by-the pastor on “ Awake thou that sleepest.” E ph. 5: 14.: I t was u hiost earnest ap­peal to the ungodly to turn a t once to Chrint, and to the Church to m ake ex ertions for the salvation of souls.

thus, come night, come day, come sick­ness, come health, come w hat ill, the peace of God which "passeth all under' standing will keep.the Christian’s heart, and mind, through Jeans Christ,—Spur­geon.

.Peace.

The believer’s peace is like a river for continuance, Ldofi. a t it, r ising 'as a little brook am ong the mosses of » lone g re e n h ill; by and by it leaps.as a rugged cataract; anon it flows' along th a t , fair galley, Where the red deer wanders and the child loves to play- - with bum of pleasant music th e , brook turn;) she village mill. H earken to ita changeful hum as it ripples o’er its peb­bly bed, or leaps adown tho wheel or sporta in eddies where the trees bend down tlieir branches to kiss the cur­rent. Anon the stream let has become a river, and beans upon its -flood full m any a craft. Then its bosom swells, bridge? with noble ii'rclies span it, and, grown, vaster, still, i t becomes a stream broad enough to be art arm of old father ocean, pouring its water-floods into the mighty 'm ain . The! river abides' tlio lajwo of ages; it is uo evanescent, mov­ing cloud e r transient rain flood, but iu all its stages it is perm anent.

•• Men may come and men may go,. . But I flow on forever."

Evermore, throughout all genera­tions, the river speedeth lo ils destined place, Sucli is the peace of the Chris­tian. H elins always reason for com­fort. H e lias not a consolation like a swollen torrent, which is dried up un­der tho ho t sun of adversity; but pejica is h i£ rightful possession a t all times. Ever is the river in its place. And even

What the Word doss for Us,"W h en thougoest, it shall load theo;

When thou sleepest, i t shall keep thee; and when thou awakcat, it shall talk with thee.” The context shows that the allusion is to the word of God, for tho cdmmsuidment of a father, and the law of a mother, in order to be binding upon the heart, riiust be based on the com m andm ent and last bf G od ,.re­vealed. in the: w o r d ,“ For tha com­m andm ent,” it in added, “ isa lamp, and ihe law is lig h t; and reproofs of instruc tion are th» way of life.” Elsewhere we re a d ," Thy word is a lam p unto, my feet and a light unto my path ,” and " ih e entranceof thy words giveth light;' i t giveth understanding to the simple.” (P«s. 30 : 105,130).

The word of God, theii, does for us' far m ore than any. earthly father and m other can d o ; leading us when we go, keeping.to when wo sloop, talking with us when wo awake. The tim e comes when, oid arid feeble, iliey can no longer lead u s ; the tim e comes when, however tender their aoiicitude, they miist, seek fafreshriient in sleep, or lie down in the slum ber of the g rav e ; the timo comes when their voice will be silent io the tom b; " lo r all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of m an as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and ihe flower thereof faHeth away ; bu t the word of the Lord enduretli fbrover. ‘A nd this is the word by which tire gospel is preached unto yon.” (1 P e t 3 ; 24,.25;),

Blessed be God, .while all around os ass dying, our O hristeaa never die ; nor can his word, which is as fresh, and strong, and true, and persons' to. our­selves to-day, as it. was when it fell from his lips, or came forth in ' its im m ortal­ity from holy men of old, who spake and wrote as they were moved 'by the Holy Ghost. “ AH Scripture isgiyen by inspiration' o f God; and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, th a t the r rsn of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” (2Tim. 3 : 16,17.) W hat father or m other can do this for us ?■ “ W hen thou goeat, it shall iaatf thee.” I f we are told that “ 03 m any as are led by the Spirit of God; they aro the sons of God " (Rom. 8- 14)i‘(ttsd “ i f y e be led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law” (Gal: 5 : 18), we m ust not forget that the Spirit leads only by the word. “ W hen thou aleop- est, it shall keep thee.” In defenseless hours “ tho peace of God, which passetb all understanding, shall keep- your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4 : 7 ) ; nnd in dangerous hours we “ are kep t by the power o f God through faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last tim e” (1 P e t l : p) ; bu t the peace "comea from the word, and- the ■faith rsate entirely upon -the word, “ W hen thou walkest, it shatj talk with thee.” W hen Jesus revealed himself in the Bible to, the two disciples on the way to Em m aus “ the}- said one to an­other, Did no t our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by tho way, and while he opened to . us the Scrip­tures -On the evening of the same, day.he appeared to ,the'.assembied.dia- ciples, and " then opened he . their un­derstanding, th a t they m ightiim lerstand the Scriptures” (Luke 24:'32,'45). This is precisely what we need, theScripturcs opened, arid the understanding Opened, that .we rnay unilenitaud theScriphires; and thus it is lie talks with us day by day, expounding to us in nil the Scrip­tures the thing:, concerning himself, when we are awake.

I t is not strange that tbo Holy Ghost says to us, “ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly” (Col. 3 : 10). Tiie Greek term here used means “ lo keep house in ,” ■ as if the Spirit of God dc-. sired the word of Christ “ to keep house in us, and not to come on occasional visite, like a fashionable call in the m orning and evening. “ Thy testimo­nies,” says tbe P^uimisi. “ also are my

delight, and mv counselors,!’ or its i t is in the margin, “ men of counsel” (Psa. 99: 24), W o heed this divine and uti- erring counsel, not only every day; but every hour; and it is always ready a t each step of our journey to show lis juet what we ought to do, and to say, and to think. I t ia our only safeguard amid the innum erable perils th a t beset our pathway, and it is the privilege of every believer to exclaim, “ Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I m ight not sin against thee” (Psa. 90 :11).—The Truth.

• The annual meeting was held in New ark, in Rev. Dr. Findley's church, Nov. 1 1 and 1 2 , with a full attendance o f del­egates from county alliances and other tem perance organizations, and from various churches in different parts of the State.

The annual report of the secretary, Rev. George K. Morris, gave a hopeful and encouraging account of the progress of the work during the past year, show­ing a healthful increase in interest and development of tem perance sentim ent.

The following were among the resolu­tions adopted: ' ' ' .

W h e r e a s , I t is fully demonstrated and admitted tha t three-fourths o f the crime arid crim inal costs, and a very large proportion of the taxes of our State, are.directly • or indirectly the re- suit of the traffic in intoxicating liquors . Resolved,.^That We ask tlieXegislature

to pass a general lociil option law which shall prohibit the m anufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors as a bevemge.

Reaiilvcd, That, a special com m ittee (if fi ve be a p poin ted, who, together with the president and corresponding secre­tary of this Alliance, shall be railed the Central Legislative Committee.

Mr. B artram , of Paterson, urged the importance of a constitutional amend­m ent, and suggested for generalf. circu­lation throughout the State the follow­ing form of-petition to the Legislature:To the Senate and Assembly o f the State of

New Jersey : .The undersigned voters of the. State

of New Jersey, resident* of — countj% respecifuliy and earnestly pray your honorable body to adopt and subm it for ratification to the voters of the State, at the annual election in November, ISSi, as duly and legally provided, ex-, cept lor the purposes of medicinal, me­chanical, scientific, or art purposes, the m anufacture and sale of all distilled or fermented liquors within the jurisdic­tion of the State.

I t was resolved to iesuc a ca.ll to th e : Sunday committees of the various relig­ious bodies of th e State, asking them to joi n . in a protes t ’ aga i n s t in t e rfe rence with the Sunday law by th e Legislature.

D uri ng ■the .several sessions add t esses were delivered hv th e ! President o f the Alliance, Rev. Dr. A ik m an ; Theodore L.

ei rest)lution was adopted favoring the intrpductiori of Dr. R ichardson 's‘‘Tem ­perance Leason Book” '.in the public schools; .also a; memorial to Congress to be signed by the ofticers of th e 'A lli­ance, asking for: a National Conimission of Inqu iry concerning the alcoholic tiquor traffiCv - ;

A vote of thanks was adopted-w ith great unanim ity expressing to Rev. G. K. Morns, Corresponding Secretary, the hearty appreciation of the Alliance of! the ability and fidelity with which his duties have been discharged.

The following officers were elected for the ensuing y e a r: President,. Ilev. R. A ikm an * Cor.Sec’y, Rev. G. K. Morris; Rec. Sec’y, J . M. M orris; Treas. I I . B. H ow ell; Kxeciitive Committee, J . B.

’ Trifles,

The best fidelity to Christ ia shown in a daily vigilant service to him in trifles, in efforts to S bnor hiiii in humble, inconspicuous services,'such as in gqodbeinper in families, sym pathy with m an and beast, honesty 'in busi­ness, liberality to servants; fidelity to employers. Tlieao things m ake up the descipieship, The sam e tru th applies' to m any things. Tlio best paintings are those where , such details aa the blades of, griu», the leaves,of' the trees, the lines upon tho water, and sim ilar m inute points sire m oat. perfectly de- liiieated. A rtistic excellency consists chiefly in tho complete accuracy which the slothful or. the, ignorant w.Orkor. cannot or .will', no t accomplish.; The. great Ita lian sculptor,. Michael Angelo, was once visited by an .acquaintance,, who remarked, on entering his studio,• Why, you have dono nothing to that figure ainco I was here last.” “ Yes,” was the rep ly ; “ I have softened this expression, touched oil' that projection, and made other improvements;” “Oh! said tho visitor, “those are more trifles.” “ T rue," answered .M ichael Angelo;

but rem em ber th a t trifles make per- fo'ction j and perfection is no trifle.’’ I i i }ike m anner the highest forms of de­votion to Christ consists in fidelity in apparent trifles. For only heartfelt love and abiding recollection of him as an ever beloved object, will enable his disciples to m aintain throughout cnch day, in word and company, in busy oc­cupation anil before his enemies, tho duty of honoring him thus continuous­ly and in the whole details of life.—Lon­don liecord.

Despondency Powders,

Some one who writes over ihe noni dc plume, “Abou Ben Adhem” says: The blues, or despondency, may. be cured by use of the follotying pow ders: Re­member,

1. T hat "the blues,” or despondency,- . .-suit from lack of faith and, submission enough to say “ Though Ho slay me, yet will I trust in h im .” •

2 . - That I have-more .than I deserve.3. That I have more than my Mas­

ter.—He had not where to lay his head.4. T hat active sym pathy with others

or helping them when they are in trou­ble, is one of the best helps for my own trouble. ’

5. That active, persistent, prayerful attention to work in the church and Sabbath-achooi helps to give relief.

0. . That niy F ather’s wisdom, and love, and power pledge all things , to work for my good, if I so love and trust him ns truly to try to do and to suffer his will—to pray. l*Thy will be done ” in my heart aa well as with my lip3 . .

7. T hat in the clear Hcht of eternity^ disappointments and afllictions will be seen to have often been God's m ost merciful m eans to.answer m y p rayer: "d e liv erits from evil.” .

S. ‘ That none of m y fellow men have used . me s<> badly as- I have, used my Heavenly Father. . ■■ k

9. Tn* to th ink , speak :and ac t as Jesiis would, if in m y place.

10. Remember, fmalii*; tha t daily Bible study, and a constant spirit of prayer, are the lenses through which to aee all this clearly, and to get all wis­dom and strength needed to secure the best of all th is for yourself; ' :

Rev J. H . Hargia in securing the services of Bishop Simpson for the re­opening of the Paul street Church, Frankford, not only secured a good ser­mon, but had President Hayes and wiie to give eclat to the occasion. These worthy persons, when the collection was taken, showed thoir careful Motho- distic training by liberal contributions.

I t was thought to be an adventurous move on tho part of Bro. H at^is, con­sidering tiie times, to involve the m oth­er church of Frankford in an outlay of $15,000 for remodeling Ac., b u t such a spirit o f enterprise and liberaiity was rarely seen among a people. By last Sunday the whole am ount was reported raised. Dr. FoWler, Dr. Hanlon, Rev.S. H. C. Smith and others took p a r t in the services of re-dedicatiun, Which will not close until the editor of T he Rec- OitD shall also have the honor to o c c u p y the pulpit. •

■Death has visited several parsonages of late, and sorrow has .gathered over the families bereaved. Following the- announcem ent of Bishop Scott’s wife’s death at her Delaware honje, cam e tho news tha t Ilev. J. S. Cooke, of PottaviUe, Pa., was called to m ourn the loss of his excellent and wid«iya5feteem ed com­panion. H er funeral took place from W estern Church, Philadelphia. Added lo the above, we regret to hear of tlio death of Em m a, tbe young and beloved wife of Kev. J. I). Fox, a iady of deep pietv and rare adaption to tho pastoml work. She was laid to rest n ea r Ches­te r,P a .,

In "egard io tiie condition of Kev. Dr. D^u-hiell, Dr. Porter gave the , 'preachers' meeting some • information on Monday, saying th a t hia recovery was beyond hope, b u t ho was cheerful and happy in the prospect of dying. A committee, with i)r. W arren as chair ' man, was appointed to prepare and for­ward biin a letter of sym pathy on fie- half of the meeting.

At Broad St., Dr. M urphy’s church, after union services with Salem, Elev­enth street, and Eighteenth St. charges, on Thanksgiving day, the .Sabbath- scbool had a good lime in the evening, a box o f ’candy and tempting apples being handed tb every scholar. We have heard, iii connection With this en­tertainm ent, only one regret, and that was in regard to the semi-profane char­acter of some of the recitations deliv­ered. We-wonder that such an :em i­nently orthodox, church as Broad ami C'bristian Hboiild tolerate undue levity.

The Un- Tegensrate model man is hard to find, and when found is likely to prove a whited sepulchre. Disinterestedness, love, sympathy,,’benevolence, philan­thropy and heavenly-niindednesa are not indigenous to ihe seil of the hum an apart arid life, while selfishness and sin naturally have a rank grow th.:. ■

The sphere o f Christ’s life is.high. .It '. is characterized by .truth; honesty, love ' and Bpilituality. I t rejects selfishness and aims a t tho physical, moral and spiritual elevation of the race. Christ aim s to extend tho wisdom of man from the narrow sphere of the present to the boundless future—from earthly things to the heavenly. To secure this ho hes­itates not, though ho was rich, to be­come poor, to exchange heaven for earth, and life for death.

To come up from tho lower plain of man s life to the highor plain of Christ- life implies that the m an shall himself bccomo a now creature, and oxpcriende a translation to a new creation. Some­time the change seems to bo gradual, and is obtained by a long and severe struggle upward. E m inent men in the church have said th a t they know not the precise hourorday when the change was effected. L ike tho change from n ieh t to day thoy could not say just when it took placo, it was so gradually wrought, bu t they know that once it was night in their oxperionce and now it is glorious day. In certain cases years of toilsome climbing havo been required to reach the m ount of vision.

- But it is not a necessity th a t so long a tim e shall bo occupied in coming into the possession of tho new life. God’s purposes are often fulfilled by sudden creations. H e in a m om ent spoke a world from naught, and ih a m om ent creates souls anew in Christ Jesus Bishop Scott Bpofiks of hiB conversion at. being like a lightning's flush; and with m any conversion is liko being in a room a t midday, with shutters excluding tho light so thoroughly that it is like tho blackness of midnight. There is a fool­ing around for tho window, a slipping back of tho bolt, and a throwing open of the shutters, whon at once the glory of tho midday is enjoyed—som etim es almost beyond endurance. B ut whother tho change comes by gradual processes,

•or by instantaneous transformation, it is a new creation, accompanied by a joy unspeakable, and full of glory, and a now life that makes tho grace of God visible to a most careless obsorver. W here this is dono it is a joy to Chris­tians and the'angolio host, and a mira- iiole-to sinful then by 'w hich they aro

convinced of tiie truth. I t is jiist as much r. miracle as the curing of the blind man, who said “ Ono thing know, whereas I was once blind, now I see.” Many believed through that testimony. I t is just as much a miracle as the heal­ing of the lame m an a t the gate of the temple, who shouted, and leaped, and praisod God. • Men saw that there waa Divino powor in tho euro, and it resulted in a sudden revival, that exeoeded the immediate effects of tho baptism of Pen­tecost. These sudden transformations from darkness to light, from drunken­ness, rioting, reveling, lust, dishonesty, selfishnesBand sin, to Christ-likeneas, ar# the convincing miracles of the nine­teenth century, th a t can and m ust bo repeated to tho overthrow of tho hosts of darkness, and to tho disarming of infidelity. Skeptical reasohors can rea­son anything away, but these manifest­ations of Divine powor in the new cre­ation.

A.new crea tu re! Not ono patched up out of tho o ld : repaired, repainted, improved ; but a new creature. Many an old bqilei patched up, explodes, aiid hurls, men, unwarned, into eternity. Many an old ship, repaired, lengthened, beautified and improved, goes to wreck and ru in in tho firststorm, and her pre­cious freight is swallowed up in death. I t is to bo feared th a t tho church is too largoly made up of patched, improved men and women, instead of now crea­tures. H ow m anyBurpriscsby defaults and crime we havo in high places in Zion. Thoy wero not from th e new creatures in Christ, biit from thoso tha t havo been improved (?) by a m an-m ade religion, they had. become “ satisfied” before God had done his work. - I n the lack of new creatures is the great hin-. drance of this Gospel to day. 0 Spirit of God, breathe upon these! yet dorid forms—tho spiritual mummies—and mako thom live that they may glorify th e e 1

Dear friends, do not re-t short of be­ing a now creature. Let no profession, no sentimentalism, no place iu the bluirch beguile you. Ho not a dry, dead tree in tile orchard of God. H ave true life.- Bear the leaf and blossom, and fruit. Glorify God in every word, and thought, and deed. W ork in every sphere. . Make every' m om ent tell for good. L et your light so shino before men th a t they may seo your good works, and glorify your Father .who is ih hea­ven, iind your reward shall tie eternal life. /'•

Tho evening sermon was also by the pastor on " Awake thou that sleepest.” E p h .S : 14. I t was a most earnest ap­peal to tho ungodly lo turn a t once to Christ, and to the Church to make ex­ertions for the salvation ,of souls.

Peace.Tho believer's peace ia like a river

for continuance. * Look a t it, riaing as a little brook itmong the moases of a, lone green h ill; by aud by it leaps as a rugged, cataract; anon it flows along that fair valley, where tho red deer wanders and the child loves to play— with hum of plenaant music the brook turns tho village mill. H earken to its changeful hum as it ripples o 'er its peb­bly bed, or leaps adown the wheel or sports in eddies where tho trees bend down tlieir branches to kies tho Cur­rent. Anon the streamlet has become a river, and bears upon its flood full many a craft. Then its bosom swells, bridges with noble arches span it, and, grown vastor still, it becomes a stream broad enough to bean arm of old father ocean, pouring its wator-llobds into the mighty , main. Tbo rivor abidvs tbo lapso of ages; it ia no ovancaeont, mov­ing cloud or transient raiu flood, but in all its singes it is perm anent.'

“ Men may como and men may go,But I flow on forever.'.’

Kvormore, throughout all. genera­tions, the river speedeth to ils destined placo. Such ia the peace o f the Chris­tian. He lnw always reason for com­fort. H o has no t a consolation like a swollen torrent, which is dried up un­der tho hot sun of adversity; but peace is hi^ rightful possession at all times. Ever is tho river in its place. And oven

thus, como niglit,f come day, come sick­ness, come health, come what will, the

.pea^e of God which''pnsseth all under­standing will keep tlio Christian's heart and mind, through Jesus Christ.—Spur: Ijeon. •

What tho Word doss for Us,

“ W hen thou goest, it shall lead th eo ; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.” The context shows that the allusion is to the word of God, for the com m andm ent of a father, and the law of a mother, in order to be binding upon the heart, m ust be based on. .the com m andm ent and . law. of God, re­vealed in the word. “ For the com­m andm ent,” i t. is added; “ is a lam p, aud the law is l ig h t; and reproofs Of instruc­tion are the way of life.” Elsewhere we read, "T h y word is a lam p unto my fefit and a light unto m y path,” and "(lie entrance of thy words giveth light; i t giveth understanding to the simple.” (P sa .30 : 105,130).

Tho word of God, then, does, for us fur more than any earthly father and m other can do ; leading us whon we go, keeping us When wo sleep, talking with ns whon wo awake. Tho tim e comes whon, old and feeble, they can no longer lead lis; tho time comes whon, however tender their solicitude,, they m ust seek refreshm ent in.sleep,' or fie down in' the slum ber of the g rav e ; the time comes when their voice will be silent in the tom b; " ior all;flesh is as grass, aiid .ill the glory of m an as the flower of grass. The grass withercth, and tho flower thereof falleth away; hut tho word of the Lord endureth forever. And this is the word by which the" gospel is preached unto you.” (1 Pet. 1: 24, 25.)

Blessed be God, while all around us aro dying, our Christ can never die; nor can his Word, which is ns fresh, and strong, and (rue, and personal to our­selves to-day, as it was wlion it fell from his lips, or came forth in its im mortal­ity from holy men of old, who spake and wrote as they were moved by the Hojy Ghost, “ All Scripturo is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, th a t the main of God may be .perfect,thoroughly furnished nnto 'ai! goodworks." (2Tim„ 3 :. 10,17.) W hat father or m other'can do this for us 1 “ W hen tho u - goest, it sha.11 lead thee.” I f we are toid that

ss m any as nro . led by she Spirit of God, they aro Uio sons of God ” (RoiiV, 8 ; 14); and " i f ye be led by tlio Spirit, yo aro no t under tho law” (Gal. 5 : 18), we m ust not forget th a t the Spiritlends only by the word. “ W hen thou sfeep- est, it shall keep thee.”. In defenseless* hours “ tho peace of God, which pnsseth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4 : 7 ); and in dangerous hours wo “ aro kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, ready to bo revealed in the lost tim e” (1 Pet. 1: 5); bu t the peacs comes from tho word, and the faith rests entirely upon tho word. “ W hen thou walkest, it shall talk with thee.” W hen Jesus revealed himself in tho Bible to the two disciples on tho way to Emnm us “ thoy said one to an­other, Did not our heart burn within us, whilo ho talked with us by.the way, and while he opened to us the Scrip­tures?” On the evening pf the.sam e day iio appeared to the assembled dis- ciplcs, and “ tilcn dpoued ho their un­derstanding, that they m ight umlorslumi tho Scriptures” (Luke 2-i: J!S, 45). This is precisely what weneed.thoSeriptuiys opened, and tlio understanding opened, that Wo may understand the Scriptures; and thus it is lie talks with its day by day, expounding to us in all' tho Scrip­tures the things concerning himself, when We aro awake.

I t is not strange that tiie Holy Ghost says to us, 11 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly" (Col..!!: j|fi). Tho Greekdorm here used means “ to keep house in ,” ns if the Spirit of find' ‘de­sired tho word of Christ “ fo keep houso in os, and not to come .on occasional visits, like a fashionable call in the morning and evening. “ Thy testimo­nies,” says tho Psalmist, " also aro niy

delight, and my counselors," or ns i t is in the margin, “ rnon of counsel" (Pan, 09; 24). Wo need.this divino nnd un­erring counsel, not only 'every day, but every hour; and it is always ready at each step of our journey to show us ju st what wo ought to do, and to say, and to think. ‘ I t is our only safeguard amid the innumerable perils that beset our pathway, and it is the privilege of every believer lo exclaim, " Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee" (Psa. 09 :11 ).— The Truth.

New Jersey State Temperance AlH- : ance.

The annual meeting ivris held in New­ark, in Rev. Dr. Findley’s church, Nov. 11 arid 12, with a full attendance Of del­egates from county allinnccB nnd other temperanco organizations, nnd from various churches in different parts of the Slate.

The annual report of the secretary, Rev. George K. Morris, gave a hopeful and ericotwigingaccount of the progress of the work during the past year, show­ing a healthful increase in interest and development of letnperanco.sentiment.

The following were among the resolu­tions adopted:

W h e re a s , I t is fully demonstrated and admitted that three-fourths of the crime and criminal costs, and a very large, proportion of tlio taxes of our State, are directly or indirectly tho re- sult.of the traffic in intoxicating liquors;

Itemhcd, T h a i .i special committee of fivo bo appointed, who, together with the president and corresponding secre­tary of this Alliance, shall bo railed tho Central Legislative Committee..

Mr, Bnrtram, of Paterson, urged the importance of a constitutional amend­ment, atid suggested for general circu­lation throughout tho State tho follow­ing form of petition to the Legislature;To the Seriate and Assembly of the Slate nf

I t was resolved to issue a call to tiie Sunday committees of tho various relig­ious bodies of the Stnte, asking them to join in a protest against interference with tho Sunday law by the Legislature:

During the.several sessions addresses were delivered by the President of. the Alliance, Rev. Dr. Aikman ; Theodore L. Cuyler, D.D.; Rev. 1). C. Babcock, of Philadelphia, !! “ Review of Dr. SeliafV on Temperance” ; Rev."Dr.. Mcllvaitie; J. B. G.raW, D.D., on “ The H our and its Responsibilities"; Mr.. A. M.

Trifles..

The be3 t fidelity to Christ is shown in a daily vigilant service to h im in trifles, in ellorts to.- honor him in humble, inconspicuous services, such as in good tem per in families, sym pathy with man and benst, honesty in busi-: ness, liberality to serv/mts, fidelity to employers. These things make up the descipleship. Tho sam e tru th applies to many, things. The best- paintings are -those where sucli details as the blades of grass, tlio leaves of the.trees, tho lines upon tho Water, and sim ilar m inute points aro. most perfectly do* Iincated. Artistic excellency consists chiefly in the complete accuracy which tho slothful or the ignorant worker c an n o t. or will not accomplish. The great Italian sculptor, Michael Angelo, was once visited by an acquaintance, who remarked, on enteVing his studio, ‘' Why, ypu have dono nothing to that figure aince I was here last.’’ Yes,” was the-reply ; *• I liavo softened this expression, touched off that projection, and made o ther improvements.” “Oh!” said tho visitor, “those aro more trifles.” . “ True,” , answered Michael- Angelo, “ but remember that trifles m ake per­fection; and perfection is no trifle.” In like m anner the highest forms o f de­votion to Christ conaists in fidelity in apparent trifles. For only, heartfelt love and abiding.recollection of him as an ever beloved object, will enable his disciples to m aintain throughout.each day, in Word and company, in busy oc- 1 cupation and before liis enemies, the duty of honoring him. thus continuous- }y and in the whole details of life.—Lon­don liecord.

Rev. J. H .

Theso worthy persons, when the collection was taken, showed their careful Motha- distie training by liberal contributions.

I t was thought to be an adventurous move on the part of Bro. Hargis, con­sidering the times, to involve the m oth­er church of Frankford in an outlay of515,000.for "remodeling etc., but such a spirit of enterprise and liberality was rarely seen among a people. By Inst Sunday the whole am ount was reported raised. Dr. Fowler, Dr. Hanlon, Rev.S. 11. C, Smith and others took p a rt iu the services of re-dedication, which will not close until the.editor o!

Following the lUiiioHiiceinont.of Bishop Scott’s, wife’s death a t her Delaware home, came tlio. news th a t Rev. J. S. Cooke, of Pottsville, Pn., was called to mourn the loss of his excellent and. widely esteemed com­panion, H er funeral took place from W estern Church, Philadelphia. Added to the above, we regret to hear .of tho dentli of Em m a, the-young nnd beloved wife of Rev. J. 1). Fox, a lady of deep piety and rare adaption to tho pastoral work.

If, say they, Mr. Hayward’s plan of attack, although he may only intend lo he luiiny, is so “ merciless” to the "con­stituted authorities,” he transcends our purposes, and .hurts our feelings as well as those of the “ Board of Control.” Wo do not .entertain any such thoughts of iiiBilioieucy in any departm ent as he occasionally intimates. And if the president should grow sensitive under some of these grotesque comparisons, wo, the lot owners, sympathize entirely with him , and so far, ignore all reflec­tions. Things arc in good shape, and growing i>ctter all the time, so that croaking is unseemly, for “ ordinances” aro well conceived and well executed.--1 Nor do we think, oven, that the broth­er who has so largely given up his paper to the publication of satire, is doing tho fair tiling. W e hnvo ■ hail enough of it.

Tills is about the ' average opinion of the class in whose name the "Hayward Letters” are published. A nd Ju s t here arises tho chief delicacy iind difficulty of the editor. We are acting in cour­tesy to those who, we are satisfied, wish no harm either to tho paper or to tho institution that called it into existence. Mr, Hayn'ard would not exact a single line in our columns, if objected to, on our part. We rathor enjoy this sort of thing, as many of our readers do, who sre the point; but for those who have become lugubrious oyer tho seeming imbroglio, wo have little hope.

A Tight Place.Before Mr. Hayward lets up for a

spell, as wo understand ho intends to do pretty soon, tliero Bcoms to be a few things on hid mind which will not keep. The most surprising, if not amusing pnper of the aeries is No, 12, whicb we prin t tho present week. Taking some of liis previous expositions as an index of temperament, thero may be a fow who will look a t tho present letter as a sort of personal grievance; for how, they will argue, could a mortal man so accurately enter into tho.tribulations of a skeptic a t Ocean Grove, and delineate so vividly his “ environm ent,” w ithout more or leas experience in the case.

If conjecture should not be wide of the mark here, it is a foregone conclu­sion tlmt the doubter who docs not run will surely bo converted, and further, tliat tho writer of these racy extrava­ganzas avowsliis purpose to stay; then something is bound to transpire which will give “ the saints” additional motive to sing thedoxology, Tbatnoblestrain,. remember, is started on every occasion when a soul ia converted, and in such a service, has frequently been hoard 20 or 30 times in one day I. But Mr. Hay* ward, ns wo aro following h is free and rather sharp-pointed pen, appears to be nothing, if not sententious, run* ning into tlio regions of the hyperboli­cal. If Ocean Grove and ite religious activities were half as intense and pun- gent ns Mr. H. describes, it would be, in the estimation of thousands, the great­est glory of this peculiar place. I t is only occasionally—very, rarely, and under circumstances of extraordinary excitement, th a t people are com m and­ed to “ kneel or leave the place,” m ean­ing the im m ediate circle whero prayer becomes a necessity, and idle curiosity an awful incongruity,

Nor do we suppose the Tark to be so very different in its atmosphere, or the Episcopal Church . so non-committal, that the poor skeptic will m eet with no incentives there to save hia soul. In Park and Grove, we are rather glad.to admit, it ia a tight place for the skeptic.

Vandalism,

On .Wednesday morning last, persons crossing Wesley Luke by the foot bridge discovered Mr, J. K. Hayward’s cannon, which had occupied a prom inent posi­tion on the green terrace, in . front of his cottago, in a demoralized condition near the water’s edge. It. had been pushed to the declivity by some mis­chievous urchins during the night.and allowed to tum ble over the board walk, The Ocean Grove.authorities no sooner heard of the m ishap than they.quickly repaired to the spot, and found th a t the gun-carriage was damaged to some ex­tent by the fall.. Witli som oingenuity they*.got it mounted again, and like trained artillerymen moved it by a forced march to the lawn above, where it how stands near the rear buildings.

Dr. Stokes immediately conferred with the Board of Administration, nnd rushing to the printing office,. order­ed a batch of posters, to the following ell’ect:' | . ■

TO put a stop on this sort of “ am use­m ent,” which, if allowed' to go on un­checked, m ight cause unheard o f in ­convenience and trouble during the holidays, the president and. secretary have acted wisely in their proposition to pounce <fh the perpetrators iu sum m ary m anner, and " spend a good round sum iu bringing them to grief.

Position of the Lot Owners.

M r . E d i t o r :—As m any of your read­ers may not understand the “ Hayward Letters,” written for and published in your paper, I deem it'necessary as Sec­retary of the Lot Owners' Committee, to say that those letters aro the produc­tion of Mr. J. K. Hayward alone, and not those bf the Committeo aa a body. Whatever has been or may hereafter be said, I wish to place before your readers .these facte—that in all our meetings with tho. Ocean Grovo Camp Meoting Association, we have found them gentlem anly and willing to listen to nil of our grievances and complaints, as tho im provem ents made last year will show. W e have been received and entertained .by them with generouB hos­pitality, and in ou.- consultations have found all of them willing and ready to co-operate with us in the further ini provement of Ocean Grove, I do not know of one request that lists been made by us (consistent with the rules of the Association), th a t has not been ac­ceded arid attended to.

In order that the people m ay know our object hereafter, I would state tbat we aro a committee of seven, appointed yearly by the lot owners for the pur­pose of consulting with the Association in relation to tin best m anagem ent and im provem ent of the place, that we do not. assume the dictation o f its spir­itual affairs, but only to consult and co operate in that which pertains lo the interest of thoso owning property within itu jurisdiction. Ocean Grove is one of the plnces we love; and have shown this by investing considerable money there. We like the people who are residents nnd neighbors,.aiid I, for one, certainly desire that we be United both in our consultations and actions—“ peace und harmony boittg the support of ull insti­tutions, especially this of ours."

Eecent Publications.

In the Planes,

Dr. J. M. Roid's “ Missions arid the Missionary Society of tho M. E. Church,” published the present year by Phillips & H unt, New York Book Con­cern, has absorbed more of our time and attention1 than we care to acknowl­edge. W e took up these two finely illus­trated volumes expecting to find a mass of dry details and statistics, but the more we read tho doeper grew our in­terest in a narrative which no romance of unreal incident ever possessed for uur mind. From the organization of tho Society up to the latest dntes, Dr. Reid hns unfolded a story of adventure, fortitude, toil and trium ph which is positively sublime. The work deserves to become a classic iu overy preacher’s library.

Dr. Sliley’s trentiso on " The Atone­m ent” CM. E . Book Concern) has been long enough before the keon, discorning eye of the theological world to hnvo ex­posed any weak side or fallacious the­ory, if it has any, to tho “ watchmen who go about the city." I t is now a full third of a century sinco wo read in the Methodist Quarterly a review of “ Demon on the Atonem ont.” The bonk was un­pretentious, hut the review wns a mas terly and exhaustive presentation of tho whole subject. Wo do not remember at this .date the author, hut it settled our faith forever. Wo have m et with nothing since so satisfactory, until Dr. Miley’s comprehensive and complete exposition fell in our hands. It deserves it niche among the “ standards” of the denomination, and will no doubt bo accorded this distinction.

“ Service and Reward” ia th3 attrac­tive title of a recent booklet from the pen of Fannie E. H am lin, a lady al­ready well known within tho bounds of the Centra! Pennsylvania Conference, for Christian endeavor, clear concep­tions o f persona! obligntion-and duty to Christ, and that beautiful type of expe­rience which brings evpry. power nnd faculty of the being into happy accord with the divine will. The little volume, which, aside from ils character and contents, commends itself t(, the eye on account of its typographical neatness, deals mainly with m atters of personal consecration. If we felt disposed’ to criticise any of its features, it would be the unsatisfactory exorcise of. introspec­tion, or analysis of the varying impul­ses and impressions of the heart, and too much implied familiarity with the devil, in specifying his suggestions and devices. Aside from this, its teachings are true to the bettor lifo. Tho style fluent even to redundancy, and timid believers cannot fail to gain tho most blessed encouragement from a perusal of its eloquent pages, We hope to see and hear the author some day a t Ocean Grove.

Contest with Crime.

The Journal of last week saya:“ Mr. Anthony Comstock, who is doing

so much for the suppression of vice in preventing obscene literature from going through tlm mails, hits been arrested, in JSTew York on a frivolous charge made hy a woman. We think one of the greatest victories ever won over crime in this country was when Anthony Comstock wove such a net­work of law around Madame Restell that she was driven to suicide, although she was worth half a million dollura, mostly in United States bonds. W e remember another case; ft woman was summarily sent out of Ocean Grove. She professed to be a doctrc*s, but the keen eyes of the Association were upon her, and her indignant protests availed nothing. Two years after she was caught in them eshesof tho law in New York, being captured bv Mr. Comstock, who knew nothing of the Ocean Grove expulsion.”

Forests and Climate,

“ Forests and Climate ” waa tho sub­ject of an address by Goo. May Powell a t tho State Fair for 1879 hold by the Pennsylvania Slate Agricultural Society in the Main Ccntonmal Building, Fair- mounfc Park, Philadelphia. The mana­gers of the fair, recognizing tho rem ark­able tide of interest risinc in our coun­try and all over the civilized world on this subject, secured tho services o f Mr. Powell, who,, jvith the moro than national reputation which ho has as a writer and popular lecturer on forests, beet sugar, and other subjects of a kindred nature, made the occasion one of much more than common im por­tance. The Pennsylvania State Agri­cultural Society has the honor, we believe, of taking the load in thus inauguarating addresses by specialists a t annual fairs—a lead W hich we hope will be followed by. other State and comity soG icties. The addresses on such occasions have grown to be drearily uniform in their dealing too much in “ glittering generalities,” in ­stead of improving them by*, giving something roally valuable to ttie farmer. )>Ir. Powell sa id ;

With the sylva cultural interests of our country conserved as is dtm anded by hydraulic power- for manufactures by inland navigation; or either of several subdivisions of agriculture in respect to regulation—-wot increase^-of rainfall; or in relation to climate in its bearings oil an im al and on plant life; or in respect to material for fuel and for constructional purposes, and those interests are so conserved as to meet the demands of all—therefore the speci­fic consideration o f forests and climate substantially covers the whole subject. Tho m athem atician reckons ‘Uhe whole as equal to the sum of all its parte,” but—paradoxical as m a y seem on the first statement—as before suggested, “ either of the parU is equal to the whole.” In either of a. half score of these divisions and subdivisions of this forest question, the Great Republic has hundreds of millions of dollars annually involved. If rain comcs a t the right times . and quantities, Farm er Jones will cu t two hundred tons of hay in a season. I f it does not so come ho will cu t only one hundred tons, and so ho m ust sillier a loss of from $1,000 to $1,- 500 or $2,000. H e is only ono o f tens of thousands in his Slate, or hundreds of thousands in the whole country, similarly situated.- Farm er Thompson has a hundred acres o f .wheat and ,har­vests two thousand bushels if the rain is properly regulated, and perhaps only five hundred if it is not. If wheat is a dollar a bushel lie has $1,500 trembling in the balance. If a . half million or more farmers are similarly situated there are $750,000,000 a t stake. The forest is to Lhe rainfall, in . all these relations, what the balance wheel is to the steam ei.gine. Consequently a question of climate is nere involved, covering, in the aggregate, in all these relations, moro than ton times enough every year to build a four-track steel railway from .Portland, Main,,to Port­land, Oregon.. Froni either patriotic or politico economic points of view we can hardly fail to see promotion of forests to be duty. •

Tbe policy, of the American; and In ­ternational Forest Council has been, and is, to rcach the masses of- the people, through,, the .neudpapers, .with practical tacts showing them how aud why it will pay them , in their day and generation, to plant and preserve forest trees. Thus we have issued, during the last seven-years, a popular forest literature a t insigniticent expense, which would have cost tens of thous­ands of dollars to issue in tho form of books and pamphlets, and reports which few read; A work of great value to the forest literature needed by our coun­try has been done bv. one of our num ­ber—Rev. Samuel \\T. . Powell o f H ar­wich, Mn*s.—in inducing the Boston public library to collect a large num ­ber of European works on forests. This he accomplished—first, by correspon­dence with H on. Mr. Marsh, in Italy, and so securing a very carefully and wisely selected list of books; second, by securing the above action by the library mentioned. This list can be seen in the bulletin of that library for January, 1870, to be found in the leading libraries of the United States.

In respect to tree planting, we take the ground, most emphatically, tha t as the tim e and money and labor needed to transplant even a small tree will put oue hundred tree seeds in the ground, the slogan of the forest-creating cam­paign opening before the nations is, “ P lan t tree seeds where the trees springing from them aro to rem ain.” Transplanting, however, hns its place, and is not to be ignored. JRecent yellow fever experiences prove the South to have millions of dollars of trade inter­ests nor week involved in tbe subject of public health. A family in good health, North or South, East or W est; may earn $1,000 a year net. Sickness in tho same family: may cause it to suffer a loss—first, of the ability to earn that $1,000; second, of $1,000 in expenses incurred by sickness. Suqh a family has thus $2,000 a vear involved in the health question. By parity of reason­ing, the nation has untold millions every year wrapped up in the health budget. A forest loaf has tens of thou­sands of valves made on purpose to pum p in the poisonous carbonic acid gns and o th er “ enemies ” in the air, and pump out life-giving oxygen. The trees are also the chief conservators of those therm al .and hygroscopic condi­tions which determ ine not only tho henlth of men but of domestic animals; also the health of fruit and grain bear­ing p lan ts;. In any one of these rela tions, forests and climate is a cash question of startling.proportions. Tho hum an life and health involved is of course n o t . Biisceptiblo of financial gauge. A man can not tell how much he would give to have a dead darling given back to him again.

All this aside from loss o f life or health, the value of which can not be

computed. Much of this would be modified or remedied by planting rows, or double, or treblo, or quadruple rows of trees arou nd farms and along roads. Thua afarm or m ight have a thousand treea.w hore they would harm nothing. I f they were n u t and sugar-bearing trees they would soon aimually n e t him m ore than a thousand sheep, and also add more than their cost to the cash value of tho farm simply as a question of beautifying it.

H e said we need laws providing forest engineers and literature — fire-proof buildings and protection from forest ares; reduction of taxes for those plant­ing trees, so ns to squarely m eet proper prescribed rules, as certified by a com­petent forest engineer. Thoro should bo no exception from taxes for foolish or for bogus treo planting. Steep hill­sides especially need this treatm ent to . preserve streams, and are of littlo value for other use.

Thus spread tho royal forest robes, over tiie m ountains and valleys and prairies of our fatherland, and tho fol­lowing interests will also bo subserved. The damage to rivers and harbors, and the encroachments of the ocean on the land, as well as the rise and progress of hurricanes and fires, will measurably be abated. W ith all these ills the earth and man are heir to the forests aro among the most potent, and in som e of them the only power com petent to cope.1 Theileaves of the tree are for tho heal­

ing of the nations” in a m aterial,, as in a far higher -sense the Tree of Life is for moral healing..

TH E SKEPTIC AT OCEAN GSiOVE.

“Pmcul, 0, procul ettti prafani,"

The skeptic comes here to spend his vacation. Perhaps ho. owns a houso and spends the Summer here. H e is cleanly, and likes tho water its well ns tho convert docs. H e likes tho easy a b a n d o n and tho cheap. recreation of the place. He never found tho church a nuisance a t homo aiid ho does not anticipate it here. H e rather prefers, on the wholo, religious neighbors, for there is an air of order and propriety about thoir premises. H e thinks to lind others of his own stripe, here, ns elsewhere. But alas! " he has reckoned without his host.” Ocean Groye has no skepticism. It does riot thrive hero. Tho soil is not adapted to it. There aro too many meetings; too much .panlm singing for it to take root. Skepticism requires a n id u s of doubt. Here all is faith. Skepticism needs sci­ence bu t finds only tho Scripture here. I t would rather bo abused than pitied, rather notorious than ignored; perse­cuted than despised. Skepticism im ­plies conceit not hum ility. I t argues rather than prays; is radical rather than conservative. I t is 3’oung, it is “ fresh,” it ie rash, nay, moro, it is ill- mannered, but perhapa it is neces­sary in the sense that- Judas was neces­sary to tho orthodox scheme of salva­tion. There is no ehance Xor a skeptic in a revival, arid Ocenn Grove is a con­tinuous revival, I f our skeptic walks abroad he knocks against a clergyman a t ■ every turn, i f he sits down 'on a

, bench to look a t th e Sea ha hears name sa in t apostrophizing tiie ocean. I f lie goes in bathing there is a tdass-leader olutching ■ a t hie heele -md' ..another floundering under his nose. If he lets slip an oath a dozen "d rip p in g " fe- males stare a t liini as if lie was an Ogre ju st dropped from the planet Saturn. I f he walks on the p lank walk he is in ­terrupted by a surf meeting. I f he wan­ders in tho woods lie runB acros3 a young revival in full blast in a tent. H e rides in a boat and hears tho "sweet b y e and bye.” H e gets into a stage and the talk is about ‘‘ holiness,” “ sanctifi­cation,” and “ im m ediate results.” H e asks for tho children aiid finds them a t the “ Tabernacle” for the third ser­vice the snme day. H e plays croquet and his partner stops for the five o ’clock meeting. H e tries to start a dance and learns that it is forbidden by the lease. Ho produces a pack of cards, oh horror of horrors I H e had bettor produced tho Bkull of his mother in-law ; in fact our skeptic a t Ocean Grove is the best illustration of an inharm onious envl-

: ronm ent possible to conceive. If he goes lip to liis .bedroom, even tliere he hears the everlasting grind of tha par­lor organ—that abomination o f wind

, instrum ents redolont of Methodism and- religion in, the woods. H e lies down on his bed and the singing rolls up from the auditorium a wave of sound which banishes all thought of slumber. He rises and walks about; tho very nomenclature o f 'tlie pUice admonishes him of salvation. ; " Mount Zion ” is on this side and “ M ount T abor” on that,

: while for fresh water ho has his chanco between WeSley nnd Fletcher lakes. Thero is nothing left for our skeptic bin to get converted or “ travel,” and ho gonerally packs up his “d u d s” and travels over .to Asbury Park.- There ho bas his iormonlora a t arms length. Ho can go to the Episcopal Church and.no "questions asked.” I pity the skeptic who spends liis vacation at Ocean Grovo. Iio likes to go to a meeting

' once in a while iis he would to a circus, but does not want, too m uch of it. Much more ho does not w ant to bo dragged into the ring nolens vokn.i and p u t through the m otions of a trained anim al.

H e wants to step out when lie hns got enough and go about liis business and enjoy him self in his own way. There is where the trouble comes in. One can no moro got away from tho m eet­ing a t Oceau Grovo than a crab can from his d a w s . Keligion bubbles up everywhere. I t boils over. I t runs down all sides of tbo pot. It sputters in tlio firo. I t fnids its wny about on tho ground. There is no gotting rid of it- If hn lies down it runs under hiui.

. I f he walks about he steps in it. I f he climbs a tree it spatters on him, T lu ro in no escape from it. l ie is bound to be converted if lie remains al Ocean Grove. To be sure ttie procedure is a little co­ercive. Tho preaching, is of a high grade. Our friend is invited to an easy seat. The singing is grand. The can­opy-overhead protects from the sun. The wind Wows under i f from the sea cool and refreshing. lift settles himself down to enjoy the occasion, to study the psychological phenom ena from a scientific standpoint; ho is getting in terested; they begin to go forward to the a l tu r ; tlio “ Holy Spirit” is said to he presen t; the. “ m iction” to come down from on high.

rise up to sing; to ait down for an ex­ho rta tion ; to kneel for p ray er;“ all aro requested to kneel.” Of course our skeptic does no t kneel. Whereupon tlie presiding m inister thundera forth the com m and: u All kneel or leave tho ground^” Our friend cannot believe his cars. H e never.waH coerced in a'meet* ing before; Ho hemialea. H e wait» for further assurance. Again rings forth tho comtnanu, in thunder tones, like tho voice of the prophet who holds the Koran in one hand and the sword in the other, “ Kncol or leave tho ground.” Our skeptic, not knowing w hat may be the scope , of tho camp m eeting stat­utes, m uch m ore not wishing to inter­rup t the free courso of “ grace,” which is said to be present, reluctantly with­draws from the scene. As he straggles forth ho decides to go in bathing, but even this is prohibited during meeting hours,. H e hires a boat for a “ pull,” bu t learns after h e has^ paid his money that it will be, two hours before boats are allowed on the lake. Soho thought­fully returns to his room convinced th a t too • much of a ** good thing” is more than enough for him . -He doea not get converted. " Conversion” comes to tho willing, not to the obdurate.

I t is the concom itant or sequent of trouble which our friend is free from. I t is the result of emotion, but pur friend is a stoic. It should be rather accidental, like a maiden’s wooing, while here the twist of the screws was too apparent. Tho procedure is adopt­ed to the willing, but our friend is un­willing. His expulsion from the meet­ing was not unprem editated. The co­ercion was expressly intended to get rid of him. I t was apparent th a t he was a disaentientl They felt th a t his presence was a hindrance to the advent of .the the Holy Spirit. The managers wanted him away and took this.jneans.to ovict him . Thoy had a r ig h t so to do. No unbeliever has a moral right to remain in a meeeting where ho is not wanted. Only, our skeptic was surprised. H e concluded tha t most of tho entertain­m ent a t Ocean Grove was not adapted to such as he, and he w ithdraw s'a wiser if not a sadder man.

THE SU N FOB 1880..The Sun will deal with tho events o f 'th e year

1880 In Its own fashion, now pretty well understood by everybody. From January 1 until December 31 I t will be conducted as a new spaper written In the English language and prin ted for the . whole people.

As a newspaper, Tur. tivt* boJIevcs h r getting all tho news of the world prompUy. and prw-enting it in tho most intelllglblD shape—tho shape th a t will enable its readers to keep well abreast o f th? age with tho least unproductive expenditure o f time.. Tho greatest interest to the greatest num ber—th at is the law controlling Its daily m ake-up. I t now has a circulation very m uch larger than th at o f any other American newspaper, and enjoys.an in­come w hich i t is a t all times prepared to spend JJberalJy for th o b en cfito f iis readers, People of all conattionB of life and all ways o f th ink ing buy and read T h e8 u n ; and they all derive satisfaction of somcBort from its column*, for they keep on buying and reading it.

In its comments on m en and aflalra, T h e SUN bclidvca th a t tbe only guide of policy should: be common sense, inspired by genuine Americ«n principles and backed by honesty o f purpose.- For this reason it Ls, and will' continue to be, abso- JutoJy Independent o f party, vjass, clique, o rgani­zation, or interest. I t Is for all,-but o f none. It will continue to praise w hat is good and reprobate what la evil, taking care that Its language is to the point and plain, beyond the possibility o f being m isunderstood. I t is uninfluenced by motives th a t do not appear on tho surface; It has no opin­ions to sell, savo those wit ich w ay be bad by any purchaser with two cents. I t hates injustice and rascality even m ore th an It hates unnecessary, words. It abbors frauds, pities fools,and deplores nincompoops of. every spccies. • I t w ill ' continue throughout the year 1880 to chastise the first class. Instruct the second, and discountenance the. th ird . All honest m en. with honest convictions, whether sound or m istaken, a re its friends. And T h e su n makes no bones o t telling the tru th to ita friends whenever occasion arises for p lain speaking.

These a re tho principles upon which T h e Sun will l>e conducted during tr*e yenr to eone.

The year iffio will be one in which no patriotic American cun aflord to 'close his eye* Ui public adairs. It is impossible to exaggerate the im por­tance of the political events winch It has in i»tpre', o r the necessity o f resofute vfgffance on the part of every citizen who desires to preserve the Gov­ernm ent th at the founders gave us. T he debates and acts o f Congress, the. utterances of tlie press, the.cxcltlng contests of the Republican and Uemo> crallc parties, now- nearly equal, in strength throughout the country,- the varying d rift o f pubr. lie sentim ent, will all bear directly and.ertijetively' upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election, to bo held ih November. Four years ago n ex t No­vember,- the wlH o f th e nation, as expressed at the polls, was thw arted by an abominable consoirncy. .the promoters and beneficiaries of which sUu hoiclthe offices they stole,. Will the crime of 1870 bo repeated in 1880 7 The past decade of years opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and Insolent Adm in­istration intrenched a t Washington; T h e Ht’N did som ething toward , dislodging the gang .. ami; breaking its power. The same m en are now Intriguing to restote th e ir leader and themselves to placcs from w hich they .were d riven by the In­dignation of tbe people. ; Will;; they succeed Tho coming year will bring the answers to these momentous questions, Tm :Sv& will b e o n hand to.chronlcle the facts as th ey are i developed, att'i to' ex h ib it them clearly and . fearlessly in ‘ their, relations to expediency au d right.

Thus. wlUi a habit o f philosophical good hum or in looking at th e m inor allairKOflife, and in great things a steadfast purpo.'o to m ain tain the r igh t' of toe people and tho p rinciples o f the Con?t<tu- tion against all aggrcsivors, Tin:nt*N Is prepared to write f. tru thfu l, instructive,' and , entertaining history of 1*80.
