4,GIve unto the Lord tlie glory due n.itn his n a m e ; bring an offering ancT come before him worship the Lord In th '1 Chrou. iG:29, ■

Tbe text is.a pfirt of.tbe Psalm of David wherein he expresses his exultant;joy at

: the bringing of the ; Ark of God from tbe Bouse of Obed Edom, to the city oX Jeru- salem, ■ This was an event of no ordinary interest to Israelnnd a d ay of special j oy to David; for the locating of tbe Ark iu the capital of the nation hud much to do with, the worship of God liy tho entire nation• The subject of divine worship specially brought to our notice in the text is as old as the creation, and its universal as the race. No doubt long . before man was called into, being, the angels.of G o tlw o r - shipped in heaven, ;such‘ os; We read of in the Revelation of St. John.' It isasubject of momentous: fnterest’ to every, rational being, for I t is i rise parabH* corin ficted wi th both oiir present liapplness and our future well-being.

.Worship is that reverence and adoration of soul which is due the Creator from the creature, and embraces a proper recognl

. tion of tlie claims of God upon us. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his nam e” This tneans tliat God shall'have, the first place in' our hearts, : He says, ‘‘Thou shalt have no other gods before me." Tlie expression ■ of worship has

• always beeh:associated: with an' offering--of. some kind. God’s people did not appear before, him empty-handed. Among, tbe

'' firs.t records of Worshlp otfthe part of man ? we ’ find mention • o f : an . offering-^Abel’s* was accepted because it expressed.the need

of an atonement for sin ; and• Cain’s was rejected because it lacked this. So David says: ‘‘Bring an offering and come before;

■ him.’ ’ . Th I s ; expressed,' faith: i n the Re deemer.to ‘come; now we; present^ our­selves to God through th e ' mediation df

: Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, who has come. “ !No, man cometli unto the Father, but by me.” And as the Jews brought the tithes

. and offerings in oriler that divine worship might be maintained, so now we are to lay by in store on the first day of the week, according as God bas prospered us, that God’s service and .worship may be duly

: observed.There will be. found- In this service that

devout spiritual feljowshipi and intercourse between God and ourselves of which: we as spiritual beings are; capable. This em­braces prayer, praise, reading and study of the Word, the public preaching of di­vine truths, in order to discover the will of God concerning us, for the guidance of our life and the moulding of ourcharacter.

The obligation of divine worship grows* out of the very relatlV^we sustain to'God, and is inwroughfin the'very constitution of our natures. “ There is in the nature of man, or in the circumstances in which he is conditioned, something which leads him *o recognize and worship a superior being. Man is a,religious being; he ic ill icorship. The history of the various races of men shows that all, .however blindly, are feeling after God. The demand is imperative upon1 every child of Adam in these words: U.I am the Lord thy God; thou shult have no other gods before me.”

. Rendering worship to any other, or idol­atry in anj* form, God regards as the great-

• est insult we can render him, and because of this n is so severely denounced in his word. Worship therefore, is not a matter of choice on our part, but of duty and privilege. • :'.v W-y-;

WliiFe this demand is reasonable, and In harmony with our relation to God, it isjiot of an arbitrary character. We are so re­lated and constituted that, the best and

, noblest quality of character can never be ; attained if God's claims are. Ignored and

forgotten. FiHial obedience to parents is essential to the proper development of character in the child; so no moral char­acter can be complete that lives in . open hostility/to the “ Father o r our spirits.* God’s w o rs h ip , means good to ^ e worship­er, for it Is a law of our being that we be*j

j ' bears • testimony; A striking instance', is f that.of/the Scythin.ns,and other tribes of

the northmen wlio siibdued. and tinally de­stroy ed: the Roman • power. O din,Thor and others of.the!r suppdsed deities, wer Ideals of hero kings, blood-thirsty and cruel, clothed with the attribute's of deity and worshiped; ' Their, worship turned the; milk of human kindness into gall in the bosoms of: their votaries V and they seemed like blopd-hounds, to. be possessed'-of horrid delight when reveling in scenes!of blood and slaughter."

The well-known worship of the goddess of blood Kali, in India, by a class of men known as Thugs, produced the same re­sult; her worshipers became like her, de­lighting in the sliedding of human blood. So the man who worships God In spirit and in truth becomes a partaker of the divine :naturey.i learning! of Christ he be- comes 11ke;him,'meek .and ipwly of .hear and gradually.obtains the mind .which was in Christ. Moses was ;in!the mountfor! forty days in com muhidnwitli God;;and so marked was tlie effect upon him that- even his face became luminous*, and when he returned to the people he had.to put a veil over his race while.he read to them the law of God. Iu his measure, every wor­shiper will receive help from God for the active duties of!every-day life; Something in prayer or . hymn, the word read or preached, tlie * testimony or Exhortation given will be as food to the hungry soul whereby we. shall be streugttiened with might by his Spirit in the inner man. .God asks us to draw nigh to him tlijit, he may draw nigh to us, that thus he may cdmmu uicate to us the rich blessings of his own presence, and give us a more exalted aim and purpose in this lifeby. lifting nsabdye tlie law and groveling things of this world cultivating onr higher natures--tbe moral and spiritual. ,

Perftct Lova.The babtism of the Holy Ghost gives us

an insight into people and things we never had before. Xot in the clairvoyant sense, but we can see through’faces and under­stand .their, motives. We can see the dif­ference between' a spiritual Christian and

worldly-Christian. The mind is-made ivondrously clear by perfet love... The way to know God Is-to love hiuu In this world it is different. Yon have to knOw a thing to love it. In matterj* of this world, the Intellectual comes first and the bean next—in matters of salvation vice versa. In the spiritual realm things are seen aiad known through the intuitions of thebeart. If you want to understand things that now perplex you, get the baptism of perfect love., Love taught me more ?about these things than all the schools I ever attended or books I ever read. We need the divine fulness of the Holy Ghost, that, just bap­tises us out of ourselves. He can baptise us out of swaddling clothes into holyVwar armor; out of the cradle into the arena; out of stammering into plain speech, and testimony. The Holy Ghost can pickup our! souls and take us out of- our zone into another zone. ’ You can travel' a good, many thousand miles in a few secondsl

- ; - f ■ Does liunyan mean 10 intimate that <-tu-

pi(llty and honesty are often found to. gether V Perhaps so, for it does not require half as much brains to be honest as to play tiie villain. And even the best of brains are entangled arid- ciiuqht in the net of heir own cunning. ' •; Another point, in the little parable'is

this. Here wns a reputation for honesty before he started on pilgrimage. In fact, perhaps his.pride’in bis honesty biniiered him from starting sooner; thinking that sucli -as • he, Iiving, in the tp<vn of Sttijildity; ci.uld not possibly perish, * Ko doubt, his cle^r-cut honesty-- prepared the way for a higher life. So when some Evangel of mercy and warning came to him he heeded and -started on pilgrimage, while his- ttupid fellow-townsmen stayed where they were till tbe\ died.

A light-winged, bright-faced little gos­sip, named J'fincy, has informed us of cer­tain other facts in the history of this pil­grim.! It-seems he had a very eventful life. Once on a time lie.kept a store. Of course he never sold adulterated goods, nor gave less than full weight and meas­ure. He ^corned to take advantage of any man's ignorance or necessity, lie despised ill “ tricks of trade.” If he knew a piece or cloth to have any defect he would point it out to his customersv If any, of his Christmas turkeys were old and tougli he •*vou 1 il ..not let the buyers carry them liome with the. inipresssipn tliat they were young aud tender,-: He never was -‘satisfied -with ;imply;;allpwing;theni'to!'vfindout;:for theniselves."/;v 'r:.

By trusting too many of his neighbors, who. promised^to^pay :but never didi ;he, failed in business. Some advised him to transfer his property to his wife, and still keep store in her name; others-advised him to ' compromise with his. creditors; otUers. still said, ‘‘ Toronto.is a good place to r u n to." .. Ho we ver, ‘ h e : d id - arrange to pay fifty cents, on the dollar till he coulcl get on bis feet again, and then—would you believe It?—he actually went to work to payoff the other fifty cents, till, bv great self-denial and the labor.of years, he was out of debt once more. No wonder .Ids neighbors called him ‘‘Old Honesty/*

AH the while Old Honesty was in debt he would not buy a single luxury. Xor

ould he buy 'anything on trust. He would always say to his wife, “ let us do "ithput it till we have the t'noney to pay

it,’’ and.; f r s ' Honesty would always al 1 ri ch t; V for she - was . a kind red

pirit^i '.T.iiere :were a'few-HTebts'whicb he contracted in the youthful days of dis=ij)a- tion—days of disgust to him now—aud he never rested till he paid them off.- Yea, it is said; he often went without butter on

s bread, *d as to pay hW debts the sooner. Finally he won such n reputation for

honesty and . honor that ambitious men craved the use of his name by which.to climb to success. ‘ Merchants begged him to go on their paper: borrowers asked him to eudorse their notes; books agents would say,'1-5, just put your name down on the list of subscribers—only your name—Father Honesty—you - need no; buy the book , or, at leasty you .can have it for half price.”

look ip.to h is ‘ face showed such appeals to he,in vain. .. /..- .V: •- v^.

Now it came to pass that Old Honesty and his w ife went, to Europe, and ! when they, returned, having all manner, of gpdds in their trunks,, the Custom House officers

ere surprised that he did not .wear a sln- gle gold watch dri his pe rson to escape from paying “ the duty;” and his wife

otUd not wear any of the laces whichshe had bought in Brussels ;, and as to the silk

government.- .. .Some of the. clerks thought■. ydur.cdnfidehce ?. Xo this was very stupid, and their fellow’- passengers were angry because it reflected! on themselves. ?;:}6ld Mr. Honesty had one rule In ail hi. transactions; • It was “ The Golden Jlule:” as; given in .‘‘ the Sermon on the ; Mount When he did : any work fo r, pthers he al, ways did It as well as if .it were" for him­self; and when lie employed others to work for him.he insisted on faithful work for honest wages, promptly paid. More, over he was honest toward his God as well as toward his fellow men

When Old Honesty and his wife came down to the river of Death, the “ sbhiin ones’*> met them, ond conducted tliem to the Celestial City in triumph, saying, ‘‘ Lift up your heads, O- ye. gates, and let thl k ingly couple in And .behold, the .very angels gathered aroiind them to do them reverence.— Wxtcfi Toirer.

Sensational Preaching.“ Rambler,” in the'S n tiw U ob­

serves that n standing subject of denudci- atlon is tbe minister who preaches for thf times nnd the minister who Is sensational Wheh‘«ome minister offers a word or two of remonstrance in reference to the saloon and its iniquities, the pious souls who run th? saloons and who frequent them are plunged into unutterable agony at the thought that the dignity of the pulpit l being sacrificed,.and that somebody is preaching something else than the gospel nnd Is preaching to the times, preaching fo r.a sensation, and so on. JJut if the saloon keepers anti their adherents,'!n-their moments of leisure, would condescend to read the Prophets and the Gospels and the Epistles, if they would listen to Isaiah and Joel and John the Baptist and James and Jesus, they would perhaps be surprised to find how largely their utterances were devoted to the sins and the needs, of the times, and how tremendous, a sensation their words were fitted to produce.

Our Lord’s preaching was intended to produce, and it did produce, a sensation, which did not cease until It had'borne its fruit on Calvary. If the Apostle .James were preaching nowadays in any of uur high-toned churches, It would hot be ion, before the trustees’, accompanied, perhaps, by the deacons, would'wait upon.him, and would * tell him that, Col. Fifty-Per-Cent and Esquire Mulster, the brewer; and Mr.- High Tone, and Mr.Fusel Oil,the wealth distiller, had given up their pews on-'the broad aisle and were; going hereafter to attend some branch of Zion where there was no such sensational, preaching, and where a purer gospel was dispensed.!

It seems to the Rambler that preaching for the times may l>e good, and it may be bad. It depends on whether tho preach- ing is to p&ue .’tlie times or to sate the times; ' . Sensational -preachirig rna)» be good, may be bad. Does the sensation end in itself, or dties it end in reformation, faith, holiness, benevolence ?

Rut we would just its readily include that of the Republican, Democratic or any other party that'would make'.a declaration simi­lar to this, which jill our acts anti words, as a society," have for s'o many years de­clared, namely: That the saloon, must go.’

In the debate at Chicago, Miss Willard said:

.* Since the president' is called in .ques tion in the minority report.as-to her utter; anceS) the expression being, * Inasmuch its the president declares in her annual ad­dress t? this, Ijody that! this organization Is non-partisan,’ .! will ask Mrs. Forbes to take the chalrthut i may speak.r It might be suitable for me to say that in looking over the dictionary we find the meanin of the words changed a s . the words -\t let ’ as used In the: New Tesbament-onc meant * to hinder.' In' the' definitions of current words certain interpretations pu* upon them caused^them to assurne-Jt differ-

nt light an 1 shade, and for that reason it is tliat we are in a sort of mixed condition ab«jut partisan, and non-partisan, My opinion is that *.ve are a non-partisan soci­ety. Rut non-partisan; as held by the rna- jprity, does not,imply that you can not peak your, good word,. and show w hat ide-ypu are vjn in your resolutions, adopt­

ed annually by the conventions! towards uch a party in State or nation as stands

for and crvstidlizes ypur principles. The dthe r view is tliat thdse who re present, the majority, in this convention, often- say: we are! partisan; \N*e are, when ; we set oaf-! selve^ over against the definition of .non;= partisan that our. sisters in some States give.. They think that non-partisan means that you cannot pass any such resolution. This throws us Into a kind of sew-saw about it. As Mrs. Lathrop has said, while nonpartisan in our organic law, non-parti­san our department work, if the majority present ip the National W. C. T. L'. Con­vention desire to express their sympathy with a political party they have a perfect right to do so, and yet the society as a scci. e ty is non-partisan.!y. .'. ' ’n.

Mrs.' Rev. F. II. Purdy is among the arrivals, at the Ilygeiu Hotel the present week. She had ou encounter with tho grip in Sew York City, but appears to be fully restored,, and in the enjoyment of excellent health.• Kev. John B. Devins and'wife, of New York city, were at the Atlantic House 011 Wednesday while selecting a summer

The present condition of the beach at Llilagore’s bathing ground Is in splendid order, hud unless greatly disturbed by heavy storms, will be the best bathing ground we have had for years. The salt water pool at this pavilion hns’ been wld ■ened 21 feet, greatly increasing itscapocity for swimmlng-practice.

On a neatly folded piece of muslin stamped with the familiar “ Y,” which lies on our table, we find printed tho fol; lowing: “ The-Young Women's Christian Temperance Union- of Ocenu Grove, will give a “ Cotton Sociable,” at the St. Elmo, Saturday evening, Feb. 22. Southern souvenirs can be procured from the com­mittee. We desire the pleasure of your company; 7.00 to 11.” New-idea to us; this cotton business, tfut we have no doubt the occasion will be enjoyable.

The editor of the Christian Advocatc Had an unusually heavy job oir hand in arrang­ing his paper for this week to make room for the proceedings of what he terms the “ Dedication, Celebration and Jubilation,” over tlie completion of tlie new Book Con­cern building.' Of Gen. Fisk’s address, Dr. Buckley soys: “ Certainly a stranger, 'Ignorant of the dates of-these transactions, might have’supposed tlie General present at the ordination of Asbury, well acquaint­ed with Coke, a bosom friend of Jesse Lee, and an old school-mate of John Dlcklns.”

Mr. G.‘ W. Evans, late post-master at Ocean Grove, expresses his great satisfac; tlou for the generous manner in which the people have accepted his efforts to serve them, and. the confidence which has been extended to hiiii in the onerous labors ltj- cldeut to the position he has occupied. He also bears testimony to the faithful and Untiring service of his assistants iu the ofiice, especially to-Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Bunting; as well as Mr. Peak, who, in con­nection with his other duties, has always been ready to render a helping hand as necessity required.

The Ladies’ Parsonage'Aid Society of- St. Paul’s Church, having, a considerable sum to raise to meet claims'due, with matronly sagacity decided to give a “ good

' hot supper’’—none of your IIbusy little excuses for a good square meal, but this time a solid supper—and tlie affair came off on Thursday evening ot tiie St. Elmo, 011 Main avenue. Their performance ex­ceeded the promise. A large attendance at 50 ceuts per head enjoyed the supper hugely, and the spcial chat and cheer after­word a5j much as they did the' eatables. These sisters usually succeed. They dl* vine. the. direct way to a niun'g. pocket- book. IIence: the sumptuous spread of Thursday evening..

■The. largest realty transaction in ‘Ocean Grove for years Was consummated recently In the sale of the Sheldon House by its owner, Mr. Willisford Dey, to Milo M. Bolding, oiie of the largest silk mouufoc- turers of N ew York City- The manage­ment of. this popular house last Summer, Under its late* proprietor, was such os to /command for this Hue property tiie round sum of $50,000,’which was fiaid in cash, mortgage aud merchandise. Both seller nud purchaser, wo understand, are highly pleased with the bargain. Prof. Dey for some time past lnis beeii looking West­ward, aud now that lie is relieved of tlie care and control of this immense hotel enterprise, will probably follow the bent of . liis inclinations. For the future suc­cess of the Sheldon, we hope the right sortof management, will be secured, as it is in many respects- tiie best equipped .Summer or even Winter .hotel 011. the Atlantic coast, *

elegant structure now aboiit completed on the corner of Fiftli avenue and Twentieth street, as line a site as New York could furnish, contains a .spaciousaudience room for Board meetings and the use of the preachers who assemble every Monday morning, and in tlils room tiie dedicatory Services wore performed.

Addresses were delivered by Key. Bishop E. G. Andrews, Kev. Earl Crauston, Of Cincinnati; Kev. G. S. Chodbourn, D. 1)., of Boston, and Kev. M. I). C. Crawford, D. D., of New York. Dr. Hunt, Dr. Eaton, Gen. Fisk and Hon.. Amos Shinkel took important parts in the services. Hon. Wni. Hoyt presided; Rev. W. F. Whit­lock, D.

O11 account (if the limited accommoda­tions in the new building, and with- a desire, to gratify the Methodist public, the Metropolitan Opera House, sold to be tlie largest audience room in the city, was en­gaged for Thursday evening. Feb. IB, and was filled with ministers and their fami­lies, the laity in all Its olliclnl departments, nud representatives of the educational and philanthropic work of tiie denomination.

It would be difticult to put In type any­thing like a complete picture of the mag­nificent scene, or full description of the evening’s enthusiasm, as some of the best speakers on hand, unfolded the growln. enterprises of the Church, or paid tlieir willing tribute to the heroism of its found­ers. Wb present a few sample extracts from tlie addresses delivered which will Indicate the trend of sentimeut appropri­ate to.au occasion so fraught with interest.

The Book Concern,The speeches at the dedication .of tlie

new Methodist headquarters lu New York last week abounded in striking reminis, cences. Dr. Crawford in. the coUrse of Ills address referred to the fact this was more than a commercial house. It is. also a great missionary institution, touching the whole world with Its beneficent activities. Many societies ore here represented; many olllcers lu the Church have their work here, llere the preachers. In number equal to ou annual Conference, hold their weekly meetings. He thought thot every society In the Church ought to be .repre­sented here, and If he could have his way; would establish a great library in this building, which should contain a cop}' of every Methodist book ever printed, and of every book ever printed about Methodism, undo copy of every Methodist paper in the world. He would have it so that no Methodist who couies here will feel that he lias seen New York until he has been in this building. On these walls, which now contain- the portraits of some of the liouored fathers, ho would.have, at least, a hundred more representative meu who have mode Methodism what it is.

lie referred-iu a very feeling way to his own beginning us a boy in the foldin. room of the old Concern In Crosby street, aud to the emotlous with which he received the first money he earned there—n bright Mexican dollar, which was paid to him by the Book Agent, Beverly Waugh (after­word Bishop), and what seemed strange to him was that this great chief of the Con­cern seemed to know him personally, and put his hand upon his head and prayed for God’s blessing upon him—a prayer which was answered then, nud the answer to which abides until this time.

Dr. Chad wide, of Boston, said: “ This building speaks of-tlie true mission of the Church iftthe world, which is twofold: 1 To evangelize. 2. To educate men. The true Church must be 011 the move; it must go. to men; it must' assimilate them; it must build them into itself.* “ I glory in Methodism -because it does this. I t has always been on the’move to find men, to preach to them, ‘to save .them.” In the educating work of the Church no brunch of the Church universal is doing more than , our own. Two meu In these later days ha ye been sent to bear, wituess to the world of the Light, ami th6 name .of. each was ‘John.’ The oiie wiis John Wesley oiie of the wisest and greatest of men. great not only as an evangelist, but as au educator, a great publishing .house in him self. The second, John .Dickins, with his loan of $000 to start the Methodist Book Concern, it handful of corn, on tiie top of of the mountains which how shakes like Lebanon. If what we now behold Is the fruitage in. one li mid red years from tlie investment of *000, wliut will our descend ants behold one hundred years hence?”

■ Methodist.Literature..Kev. Dr. Hunt, senior Publishing agent

of the Book Concern, found opportunity ut the Jubilee last week to detail the orl gin and growth of thot central point.of Methodist unity aud power. lie said

The Methodist Book Concern is the great center to which the Methodist Epis­copal Church looks for its* supply of Christian literature, as tlie pulpit* Is the centre of each congregation for religious .Instrucjtion. Is it n matter of surprise;

rife In those times, to antiouuce one Sun­day that the next time become around the circuit he would read from tlie Westmin­ster Confession, and show, how Its doc­trines differed from those of Methodism. This announcement filled tho little church, aud brought out especially the Presbyte­rian elders, one of whom 011 his way home complained that a Methodist preacher should read anything publicly Irom the Westminster Confession, anti added: “And then lie read the very worst, things in it.” Sixty years have passed, and now our Presbyterian friends are struggling in au agony over that confession to cast out those

j “ very worst things.” We most cordially wish them success in so laudable an effort; but’some of them ore not ready for It yet. President Patton, of Princeton, says: “ i t must amuse, the theologians of the Metho­dist Church to notice that Presbyterian office-holders ore try lug to . persuade the church which honors Charles Hodge and Henry B. Smith as Its great dogmatic theo­logians to go over bodily to tho platform of the Remonstrants.” But tlie editor of our chief weekly tells us that Henry B. Smith, many years ago, published an arti­cle designed to show that “ there Is no lu* superable difllculty In the way of a union of Presbyterians and Methodists.” Well, they seem now actually to be coming “ to tlie platform of the Kemoustrauts.” Let them come singing:

** For th e love o f God is broader Than tho m easure of m an’s m ind,

And th e heart o f th e Eternal " Is most wonderfully kind.",

, We who have tried no other platform will welcome them, and “ lie who tasted death for every man ” will bless the banns.

It Is said of him that in his gazing ovpr the past we say: All honor to , middle life, when once, very sick, he hod the nuble men who laid the foundations this striking experience: lie felt himself deep and strong upon which we have been borne by an angel out of this life and up- able to build such a structure!, Their rec-1 ward through surging waves of glory to-

It Is conceded to-day that wo have an educated'ministry; and yet os much os we value a. classlcai course, not exceeding twenty per cent, of those who enter our ministry are graduates of college. Every one of these men, however, must gradu­ate In the Conference Course of Study. Every young man as he presents himself nt the door of tiie Conference is handed.a schedule ol eleven solid volumes for his first year, aud notified thot he must master these books before be can take one step in advance. You may examine the cata­logues of our colleges, and you will find that the studies required in the whole course necessary for graduation In any one of them are not as extensive or severe os those In tlie four-years', course required of every Methodist preacher. Whether these courses have for their chief end the attainment of knowledge or mental disci­pline, purs will not suffer by the compari­son. The Methodist Book Concern is tlie magazine from which they draw their sup­plies. It is the educator of our ministry as well as Its agents.. Thus It has been for a hundred years, and tbits. It must be for a hundred years to come.

As the financial outcome of the century the Agents and the Book Committee, un­der whose supervision they act, have had the high honor of presenting to the Church the grand fire-proof structure on Fifth ovenuoj with its presses driven, with steam and Its apartments illuminated with lightning, and all free from debt.

With such a consummation for this cen-

ord is tiie broad ■ Church which now Uvord the eternal city, He asked to be covers every nation ou earth. j borne at ouce Into the presence-of John

The long weary road of the itinerant, | Wesley, but was told his work was uotwhose saddle-bags were our book-stores. Hwlidse sermons aroused Into hoiy enthu­siasm the expauding nation, has been changed.for golden streets and.heaven’s royal welcome. But, turning away from the ashes of the heroes of the past, we hear the.trumpet-call of the incoming century demanding a new generation of heroes as valiant os the-past. We. shall best prove our appreciation of the work of the fath­ers of the Church by pushing forward to greater.success the work they have com- mitted to our hands !. .

In uu age of skepticism we must have a ministry and people standing In the first ranks of learning and intelligence. With the Bible in one hand aud the products of a sanctified press in the other, with the old-time fire of enthusiasm in the heart, the world will be brought to the feet of its Creator and King. ,

The recollection of the honored deud should luspire us tft complete what they so nobly began. That' will be a degener­ate age when we must go to the cemetery to find our greatest men. The lives of the fathers are not presented to us to dwarf our statures by contrast, - but to show to what giants we should grow with better opportunities.

The dead but opened the door through which tho living may pass to victory. If we ourselves 'would prove worthy of our ancestry, we shall haste forward with' their memoirs to speed us 011, so that when we hove borne our age yet nearer Paradise our children may strew violets ou our sep­ulchers aud evoke from us as all from our fathers the Inspiration of the immortal dead. The opening century beckons us onward and. upward until our work is crowned immortal and victorious.

Oueihiiudred years from this new gene­rations will gather together as we do to night to celebrate the achievements of the second century in the history of the Book Concern. The records, instead of comlug from New York and Cincinnati alone, will come from China, Japan, India, Europe and Africa, in each of which will have arisen establishments far surpassing our own, which shall send forth their streams of'light and knowledge for the elevation und salvation Of our race.

Wheu that grand celebratiou shall come, though we may not mingle with’ the throng,-1 am sure our King of heaven will allow, us to gather on some mountain height and look, and look down with • rap­ture upon the scene; aud lieoveu will be the sweeter when sower and reaper shall rejoice together.

fiulshed, and he could not enter lieoveu then. Filled with unutterable regret, he said: “ Must I return?” “ So God wills." said tlie ongel. aud Coke onswered: “ If I must go back, let me go and blitzc until I die” IIe:ot once returned to. conscious­ness, rapidly recovered, and blazed until lie died. Until his death he represented in his own person the whole of the mis­sionary operations of Methodism. He lavished on., them a large fortune, gave more money for religious work than any other Methodist, if hot any other Protest, ant, of his. time, and at last on his way to plant missions lu the Orient, gave his body to be burled lu the Indian ocean

God grant that the multiplying-myriads of the tongues and types of Methodism may bo vitalized with the same evangeliz­ing spirit; that they.may “ blaze,” not, In­deed, until they die, but until, In the hoiy influence they shall have exerted, they shall live forever amid the splendors of the eternal world!

The Preachers’ Meeting.The weeklj* meeting of preachers w as

held at tho usual time and place, first vice- president W. Frnukllu In the chair. Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Claytou, of the Genesee Conference. Tlie secre­tary .being absent, no minutes of last meet­ing were read.. Reports were received of services held at tho poor house by Rov. A, S. Compton. Bros. Fisher and Davis had exchanged pulpits on the previous Sun­day. Bro. Franklin had prenclied at Ocean Beach in the absence of the pastor; extra meetings which had been in pro­gress for some weeks past were discon­tinued. The subject of young people’s societies, was to have been presented.by Rev. J. R. Thompson as the theme of dis- cusslon, but as he was unable to be pres­ent. by request of tlie committee on pro­gramme, Rev. W. Franklin presented a paper on conscience. The following points were brought out, and more or less discussed by those present: ** Conscience is a faculty of the soul, a kiud of judge of our own actions, thoughts, feelings, pur­poses and desires. Without It there could be no penitence, for by this the Spirit of God convinces of sin. It is a faculty by which man knows himself as no other knows him. It Is a window of the soul, through which the light of the Spirit en­ters. It Is-a.sort of police force iu the city of mansoul, to wntch and give the alarm.

It is au abuse pf conscience to suppose It is infallible. I t must be properly edu­cated. Under the guidance of couscleuce, a mother in India will sacrifice her child by throwing it Into the sacred river Ganges, *rh)ie here a mother cherishes her child with the utmost care. Auother abuse h to take away nil Its rights and submit it to a class called conscience, doc­tors. The only 'doctor lor conscience is Christ and the only standard is the Word of God.

Conscience is-abused when Its voice is disregarded;- this may be continued to such an extent that it may become what the apostle calls, seared as with a hot iron, and then we are past feeling.

The proper use of conscience consists in keeping i t ’well informed,.keeping it ten- der, so that it will respoud quickly; be willing to ’ hear when it condemns us; aud yield obedience to its promptings.”

The discussion wns participated In by nearly all present, and on motion was to be continued-for next Monday morning;

Exalt the Word.

The Working of Methodism,At the great mass meeting of Methodists

lost week in the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, Bishop Foss gave 0 compre­hensive view of the; missionary spirit actuating this denomination, and closed his address by saying:.

Two incidents may sufilce to illustrate this quiet working of Methodism beyond its own ecclesiastical pale iu contributing toward a movement, scarcely less than a revolution. When my' father was a young circuit preacher 011 the east end of Long Island ho was moved by. the. criticisms,

The Missionary Spirit.Dr. A. B. Leonard was one of the elo­

quent speakers at the great meeting in New .York last week, and in behalf of the •Methodist Missionary Society, said

This society gives expression. to tlio courageous spirit of-Methodism. This spirit Is not hinnifested by. laymen who occupy cushioned pews in elegant houses of worship, or by minivers.who preach to highly cultivated and wealthy congrega­tions. The courage of .the church Is seen iu those laymen aud ministers who go Into the - haunts of wickedness hi our great cities, and to the frontier to live in dug- outs, planting Christum churches and min­istering to the.neglected and vicious; who go to foreign countries and hold the red- hot, battle line that divides Christianity and heathenism. Bishop Taylor journey Ing 011 foot through the jungles of Africa, sleeping on the ground with the open sky for shelter, fighting malarlit; anil preach ing the gospel to the uaked heathen Is the type of heroism which the church needs to bring this sin-stricken world to Christ. If all cannot heroically go to these hard atid dangerous fields, ail con heroically work- and give and sacrifice to support such as do go.

This society measures also the conquer iugpowet of the church. The church is an army of invasion and conquest. I t Is under orders from its great Captain to con quer the world and briug it into subjection to Ills sway. The Missionary 'Society brings every soldier into line and gives him a clionce to tight for his crown. There is no.form of .superstition or heathenism however deeply seated or hoary with age, that this society needs to fear, backed os it is by 0 courageous church;. Thank God we hove.no occasion to spend our time in devising.a second probation, revising our creed, or establish ing our claim to apostolic succession. We believe in one fair proba­tion for all; that Jesus Christ’ died.fornll and that all are hi the only succession worth talking about, who fight and win.

Some changes have takO place in the personnel of the ofiice. Mr. II. H. Bunting continues as­sistant post-master. Mr. Win. II. Hamil­ton will retire from post-ofiice work. The telegraph ofllce will be removed from Its old location and placOd in the northwest corner of the room, and Mr. Hamilton will continue as the representative of tho West­ern Union Telegraph Company and give bjs personal attention entirely to the work, with the view of improving the telegraph service beyond its present limitations.

“ We have met the enemy and they are ours,” said Commodore Perry, thus telling the story of the battle of-Luke Erie. And it Is also a fact that Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup is no sooner used than the cold is conquered and the cough disappears.

A striking proof of .the divinity of the Bible is that it has accomplished so much in the world In spite of the misuse, or non-nse, or Imperfect use, Qf it by its frleuds. Who doubts that Christian char­acter would be far richer, and church uctivltles tenfold more successful, If Christians generally would put In practice the most familiar suggestions concerning the use o f'the Word of God ? I submit these: 1. Read the Bible regularly every day; 2. As nearly os possible .at a fixed hour; 3. Alone in your room; 4. Never when in haste;. 5. The morning Is the best time,, but If you have found no other opportunity during the day, take time im­mediately before retirement at night; 0. Read in course; 7. Select, lu addltlou- from any port of the Bible, such passages as you especially need; 8. -From time to time read largely—several chapters, or a whole Epistle or other book, at a sitting. In this way give youf Bible 0 chance to pour into your soul its great tides of truth 5 0. Above all, read devoutlj', as for your soul’s life. Pruyer Is the key. that un locks the Word.

Two things have often struck thought­ful observers of the religious life—the maturest-saints are those most saturated with the Bllile, and those who read it most lovo It the best, and find the most In it that is fresh* and new. In my early ministry I had occasion frequently to visit an aged man who had been for-many years bedridden. Ills spiritual life was constantly fed from the perennial fouur talus, and I always found him serene, and ofteu triumphant. Oue day I found him with a.large copy of the Psalms in his thin white hands, and said to him, “ Father Knapp, you do not seem,tired of the Word.” “ Tired of. the Word!” he answered; “ no, Indeed. • I have rend the whole Bible through slxty-sevep times, aud am now as for as the Psalms iu my sixty-eighth reading of. it; nud I declare to you, pastor, I have found more in It that Is fresh aud new this time than ever before?’ Truly, “ thy- testimonies : are wonderful.” By some means, by all means, exalt the Word. “ Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom * * Exalt her. and she shall promote thee.”- Bishop Foss, in Sunday Sckoul Times. ■'

Mrs. M.S. Dunbar, of Philadelphia, in a state of seriously impaired health, is at the Ocean Grove Hygienic Institute for rest and recovery—a good place to secure both these desirable results.

Class-meeting attendance at St. Paul’s M. E. Church is well sustained. Rev, Wra. Franklin’s Monday evening class is usually a reviving occasion, which members aud others always find it profitable to enjoy.

The fishermen are resuming active bus­iness and almost dally their boots ride the breakers to the fishing grounds. Fish : wagons are also making their tiips around : Grove, and Park with greater regularity.

Colonel Patterson will have to excuse his many friends who, from force of habit, still use the subordinate title of “ Major.” By the way, Colonel, accept our heartiest congratulations on the deserved promotion.

Mr. Huut, of the Atlantic has done the same thing.

Special Tours to the South.A striking illustration of advance in a

decade is the fast time and equipment of the'speciaf trains used by the Pennsylva- . nla Railroad in Its serial personally-con­ducted tours to Jacksonville. The train is co'nuected by the vestibulb feuiure, which destroys all annoying motion, and is com­posed of drawing-room, sleeping, and smoking cars, and a diulug car, on which meals nre prepared by a chef, whose popu ­larity exteuds not only to the epicure, but to all.

The accompanying Tourist Agent aud • Chaperon, au original idea with this com-' pnuy, have received such marked praise that a tour now would not be complete without them. Wheu consideration is given the exceptionally low rate of. §150 from New York, and $48 from Philadel­phia, Including the above described mode of travel, and meals en route lu both direc­tions, it is a wonder more business-worn men and women tired with exacting social duties, don’t avail themselves of this op-- portunity for a rest.

Despite tho mild- Northern winter, tho first aud second tours were filled up, and' the third, which loft Tuesday, the 4th lust., carried'Its full quota.

The next tour is announced for Febru­ary 18th. Details can be obtained from S. W< F. Draper, .849 Broadway, New- York, -or W. W. Lord, Jr.', S05 Washing­ton street, Boston; while itineraries can . be procured from any of the Penrfsylvunia . Railroad tlcket-oltices..

(From, o u r Regular Correspondent;} * .;; •

• , Washington Letter.' rWASiiixGTd.v, D. C., PeU. 12, 1800.

0 ne- of. the moat far-renching and strin­gent measures against liquor that ever at­tempted to be enacted, made its appear­ance in the U. S. Senate on Monday last. I t was introduced ,by Miy Platt, tlie junior

. Senator from Connecticut. Indeed this is its second appearance rftnlljvforthe Sena­tor says It is tlie very same bill that he in­troduced last year, only it did xiot receive the attention it deserved from the commit­tee, and was never reported. This session he says lie is confident it will meet with u better reception, nud that some action will be taken on it.

This measure absolutely iwoiiibits • the• manufacture, sale,- or. importation into the

District of Columbia of any kind of Intox* icating liquor, including wine, beer, ale,

• porter and' cidor when- it is to be' drunk on the premises where sold. I t even pro*, vides against treating, making-it a penal offense to give it away, and in this respect adds to the prohibitory clauses the. ger­mane part of the ontl-treating laws which exist in several of the States, ,

,The only use for 'which liquor Can be sold is for medicinal and scientific pur­poses. To secure it, • one must have the prescription of a reputable physician, and the druggist who . sells it. is obliged to write the name of the purchaser across the prescription, and at the end of each month send them to the District Commissioners for inspection. In this way. it i_s. proposed to compass; the' difficulty whicii has icon- fronted prohibitory efforts in .Kansas, for

• instance, where the drug’ store with a ' liquor prescription counter flourishes, tosuch a distressing extent.• Then, w'lien spirits are Wanted for me- cbanical or .scientific, purposes, the pur­chaser is required to make an affidavit

1 stating the particular purpose for which it is to, be used, before its Sale'can be lega’. ized. These; .aflldavits; like physicians'; prescriptions, must. be ; sent to; the Com­missioners each m o n th .E v en the inost stringent regulations are thrown around, the sale of wine for sacramental purposes. Only the pastor of it church is allowed. to

: purchase it, and then only on a written ap­plication. For the violation of any of its provisions, a ' penalty of 'from §100.to .§500 fine, and not more than six months impris- * oi iment ;are‘p r o v i d e d . j

The number . of temperance - meetings •v held in this city under the management of

the Order of Good Templars, is coi^stantly increasing. On last Sunday! •afternoon four different meetings w*ere - held at thes a m e h o u r . ' !.?■>; . ‘ V----,: ';T

: The;, ladies of tlie Wi C. T. tJ. .again want Congress to pass an act providing for

. a vote on the liquor question in the .Dis­tric t of1 Columbia, and Congressman Cut- cheon, of Michigan, has agree(r ;to intro­duce such a b i ll . .

In . a .recent temperance ' address .here, General Cutcheon said that therew as! blit- one standard of temperance, and that was total, abstinence from.everything injurious- in its.effect. He said - each jeforin mu^t be' an individual reform,- because it is an individual disease. -Education; was the

‘ thing needed in temperance reform. The best work • done was with the children.. The habit oncb formed grows, like a spi­der’s web to the cable. General Hamil­ton once, said j if you would reform a man, first reform ;Uis grandmother. - ;; The Speaker said that prohibition lu the

; District of Columbia must .lie gained by agitation and the s ballot; .that a general prohibitory liquor law, if passed by Con- gress, would not be enforced; that -public sentiment is law in this country, and that public sentiment- must be created to make

• and enforce law. He expects; good tem­perance legislation from tlie present Con-

• gress.-The House of Representatives is. now

engaged in quietly debating Its new code of rules, and every qitizen interested in what Congress may do tills session, is doubtless anxious to see it adopt these rules as soon as possible, and settle down to some real business.

Delegates to the recent colored conven­tion held in this city, hold conflicting opinions as to the outcom.e of-the; confer­ence.., Sir. Taylor, ex-minister to Liberia, til inks it was. a complete failure, and that it demonstrated beyond all• question the

7' incompetency of the negro: for self-gov^ ernment. On tho other bund, Dr. Turner, of Georgia, thinks much good was'accom­plished, although excitement, confusion and disorder prevailed. He says It was a difficult body to handle, but so is the House of Representatives. ; *
