Our Pulpit. CHRIST'S CX)MINO—IS IT PRE-

MILLENNIAL? A paper read by tbe itev. 8. n. KaUogy, liJi., protetmot of

theology In the PronbyUiriikn Beratnary, AUecbeny, Pa. road b«fi>re the I'rophvUa Coufereaee tn New York-

Th a t the Lord JtiHUs Christ, in his glorified human nature, In yet to return to th la^r t

is, itnd alwtiyH hu8 been, the faith and hope of the church. In this article of ialth Jproteet^ and l-tonianLst, Greek and Oriental Christians, are a agreed. That same Jetiim which was taken up from us into heaven shall so come in like manner »8 ho was seen to go. The so-called Millennarian controvenjy has never involved any doubt as to the fact that there is to be a .literal bodily return of. the risen Jesus, in the clouds of heaven, to this very earth which witnessed his humiltation anc rejection. Tho undivided church Joins, with one uo(;ord, in those words of the 7e Deurm "We be* lieve that thou Shalt come to be our Judge." Nor is the question before us whether this world shal liecome subject to Christ; nor whether the preach hig ot the gospel shall be a success. Nor does tbe question before us concern the absolute time tho coming of the Lord, Concerning that the testimony of tho word of Ck>d is most emphatic; "Of that day and hour knoweth no man; no, no tho Son, but only my Father which is In heaven." Nor 14 there any question between Mlllennarlans and others as to the essential nature of the resur-rection life upon which all agree that all believers shall enter at the coming of the Lord. As was the iKxly, and as was the resurrection life of our Lord, so beyond all doubt, according to the abundant testimony of the word of God, shall be the resurrection iKxlies and the resurrection life of his people.

For the present we confine our attention strictly to the precise jwlnt before us, which we may state as /ollows: Docs the word of God teach, that, prior to the advent of the Lord Jesus Christ, v«re are to look for the conversion of tho world to him and a prolonged season of universal peace and prevailing righteousness, or does it teach the con* trary? Some have supfkMied that the expected conversion shall bo literally unlversai. A greater number, probably, seem to think that very many in tho aggregate may remain inwardly unre* newedi but that on the whole the groat minority will be truly converted unto God. Othera seem to expect little more than a merely nominal and outward profession of Christianity by the nations of tho world as such, and the practical recognition of tho principles of tho moral law la social and political life. Tho happy state of things to be brought about sooner or later by the preaching of the gospeCor whatsoever sort It be, it is believed will continue for a very long time, which Is called the Millonnium. Its duration, it is commonly argued from Bev. xx., will not bo less than a thourand years. After that it is understood that the Bible teaches that there will bo a general apostasy firom tho fiaiUi, which will bo shortly aud finally brought to an end by tho return of the Lord to Ju%ment, when the present ordcn* of Utingi will pass away forever. If this is the teaching of the Scriptures, then It is plain that the coining of the Lord is not even poaslblo for more than a thousand years to come, and how much longer no one era toll,

As opposed to all this Pre-mUlonnlolists believe, that, although the gospel shall .indtad be over

more and more widely spread abroad, yet the word of God gives us no reason lo look for any radical and real spiritual change in the condition of the world till the glorious appearing of the Ijord. This, then, In a word. Is the question Du the Scrlpturt» teach, or do they not, that the world is to be converted btjfore the rt'tura of the Son of man ? Do they tettch that the kingdom ol Christ Is to be establlshed'ln the world before the coming of tho King, or do tliey teach the con-trary?

It Is often charged that the arguiuents of the Pre-mlllennlallsti on this subject rest chiefly, if not entirely, upon the more obscure and symboli-cal portions of the Scriptum. It is even said by some that their case rests chiefly. If not eutlrely, upon a certain interpretation of Rev. xx. touchint' the tirat and second resurrecrtlon.

It is proposed, therefore. In the present inquiry to wave reference* to tho prophecies of the Ohl Testament and the symbolic portions of the Bible generally. Wo shall all agree, that, in our in terpretation of the Bible, the interpretation of that which Is obscure or symbolical Is to be de-termined by that of those portions which are evl dently to be taken In a literal and dldaatic sense. Especially must the New Testament be ever al lowed to determine the interpretation of the Old, and not the reverse.. On these principles all wise interpreters of every school must agree. What, then, saith the Scripture on the subject before us?

1. The first notable fact bearing on tho decision of the question before us is the utter abeence of any statement in tho New Testament that any such period of universal conversion and long-prevailing righteousness is to be witnessed previ-ous to the coming of the Lord. This Ikct la jie-culiarly notable and significant in the case of the apostle Paul. Here is the very chief and prince of all missionaries, holding his commission direct from the Master, taught, as ho tells, not by any : Uliblc, or even inspired man, but directly by the Lord himself, and his Spirit. More than once he ells us of the motives that urged him on, and

filled him with a eeal for the salvation of men which has been rarely equaled, and never ex-celled ; but never does he state that his motive was found in the expectation that the world was to be converted by his preaching, or that of any other man. He speaks, indeed, of a time when all Israel shall be saved; but that does not affect he precise fact which we now urge,—that no-

where does , he represent the subjugation of tho world to Christ as the motive which was the nspiration of bis unequaled labors and sufferings. 2. But we may go yet further. Not only does

ho New Testament nowhere state that the in ended result of tho prcaching ot the gospel in lis dispensation Is the conversion of the world to

C od, but, when that object is formally stated. It is s ated in terms which imply the exact reverse of this. We may safely say that, in the whole Bible, among the formal statements of the object of tho >reaching of the goepel by Christ's ministets, hero is not a single ono which states that oh|ect to

be the conversion of the world to God. If we ate :o expect a millennium of righteousnibs trafore the Lord's return, how Is this fhct to be accounted or?

Agttin, any theory which, like the modern >0(d*miUennlal doctrine, Interposes a period be-oro the advent so long that it should bo known

OS impossible within the lifetime of any individual generation of believera Is irreconcilable Mfith tho repeated Btatementi of the Scripture that wo know

nottheday "when the Ufaster will return from tho far conntry," whither he has gone; whether his oomihg will be In the fint watoh, or in tho second watch, or at the cock crowing, or In tho morning." According to these words it was far fh>m being certain that he would not come untIK almost the morning watch; that it was represented as likely enough, for anything that his people knew to the contrary, that he might come even in the first watch of the night. So far flrom there being any revelation which should warrant any generation of believera in aasamlng that tho coaling of the liord was a thousand years or more away, this postponement, as it were, of the coining of the Lord Is In utter oppostibn to all t h ( ^ statements of tho word ol God that we know not tho day of Christ's appearing. On this subject Archbishop Trench has well and truly said: " It Is a necessary element of the doctrine concerning the second coming of Christ that it should be possible at any time that ho generation of believers should r ^ r d It as impoaslble in theirs." Those, therefore, who fix a time In tho distant Ihture before which Christ cannot come^ equally with those who fix a tinre In the near present by whloh h« must oome, trtaco themselves in conflict with this word of tbe Lord^

4. And this argument becomes even more forci-ble when we consider the duty which, hi view of this utter uncertainty of the time of the advent, is everywhere urged upon the diaolples of Christ in all ages to watcli continually. (Matt xxlv. 42, etc.) Now, on the common hypothesis that the entire world is to bo conver t^ and continue in that happy state for centuries before the Lord can oome, how is it possible for any generation of be-lievers receiving that theory as a certain truth to> watch for the coming of the Lord ill! that ex pected millennium shall have come and gone? Ist It a possibility for a believer who la assured that the coming of the Lord ia at least a. thousand years away to watch for that conilng in hla liflh time ? For it Is plain that the mental stat» or aoi of watching fbr a person I mpUes not only a general expectancy that the person will coouie some time Dut beyond a doubt inviilves^ n4 a necearory con

dition, the l)ellef that the person may come at any time. Inasmuch, therefore, as i o candid person will deny that the Lord doei command his dis-ciples in all ages to watch for his coming, it follows irresislibly that the Ix>rd intended that we should think of his advent as always possible,, and forbids us to interpose any such fixed period! of time between us and his cotiaing as shall makei It impossible for us to believe that he may com* in our own day*

6. Again, as the state of the church la unVAwnily described in the New Testament as osm of de-jection and humiliation until her Lord BhAli come, so also do the same Itoiptures describe the state of the world during the same period in terms which are simply exduslve of any general con> version of tho world to the true iUth prior, to the advttit. Thiir gospel of the kingdom, said tiie Savior, shall Indeed bo preached In all the world. But why 7 fbr the conversion ol* the world f This Is not what he says, hut "for a.witnen." And may not that witnessing go on until all tho ends Of the earth shall hear and also obey him t That ogain Is hot what he but mthdr, when this witness shall have reached all nations " then shall the end come." (Matt. jadv. II.) And In the parable of the tares and wheat, w expounded fbr us by th'ti Savior himself, wo iu« explicitly taught that the taree, or children ol the wicked on^ ara

J^rguio prove this fact Is eucuml>ent just here, for the which It may be necwmry lo re-wauiUio Home of tiie t<'«tlmony already gone over. I shall first, then, exmnlno tho tyjie of this covenant iiiado with Aliraham. Here as before reniarke<l,, we And only a typlwU covennut mado with Abra-ham The promls^Hl poêsslon Is typical of a rt-generated (>arth, tho i?e»d or token typkiil of a re gencrat" heert, the natural seed of Abraham tyi^ leal of the ollVprlng of Christ by faith. Ab Abra-ham stood at the head of literal Isra< l, s?) Christ Htnnds at tho head of spiritual Israel.

Abrahaui i i sccoml p!<rty in the tyiH', and in

this type ho reprt'«>nts Christ. Therefore (;hrist

is wK'ontl party to the Covenant of lt«l<<piIon,

which is the antetyiMJ, This is logical, and cuh-

cluHive proof upon this jmrt ot the wibject. David

again,in Ixxxlx. 27-28, nays^ff Christ,sjHsiking

bv divluo inspiration: "A l so I will, make him

niy first Iwrn, idgliur than tho kings of tho eartli.

My mercy will I keep for him forcverniore. and

my covenant shall stand fant with him. His seed

al.so will 1 make to endure forever, and his throne

us thy days of heaven." Again in vorst« .'14, JJ.**,

37, lie says, " M y c<»veiiant will 1 not break,

nor alter tlio things that is gone out of my life.

t»nce have i sworn by my liolntw^ that 1 will not

lie unto I »avi(i, His Hee«i shall endure forever and

his tlirono ;is tlio sun before me. It shall be

cstabllshi'd forever as tfie moon and as a faithful

wltniHS in heaven." It may bu oltjwtetl that this

luH rcft!r<>uce to David ouly, and not to Chrht. 1

answer, if to David at all, ouly In" his olllcial

«ipacity us a type of Clirist. Too much said here

for David, son of J a w only. Still other proof

from the ()l(l Testament ctuild brought. (See

ProvcriM 8th chapter). But to piK^ to the New

Tivtaioeiit hk-rii>tun?s, we find msuy pii.s.-.ages

that are pregnant with meaning while we keep

this covenant in view; othorwlso they ar<> mean

InglcKS. Such are tiio following: Tilus 1. 2. In

hoi»e of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie,

promised liofore the worl.l began." " Grace given

u-j in t;lirirtt Jesus Ijefore the world began."

(2 Ttui. i. jilt.i "According as he hath chosen us

in hlin iK'tore the four.dation of the worid."

(Kph. I. 4.) Hear tho t;iimax. Tliere was

eternal life promisetl to every iK'llever in Christ

Jesus iMHoro the worUl began. TluU grace that

distinguishes and saves every Iwliever was given

them in (;nri.st l>efore tho worhl began, and tJiat

choice that scaires the blessings of God upon

every believer was made in yiirlst beforo the

foundation of the world. " He Imth from the

beginning chosen you to salvation." •• Where-

fore serveth the law. Then It WHS added, bocaaso

of transgrmsion till tho soed should come to whom

the promise wiw made, anil hoatulh not and to seed

as of many, but of one ami to thy seed which is

Christ." "Then If ye bo Ctirlst's, yo are Abra-

iiftiu's seed and heirs luicordlng to tho promise."

Tliat tho Covenant of llodeiniitlon or promise of

eternal llfo was originally made before the found-

ation of tho worid, with .nwus Christ as the socond

party, and not with Abraham (as some men

tetich), or any other mortal man In this worid.

Thore is not tho shadow of tho shade of a doubt

In my mind, as to the tlmo this covenant was

made. .1 think the numerous quohitlons already

made ought satisfy any unbiaBe«l mind. Paul tells

us. Gal. Hi. 17, that the covenant was conflrnKxl

In Christ, not Abraham, four luuulre«i and thirty

years before tho law, bringing it back precisely to

Abraham's day. That it ha.l existence before

cohtlrmatlon Is self-evldont. Ergo it exlst^nl be-

fore Abraham's day. I f not, all of Adam's race,

Infant and adult, believer and untM'llever are hwi

to (dl eternity. But Christ wiw as a. lumb slain

from tho foundation of tho worid, hence wi; sets

tlmt tho eovonant was made prior to the craition

of man. Yet the promlw of uternal life In Christ

Ilea still behind this. In the llllmltablo ug(>s of

Hternlty, how far back wo know not, neither dws

It concern us,-—by this covenant or prOhilse we

are siiviHl, that's enough for U8.

But says an objector, tiian must have covenaut

relation mIIIi God or ho can't lie e.ived. True,

but tills covenant relallon must ho by fhefailli of

Jesus Christ, with whom the covenant or proniNc

was made. If thou art exiKJctlng such relations

any other way , thou art mlsttCkeh, oh^ man who-fi0(!ver thou art. / - . ,

692 THIC Bj^LFTISge^ CHATTANOOGA LETTEB.

COBRESPONDINQ with a tomUy pupftr 1h much like writing to ono'a Irlendi. If it

were necnmry In consldortlon of any friendly ap-preciations on the part of our patient and uoUd old friend, THK BAITIOT, to offer an apology for a period of silence, I.would bo sure to say unfelgned-ly, it la not on account of any fttlilng off of inter-cat in and love for the paper. I have been greatly delighted with its reappearance since the epidemic, and am pleased to note not only its former vigor and (r«8hne88,but a great improvetnent In editorial matter, its contributions and the general ruHke up of the paper.

Though "praise is comely for the upright" the need of its bestowment is not always apparent. Papers, like puddings, must bo proved to be ap-preciated; and to one tried and proved JW h»is been TUB BAITIST there Is no nee<l of cheap praise being bestowed.

The year of 1878, soon to be numbered with the ages of the past, has been in many respects, a re-marakable one. In the old world, it has closed a mighty and gigantic struggle, the result of which is the guaranty of religious freedom to millions of the down-trodden and oppressed subjects of the tyranical Bultan, and the reduction of that onc<? mighty empire to tlie position of a mere depend-ency among the nations of the East.

The dejith of Pope Pius the IX., and the acces-sion of Leo XIII., and the deatli of Victor Eman-uel, king of Italy, are also among the important events of the year.

Franco in her record this yejir has written some splendid pages in her history. The elections that have occurred show a steady, patient, persist-ent onward movement of the people In the estab-lishment of Free Qovernment and in l)ehalf of civil and religious liberty. The outlook of Ger-many is not so encouraging. While France emerges from terrible adversities, purified anu strengthened, Germany, reveling in her triumphs and drunk with her prosperity, exhibits neither the strength nor lofty purpose of her fallen adver-sary. The German Empire Is not only groaning under business depressions, but clashing with fierce political and social strifes; and is even now quaking with fear of extinction at ttie hand of assassins.

Great Britain has added new laurels to her al-ready brilliant crown by the victories she has won in the field of diplomtacy.

Whatever may be the out-come of it, it must be admitted that her prime minister, Disreall, has been brilliantly successful, and that her Influence oil European politics is not at least on the wane, «s has been supposed.

The terrible famines of India,China and portions of Africa have bdfh calamities at the recital oi which we all have stood aghast. But already the good hand of the Lord is seen in them. From India the tidings come of thousands turned from klols to^serve the living and true God—a result that la attributable directly to the famine that preceeded.

In our own country, the year will be remem-bered as a year of calamity in our own Southland.

' Thousands of new made graves, together with as many desolated homes, into which coffins have silently glided bearing away the loved ones, these remain as evidences of the wide-walling, desoiiat-Ing sweep of this fever-scourge. For many, oh, how many, has the year been one of calamity, sorrow and gloom I

portion of the land. EsiKMsially is this gmtifylng in the present condition of our divldwl wuntry. In the language of another, " A nation onco di-vided has met around the beds of its sick and dy-ng, and what glittering sto(4 and thu cannon's

roar had assayed In vuln, has been accomplished jy one touch of nature, that makes all the world akin." J . M. PnUSUI'S.

FROM TEXA8. DITOU BAPTIST:— In TUK BAI'TISTOF the

Hth,: Inst., C." asks the question, "Should ministers Iw wholly sustained by the churches thoy serve ? "

lA't mo ask first, Should any one Morvt! as nlder uioro than one church? Second, Should any church bo contented with just one eklurt ^V(f think not. History tells us that In tho llrst and second century every church had thriH) oi: four, and In Acts xlv. ;J3, we ar« told they onlaluwl elders In every church. More than one In ovt>ry church. See Acts xv. Z't; xx. 17, Phil. I, 1, Tltas I. 6.

If it was needful and right for cach cluirch to have more than one elder when they had t he in-spired apostles to toach them, Is It not so now? Now it thi'so are facts, shouhi " K. C's." question be answered affirmatively? Or should thtw» three or four or more elders In every churoh IH wholly sustained by their church?

Have we a "thus salth the Lord" for It? In Paul's address to the elders of the church at Ephesus, (Acts xx. 17 to 86,), lie holds himself up to them as an example and ho tells them ho coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel (verse 33,) and in the 34th he shows them how he sup-ported himself and those that wero with him.

Was It with his hands, or was It the church that supported him ?

In the 86th verse did Paul tell the elUeii^to make the church pay them a stated salary and wholly sastaln or did he commend them In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to do as he had done? He says to them, " I have shewed ye all things,how that so laboring ye ought! [ye ought!! ye ought! IIJ to supiiort the weak, and roniembor the wonis of the Lord Jesus, how lie wUtJ, It Is more bk'ssefl to give than to receive." It would seem to mo from the reading of the 27th verso of this same address, It was a part of the counsel of Ood for elders of the church to do as Paul had done.

In Paul's second letter to the church of the Thessaloqlans (lu which there was a plural num-ber of elders, see Acts xlv. 23.), He says to them 2 Thess. 111. 8: "Neither did wo cat any man's broad for nought; but wrought with labors and travail night and day, that we might not be chaiêable to any of you." 9th verse: " Not be-cause we have not the power, but to make our-selves an ensample unto you to follow us." What was these elders and these other brethren to do? They wero to follow Paul's example—not to eat any man's bread for nought, and was not to be chargeable to any. 10th verse: " For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat." Let every reader examine the 0th v^rse of this chapter. He commenced by commanding them in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Why is It there is so many churches wanting young single men as 6Ider when God's word re-quires them to bo old men, and married ? See 1 Timothy ill; Titus 1. Yours In Christ.

In reply to my statement of the length of timo I had preached to Boyd's Creek Church, Hrotlicr Shields sajTi, " Brother Bennett has not prcui-hcd for Boyd's Cn?ek Church for the last twenty ycurn for they have had Itussell, Morton, anti Atcliby during that time." Let tho records (»f that churcli settle that matter, I took the care of that churuli In tho spring of 1847, and served without internils-slon until the fall of 18C3-Elder J .

I have no c<iiii-ment to make, touching this matter, Brotlier Shields Introduces Prof. Goforth to prove tlmt I am art Arinlnlan. I have a written statement from Prof G., which la as follows; " I never said one word to Brother Shiolds or any one el«', whlcli wtu) intended as a reflection on your faith, in any way," and then ho added, "that you was dwld-odly opposed to ultra Cidvinlsm." Brother ShiclilH charges that I teacî salvation by Grace and Works conjoined. 1 deny, and demand tho proof. In tho close of the wjolnder Brother Graves wiyn, "If Brother Bennett ever declared ho stood on Armlnlan ground, then Brother Shields cluirhn-s that he holds to salvation by Grace and Worko conjoined, and If ho holds and teaches that the passages work out your own salvation with fear, trembling, etc., Is applicable to sinnew, thon Brother Hhlelds's charge Is true." 1 do not hold any such thing, nor do I know of but one niun who docs, and he is a Calvlnist; he ustis that, and the following verso as a proof text. I now leave the public to Judge between as.

TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT. THE friends of temperance In Tennessee are

using active measures to securtv by the Ijegls-iHtnro the passage of a Local Option I^w. The design of such a law Is to allow every town, vil-lage and nrtghborhood to decide (or itself whether tippling houses and groceries of all sorts shal exist or not. Such a law we think Is eminently fKlr. If any community desires t(» ôster tho rum trnttlc, with all Its well known rest, ts upon Indl vlduals, families and society, why, let It do so by actual iH!tltIon of ILs cItiaenH. People of different vlew.s need not complain, if Sodom Is not suited to tlielr tiifite, they can seek a place of better monilrt. On the other hand,, the Local Option Law gives protection to this clii-ss. It shields them from the nuisance of tippling houses of every grade. It secures gootl order, low taxes, and gen eral prosiwrity. It removes temptation from th» young, and from those who are trying to reform

We hope our readers in each county in thisState will make vigorous efforts to circulate petitions to the U'glslature for the i>as3age of the proi)osed law. What Is done must bo done at once. Al" petitions should bo sent to Nashville by Jan. 20th

A unlte«l and earnest eftort on the part of the thoral and Christian people of Tenuessee, will. In til probabllty, be crownttl with success, If not a present, In tho near future.

The Baptists ol the State, in their capacity as cltizent;, h ivo nov. ..a opportunity of showing the world wliere the.\ s'. ind on tho question of tem perance, good order and general morality. As mtinbors of churches, Baptists have an uncnvlub notoriety as the friends and protectors of wiilskey tot)er9. It Is a sad truth that there is some ground for popular opinion. It Is well known that drunkcnnrss gives much trouble to some churches while In others It is Impossible to discipline mem here who use Intoxicating drinks to excess.

"Whiskey loving Baptists" is an ugly proverb that the churches should no longer tolerate. As no drunkard can enter tho kingdom of God, so no drunkard should exist in a Baptist church. Th Is a matter which churches, as such, should look after and control.

But moinlK'rs of churches hold Important rela tlonsto government as citizens, and those relations create certain political and dv l l obligations un( duties. While a Christian man looks to the good order, purity and integrity of his church, ho equally bound tf» look to the good order, puri tnd moral healthfUlncss of tho society in which he lives. The State has clalmff upon him which he cannot rightfully ignore. In his iralitical sphere ho la a law-mAktir, and he Ui retponnible to God KBd odfttscletico fof tho lawn hd makw.

T H K BAJPTIST. portew of the proposed Local OpUon Law. There are many reasons why they should do so. ISTJBMPERANOB I» T H B OHIKF CAUSK OP CLTLMK.

Chief" Justice Noah Davis of New York, recently said, "Among all causes of crime intemperance stands out the unapproachable chief. Whenever and wherever Intemperance is moat prevalent crime is most abundant. Crime Is the mercury of a iwlitlcal and moral thermpmeter which intera-perancn, and its oppoaltoi, affect as heat and cold. This recognized fact has created an elementary

rinciple In tho criminal common law—that runkennoss Is no excuse for crime." After referring to the testimony of the great

ludg<>8 of England, " that two-thirds of the crimes which come l»efore the courts are occasioned chiefly by intemperance," Judge Davis gives similar testliuony from Judges and other ofllclals in this country.

The State Board of Charities In Massachusetts, for 1867 says, " the proportion of crime traceable to this grcMit vice, must be set down as. not less than four-llthH," and her Inspector of State Prisons u 1868 give tho same proportion.' Speaking of New York Judge Davis, says, "the

:c8tlniony of our Board of Police Justices In their reiwrt for 1871 if, that Intoxication is the great leading caitê that renders the existence of our Police Courts necessary." " i t Is established be-yond argument by official statistics—by the expe-rleu»;e of courts—by observersatlon of enllgthened philanthrophlsts, that the prevalence of Intem-wrauce In every country Is thestandard by which ts crimes may be uietwureil." The murders, the

arsons, the thefts, and the debaucheries that form the history of every day are traceable In almost every case to tho use of intoxicating drinks.

ILKNKFITS OF IXX'AL OPTION I.AW.

Judge Davis further says, tho relation of Intem-lieranoe to crime Is plainly manifest where intem-; KTance Is repressed by piirtlal or complete prohi-bition. The cases of towns and villages where no iquors have Ijwm idlowed to be sold furnish strong

evidence. Vineland, N. J . with Its 10,000 people without a grogshop, and with a police force of one constable, who Is also overseer of the poor (with a salary for both oflices of $75,) rejjorts in some years a single crime, and a poor rate swelling to the aggregate of *4 a year. Greeley, In Colorado, Is another town of 3000 people, and no liquor shop. It uses and needs no police force, and in two years and a half $7 only was called out of Its poor fund. Bavonia, Illinois, a town of the same population, is without a drunkard, witliouta crime.

In Connecticut, under the prohibition law of 1854, crime diminished 75 percent; on the restora-tion of license In 1871, crime Increiwed 60 per cent In a single year; and In two years. In the City of Hartford, crime Increase*! 400 i)er cent. Exam-ples of this kind can be multiplied indefinitely. In view of the terrible evils of Intempemnce, tho relgnofcrlme, the floods ol vice, the destruction of life, character and property, the ruin of families, thebllghtedhopesof wives, the disgrace and im-poverishment of children, and the eternal exclu-sion of the drunkard from the klndom of God, we appeal to our rimders to unite with their fellow-cltlaens throughout the State In their eflUrt to s e c u r e tho passage of a local option law from tho proHcni legislature.

BKEVITIES.

' Dr. G. W. Griflftn of Brownsville was to have preaclied at tho First church last Sabbath, but was prevented by sickness.

Times are hard, but surely almost any one of our present rpatiers can secure two now names, and thus secure their own paper free. Make tho effort wow.

We call attention to the advertisement of Blck-ford Knitting Machine Co. Agency, in this lasuo. These are valuable machlnoa and warranted to be as they are repreaented.

The Central church Sunday-school Is In K floa^ ing condition, and namlMn somo hundred and fifty regular pupils. A fealival was gotten during the Christmas holidays for tho children, ana was quite an enjoyable alTair.

We publish an intereating letter from Bro. phllllpa of Chattanooga, this week j and we hope to have many more from his pen during the pree-•entyear.

We hope our friends will promptly renew their subscriptions for 1879. No labor or expenw twill be spared to make the imper worthy tho patronage of the Baptists of the South and West. DouH le» your name be dropped but renew^t once.

We take pleasure In laying before our rfeaden,. In this Issue the first installment of " Way-Notea*

1 from the Occident," firom tho pen of the editor-in-chief. Theae "Notes" will btJ found highly In-teresting and instructive—abountling in facts and llguref of permanent value to all Intereated in the • present and future history of the " F a r West." Others will follow in duo time.

We received a card from Dr. Tupper, Secretary Foreign Mission Board, Blchmond, Va., too late to lK5 Insertoil in December, urging those who had made special pledges to tho Bmrd to redeem tliem by Christmas or New Year. The money Is now needed to meet tho expenses of our mis-sionaries abroad; and those Who liave not made special plwlges could not do a better thing than to enclose a donation to Dr. Tiipper. I t would be a goo<I way to begin the incoming year.

We clip the following from the irfj«/cf» Jtewrder. By the co-operation of tho brethren and sisters of both It does seem as though the neccessary amount to send Miss Stein to her field of laîr can be secured: " We suggest to tlio Baptist ladlfit of Kentucky the deslmbleness of uniting their con-tributions for the present on Miss Stein, of Ten-nessee. Miss Stein has been adcepted by the Foielgn Mission Board, and is ready to start whenever her outfit is provided for. This much we can do now. If when this is done it swms better for U3 to contribute to another object^ we can do so. Wc earnestly beg for prompt action."

MISSION I T E M a It appears that the late trouble experienced by

the missionaries at Volos, Greece, were instigated by the priests. Hon. Horace Maynard of Tennes-see, Unlteti States Minister to Turkey, has inter-fered in iK'halfofthomMonark'S, and will look after their prosecution ol tho priests. There are nowsixty-llvo women's missionary societies organlêtl In South Carolina.-—Tho receipts of the American Baptist Homo Mission Society lor

11878 were largely In access of the year 1877.

UNItAllIAN AKTIFICE. Roman Catholics are not tlie only ones who de-

scend to low trickery to weaken other denonii nati<^nii of Christians to build up their own.

Tho following flrotn iin «bl(l correspondent In tho Standard altogether reliable, and is significant: —•

IN-l'-imaJTV. The gross assaults nmde U[>oii tlie BlbU' by Inli-

tlelity, under the Icadershif) of sucli men as Ingersoll, can <lo the caase ngainst which tliey light no harm.. Such wen only expose tlieniHelvi-s to i)ity and contcinpt from tlutse wiio note the Ignorance, shallowness, want of logic ot their inercjjnary, blasphemous tirades. Indeed, those bigoted tyrants, foolish declaimcrs, rather help thun hurt the cause they hate. Hence let Bob Ingersoll go his way, and furnish amusement for the curious, and remain as lie is,—an object of supreme conten»i»t in tho estimation oi all intelli-gent, right-thinking people. He will do no hurm.

But Intklellty is too wide awake to i)ut much value on the services of such men. The effort of Ingersoll, Train, Bonnet and others to (jhase re-ligion out of the country by oi)en attack is only a feint. Tills has been tried too many times Ijcfore. English Delsjn and German Rationalism, the two mightiest enemies with which Christianity has ever had to contend, signally faih^l. Ilopekw^ly failing in the fields of si)oculatlve plillasophy and physical science, It now falls upon another mode of attack, viz., insidious artifice. It w«mld take men by guile. It borrows tluf garment of piety, and comes In the form of an angel of light. As an illustration I refer to two recent volumes witli this significant title: The Bible for LearncrH. It is the Work of l)rs. Oort, ilookaas and Kuenen. It ombrnces " t h e history of the Jews during tho perioil covered by tho Old Testament," and Is written In simple language. Tho volumes are handsome, and are evidently " t h e fruit of great labor and thought, research and (sure in writing." Tho title Is captivating, the style simple ami i)er-spicuous. They are sent out by a great publlHidng »ouso; are ofrere<l for sale by all our large book louses. They have been widely noticed, and lave received from tho atK-ular press the very tiighCBt commendations. They profess to bo friends of the BIblo, and wish to simplify it, while they praise it.

Let our brethren everywhoro bo on the watch-out for this work,-—Tho Bible for Learners. Some agent, likely, will bo calling on ministers to en-courage the sttio of this most pernicious work; "or, with tho recommendations of tho secular press, together with the pleasing title of tho books, one is likely to bo convinced, without much eff'ort, that it is tho very book to put into tiio hands ot tho young. That all may see for them-selves tho following extracts from the work, made by the Standard, are appended: - -

"Speaking, in ' a word of preface' to vol. 1. p.«, of tho writeirs of tho Old Testament, the authors (Miy ; *A» a rule they concerned themselvus very iittlo wltii the question whether what tliey nar-

' If a narrative was with tho tjistes true.' On page

_ tho fortuntw of the patrlarciw teach us very little about a hoary pre-lilstorlG ago.' On page 2l occurs this dofinitlon of u prophet J 'Prophets were men who, fired with enthusiasm, sisiko as if inspired by some deity.' After giving tho Mosaic account of cruitlon, it is added, page 80s ' W e Imvo many grounds for valuing t h b legend highly; but we cannot regard it as a rotthful description of tlio lormation of tho world.' And on page flO it is added: 'As n Bciontlflc producti the narrative lifts ifo value; for

quite incr(<<l|. oven likely,'

It is imiH)HHlbillly itself,' (p. m ] , 1..W wdeat writer In GeowlH,' it is said, p. iw, had no elear notions of honesty or love of truth.'

The narrative of tho Passover ' dates from tho flrfit century after the Babylonian oiptivlty,' (p. 278).

In concluding the ace-tmnt of Mosifl we ars gravoly cautioned (p. 803), against * resting our religionii ebnvictlons upon supernatural reveln-lions.' Tho revelation to Most« 'was not HujH'r-natural.' Moses' conception of Ood, 'ns far as ho knew anything about It, was very imperfwit, {p. JW-l). Tho b(M)k ol Joshua is ' worked up from a religious point of view,' ' f rom i>opular tradition' (p. 3U), and Contains a ' false aeconnt of tho con-quest ' (p. 310). Tho two writers 'doubtksHactwl in gond fa i th ' (p. 8WI), ' and yet one can hardly help fiusiMX'tlng that they were more or less aware

their picture WJW not a faithful one ' (p. 352), The writer of the book of Judg<>s has 'h is own artUlclal system of chronology' (p.,8Cfi). 'Liter-ally undei-stood,' the story of Sampson' is alwurd' (p, '120), and 'exceeds tho limits of possibility,' Bonni of tho elements of thti books of Samuel jire ' simply Inventions which twurh ns more about the narrator's views and opinions than about tho past liistory of their people,' (i>, 133). David's

Htorv.' (Vol. 11. p. 1$)9). Its wr i ter 'had a thor-ougfdy false conc<'ption of the circumstancw of liis poopio In these days.' Vol. il. p. 20r>).

This is sulllcient to show that thest! volumeH uro tho moat dangerous. They make the Bible to be tho work of men merely, who wert! Ignorant, semi-heathenish, who made many misstatements and ntt<'red deliberate falsehoods. Such a work Bhould not be In the hands of learners, old nor young.

DR, OltAVtX'H LIKTRKIL.

1 niost heaitiiy commend Dr. Grnves's Letter No. I., in an8W<'r to Mr. Burruss on Universalisni. Beyond all question it Is masterly. Let all young ininLsters, and elderly ontss too, and all intelligent I»ors6ns who have over been troubled, in the least, un account of that subject, read, re-read, and patiently study that letter. I tell the truth when 1 say. It fairly meets the question in hand, and puts it in a light elear and unobjectionable to any candid mind. I know tliat a great many p<'rson8 have entertained serious doubts on this subject, of which they could not retvdlly rid themselves. To all such Dr. Graves's first Letter is of very great value. Mr. Burruss Is u racy, somewhat captiva-ting and vigorous writer, and, while his logical-sylogisms are all faulty, they appear to be properly constructed, and, therefore, unanswered would prove a great power. But Bro. Graves In very few words—Indeed too few—shows their fallacy. • H e answere seven of them, all Important, in tlio Ixjttor I have nientloned. Again, I say, let that liOtter be read and studied. I t Is valuable.

No trait of character Is n»rer, none more admlr-ul.io, than thoughtful Independence of the opin-ions of others, combined with a sensitive regard to the f i l i n g s of others.

Tlie humble man, though surrounded with tho scorn and reproach of the world, is still in peace for tlieHtiiblllty of his iMjaco rmteth not ui)on the world, but upon God.

God loves to give; and he loves toJmve his people give. He does not like to have them cov-etous; ho does not like to seo thorn hoard; so, wh<;n we learn to give, and love t» give, wo be-come like him.

The bc«t reciiHJ for going through life in an ex-..ulslto way with beautiful manner, Is to feel t ^ t everybody, no matter how rich or how poor, n ^ all the kindness they can got from others in tno world.

perhaps there is no part of tho New Testament which Is more helpful to souls desiring to live Kodly in Christ Jesus, and more iKjrtlnent to t iis question, tlmn tho Epistle to tho Hebrews. I t Is the Book of tho High Priesthood of J e e u s t h o ^ n of God. No ono can reail It and imagine that it was written for iMJopIo in whom tljorois no sin. If we were sinless we should not need thts Priest.

" AS a wife, her husband ttistUles: " No one ever appreclat(;d this relation more fully than she did Sho drew all her Ideas of this relation too, trom the Bible. In thU relation her homo was as perfbct as It is i>ossible In this world. H w wifely duties were a part of hor religion.

Her memory Avas so retentive that she could state facts In history and .lescrlbe ('haracters in literature with great accuracy,

8. Sho loved to give; to give that which was of material value. To her it was a realized troth tliat it is more blessed to glvo than to receive. Jesas Is the greatest giver and sho had tho Spirit of Christ.

4 She loved the cause of missions abroad as well as at homo. Sho did most of the work of coixospondence for her husband who w y the State Agent for tho Foreign Mission Board. She did ail sho could to interest the churches in this great work, and she gave joyfnlly of her own means lo advance tho conqueets of the gospel.

5. Sho mxWml an identity with Christ and his church. She was Je-ilous for the glory of Christ tlirougii the church. Sho would not attend relig-ious entertainments whoro sho thought the dlgnl-tv and glory of Christianity were sacrificed, or compromised. Sho was not willing that the praise of the good works of Clirlstlans which properly belongs to tho church, sliould bo given to worldly societies.

Oallfornin and Oregon, — which has not bec-n lessened by the urgent lettora received from our nnmerous patrons and friends In t h ^ Statra. Laat spring, Elds. Prior and Burroughs of the Bnc-ramento Valley, took the matter In hand in good earnest, and oiwnod up a corredpondence on the •ubject. Through them, ton churches invited UH to visit them the coming HEIII, and deliver to each the course of Ooctrlnial ^ rmons which had been •0 well received by the churches In the Southwest. We consented, and the appointmentit were accord* Ingly publlshM, the tint coiuse to be delivered in the Metropolitan Temple, Hau Francisco, com-mencing on the first Sabbath in September.

It may appear strange to some thai after tho appearance of the yellow-fever in Memphis, that we should have left our family to fultill theê engagement^. But the pubiisiiers were compelled to suspend the paper, the ofUce being la the In-fcctcd dUtrict, and Its publication could not be resumed before November, and we M'ould Iw free from editorial duties for two months or more. Our family wits living two and a half miles in the country, and our family physician. Dr. W. K Sogers, iiasured us that they would be as safe there as though fifty miles away, for in no former epidemic ot feVer or cholera had the neighbor-hood been Invaded. lu addition to these consid erations our noble wife said, " It seems to be your duly to go, and unless you take this opportunity you will never visit them.; and the Qo<I whom you serve will take care of us as well &s though you weie with us." So on the morning of tiie Stst we commended seven children and wife and a widowed sister, and four refugees from the city to whom we had offered shelter and food, to the protection of " our f ather In heaven," and entered the infected district to take the cars for St. Louis. There was a train load of refugees anxiously mwaittng for the signal to start, knowing we wore breathlDg the Infected atmosphere and perhaps impregnating our systems with the seeds of death. After a long, and it seemed to us a very long, de-lay the signal was given, and the curs shot ofT, and a great relief was visible on every countenance. The thought was, we had escaped the dreaded fever. Time only will tell If all our hopes were êll founded. We could but feel that some M'ere leaving to return no more,

The strict quarantine of St. Louis against New Orieans and Memphis enforced upon the Iron Mountain B(Mid at Belmont amounted to asusjien* 0IOD of travel upon that road from the South, and we poor refkigees from the plague, wishing to reach

, that famed clty,--ioA«re yeJUouhfevtr appeared and one dtathoomrred before Uwcu know in New Or-tern*,—were compelled to go around by Louis-yllle, at double the coat and time. We alone of'

>ftll, conceived that by striking the Nashville and St. Louis route at Guthrie we would save both time and expense, and catch a sight of Henderson and Evansvllle, and we found It even so.

We entered St. Louis on the eve of the 22d, with hundreds of others from the East and no qaestlona were asked t So much for the thought-fulness of the Board of Health, Wo were told l>y a physician that the Hotels were then full of yel-low'fever cases, but It was kept secret We took the night train for Topeka, the capital of Kansas, where we arrived for dmner next day, and ** laid over" one train. This Is a pretty and a thriving place. I t Is built upon a swell of ground that riM8 some thirty feet from the prairie tliat

i stretches out on every dde. The city is weli laid (mt, like a vast land ooean, substantially built and thorouglily drained.' If thb Is not a healthy city, then KanuaB certainly does not afford a healthful

I location. We were Invited to vhit the office of |th« Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fa Itailroad. The boUdlng Is a tubatantlal atone edlOoe owned

[by the company,'and the offleei most admirably l a m n ^ t and .the perfection of neatncM. Wo T«i9ver mbet more lirbane and eourteoiiA railroad l ^ c e w than A. P. White, the OenernI' WM^ntjfor

\gent, and A. 8. Johnson, the Ueneml Agent. It la a pleasure to have business to

transact with them. This road has f(>r ymrs ad« vertised its lands in T « R BAPTWT, and we were anxious to seo and learn something of them. This those AgentH kindly gave us every fnclilty to do. We not only naw the lands lying along the road from Toiwkn to Pueblo, but the ptisseugerri on the cars were mostly substuiitlnl furmerM who had cultivated thi'se lands from thrwi t<) five yeiw, luid from them we learned that they hiul roallKWl all and niure than had betm said of them.

Wo have before us the Report of fiie State Board of Agriculture sliowltjg thoavoniKO num-ber of bushijlH of grain raised upon thtô lands the past four years.

Wishing to make IheMe notert vrtluablo t«i thoHC of our readers who Intend to BOck now homes aiul virgin soil in the West, we wUl stiito a few facts as to the profluctlvent'FW of the IHIUIH upon this road known as the Arkansas Valley LaiKi>f, taken from tho Ofllcial Iloports of tlio Btato Connnls-sioncr for 1878. For the last four years they huve averagwl eighteen bushels of wheat {KT acre, forty-three busiiels of w»rn, t\v<Mity-one bushels of rye, thirty-eight busholn of outs, twenty-live of barley,—which as a whole Is bptt<'r than tho aver-age yield of the hinds in CuUfornhn. These lands are Iwth woode<l and 0{)(>n to Huit purchosew, well watered, or water near tho surfaro, and the price suits men ot liinitwl r.ieans,—from live to twelve dollars per acre, according to quality ami nearness to Depot,—with small payment down and five or ten years for balance, with interest. Any industrious innn with Hnmll moans can secure him a nice farm for stock luid grain in a few years, and if ho has not tho money ho can ren land here and make enough in a few years to buy him a home. The population is coming iu fast. In 1872 tho ntne countlfH of the " Valley " had Imputation of only 3,OH), in 1875 it was ao,»16, on the Istof March, 1878, it was 70,148,—a gain in three years of 39,232, or one hundred and twenty seven per cent! Indications jioint to even e gresiter 1 mm ignition tlie priwent fall than any preceding one. We oonveruwi with farmers from the rich lands of Indiana and Illinois, the great American bottoms, who told us that they regarded the soil of tho Arkansas Valley lauds quite equal to these, and had sold out at eighty and one hundre<l dollars per acre and were taking up these at eight and ten doiiars! The lands of what Is called the Big IJend and those in and around Wichita were spoken of as the most desir-able. We advise those who intend to move West to visit the lands on the Kansas, Topeka and Santa Fe Road and see them for themselves. All such can get reducwl rates of fare by applying to the special Agent at Kansas City or to M^). John son at Topeka, and should they purchase of the railroad company what they pay for their tickets will be allowed on first payment for their laud. No one need prospect farther than Dodge City,the only point on this road where cattle from Texas are allowed to ercjss Into Kansas. It is to quaran tine against the fever and other contagious dlseasea which Texas cattle would Introduce.

The country from Dodge onward to Pueblo, is good for notiiing save grazing purposes, and to our eye poor for that, but wheat and barley can be raised where the land can IHJ Irrigated.

PBUBLO. This Is an old Spanish town, and for a time had

some patronage from the mines, etc., most oi which has been transferred to

DKMVICU, which hua sprung tip into a beautiful and lively city of some 20,000. It id well built, and Is where miners buy their outfits, and a vast smelting fur-nace la now being built, that covers eleven acres of ground,—by far tho largest on the continent. Oolofado Springs and Denver are the jrreat resorts for invalids who need a high lattltude and pure air and water. Wo had not tlmu to stop oflT to visit the Garden of the GoUs,tho Springs or Pike's Peak, and the wonders of the moiintaltts.

We took this route that we might ehJoy the un* rivaled mountain scenery, aud we advise nil who prefer the most enchanting scenery, and especially If (hey have a few days lolsare to stop ofT, to take tHlN font* to Ottllfornlu, rather than the thousand mllen ol dead lovel, with Its intolerable heat and dust, encountered vfo Omaha.

ctrEYxmrB. This was once the most unclvUixed place east

of tho liocky Moimtalns, but is now a quiet and very pnHty jdace. The Peublo and Denver Iload muketi a Junction hero with U. P. Koad, and here we purcluwe<l a ticket for Ogden, aa we desigued t<j spend a couple of days at Salt Lake for the double puriKiHe of seeing tlils hiatorlcal place and learning the princii>l(M of Mormonism from tlie hps ot its leaders.

UlSAl'l'OIN'rMKNT, Wo were never more dlsappolntod in life thun

with the scenery in passing over the Ilocky Moun-tttluH. We had imagined that we would, at plaeew, attain great elevations—wind round and round amid towering muuntiiins — bodlazed gazlng d<»wn into deep canyon0,and bethrille<l with the wildcrit and most picturesque mountain scenery.; but In-stead, from Cheyenne to the Sherman House, tlie summit, the ascent was so gentle as to l>o impor-eeptible. i t waa like |>a«jing over an Immenso desolate plain, coveretl with saye bush— not a bird or wild fowl. Or even a prairie-dog, to be seen. Hero and there, In tho far distance, a mountain range. After an hours gazing out io see something that would impress one with the paasage over the Rot!ky Mountains, the eye becomes tired ami one settles back to piuw away the tedious liour», swelt-ering with heat and liulf sutrocating wilii diHt, trying to Interest hiiaself with llarpur or Frank Liwile, or upon failure to do so, to try u doze.

We saw a thousand times more to delight us in the one trip from Cioverdaie k* Ukiah, up the Russian Canyon, lu California, tlmn from Cheynne to Sacramento — and again from Ukiuh to Lock-port.

At Ogden wo took the waiting train for Halt Lake City. Ogden Itself is only a railroad town, tho hotels are near the tracks and deiieiui upon the trains for a supiwrt.

In the spring of 1846 there could be seen pouring tlirough the narrow Emuiigraut (Janyon sixteen thousand men and women, with wagoiiM uncount-ed, aud stock, all giving evidence of long and wearisome travel. The host call a halt, and stand looking down upon the valley that hty lieneath th&ni, fifteen or twenty miles in breadth and twice this distance in extreme length, with the placid waters of a lake at the northern extremity, stretching as far as the eye can reach,--one vast sheet a r l ^ . " W e have lound It." " We have found i t " echoing from mountain back to moun-tain, that never before hiid heard the sound of human voice. This was the advance forco of tho Moroiona who had been driven fvom Nauvooin 1844. They had been led across the plains in midwinter by Brigliam Young, who promised to lead them Into tho promised land, where, free from their enemies, they should biîd agai-a the Vemple of their God. Were the valley but turncfd half about, we do not believe that another place exists on the earth that would so nearly resemble the Valley of the Jordan., At the extreme oast, six miles away, is the Utah Lake of fêsh water, abounding In fine flsh. Out of this flows a small river which has been named the " River Jordan," which winding through the center of the valley empties Into Salt Lake, at the extreme northern extremity. Tho water of this lake is many (a gentleman informed us seven) times stronger than ocean water. Tho human body will not sink In Its waters. It has become a popular bathing plane. We Intend to try a bath in its waters.

.Sjcoiid. The hsp acts with greater force and prodyees ihore vigorous growth on a hr«nch/<)r shoot nrnnfil short than on one prWied long; hence the prjctiie of pruning tthori where wood braurJies are decited and leng for fruit branches

1 hird. The sap tending always to the ..'•xirpn.it.iea of the shoots causes tho ter-aiinal bud to push with greater vigor than the laterals.

Fourth. The more the br • la oh-atracted In it!i circulation the more likely it will be to produoe fruit buds.

Fifth. The Irnves rerve to prepare the sap HbDorlied by the tM>is lor the nourii«nmetit of the tree and aid the formation of buds (\n the shoota. All trees), therelore, deprived of their leaves are liable to perish.

Sixth. When the buds of any shoot or branch do not develop before the ago ol two years they can only bo -forced into activity by cloac pruning, and in mime cases, notably to peach, thla .even will often fall.

In relation to the season for pruning, the climate and nature of tho tree must settle tho question In a greater or le«» degree. As a rule, nt the south, wint«r pruning, performed soon alter th:> fall of the leal', is l.irgely practiced. In Uie north the mouths of February, March and even April are pof ular ones, though hardy fruits are not unfrequently pruned whenever the farmer has leisure time between tho falling of tho foliage to the second month of spring Mr. Barry and other trustworth]r cdltivntors advlao pruning the prach just as the bud begins t« swell, because the fruit and leaf buds are then easily distinguiahcd from ono another. Grape-vines, gooseberry and currant bushes can Iw pruned any time during the winter; if tho wood is treated for prop gation, trim before the aeuon ol'

' severe frosts, aa the huds are llablo to bo jn ured. Stone fruits arc rcccimmemleu to be lightly pruned, as too olose culti tends to the production ot gum.

TnuprocfW of curing sowed m m nec-ecpurily occupies some time,Since wh^n first cut it conuins eighty per cent, of water. One of tho best ways of curing sowed uuru. ia tobhid it and ict U tip io Ktocks^ as all corn is cut and set up. I f the bundles are of good Mte ancf well bound, and the stccka are well put to gether, being securely bound at tne top, the fodder will cure nicely and keep until fed out Jn the winter.

An J^g i i fh farmer, very succeaaful during ten years in fattening OHttle and sheep, supplied h ration made ai follows: Eight buMuels corn M)&ked in ten pails watei two days, then simmer for an hour, lafUiwafUs mix with fourteen jKmiidB cosrw. cheap sugar, and com mingle with cutstraw, hay or other fod' der.

FaF-Ncn gardeners preserve peaches in a fresh condition for a ctmsiderable time alter they are ripe, by sirnplv packing the irult, gathered while ripe before bt-Ing quite solt, in brau in rough- boxes and oy placing them tn a cellar, store-room, or any similar place. By this means it is reported that peaches are preserved in a perleet fresh and well-t iavur^ condition lor many weeks.

Our Pulpit. THE VALLEY OF D B Y B0NE8.

BY J. T. CUBIHTIAN, TUPKLX), MJ8».

.. Again he eald unto >"-pl.o.y Again ne eaiu uiii" .in-, " .4- unto them, O ye dry l>onea, hear the word of tlio Lord.

ran l i s la one of the utrangewt, and yet one of tho * most Instructive pmwaKCH In the word of God. Thlj» vhilon was given for the ben&ilt ol Israel; toshow them their condlUon, and their bopei of the future. Thewe" boneaarotbs wholehouseol Israel; behold, they miy, our boueH are dried, and our hop<' la lo«t." But GckI through the preaching of the Son man caused their graves to open; and he aent hlH spirit that they might live. " Then ahftll yc' know that the Lord has spoken it, und performed IV^ Not only was this given for the benefit ol ferael, but we may read and learn. Here Is an Illustration of the Inability and depravity of man - o f the power of the goepel to .save, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Let notice

I. Thedepravlty and Inability ot maii Perhaps there la no doctrine ao plainly taught In

the Bible, as the depravity of man. History, reaso-aud revelation alike declare It. The history ol thlfl world la written In blood. Every page in stamped with crlmea of the blackest hue. The deeds of great men all remind ua ofoppreasionand fraud; nnd what says reason? Bhe declares In the strongeHt language that all the world is guilty l>eforo God. In opening the holy volume I scarcely know where to b^ln . Plainly doea it dwd with the sins of man. Why read we ol the " m a n o f sorrows and acquainted with grief? What meanathat strange tragedy enacted on t^^ W j What means thoae dying groans of the Son of God 7 All, all announce that man waa guilty, and utterly lost, till help waa laid upon one that was mighty.

Early In the history of the world, "God saw that the wickedness of man WM great in the w t h , and that every Immaginatlon of the thoughts of

. the heart waa only evU continually. And It xe pentedthe Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grelved him at his heart." Gen. vl. 6, 6. Notice the language. Not only are the thougbta wicked, but eveiy Immaginatlon of the heart; and not only evU but evil continually.

Should you think that too strong only hear the following: •• God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to aee if there were any that did underatand, that did aeek God. Every one of them Is gone back; they are altogether become filthy; there are none that doe*^ ""J o n e . " k IIU. 2, 8. Compare Bom. III. 10-18. "The heart la deceitful above all thlnga, and desperately wicked; who can known It?" Jor. xvll . 9. Or aa in Bom. vlll. 6 ,7 . For to be carnally minded Ib death: but to be aplrltually minded laUfeand pedco. Becausethecamal mind iaonmlty against Sod; for It la not aubjeot to the law of God, neither I n d ^ , can be." Thcao worda are given that e v % mouth may bo atopped, and aU the world may taoomegaUty before God."

Some very atriklng flgurea are uacd to Uloatrate thla truth, and on thla point the Saflpturaj Jrewh a climax. They represent man aa unwell, rtck, d ^ . unburled, andaa the dry booeaof the valley. God aaked of ttncleot larael, " la there no balm In Gllead? la there no phyaldan there? Why toen, la not the health of the daughter of my p^ple re-covered T " Jer. vlU. M. But that la not the woiat - t h e (doner la dead in hla alna. Jaaua aaya, "Ver l ly . -v^^ . Iaay unto you, tb* hoar ia flpmlng

and now Is, when the dead fihnll hear the voice of of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live." John V. 2-5. in the eleventh chapter of John, an lluHtratlon of thin gmit truth Is given: Lazarus

the friend of Jewiw died. Four days he had lain In the tomb. The Master ralwHl him from the dead. Ho tuke»« (K caslon to tell them that this Is butatltrepnwnttttlon of what he has to do in renewing the HOUI. Jesus i«ild unto Martha, " I am the rmurrectton imd the life, ho that bellev-«th In me, though he wore dead, yet shall he live.' Who has not read Kp»>. U. 1: " And you hath he quickened who.wi're dead in treHpassea and In sins 5" but further, Ihcir boilletj are unbttrle<l; the sinew Is as but the dry bones of the valley. The vulture and tlie raTonous beaat have done their work, and the bones are left to bleach In the sun.

W h a t a fesirful descriptloh or the natural man! Yet how true. Cannot that enmity be turned to love, and th.it wicked heart Iw renewed? Can the dead hear no voice and live? Surely Ufe can be given to these dry bones. Yes, God has spoken it, and let us listen. The work Is all of God, yet It Is two-fold In Its nature. God worka through man, and by his Spirit,

II. What the prophets was to do. He was to be in the Spirit. Before wo can do

any great thing for God, we miMt l)e imbued with power from on high. We must have tbe guidance of the Holy Si)irlt. Ezeklel could say, "the hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the Spirit of the Lord." The Lord fllleil him with his Spirit, and directed hlin In his work. When JeeuU gave his great commission he saw fit to annex thereto a promlHe, " Lo 1 am with you always." And h© told hlfl dlsclides to tarry In Jeruaalum till they were ondowe<l with power from on high. The only rciison they succeeded was because the ."iplrlt was poured out In such abundance. I do not mean to say wo are to 8!M>ak with tongues or to work mlraclee. That power has been with-drawn. Wo llave no need for that; but we are to be under his guiding power, and led by hla dic-tates. .

He was to preach. His mission waa to propheay or preach to the dry bones. As he spoke, " there was a nol8(», and behold a shaking, and the bonea came together-bone to his bone." Eaeklel might have reasoned thus: " There la no need for my preaching, God la all-powerful; If he wants to my prvaviiiuHi "v" " , •• r - --raise up and glvo life to these dry bono3,he can do It without my help; I do not bellove liâldlng God, he can help himself. Then that would be such a foolish thing. It Is against reason. What good would It do ? Dry bones have no eara-rthoy can-not hear. Bealdea, all the pooplo would laugh at me." But the prophetdld not reaaoc. that way. God told him to go and preach and he obeyed, and bleased results fol low^.

The p r o b i n g of fte goepel la God's appointed means to make known the work of Ohrlat and to save the world. There areaome who are ready to call It foollahnees. It has over been thua. It waa a stumbling block to the Jew, and fooUahneaa to the Greek, but the wladom and power of God to those that are i aved by It. Paul the A i ^ e to the Gentllffl, waa riot aahamed of It. H e WM ready to preach It, even In the Metropolla of tlys world. So, as much aa In me la, 1 am ready to preach the goapel to you that are at Rome, alro. For I am not ashamed of the goapel of Ohrlat, for It la tho power of God unto aalvatlon to every one that bellevoth; to the Jew first, and alao to the Greek." Bom. 1.18,16. Whttn he waa wrlUng of WaprewWngatOarlnth, ha owUd aay, " A n d l ,

brethren, when I came to you, (nmo not with ex-o e U e n c y o f a p e t J c h or wladom, declrtrlng untoyow the testimony of God, for I determln^ not to know anything among you, save Jcaus Christ and him crucified." 1 Car. 11. 2. He gloried, but It waa In the croHB of Christ.

This same apoatle haa given us the phUoaophy of this. He teUs why It la so neeeasary that the gospel should be preached. "Whoeoever ahaU call upon the name of tbe Lord shall be saved. How, then shall they call on him In whom they have not believed? And how shall they ^MJlIove In him whom they have not heard ? And how shall they he«r without a preacher? And how shaU they preach excapt they be aent ? So thra faith cornea by hearing, and hearing by tho word ofGod." Rom. X. 14,16,17.

What other teacher ever gave a commlaalon like Jfflua ? When Socrates, the wlseat of tho ancient sagea waa about to die, all was dark. H e knew not whether It was best for him to go away or to stay here. Not mi with our Teacher. AU was plain. Hla plans for the ftiture were fixed and and marked out. He was still to guide the machinery of the goepel Kyatem. "Go," aaya he to hla aorrowlngdlsclples, "gopretichthegoaple to every creature; begin at Jorusalum, carry It to Samaria, and then to the uttermoat parta of tha earth. He that belloveth and Is baptlrxsd shall be saved. He that belloveth not ahall be damned. reamot,lo l a m wUhyoualway,evenuototheend of the world." These falthftal few solaed tho worda of everlasting truth, burning with «oa!, they aoon heralded tbeoi to nearly eveiy country on earth. So mighty did the cause of truth prevail that the world was turned np side down, and Cttrlatlanlty waa finally catabllshetl. *

Exhort them. Not only pnjach but exhort them. " O, ye dry bonea, hear ye the word of the Lord." Some of tho most earnest exr hortatlona In thq Bible are to bo found In tho writings of thla prophet. How many have b ^ warned by hla fttUhful words? "As 1 live, aalth the Lord God, I have no pleasure In the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn ftrom hte way and live; turn' yc, torn yo from your evil way; lor why will yo d l e , 0 , house of larael?" Chapter xxxlll . 11. When God could swear by none greater, ho a w r e by himself that we might have strong oortsolatlon to flee for rtiftagt) to Jeaua Chrlat Ho warns them by his very existence. •• Aa I live ffalth the Lord."

That ttoan of God whose hallowed Hps w a a tooched With flw would Join with his feUow prophet In a like exhoratlan. " Seek yo the Lord while ho may be found, call yo upon him while he la near. Let tho wicked foraako hN way, nnd the nnrlghteoua man hla thoughta; «nd let him re-turn unto the Lord, and hewlU have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abutulantlj' par-don. lift. Iv. 6, T. ,

Tlie life of Jeaua Is full of heavenly wisdom and encouragement. "Come unto mo all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will glvto you r e a t ' Tike my yoke upon you and learn of mo; for I am meek and lowly In heart; and yo shall find roat unto your souis. For my ydke la eaay, and my buitfen la light." Matt. xl. 98-80. Look how hla heart waa touched when he thought of the alas of Jeruaalfni.
