Euripides,AS ESSAY BY BEV. E. H. STOKES, D. D.,

BEAD BEEOBE THE C. L. S. C , OCEAN V GHOVE LOCAL C1UCI.K.

Euripides was born an Athenian;B. C. 480, and was therefore co-tempo- ranioiiB with the Prophets Zeohariah and Malachi. Ho had a long career, but, though born somo years after, ho died a fow months before his generous, but not moro popular rival—Sophocles. His education wae good. A t first lie trained in gymonstio exercises, in con­sequence of the prediction of an oriole, that ho should bo crowned with sacred garlands. H e next turned his atten­tion to painting, afterwards studied p h i­losophy under Anaxagoras, and rhoto- lio under Prodiciia, and formed a lastr ing friendship for Socrates. H is first play was performed B. C. 456. In 441 lie gained the. first prize lor tragedy, and cohtiuued to write for the A the­nian stage until B. C. 408, when he accepted'an invitation to the court Of Archelaus, king of Macedonia. H e is said to have been killed (B. C. 406) by dogs, which were set upon him by two brother poets who; envied him his rep­utation, Archelaus refused to allow his remains to bn removod to AthonB, and ereotud a spferidiil m onum ent to him in Pella, with tho inscription, •“ Never, O Euripides, will thy memory be forgotten." Still more honorable was tlio inscription ou the cenotaph erected to him by tho Athenians; “ All Greece is the Monument of Euripidee, Macedonian 'earth covers only his bones.” Sophocles, who survived him, publicly lamented his loss, und the orator, Lyourgus, afterwards erected a monum ent to him in the' theatre a t Athens. The plays of Euripides are said by some' to have amounted to 75, by others to 92. Only 18, however, have come down to us. Even these are known to comparatively few, and the great world would have lost little bad all failed to reach our time. Con­cerning Euripides, ‘ and hia tragedies, Sohlogel rem arks, “ Of few authors can eo much good and evil be predeeated with equal tru th .'1 “ He was a m an,” Schlegel continues, “ of infinito talents, skilled in tho most intellectual arts, but though abounding in brilliant aud amiablo qualities, ho wanted the sub­lime earneatnoas und artistioakill whioh wo adm ire ia rEjcbylus and Sopboolea.” Ho aspires only to ploaso, no mattor by what moans. For this reason he is so often unequal to himself, produoing a t times possagos o f oxquisite beauty, and frequently sinking into positive vulgar­ity. I t m ust he stated, however, tha t there ib a wide and even violent differ­ence of opinion among good author! ties on the merits of Euripides, Some critics consider him especially melo­dram atic in quality, rather than truly tragio. These find in him a sudden rapid degeneration and decline of Greek tragedy from the brief an d splen­did culmihallon reaohed by Sophocles Other critics, on tlio contrary, consider Euripides scarcoly inferior to his rivals.

,it is hardly posaiblo, however, for one whoso sole or overt principal aim iu

writing is to please, without the high and more worthy purpose of forming public opinion, and' leading into the nobler realms of truth, to be alwayB sublime, or even equal to themselves. The writer who aims time, studies his readers or his audience, and meets them, no matter, what plain they oc­cupy. ‘ If high, he iB “high; if medium, he is m edium ; if low, be desoandaito their level and caters to their wants. This accounts for much of (he vile liter­ature of the present day. I t is a mourn­ful fact, tha t while writers should be in; advance of the highest, leading them still higher, they are often too willing, for 'paltry pay, to go below the lowest, leading them still lower. A writer can­not be too careful. H e elevates or de­grades character. Every passage is a footprint in the sands of time. A brief aentonce thrown out upon the winds will lloat in the a ir of public thought, and mould aud remould, continuing after the author lias ceased to live and move among men. And yet they still, live and move among men in their utterances through all time. Names, dates and sentiments carved in granite become illegible after the march of a few centuries, but these old Greek au­thors have sent their writings down to ua through more than a score of cen­turies, and' they degrade and elevate today as when first imbibed by the Athenian or Grecian mind. I . regret to say, that in the main there ib little to-elevate and much to degrade. A good rule for. a writer is, never to pen a line, which, dying, he should wish to blot o u t from the living page.

The story of Alcestes, while hot espe­cially objectionable in the narrative, is low in plot. For a man to wail over what he consents to and could have prevented, awakens' disgust, and while we ad m it' Alcestes, despise Admetua. There is nothing in ihe, story worthy of the im m ortality ,it has reached.

W hile the . A thenians declared all Greeco was a m onum ent to Euripides, had lie lived and died in this age his fame would not have survived him .

Concerning Music.Tlio editor of U\o Sunday-school Times,

in his “ Notes on Open Letters,” gets off some solid sense, when dealing with correspondents. One of them inquires as to the "dividing line” betweon sacred and secular music, and is enlightened th u s : W hat do you mean by "sacredmusic?” W hat do you mean By “ secu­lar music?” There ia many a , tune whioh works equally well; with only a difference in its “ time,” in the ball­room, and in the organ-loft. Does that show that it ia. a “ secular ” tune in Church ? or that it is d "sacred” tune on the dancing floor? Or, dobs it show th a t the tune’a secularly or sacredness depends on the spirit and purpose of its using? Laughter is one of the privileges and one of the duties of the wholly con­secrated Christian d iscip le; and tho musio whioh promotes laughtor, and which corresponds with laughter, is moro fitting musio to the time and placo of laughtor, than auy dirge or than any slow-moving anthem would be just then. The liveliest, the brightest, tbe most joyous musio a t such a time is “adored musio” to him who counts himself and all his enjoyments “Baored” unto the Lord. Music, either vocal or iuBtru- luoutal, is not to be separated from other activities of tha voice or of tho hand, as an expression of ono’a spirit and feelings. Musio can bo a means ot praisiug God, of comforting mourners, of soothing those in bodily pain, of chobring tbo downcast, of gladdening child ren ; and a “ hey-diddlediddle,” and a “ hallelujah ,11 may bs alike “ sa­cred,” or alike “ seoular," according aa the one who gives it expression is a child of God or a son of perdition, by tho whole choico and sway of his being. "W hatsoever ye do," therefore, in tho line of music, as in ariy other lino, “ do it heartily, aa to the L ord;” and so far itr Will be a “sacred” doing.

Trust and Obey.Miss Havorgal tells a story in verse of

a young girl named Alice, whose music- master insists upon her practicing very diffioult music. To Alice it seems cruel th a t she may not play easy pieces like other girls. The chorda are difficult,! and the melody is subtle. H er hand wearies, her cheek flushes, and with, clouded brow she makes a protest. The master wilt not. yield, and she writes home to her father, who answers kindly, but firmly, that her teacher knows what is best. '• Trust and obey" ia her father’s advice. Persuaded to try again she at length masters Beethoven’s masterpiece. Years afterward a t a brilliant assembly of musical ariiata, when the gentle tjri- light fills all hearts with thoughts of jbeade, alice is invited to play soine suitable BtrainB. She selects the very piece tha t vVbb once so difficult, but whioh, thoroughly learned, has never been forgotten. 8he plays it with pure and varied expression, secures the rich approval of one of Ihe masters o f song, who confesses that even to him Beetho­ven’s musio had never seemed so beau­tiful and so suggestive as in her render­ing :

Then swift up flashed a m emory,, A long-forgotten d a y ;

A memory o f tears once sued.Of 'aching h an d and puzzled head.And o f the father’s word th a t Bald. ■

"Trust and obey. . .

The lesson learned in patience then : : - ‘ \>’as l it by love and duty The toiling tim e w as quickly past,' .The trusting-tirae h a d fleeted fast,And Alice Understood a t last

. I ts mysteries q f beauty. * / • ’ j

Many a hard task , may yet come to both boys and girls. Let them also “ trust snd obey,” and by little and little they likewise may become interpreters of lifo’s holiest music.

' Wine is a Mocker.”

Little June sat on the. Bunny porch, sowing for little dolly. She waa sioging softly to herself as she plied her dainty needle, but her song suddenly ceased as she Baw a man come reeling up the garden walk, She jum ped up and put­ting her hand on his sleeve, said in a quiet, firm voice:'.' “ Father! Father I come right in the house!” The gentle tone seemed to sooth the intoxicated m an, and . he reeled into the cottage and threw him ­self on-the.rude bed that Blood in one corner of the lowly room. Alas I poor little June was too used to seeing her father come hom e in that condition to think m uch about it. Peter Saunders had once beep a wealthy m an, but he took the ruddy wine too often at the club, and had broken his wife’s, heart. H e was now living with his little daugb tor, and an old colored.woman who kept neat the ru d e 'h u t they called : their home. T hat night as little Juno was reading her chapter, before. retiring, (for ahe was a piously brought up child) she turned to the passage in Proverbs, “ .Wirie is a mocker, Btrong drink is rag­ing, and whosoever is deceived thereby ia not wise.” She thought the words over, “ W ineis a mocker”—“ whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.” Then my father is not wise. She looked at him sleeping off the effects of his intox­ication, and M'jahe waa a ■ very deter­mined little body she resolved to speak to him in the morning about his intem ­perate habits. But she overslept her­self and her father, ashamed to look into hid daughter's calm, pure eyes, was out before she awoke. She busied boreelf about the house for. an hour or two, and then ran across the way to sco hor dearest friend Nellie Blake, and talk ovor the doll’s latest wardrobe, for Juno had saved one of her waxen beau­ties from tho wreck of thoir former splendor. About eleven o'clock Nellie’s brother Rob oame rushing in shouting: “ Big fight down the street, two drun­ken tram ps!—big crowd I” and he was off again, flying down the alley toward a knot of men, women und children. A great fear seized June 's heart, and she said to her companion, "C om e, Nell, lot's go ou t; I feel awful faint,” so the two littlo girls passed to the porch. A short distance off two m en were en­gaged in deadly combat, and one June recognized as her father. Ono mo­ment, and she waa at hiB side, “ Father, Father,” she cried, “ look a t your little girl, your little June, and come home with m e." B ut the gentle voice failed to quiet the enraged man, and turning ho struok 'hor a blow that felled her to tho earth. They, carried her to the

homble little home, b u t it was a ': long time before the brown eyes opened, and when they did ahe called for her father incessantly. A t last ho cam e; partly sober. But if reason had only halt re­turned, it came with full force a t the eight of the little pale face on the pil­low, with the dainty auburn curls fall­ing Over a-deep gash in the forehead, ’■Father,"She called faintly, “ Father, come to me." H e went and sat by her side. “ I feel I shall not live ling, and 0 ; my dear, dear papa, promise me you will n ev e r; drink any m o re ; please promise, dear father,” and the; little weak voice tattered. The man bowed hia face on his hands, then- looking up stiddenly, exolaimed, “ Yea, June, by God's help I will never again touoh a drop Of liqhor,” and hri never did. The next morning as the sun was tinging the sky with all ita golden and purple glory, Ju n e’s weary little spirit passed into perfect bliss, and her father atien- d |d the funeral, a sadder and wiser man, resolved never to touch the rudy wine again, for he read in his daughter's btbie that “ In the end it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder.” • Ocean Orove, A. J. M. A. B.

Son. Booth's Roport of the Salvation ■ § 7 7 7 Army. '

BY BEV. E. DAVIES.

I have before me an English paper that contains a report of Gen. Booth on the present status of tho Army. Be i t remembered that Gen. Booth whs for many years a Methodist minister, and this grand movement is of Methodist origin so far.

The editor of ihe Methodist Times, by special queslions to Gen. Booth, drew out tho.following facts, which I oon- denso as much as possible:.2^9 Groat Britain there .are 1 684 paid officers, 647 corps that maintain officers, besides 803 villages are regularly visited. The annual income is about £300,000. They get £20,000.from outsiders. Their accounts are audited by independent, professional auditors, and have been for 19 years. Tbe Baptist and Calvinistic Methodists have reaped the benefit of their labors in Wales.. .Regular churoh goers are not wanted in the Army meet­ings, they are a hindrance. The Army is not aiming at that elass. Poverty is a great hindrance in .Ire lan d ;. it is hard tog e t barracks; they have made no direct effort to convert the Catholics as yet. They have 16 corps and 52 officers iri France and Switzerland. They have 9 corps in South Africa. They propose to let the colored people of America evangelize Africa because they can stand the oliinate. They are especially pros­perous in , Ceylon. They have 5 I Par Orys in India, 4 of them in .native lan­guages. They have great success in Australia. Two officers, 21 years of age, were sent to New Zealand one year ago, who have secured 8 stations, 17 officers, and a local iucome at the rate of £10,000 a year. Several officers have it in their hearts to open this work in China. ; Between 400 add 500 have been imprisoned in America since they began here. They have 88 corps in Canada.

Last year they spent £70,000 on.Clap- ton and the Grecian buildings in Lon­don, yet they lack only £5,000 tb put them in easy financial circumstances. They find but little intelligent atheism among the working oloases... They oc cupy the hcadquartors of atheism in Leeds. They find tha t tho Sunday- school teaching of thoso who are not converted, only tends to harden the heart and makes thorn less acceptable in after years. Alas th a t this is true. Therefore we ought to have our children converted while they are children.. They have -144 corps of little soldiers

and 939 meetiuga are held weekly.Gen. Booth thinks there is a lull, in

the Churches of Eugland. Protestant: ism is essentially a talking religion, and tha talking has become too learned, too intellectual. The people need plain and simple addresses. They havo only five clergymen in the Army. The open air work ia the great agency to keep them out of (he ruts. They have. no special provision forgiving their converts .Bible instruction, but they have a holiness meeting every Friday. A soldier’s meet­ing generally on Tuesday ; some would call it a class .meeting. For pastoral work thoy have .“ visiting sergeants.” Christ created an organism. Tho army is an organism whioh they call an Army

rather than a churoh. Tbe General tried his best to avoid a separate organ­ization, but he was rejected on rill sides till it was to late. Mr, Booth says: .“ I have had more light on the subject of sanctification—personally I realize, aa I did not years ago, that a , man' has not only to got from God, but also , to give to God. A m an m ust present himself, his family, his money, his all to God. Many people seem to think that follow­ing Christ means following Christ, to heaven, whereas, it really means follow­ing Christ from heaven to Calvary ; fol­lowing him to the death in determined efforts to save others. W em ust be will­ing literally to die for Christ and .our fellow men. I now enjoy freedom, per­fect freedom.”

Evory soldier in the Army ia willing to obey and wait for orders. English Methodism is weak because it iB not governed- The President has no au­thority. The work hangs fire for want ofporsonal authority. All Methodists should follow John Wesley, glorious John Wesley. The Army has 18 papers and 2 m onthly periodicals, and many other publications. They never baptize. Some officers administer the Lord’s Supper, The question of the sacraments is one of the unsolved problems.

Surely this is one of the most prom ­ising evangelizing movements of this century. It,has its weaknesses as the sun has its spots, but both are useful.

Conditions of Conquest.> From a sermon on " The Holy Spirit, the conservator of orthodoxy,’! by Rev. Daniel Steele, D. D,, published in the Guide to Holiness for March, ,we give a few of the concluding paragraphs, which seem like a trum pet blast in startling earnestness,; and as eloquent, as they are consistent with eternal tru th :

I f I have any special riiission in the afternoon of my life between this and sunset, it is to show to the Church the grave perils which will inevitably follow the abandonment of an intense spirit­uality and, tho neglect of the doctrinal truths which inspire this vigorous spir­itual liie. If the warning be checked, and all our members will have an ' ex­perimental realization that Jesus is Je­hovah, then will the weak ones become as David, and David as the angel of J e ­hovah in valor and strength. Then there will be a t least one denomination that the devil will.riot laugh at and the .world sp it upon. I t 'w a s Whitefield who wisely said th a t he " had rather have'.ten members wholly consecrated to God and filled with the Spirit, than five hundred that the devil laughs at in his sleeve.” The world has an instinctive fear of the man w.ho intensely believes the whole Bible irom cover to cover,who is dead to the world,and alive to Godin every fibre and atom o f his being, with every capacity filled and every power euergized by the Holy Ghost.' “Give 1110 a hundred men,” said Wesley, “ who fear nothiDg but sin, anil desiro nothing but God, and I will shake the world, and I care not a straw whether they' be clergymen or laym en,'rind such alone will overthrow tho kingdom of Satan, and build up the kingdom of God on earth." H e got his hundred men, and I10 shook the world with an earthquake, mightier than can be produced by a million of easy-going nominal Chris­tians afraid of the Holy Ghost, and ap- pologiziug for their own distinctive doc­trines... I wish I had power to reach every Methodist on the round earth. I would say, Cease living on the heroism of yoiir fathers, quit glorying in numbers, sacri­ficing to statistics, and burning incense tm the General M inutes; down upon your knees and seek and find for your- Bolf the secret of the power of the fath­ers, a clean heart and the endowment

of power from on high, then arise and. unfurl the banner of salvation free arid full, and a common-sonse theology, the beauty of ivhich, as Joseph Cook says, is “ that it can be preached.” Then, in double-quick time, charge upon the hosts of sin and conquer the world for Christ. A Brahmin recently said to a Christian, “ I have found you out. You are not as good as your book; I f you Christians were as good as your book, you would-in five years conquer India for Christ.” Come, Holy Spirit, and so cleanse and fill ub that we may be as good as our book I W bat an agency , for the kingdom of Christ the Methodist Episcopal Church would become if she would in earnestness and faith utter this prayer, and should become perm anent­ly vitalized and filled with the Holy Spirit. She would sweep through the slums of our great cities and disarm the dangerous classes. She would stay the, floods of drunkenness desolating the earth like streams of burning lava, by converting manufacturers, venders and drinkers, after the fashion of the Salva­tion Army. She would overflow into all lands. She would overturn the Andes of Popery in South America with tho lever of the Pauline self-supporting missions, and shout hallelujah from the Himalayahs loud 'enough for the de­graded millions o f India to ; hear from the Indus to the m outh of the Ganges. She would follow Bishop Wm. Taylor on the track of Stanley through the dark continent, and set it ablaze with Gospel light, and m ake China resound with the praises of One greater *than Confucius; conquer Japan for King Jesus before the close of the nineteenth century, topple over the papal throne on the .Vatican Hill,--and .girdle the globe with a chain of lovofeasts, and holiness cam p meeti ngs, and lead earth’s teeming millions up to the open gates of Heaven, washed in th e blood of the Lamb.

; Church of Asbury Park, has just fin­ished a four yearn’ term as Presiding Elder on.Trenton District. H is charac­teristics as a preacher were we!! de­scribed in a T renton letter recently p u b ­lished in this paper. H e stands abreast with the intellectual m en of the age.

We had tlie pleasure while attending Conference a t Cheater, Pa., to m eet quite a num ber of our. Ocean Grove friends, and among others W illiam P. Ladomus, Esq,, who as a skillful jeweler, makes himiieif useful to our citizens and visit­ors overy 8um m er. H e occupies the honorable position in Cheater, of City Treasurer, b u t cannot deny him self tiro privilege oi spending each season with liiB family here by the sea.

One of Itov, 8. Townsend's hearers lost Sabbath morning, a lady visitor ot tho Grove, favors m with a good sketch of his beautiful and impressive sermon on tlio passage, Isa ia h . GO: 1, “ Arise, shine,Tor thy light in come, and the gjory of the Lord is risen upon tboe.” Bro. Townsend also preached in the evening to a iargo congregation, after whiob, during an cxce (lent prayer ser­vice, another soul was ba.ppiiy converted to God, This waa a good day’s work.

Dr. Stokes’ “ Mission.’’The *’ appointing power ” of the New

Jersey Conference, it scorns, cannot be m ade to sea a very plain fact—that the nam e of JE. H . Stokes should etand every year on tho Minutes as the rep­resentative simply of “ Ocean Grove." Then it would have been consistent and appropriate to have named Rev. J. B. Weatcott for “ St. P aul’s und West Grove.” To get around some techni­cality ih the “ restrictive rules,” how­ever, the Doctor is assigned a "mission” which we suppose includes tbe entire Summer work of the Grove, and outly­ing points in the vicinity where relig­ious services have been, or ought to be established. This is a iarge field for ono “ missionary," but. we hear that it is in contemplation to employ help to m eet the growing demands of the work. I f laborers elsewhere “ are few,” there can be found here o n - th e homo field any num ber o f com petent men, who, we hope, a t the call of duty w ill'be ready to obey.

Keep Up the Revival,The new Conference year at' St.

Paul’s, Ocean Grove, opened auspi­ciously on Wednesday evening, when the returned pastor, in improved health, m et his people, and instead of mere conventional felicities, .called for an expression on their behalf of purpose and prayer, looking to a continuance of ths revival spirit which has so largely pervaded the community for two months past. I t was a ' special privil­ege to be a t this wonderful, earnest and cheerful meeting. After reading from tbe Prophet Malaohi, third: chapter, with appropriate comments, the pastor had only ,to open the way for experi­ence, and on this iine there were about thirty persons to speak in as many minutes. Che tone of their testimony was grateful for the good they had found, either personally by seeking the Lord, or .laboring, for the conversion of souls. So delightful was this work m ade'to appear in its reflex influence, that nobody for a m om ent could toier ate the idea of cessation, or a going back' to tlie ordinary ruts in mere rou­tine devotion, The young converts were quite free, in attestation of their first love; and sill seemed Siopeful that, the tidal wave should continue to'rise until, the sum m er influx of visitors should find our a lta r . fires kindled and brightly burning. To the pastor, whose health had prevented his attendance a t the meetings, it m ust have bean refresh­ing to see so many rise up, a t hia invi­tation, showing th a t they had been recently brought to tlw Saviour, and further, to see the whole ohuroh move forward, and around the altar, enter into solemn consecration, and a cove­nant with God to be diligent in the use O f the means of grace, for their own and others Spiritual benefit. Sister Buekman and several others were pow­erfully drawn out in prayer, that all professing .Christians m ight bo led into a place where they could no longer doubt or disobey. May the year con­tinue as it has begun, and closo witli results that shall m ake heaven and earth rejoice.

Oonference Week.The twoAnnual Conferences to which

we are m ost nearly related, Philadel­ph ia and New Jersey, have ju s t dosed their sessions for 1885, In the former we-have answered roll-call since being adm itted to membership in the Spring of 1850, although our itinerancy com menced, “ under the Elder,” as early as 1817, and M arch, 1848, witnessed our reception on trial with ,a class of six­teen, only half of.whom sire now living.

The body convened on Thursday of last week a t Chester, Pa., and as its membership a t present runs up to, be­tween two and three hundred, with a large following of agents,'secretaries, prom inent laymen, aa part o f various “ boards,” and committees, anil a host of visitors, i t m ay be ' supposed the or­dinary quiot city of Chester, where W il­liam Penn first landed, became for one weak in. its calendar a lively scene of social intercourse and Christian hospi­tality, Indeed, so far as we are aware, the Conference never m et a m ore cor­d ia l reception o r enjoyed better enter­tainm ent. To us the lines fall in very pleasant places, having a delightful home with tho family of M r. R .E , Roes, an enterprising m erchant, whose aflin ides, through Mrs. Sosa, are w ith the “ Christian ” denomination.

The city supports several papers, and the Times ami Neitia especially, being both evening dailies, pu t ou t ail their strength in the line of interviewing the celebrities of (he occasion, reporting very'fully the proceedings, and follow­ing up all the great anniversaries of Conference week.

■Wherever the reporters found m ater­ial for a pun they made excellent use of their chances, 'noting prom inently the presence of the editorial fraternity who belonged to the body, and persist­ing.in the plea th a t Rev. A, M , Wig gins, one of its useful m en, waa either responsible for the cold snap, o r some­how related to the widely-known weath­er prophet of th a t name,

The aforesaid “ cold snap ” prevented a good m any of the preachers from vis­iting the points of local interest, , to which they were generously invited, v iz : The ' Eddystono Print W orks; Roach's m am m oth ship yard, where U . S . -.esaelB for the navy are being coir - a tructcd ; the Upland Baptist Semi­nary, and Col. H yatt’s Military Acad­emy.

Bishop Foss, for the first lime, octyj; pied the cliair, and throughout an ar­duous and somewhat, perplexing ses­sion, exhibited the real grit of. a good presiding officer. The “ m inute ” busi­ness waa .varied by an occasional spurt of discussion, which demanded, a cool head and steady band on th s part of the Bishop to Btssr clear o f th s uncos ventionalities. The chief discussion on an abstract; issue, turned on the Epis copal prerogative of transfers. Several of the younger brethren seam to love the chance to enter the lists and have an annual tilt a t an' imaginary wind­mill, until the bandying of,such terms as “ self protection,” "h o m e rights,” and “ unjust oppression”, would, indi­cate th a t something serious threatened our polity when high-toned men, selec­ted by certain churches, were trans­ferred into the effective ranks. The worst feature of this unseemly agitation is tho misunderstanding it creates out- sido, leaving the secular press all over the land to suppose and, say of men un selfish and ciever in every th in g . else, that they are jealous, narrow and un friendly to those of their own household of faith; who have not been " to the manor born," The spirit of the resolu­tion discussed betrays a littleness unbs- coming to any man bearing the honor­able nam e of a Methodist preacher.

Chesteria the home of one m an who fills a large space in the-popular heart and eye of Ocean Grove—Prof. John R. Sweney, who is connected with Col. H y a tt’s Military Academy in the vicin­ity. H e gave th-.s Conference a .few specimens of his musical power, and nearly set a crowded .congregation shouting happy by singing Dr. Stokes’ new hym n, "Go Seek Until Ye Find.” W ith printed slips of. the words and music'distributed among the preachers, all helped to swell the chorus, until the spacious Churoh resounded with' the melody..

Among our notable visitors during tho proceedings, were Chaplain McCabe, tha fascinating missionary advocate, whose ambition is to raise one million dollars this year, Bishop Andrews was present for several daye; Mrs. Willing, of tha, W oman's Hom e Missionary Soci­ety, and Rev. Dr. Kidder, whose heart anil brain run on the Uoe of education. The anniversaries were thronged every evening, and the, Sabbath ordinations, with, attendant (sermons by Bishop Foss and Dr, : G .. W, Miller, attracted im ­mense crowds and m arked atten tion ,

The papers have given eaoh circum­stan tial reports of the proceedings, that i t would be nesdlees for us to repeat here tho list of the candidates as they

graded upward, or the nam es of the promising class of young men brought forward for admission.

There were num erous changes in' relations of ministem, and more or leas friction in m aking the appointm ents to suit all parties concerned. Indeed, so thoroughly independent have some of the preachers, as well as official boards of particular churches become, th a t it is not unlikely, after "fix ing” the ap pointments, the plan in Home instances may be upset and modified for the sake of harmony and genera! satisfaction.. The Conference adjourned on Wed­nesday, to meet next year a t Centenary Church, W est Philadelphia ,

Letter from Los Angeles.BY RKY. 3 . » , WATSON, D B,

Rev. W .M cDonald and myself have been holding special services twice a day for the promotion o f holiness, in the Fort Street M. E, Ohuroh, Los An­geles, Cal., during the past three weeks. About one hundred have been sancti­fied or converted. W t also Bpent a day and n ight a t Compton, twelve miles away, and a day and night a t Posadena, eight miles away, w ith . good results. To-day we. go to Riverside for a three 'days' holiness meeting in the M. E, Church, and Saturday, Maroh 21, to Santa A nns for a ' four days’ meeting. We expect to' be in Sacramento April 18, then I shal! (D. V.) return to my home a t W indsor,-Florida, and Bro. McDonald and hie wife will likely bold some meetings, in .Oregon, before going East.-. •

Los Angeles, i. e., the “ City of the Angels,” is,the metropolis of'Southern California, has a population of 30,000, is a city of great beauty and is. rapidly growing! The M. E. Church is tlie leading denomination, having five churches already in the .city and sub­urbs’, . Do you ask for a description of Southern California, tha t ib impossible to be given. Dear reader, have you ever heard of this land, and if so, then let me Bay tlie .half has never ye t been told you, . I t is next to impossible to form any conception nf this country until you see it, Now dose your eyes and use your im agination—think of immense mountains, foot hills, canyons, table-iand, valleys, streams, prairies and ocean shore, all within thirty to fifty m iles,.and an atmosphere so clear as to render the whole visible from a hun­dred points of observation; . th ink of. a soil which is pure m anure extending from 10 to 00 feet in depth, in which nearly every product o f the. globe .’Bin be grown to marvelous proportions; th in k of a climate where -there is less frost in W inter than in middle Florida, and whore the Summers are far pleas­an ter than in Minnesota, with an aver­age of only twenty-eight cloudy days in tho 865; th ink of caila lilies, tuberoses, 230 varieties of roses, heliotrope,together with ail mannqr of flowers andivegeta- bles growing and blooming out of doors all W inter; think of heilge fences (for no Btook: rambles, and they need no heavy fencing) grown of cedar, Cypress, limes, pomegranates, roses, geraniums and even Calla -lilies; th ink of. helio­tropes and geraniums climbing from the ground to tha second story windows and rcise trees from four 'inches'to a foot in diameter, bearing thousands of roses; th ink of riding for miles along avenues of matchless beauty, with shaven grass and hedges, with palaces and parks, fountains and . flowers, dotted amid groves s f English walnuts, apples, pears, peaches, pomegranates,. limes, figs, lemons, oranges, apricots and almonds In various stages of flower or fruit, m in. gled here and there with the feathery palm , the.broad banana, or,the towering eucalyptus tree hundreds of feet higli, while the mocking b ird ' and meadow larkMng'-'on every side, aud a few miles behind you rise tbe snow-capped m oun­tains nine thousand feet high, and iu front of you, thirty miles away, the Pacifio Ocean, like silver prairie, gleam­ing in the oiaudieKs light. Think of all this and you have. Pasadena and the Los Angeles Valley in Southern Califor­nia. Thousands who como here for a brief viBit never return.

While Southern California is in so many things far superior to Florida, yet Florida bus. four advantages, over Cali- iornia, viz: - ; • '

1. Florida has a softer, balmier air, far better for catarrh and throat trouble.

2. Florida can far excel California in the quality and quantity of oranges.

8. California is for the rich ; Florida is for the.poor as well aa rich.

■S. Florida lias ready aud rapid access to the millions of population.

In the absence o f the president and vice-president, the Circle was called to order by Mr. Little, and Mr. W. E. Shel­don was appointed chairman pro tern.

Tha opening song, “ The Winds are Whispering,” was sung by the Circle, and prayer was offered by Miss Barber.

A paper on “ The World’s Great Paintings,” by Miss Rice, who could speak largely from persona! observa­tion, having examined most of them (luring her travels abroad, was read.

Mr. Hemmenway gave a short and comprehensive Sail on “ Balloons ” their origin, development and uses, T bs interest of the subject was en­hanced by the exhibition of, a large. French lithograph, which Mr. H em ­menway brought into the olasa, illus­trating tho progress' bf aerial locomo­tion from the flying m achine, in 1S7S, to the firet inception of the balloon, in 1782, by Montgollier, a t Avignon, France, and through all its different stages of devalopment up to 1871, num ­bering sixty-one illustrations.

The ” Question Box ” formed it sub­ject of interest on the lis t part of the program Questions), assigned a t the previous session were answered as fol­lows: -

1. " W hat is the beii of St. Angelus, as montionad in Evangeline ?” . Ans­wered by Mrs. Bancroft. Angelus Domini is the full nam e given- to the hell which, a t morning, noon, and night, called the people to prayer, in commemoration of the visit of the ange! of the Lord to the Virgin Mary, I t was introduced - into France iu ita modern form in the sixteenth century. J

2. “ Is coffee nutritious as w ell-as Btimulaling ?” Answered by Dr. Pom­eroy. '•-■..While not directly nutritious, it soothes woariness, miidly siimuiates, and arrests waste. Coffe'rae, a highly concentrated form of coffee,, is used in hom eopathy to produce sleep on the principle “ that like cures like.” Coffee in its natural form being »' prom pter of wakefulness instead of sleep. This .ex­hilarating subject seemed to ^stimulate the membera to a general interest in the diacuBsion, in which witticisms, re partee, and Boms hair splitting, among the most earnest, figured. Among the chief combatants weto Dr. Pomeroy, Mr. Littlo, Miss Rico, Mrs. .Bancroft and others.

8. ‘/ W hat are the Seven W onders of the World Answered by Miss Bar her. 1. Pyramids of Egypt; 2. Pharos of A lexandria; 8. The walls and hang­ing gardens of Babylon ; 4. Temple of D iana, a t , E phesus; 6. Statue o f the Olympian Jup iter; G, Mausoleum of A rtem isia; 7. Colossus of Rhodes, This classification of the rem arkable objects of the; aucient” world is, the one most generally received as the Seven W on­ders of tha World. [It is generally ad­m itted that the Brooklyn Bridge should be added as tho Eighth Wonder.]

A. “ Do eclipses have any effect upon atmospheric conditions ?” Answered by Mr. Hemmenway, who obtained the highest authority on ths .subject by interviewing, the Chief of the. Signal Service Bureau a t the top of the E quit­able Building, New York, The decis­ion was that, aclipsea are; not known to have any effect - upon the atmosphere, or, if they have, tlie eflcot is so long in reaching the earth ' that it is ascribed to other causes.

5. "H ow many times did Christ ap­pear upon earth after H is resurrection, and to . whom was each appearance m ade?" Answered .by Miss Netti.e Brown. There are eleven recorded : 1. To Mary Magdalena alone neur Jerusa­lem, Sunday, April 9 ; 2. Ta-the women returning from the sepulchre, aefar Jerusalem !. Sunday] April 9 ; 3.

Now Jersey ConfsrencB,

This progressive ecolesiastical body; growing more formidable as to numbers every year, mot with a very handsome reception iast week iri the city of New Brunswick, and evory member, old and young, seemed delighted to have such a-genial brother, and thorough business man for president ae Bishop H enry W. W arren.

Wasting no time in unnecessary die- Oueaions, tho Conference rushed along in routine business until Sabbath found the brethren well advanced toward the conclusion. The final adjournm ent waa reached on Tuesday of this week, a full d ty earlier than many supposed pos­sible.'

Tbo result of " Counoil work " in changes rn&do in the preaoher’s fields of labor accasionod a tem porary sur­prise, even to those Bteady-going old stagers, who always forecast tho horo­scope of appointments, and can account for everything by the sage rem ark, “ I told you so.”

Tho weather was SO unsettled a t the beginning of the session that some of the brethren took violent colds,, and among those who returned quite unwell was Rev. H . B. Beegle, of Ocean Grovo. H e is now, however, convalescent, and will soon be able to meet tho demands of business which crowd uponhim overy day.

Our opportunities to minglo with the preachers were quite limited, but the intercourse is always 'fraternal.in the most hearty degree, and a t the elegant home of our friend, Rev. J . R. Vau- kirk, of the Ocean Grove Association, we found the latch-string out, and shared with many of the dignitaries who attended the session, tbe genial hospitality of this amiable family.

For some of the incidents of the pleasant ocoasion, and new pastoral changes, we refer to notices elsewhere. in this number.

By unanim ous request Rov. J. B. Westcott was returned to St. Paul’s, aud Asbury Park receives a new pas-' tor in the person of Rov. D, H . Schock, A. M., a preacher of unquestioned a b i l ­ity.

. Will prohibition prevent the use of intoxicating liquor? Not wholly, but it will answer ita purpose. I t will ban­ish distilleries to secret m ountain glens and hidden cellars. I t will drive the man-traps of the poison-monger from the publio streets. I t will save our boys from a hundred tem ptations; it will help thouBauda of reformed drunk­ards to keep the pledge; it will restore peace and plenty to m any hundred

. thousand homes.From the Edinburgh Review for Jan­

uary, 1878, we learn that in eighty- nine private estates in England and Scotland, “ the drink traffio haa been altogether suppressed, with the happi­est social results. The late Lord Pal­merston suppressed thb beer shops in Eomsey aa the leases fell in. W e know an estate tha t stretches for miles along th e romantio shore of Loch Fyne, where no whiskey is allowed to be sold. The peasants and fishermen are nour­ishing. They have all their money in

• the bank, and they obtain higher wages than thoir neighbors when they g o to Bea”—a proof that a small oasis of tem ­perance can m aintain its prosperity in the midst of poison-blighted communi- ties. ; ■

JSera and there the wiles of the poi- Bon monger will undoubtedly Bucoeed in evading the law; lu t their power for mischief will be diminished as th a t .of the gambling-hell was in Hom burg and Baden, where tem ptation was removed o u to t the track of the uninitiated till the host of victims dwindled away for want of recruits. Not the promptings of nn innate pussion, but the oharm of artificial allurem ents is the gate by which ninety-nine out of a hundred drunkards have entered the road to ruin. I t would be an understatem ent to say th a t the tem ptation o f'm inors will be reduced a hundred fold w her­ever the total am ount of sales has been reduced aa much os five fold—a result which has been far exceeded, even un- dor the present imperfect system ol

■ legal control. “ In the courae of my duty as an In ternal Bevenue officer,” says Superintendent H am lin, of. Ban­gor, “ I have become thoroughly ac­quainted with the state and extent of the liquor traffic in ’ Maine, and I have

* no hesitation in saying th a t the beer trade is not m tre than one per cent, of what I rem em ber it to have been, and the trade in distilled liquors is not more than ten per cent, ol what it was formerly.” " I think I am. justified in sayiu,” reports: the AttorUey-Qeheral, “ that there is not an open bar for the sale of intoxicating ! liquor in this county ” (Androscoggin, including the manufacturing district of Lewiston— once a very hotbed of the rum traffio). “ In the oity of Biddeford, a m anufac­turing place of 11,000 inhabitants, for a month a t a time no t-a single arrest for drunkenness has been made or become necessary.” And from Augusta (the capital of the s ta te ): “ I f we were to say that the quantity of liquor sold here is not one-tenth as largo as for­merly, we think it would be within the tru th ; .and the favorable effects of the

: ohange upon all the interests of the Blate are plainly seen every where.”

“ I t is perhaps not neceesary,” says the Boston • Globe, of July 29,1875, “ to dwell on the evils of intemperance, end yet peoplo seldom think how great a proportion of these m ight be prevented by driving the iniquity into its hiding places, and proventing it from coming forth to lure its victims frbm among the unwary and comparitively guileless. Few young men who are worth saving, or are likely to be saved todeceuoy aud virtue, would seek it out if it were kept

. from sight, But when it comes forth in gay and alluring colors, it draws a procession of our youth into a path that has an awful termination. Nor does the evil whioh springs from an

.open toleration of the way in which this vice carries on its traffic of dostrho- tion fall only on m en. A sad propor­tion of Its victims is made up from shop girls and abandoned women who are

, not so infatuated a t the start that ibey would plunge into a, life of infamy if its

' temptations were striotly under the ban, and kept widely separated from the world of decency. B ut it intruded itself upon them. Its temptations and opportunities are before their eyes, and the way is made easy for their feet to go down to death.”

“ To -what good ia it,” said Lord Brougham; “ that’tho legislature should pass laws to-punish orime, or that their lordships should occupy themselves in

- trying to improve the morals of the . people by - giving them ' education ?

W hat could be the use of sowing a little seed hero and plucking up a ' weed there, if these beer shops are to bo con-

- tinned lo sow the seeds ot immorality

broadcast ovor the land, germinating the most frightful produce tha t ever has been allowed to grow up in a civil­ized country, and, I am ashamed to add, under the fostering care of Parlia­ment.” '•

The prohibition of the poison traffio has’ become the urgent duty of evory legislator, the foremost aim of every moral reformer. The verdict of the most em inent statesmen, physicians, clergymen, patriots and philanthrop­ists, is unanimous on th a t point. We laok energy, not competence; nor the Banotion of a higher authority, to gain the votes of the masses.

On Maroh 17 President Cleveland appointed Dr. Joseph L. Miller, of W est Virginia, as Commissioner of Internal Bevenue, inBtead of Mr. Thompson, of Kentucky. This gives another blow to the great whiskey ring that for years pabt has been seeking to control legisla­tion in its interests. Mr. Miller can be relied upon as a sound mail with a clean record. H e nas been put forward by men, prom inent among whom is Sam­uel J. Eandall, who has fought the whis­key powor-for years.

The city of Wilmington Is never with­ou t ita attractions to the editor o f this paper, when ho can find a valid excuse to visit its genial people. Being a t the Cheater Conference, he accepted an ap­pointm ent as temporary pulpit supply there last Sabbath, and found enough arranged to keep him usefully employ­ed the entire day. A surprisingly large congregation greeted him in the morn­ing at St. Paul’s, where he occupied the place of th e absent pastor, and again at Union M. E . Ohuroh in' the evening, where he ministered for Bev. 0. W. Pretty man, a friend and fellow-laborer of former daya. Fam iliar faces here and there recalled hia Peninsula exper­iences, and others associated with Ocean Grove made him feel quite a t home.’ Socially, his visit was made a delight among such friends as G. W. Todd and Major Swiggett, Bev. J . B. Hodaon, and the Kendall family, with those of Mrs. Vance, Mrs, Bev. E. G. Irw in, Mr. G. Chandler and many others,

Cloths arc not less w orn '. than usual, '1 here is reason for Wraring them more than usual, a double reason : they never were better; they never were nearly so . low. W e mean a single sort o f cloths ; dollar ladies'-cloths for 75 cents. But in this single sort there are more than twenty colors, and m ore than twenty mixtures, .

The predominance o f m ix­tures is notable. . T h e m ix­tures are notable themselves. Form erly a mixture meant as even color as one could get by m ixing different-colored wools. N ow they are stronger; mottles rather than mixtures.

A ltogether out o f accord with the market, these dollar ladies’-cloths at 75 cents are there for a purpose. That purpose is to concentrate all: the trade in ladies’-cloth on them. T h ere are plenty o f them. T h ere isn’t a better in an y respect.'

It comprises over three h undred acres o f land two-thirds o f which a re groves, and th e rem ainder beach land. Tho whole plot is nov^latd out In grand avenues from eighty to th ree h undred feet wide.

H U II .M N G N .

On these avenues about e ight hundred cottages are now built, varying In cost from # 3 0 0 t o 8 t v 0 0 0 . There are about forty additional buildings, consisting o f large, boarding houses, stores, and such o ther ediflcos us the buslnera o f tho place demands. To these buildings o thers ate; .being constantly added, so th a t tho prcclso num ber

.given to-day will not answer for the nurabor a week or a mouth hence. All o f tho cottages are comfortable—some of them plain, and others pos­sessing all th e beauty anti perfection o f m odern architecture.

• S IZ E O F L O T S .

Tho average size of lots 13 SOxfiQ feet, w hich is large euough for a small cottage, such as the m a­jority prefer to build . Those w ho wish to build larger buy two e r more lots.

/ , . In addition to cottages an d boarding houses os places o f resldcnco, tents are used by m any people. Every year, about six hundred o f these are erect­ed, and although the season may ho storm y—the wind sometimes hlowlng.almost a gale—yet. hut few have ever been blown down, w heu properly p u t up. These tonts u re dry nnd comfortable, even in wet w eather. . Many persons prefer tents
