Tho workers Wero always busy! 'A nd th e ir heads were ben t with enro ;

They carrlcd the Rrlefa n fo thers,And theli'cy€H wpro often dim,

As they looked o» th e world’s crcal trouble,Or joined In a prayerful hy mn.

The workcrK were brave o f flpfr{(,And would not miceumb to fear; ‘ •

They kept a t their posla of danger,Tnough the days wero dark nnd d re a r ;

T h eir hearts wero strong and patient*. And thoy lived for tru th and r ig h t ;A nd they m et their work w ith courage, : .

And <Ud it with their might.

T he workers were often .weary.And thoy Hometlmes ftlgbed for rest

But tho calls o f life wero urgent,; .And tbey needs m ust do their b es t;

At lust to tho faithfu l spirits Camo a whispered w ord ," Well done,” ."

And lliiding tho work was over,They vanished, ono by one,

Loavlng the task to others, .And, ending life’s w earyquest,

They sought tbo feet o f the Master,. And entered the Placo of Rest.

■ "About Moody.Mr. Reynolds says: “ Tho li'rat moot­

ing I over saw him at was in 1857, in a a Sittle old shanty thai had been aban­doned by 11 saloon k eeper., -Moody had got tlio placo to hold tho mootings in at night. I went there a little Into, ami the li ret thing I saw was a man island­ing up with a few (allow candles around him, holding a negro boy, .and trying to rend to him tho story of the prodigal son, and a great many words, he could not read out and had loakip. I thought, if the Lord can ever use such an instru ­m en t as that for His honor andg lory it will astonish m e. After that m eeting was overM oody said to ine, ‘ Reynolds, I havo got only one ta le n t; I havo no education, but I love the Lord Jesus Christ and I want to. do som ething for H im ; I want you to pray for m e.’ I havo never ceased from th a t day to this to pray tor that devoted Christian sol­dier. I havo watched him since.then, havu hud counsel with him nnd know hint thoroughly, and for consistent walk and conversation I havo never mot a m an equal to him . I t astounds mo to look back and 6eo what. Moody was thirteen years ago, and then w hat ho is, to-day. Tho last I hoard Irom him was, 1 Pray for m e evory d a y ; pray now th a t tho Lord will keep mo humble.’ “• Moody overheard ono Christian in­quire of Another concerning him , “ Is this young man all 0 0 ?” And when asked what he m eant, replied, “ Is ho nut und.oiiU'orOhvisi?” “ I tell y o u ” Moody confessed later, “ it burned down into my soul.” “ How is it with you to d a y ? ” asked iio o f a littlo child, a m ember of his Sunday-school, who lay dying in one o f the little huts so hastily built after tho lire. “ I t ia all well with m e to-day,” she replied. " B u t aro you a C hristian!” "Yeii.” “ W hondidyou become brio?" “ Do you remember lost Thursday in the Tabernacle when you Bang, ‘Jesus loves even m e?’” “ Yes.” " I t was then I believed on tho Lord Jesus, and now I am going to be with H im to-day!” Tho Htrongth of the testimony of tha t littlo child was enough to tako Mr. Sunkey lo tbo British Isles, as he lm s liiriiaelf testified.

In one of his sermons ho m entions the ease of a woman ?r> years old, who had a Satib'ath-uehool two miles away among tho mountains. On Sun­day tiiere camo a terrible storm of rain and she thought a t first Bhe would not go th a t day; but then alio thought, “ W hat if fomo one should go and not find mo there V” Then she p u t on her oioak and overshoes, took her um ­brella, ami away sho went, through tho storm, two miles oif, to tho Sabbnth- scbool in tho m ountains W hen Bho got thorc she found ono solitary young man, and aim laught h jm ' the beat Shu knew hoiv ail Ihouftornpoo. Shenovor

saw him again. T hat week the young man enlisted in tho arm y and in a year or two after, the old woman got a letter from tho soldier thanking her for going through the storm th a t Sunday. T hat Btormy day he thought he would ju st go and boo if the old woman was in earn ­est an d 'if .sho cam J enough about our souls to go through such a storm of wind and rain. H e found she ’ camo and taught him as carefully as if she were before the whole school, and God mado that tho occasion of winning that young inun lo Christ. W hen he lay dying in a hospital bo sent the message to this old woman th a t ho would meet her in heaven.

Moody was saying from the pulpit t h a t ‘'hand-picked fruit was tho best k in d ; th a t orchardm en do not pick up the fruit that has fallen to the ground and pu t it away to keep late in the sea­son ; but he gets tho fruit tha t ia picked ono by ono, apple by applo, from the bough carefully, and puts it away to keep. Hand-picked fruit is what we want.” An old woman who had been going to my church a great while, when sho heard this began to work. The next night she brought her husband .to the meeting. Ho said, “ I have not darkened the doors of a Church of God for twenty years, but my wife has been tensing mo so all day to como hero to­night I had to come." “ Yea," the old woman said, “ I thought I would try and do some of tho work you told us about last night. My husband was the nearest to mo and I thought I would begin at home and pick him .” Then Moody told of an Episcopal clergyman in England who was staying a t a hotel, and was waited on by a liltlo English girl. H o asked her, “ Do you ever pray?” “ O h ,n o ,s ir!” she replied ,“ wo have no timo hero to pray, I am too busy to do. th a t.’’. “ I want you to prom ­ise me,” said tho clergyman, “ tha t du ­ring the next two m onths you will say three words of prayor every night, and when I como hero a t tho ond of that tim e, I will give you ' half a. crown.” “ All right,” sho said, “ I. will do.it,” “ Well, I want you to say every night, “ Lord, save m e !” H e left, and two months after, whon he came again to thti hotel, inquired for Jane, lind was told, “ Oh, she has got too good to stay a t a hotel, and has gone to. the parson­age up yonder.” ' H e went to see her, and as she opened this door for him she said, “ Oh, you blessed, m an ! I d o n ’t want your half crow n; I have got enough already.” And then she told him how she hod, a t first, ju st carelessly gone e ver'the words us she was going to bed a t nights; but after th e /firs t two weeks she began to th ink what the word mwe m e a n t; then she got a Bible and found the.words, “ Jesus Christ caine into the world to save sinners,” arid the prayer was no longer a m ere form. “ Now,” she said, ‘ I am happy, and don’t wftnt your half crown, bu t I am so thankful you asked mo to say that prayer.”

Littlo Sins. .Kyi.k; There are two ways of com­

ing down from the 'top of a church-sfoc- plo—ono is to jum p down, arid tho other is to como down by the steps; bu t both will.load.you to tho bottom. So, also, are there two. ways of going to hell—ono is to walk into it with y o u r . eyes open (few peoplo do that)* and the other is tb go down by the stops of little sins; and th a t way, X tear,, is only too' common. P u t up with a few little situ’, and you will soon want a fow more (cyan a heathen could say, “ W ho ever was con- tcrit w ith only , one sin ? ”), and. then your course will bs regularly worse and worse every y e a 1, Header; the devil only wants to get th e wedge of a little allowed sin in your heart, and you will soon bo all his own. Never play with firo; never trille with little sins !

A Migious Paper.A prom inent clergyman of Chicago,

after enum erating tho variety of valu­able m atter usually found in a religions .weekly papor, closes with the following rem arks: ” I suppose somo Christian families fcol Unit. the priso of a good religious paper is .more than - they are. able to p a y B l i t the lvalue of such a paper, whon taken and read, is above all price in money. Tho cost a t tho m ost is only, u few pennies a week. There aro m any molhora who soprijse

th e assistance o f such a paper in .the education of their families that '(hoy would sooner wear one hat less a year than dispense with their paper.' There ',ue fathers who would buy a coat cheaper by the cost of the paper rather than bo deprived o f ita blessing. So deeply do I feeV the need, of such .a paper iis an educating force in my; life and home th a t I count it not a t all among the luxuries b.ut necessaries, of.m y' table, A nd I am sure that, where it is taken and read, an d not lam upon tho shelf ,to stay there, it will bo an invaluable edu­cator of both the homo and the Church into that lifo which we live by the faith o f 'th e Son of God.”

A Bead Prayer-Meeting.A correspondent writes : Tlio follow­

ing, from my “ Scrap book,” may liaxe been in the A dweais before, but it seems to me well worth repeating as an -»?x- hortatiqn and warning to more Chris­tian faithfulness of duty;

Died, i n . Laodicea, the prayor-meet-. ing, aged.one year. Th*, health of this” prayer-meeting was poor, most of the year, and its life was despaired of ; but anxious friends kept i t alive, and some­times it would so.revive as to encour­age-. them, Discouragement,; however, a t lasl. prevailed and the .prayer-meet­ing ;?/«?,; I t died from neglect: Not a Christian was preisen t■ when' it died. Over forty lire living within a mile , of it, and riot ono was there. H ad -only two been there its life m ight have been saved, for where two a re ' agreed . as touching any. thing they ask it Bhall be done for thorn. Two-thirds of tho forty m ight have been there, had they been so disposed, but they were not, and the meeting died.

Carlyle’s “ Eobsrt Burns.”HY REV. 'I'. M. ORIFFITH.

Literary peoplo aro now interested afresh in all that, was over, written hy that princoly book-writer, Thomas Car­lyle, recently deceased. His great essay on Burns presents the poet in a moat attractive light, and; yot. fails not to notice a few of his faulte. Am id great disadvantages—if. w ant.of culture, want of comfort grid other, annoyances ..be considered disadvantages iri a true poet :—he succeeded in striking a chord which yielded the sweetest melody. H e displayed marvelous insight, tender sym pathy for suffering, and a delicate appreciation of nature. H o had a poet soul th a t could see som ething worthy of song in the “ daisy ” falling under hia plowshare, the :11-w.ee mousie” whose neat wan disturbed in the open field, anil tlio birds th a t warbled “ through the leafy; lawn,” as well as in the clash of aria's a t “ Bannockburn." T helittle song known by this nam e was composed on horseback while the poet was riding over the wildest Galloway moor, and Carlyle says it should bo sung by tbo

throat of the whirlwind,” adding that " s o long as Ibore is warm blood in tho heart of tho Scotchman, or man, it will uiovo in fierce thrills under this jvar-ode, tho best,.we boliove, that was ovor writ­ten by any pen .''

Carlyle finds a., mystery, which ho scarcoly penetrates, in the later life of B u rn B W h y did ho dio a t only thirty- seven ? W hat strange spell m ade his life eo wretched tllat it could vot bear the strain ? I t was not poverty, for the poet was happy in his youth, though pinched with want, wliilo Byron pro­fessed $ tragic! misery iri the midst of rank anfl riches. I t was—so thinks tho sago of Chelsea—a want of harm ony— a failure to pursuethooneain i for which his nature was fitted ; tha t wah, poetry, puro and sim ple, while ho fretted be*, cauaa ho could not bo an others wero, rich and free. This want o f harm ony or unity of aim , or whatever it m ight be called, wore out tho sensitive soul of this born priest of na tu re—this seor and songster, toward whom, for a century, tho oyes and ears of tho world havo turned, as if en tranced,

W ould not any commqn-sonao ob­server of fuels in the life of Burns ho likely to suggesBt a less vague and less sentim ental reason for hia prem ature death, namely, tho wiite cup and ita ae- conipanying forma of dissipation. Ono who would have faced firo and flood to gratify his love for strong d rin k —ac­cording to his own declaration—must hay? been under a woful witchery, drag­ging down to death. B ut lhei:o may

have beenothercauscs; as, forinstanco, his' love of conviviality, leading to irreg­ular hours. Whon he arrived n t an inn, even though i t was' midnight, in ten minutes, we are told, the host and all his guests would rise from their beds rind gather around this fascinating friend— perhaps a very king of uproariouB rov- elry, Somo of hia poems are Tar from being pure—in fact, riot tit to be read in any decent company, or by any youth of either sex, reminding us not only of the rude ago in which the poet lived, but suggesting , sad suspicions in refer­ence to his own life. And yet our re­viewer stands o<er this life—probably a moral wreck—and says, “ He passed, not. softly, yet speedily, into Liu still country tvhers the hail-storms anti fire- showers do not reach, aud the heaviest laden wayfarer a t length lays down his load.” ..

Did Carlyle “ believe in the lifo ever­lasting?” I t would seem e o ; for ho was wOnt to .rido six miles on horseback, with wife and sisters, to the parish church pf . Craigenputtock-; but hois can a beiiever in a Christian creed con­ceive of a lifo such £3 Burns lived, as­suredly griding in storm less repose ? Many a* soul may have been iod astray by the wild, weird power th a t lurks in the songs of Burns. The poison is more dangerous when fo u n d : iri the' tlowor than in the worthless, weed. But we could not expect > very acute moral senso In' the mind o f h i critic, who, with all, his hatred of hollowness and shams, could find a hero in Frederick and glo­rify might as right.w hen i t beconiOs per- manonllv successful.

Availing Prayer.A largo part of the instructions and

tlio exhortations addressed to Christian believers in tho Word of God might ba briefly comprehended in this twofold direction to work nnd pray. To pray, because everything in the form of bless­ing comes from God, and is conditioned on His favor. To work, because H e has appointed us-u work and has made our work essontial to all true success. To the Church m a body, and to every individual believer, no precept can be more fnndametal and im portant; than that which requires us to pray without Seasirig, and to work whilo wo pray. I t is praying breath that sanctifies, all work, arid it is th e working prayor that rifes acceptable to God a«s\veet incense, and brings down the divine blessings; To them that have believed,to the saving of their souls this doublo life of prayer and work is the essence of tho .Gospel, sum of: Christian experienco and the euro condition Of. all high spiritual a t­tainm ents in God’s service. * * ; *

Tho Apostle Jam es says: “ Ye ask and receive not, because yd ask amiss, tha t ye may consume it upon your lusts.” Of course, tho motive of the praying, m an. m ust bo pure,.the heart right before God; For, says the Psalip_-_ ist,•“ 'I f .I regard iniquity;in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.” And we m ust iisk in strong faith. fc 'B Jaines again : “ Let him ask in faith nothing doubting. For ho tha t doubteth is liko a wave of tlie sea drivon with tho wind and tossed. Let not tha t m an think that ho shall receive anything of the Lord.” Again, wo m ust pray with earn­est im portunity, feeling tha t wo iieed the blessing and cannot livo without it. Many prayersfail because thoy have no such urgency and deep conviction of nocd. Still further, we, niiist continue to pray, feeling that we cannot give it up. Wo m ust pei-severe in prayer if wo would prevail. Such prayor is always answered in ono form or another,

Tho Lifo of Lsvo.Lovo to Christ smooths tho path of

duty, and wings the feet to travel it; it is tho bow which impels the arrow of obedience; it iB the mainspring moving tho wheels of d u ty ; it is tho strong arm tugging the oar of .diligence. Loyo is the;murrow of tho bones of fidelity,'this blood in the veins of piety, tlie sinews of spiritual strength ; yea, the lifo of sincere devotion. H e that hath lovo can no more bo motionless than the oapen in the gulo, tho scar loaf 'in ihe hurricane, or tho spray in the lompost. An wall may hoarls coaso to beat, He lovo to labor. Lovo is instinct with ac­tivity, i t cannot bo id le ; it is full of en­ergy, it cannot content ilsolf with lit t le s ; it is ti:o well-spring of heroism, and great doqds uro the guehinga of its fOun­

ta in ; it is a g ian t,M t heapeth m oun­tains ripon mountain's, and thinks the pile hut l i t t l e i t t i n m ighty mystery, for it changes bitter into sw eet; it callo death life, and life death ; and it mokes pain less painful, than enjoyment;— Spurgeon.

A Conference Love-Feast,Tho placc was an inland city Bur-

roundcd by high m ountains, Pottsvillo by nam e. The timo last Sabbath m orn­ing. F or convenience to a large audi­ence; the services of the occasion were held in the Academy of-JIusic, an artis- tic building, with its “ parquet,” “ dress circle,” “ pit” and “ galleries;” and an expansive “ stage” with varied- scenic effects, o n w h ic tiin the midst of an illu­sory forest, with pictureaque Grecian tem ple ruins in the ■ background, the. brethren assembled to " te ll the old, old story," and sing “ of Jeaus arid his love.”

There waa but a single -hour appro­priated to the morning oxperienoe meet­ing before .preaching, so th a t Rev. Jos. Welch, who had chargo, exercised a good deal of necessary tact in directing the im provem ent of tim e. Tho hymn, “ Come ye tha t love the Lord,” Ac., waa announced, arid a very suitable tune raised.by the leader himself, for which ho earned the good, opinion of all, for common sense iri the matter. Thesing- ing was, of. course, g ran d ; beyond any­thing ' tho walls of tha t temple of the muses had. evsr ro cuhoed; for it rolled out and upward from deep-chested arid warm-hearted Methodist '.preachers'.

Rev. A. Atwood set the spiritual key of the meeting by ’ brief and yet very comprehensive, prayer.. W ell chosen selections from . the Scriptures, in tbe sp irit of joyous testimony, wero read, a verse or two of " Children of the heav- enly King,” wa3 su ng ,'and like the Psalmist, when ho was “ musing,” and his “ heart becamo ho t within him ,” the brethren began to speak with tho tonjue.

Tho Church, said Bro. Welch, has borne, tbe character of a singing and praying Church, and to this 'sbould always bo added the departm ent of Christian testimony, “ Ye a re iny-wit­nesses.’” : In regard to himaolf, through a life of arduous toil : and some Buffer­ing, God had led, and strengthened and sustained him, and divine grace trans­formed the-wilderness into a land of Beulah. Ho knew Christ' not moroly tbroi'gh tlio revealings of tho Book, hut by the Holy Ghost, as a personal and conscious Saviour,

A stanza was sung with great hearti­ness, arid Bro. Cummins, ono of tho eUlers, rem arked that he was glad to remember what was said of two or three meeting together; Our object conse­crates this placo into a houso of God. In perplexities manifold he enjoyed perfect poace.

Bro. Griffith', referring to a passage -read in the lesson of the morning, “ Whom having not seen ye love," Ac., said h ls; experierico tallied with tha t verse. H o no t only expectod to be saved at last, but, in the present tense, believing he rejoiced with joy unapeak- ablo.

Rov. I. It. Merrill had tho illimitable fulness of Christ to lean iipou, and a hope full of im mortal life.

Bro. Atwood, in recalling the remi­niscences of half a century, feared that some of our primitive simplicity was lost. . I t had become the fashion of modern times to use tbb 'term “ cant,1- applied to tho huppy exprosssion of tho inner life. H e said tbat ho had been in the King's highway i.ineo 1823. Hia father’s and m other’s joyful piety helped to ground him in the faith. H is long life of labor had been singularly free from caro. H e had no fear. A great majority of his friends had gono ovor to the other shore—iho brightside. apd ho expected soon to-bo. am ong them . H o praised God for M ethodism—for pure anil undefiled religion. For ita promo­tion ho loved lo work and write as long as ho had the power. . :.. ., . '

“ Yea, doubtless,” said Bro. Formosa, “ I count all things but loss for tho ex­cellency of Christ Jesus.” Although not in effective relations, he loved God wUh.iill his heart.. * ;

Rov. S. Rurnes had m any reminis­cences at this Conferonco love-foast. Ho was borri not far from the place, familiar from hiij youtn with ilio u.ivel- ing preachers, spojit thrpe htjppy-yqai^ ua pastor iu I’ottsville, and foil th a t hia

life was wholly consocratod to God and tlio work of the m inistry all the way along.

One of the young brethren testified to a living faith in a complete Saviour.

Bro. Paxson, in espousing tho cause of Christ, had suffered no loss, but se­cured great gain in every respect.

C. I. Thompson looked back over the vista of forty years since he gave- his heart to God. H o retained a vivid real­ization of th a t bljssful'fcvent, and tbe way was growing brighter, and religious consolation “ better farther on.”

Bro. Major had u n extraord inary ex­perience during tJie year, but he en­dured tho pressure, and found light ill darkness.

Elder Swindells referred to tho past year, with all ita activities in labor, as one of signal blessing. H o was follmved by Bro. Manship, who was happy in God, after a year or two of conflict and victory. H e had shouted over 500 soiils converted.

A brother thought tho Church had not lost m uch of p rim itive power, but was well equipped Uo go forth and w in . the world to Jesus. H e was eager to help in the work.

Bro. lso tt had como up to Conference after a good year of w ork and results.

Bro. Fries belioved in testim ony. It was while attempting, to speak in an experience m eeting th e Lord powor- fully converted hie soul.

A German convert (from the Romish Church) rejoiced ho w as in a singing, praying and speaking Church. There was a constant hallelujah in Tiis ronowed heart. H is words boI tbo m eeting on firo, and shouta wero heard all over the house. Thespeakirig, interspersed with lively singing, continued for somo,time, and ended with one of th e old-fashioned songa of Zion.

Notes and. Opinions.A Baltimore religious paporsays that

ministerial loafers a re a n abom ination.Bishop Green of the Protestant Epis­

copal Church in Mississippi is laid aside from his duties by a sovere attack of illness.

Rov. W . M- Thayer says th a t a m an who drinks wino is thoreby prejudiced to such an extent th a t lie is disqualified for translating tho Bibl<i.

Although E m peror Dom P ed ro ' of Brazil is a Catholic, he is such a be­liever in miaaionB th a i ho offers to pay the expenses o f P ro testan t missionaries to his country.

Spurgeon says th a t thero is a . great deal of p rayor which is lo n e in an objectionably • slovenly m anner Ho thinks th a t praying is quite as im por­tan t as proaching, and th a t the prepara­tion for it ought to be as carefully made.

But, after all, tho credit for developing this departm ent of 'special education arid ruiB ing it to 'i t s present standard, is due to individual enterprise. Perhaps no institution in he country has done more toward tho

elevation of this class of schools than the Capital City Commercial College, of Trenton, under the m anagem ent of Hon. A. J. Rider. Too much c u n not bo said in praise of this excellent insti­tution .— True American. Seo advertise­m ent of Spring opening;

Hsv. George F. Brown, D, D.Tho subject of this sketch was born

March 33th, 1S00. l io was converted in Orange county, New York, a t the early age of 10, under tho m inistry ofRovs. George Banghart and Georgo W ilt­shire. . So. rapidly did ho advance in spiritual and , divine things th a t when only a littlo past 19 years of ago, Rev. Lawrence McCombs, presiding eldor, called him to labor on a mission having Stroudsburg, Pa., as a base, and extend­ing 130 miles above on both sidos of the Delaware River. This .’was a large, rough field, and bo b iita boy ;,yot called of God and tlio Church h e w ent forth cheerfully; trusting in H im who had said, " L o !- Iu m with you always, oven unto the- end of tho worid.” For his six m onths' labor on this fioUl ho re­ceived the sum of $10, but soon after it was paid him , finding a church in needy circumstances, with characteristic gen­erosity gavo half the sum to help it out of trouble.

W hen only 20 years of age ho was re­ceived on trial by the Philadelphia Con­ference, which m et iii 1S2H in .the sec- oml-stnry romn: of the little scliool- house in the rear of I'nionM . K, Church, Fourth St. below Arch, Philadelphia, 'flint robin not only held all the m em ­bers of the Conferoiiee—so lew were their numbers, and so little .attention did their assembling a ttrac t-b i.it thoro was eoniiderublo room to spare. How great, the change! Now wo scarcely find a church in all the land of sufficient capacity to accommodate all who,from motives of interest or curiosity, are drawn together on such occasions.

His career ns an itinerant m inister was one of m arked success, H is fields of labor were among the most im port­an t—W estPhilndelphia,M t. Holly, Bur­lington, Salem, Trenton and other places. A t the a g e o f 36, so ripe was his judgm ent and so wise his counsels, th a t lie w as appointed presiding older, which responsible oflico he filled for 14 years, and was only allowed to retire from it when in the judgm ent of h im ­self and friends its labors wero too ar­duous for his declining health.

As an expression of the high appre­ciation of his abilities and personal worth, his brethren elected him in 1S48, 1852,1S5G, and 18G0 to represent them in the General Conference, where his inlluence was felt in favor of the aggres­sive measures of the Church, subservi­ent always, ■; however, to the soundest and most thorough Methodistic usageB atid polity.

In 185S, Dickinson College, as an ap­propriate expression of its estim ate of his abilities, conferred on him the. hon­orary degree of Doctor o f Divinity. No act could have been more gratifying to his friends, as he was everywhere re­g a rd e d ^ a Bound divine and an able minister. .

Dr. Brown was the m ost gonial of men. In the pulpit, in the councils of the Church, and in the discussion of abstruse subjects, be was severely grave; sometimes almost to a fault; yet from all this he could turn away and hia aoul, full of sunshine, light up his counten­ance with a kind of electric joy, .until all hearts caught tho beautiful contagion and the most morose found in hia pres­ence a difficulty in boing sad.

The thought sometimes occurred, Was Dr. Biown over gloomy ? Possibly ho may have been, but if so lie had learned to perfection tho happy a r t of throwing off at will his loud of care, and gliding out from the gloomy atmosphere become in a single m om ent as artless and playful as a child. Tho littlo chil­dren loved him, and when they met received from him a gonial smile, a pleasant word or a gontlo kisa.

Dr. Brown has resided in Trenton since 1868, and was connected with Cen­tral Oiiurch as supernum erary. D ur­ing that tim e he was ono of its most interested and efficient trustees. To the success of th iB Church be gave hia coun sel and h is means, and in tho most crit­ical period of its history, with a gener­osity of soul as unselfish and noble as it was tim ely and im portant, came for­ward and rendered failure impossible. I f in the future of this young Church there shall be anything great, or grand, or good, to Rov. George F . Brown, D.D., as a hum an instrum ent, m ust a large am ount of praise be given.

Some weeka ago he left liis homo to attend to business in Tennessee. H e was attacked with paralysis in the rail­way cars between Pittsburg and Cincin­nati, which deprived him of speech and nffected the wholo of his right side. H e was carried to Cincinnati aiid taken to the Masonic Hospital, whore he had all tlic attention th a t skill and friendship could supply. H e lingered . with but partial re tu rn of consciousness until he quietly fell asleep in Jeau-: on Sabbath, March 20, a t 8 a . M., aged 72 years and 7 days. E . H. 8.

Marricd.—On Wednesday, M arch 23, 1881, in Ocean .Grovo, by Rov. i>.S. Par- molee, Mr. F rank W. Vv ilson, of Asbury Paris, to Miss Alice A. Crawford, o f the former place.

R eception Sociaiiu :.—Dr. Stokes re­sumed tlio pastorate o f St. P au l’s last Sabbath, and proached, it is said, with unwonted energy. On Tuesday evening

reception sociablo was held a t the Howland Houso, when over three h u n ­dred guests sa t down to supper. The speaking which followed, under tho in­centive given by Vice President Ballard, was by Bros. Januett, G‘. Hughes, Dr. W ythe, Q. W. Evans, T. W. Lillagoro, G. C. Bancroft and Rov. B- C. Lippin- cott, the lately appointed pastor at As­bury Park. L ike former occasions of sim ilar character it was a lively! enthu­siastic and enjoyablo affair. A num ber of tho Park peoplo wero present.

After this week wo shall bo able to give a littlo more personal attention to ollico business, and visiting friends who may desire our services in tho selection of cottages a t tlio Grovo.

. " Gentle Spring.”The days and nights aro now every­

where equal, and while the north pole ia ju st coming into light the south polo in sinking into the Iotigantarctic night. At the equator the aim is exactly over­head a t noon. Somo persons find it difficult to understand the astronomical division of tho seasons, which is never­theless more accurate than the ordinary division. Astronomically the seasons begin.when tho sun crosses the equa­tor iri the spring and fall, and when he reaches tlio two points of greatestdiver- gence from the equator in sum m er and winter. These points fall some twenty- days later in each case than the datea fixed in tho almanacs for tho beginning of the Bensons. In reality tho year has only two primary divisions, which are determined by tho position of tho sun north or south of tlio equator. Spring and autum n aro merely transitional periods making Uio gradual change from cold to warm and from warm to cold.

Tho equinoctial storm s, which occur twice i year, about the timo when tho sun crosses the equator, have im m em o­rial!;,- occupied an im portant place in popular weather lore. The farmers look for them regularly, lind farm work is sometimes seriously disarranged by a tardy “ equinoctial.” This timo tho sun makes a stonily crossing, and under such circumstances it is said that a period of good weather ia in prospect.

The Philadelphia Conference,The proceedings of this body, lasting

from Wednesday, March 10, to Tuesday night of the present week, woroof more than ordinary interest. W hen tho Con­ference meets in an inland city or town its members have larger opportunities for social and religious intercourse, and thero iB leas to detract from attention to business than when" the annual session convenes in Philadelphia.

I l was ■ remembered when tho up trains ol Monday and Tuesday brought tho brethren togothor in the “ M ountain City,” that juat oloven years ago, in tho midat of a first-clnsa sriwy storm", they spen t a pleasant wcok in sim ilar engage­ments. Groat strides of improvement havo been m adein the meantim e. The grand old hills with their valuable strata of anthracite rem ain unchanged, oxcept as dotted hero and thore about their foot slopes with buildings, but m any new edifices, and a widening area of commercial enterprise, have given increased comeliness and importance to the place.

Opinions varied somewhat as to the propriety of selecting the Academy of Music for the proceedings, but tho resi­dent pastor, Rov. S. N. Chew, and his local committee on entertainm ent, con­cluding th a t ho other building would hold half the num ber of people who m ight wish to attend, and also desiring to save their church edifice from the terrible wear and tear of a week’s con­stant attendance, made tho selection, and in this regard the Conferenco was well accommodated.

As to entortainment, the peoplo of most of tho religious denom inations of tho town, joined heartily with tlio.adhe- rents of Methodism, and all who camo found open doors and a hearty welcomo. Those unable to accommodate m inis­ters a t thoir homes made a r r a n g o m o n tB a t tho best hotels where quite a num ber wore handsomely provided lor.

THE ltlSTOUHJAi, SOCIETY;:

A reception was held in the M. E. Church on tho evening before Confer­ence opened, aud addresses of welcomo wore made with suitable rosponsee.

This w as-partly in connection with tho anniversary of tho Historical Soci­ety, a t which Revs. G. W. Lybraud, J.S . Hughes, W in. Swindolls, Controller Pat- tiaon, of Philadelphia, and Dr. Buckley, editor of the Advocate, . made good speeches, and a t the instance of Rov. S W . Thomas a good collection was raisod for the society. Its board of marmgors aro Revs. G. \V. M aclaughlin, W . M. Ridgway, M. D. Kurtz, J . S. J . McCon­nell aud T. A. Fernloy; .laymen, H . C. Shurtleff, H . M. Reading, H . Q. Nichol­

son, W m. NelBon West, E. P. Smitliers and Jam es McCauley, -

oi'E S lN U SESSION.Bishop Harris, tho presiding oilicer

of the Conferenco, was prom ptly in hie cliair on Wednesday m orning, and after appropriate religious services, in which Bros. Dickerson and Lybrahd assisted, had the roll called. Rev. J, S. J . Mc­Connell was re-elected secretary, and J. O’Neill, J. R. T. Gray, T. Kirkpatrick, W . M. Ridgway; J . S. Cook, G. W. Ly- brand and N. B. Durell assistants;

Rev, Dre. Tiffany from New York, and E. B. Snyder, from tho Pittsburg Conferenco, took seata as membors, by transfer, and the usual long list of Standing Committees wore nom inated and elected.

CASE OP DR. MILLER.T. B. Miller, M.D., appealed from the

decision of the court that tried and ex­pelled him a year ago, and was sent buck by a Judicial Conferenco for anew trial. Presiding Elder Swindolls pre­pared now charges, and alter spending several days in going over the ground, a compromise was effected by giving the accused leavo to withdraw. This be did, after a manly and oloquentspeoch, on Saturday. Ono yoar has greatly modified the crazo of excitemont under which he was formerly arraigned, an- otheryear may show th a t 1)8 was not the “ fraud” some newspaper reporters tried to m ake out. Wo hope ho will stick to thu Church, and work bis way up to hia former status in m inisterial efficiency.

REV, T. XKI,I,Y VINDICATED.As was said in this paper some weeks

ago, the combination, of circumstances which came near crushing tho popular Thos. Kelly, of W estern M. E. Church, ra ther overreached itself, and witli a little timo for calm reflection, and a thorough sifting or the animua of the matter, a judicial court appointed by the Conference, cleared him , with the single proviso th a t ho has been incau­tious, aiid imposed no further penalty than what ho had already sull'ered. A largo num ber of tlio members of his Church were in attendance day after day, anxious for his vindication, and appeared to he overjoyed «hcn the result was made known.

CONKECTtONAI. IN1ERISTO.Tho presence of Rev. Dr. H unt, rep­

resenting tho American Bible Society, and our own Dr. H unt, of tho Method­ist Book Concern, with Dr. Buckley, of tl»e Ailmcfile, and several other distin­guished visitors, who were -introduced and addressed the Conference, helped to fill out tho proceedings of tho first day, tho afternoon of which was given to the W omen’s Foreign Missionary Society for their anniversary, and a t which ad- dressos were delivered by Mrs. Rev. Henry W heeler and others, and the evening to that of the education society, which was woll sustained. Revs. J . H. Hargis, Prof. Littlo and Dr. K idder ad­dressed an audionce crowding the Acad­emy.

SECOND DAY.

Thursday was devoted to the "Stew ­ard's call ” and sundry o ther m atters of routine business, among which was tho annual exhibit of the M. E . Book Con- corn, aud tlic usual exam ination of character.

The Ladies! and Pastors' Christian Union had the afternoon and the Con­ference T ract Society occupied the even­ing for their respective anniversaries, both of which were well a ’.ended. The former becomes merged hereafter with the W om an’s H om e Missionary Society, of which Mrs. R. B. H ayes is president, and Mrs. Dr. Rust is the m ainspring in getting it into working shape.

Dr. H unt, of Now York, and lt6v. T. T. Everett wero the speakers a t the Tract Annivorsary. •

THIRD DAY.A large am ount of business, most of

it of an oxeiling character, passed uiider review. The liveliest discussions of the day wore elicited ovor a re-arrangem ent of the districts, m aking only four, and each one to centre in the city of Phila­delphia.

Asenaiblo paper from the local preach­ers of the city was laid before tiro Con­ference, calling attention to the charac­ter and am ount of work performed by tha t body, and suggesting th a t the pas­tors encourage young m en of promiso to enter the local ranks to stay there, and help to meet the ever-increasing demands made upon tho Association for labor was laid before tho body.

Tho exam ination of character W as continued and completed, and a grand Sunday-school demonstration was bald in tho afternoon. .

On Friday evening tho featuro of tho Church Extonniou Anniversary, after a forcible address by Rev. J. Richurds Boyle, was Chaplain McCabe’s oloquent speech, abomiding with witty words and striking incidents relating to the build­ing of new churohos in tho distant W est and impoverished South. •Soofleqtively did Dr. McCabbe urge Mb causo th a t a thousand dollars were offered a t the closp to carry i t on. I t was a n evening •of high privilege. •

FOURTH DAY.

The business usually attended to a t Conferenco on Friday—that of calling up tho candidates for admission into full connection and olectionto deacon’s orders, was deferred until Saturday. The class, consisting of J. O. Wilson, George Gaul, A. W. Quimby, S. O. Gar­rison, Robert McKay, Wm. II. Shaofer, W. H . Smith, W. H. Pickop, T 'M uteh- ler and C. Hudson, wero all fine looking young men. Tho questions wero all answered until it came to abstaining from the uso o f tobacco. H ere two of tho num ber hesitated, and the Confer­enco entered into a long debate. Thoro waa alao a good deal of opposition brought out on the reading of sermons.

Tlio election of local preachers to dcacona1 and elders’ orders,M id some general business filled lip Ihe session.

T H E S .U 1UATII.

Pottsville had a high day of religious service last Sunday. In tlio Academy, where tlio Conferenco sessions were hold, three sermons wore preached, be­sides the early experience meeting, and on each occasion the house was packed with people. Bishop H arris’ sermon in the morning on Isa. 03; 1, was rich in Scriptural quotation and eloquent in the presentation of Christ’s sublime character and redeeming work, Xlessrs. Gaul, Smith, Pickop, Lynch and H ud­son, travoling, and Burkhart, Pike, Culp, G. W. Clark ami S. \V. Smith local min- ietera, were duly ordained deacons.

T H E MISSIONARY SERMON

was preached at 3 i v m . by Rev, J . R. T, Gray, which was one of tho best ovor delivered boforo the Conferenco, and the great missionary anniversary was held in the evening, considerable enthusiasm being exhibited over tho advance re­ported in the aggregatooi'contributions for.tho year, which was nearly $0,000. Colson Heiskoll occupied tho chair, and Rov. ii. W. Gordon read tho treasurer's report. Tho addresses wero. delivered by ltevs. Albert Mann, Jr., J. T. Satch­el!, Dr. Tiffany ami Dr. Road, of NewYork. ' ......... ■

SIX T H AND LAST DAY.

The first business brought forward was tho fixing of the sea t of the next Conferoncc. On invitation o f Rov. S. BarneV Frankford, Philadelphia, was unanim ously selected.

Mrs. Dr. Rust addressed (lie Confer­ence on her new specialty, tho W omen’s Home Missionary Society, and reports from various committees were read and ucted upon.

Some sonsution was created when the vordict iii thu ease of Rov. T. Kolly was announced. It gave very general satis­faction to find this brolher exonerated from tho base crime chargod upon him, although he was adjudged incautious and too easily led off in the dangerous mazes ofspiritualism .

Rov. Jam es Cunningham, who took charge of Lehigh District, after tho death of Dr. Chaplain and performed all tho arduous Borvices without com­pensation, received an ovation of thanks from the Conferenco, and il substantial ovidenco of appreciation from tho m in­isters of the district.

Rev. S. W. Thomas brought up the question of a hoys’ seminary, hut after some sensible rem arks from Elder Pux- son the Conferenco B a t down on this pet projeot.

MEMORIAL HERVIt.'i:. '

Theafternoon of Tuesday was devoted to the reading of memoirs rolating to ministers decousod during the past year. Rov. Joseph Mason presided, Rov, C. I. Thompson conducted tlio opening ser­vices, Tho memoir of Rov. J. F. Clmp- lain, D. D,, prepared by A Wallace,was read by Secretary McConnell, after which, touching romurks were inado by Bros. Cooper. Thompson, Dr. Carrow, W. H . E lliott, T. Stovons and others, Memoirs of Rev, Jobcph Bickerlim and the lato Dr Castle were also read, fol­lowed by appropriate rem arks from membors of the Conference, and a largo audionce seemed lo be deeply interested in thevo tender.renoiioetions of brethren for their friends gono before. .

LAST SESSION'.By hurrying up the business, Confpr-

erice wrfs closed on Tuesday night. Tho crowd was oven greater than usual, tho discussions wore spicy, regular business was finished up in ordor, and tho foil ow­ing candidates wore received on proba­tion : R. S. DeBow, Her.ry It, Robinson, Wm. Redhefler, C. L. Gaul, C. S. Mor* vino, W m . Powick, Jabez B. Bickortou,B. T. CaDon and Frank Bruco Lynch;

A t a lato hour Bishop H arris rose on hi* feet with tho paper in his hand con­taining tho now plan of district* and tho . stations for tho ensuing year. Tho ink­lings some brethren had .received of their destiny gavo them keen distress. We havo no t witnessed in m any years bo much apparent blundering in ihe. distribution of tho proachors. Good mon have had to subm it to change and accept poor places to allow less avail­able, biit moro pushing follows to gain position. A.few of tho announcem ents wore crushing, and although we nover could excuse unm anly tears a t such a timo it is evident thero were somo deeply afllicted in the places assigned thom. . .

Tho session adjourned sine r//cnfter tho, reading of tho.following

From Washington.After the disappearance nnil. tum ult

of tho inauguration m ultitude from our city came the anxiety a n d . excitem ent, in Methodist circles, connected with tbe

• recent session of the Baltimoro Confer­ence a t Martinsburg, W. Ya; Mnny of the appointm ents for this district gave great dissatisfaction. One church ahpo- liitoly rofuses. to roceivo the preacher sent to them, and it is reported that somo changes, consequently, m ust ho made. Tho urgent request!of auothor church, whoso official hoard had utianir moiisly invited a m inister p flhe Confer­ence to their pastorate, was unheeded, and i t is greatly feared th a t the pros­perity, of that church will thereby be much hindered; In the case o f a third, both preacheraud people are displeased.

It in a , common saying, and with m any persons a firm belief, that the Lord always overrules ovil and makes it rcault in good. This no doubt in often true ; but to do evil under the va^ue hope tha t good may come of it is clearly condemned in the Seriptnro3. No such flimsy disguise will avail as an excuse for sotting a t defiance hum an rights. Governments, whether" of Ch.ureh or State, are instituted for the good of the peoplo, and no t for the more gratifica­tion of those who chance to occupy places of power.

No doubt in the Methodist economy of appointm ents it is a perplexing duty to assign each m an to the-p lace—all things duly considered—th a t ho should occupy for the term the law ot the Church prescribes as the lim it ho must not exceed. B ut the w elfare-of the Church and the promotion of.tho cause of God arc tho primary considerations Lhat should always.have, precedence.in such appointments. Whon a man acts himself in direct opposition to a whole congregation o f . intelligent Christians, and. persists in that opposition, notwith­standing thoir remons;rances, simply because ho occupies a place o f power, ho is a dictator, and the prosperity of tho Church, in the hands of such a m an, i« of but secomlary consideration.

T h e new President and Cabinet «oem to give very general satisfaction through'-.

’ out tlie country. Tho adm irable (nulli­fications of the President, for the duties of his high otlice. and also tho peculiar fitness of the heads of tho departm ents for their respective positions, havo al­ready inspired increased' confidence in the government, and give assuranoo of a very prosperous adm inistration. No doubt there will be an extra session ol' Congress to legialate chiefly in relation to funding tho public debt. The public interest! xeem to demand .that-th is should be done w ithout unnecessary de­lay.

Dr. Lanahan delivered his closing dis­course a t Foundry last Sabbath m orn­ing to a crowd( d congregation, l i e has served a thveo. years term thero with great ofiicieney, and perfect harm ony has prevailed; llis successor, Rev. F. Ward, was present, and his appoint*
