ILLREPORTS CONCERNING BRETH-


hEN.
A correspondent, after some structures
upon an article in our last, which was cop
led by request from the Recorder and Tel
egraph, entitled "Religious Zeal" pro-
ceeds as follows:
The proper duty Of Christians, and it is
the duty of all men, in regard to reports in
furious to individuals, TO religion, or to a.
ny good thing,-is to give them no unneces-
sary, idle, or garrulous extension. Chris
tians are bound to treat the character of
Christians and all others, with Kindness
is not according to knowledge - and as it
is unreasonable and contrary to fact, to
expect that ministers and protesting chris
tians should never commit an error. so it
will ever appear uncandid and bgoted, and
perversion of truth, not to frankly allow g.
condemn such errors when they are dis
! cussed, as they will be, and when the truth
OF them cannot be controverted.
agree entirely with the writer in ques-
tiou, that reports in relation to the impru-
dent and Objectionable things said and done
in times ofreligious revival are in nine cases
ont of ten mere fabrications. They are the
devices of wicked men, and all persons
ought to know, that they should be receiv-
ed with caution, and credited only upon
the fullest evidence. Christians at any
rate cannot be justified in promulgating
censure against their brethren or any sup
posed work of grace, founded upon the idle
or malicious tales of the enemies of reli-
glon. But having ascertained an evil re-
port to be true / nrotest aoainsf covar;no
"up when it is called in question, or extern
uatIng or taking from the enormity of an

inexpedient and dishonest. c.,

How MUCH GOOD TWO CHRISTIANS CAN
Do.-In the Spring Of 1925, two young
merchants of Boston, neither of them very
wealthy nor very influential, were sitting
together on a pleasant evening, and con-
versing upon the greatness Of their obliga-
tons to Christ. Suddenly the CONVERSE
ton turned upon the moral condition of
their city, and the great need there was of
more churches in which the truth should be
faithfully dispensed. SWELL" said one of
them, "whatever is accomplished must be
begun what if we should undertake to
effect the building ola church r. The 9TH
er hesitated moment, and then said. at
looks like great undertaking. but if Mills,
though s'a small man." as he said, could
make his influence felt across the Atlantic.
we can at least make the attempt you pro-
pose" The thing was agreed on. That
very night subscription paper was drawn
up, and the next morning the subject was
laid before some Of the older and more
wealthy bretheren, put down their names
for liberal share of the stock land encour-
aged the same in others. The amount
was soon swelled to nearly $4,000 dollars;
a plot of ground was purchased, and
house erected. This is the origin Of DR..
Beecher's church: and when we say this,
we probably state wssat is new to every in
dividuai in Boston, except the two who
we're Immediately concerned. On opening

the house Of worship, large congregation
was suddenly gathered, consisting in no
small part, Of those who had attended u
nitarian or UmiversaliSt preaching, or were
not connected with any religious society.
Those who invested money in the house,
have, we nelieve, been fully compensated
by the sale or value Of the pews and as
we said last week, the Spirit of God has
added his gracious influences to crown this
labor of love, and is bringing scores, if not
hundreds in the congregation, to knowl-
edge of the truth as it is in Jesus.

A CALL TOACTION.

MEsSRs. EDITORS, / have had no char
ity for those men who are always talking
about the evils of intemperance, yet still
keep on drinking. They remind me of
certain class of men who are never reli-
gious except when they are drunk 1t is
time for the Christian church TO leave of
talking about the fearful cloud that hangs
over us, and begin to act. The world look
to them for an example, and the professor
can no longer send has jug to the Grocer,
unnoticed. The confirmed drunkard has
heard that Christians are talking, and he is
on the watch for some occasion to say,
there goes the Christians Jug This will
never do. The processing Christian must
either abandon the use of ardent spirits alto
gether, or go over to the side of the drunk
ard. Go to respectable grocer and ask
him to cease to sell ardent spirits-'O Sir,
says he, shall lose all my customers if
/ do that what will this and that profess
or do ? How can they relish their dinners
without their accustomed glass of brandy
And my friend the clergyman wants his jug
filled occasionally. 1t would be hard case
indeed if | cannot be allowed to sell lit
tie of the ardent to my minister
Now, [ hope no professor of religion
will ever open his mouth again upon the
subject, until he leaves off drinking. Let
him never again mourn over the desola-
ton of his country, and wonder that some
thing can't be done, while his closets are
stored with decanters and demihons of in
toxicating liquor. Satan cannot cast out
Satan.
Can there not be found twelve grocers
in this City, who will discontinue the sale
of ardent spirits ? And can there not be
found here twelve hundred men, who will
patronise them on that account =? Twelve
hundred mon, who will withdrawn their
custom from those grocers, who sell intox-
icating liquors, and bostow it upon those
who do not? Twelve hundred men, who
will leave off drinking, themselves, and
set an example worthy to be followed. n
Would not resolve be adopted, by eve-
ny church in this city, that the members
would cease to use intoxicating liquor. and
cease also to keep it in their houses? Let
the experiment be made. Messrs Editors,
confess am tired of so much talk upon
this subject, and hope the Christian world,
at least, will now beg to act. S. ID.

NEW CERTTFTcATEs,

DR.. MELLEN, Sir-the cause of humanity
demands of me to give the following state
ment: My wife had for six years been in
decline and pronounced by her Physicians to
be in consumptive state. and was attended
by n severe pain in her side, with Cough g.
difficulty of breathing. She was reduced so
low as to be unable to get from her bed to the
fire without aid. All hopes of her recovery
had long been given up. In this situation,
was prevailed upon, as last possible resort,
yet without any hopes of success, to make
use of" Anderson's Cough Drops" She COM
menced the use of them in February last and
after using two bottles, to the establishment of
all, in the month of May following the health
of my wife was entirely restored, and since
which, her health and strength were perhaps
never better. Feeling a deep interest that
the public in general may resort to the same
remedy, when their friends and relatives are
apparently. or evidently on the brink of the
grave, to rescue them from from the same.
You are at liberty to publish the above.

And do further certify that the wife Off
Nathan Huntington, living in the same place
was afflicted with very bad cough for num-
Der of years. and that in 1898 she was redu-
ced so low that it was thought she must soon
be in her grave, as she was scarcely able to
walk from her bed to the fire. when she COM
