READING THE SCRIPTURES.

A writer in the Southern Baptist complains that
his preacher takes up all the time of Church SER
vice with preaching and praying and singing, and
scarcely ever reads the Scriptures to his congrega
ton. Whercupon the editor of the Baptist coin
cidcs, and says he would rather hear twenty chap
ters of Job read than all the preaching such q
preacher is capable of. Both Of them are right.
Reading the scriptures is better than listening to
the best of preachers; and when it comes to your
rantng, scolding, bigotted oEes they would do the
best possible thing within their reachs swhethcr for
their own regulations or the good of their hocks,
by reading scriptural selections altogether.
MIR. TOGNO AND WINE-TEMPERANCE.
Our new (and very welcome) correspondent is
laboring under a misapprehcnson in supposng
that we either wrote or fully endorsed the piece
in our paper which has called forth Ills animadver-
sion. It was a selection to suit some of our good
temperance friends, and not necessarily concurred
in by us. Our views, in fact, coincide precisely
with Mr.. ToaEos; and We are free to say that we
regard "Wine- Temperance" the best species of
reform that can be instituted in view of the awful
drunkenness that prevails in many American COM
munites But the wine alluded to in our selection
was the drugged stuff that kills, not the pure juice
of the grape which exhilcrates without endanger-
ing the life Of man.
We hope Mr.. ToGNo is getting on well with bis
Monteyino vineyard, and that it will be as "city
set upon hll" spreading its influences around
and showing others how to do. Mr.. Axr, of
Georgia, AYERS that we have the very best latitude
and soil for the grape that can be found. Mr..
ToGSo. we believe, thinks so too. Both these gen.
tlcrnen are proving their faith by their works.
We wish them complete success. If the man, who
makes two blades of grass grow where only one
grew before, is public benefactor, how much
greater is he who raises vineyards where before
there was nothing but whiskey jug2 One Vine
grower, for any purpose of efficient reform, is
worth ten temperance lecturers
