etitbe, grows "'um,le," after the manner Of
Nr. Uriah Hep: for crooking the hinges OF his
knees, be expresses himself pousy as follows:
" We trust in God to keep us humble. aud gre US
"a spin, OF forbearance and kindness toSard
those Who ipjure ~" We say Amen" The
Rev Bird has evidently very high idea, If not
Of tie goodness at leas, Of the omDipctence OF the
Greater Meanwhile the HUMILITY not having ar
rived. the Bird continues 20 be slightly sbuave,
and still teldly 6gurative 10 ts speech We are
told that The Indiana american and TIE TRIBUNE
have "to the utmost of their bilious capacity, DIS
" charged the pent-up contents Of their gorsed
liyers" Excellent again We are getting
stronger and stronger All who do not see the
Ircprie'y Of supporting missions by selling mig
gers" are declared to be violent, bitter, selfish,
81 and in morbid, unb,abced, disordered state Of
- mind pouring out slime. gall and vinegar.
/" But let Us pray for our trsdncers and perse-
cutors" says The Obse-rtr. suddenly changing its
tone "ihat they may repent of their SIN and hnd
forgiveness, sud escape the doom OF all iIirs
(here the ferocity breaks out again, "who have
their part in the lake that burneth with fire aud
brims.ope." We Go not object to being msde
the theme Of good mems prayers, but II the Kew
erend Milton Bird will be kind enough not 10 pray
for US and if be will mention our wish to the other
members Of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church
We shall not only feel much obliged, but great
deal more comfortable.
TIE Rev. Milton Bird then proceeds to commu-
nicate to US the following information; Inc
Gospel wages no wsr on the external organ
" i'm Of society" All, indeed The Gospel
usges no war then against crime IN lts maalipId
fums-no war against coyetousuess and greed
no war against the selfish policy oftyrant' whether
crowned or mere whip-crackers and niger
drivers-uo war against brothels and gambling
bells a1d rog-shops-no war against inhdeil'y 70
marriage vows or the THEFT Of woman's chastity
DO war against that msn who, ca'ed IN legal
paporly, treads under foot the widow aud the
orphan--po war sganst the wOrld-n0 war against
the He.h-only war against the ridiculous unwl-
iugness Of sundry reprobate human beings TO Jclu
the Cumberland Presbyteri,n Church! And the
Rev Milton Bird thinks that in this opinion hs Is
sustained b. the Apostle Paul! We knox that It
i. u vain wish, but would that We could see the
Apostle TO the Gen,iles aud the Rev Milton Bird
fsce 10 face for few moments! We can fancy tue
Saint Of st. Louis opening bis pocket-testament
and airing & little text from Ephesians, another
small scrsp from Ctlossians, a third bit from limo
thy. and a morsel from Peter but no mortal mind
can conceive the terror of the rebuke which would
cause the Rev. Milton Bird to howl with repentsnt
,st tba nF m m
tain to cover him. The aud,ci'y of such men as be
is must be our apology for the introduction OF such
an illustration. Poor praters, t1ey know not OF
whst-cosrse, unenghtened gsbbers OF sublime
teachings very dear to the heart OF humanlty-pol-
lung with the unsayOry messes OF social shame aud
Gin the golden vessels of the altar-makng the
Fathers House a house Of merchandise and den
Of theves-tncoursgin mockery and confirming
disbelief-narrow without pity and Jealous with
out brains there nothing for it but to leave them
to the bitter laughter of the cync and the unspeak-
able pity of the wise. Grace msy indeed supply the
Deficiencies of the mere intellect while the heart
remains tender; but what grace can iescue him
whose heart grows hard as his head grows soft, and
WHO increases in selhshness as be decreases IN
Intelligence
The newspaper 10 which We have alluded sdyer-
tises several Cumberland Presbyterian Books, in
GLIDING The Doctrine Of Grace, by Milton Bird,
ID This work may be had for the small sum OF
81, by those who want ii, but we would not advise
any one unless his purse is exceedingly plethorlc,
to purchase it. We would rather recommend him,
if his mesns be limited, to try Sandiord's Liver
Invigorator." which is announced in the same
paper
