But what struck him, he said, in after
life. when he called it to mind, as quite
comical, was the quiet, easy, noachalant
way in which he and his brethren de-
cided doctrinal questions of the highest
moment, and cut off, at single blow,
all hope of salvation for that large part
of the human race who never heard OF
the Messiah and his Gospel, and with
what unconcern they turned away tC
their several homes afterwards. He
said that it took far less time for them Il

than it ordinarily takes in one of on
police courts to try and sentence a gro!

WIND AND SEA.
BY BAYALD TAYLOR

The sea is n joyial comrade,
lie laughs wherever he goes
His merriment shines in The dimpling lines
That wrinkle his hale rePose;
He lays him down at the feet Of the Sun,
And shakes ali over with gee,
And the broad backed pillows fall faint on th
shore
In the mist Of the mighty Sea.
But the wind is sad and restless,
HuI cursed with an inward PAIN
You may bark as you will, by valley or hill,
But you hear him still complain.
lie walls on the barren mountains,
And shrieks on the wintry sea!
lie sobs in the cedar, and means in the pines,
And shudders all over the aspen treel
Welcome are both their voices,
And know not which is best
The laughter that slips from the oceans lips,
Or the comiortless winds unrest.
There's pang in all rejoicing,
A joy in the heart Of pain,
And the wind that saddeus, the sea that gladden.

Few, probably, are aware how extern
awe n business is done in this country,
in the manufacture of creed5. Each
congregational church, being independ
ent, and having the same right to shape
its own articles of faith that it has to
shape its own church, generally prefers
to be the architect of its own creed
The minister of the parish, the deacOns,
and perhaps one or two others get togeth-
er and determine the whole thing
what the Scriptures teach, and what TIE
neighborhood ought to believe, and what
they must believe, if they desire to
worship in that parish and proceed to
declare and fix the character and future
destiny of the human race generally.
The creed thus made generally stands
until those who made it have passed
away ; for there is nothing so abhorrent
TO the old school religionists as to be
thought to have ever changed religion,
opinion, or that there was ever any space
for growth in wisdom in that direction
any way. An incoming minister, will
some new deacons, can, oitentimes, sue
coed in introducing modernisms into tn,
creed but it is generally done yer,
quietly, and without exciting the suspi
cons Of the elder members.
Theology is centuries and centurie
behind all the other sciences and we
it may be, for in everything else, school
are founded TO learn, but in theology n
such thing is thought Of The only pun
pose of theological institutions is t
maintain the dogmas OF the founders
in other institutions it is taken for gram
ed that the science is in its infancy, an
new questions are started to be invest
gated, and il true, adopted; but in tn,
ology new theories and questions are {
be combated and demolished. 1t is sal
that ut Andover the professors, once i
five years, either have to make oat
that their opinions on doctrinal poin
remain unchanged, or be dismissed
Churches, too, with creeds, have nothin
to do with growth in knowledge, onl
growth in grace. They declare 10 the
creed what the whole council of God
and all the ministers, and ediices an
churches are instituted for is only to 9
the benefit Of their fore-knowledge.
church member has no right to grow an
wiser, only to grow better, Ic he grow
wiser, or less wise, or grows any way,

A friend of mine gave me an accou
Of the remodelling of the creed of Il
village church of which he was once
member. The aged minister of Il
parish had passed away, and a your
man reigued in his stead. The new i

many respects not to his mind. I

~ The following Poem wac read at the cen
seminal anniversary Of the birth day Of BooeI
Burns, at Boston. It is from the pen Of ID
Burn. Of America--JoHN G. WHITTIER.
How sweetly come the holy psalms
From saints and martyrs down,
Tho waving OF triumphal palms
Above the thoruy crownl
The choral praise, the chants aud prayers
From harps by angels strung,
The hunted Cameyou's mountain airs,
The hymns that Luther sung.
Yet, iarriug not the heavenly notes,
The sounds Of esrth are heard,
A. through the open minister hoata
The song Of breeze and birdl
Not less the wonder Of the sky
That daisics bloom bellows
The brook sings on, though loud and high
The cloudy organs blow.
And, II the tender ear be iTrred
That haply hears by turns
The sanity harp of Olney's bard,
The pastoral pipe Of Burns,
No dscord mars His perfect plan
Who gave them both tongnei
for he who sings the love Of man,
The love of God hath sung!
To,day be every fault forgiven
OF him IN whom we joy;
We take with thanks the gold Of hesyen'
And leave the earth's alloy.
Be ours his music as Of spring,
His sweetness as Of flowers,
The song, the bard himself might sing
in boiler ears than ours.
Sweet airs Of love and home, The hun
or faucy's laden bees,
Come singing, MS the robins come,
To sing 81 dooryard trees,
Aud heart 10 heart, two nations lean,
40 rival wreaths 10 Irvine,
But, blending in eternal green,
The holly and the pine!

A MAN WITHOUT JOINTS.

A most remarkable instance Of the
ossifcation of all the joints in the body
of a man, has come to our knowledge
within a few days. Valentine Perkins,
of Mantua, Portage County, Ohio, is
the person who has been thus singular
ly afflicted. He resides with his moth
er, Mrs. Mary Alvord. He was born
in Henrietta, Ontario County, n. Y, in
March, 1913, and is consequently for
ty-fve years of age,
With exception of an imperfect mo-
ton of the right shoulder, one joint of
the two first fingers of his right hand,
and limited motion of one or two toes,
every joint in his body is completely
ossifed, and as firm and immovable as
if one bone constituted his whole frame.
Until he was eleven years old he en-
joyed robust health. At that time the
family had removed to Kirkland, Lake
county, in this State. In June of the
year he was eleven, he thrown from {
horse and hurt one knee, and then goin.
into the river to battle, he took cold il
the injured part, inflammation ensued
and the cartilages and ligaments wer
destroyed, and ossifcation took place.
After this had transpired the uninjure,
knee was attacked with inflammation
and finally became completely ossifet
Then joint after joint passed throug
the ordeal, until now he is in the cond
ton mentioned.
The same disease commenced at til
roots Of his finger and toe nails. TIL
nails came off, and new substance II
sembling nails grew out at right angle
from his fingers and toes, full half a
inch
. His Jaws have been set and motion
II less for thirty years, and his front teet
Is have loosened and come out, formir
10 an aperture through which he talks an

10 pared for him in a suitable manner, al
