GREAT INTENTIONAL STovE HEAT
Ed BY WATER--It has long been pre-
dicted by scientific men, tnat o cheap
mode Of rendering water back to its
gases, would one day be dis
covered, and the notorious Payne fer
a long time kept public expectation on
tip toe with his PRETENDED invention Of
q light from water gas. But the Troy
Times notices that Mr.. w. Hsgan, q
druggist of that city, has recently in
vented o new kind of stove, which is
destined to effect perfect revolution
in domestic economy; and to produce
results which our forefathers little
dreamed of. The Timse is highly
respectable journal, and would not
knowingly sell the pubic, althoug b its
conductors might Of course be deceived.
The Times says:
"Mr. Hagan, who is a practical
chemist, and has been the successful
author Of one or two important in
ventions, turned his attention to tho
subject some months since, and after
various trials and disappointments at
last produced the great object of his
ambition. The stove is reality. He
has had it 10 operation, off and on, for
several weeks past, and has produced
results with it sufficient to justify him
III proc.a,ming to the world the treas
ure he has discovered. .. -a.
elf the principle which Mr.. Hagan
claims to have established should
prove to be true, it will affect steam
engines also, and ships and railroad
trains may be run Without carrying
ton of coal. Il will be the most valu-
able discovery Of the age, equa'l:ng
the telegraph or the steam engine in
the benefits it will confer on mankind.
We hope Mr.. H. has attained the object
of his studies, and that all-and more
than he claims for his invention will
be realized from its practical work
ings." .-..r.. ...r
s1A few years ago Henry Ward
Becchcr was vigorously denounced for
inviting members of churches, not in
strict fellowship with his own, to the
communion. Instead of needing the
rebukes so freely administered to him,
he now goes still further, and invites
every body who has faith in Christ and
desires to live by his faith, as will be
seen by the following paragraph from
the close of his New Years sermon :
"Christian brethren, in the spirit Of
this confidence We are going to sit down,
on this first Sabbath of the year, to
the table that commentaries the death
and love of Christ. invite all that
are present who know themselves to be
sinful who believe themselves to be
cured from the love of Sin by the grace
ard mercy of God who can heartily
take Christ to be their priest, their
prophet, and their king; and who do
desire to live by faith in him-I invite
all such, whether they be Protestant or
Catholic, whether their lot may have
been cast in one denominatio nal chu' oh
or another, or whether they are IN the
church or out Of it, to partake of these
emblems with US. p,
The ground of invitation is heart
communion with God through Jesus
Chlist. And when you come, remem
Der those that cannot come. In camps
and in foreign lands are scores that
would fain be here to-day, and that
will thiLk CT the first Sabbath Of JAM
aary that they have spent with US in
many year that is gone. ct US le-
member all our own households, all
the fellowship and brotherhood that
belongs TO US, and all of Coils chill
dren on the earth. Let us come re-
joic,Dg in Christ, and praying for
chem and for GU selves with one COM
mon feeling Ct faith AMI trust"
