Let us look 1T the manner in which
God has dealt with nations in the past,

Such course, il continued, will ruiz

we took more interest in holding meet
inrs, conventions, aud passing resolu-
tons, and having our names paraded in
the public journals, as President or
Secretary, Or Do chairman OF some COM
mittee, setting forth what ought to be
done, or what is proposed to be done,
than to go to work and do it in humble
manner and with a Christian spirit and
sincere desire to do good without parade
or show?
How isit with professors of Christi
anity in our own city, Can we not trace
one of the causes for the GOODNESS, the
want of real progress of Christianity in
our midst to the many Inconsistencies Of
which, as professors, we are guilty2 Do
wesnot act-as though there was nothing
practical in Christianity Are not some
of usin the habit of visiting the theatre,
or the ballroom, or the billiard, or the
bowling alley; or do not some of us en-
gage occasionally in a social game Of
cards; or do we not permit parlor dances,
just because the young folks must have
some arnusement; or, do not some of
us sell intoxicating liquors. or, do we
not fail to reverence the Holy Sabbath
day as God has commanded Ms Z If we
DO net engage in some or all of these
things ourselves, do we not permit our
families to engage in them, or, at least,
wink at them Now, all these things
are either right or they are wrong.
They are either in accordance with the
principles of Christianity or they are
not in accordance with them If they
are right, if they are innocent, all can
and should engage in them-even oul
pastors But if they are wrong, no one
who processes to know the Savior should
participate in them either directly Oh
indirectly re a5s ~

to this. We must be either ON the ONT

ing to the conclusion that If there were
less. professions, less dependence upor
public meetings and conventions, ant
more consistent walk and action on th,
part of protesting Christians, that Coz
would bless US more powerfully, ant
there would be more revivals. Gu
churches would be filed, and theatres
balls, billiards, and drinking saloon
would not be so prosperous. NJ

An effort was recently made, through
q meeting held in the Lecture Room Of
the Ninth Baptist church, Cincinnati,
Ohio, by the ministers and church off,
cials of the various Evangelical Churches,
for disseminating religious principles
among the masses. The following pre-
amble and resolutions were passed,
among the rest:
WHEREAS, The moral condition of
this city, manifested in the rapid In
crease of vice, and in the vide spread
Indifference and neglect toward religion,
is such as to awaken deep concern, in
every pious heart for the honor of the
cause of Christ, and for the salvation of
precious souls; therefore,
Resolped, That it is the. sense of this
meeting that the times imperatiYelyi RE-
quire that Christians of all denomina-
tions should make a simultaneous, con-
tinuous, and earnest effort in favor of
the cause of our Lord and Savior, and
for the salvation of our fellow men
Resolued, That with this view all the
ministers of this city and vicinity be re-
quested to preach to their members, es-
pecially on this subject On next Sab.
bath, November 10Th, and to organize
their members into committees Of suf
fcient numbers, whose duty it shall be-
to visit every house within at least two
squares on every side of their church. TO-
distribute tracts, to organize classes for
the sfudy of the ScriDtures whan nraio.
tieable, and to invite the people to at
tend the house of prayer, especially du.
ring the meetings herein provided for.
All this seems to be very good, and
no doubt just what ought to be done in
practice as well as in profession in cur
own good city. No person who takes
thought in regard to the state of morals
in our city but will be fully convinced
that religion is at very low ebb. Vice
and intemperance are daily growing in
power and influence. The billiard rooms;
theatres, ball rooms, and saloons, from
the lowest to the highest, are prospecting
as they never before have done. Some
plan should. be inaugurated to stay this
food of wickedness; and how can Il
be doneg Only by the Christian men
and women using their influence and
example against everything inconsistent
with their professions 20 ysat ,Ga,E1

Pankton recently, he went into the capi-

While there, memorial was introduced,
asking Congress for an appropriation for
a geological survey. One member, with
an eye to intrenchment, rose aud said
that "he didn't know as geological sur
yey was any better than compass sur
vey, and, as there was more land already
surveyed in the territory than would be
settled for many years, he moved that
the memorial be laid on the table," The
motion really found second, and the
