Ohio state sabbath school union.

A friend who attended the recent State
Sabbath School Convention, has fur
nished US with tho following report Of Its
dolhgs:
A Convention of this organization was
held in Aenia on 18th and 18th ult., in
the Trinity NJ. Il. Church. This is ~
new church and model building, large
aud comfortable in all its arrangements.
This large building was too small to ac-
commodate the delegates on the second
day. The reports OF the Secretary show
ed that good work has been done dur
ing the year. Sixty-six counties have
been organized; 63 counties sent full re-
ports for 1868, showing 9, ,582 schools, with
230, ASS scholars, having 20,347 officers
and teachers. These schools have 1885,
O22 volume in their libraries, and their
collections amount TO S74, ,007 81.
The work of County and Township
organization-How can the teaching of
Sabbath schools be made more effective?
What Is the true place and value OF
Teachers Institutes and Normal Exer-
cises?-H0w can our scholars be trained
TO regular habltsof attending the services
OF the church ?-Conduct and manage
ment of sabbath SCHOOLS, &c., were
some of the topics considered by the Con-
vention. The following resolutions were

practicable.
Resotved, That the greatest possible
care should he taken In the selection of
Sabbath School libraries. Books only
which tend to expand, ennoble, and
purify the mind, should be placed in the
hands of our children.
Resotped, That as knowledge of
Gods word must ever lie ut the founda-
ton of intelligent piety and Christian
activity, we hold that no one is too old
to engage in the systematic study of the
Bible in the Sabbath School.
ResotUcd, That as the great end of
Sabbath School instruction IL the con-
version of the soul to God care should
be taken in the appointment of teachers
TO select persons of earnest piety, ardent
zeal, and aptness to teach.
Resoiped, That the absence of so large.
a proportion of the scholars of our Sab
bath Schools, from the regular services
of public worship, is an evil of immense
magnitude, and we hereby earnestly in
woke the hearty cooperation Of all Christ
ian parents with the officers and teach
ers of our Sabbath Schools in an effort
to devise and apply the proper remedy.
. Resolved, That it Is the opinion of the
Convention that Teachers Institutes are
well calculated to increase the power and
efficiency of Sabbath School teachers,
and we recommend their use throughout
the State.
ResotUed, That while we entertain
growing conviction of the importance
and efficiency of the Sabbath School, as
means of religious instruction, we do,
nevertheless, recognize the responsible
ty of the parent, as primary and para
mount to all others-as an obligation,
which cannot be transferred to teacher
or parent and we call upon Christian
parents throughout our State to devote
more time and attention to the home
religious culture of their children.
The reception of a large delegation
from Indiana on Wednesday, of which
number were Friends" was very in
teresting. In Indiana the Friends have
some eighty first day schools" A very
interesting telegram was received from
the Illinois State Union, in session at
Decatur, stating that they had adopted
the Ohio plan and had $4,000 pledged to
pay the expenses of organizing every
County in that State. Other States are
doing the same. The services .of Prof.
Tuckerman were secured for another
year, to continue the work of County
organization. Ii is expected that every
County in the State will be organized
before the close of the year. Three thou
sand five hundred dollars were pledged
In the Convention to pay the expense of
this work. All reports showed an in
creasing interest in Sabbath Schools.

WHO ARE ENTITLKD TO LIBERTY

WHO ARE ENTITLED TO LIBERTY.
The st. Clairsville Gazette in its last
issue says: "Liberty is boon set before
mankind as prize to be run for, and can
be attained only by the intelligent, vir-
tuous, and brave; and to such only can
it be a blessing"
This il the contracted definition of
Liberty, as held by the creed of Pro-
Slavery Democracy. True Democracy
has always held that liberty was the
right,-tbe natural right--of every man
born into the world, and that, wherever
the people were deprived of it by any
form of government, such form of gov
ernment was not democratic.
The people of the United Colonies,
in their. Declaration of independence,
written by Thomas Jefferson, whom
these modern Democrats claim was the
founder Of their party, said GAN men
are created equal that they are endow-
ed by their creator with certain inalien-
able rights; that among these are life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness -
That to secure these rights, governments
are Instituted among men, deriving their
Just powers from the consent Of the gov-
ernc,l."
Here liberty is held to be the gift OF
God to all his creatures, that no earthly
power has right to take from him, and
that governments are instituted merely
to secure these rights. According to the
new-fangled notion of the new-fangled
Democracy, liberty is not right at all
but prize to be gambled for, and to be
attained and enjoyed only by the intel
ligent. The misfortunes of birth or in
evitable circumstances that keep men in
poverty and ignorance are considered
crimes that destroy all their God-given
rights.

exguisitely wrought c!lain, Il brooch
and charWs. The brooch is of gold,
beautifully wrought into gauntlet,
and set with pearls.
One o! the charms, as n correspond.

costly diamonds. Accompanying this
magnificent gilt was an autograph let

in the battle OF the 10Th OF septembcr,

Miss Wright was young Quakercss,
wei! known for her faith in the united
nationality, and understood to be will
ing 20 aid the cause ut any sacrifice.
When General Sheridan was in great
doubt how to act he sent scout to the
lady. who, writing upon slipo Of paper
which she inclosed in tinfoil, directed
