Do Coon. There is hanging on the wall
Of a shepherd cottage. near the ruins Of an
Old castle in North Wales, a card on which
isprinted in large letters, these lines;
For Jesus Christ's sake
DO all the good you can,
To all the people you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
And as long as you can.
Very simple words, but they lay out work
for a Christian lifetime.

TheSouthern work of the e. Church,
as developed since the overthrow Of the re.
beliion, has brought up several important
yQnestious of pohcy, which will ceus ba5bre
ttAe General Conference next yeaf for FINAL
settlement. The FIRST is, the relation which
shsy afe 10 sustain 70 Southern Methcdism.
On this point the present indicsAious sre that
there will be 40 mutual co-operations-hl
movements in the direction Of concert be
1Neen the two bodies have been disastrous.
Peaceable Interference will be the prsc>
teal rule for the present
g The second question relates to the church
property in the South, most of which stands
ON its title deeds in the name Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church in the United States.
During the war, Northern Methodist minis
] tiers occupied those churches under military
authority but, on the return Of peace, lett
the houses to be disposed of at the pleasure
OF the local congregations to whom they be-
longed. The hardest cases are where the
Southern church authorities avail themselves
Of title deeds to which they have no claim,
TO rob the poor blacks of the simple struc
lures which their own scanty savings had
paid for, but which, on account OF the tyran>
ny Of the slave laws, were held by white trus-
tees.
A still more trying question relates to the
cCCttslaStlChl stdiiuiuk VI Tie NuuieEcucc6 VI
negroes organized by the late General Con.
ferences. The Central Adrocdte, of ST. Louis,
maintains that these conferences are emit
tied to elect delegates to the General Confer
ence, to receive dividends from the Book
Concern and Chartered Fund, and 10 vote on
any constitutional changes"
The New York Advocate, on the other
hand, claims that these were expressly or
gained as Emission" conferences, the pecu-
liarity OF which is that they may not send
delegates to the General Conference. And
DR.. Curry, who supported this policy in the
General Conference, now says that "three
years experience has not changed the views
we then entertained The conferences
formed In pursuance of that action have been
eminently successful, realizing the highest
hopes entertained at the beginning. No
doubt the next General Conference will re-
move the disabilities nov resting upon them,
and give them, as well as all TIE mission con
ferences organized by the bishops on South
ern territory, their full standing In relation to

LIvELY.-Satrday was busy day
with our wheat buyers and merchants
generally. From early morning until late
IN the afternoon, teams. principally load
ed with wheat, came into town, giving
the business streets metropolitan APP
pearance. We took pains to ascertain
the number of bushels of wheat bought
by our grain dealers, ana found as the
result of our inquiries the handsome
amount Of II, 900 bushels The price
paid during the day ranged from 81, rs
TO l.S0, per bushel. and consequently
nearly $4,000 was paid out to the farm
ers for this one article of cereal product.
No better wheat is raised anywhere in
the State than in Manitowoc County,
and but few can equal it. The average
weight of this years crop is estimated
at 63 pounds to the bushel.

The apparatus consists of. large bags of
