tiirni tha&ks to our heavenly Father for
the favors he is daily bestowing upon
|us. Let us thank him for theblessings
of life, liberty, health apdstrfWth ;,arr
for all they knowledge ana wisdom
with which we are blessed For shea is
+tAs. fountain from which all blessings
flow, Let us thank him for the art O
printing, and theI blessed Il privilege
which we enjoy ofeonversing together
through the medium of a newspaper
f.Let us all help support our county
newspaper for, that unites us all to-
gether as members ofone family, which
we, in reality, are. slave we not one
father? Did not one God create us?"
saith the Bible. Therefore Jet every.
family, not only subscribe, but pay. in
advance for the county newspaper For
1.-The printer cannot furnish us with. a
paper withouttheMean and that must
come from his subscribers. And now,
as we are all chil ildfen of our Father
Gsd, and as take it for granted that
we all pray Thy kingdom come, and
tthy will be done in earth as it is in,hea-
lyen;nn let US inquire about his glorious
kingdom. which is of more value than
ali the kingdoms of this world beside.
Christ says, smy kingdom is not of this
world.nnt so we e,need not look for it in
the form of an earthly kingdom. So
let us inquire first, what is the king
dom of Heaven, or of God ? Secondly,
lwhere is its And thirdly, which is the
best way to get there? 1aae
| 1st. What is the kingdom of God !?
We will apply to theaapostle Paul for
an answer, for we consider him good
authority ; and he says, 1.-The kingdom
of God is notmeat and drink, but right
eousness, and. peace, and joy in the
Holy Ghost. This answer L think, is
very reasonable; so we will not seek
for; any other at this time.
I'd. Where is the kingdom of God !?
We will apply to our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ for an answer,to this ques-
question, and he says, .Neither shall
they say, Lo here or, Lo there /! for be-
hold the kingdom of God is within
you.Y And now as we have found out
by good authority what the kingdom
of God is, and whefe tits, let us inquire
thirdly, which is the best way to get
There? For we-pfeshme that I've all
desire to get there; and the Bible says,
'fA'Seek first the kingdom of God and his
fffghteonsaisssanasa all these tlihsskxin
be added unto you." That is, food
1elotAing &ca will be added unto. U.S.
\ And Christ says we must become as lit-
Il tie children in order to enter the king
ldom of God. SO we must first learn
Lour A. B. Cs.orfi first principles of life
for Christ ''came to bring life and inn
mortality to hight through the gospels
And he says l';cease to do evil and learn
4 dtosdo welE" And be temperate in ali
things" and s'abstain from all appear
lance of, eyilf',t Several years. ago
(when I wasEa younger.child than l am
now,) l read in newspaper about q
man wbeliFedI and dial in New York
and as I think gained some wisdom
| by what I read about him, which has
:. benefited ME, will relate 1t unto you
q hoping that some of the children who
! read it will also gain some wisdom by
it which will be beneficial to then
I through life. :. This man was called the
old philosopher; for he appeared toun.
derstand something of the philosophy
of life, for he lived to be one hundred
and five years old. He did not lay uE
J, treasures onearth where moth and rus
doth corrupt; but he laid UP treasur'
q in the heaven that was within him: h,
7 treasured up the principles. of right
eousness, truth and love in his owl
4~theart. He 1abored for his bread. for b.
: was saver of wood. He drank no in
y toxicating liquors; he used no tobacco
he drank no tea nor coffee, for he sait
}they poisoned the blood. He neve
4 slept on feather bed; he never wor
anything on his head heavier than
straw hat and never let five o'clocl
catch him in bed. And as I observed
that people who used those stimulatin.
. pOisons, slept on feathers and lay iii
bed late in the morning wer
afflicted with various kinds of dis
orders, such as headache, rheumatism
neuralgia, palsy &C., and as I be
. gan to be afflicted with some of thos
E disorders, I concluded that the habit G
. using such stimulants, as beverag
: waa sttended witha penalty, andhad tn
q appearance of evil. And as we ar
3 8 commanded to abstain from all appear
ance of evil, Il concluded to abstain fror
IS those habits. Therefore 1 have no
3 used any of these stimulants as a bey
s terage for twenty-five or thirty years
& And Ihave not been afflicted with an
s5 of the disorders above mentioned sine
Is left off the use of those articles, an
ss e endeavored to 1--we in obedience to tn
s5 laws of health in all things. So I fin
as by experience and observation, that
e e we wish to enter into the kingdom
50 God, we must cease to do eyl, and leal
S0 SS00 to do vel" we must refrain from a
50 habits which poison the blood and col
