A Hill at the Preachers.

Mr.. MISUNDERSTANDING, as l do, that
the pulpit has great influence over the
minds OF most men, | am always
grieved when its teachings seem, to me
to be at variance with the teachings of
Christ. And am especially surprised
when l hear ministers of the Gospel
affirm that all our deeds of kindness
and love, selfsacrifce and christian
charity, shall avail us nothing at the
gate OF the Heavenly kingdom-that
faith, alone, is the passport. Surely,
Christ never taught such a passive
christianity. lie went about doing
good. Can any one, familiar with the
Scriptures, overlook the description of
the last judgment in the 18th chapter
OF Matthew: Then shall the King
say unto those on his right hand, Come
ye blessed of my Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world For, l was
an hungered, &c. Verify l say
unto you, inasmuch as We have done it
unto one OF the least OF these my breth.
rem, We have done it unto me- And
again, in the 10th chapter of Mark,
Christ says: "For, whatsoever shall
give you IA cup of water to drink in my
name, because ye belong to Christ,
verify l say unto you, he shall not lose
his reward BY these words Christ
plainly shows the right of those to his
kingdom who have succored the needy
and the distressed. James says
sPure and indebted religion, before
God and the Father is this To visit
the tatherless and widows in their at
Fiction, and to keep himself unspotted
from the world"
Jesus, when asked, Which is the
great commandment in the law? SAID:
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind but added,
"And the second is like unto it. Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as myself. On
these too commandments hang all the
law and the prophets And does not
the Bible tell us that tive shall be
judged according to the deeds done in
the body?'
1t has always seemed to me that
this doctrine of the utter fruitlessness
of good works is the great cause of the
lamentable difference between the pro-
fession and the practice of SO many
members of the churches. And do
ministers ever reflect how much they
may be responsible for this state of at
fairs, which they SO much regret
When church members hear from the
pulpit that, however much they may
do tor the cause of Christ and human
kind, it will profit them nothing in
future world, who shall wonder that
they weary of well doing, and, leaving
the world to its own devices, tall back
upon the faith which, they are told,
alone can save them? S. Z.

Number 90 of the REPUBLICAN for
1868 contained our Salutatory, OH be-
coming connected with the paper. 1t
was our first venture with newspaper
other than as occasional correspondent.
One year has measured it's round since
that time. We leave it with our pat
rons to say how well we have done,
and how well we have remembered the
promise Of our Salutatory, to make a
paper that should indicate, in 50 far as
We could make 1t, the thought and
transactions Of the county. In bust
ness point Of view, we have done as
well as could be reasonably expected.
Our advertising, subscription and Job
bing patronage have been steadily in
creasing. We enter upon new year
of experience here, fortified by the as.
surance that the people of the county
will generously respond, as they have
done heretofore, to any efforts of ours
in enhancing the intrinsic value of the
REPUBLICAN. We repeat assurances
that we shall abate no effort to make
the REPUBLICAN more valuable and
more worthy of support.

to locate it on the corner of Front and

Block. We are glad to see this i'm

line OF wooden structures, from State
street to Murdough' snew block, ought
to be removed and brick erected in its
place. a fire, once started in that row,
would soon sweep it all away. We
