THE BAPTISTS IN KANSAS.

Regarding the Baptist denomination
in Kansas, there is reason for congratu-
lation. From the newncss of the State,
the numbers are small, but the energy
displayed by the brethren and the con-.
sequent rapid advance place them in the
foreground. There, as in Missouri, lit
tie or no attention has been given to the
statistics, and we cannot tell the mem:
bership of the churches. There are
about FIVE thousand Baptists-perhaps
more. The churches are generally new
and small, but are making great efforts,
and are putting up many houses of wor-
ship. They are generally able to give
their pastors only a partial support, con-
| sequently, the ministers usually supply
two or more churches, or engage, like
Paul, in some secular business part OF
the time. We hope that, in their coIn-
mercial ventures, having begun with
| Paul, they will end with Demas. 1t Is
u dangerous thing to let these poor
preachers find out that they can make
money just as we'll as other men, and
that if they SO determine, they can have
large houses and ride ia fine carriages,
and give their children start in the
world as well as any of their brethren.
| We think it better for a church to give
its pastor such support that he will
not have to engage in any secular avo-.
cation; for, if his tent-making should
bring in the money pretty fast, he will
| be subjected to SO strong q temptation
to continue in it that they may not get
him back to his preaching. A minister
should not go to Kansas to find a COM,
Portable easy life. There are plenty of
fields of iabOr-there are new towns
spriHging up on every hand-but as yet
the churches are weak. An unmarried
man may derive a support from tile
| start, but a man with family must re-
ceive aid from some missionary society
or engage part of the time IN secular
pursuit. But let a good man take hold
| of one of these feeble churches, and 1t
may be but the second or third year be-
fore they can give him full support !;
and he may find it i'll the end to have
been all advantage, even in q pecuniary
! way, that he settled with them.
When the convention came to close
its session, we felt as though we wanted
TO shake our Kansas brethren by the
hand. We had pleasant meeting, and
none knew whether we should ever
meet again on earth. We recalled the
good old Missouri fashion of the right
hand Of fellowship at the close of the
Association Meetings, and proposed
that as we sang, "Biest be the tie that
binds" each should give the right hand
of fellowship to the Moderator and 9TH
err brethren. 1t was done; and the
trembling voices and starting tears
showed the depth of feeling. "Oh, it
was grand" said an Eastern brother. to
whom the custom was an unfamiliar
one; and thus, with brotheFly greet
ing and a united prayer to God, the
convention Central Bop
list. No.

KEEP TO THE RIGHT.-An exchange
raises the question as to what is proper
in meeting ladies on the sidewalk.
Should they be given the inside or the
right side If the desire Is to enable
ladies to get along without being jos
tied, bid them to take the right. This
everybody should do, and there will be
no collisions, no deiayssno inconveni-
ence. Now and then a lady may be
seen making her way along a crowded
sidewalk, j6stled by everybody, her APP
parel disarranged. and then she wonders
why people viii be so rude. The poor
woman did not know the fault was all
her own-that she was persistently en-
deavoring to take the left side of the
walk against the current of humanity
setting down that side: No better evil
dence of yerdancy in man or woman
can be wanted than the fact that they
turn TO the left in meeting people on the
streets. The law Of the highway Is as
applicable TO the sidewalk as the
roadway. The consequences Of depart
ure from this rule may not be quite 90
dangerous to life and limb when The
pedestrian takes the left - when the
driver does, but the practice is scarcely
less provoking. Turn to the right al
ways and everywhere on meeting

THE SENSATION OF DRowNING.-A
sailor named George Forbes was lost

feeling he experienced on the OCCASION.
We quote the account from the Detroit
Free Press:

cramp caught me all over, and l could
not go another stroke. felt like a lump
of lead. My head began to spin round.

choked me, and my eyes closed as if a
weight had hung on my lids. i began
to drown-I felt; then came q feeling
something like a red-hot poker being
drawn through my brain. Ny head felt
like fire. A humming, roaring noise
went through my ears, and my body felt
as light as a feather. The waves car

came into my mouth and face, but
never tried to keep my head up; ]
wouldn't have moved my finger to have
| been aboard the scow. It grew darker
and darker; the old fire feeling came
through my head again. Something
clutched me by the leg and drew me
down. / rocked to and fro, felt a noise

dropped to sleep.

MORAL MEpICINE.-Druggery Is not
the only physic. There are means of
curing and averting sickness quite as eff
ficient as any pill or potion ever sold
over the apothecary's counter. The
medicine of the mind is as powerful for
life and death as the dash of the light
ming, or the bullet or the carbinc. The
thunderbolt kills instantly; so many a
mental emotion. There are slow poi
sons that eat out the life by pieccmeal
in the agonics of years and many an
unrcvealed sorrow has there been, to
waste away its victim III the tedious
progress OF weary weeks and months OF
grief.
There is no stimulant more full OF
health than hearty laugh. There is no
tonic in all creation which gives such
perennial vigor as that of conscience
void of offense toward God and man
Better than any balm of ancient GiIead
are the reflections of well-spent life
of conscious integrity of purpose
pervading every business transaction
from early joyous youth to a genial ole

The Usage Treaty, which coded some
100000 acres to various railroad COM

about thirty by four hundred miles, is
still with the Indians, though doubtless

Death borders upon our birth, and our

The writers against religion whilst

The little and short sayings of wise

the dust of gold, or the least spark OF
