MOrrisaye. One OF the young men observed guitar be-
hind the counter, and asked the proprietor to allow
other Of his party to play upon it, The proprietor refused
the request the ground that IL then too late but
young TabOX reached his hand the counter for the
purpose OF helping himself to the guitar, and, in doing
so, broke two tumbers. The landlord at once demanded
payment for the tumbers, which was promptly handed
TO HepgeT. At the time OF this occurrence. there
were three Germans IN the saloon, playing
cards. and OF them came forward and said to TarbOX
"What are you doing here" and Why did you atemptto
take the guitar" and almost at the same moment made
rush against young TarbOx and forced him into corner
OF the room, where scufe ensued, and In which the
four young and the Germans took part the friends
of TarbOX attempting TO rescue him. and all the Germans
resisting them. While the struggle was progressing,

TRE FORGIVENESS OF .sLNS.

THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS
Gods purpose in the Gospel is to give to man
the knowledge of salvation, even the forgiveness
OF his sins. Thou shalt call His name jesus
for He shall save His people from their sins
from the guilt and punishment of their sins, the
loss Of the soul. How many say II believe in
the forgiveness of sinsr' Dear friends, the
mere belief in the doctrine will never give peace
10 the sin-burdened conscience; it is like the
poor man who believes that there is gold enough
in the bank to make him rich, or like the hun
gIy man who is conscious that there is food
enough to satisfy his hunger; but both are in
want so long as they have not money or food.
Some, when conscience is alarmed on account
of sin, try to work for salvaton they turn from
outward acts of sin, have recourse to the out
ward forms of religion, join, it may be, COM
munity of Christians are Jealous in every good
work, and all is well to the eye of man-but
there is no settled peace within.
Others there are who are well aware that the
blood of Christ cleanseth from all sin, and that
without that awful scene on Calvary's top there
could have been no remission of sins. They are
convinced that all for whom Christ died will be
saved, yet they ask 'Did he die for me? is my
name in the Lambs book of life?" They have
not the assurance of pardon-the earnest of
eternal life
Now, no man, be he surrounded with every
earthly blessing, can be happy for any length of
time without wel-grounded hope that not only
there is forgiveness with God, but that his
own sins are forgiven.
To the anxious and inquiring l say, between
bbe Saviour and the sinner the connecting link
je faith, for without faith we cannot 'lay hold
on eternal life" Not that faith saves the soul.
Mol Christ only must save; but faith brings
peace. 1t is an act of the soul, whereby it is
enabled to appropriate Christ's merits and right
eousness to itself. Thus the believer, though
be cannot look into the Lambs book of life for
bis name, yet is enabled to sing
"Jesus, my great High Priest,
offered His blood and died;
Ny guilty conscience seeks
No sacrifice beside;
HIS powerful blood did once atonci
And now IL pleads before the throne

The LUtherdH ObscrUcr says:-The position
of the first Professorship in Thiel College has
been accepted by Rev. H.W. Roth, of Pittsburg.
He will act, for the present, as executive OF the
Institution.
AT and near Braudonvlle West Va, several
new Lutheran meeting-houses are about to be
built.
Difficulty is experienced in filing. the

The oldest Luthern minister in the country
is said to be Father W. Weendsen, who is now in
his nineteth year, for sixty years he has been de-
voted to the work of the ministry.
The Southern General Synod of the Luthe-
ran Church reports 1l6 members, 1874 congrega.
tions, and 1890 communicates, distributed
in North and South Carolina, Virginia, and
Tennessee.
CATHOLIC.
A Roman Catholic priest OF st. Louis thus
announces the purpose of that sect to prosecute
q missionary work among the negroes. He Us
right in his declaration of the need of the negro
race. 1t is not different from that of the white
race-moral culture:-
''Only the Catholic Church can control the
fiery passions of the negro, With them to be
a Methodist or a Baptist requires little else
than a knowledge of the chants used in the
service of these sects. There is scarcely
colored bawd in the city who is not member
of one or other of these sects. What they need
prayer, or the singing of stupid hymns. They
must be taught the principles of religion; they
must be taken by the hand and led on the way
to Heaven. And this instruction aud guidance
they prefer to receive from a white person,
owing to the knowledge they have of the supe-
riority of the white race in education. There is
no need of our supplying them with colored
priests if the white ones already among them
have the zeal to devote themselves actively and
absolutely to the cause in which the venerable
Brackmens labored so successfully"
in Lexington, KY, in response TO an appli-
cation from priest for $500, to aid in the sup
port of Catholic school in that city, the city
council has Just voted the appropriation.
THE DUNKARDs
The Missouri Dunkards have just been hold
ing their annual meetings. They have no church
buildings of their own, but preach in other
churches or in sheds and barns-in Short wher-
ever they can get a chance. They have no or
dained preachers, baptze by immersion, face
foremost and maintain religious ceremo-
nial feet-washing, the men washing the feet of
the women and the women of the men. The
sacrament follows a feast of bread and lamb
soup. In dress and daily habit the Dunkards
cultivate severe simplicity, and their honesty
and integrity are said to be proverbial.
FRIENDS.
The report of the yearly meeting of the So
ciety of Friends shows 1900 members in New
England among whom there have been during
the year "a births, 70 deaths, and 80 admissions.
