Sabbath School is the nursery O

Of doing much temporal as well as

some means devised to prompt the
older persons of the neighborhoot

We think if the preachers Of the

on Sabbath morning and visit the
schools at their respective appoint
ments and give a few scripturaI
questions, the schools might be
kept alive during the winter, and be
much more vigorous in the Spring

under the name Of Janus-has been
published in Germany, against the
doctrine Of papal infallibility, de-
claring that this would "cripple all
intellectual movement and scien.
tiic activity in the Catholic Church
and build up a new wall of partition,
and that the strongest and most i'm
pcnetrable of ALL between that
| Church and the religious communi-
ties separated from her"
1t is possible that the Council
will heed such admonitions, and
moderate its own decisions: but it
is more likely to rush eagerly, with
the fervor Of new enthusiasm, in
to the extreme positions of the
PontiG. In that case, nothing
would remain to the writers Just in
dicated but to secede, and try to
realize their own dream of a free
Catholic Church. Then. too, the
civilized world, and democratic
peoples, in particular, will know
defuityely where the Roman hier-
archv intends to stand in relation
to all that renders modern society
a privilege and modern civilization
power for humanity.
As a representative of liberal
Catholicism, Janus maintains that
so far as the principles of political,
intellectual, and religious freedom
and independence Of judgement are
derived from the letter and spirit
of the Gospel, the Catholic Church
ought to he in positive accord with
them; and insists that ga great and
searching reformation the Church
is necessary and inevitable, howev-
er long it may be cvaded." 1t is
not likely, however, that the pres
ent Council will directly further
either Of these objects. The Liber-
ais may be thankful if they and
their principles escape a formal
condemnation.

Cheap Pleasures.


Did you ever study the ohoap-

writer. Do you know how little il
takes to make a multitude happyY
Such triaes as a penny, a word or
a smile do the work. There are
two or three boys passing along
give them each chestnut, and how
smiling they lookl they will not be
cross for some time. A poor wild
ow lives in the neighborhood, whe

dren Send them a half a peck OF
sweet apples, and they will all be
happy. A child has lost his arrow
the world to him-and he mourns
sadly; help him to find it or make
him another, and how quickly the
sunshine comes over the sober
face A boy has as much as he
can do to pile up a load Of wood;
assist him a few moments, or speak
a pleasant word to him, and he for
gets his toll, and works away with
out minding it. Your apprentice
has broken mug, or cut the vest
too large, or slightly injured apiece
Of work Say "you scoundrel, "
and he feels miserable but remark,
Il am sorry" and he will try to do
better, You employ a man, pay
him cheerfully, and speak pleas
ant word to him, and he leaves
your house with a contented heart,
to light up his own hearth with
smiles and gladness. AS you pass
along the street, you meet famil-
lar face; say "Good morning" as
though you felt happy, and it will
work admirably in the heart of your
neighbor. Pleasure is cheap. Who
will not bestow it literally? If
there are smiles, sunshine, and flow
ers all about US, let us not grasp
them with a miser's fist, and lock
them up in our hearts. No; rather
let us take them and scatter them
about US, in the cot Of the widow,
among the group Of children in the
crowded mart, where men of busi-
ness congrcgate, in our families, and
everywhere. We can make the
wretched happy, the discontented
cheerful, the afflicted resigned, at
an exceedingly cheap rate. Who
will refuse to do it?
