have gone home and reported that there
was no pity whatever in Jesus. After a
time, his disciples requested Jesus to
grant her request and send her away. Je-
sus did not reply to the woman, but in
her hearing, said to his disciples, 81 am
not sent bat unto the lost sheep of the
House of Israel" This was a second So
we're trial of her faith, and yet the woman
still renewed her prayer. She came and
worshipped Jesus, saying Lord help me-
In this womans case there could be found
most instructive lesson for ministers,
namely, that all departure from simplicity
was loss of power. The truths of the
Gospel should be presented with
simplicity and then their force
would be perceptibly felt. This wo-
mans importantly was remarkable, yet in
every instance she never criticised what
the Lord did, or found fault with him. She
only said Lord help me-" The third test
to which she was subjected was when Jesus
said ''It is not met to take the children's
bread and cast it to the dogs" This was
the final test, but still her importantly did
not flag, though she was placed in humi-
liating position; and her reply was, eyes,
Lord, but the dogs eat of the crumbs
which fall from their masters table. She
only asked for crumb, and if she was
ciassed as dog, she only asked a dogs
portion. The result was that Jesus said
unto her, 80 woman, great is thy faith /;
be it unto thee even as thou wilt"
The Reverend gentleman then applied
the subject to his hearers instruction, and
said that it was a postulate every way de-
fensible, that it was the prerogative of
faith to have things its own way.
Nevertheless, there was another thing to
be consi Tered, and that was that faith was
imposs bic to fiippsnt man. Before a
man could have his way with God, God
must have his way with the man; but new
ertheless faith was free, and God allowed
d large scope for liberty of thought and
freedom of action, if the heart was only
given to him.
At the conclusion of the services, DR..
Kelley announced that the Rev. DR.. Pierce
would preach tonight, and that the Sun
day-school Convention would be held on
Thursday morning at the Capitol.

wives, who in the meantime had been re-
infOrced. Men and women unitedly as
saulted the laborers, and stones were free

the width of thu extremities of the wings

WENDELL PHILLIPS.
Death and Destruction to the
South.

His Views of SOutherners, Carpet.
Baggers and Democrats.
NEW York, May 9.-Wendell Phillips
spoke on the Southern question in the
Labor Convention to-day. There is still,
he said, q state of war with the South.
Let CT II. Grant lay hand on the leaders in
the South, the men who count their acres
by thousands and are the instigators of
assassination, and you will never hear Ku-
Klux again. (Applause.) Let the Ku-
Klup of Carolina know that the President
is terribly in earnest and it will be an end
of outrages. In regard to the carpet
baggers, he said the South is ignorant, be-
sotted, poor and chilled by a departing
barbarism; yet they repel the Northerner
who goes down with the very thing they
want, brains and money, but the sly, cum
ming Northerner remains to squeeze po-
litical power out of those pitiful babies.
(Lsughter) If the North have to take
arms again, they will stop at no constitu-
tlonal destination or State lines to put the
South under the heel of military despOt-
ism. Referring to the official corruptions
of New York, he said the lessons of the
cowardly shylocks who dip their hands
into the paivate fortune of the city are
teaching men with bludgeons. Next time
the Bowery's boys may take it into their
heads not to hang negroes to lamp posts,
Tut indulge in millionaires.
A number of womea addressed the
convention.
