A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
The Rector of St. James on the first Sun
day in each monih-being communion
Sunday-has evening service at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon, at the close Of which the
regular monthly missionary meeting ofthe
Parish Missionary Society is held; at
which meeting extracts are read from the
domestic and foreign missionary journals,
by some of the children of the S. School,
appointed by the Rector, with short ad-
members of the church, interspersed with
the singing of some of those grand old Mis-
sionary hymns. The addresses delivered
on Sunday last by Miss Underhill and Mrs.
Nettie Butler, were eminently practical,
and evidenced great care in the prepare
ton and adaptation to both old and young,
of every sentence of which they were COM
posed. The address of l. B. Morris, ESQ.,,
was also earnest and appropriate the
speaker introducing himself, remarked that
it would no doubt astonish his friends that
were present, and also those who were alb
sent, to hear and see him engaged in that
| important work, and he wished to tell them
that it astonished himself more than it
possibly could astonish any one else to
use the speakers words II have been
forced into this work contrary to my feel
ings, for which am now thankful" The
speaker showed the little ones how much
they could, and had in fact already accom-
plished by their little pennies, and urged
both old and young to persevere in the
good work. At the close of his address he
said he could not allow the opportunity to
pass, as he was about to leave the city for
time at least, without saying word
about our dear pastor, who had caught him
and convinced him in the face of all his
prejudices that there was reality In the
religion and church of Christ a power,
who would remove every barrier. He paid
a glowing tribute to the ability, energy
and zeal of our rector and said with such
devotion to his work, and such active
helpers, it was impossible not to succeed.
The Rector made few closing remarks in
which he showed from reports of the Wo-
mans Missionary Societies of New York
and Boston, that nearly 100000 had been
raised and disbursed for missionary pur-
poses within year. Avowed himself a
womans rights man, and said he was glad
to be able to say that at the next meeting
of convocation he expected to take with
him two lady delegates. After the appoint
ment of speakers for the next meeting and
the singing ola hymn, the congregation
was dismissed with the benediction by the
Rector.

THE Oskaloosa Herald has got us mixed up

Does our paper resemble the New York daily oil
that name? Or perhaps the Herald was thinking
of the Victor Sun"
The brightness of your new face, and
the scintillations of wit, humor and COM
mon sense flashing from your columns,
dimmed our vision, and we gave you the
name of San, but we have got it all straight
now, and pronounce you the neatest

THE CITY ELECTIoN.-Last Monday
was the worst mixed up City Election we
ever saw, and shows the opponents of the
Primary Election system how the thing
works when these elections are done away
with. A Temperance" ticket was nomin-
ated, but we believe withdrawn before cleo
ton. Caucuses were the order of the day,
and the consequence was the thing was
badly mixed up. The result was as fol-
lows: For Mayor, G. H. Baugh; Marshal,

Judgment day which God hath appointed,
say to the Judge, 81 knew thy precepts
and thy commandments, but they were not
expe6ient for that lower world, they would
not do to live by down there" The Ro-
mans would have come and taken away
both our place and nation, or some other
dire calamity would have befalien us. We
know that this would be grossly absurd,
for Jesus has told us that they who hear
His words and do them not, is like fool
ish man who built upon the sand, and it
fell, and great was the fall of it. For two
centuries after the ascension of Messiah,
Christians were SO imbued with the spirit
and teaching that they suffered martyrdom
rather than fight, but the Emperor Con-
stantine introduced the gross contradiction
of fighting christianity, and the ravages,
the horrors and miseries of war has marred
the beauty and blighted the prosperity of
christendom ever since. And now taking
up the mournful cry OF Abner the son of
Ner: "Must the sword, the bayonet and
the bombshell devour forever Forbid it
thou God of mercy. But where is the rem
edy? Where is the door of hope? BE.

pleading humanity look up with despair

on whom does she cali? To God and to
Christianity. God has not forgotten to be
gracious He has done His part and we
Care not deny it, He has given Christ and
Christianity, the physician and the remedy
fully equivalent to all the woes of humani-
ty. Jesus brought in everlasting righteous
ness. He introduced that better hope,
which maketh the corners thereunto per-
feet, and just so far as it is embraced, it
will make an end of war to the end of the
world, and renew and reiterate the an
them: "Glory to God in the highest, on
earth peace, good will towards men"
Joseph D. Hoag spoke of the Despotism
of a Military Government, showing its ut
ter antagonism to the government of the
Savior
Gilbert L. Pinkham, of Muscatine, then
referred to the general idea of self defence,
showing that this idea was not of the Cos
pei but of the world, the doctrine of Christ
being, eff man smite thee on. the one
cheek turn to him the other also"
Other appropriate remarks were made,
after which the meeting adjourned with
much good feeling.

MARION CoUNTY.-The Democrat says :
Mrs. John Walker, residing in Polk town
ship, 6 miles north of this city, whilst
climbing fence. was thrown to the ground
with such force as to severely injure her
ar m and shoulder. Proper relief was rem
dered. :. Many have joined the Baptist
church at Knoxville, recently during their
revival :. Isaac w. Brady, aged IS years,
who lives about 4 mics south of Knoxville
whilst engaged in wrestling with another
boy about his own age, en- Friday last, fell
to the ground with such force as to break
his shoulder blade. g. . Mr.. Sylvester In
giles, living at Dallas, in this county, was
kicked in the head, alb we the left eye, by
horse, and so severely injured as to place
his life in jeopardy. He was rendered in
sensible, and his skull was presumed to be
fractured. A severe cut was made above
his left eye by the toe of the horses shoe,
where it struck him.

TEMPERANCE.

The Washingtonian Society, organized
last winter have already fruits of their
work. They appointed an executive
committee whose duty it was to hunt up
evidence and prosecute all liquor sellers
against whom anything could be found.
In the discharge of that duty the commit
tee called the attention of the Grand Jury,
to the liquor house of Oscar Roop, and
that body after examining many witnesses
and Subpenaing many they did not get,
found evidence enough to warrant the
seizure of the stock, which was done.
And after much parleying the matter was
finally compromised in the manner set
forth in the following agreement:
