Hel Them To Work.

Some one has remarked, and We
think with great truth, That minister
IL most successful MS such who succeeds
in getting the largest number Of
church members to work in the inter-
ests Of his church" 1t is simply im-
possible for one man, no mat ter how
earnest, or how much Of spiritual,
mental, aud bodily health he has, to do
everything. There Is limit Of human
power. He may preach the gospel
with energy and JUNCTION administer
tho sacrement., visit the sick, bury the
dead, instruct the ignorant, &C., &c. ;
but he G.: mot vi.it everybody that
needs consolation, or instruct privately
every one that ought to be instructed,
Or look after every case Of destitution
that occurs in his parish limits. Hap
py the clergyman. therefore, that knows
the powers and gifts Of the members Of
his church, and can induce such to use
them.
There is tho Sunday School; If we'll
managed what a blessing it is! Sup
pose every clergyman had, at least, four
Bible Glasses connected with the school,
but not in the school-room. A junior
and senior male Bible-class, and ju-
NOR aud female Bible class, allowing
but ono thing to guide him in selecting
the classes-viz., asc,-cvcry boy and
girl over such an age to be in tho ju-
nior Bible-class; every boy and girl
over such an age to be in the senior
class. No rule but age will answer !;
any other apport;onme"t will cause
trouble. Then to have four teachers to
instruct these classes, aud to do it well !!
That blessing such members would
be!
Then if tho clergyman had some
young men to look after oil or young
men, to induce them to attend church
and connect themselves with the Bible
class aud to report every month his
success, what mi ht be accomplished !!
Others to look after the sick, others
after the poor, others to teach sewing
aud housekeeping or cooking; but the
works to be done are as varied as re
conditions Of the parish What a
clergyman needs, therefore, in order to
make his parish success, "a success,
We mean, in saving souls for which
Christ died, is to got Christian men
and women to ,cork-to work in unison
and under his superintendent! Hap
py that clergyman who can find such,
and find work for them! A no man
can be happy without work, 80 no

Greeley Con (eSaeS.

MIR. Greeley has at last made q
speech with pith and marrow in it. He
delivered an address at Pittsburgh,
night before last that We hope will be
read by every voter in the land. In
this speech occurs the following pass
age, which ought to be bIazoned on the
house-tops and repeated again aud
again, until no one is ignorant Of the
atrocious sentiments Of this candidate
for the Presidency. Read his words ::
Fello,o citizens ! I demand that
there shall be open, free discussion be-
fore the Southern people. If after an
honest, un'err;fed, u"constroined cote
they prove that the peopte Of the South
say they 'oaat d'santon, l WILL CONSENT
TO IT,"
At lust We have the bold avowal Of
this man that the Union is nothing but
a congregation of independent States,
liable to be destroyed and broken up at
the will Of minority. I'VE have no
desire to discuss this question We
argued the matter to our satisfaction in
1861. We believed that we had the
better Of the discussion, but the South
err people were Dissatisfied and ap.
pealed to arms. We met them on the
field. The contest wos fearful one.
aud we thank heaven it has not been
once forgotten. It resulted in our tri-
umph, but we are reminded of the cost
of the struggle by the millions of our
debt By the multitude Of widows and |
orphans, and by the soldiers graves
that dot the hillsides of our church.
yards and eli the vast national cemeter-
les of the South. We thought the
principle forever settled. We thought
the decision final. But now comes a
man reared ard fostered in tho North,
who takes the buried principle by the
hand, and electrities the corpse Of dis
union by infusing into It the noxious
ointment that it yielded upat Arpomat-
tcx. And this is done at Pittsburgh. on
the. ground where, twelve hours be.
fore, 10000 survivors Of tho war had
met and affirmed the great principles
that they had periled their lives to
maintain. Verify, ttero was need Of
that patriotic gathering. The dangers
which. they saw were not Imaginary.
To-day secession rears its head in our
very midst, and the words that have
warmed it into being emanatc from
Horace Greeley, the candidate Of a
powerful coalition for President of the
United States. Friends Of the Union!
Democrats or Republicans, let there be
no mistake about your answer to this
wicked avowal. Let there b. such a
response al the polls as shall bury the
doctrine Of disunion forever and etcr-
nally.
The revelation Of these sentiments
must have the effect of causing thou
sands and thousands Of those who have
thus far stood by Mr.. Greeley, t. dcs
ert him, and We shall be surprised if
the Liberal press and orators, with few
exceptions, do not retire from his sup
port with gratitude for their escape
from the crime OF foisting so dangerous
a man on the American people.-l~ter

How Mr.. Greeley could let bis an-

likely that he was tho writer, but that

him to fall to the level assigned by him
to the ex-Presidcnt.

" The Northern Democrats may be

to know the reasons ? Well, one Of
them is that he doesn't know enongh.
Another is, that he doesn't carry guns

that he has profcssed to be u Rcpubl;.
