THE LIBERTY OF PRoTEsTANTIsm.

One reason for the opposition of
orthodoxy to liberty is the danger of
its abuse. This danger equally beset
all liberty. The right use of person,
al freedom is probably the most diff
tlcult of all things to learn. 1t is not
merely that men are liable to abuse
1t, but that multitudes are certain to
do SO. But we do not, therefore
oppose civil liberty and advocate
despotism as the only means of pre-.
venting abuse. We believe it is
better to have liberty Notwithstanding
the great perils attending it.
SO, In religious matters. there is
great danger OF an extreme use of
the right of private Judgment. But
IT does not follow that men should be
deprived of religious liberty for fear
they will abuse it. They must rather
be taught that it is theirs of right, az
gift of God that they are account
able to Him for the use they make of
1t, and may not, therefore, abuse it
with impunity. Admitted that
many will ruin themselves by abusing
their liberty, yet there can be no
doubt that many would be ruined by
an intolerance that drives them out
of the church into a hatred of all re-
ligious truth.
Orthodoxy cannot keep men from
thinking, nor can it keep the thinker
within the prescribed limits. Mind
is inherently free. 1t cannot be
chained nor kept 10 ignorance of its
liberty. Sooner or later men will
find out that they have an inalienable
right to freedom. The question is,
shall orthodoxy recognize their free.
dom and encourage it by making
them feel that Christianity, the great
liberator of mankind. is not the
enemy but the friend and foster m 9TH
er of freedom, and thereby hold
them under its influence, where it
can teach them how to use their lib
erty temperately, reverently, in the
fear and service OF God I? Or shall
orthodoxy continue to teach men
that free thought sHd investigation
are wicked and lie 20 hell, and that
if they persist in the exercise of
their liberty they Inust be turned out
of the church, and deprived of it's
sympathy and help; and thus force
them into opposition to Christianity
and hatred of the very name of
orthodoxy as a synonym for bond
age? If SO the result will be impious
defiance instead of reverence, con-
tempt instead of investigation,
license, instead of liberty, and utter
recklessness instead of the fruits of a
holy life.
The church has no right to drive
men from its altars by Incidence, for
in 80 doing it loses its power to ben
eft them. The church was not es-
tablished to deprive men of their
liberty, but to teach them how to use
it. But in order that men may
know how to use it rightly they must
have it. 1t is only by theIpossession
and exercise of liberty that men can
learn its proper use. 1t is therefore
the duty of Professionalism to win men
to its affairs and keep them there, by
guaranteeing perfect freedom of
thought and conscience, that it may
be able to benefit them, and guide
them out of their doubts into higher
faith beyond. BY "An Orthodox
Minister" i1a Scri6ner's for July.

The Kind of Wife for a Drunken Man
to Have.

"How do you get along ?" said
devoted wife to her husband, a down
town merchant, in the midst of the
panic. ooh! | shall weather the
storm, but | wish | had only a few
hundred dollars more. 1t would be
very convenient, to say the least"
Don't you wish you had married a
rich wife ?" said she, in a teasing Q
way; then rising and going to her
room she returned with rather more
than the amount required in United
States bonds. "Why where in the
world did you get this ?" Well, my
dear, you went to champagne sup
per seven years ago, and on your
return finding navigation around the
room rather difficulty, deposited hat,
shoes, gloves, and a large roll of
bank bills on the carpet. / put it
away, and waited three weeks for you
to inquire if | had seen it. When
finding you were ashamed to do so,
| invested it; and here you have it."

But time is fitting by,
Instead of working don't be fooled;
The old man may not die;
And if he should, the chances are,
His will may be mislaid
Or you cut off without a cent,
So go and "learn trade"

Who from their duty shirk;
Who think 'twould crush their fam ly pride
If they should go to work;
Take off your coat (your father dio),
And find some honest maid,
Who'll help you make your fortune VIII en-
You've learned an honest trade.
Be temperate in all you do,
Be faithful to your ''boss;"

When fame and fortunes made,
The best step that you ever took
Was when you learned trade.

to be under q years of age, one swore
that he never signed the application
and eleven sent written requests to

and occasioned some comment there
by. The explanation is rather Curl
GUS. It seems that Mr.. Mosby came
to the White House about year ago |
and assured the President that, in his |
opinion, the issues of the past should
be forgotten, and that he was ready, as
a late prominent Confederate, to give
in his adhesion to the Union. The
President was much pleased at this
exhibition Of returning reason, and,
desiring to propitiate the Southern
element, offered Mr.. Mosby a place in
the diplomatic service at Vienna. Mr..
Mosby declined, with thanks, but
soon afterward sent q letter to the
President recommending friend for
an appointment in the government
service, which appointment was made.
This was followed by others, it being
thought that in all no less than TWEEN
ty persons have been chosen for places
of honor and profit on the indorse-
ment of this ex-guerrilla. A while
ago it came to the ears of the Presi-
dent that Mr.. Mosby was doing a
brokerage business in these appoint
ments, and that he charged not only
a fee for the recommendation, but q
percentage on the salary of the officer
selected. A stop was at once put to
these operations, and upon this being
done MIR. Mosby went over to the old
pro-slavery element, which is still
engaged in fighting the battles Of the
war, and INDUCING in crusades against
the colored element. The confidence
