GotO church.

There is no such substitute for the
preaching of the word, as the effect
tual and ordinary means of CONVEX
sion and Christian continuation
No one who expects to die the death
of the righteous can simply leave
this and resort to meditation upon
divine goodness in the fields and
woods, or to the quietude of his
own spirit at home, or to the oracle
ofreAsOn, or to the printed sermons
of gifted authors. A printed SER
mon as read at home may be better
written, may be profound, finished,
or spiritual, but the fact that the
reading of sermons in private by
those who attend church is lfot the
divine plan, is enough to condemn
il as substitute.
No matter who breaches. The
ambassador whom some European
sovereign may send to our national
capital cannot be ignored because
he may be third-rate or a tenth
rate statesman; If he have the seal
of his royal master 10 his commits
sion, he is received and his dispatch
es considered. And so, without al
lowing personal considerations TO
obtrude, we should concern our
selves chiefly with he overtures
which our Divine Sovereign makes
to us, under His own seal, and send
ing by whom He will.
For those physically able to attend
church but spiritually languid, and
in practice irregular or neglectful,
we say turn over a new leaf Go to
church. You will find providence
in it; for Gods words and proVi-
dence go together our Monthly.

rhe Quaker,s Daughter.


In 1928 there lived in Burlington
county n. j., a Quaker preacher by
the name of Abraham, a very
mild pleasant-spoken person, who
had a beautiful and accomplished
daughter of the name of Patience
There were several young men in
the neighborhood who were very
anxious to win the lovely Patience.
Among them was one by the name
ofDavid c., who was thought to be
the favorite of both father and
daughter, and yet nothing had pass
ed that could be considered as an en-
gagement. One morning, as David
was about TO leave, having passed
the night at uncle Abraham's as he
was Familiarity called, his horse was
brought to the door, most of the
family being there to see him start.
The animal became very restless,
and it was some time before he could
get upon his back; he got out of pa
tience, and struck the horse several
cuts with his whip. Uncle Abraham
looked at David very seriously and
said, ''David, thee shonld have pa
tience." "Uncle Abraham, | will,
if | can get her." was the immediate
reply. Patience consented, and I'm
Gle Abraham blessed them on the
spot, and he often laughed at the
way David caught him.

Turning momentarily aside from
contemplating the prevailing dis
ease" the Nashville Union and
American says of q prediction that
the funding question will be the
next Issue in Tennessee:
IL the anti-funders wish to mako
the issue, let them do it, and we will
see who will be funded. If the anti
funders force the issue, they may
get up another triangular race and
elect a Radical Governor, Radical
Legislature, Radical Representa-
tives in Congress, and a Radical U.
S. Senator to succeed BrownloW.-
It may be that some of thesanti-fund-
ing organs would prefer this to the
unity and triumph of the Democra-
cy. =.
1t is we'll known that the "Radi-
cal'' vote in the Legislature-manip-
Mated by Houk, A. A. Freeman Il
Co,-carried the funding bill thro'
that body, and il has been asserted
that a private understanding exists
by which Judge HOuk is to become a
"funding'' candidate for Governor.
Are we TO infer from our contemp-
orary's mysterious hint that the pro-
gramme also involves 'a Radical
Legislature, Radical Representa-
tives in Congress, and a Radical u.
Senator to succeed Brownlow. II
SO, Houk, Freeman & Co. have
not suffered so far as promises arc
concerned. tEsAts

Audible and Inaudible Sounds.

The phenomenon of color blindness is
familiar fact; but an analogous
phenomenon, what might be called
pitch deafness, though not uncommon,
is not SO generally known. BY pitch
DEAFNESS is meant insensibility to GER
tain sound-vibrations Prof Donald
son, of the University of Edinburgh,
used to illustrate the different grades of
sensibility to sound by a very simple
experiment, namely, by sounding a set
of small organ-pipes of great acuteness
of tone. The gravest note would be
sounded first, and this would be heard
by the entire class. Soon some one
would remark, "There, tbs silent. )"
whereas all the rest would distinctly
hear the shrill piping continued. AS
the tone rose, one after another of the
students would lose sensation of the
acute sounds, until finally they became
inaudible to all.
There is reason for supposing that
persons whose ears are sensitive to very
acute sounds are best able to hear very
grave notes, and vice versa. Probably
the hearing capacity of the human ear
ranges over no more that II octaves.
l.
ear is supposed to represent about Is
vibrations per second, and the sharpest
5000 per second.
The auditory range of animals is
doubtless very different from that of
man they hear sounds which are in
sensible to us, and vice versa. Many
persons are insensible to the scream of
the bait is too acute. But to the bat
itself that sound must be in all cases
perfectly sensible. If, then, we sup
pose the bat to have an auditory range
of II octaves, and its scream or cry to
stand midway in that range, the animal
would hear tones some six octaves high
er than those audible to the human ear
two and half million vibrations per
second.
Scoresby and other arctic voyagers
and whale-hunters have observed that
whales had some means of communicate
ing with one another at great distances.
1t is probable that the animals below
in tone too grave for the human ear,
but quite within the range of the ceta-
cean ear.-POpuLar Science Monthly.
