Democrats had the moieties distributed by the
Collectors of Customs, without making any
record of them in the Treasury, and that the
public had no record how they were distribut-
ed, but that it was notorious that they were

purposes. In contrasting the courses of the
Democratic and Republican parties he said
that the latter discovered its own abuse and
corrected them. and he knew that because it

THE GREAT ENGLISH ISSUE.

To many in this country the recent de-
feat Of the English Liberals and the over
throw of the Gladstone Ministry was a
surprise, and the cause has not been well
understood. Several reasons have been
correctly given for this seeming revolution
in English sentiment, but one potential
cause has not been sufficiently presented.
The defeat of the Liberals did not result
from real change of moral and political
convictions, for the Tories are no better es-
teemed by majority of the English peo-
pie than in other periods when out of pow
err. The Tory success was largely the
want Of unity and homogeneous action
among those who had for years retained
Gladstone and associates in power. This
want OF unity among the Liberals had one
powerful cause in the Disestabishment
question. Nearly one half of the people
of Great Britain are Dissenters and Catho.
lies. Though large majority of the most
wealthy persons of the kingdom belong to
the Established Church, it receives enor-
nous sums of money from the Govern
ment for its support and is practically
Government institution, which the Metho-
dists, Baptists, Presbyterians, and other
dissenting sects are compelled to aid in
maintaining, while at the same time they
tax themselves heavily for the support of
their own schools, ministry, and churches
Thus are situated the nine millions of Dis
senters and tWo millions of Catholics in
England and Wales alone. 1t is not
strange that the common sense and con-
science Of the British public of late have
turned strangely against this menstrous
piece Of injustice. The cry of Disestab-
lishment has been raised, never to be
hushed until all religious sects in England
are made equal before The laW.
The Gladstone ministry through its po-
litical necessities was brought to the work
Of Disestablishment in Ireland. Should
not the Methodists, Baptists, and others of
England stand on equal terms with their
brethren in Ireland? Gladstone and many
Of the Wing lords said no! Strong church
men and Believing the Establishment one
of the strongest bulwarks of the English
monarchy, they turned resisting shout
der to the Dissenting votes who make a
large proportion Of the Liberal party.

Gladstone SO unhinchingly through the
great struggles in which he had vindicat-
ed his title to noble craftsmanship, now
said they could no longer be hewers of

Use of W Worldly Gifts.

Some have gifts without them,
rather than within them-gifts
for instance, of worldly position,
estate, and such substances
These ought to be well used, and
considering that in these times
we have a starving world to deal
with, and that one of the great
impediments to the spread of the
gospel is with some of us the lack
of means for the maintenance OF
those Who. should preach the
word, it does seem a strange
thing that professors should lay
by Gods money and use it as il
it were their own. When for our
orphans, our students, our col
porteurs, and our missionaries,
we need funds, how can men love
the Lord with all their hearts,
and yet keep their thousands
cankering at their bankers, or
their tens resting in their purses?
They have not learned to provide
for themselves bags that wax
not old. They do not under
stand that to keep their money
they must give it away, that tru-
ly to preserve it they must dedi-
cate it to God. For that which
is kept by the miserly for them
selves is not really preserved,
but wasted. That which is ex
pended in the Masters service IS
laid up in heaven where neither
moth nor rust doth corrupt-Spur-
geOn.

Christian is the highest perfec-

tration of those truths than a
simple expression which fell
from the lips of a goodly friend
of mine. Through perseverance
and industry, he had been able
to build himself a house. But
his chief boast was, that from his
fireside he could see his fathers

Hope in God.

One day while riding in the
cars, there CHANGED to be sitting
in front of me a bright lad of
some fourteen or fifteen summers.
By his side was seated a middle
aged lady, whom l took to be
his mother, as their features were
very much alike. | found this
to be true, as he occasionally
called her by that name.
1 was most forcibly impressed
with the appearance of the moth
er, there was such a kind, moth
erly expression about her face.
As we were passing along the
boy would occasionally inquire
of his mother the names OF
places passed, and other objects
that seemed to attract his atten-
ton, and she would very kindly
explain them to him.
Finally he looked up into her
face and said:'Mother, why do you
always give such pleasant an
swers, and why are you always
80 happy p' "My son, it is the
hope that l have in Him who
has been with me all my life, and
will be as long as l love Him,
place myself in his care, and
keep His commandments.

continued she, "grow up with
this hope in your heart"
What good advice thought l.
good enough for any mother to
give to her son. = Scranton

Diamond cut Diamond,

There is a story of Tuscan life
by 7. Adolphus Trollope, (Harper
Brothers, publishers). Its object
is to exhibit the evils of the Con.
fessional in a country village.
Its principal merit lies in the
fine portrayal OF Italian life and
manners. The little company,
the rich fattore or bailiff, his
proud wife, the pretty daughters,
the merry contadino, the busy
priest, all bring back old mem
ories, and we seem to be living
in the Val d'Arno once again.
Nor is the parae an extravaganza;
he is not a william, but a consci-
entious man, doing his duty ac-
cording to an inflexible law /;
as result much mischief hap
pens; buG he is the victim of a
system,-of an accursed system.
Against the Confessional, which
in some respects gives power to
PoPery, and yet is perhaps its
most vulnerable point, Pere Hy-
acinthe has lately sounded his
philippics. Mr.. Trollope shows
its painful influence in the family
separating husband from wife,
creating jealousy between sisters
and leading one. to commit sui
eide. A gentleman who had
large experience in the mysteries
of Rome, said the writer: "Pro-
testants are inexcusable in their
Ignorance of the Papal system.
It's so corrupt, yet they apol
ogize for it." In this book we
have the testimony of man
who had lived among their peo-
pie for thirty years, who has
made it his business to study
their history and peculiarities,
who is not himself welded to any
particular form of faith, and who.
therefore, stands in the position
of an observer, and he makes it
clear that the Confessional, even |
in sincere hands, destroys domes-
tic peace. How much worse may
be its influence when employ
ed for sinful and reprobate ends !?
