DEDICATION SERMON
by the pastor His text was Mark XIII, 80. 81
"And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all
thy mind and with all thy strength" This Is the
first commandment. and there 10 no other greater
than this. The Lord thy God, mentioned IN the
text. was Him TO whom they had met to dedicate
their church. The veil which kept God from NOR.
tai view mad been rent In twain. The name OF
God was love- He was not an impersonal force,
but a living God. There might be possibly re-.
ligious worship and not Christian worship. There
the criterion oil the regenersted soul-the test OF
the soul's redemption. In church this wOrsnipul
soul may soar on the wings Of song, may breathe
tions and hopes from the words OF the
preacher, may he guided and strengthened BY the
sacramento They should worship God with all
their energies. They should present themselves
as living sacrifices on the altar OF worship. This
was worship oil the heart and SOUL They were en-
joined TO love God equally with their mind. True
religion was something's matter OF intellect
They might not be able to meet all the captions
objections that had puzzled the philosophers OF the
olden times. But this was no reason why they
should give up the Gospel for table. Anotncr
point ne enforced was that they should not put on
the worship of God until their strength was gone.
God was entitled to the nower Of their strength.
Celebrating this point At length ne took up the
Concluding lesson OF the text, which he said was
the en-, orcement of Christian brotherhood.

Second, one great cause OF complaint mas
been that the companies have charged more
for a short distance than for a longer distance
over the same road-that way places have been
compelled to pay exorbitant prices, compared
with terminal points. This bill permits the
companies to renev these unjust and outrageous
determinations.
Again, the bill is . farce in that it provides

PAT CHILD,s OPINION OF THE RE

We have been all our life Republican. The
principles OF political reform which brought
the Republican party into existence and power
were and are dear to US. Our polit cal princi-

are the same to-day that they were last year or
ten years ago, so far as principles are concern
ed. Buy the Republican party has ceased to
progress. 1t is behind the times. 1t isgetting
rotten with corrupt practices. 1t has ceased to
be aggressive. It is no longer party of prin-
ciple, but has become time-serving party-a
policy, ofhce-seeking party. W.. therefore
propose 70 join new organisation; one o.

will join it. Partisans, like hungry wolves,

SOylE GREAT EVILS.

We are inclined to the belief that cof-
fee, tea, tobacco and whisky are oil inju-
rious to the human system; and that
both man and woman would be better off
to confne themselves to proper variety
Of plain food-meats, -four, and vegeta.
bles and the natural beverage which
God has so abundantly supplied, water.
1t is the opinion of some physicians
that the human system has been mate
rally modified since the introduction OF
tea and coffee into common use; and that
even the forms Of disease have been
changed. We are OF the opinion that the
great prevalence of nervous disorders,
neuralgia, &C., can be traced to the use OF
ten and coffee. And by accustoming the
system to the need Of stimulants those
beverages lead naturally to the use of to-
b.cco and whisky. We have seen many
. promising child wrecked in nervous
mower and dwarfed in -rowth by the free
use Of coffee and tea.
Tobacco destroys as many constitutions
Is whisky; but its effects are not so glar-
ing. It does not send its victim reeling
and screaming through the streets; ii
Quietly kills him of under the disguise o
some respectable disease. An exchange

fairly; but we are inclined to think the
change is not in ourself but in those who
opposed us.
We urged last winter a committee to
reduce the bulk Of the reports of State
officers, and thus save large share Of the
printing bills; and the proposition was
resented as an outrage on common sense
This year. as soon as soon as the Legs
lature convened, committee consisting
Of Mr.. Drake, Mr.. Durant and ourself
was appointed to revise the reports and
strike out all superAuous matter and print
only that which was retained. This was
done. and the executive documents will
not be one-half as large as they were last
winter.
We urged last winter that railroads
should te compelled to weigh all grain
received, and receipt for it; and account
for the amounts received at the place Of
delivery. This, too, was denounced as a
wild, crazy, impracticable scheme. This
winter both Houses passed bill ostensi.
bly, to carry out our theory; but we
fear it will fail because it did not adopt
the plan we suggested. But the justice Of
our argument and the necessity of reform
was recognized.
The truth is, the tempest Of opposition
which greeted our advent into the Legis
lature, last winter, has howled itself ou'
of breath, and is petering out into :
gentle zephyr Of mild approba
ton. The position Of public
man is we'll illustrated by the ole
rhyme:
He spoils his house and throws his pains ava,
Who, as the sun veers, builds his window
DER;
For. should he wait, the Light, some time o
day,
Would come and sit beside him in his door.
The first great necessities Of reform
} are consistency and persistency. 1t
not that we have changed, but the Pic
1eer is convicted.

Cold weather in view York.

The ALBANY argus says that the frost
has penetrated into the earth to > greater
depth than ever before known in that
citY-in some instances full six feet below
the street bed. Many Of the lateral wa
ter mains conducting water into houses
have been frozen, and these mains are
laid five feet below the surface. Fami-
lies have thus been deprived Of their sup
ply of water, and it has required from
forty-eight to seventy hours to get down
to the mains through the earth, frozen
almost as solid as rock, 50 IS to thaw
out the oonduits and secure water again.
1t is the same story from all parts Of
the East; the cold as intense as we have
it here with ten times as much suffering
