JOHN TODD'S REFORMATION.

1t not unfrequently happens that when
prayers and entreaties and shame, SUI
fering and degradation have failed to
check man in his down-hill course,
some incident seemingly changes the
whole current of his life have such
an incident in mind. You may know
my hero as John Todd. a few yet liv-
ing may know him by another name.
John Todd had sunk very low. Once
he had been gay. handsome and happy.
When he made Mary Somers his wife
there was not a young man in our viii
lage whose prospects seemed brighter.
But the demon of drink seized him. 1t
was a gradual growing of appetite and
a gradual but sure going down. Wife
and children were neglected; true friends
were forsaken; the low and debased
were his chosen companions, and poverty
and want fell upon his once happy
household.
For months and years his friends tried
TO save John Todd. They expostulated.
they prayed, they begged. they reasoned,
but all to no avail, and at length they
gave itup.
One night, quivering and shaking,
with not a penny in his pocket, John
Todd entered his dilapidated home and
asked his wife for liquor. She told him
there was not drop in the house. He
cursed her savagely and then commenced
to search, protesting to believe that she
had liquor hidden away somewhere AT
length, away back on one of the shelves
of small locker over the fireplace he
found bottle the contents of which
smelIed like rum. As he raised It to his
lips, his wife, who had been watching
him, sprang forward and dashed the bot
tie from his hand, sIiivering it upon the
hearth.
With a fierce oath John Todd smote
his wife to the floor. supine upon the
broken glass, and then staggered away
to his bed. He would not 90 out again,
for he had no money.
On the following morning his oldest
child-a girl of twelve years-eame to
his bedside.
so, papa, do you know what you did
last night!'
He had dim recollection, but made
no reply.
'.You knocked mamma down and cut
her badly"
''Aye, child, she-she"-
''She saved your life, papa That was
poison in the bottle you were holding to
your Hps-a most deadly poison"
Poison. childF
''Yes, don't you remember what grand
ma sent over for mamma to kill bugs
with2 1t was corrosive subhInate and
alcohol"
John Todd sank back upon his pillow
and did not get mp until noon. When

DIvEasITY OF SECTs. the late
Baptist Convention held at Saratoga,
New York, Rev. III. II. Peabody, D. D.,
OF Rome, read an essay on Diversity of
Sects Inevitable and Sslutary." The
speaker held that religious sects were
the natural outgrowth of religious liber-
ty, and were not nece ssarily hurtful.
Christ, he believed, struc k at uniformi-
ty, and inaugurated an era of sect-mak-
ing. Christianity must start from a unit,
and inevitably become diverse. In this
it appears what is true in the history
of every religion. The Reformation
brought diversity. At freedoms ham
mer-stroke the people flew apart like
atoms, and then as if left to the law of
their own polarity, clustered into new
and more healthful relations. Diversity
of religious opinion implies, and is essen
tial to, religious liberty; and the speaker
apprehendrd that the Church would be
characterize ed by diversity in unity to the
end of time. He anticipated new and
better sects in the new and better day
which is dawning upon humanity.
While DR.. Peabody's essay did not
command general assent, DIR. Thomas,
of Brooklyn, and DR.. r ,eves, of Albany,
endorsed hi, positions; while DIR. Bright,
of New York. and R,v. III. F. Lane, of
Malone, disseated, IN lintaining that
Christ contemplated unity, not diversity,
in his Church, and that the time would
come when, by the triumph of the truth,
sectarianism would cease.
The Findlay Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Hancock County, Ohio) 1870-1881, 1875-12-17

he arose he was very weak and tremu-
lous. He dressed himself and went out
into the kitchen, where he saw his wife
standing by the fireplace, with g napkin
bound round her head. He went to her
side and laid his hand upon her shoulder.
She turned and looked into his face, but
he did not speak He only kissed her
and then went out.
Only kissed her, What did it mean.
Mary Todd caught her hands over her
heart to crush back the sudden, surging
hope. 1t were madness to hope now.
And yet, with the impress of the kiss
upon her cheek, and with the memory
of the look that had accompanied it,
she sank upon her knees and wept and
prayed.
John Todd went away into the woods
where he wandered until nightfali, and
with the last cleaning of the setting sun
he was upon his knees, his palsied hands
reverently folded, speaking a vow to
Heaven that his home should be once
more happy if he could make tso.
Out of the darkness of desolation,
even i'll the midst of ruin, comes the
angel of hope and promise to the stricken
home. Mary heard, and saw, and took
heart, and gave her smile and blessing
to the work.
That was twenty years ago. John
Todd has kept the faith from that day
to this. He is beloved, respected and
honored wherever he is known; and
happier woman than his wife is not to
be found anywhere.

NATIONAL REFORM CONVENTION.

a Convention assembled at Xenia, on
w d Iesday, the first inst, under the au
spices of the Ohio State National Re
form ASSOCIATE IN. Tie objects of this
Laws, the Bible in the Schools, and all
other Christian features of our Govern
ment, TO diffuse Christian principles of
government among the people, and to
secure the Religious Amendment of
the Constitution of the United States
Among those present were President H.
A. Thompson, of Otterbein University;
President Merrick, of Delaware Univer-
sity; the Revs. Milton H. Wright, and
Professor Hobey, editors of the Reilly
tous Telescope; President H. II. George,
of Geneva College, and many others.
Addresses were made by the Rev. T. p.
Stevenson, of Philadelphia, Correspond
ing Secretary of the National Associa-
ton, President Merrick, Revs. Milton,
Wright, w. H. French, and others.
The resolutions declare that God is the
author of civil government, and his law
is the rule by which it is to be regulated;
that the failure of the Constitution of
the United States to acknowledge these
principles has suggested and invited as.
saints on the Christian features of the
government, and is silently and power
fully influencing the public mind to
yield to the demands of the enemies
of Christianity; that this attempted sew
erance of the nation from its allegiance
to God and its subsection to Christ is
fraught with danger to our rights and
liberties, and to all that is most precious
in our civil institutions, and if effected,
must expose the nation to the heaviest
judgments of heaven; that, therefore
there is an imperative necessity that the
Constitution of the United States should
contain an acknowledgment of these
great principles; that this recognition
is necessary in order fully and explicitly
to harmcnize that instrument with our
State Constitutions, our statute laws,
and our Christian usages; and that the
citizens of Ohio are specially called on to
exert themselves for the preservation of
the Christian laws and usages of the
State, in consequence of the repeated
assaults which have been made upon
them, and the countenance these have
received from the highest judicial au-
thority of the Commonwealth.
Arrangements were made for the EN-
ployment of State lecturer and agent
in behalf of the cause. The Rev. r. ID.
Pollock, D. D., of Wooster, was elected
to that position.
The National Convention for this cause
meets in the Philadelphia Academy of
Music on the 2Sth of June next.

WHAT we want is men with little
courage to stand up for Christ. When
Christianity wakes up, and every child
that belongs to the Lord is willing to
speak for him, and, if need he, willing
to die for him, then Christianity will ad-
vance, and we shall see the work of the
Lord prosper. There is one thing which
fear more than anything else, and that
is the dead, cold, Journalism of the church
of God. Talk about the false ''isms. ="
Put them all together and l do not fear
them so much as dead cold Journalism
Talk about the false ''ismsl" There is
none SO dangerous as the dead, cold,
Journalism, which has come right into
the heart of the church. There are so
many of us just sleeping and slumbering
while souls all around us are perishing.

For the Findiay Jetfersonian. /
An APPEAL.

When a NAN has been foolish enough. or
unfortunate enough, to permit the habit of
drinking TO get the better Of him, he is both
to be pitied and blamed But the man who.
having been overcome by strong drink and
who. with earnest endeavor and sincerity of
purpose, is trying to overcome that terrible
vice and habit, is deserving of all sympathy
and assistance. Those who sneer at such
men, say hard things and speak unkindly of
them, or 10 them, do wrong To men who
would thus act unkindly, would read four
lines from Pope:
''Teach me to feel another's woe,
To hide the fault see,
That mercy to others show,
That mercy show to me"
The following verses, which appeal for
sympathy, are respectfully addressed to the
thinking reader.
Extend kind hand
To all who would stand
In the shoes of good sober man;
To all those who would
If only they could.
BE sober and upright againI
1Our nclp lncy 90 neeu,
Then bid them good-specd,
Nor say that they never can rise,
For hard is their road.
And heavy their load
Encourage them, if you are wise,
For dear mercy sake
Tell them never to break
A pledge not to drink any mOrel
And stand by their side
For sorely they're tried
Make them men, rs in good days OF yOre.
Don't turn up your nose,
Though threadbaTe's their clothes,
But aid them, in earnest good sense,
To keep the right way,
Ne'er more 90 astray;-
And conscience will you rccompcnsc,
Without sin there is nome
We cannot find one
Some in one way; some in others;
Some sin in their drink
But just stop and think
''All are made of one flesll"-wc are
brothers.
Mothers, sisters, and wives,
Would almost give their lives
To see such unfortunates right;
Then help each poor soul
Who'd escape the accursd bowl,
And angels will smile at the sight.
And when one proves true,
And fights the fight through,
Then show him that he'll be befriended;
And the Great Power above,
In kindness and love,
Will reward you and him, when life's
ended.

the qualification and enlarged view they
give. these things are of no great utility
o. psac ic,i Importance. II the student
th0rOu y:ily masters at school all the fun
danental branches Of education those
which are not only of great utility in
themselveS, but the stepping-stone to
the higher branches he may depend
on his own exertiOns to increase his
kno oEledge in after years.
To the common school, high school,
and academy, then, We look az aft Dri
ing the education which young men most
need in this utiIiiarian age, and all they
have time TO acquire. Beginning with
the elementary branches, they not only
carry the student through such branches
of study as are of great practical ilnpor
tance and necessary to the proper carry
Ing on of any business pursuit, but they
also give him acquaintance with such of
the higher branches as are necessary to
expand his Ipind, and afford him the
pleasures and stimulus of an enlarged
mental horizon.
Many authorities might be cited to sup
port the above view, Were it necessary
not only practical business men. but
scholars as well. We will, however, cite
but one, the Hon. Edward Everett, ore
Of the most scholarly men of his day,
who wrote: ''To read the English Ian
guage well, to write with dispatch a neat,
legible hand, and be master of the first
four rules of arithmetic, so as to dispose
OF, at once, with accuracy, every ques-
ton of figures which comes up in prac-
tice-I call this good education. And
if you add the ability to write cure gram
matical English, regard it as an excel
lent education. These are the tools;
you can do much with them, but you are
helpless without them. They are the
foundation, and unless you begin with
these, all your fiashy attainments, little
geology, and all other ologies and oso-
phies, are ostentatious rubbish"
