duct before congress he chose TO- stand on /
facts and proofs, and scorned the fictitious
advantage Of q brilliant reception in Wash
ington society. This was the proper atti-
tude Of conscious innocence and high hon-1
or, which scorned any vindication which |
might be Influenced by personal populari- |
ty. Jackson, strong in sense OF his in
|tegrity, refused to be lionized-refused tol
accept even ordinary social civilities, be-
cause his just sentiment Of personal honor
revolted against being indebted for
an acquittal to anything extrane-
Gus to the real merits of the case Cleri-
cal honor should be at least as sensitive as
military honor, and we can discover no
reason why Beecher should not emulate
the laudable example of Jackson and
share his lofty scorn OF getting clear OF
accusations by demonstrations of his great
personal popularity. -
Nothing Is more delusive than the idea
that a man who makes eloquent discour-
ses on virtue is, therefore, virtu0us. That
great and acute u,oralist, DR.. Johnson. in
me Of the chapters of 'Rasselas." exposes
this delusion with his customary pungeDcy.
The prince, in the course OF his adven-
lures, finds wise and happy man, to
WHOM he was willing to make a complete
surrender of his Judgment. He speaks

sons and conviction closes his periods.
This man shall be my future guide. l

him against such easy credulity. BE not
too hasty." said Imlac, ITO trust or to ad

course like angels, but they live like men.
The prince, as the readers of 'Rasseias' vii
recolect, very soon found his illusions dis
PEELED by visit to the reyered teacher al

/ neither his eloquence nor bis popularit.
: can avail him unless he can confute thu
r testimony Of bis accusors. He must stan'
n or fall by the proper evidence in the ease
and the great display OF eluquence whicl
he makes in his pulpit is quite as likely t
e be interpreted against him as in his favor
. If he ielt sure OF his grounds Of defence

the Lancaster District Conference

The Lancaster District Conference
Held its seventh session in Carroll. o.,
beginning at P. NJ, Nov. 16, 1875.
The opening sermon was preached by
Rev. j. Mackey, of Tarleton, o., from
i Cor. 2-14. Thirty-six members of the
Conference were present.
We find that these semi-annual meet
ings of the district are growing in inter-
est. There are some who are members
of this body, local preachers and exhort-
ers, who have not attended a single ses-
sion of the Conference. Others who
have been present at one or two sessions
and remained but few hours. The I'M
preston of sOme of these brethren il,
that the District Conferences, a they are
conducted, are detrimental TO their use
fulness and the good of The Church.
The design of the Conference. in the re-
Quirement it makes Of the local preach
ers and exhorters, is to help them in
their work, and thereby add to their
usefulness.
And now we are prepared to say, from
what we have seen, together with the
testimony of those who have been at
tending these Conferences regularly,
that it is eur opinion if these brethren,
who are unfavorably impressed, wonld
attend the next session of the Confer
ence, from its beginning to its end, they
would no longer regard these eonvoca-
tions as useless, but would hail them as
one of the important things Of the
Church's economy.
The following are a part of the ap-
pointment Of local preachers and ex-
horters that were made:
Somerset-Rev. ). Ortman and Rev
o. p. Landon.
Junction City-Rev. r. J. Black.
New Reading and Harvey Chapel
J. F. Thomas and Samuel Harland.
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolred, That we carry out the in
structions of the Discipline on the con-
tinnation of our Sabbath Schools dur
ing the entire year, as found on page
344
The next session will be held at Roy
alton, Ohio, some time in August, 1876.

The Beecher scandal unexpectedly
breaks out in spots occasionally. The
managers of Plymouth church are sore
ly troubled over the problem of dispos-
ing of brother Beecher's enemies-or
rather those who do not believe in his
infallibility-who are members of the
church. Such of these brethren as
have studiOusly absente5 themselves
from the church since the trial of the
pastor, are being summoned before
committee of the faithful to give satis-
factory canse for such absence Mrs.
Moulton was up before this committee,
and gave them her reason, which was
in the nature of seoreher; and now
comes Deacon Duncan formerly one of
the pillars of the concern, and gives
them another center-shot. He was
summoned, and appeared before the
committee, and was told that unless he
gave a satisfactory explanation, the
committee must recommend the church
to drop his name from the roll. He re-
piled with protest against any such
action, and intimated that, should his
protest be disregarded, he would make "a
square issue in church meeting and
before the public.
"What is your reason for absence
from church service?" he was asked.
at ia due to the fact, he bluntly an
swered, "that. on evidence which is sat
isfactory to my own mind, / believe
that Henry Ward Beecher is an adul-
terer and a perjurer."
There was some further conversation,
in which Mr.. Duncan more fully ex-
pressed his views, and Mr.. Beecher's
friends endeavored to convince him that
his aggressive attitude was wrong. but
he was obdurate. After he had with
drawn, the committee resolved not to do
anything with him until the trouble
with Mrs. Monlton should be settled.

more than the combined salaries of the

Coal is abundant and cheap in this
vicinity, and gas could be made and sold
here at figure, it strikes us, that would
make its use general, and considerable
saving TO consumers over the present
method of illumination. Besides being
superior to coal oil, gasoline, and candles,
in point Of convenience and illumina-
ting power, it is infinitely safer, as re-
CARDS fires, and accidents to individuals,
than any of these. Discussion upon the
subject would not be amiss, and may de-
develope the fact that here is field for
a small company seeking profitable in
vestment. to occupy and try their hand
at doing a service to the public and n
good thing for themselves. Gas!

Temptations are true tests, and ac-
cordingly are often the best friends we
have. The man or woman who has no
temptations can never know the strength
Of principle he or she may possess. The
merit of virtue is brought out when it
is beset by an enemy. The world likes
the strong and the good, bnt it never
sees it till it has shown itself by severe
contact and struggle with the opposing
elements and been on severe trial as il
were.
