A THOUGHT FOR CHRISTIAN PEOPLE When
we consider the world, the vast multitude about
us, whose thoughts rarely, if ever get out of the
world, and who live in habitual disregard of the
great God and of eternity, it seems to me- we, who
are "of the light" ought to be SO shocked at this
their extreme folly as to be kept habitualy sober
and watchfu lest we seem to them to be not diff
ferept from themselves For if they take our
thoughts to run in the same channels as theirs, we
fail to give them testimony of their danger.

The Minutes of the General Assembly.-one

The Minutes Of the General Assembly One
point criticised in the Southern Presbyterian in its
notice of these Minutes may be explained:
In regard to names appearing on the Roll when
the parties have been dismissed to other denomi-
nations, we would say there is no way Of finding
out .oho have been so dismissed, under the present
plan of Reports from Presbyteries The Stated
Clerks only give the number of ministers thus dis
missed and not their names. 1t cannot be always
presumed that if the names are missing on the
Presbytery roll, they belong now to other demon
nations, because very often it happens that minis
tiers an transu are entirely omitted by both Pres
byteries with whom they have had, or are seeking,
connection. Rev. P. z. Flournoy, for instance,
the former Stated Clerk of Louisville Presbytery,
and widely known, is not reported. To ensure as
great accuracy in the lists possible the reports
of the meetings of the 'PreSbyteries in Missouri
and Kentucky we're examined as far as possible to
ascertain who had been thus dismissed, and the
names were omitted. In some cases the fact could
not be ascertaned, and it was thought best to re-
tain the name.

Columbia Theological Seminary. The fact
that the Rev. DIR. Girardeau had declined to &C
cept the appointment by our last Assembly to be
Professor of Theology in this Seminary, was known
more than two weeks ago, but as it has not yet
been officially announced it was not mentioned by
this and most OF the other papers Of our Church
The decision will be greatly regretted while at the
same time none will doubt that our beloved broth
er has made it in the fear of God, and after most
careful examination Of his duty under all the cir
cumstances.

their Sandalwood Oil Capsules, stating that
sometimes they cured miraculously, but that
patient of his had taken them without effect

DUNDAS DICK & co. use more Oil of SAN

combined, and this is the sole reason why the
pure Oil is sold cheaper in their Capsules than

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

We have Intentionally kept out of the
discussion of the Catholic question. We
found no fault with the Geghan law. We
believe in the very largest religious lib
erty. If the Chinese desire to erect
Joss houses, and introduce heather wor-
ship, they have the constitutional right
to do So
We have been reluctantly compelled
to believe that there is real danger
Judge Taft made powerful speech in
Cleveland last week, in which he admit
ted that he had made mistake. He
thought if he would decide, as Judge,
that the Bible should be kept out of the
schools, the Catholics would be satisfied;
but he found that they now demand
division of the school fund. We will
publish a portion, if not all, of Judge
Taft's speech hereafter
the school question which we publish
this week.
The Catholic Telegraph, the organ of
the Romish Church in Ohio, is furious
about Judge Taft's speech, and in its
issue of last Thursday says:
1--WE have agitated, and shall continue
to agitate, for our share of the school
schools which Catholic children cannot
attend We look in the future for the
abolition of this terrible grievance.
And again it says:
1.-The theory of the Catholic clergy is,
that no schools can be satisfactory to them
which do not permit the full instruction
ofCatholic children in the Catholic LASH
so that they may be we'll indoctrinated
with their religious opinions at the same
time they are acquiring secular knowl-
edge and discipline, if not the same in
structors. Judge Taft's Cleveland
Speech.
Judge Taft, knowing little or nothing
of Catholic faith, will allow us to give
him some instruction. 1t is not a theory
of the Catholic clergy that religious in
struotion should be united with secular
training. Judge Taft may theorize in
religion as he does in politics, and with
as little accuracy, but the Catholic relig-
ion does not admit of theories. What he
calls theory is doctrine explicitly de-
fined, which every Catholic layman as
well as priest is bound, under pair of sin,
to hold in all its integrity. Judge Tafts
distinction between the Catholic clergy
and laity on this point is fiction of
demagogue, who is sneaking beyond his
knowledge. If any of the laity refuse
to hear the Church when it prescribes
Catholic education for Catholic children,
they are acting as the heather and the
] publican. The Church has spoken dog
matically, and there is left neither to
priest OF layman any choice between sys-
! TENS of education. He must accept the
Christian and reject the Pagan system
which Judge Taft naturally favors."
Voters of Ohio, what, do you think of
that? Our schools are called heather,
and pagan, and this same Catholic Tele-
graph has promised the solid vote of the
Catholics to the Democratic party, and,
according to the foregoing, and in accord
ance with the truths of history the
dogmas of the Church must be obeyed.
And that the Democratic party has
agreed to the unholy alliance, the obedi-
ence to the demand of the Church in the
passage of the Geghan bill is conclusive
evidence.

There were hundreds of people present,
beautiful pole, 100 feet long, was raised,

speech. R. II. Jones commenced a well
prepared speech, when we had to leave

FLAG

John L. Jones, in public speech at
wellston last Saturday night, charged
that 1. T. Monahan, during the war ad-
yised the Democrats in meeting at Co.
lumbus, to raise money to buy arms with
which to resist the draft, and laid down
one thousand dollars as his share of such
contribution. We know nothing of the
truth of this charge. Mr.. Jones rarely
makes q charge that he is not able to
prove. If this charge is true, the loyal
people-the soldiers especially, should
know it. If false, Jones should be held
responsible. We hope I. T. may deny it,
and let the proof be produced, or Mr..
Jones branded as slanderer.

We find the following in one of our
Democratic exchanges:
"Dr Monahan has only one daughter
going to school and she attends the com
mon schools of this place. He has no
daughter in convent nor never had.
Our radical friends had better try some
other falsehood'
Dr. l. 7. Monahan had four daughters
The oldest three, Mary, Kate and Jose
phine, were all educated at Catholic
institution, 'St. Mary's of the Springs"
near Columbus. The other daughter is
a mere child Mary took the STANDARD
when she was being educated in this
Catholic institution, and she has taken
it ever since. A few weeks ago she sent
US postal card, directing US to send the
STANDARD to Sacred Heart Convent. Co
place every week.
Kate, DR.. Monahan's second daughter
died in February last, and her father
wrote an obituary, which was published
in the STANDARD March 4, 1875. In that
obituary DR.. Monahan said:
"a an early age she vas taught and
instructed in the Catho faith. That
faith to her was bright light, causing
her to adorn her profession by example
and practice in all the walks of life. She
clung to this faith with undying zeal
until the last moment in her life Hel
last words were Jesus, Mary Joseph"
DR.. Monahan has a perfect right to
take his children from the Goodies:

mon schools. The poor mans schools

enough for his children He has right
to send them to "St. Mary's of the
