A meeting of the Prohibition State
Committee was held in Concord on the
9thinst., with quite asfull attendance,
the business being to fix upon a time
for holding the State Convention,
which will be held in this city on the
tenth Cay of November next, and
other matters relating 10 the cam
paign. The leaders of the party are
evidently determined to enter the field
fully prepared to make hard fight,
hoping to secure votes enough to hold
the balance OF power in the State.
The Rev. Arthur Deering presented
the following statement of principles,
which was adopted:
First, We believe in the legal prohi-
bition of the Importation, manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating liquors rs a
beverage.
Second, We believe that no polit-
ical party that is radically divided
upon this question can make or en-
force any law for the suppression or
Importation, manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors.
Third, We believe that the Demo
cratic and Republican parties are so
radically divided upon this question
as to make it impossible for either of
them, under their present organize.
ton, to accomplish the object aimed
at by us.
Fourth, We believe that all votes
thro wn for either of these parties, as
present organized and acting, are not
only thrown away, but that they give
so much strength and encouragement
to the liquor traffic.
Fifth. We believe that the only
efficient way to preserve the present
prohlbitory law upon our Statute books
and secure its enforcement is to vote
with the Prohibitory party.
Sixth, We will not nominate or sus-
tain any candidate for office who does
not heartily and fully endorse and
sustain the foregoing statement of
principles unanimously adopted. LII

They have remarkable way of getting
rid of lunatics in the District of Colum-

lately taken from the Government Hos
pital, transported into the State of Mary

Nichols says that the law authorizes the
removal Of patients not residents Of the
District, or connected with the military
or naval service, to the States inIwhich
they belong. There ought to be law

CHILDRENs' DREss.-Much has been
written Of late on the subject of dress.
"What shall We wear?" GLOW much
may we spend in unnecessary dress?"
These are questions that are agitating
the minds of christian women. Some
few, at least, are taking q decided
stand against the artificial trapping of
pride and extravaganza. But would
it not be we'll for christian mothers to
begin at the root of this great evil?
How can we expect our grown-up
daughters to easily lay aside the fash
ion and follies of the day when they
have been trained to it from The cradle /?
While our little ones are decorated in
all the paraphernalla OF fashion, and
their little minds poisoned by a love
of admiration and vain show, how can
we expect to make much progress in
this reformation, so much needed in
the church?
How soon this overdressing of the
body strikes to the heart, and man.
iicsts itself in the actions of the child.
How quickly the child copies the ex-
ample set before it. If the mother
daily discusses "the latest fashion,
"the most becoming STYLE" in the
presence Of her children, will they not
naturally conclude that the highest
point to be aimed at ia life is to dress,
and to be fashionable? O, what sad
sight to see christian mothers consult
ing the dressmaker, studying the fash
ion plates, and spending so much prec-
ious time fashioning garments for the
little children God has given them to
train UP for heaven. Christian moth
ers, how much time do yon spend
studying the scripture and seeking
after knowledge and wisdom, that
you may be enabled to lead your little
ones to Him who has said, s,Suffer
little children to come unto me?"
The Christian Woman.

WHAT IS THE TRUE WORSHIP OF GOD?

= WHAT is THE TRUE WORSHIP OF GOD?
The Lord tells us lie did not come to destroy the
law and prophets, but to fulfill; the first CON-
mandment is to love God with the whole heart.
The second is like unto the first, to love your
neighbOr as yourself. On these two command
ments hang all the law and prophets. God tells
us he is spirit, and seeks such to worship him
in spirit and truth We are not under the Mo-
sale law to worship by The way of animals,
bulls, goats, rams, heifers, etc, 1t is the devise
of Satan and the works of the Devil.
There is no worship in any thing man can make;
no kind of instrument, no costly meeting house
painted and vanished, with Satan's horns
on them; we must set this down to be no true
worship in it, but the deception OF Satan and
the work of the Devil.
Let us hear what the Psalmist says about the
wicked; he says they shall be turned into hell
with all nations that forget God.
Let us hear what Paul says about cleansing our
selves; having these lxomises, dearly beloved,
let us cleanse ourselves from all flthiress of
the flesh and spirit, perfecting ourselves in hOi-
ness in the. fear of God.

ON THE NIERCIES AND BLESSINGS OF GOD.
We would ask if there is any mercy and blessing
in horse trots, circuses, fashions of the world?
1t has been said that some horses have dropped
on the trottng ground, Circus is no better.
Now let us look at the fashions. 1t is said one
woman weighed a hundred and five pounds
in her bathing dress, and in her grecian bend
dress and costly jewels one hundred and ninety.
hva pounds. There seems to be eighty or ninety
pounds of sin and iniquity. All such without
repentance must into hell and destruction be
hurled.
Let us see what it is to obtain mercy
The Lord says blessed are the merciful for they
shall obtain mercy.
To doctor the body with remedy worse than the
disease there is no mercy.
Down within ree or Our day of their dea tb, then
put them on the Inc ian way Of doet0ning, raise
them up in three or four days, we must set this
down to be the true way and full of mercy.
To get up popular religion, wanting so much
money to carry 1t on, doesn't give tho poor
fair chance. One said it was so high he couldn't
buy peck of it; we must set this down with
out mercy.
Let us see what the gospel religion is, then. Pc.
ter opened his mouth and said, perceive God
is no respecter of persons, but in every nation
he that fears Him and works righteousness is
accepted. This we must set down to be full of
mercy.
Let us look at the second coming of the Lord
and see who will have mercy. .e.......'
Paul tells us the Lord himself shall descend with
shout, the voice of the archange with the
trump of God. The dead in Christ shall rise
first then all infant children and true Christians
are to be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
So shall we be even with the Lord; such will
obtain mercy.
Let us look at the case of the ungodly and sinner
He's coming to take vengeance on them that
know not God, obey not the gospel; to them
there will be no more mercy.
am striving to live SO as to be full Of grace, love
and mercy.
