i; SIaNIFICANT.-Three infant children
were taken by their parents last Sabbath
to the Altar Of the Congregational Church
and there made to accept the ordinance
Of baptism. To US this has always seem
ed most beautiful ceremony, not because
it argues anything directly with reference
to the future of the chill ire1 not that it
commits them voluntarily to any creed
or to any mode of life; not that they there.
by consciously accept the teachings Of the
Church, or profess faith in its doctrines
not that they seek any privileges, or as.
sumo any responsibility, or experience
any reciprocal advantage from the per.
Torrance of the rite; but for the reason
that the father who submits. them to the
authority Of the church. to be subjects of
its ordinances, himself thereby processes
his respect for them, and his belief in the
doctrines which they embody. He does
more than that, he pledges himself before
the assembled multitude, and to the God
whose blessing he invokes upon his child.
rem, that he will be to them faithful
teacher and guide. BY that act he pub
licly signs the pledge, commits himself
against any movement calculated to ex
tend the traffic in strong drink, accepts
the dccalogue without reservation, and
promises conformity to all that it prohib.
its and all that it enjoins; he declares his
adherence of evil in every form, and his
love of truth. He asserts the superior
value of the christian religion over every
merely moral code, and offers himself as
the mentor Of his children-promisins to
train them up SO that they shall be useful
in the world and an honor to the church
which consecrated them to holy life
We grant that the obligation Of parents to
their children cannot be increased by any
outward act or profession. The relation
ship between parent and child imposes
upon the former the highest responsible
ty which can be assumed, although par
eats are not always conscious Of it; but
that man vino carries his child to the bap
tism 81 font and thereafter lives not life
before that child in accordance with the
teachings of the christian religion, Can
never excuse his delinquency nor repair
the injury wrought by his false teaching
The baptism Of the infant is new self
conservation of the parent, and cannot
but result to the advantage of both if the
parent does Ills duty.

THE MONTHLY FAIR.-Last Saturday
there was large number of people in the
city. Many were attracted by the an
nouncement that the usual Tuesday Fair
would take place, and it did. The display
of stock and other things from the coun.
try was not large, but there was quite a
number Of attractive features which made
the Fair very successful. The people are
beginning to realize that the dealers in
the city are in earnest about the Auction
Sales and that they will put upon the
market something of almost everything
that anybody wants, to be sold for just
what it will bring. The Monthly Fairs
are to continue, and before long they will
be regarded as Of mutual benefit. Re
member that the next will occur on the
I'd Tuesday in June. !:
