THE GREAT MIDDLE.

Much of the theological trouble
comes from confusing the words
Jesus and Christ. The first name,
the second as clearly a title and not
name. 1t is unfortunate that Uni
tarians are no more accurate than
the Orthodox in the use of these
words. Possession in nomenclature
is the first essential in scientific study;
it is equally SO in the effort to reach
sure conclusions in the logic con-
corning Diety; or theology.
Christ, from the Greek Christos,
is the anointed or appointed; as
kings are anointcd to fulfill an Of
fee. Jesus was appointed of God,
for great and peculiar mission; as
history proves, the brightest work
yet done by man. He was so en-
titled in the Gospels and Epistles;
the Christ of God. The title is
very rarely used figuratively. Paul
is careful to say s'the Christ" He
evidently looked on Jesus as an Of
fetal, the Great High Priest, the
anointed of God.
Deity looking man-ward or
through the human is always the
Christos. The Christ spirit in man
is of God. The Christ in Jesus was
of God. Jesus was simply the di-
vinely human-full of loneliness
and worth. Jesus died like man.
The Christ lives forever. In re-
ligious emotion the two ideas be-.
come confused. All that is falsely
attributed to Jesus fairly belongs to
the Eternal Christos. In us he
cures, he inspires, he purifes, he
vanquishes the satanic, he forgives
sins and teaches forgiveness. This
is just what we want for our soul
rest-faith in the eternal and uni
versal love and inspiring principles.
the spirit that became so grandly
incarnated in Jesus; Jesus The APP
pointed. AS we are like him, we
are all appointed of God. Our
work measures our mission.-E.

man, you need not look any further; God
does not look any further. Whatsoever re

hath done. There is no painting it over, no
cloaking it out Of sight. He must receive
the wrong that he has done, and there is no
respect to persons. That is the way the
great text comes to its end. To the right
right evermore, to the wrong; his own por-
tiou evermore. Evermore do / say? He
may forsake his wrong, if he will; but he
has got his damage with him, he has got
his memory with him. He may make the
most of himself afterwards. and tits grand

forbidden haunts.
There are just two powers in Christani-
ty, the hygienic or the sailing power, to
keep one from falling into faint; and the
curative power or medical force, to heal the
hurt OF our nature. Resort to both, though

by high, vital sensitive forces coming be-

suit or our labor, then the frutage of the
spirit will come to US. For there is given

MUSICAL FAMILIES.

Heredity shows itself more mark
eddy, it would seem, in the arts than
in the sciences. Taking music, we
find some remarkable instances.
The Bach family, which took its
rise in 1850, and became extinct in
1900, presents an unbroken series of
musicians for nearly two centuries
Of that interval. The head of the
family was Wet Bach, baker OF
Presburg, and his two sons were the
first Of the family who were mu-
sicians by profession. The descend

Saxony aud Franconia," says Pa
pillon. 'sThey were all organists,
church singers, or what is called in
Germany, city musicians When
they became too numerous to live all
together, and the members of this
family were scattered abroad, they
resolved to meet once a year
on stated day, with a view to
keep up sort of patriarchal bond
of union. This custom was kept
up until nearly the middle of the
eighteenth century, and often times
hundred persons bearing the title of
Bach, men, women, and children,
were to be seen assembled. In the
family are reckoned twenty-nine
eminent musicians, and twenty
eight of lower grade" Rossini's
family played music at fairs; Beet

were musicians; Mozart's father

A ME MORY
SARAH D. HOBART.

The woods were grandly regal,
In gold and crimson rare,
And the asters, white and purple,
Waved in the Autumn air.
But not of health and gladness,
Did natures grandeur speak;
Twas the hectic flush of fever
That stained her tawnv cheek.
Like the year our hope was dying,
Ang solennly and slow,
We spake the words of parting
On the brink of bitter Woe
Towing high above us.
In the ambient Autumn air,
The rocks rose, grim and hopeless,
Like Titans in despair.
But their SCARED and broken lodges
Were gemmed with ferns and moss,
AS the futures cares and duties
O'ergrow our pain and loss.
All, heart! DER the grave of yesterday,
Lies saddest flowers may bloom,
But never again shall the 10y birds sing,
Nor roses wait perfume.
Again the earth is regal
With gold and silver rare,
And again the sorrowfu, asters
Wave in the Autumn air.
From woe and pain, my darling,
Hath gained sweet release,
She presses the golden lilies
On the silver shores Of Peace!

The Eren'a9 Journal is to be congratulated
upon novel and exceptional distinction. Its
issue Of last evening did not contain BEECH
Ka's name in the telegraph columns, and, if
the subject had been avoided editorially, his
name would not have been printed in the en-

The Council having passed somewhat
ambiguous resolution relative to the use of
firearms and fireworks tomorrow, when the
Fourth is to- be celebrated By the public
Offices, banks, and small boys, we hope that
it will be construed in the strictest manner
possible, aud that accident and fire may be
averted by the police. This can be done By
enforcing the prohibition Of the firing Of
crackers, pistols, ETC., in the streets, and
forcing the enthusiastic ce1ebrants into the
parks and public places, The Board of Po-
hce and Superintendent REHx should bury
the hatchet for one day and join in the effort
to save life and property.
