convinced he can do nothing as long
as Yardley remains on the track, and
thinks the man-and-brother will stick.
He admits that Porter cannot be beat
en- in the present condition of affairs,
and says the only way to beat him at
all Is for Iardley to quit and Thomas
to run on. He says the Republican
leaders promised him the solid sup
port of the party, and that no Inde>

Iardley was bought up by the Dem

ago a mother and her son came to Canton

speaking the Mandarin language live, to the
number of about $4,000. Some seats were
placed in the front room of the house, and q
notice put up on the door inviting those tc
enter who wished to hear the gospel. The
mother goes from house to house to conversl

applied to them. We try to train and bless
our children while we live. But when We
die, what then ? Perhaps we die and leave
them afar off from God. What then? Are
we never to see them more? Will they per.

all eternity! Nay, believe no such thing

the covenant. 1t is no presumption. 1t is
the " "boldness" of the faith which our God
commands US to exercise. But if | reject

children, | have no right to that boldness.

when the covenant was first made, God gave
positive warning (Gen. xvii 14.) that He
would not recognize as child of His Gov
enant any one who did not bear the cove
nant token. We do not find that warning
repeated in the gospel, which is of larger
privilege than the old dispensatiOn. Yet
when God proposes covenant to US, and
We will not show acceptance it, it follows
as matter of course, that we cannot claim
its blessings as those can who do show their
acceptance of it. In rejecting the covenant,
hope is found upon what we desire for our
children. But in accepting it, hope is founded
upon sOhat God has promised. And that is
the difference. Is it insignificant?

a Parish Incident.

In rural Presbyterian congregation in
the western section of Canada, the people,
for various reasons, were desirous Of change
in the pastorate. A meeting was called to
consider how the desired change could be
effected. All were agreed that though the
pastor was learned, laborious, amiable,. and
excellent man, he was exceedingly prosy and
uninteresting as a preacher. 1t was resolved,
therefore, that deputation should be sent
respectfully to ask him to demit his charge.
No one was ready to undertake the difficult
and delicate task. At last two elders were
induced to 60 and talk with the minister
about the matter. They went On their mis-
sion with no little trepidation, but we're
greatly relieved by the cordial manner in
which the good minister received them. He
listened quietly to their hesitatingly told
story, and at once acquiesced in their desire
that he would resign. Elated with their sue
cess, they FASTENED to report the results to
the people. All were greatly gratifed at the
prospect of such an amicable arrangement;
and feeling some sense of gratitude to the
minister for SO many years of service, and
especially for his ready compliance with their
wishes, they determined to present him with
an address and purse. A public meeting
of the congregation was held, at which the
pastor was invited 10 be present, an address
was read to him containing strong expires.
sons Of appreciation and gratitude for bis
me nifOld labors and Of strong personal affec-
ton for Ii nself and the purse was handed
to him as token of their continued esteem.
On rising to reply, the pastor was deeply
moved, and spoke with a faItering voice. He
stated that, influenced by the statements of
the elders who had called on him, he had re-
solved, at much expense of feeling to him
self, to resign his charge. Pausing for a
minute, as if overcome with emotion-not
few of the tender hearted betraying their
sympathy with him-he went on to say that
in view Of the affectionate and touching ad-
dress he had just received, so numerously
signed, and accompanied by so generous a
gift, he felt constrained to abandon his pur-
pose, and would therefore remain with them,
and devote his future life to the best inter-
ests of people who we're so warmly attached
to him, and who 50 highly valued his humble
services.
The reply was SO obviously dictated by
genuine simplicity that no one at the time
had the courage to rise and explain. That
minister is still pastor Of the same parish
The incident transpired some ten or twelve
years ago, and contains good moral.
