Be Not Weary.

THE secret power underlying the ef-
forts of our leading laymen in the land is
not scholarship, nor deeper piety than
other men, but a steady persistence and
untiring devotion to Christian work.
When an accession to the church means
undying activity, unwearied service, then
will the cause We love on with a
majestic march hitherto unknown. We
know of a lay preacher who for twenty
five years has been possessed with this one
idea, "the winning of SOULS" and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific his influence
has been felt. Engaged year after year in
daily service, holding hundreds if not
thousands of meetings yearly, one would
naturally look for a 'holding up" in
service. But these are his words, just
written after these years of toll: "Inthis
one State of Wisconsin l have in the last
seven weeks reaped enough of the foot
sore sowing, the wearisome walks of
thousands OF miles, through these valleys
and through the wilds of the numbering
regions, in secret service for the Lamb of
God, to understand something of the mean
ing, Sow in tears, reap in joy The
service is a luxurious luxury; it is joy I'M
speakable; with much of detail, much of
dry, u%npromising work, there is ever the
mile of our Father resting upon me-"
The churches are rich in devoted men
and women, whose hearts are right, but
who lack devotion to the idea, "Mis n
MingI do" We need to utilize the forces
at u command, and bring into action the
dormant power that might, If reused,
move the world.-"S. f.. b." in N. Y.

G.. II. HAsELToN, of Greenboro, VT, has
a little girl, four years old, who, when
about three months old, fell off the bed,
striking on the back of her head, hurting
her severely. Very soon after this her
head began to grow quite rapidly, and in
three months had increased nine inches in
circumference. All efforts to arrest the
growth proved futile. The head now
measures twenty-six and a half inches one
way and twenty-fou and three-fourths
inches the other. The expansion of the
head seems to be all above the eyes.

in the Ohio river, and witnesses OF the
action of Capt. Geo. w. LennoX and his
crew in the midst of the excitement OF
the collision. whereby the lives and crew
OF the unfortunate steamboat were
saved.
Resoleed. That we take pleasure in tes-
tiiying to the GOODNESS and exercise of
excellent judgment on the part OF Capt.
LennoX. and the admirable manner in
which the officers of the Grand Tower
made instant efforts to save valuable
lives. At the time OF the accident but
few of the passengers had retired. the
majority being cognizant OF all the facts
in the case. and we are satisfied from this
personal knowledge that no blame can be
attached TO any officer OF the steamer
Grand Tower, the collision being una
voidable. When it occurred. and the
bow of the Grand Tower entered the hull
of the Shippers Own, Capt. LennoX i'm
mediately ordered his own steamer
to remain stationary, whereby
the gap was filled, preventing the
injured steamer from 80 quickly fill
ing. and enabling most OF the passengers
and crew TO escape TO the Grand Tower.
Then, Is the Shippers Own careened in
sinking, he promptly backed the Graud
Tower 10 avoid injury 10 his own boat
from the sinking steamer, and with
equal discretion and promptness came
to her again TO take of all who had been
left on board, whereby, we believe, there
was no lives lost by reason OF the unfor-
tunate accident. We cannot too highly
compliment Captain Lennox and his oil.
GERS and crew for their courteous and
kindly care for the comfort and enjoy
ment of their passengers, and it is but
justice to honor them for their GOODNESS
and Judgment in the time OF the excite
ment and danger.
Resslesd, That q copy OF these resolu-
tons be given 10 Capt. IennoX for him

copy lie sent to the president of the line,

The New York San. heralded by the
Republican press as one of the wander
ing sheep OF Republicanism that had
been called back into the fold by the
nomination of Hayes and Wheeler at
Cincinnati, speaks out in meeting
about the ticket thus : "llaycs' respec-
liability cannot be made a cloak to cover
up such fostering Republican sores as
Belknap, Babcock... Robson and
Blaine. The people will not forget that
the party which dominates Hayes is the
one which has fostered Grantism and
brought disgrace on the American
name. There can be no effective reform
so long as the Republican party is in
with its well-oiled machinery kept run
ming by an army of oliice-holders."
This does not look like abandonment
of its opposition to Republicanlsm by
the San.
