Not long since in these columns, we gave
some Of the reasons why the committee ap-
pointed to select steamer for Linn Engine
Company, No, 2, selected an engine OF the
Clapp s Jones manufacture. As q further
evidence that the committee did not err in
their selection we give below a copy of the
report of competitive trial of the princi-
pal steam FIRE engines in the 1ues depart
suent of the District of Columbia, which,
occurred In Washington City, January 18th,
1876. We find the report in the Washing
ton Cgtrontcle OF the 18th of january, the
day after the trial. Ye give the paras.
graphs as we find them:
The competitive trial of the representa-
tive steam fire engines of the District took
place on Monument lot, yesterday after
uoon. in the presence of large number of
spectators, Including the comnaissa01erS
and other fire officials. The new engine.
Thomas p. Morgan. No. e. (Clapp Sc

use OCCASION thus representing the works
of all the nlanufactaKfes WlI0sA engines are
in use in this city. The engines were
placed side by sisle and the hose stretched
toward the Presidents house. The water
was pOuapeu' rom BahcOck s Lake, anu
was torced through $50 feet of the new can
vas hose, with all inch aud a quarter nozzle.
The fires Ia esgtI Of the engines were light
ed at the same time, and the Morgan sue
ceeded in getting up steam first, notwith-
standing the fact that both the others had
started with hot water in their boilers.
The average pressure Of steam employed
on each engine was Is follows: Morgan,
lis pOuntlss Bowen. us pouh,ls. and the
Addison. ITO pounds. The distance made
by each engine, according to official meas
ureInent Was Morgan 2O9 feet Adsli-
son, 164 feet aud inches Bowen, 142
feet and inches the Morgan beating the
second best by A feet and 4 inebess The
: test WAS very satisfactory one and devel-
oped the superiority Of the new engine IN
force and equality of stream. The regular
and unvarying character of its stream was
the subject Of general admiration.
During the trial aa accident occurred to
the Henry Addison. which created no ffttle
excitement. but did no dainage further than
to temporarily suspend its operations

There is probably no subject of more
Importance to the children of the Kingdom
Of Christ, than that to which we wish. In
these lines. to call their attention.
They that gladly received the Word at
the day of pentacost, and were baptized
upon the reception thereof. continued stead
fast in the apostles doctrine and fellow
ship, in breaking of bread. and in prayer.
ETC., Here lies the foundation of all Chris
tan, union. Where the word of the Lord
Is rejected, or is not gladly reeeiveds there
IS no scriptural ground for christian fellow
ship; but where the word OF life has been
gladly received. as on that memorable day.
and sinners, qttickened by its almighty
power. have bowed their necks 10 weaf the
yoke of Jesus, and in holy ortiinance Of bap-
tism have put it on, and do. ike those
primitive Baptisis. continue in the apostles
doctrine. true gospel fellowship must and
will Invariably follow. They not only con-
tinued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine,
but equally steadfast In the apostles fellow
ship among themselves. And while abitl-
ing in the doctrine and fellowship OF the
apostles of the Lamb, the saints are pre-
pared to travel harmoniously IN the break
ing of bread and social worship, but under
no circumstances are the saints at liberty
to extend their fellowship where there Is
not hearty reception of the Word, 1t faith
and practice, and a steadfast continuance
In the apostles. doctrine. The moment our
| fellowship exceeds these New Testament
limits. It ceases to be Christian union or
gospel fellowship, and becomes wicked
perversion of the Word-a mere giving OF
fiattcring titles one to another. Called
with heavenly vocation, by one spirit, ant.
in one hope of their calling, having one
Lord, one faith, one baptism and one God
and Father of all, the saints are not only
prepared to adhere strictly to the doctrine
and practice of the gospel as ordained by
Christ and taught by his inspired apUstles,
but also to keep the unity of the spirit in
the bond of peace to bear one ancther.s
burdens. and so fulfill the law Of Christ
Under such circumstances it is not only
lawful but expedient that Christians should
exhort oneanother to cherish an unteigned
love and Christian regard for the happiness
and spiritual growth of the Kings royal
family. No subject is of more vital impor.
tance to tile church of God. So we see tht
necessity of gaurtling against the influence
of anything in doctrine or practice that i
calculated to sever these blessed bonds
but we should never be unmindfitl that i
is Satah's masterpiece to lead us, Il possible
to incorporate within the embrace of on
fellowship and union. something that i
not found within the limits OF the apostles
doctrine. and thereby to peryert our unios
and subyert orr hearts. Beware of him
