will be an abundance of that secret
skepticism which steels the human heart
against Gods glorious Gospel. 1t is for
this very reason that so much of the
Roadway gained by Sabbath eloquence
is lost during the other six days of coun-
teracting influence. One day of good
preaching is no match for six days of
inconsistent practice. God will never
honor his church with complete success
until it completely honors him.
This brings me to the third answer to
our question. The highest reason for
being a Christian is for Gods glory.
"Herein is my Father glOrifed" was
Christs supreme argument for Chris
tan life. The Westminster Assembly
only paraphrased this truth when they
defined mans chief end ''to glOrify God
and to enjoy him forever" The su-
preme teaching of the parable of the
PIOdigal Son is to set forth Gods de-
light in saving lost sinners. Gwen so
is there joy in the presence of the angels
of God over every sinner that repent
eth" The rescuing shepherd is far
happier even than the rescued sheep.
1t was for the jog set before him that
my Saviour endured the cross and de-
spised the shame. My salvation will
be jewel in his diadem. My life, if
live according to his beautiful teach
ings, will be trophy OF his cross. If
Isaac Newton was so supremely happy
at the completion of his great problem
that he could not eat or sleep, what
must be the rapture of Him who shall
yet "see of the travail of his SOUP and
be divinely satisfied? o brethren, we
shall understand what we were redeem
ed and sanctitied for when we behold
the glorified Lamb of God enthroned
amid the praises of his ransomed hosts.

Virginia City, Nevada.

Virginia City now has a population
of about twenty-five thousand, inclu-
uing One-half of the whole number of
voters in the State of Nevada. Few
pictures of it give a correct idea of its
position. In photographs it appears to
be at the foot of the mountain, while
it is in fact built across the mountains
face, and the peak that rises two thou
sand feet above it also extends two
thousand feet below it. 1t is so envi-
roned and confined by mountains that
the railway which connects it with the
Central Pacific at Reno has curves
enough to describe a circle of three
hundred degrees seventeen times the
distance to Reno in Decline is sixteen
miles, and the distance by the railway,
which cost two million dollars, is fifty
two miles.
The pitch of the ground is such that
what is the first story of house in
front becomes the second or third story
in the rear, and looking eastward,
nOrthward, OF southwark, the eye meets
an UNMARRIED prospect of chain after
chain of interlOcked peaks.
The people are ultra Californian in
their nature and habits, excessively
fond of display, lavishly hospitable,
impetuous in business, and irrepressible
in speculativeness. On Oct. 26, 1875, a
fire swept the city from end to end,
and ten million dollars worth of prop
erty, including all the mining works on
the surface, went up in the flames.
Within sixty days the most important
mines had renewed their buildings and
machinery and within six mnnths tho
whole city had been rebuilt.
To guard against recurrence of the
disaster, system of reservoirs and
hydrants was established, and it would
be easier now to flood the city than to

the quality and abundance of their
water supply. The works cost over
two million dollars, and the water is
brought a distance of thirty-one and a
half miles from Marlette's Lake, in the
Sierras.
What is the most surprising to the
stranger is the proportions of the con-
slant rushing crowd on G street, the
principal thOroughfare; and the cos
Piute and Washoe Indians in pic
turesque rags, Cinnamon in blue and
black blOuses, brawny Cornishmen, We

surge along the stream. There is moth
ing provincial or shabby. The stores
are well stocked, and the show windows
glitter with the attractiveness of their
wares. The men around you are men
of the world, who have travelled, and
in many instances made money.
The restaurants are not the least
among the marvels of Virginia City.

The second year of its

ceeded the previous year
by over Jtty.JiUe thousand

which it acquires a de-

The bottling machine is
alone able to fill t10o thous

brief statement it will be
seen that Messrs. WEEKS

upon the manufacture of
Sanford's Jamaica Ginger
in a manner that must in
time secure for them the
enormous trade in this
