be pure inventions. And in face of these fatal

4 Church QllgarchI.

A curious case of Protestant oligarchy
and tyranny has occurred in New York
city. The Collegiate Reformed Dutch Church
in that city, is an organization holding about
two million dollars worth of real estate,
besides its church property. 1t exists
under charter granted by William III.
in 1000, and is thus nearly two hundred
years old. In its growth it has divided into
three congregations, ,worshipping in as many
church edi6ces, and all entirely under the
charge, spiritually and temporarily. ofa Con-
sistory-a close corporation of deacons and
elders, who fill their own vacancies. The
three congregations Dr. Chambers, DIR.
Omissions, and DR.. Ludlow's} have no
voice in the election Of their deaeons and
elders. The Consistory elects them, and
the church knows who they are when their
names are read to them on the Sabbath.
Formerly, by system of rotation, the
pastors took turns in the different pulpits
that system drove DR.. Duryea away, and 1t
was abandoned. About year and hall
ago it was revived, in spite OF the
protests of DR.. Ludlow's people and in
spite of the discomfort of DR.. Ormis-
tons. The former church, being the new
est, was also the most independent, and
urged the Consistory to leave it in full pos
session of its beloved pastor. But the Con
sistorY, which is a non-representatiye anu
self-perpetuating body, like the Pope could
not retract. and, as the congregation per-
sisted, finally punished its refractory dispo-
sition by requesting the resignation of the
pastor. The request for statement of the
reasons was ignored. DR.. Ludlow has re-
signed; and his resignation has been fol
lowed by withdrawal of two-thirds of the
congregation to other churches which reeog-
nize the fact that worshipers have some
rights which ecclesiastics are bound to re-
spect. Dr. Ludlow carries with him the
hest wishes and warm affection Of his people
and Of his brother ministers in the city, of
every denomination. At church meeting,
on "Wednesday evening. the superintendent
of the Sabbathschool and all the working
comm ittees of the church resigned; and it
looks as if the Consistory would remain in
posse Ssion of n vacant church

. We will now consider the second obIec-
ton, that the use OF butter is Il cause OF tor
pidity of the liver.
1t is the special function of the liver to re-
move from the body substances of carbona-
ceous character. Hence, when butter, lard,
or other fat Is eaten, they nre carried by the
blood TO the liver for elimination. As the
organ has its due amount of labor to per
form under ordinary circumstances the ad-
ditional burden wearies it, and in the pro-
cess of time disabes it so that it becomes
inefficient and torpid.
3. That fat is product of disease is q fact
admitted by all reliable authorities. A per-
fectly healthy animal never becomes exces-
sively fat; and the process Of fattening hogs
and cattle is nothing less than Il method of
producing disease in them. II makes no diff
ference whether the fat produced is stored
up in different portions of the animals body
as tallow, or appears in the milk as butter
cream. Its real character is the same. Es-
pecially are these remarks trne of fat pro-
ducod under unnatural conditions Ii can
not be denied that a certain amount OF adj
pose tissue Is natural TO all animals in health;
but when the amount becomes excessive, or
the conditions of the animal improper, 1t
certainly becomes diseased product. The
milk Of stall-icd cattle partakes largely of
the character Of an cXcretion; and the butter
Is the most diseased portion of the whole. 1t
is often remarked that the milk of farrow
COW Is much richer than that of others. In
this case there cannot he the least doubt that
the milk becomes an avenue for the escape
OF carbonnceous impurities from the body of
the animal which appear as butter.
Again, II II COW Is suffering from any dis
ease. either acute or chronic, the butter
made from her milk must be- contaminated
10y the disease. No one can question this
statement who will reflect "a moment upou
the fact that any pungent root or herb can
not be eaten hy IA mich row without the
transmission oi the characteristic taste or
odor 10 the milk and butter.
I. Lastly, we contend that the use of but
ter Is not only injurious but wholly unneces-
sary. II II were an unavoidable evil we
would say, make the best of 1t lut il is a
practice Tor which there Is no demand on tho
part of the system. l. il snid that cnrbona-
ceous food Is necessary, tins does not neccs
state the use of butter; Tor the great bulk Of
our food is Of a cmhouaceuus character, and
supplies abundantly the wants Of the system
in this direction. Rice is more than four
fiiths, wheat is threc-iitths, and barley is
three-fourihs carbpnaceous. II it were true
then, that the system depended wholly for
its heat upon the supply of carhonaceous
food, 1T would still be unnecessary to make
use Of bntter Being then, useless as well
as harmful, what good reason for its use can
be advanced H'aH E,Ggmor

TEMPERANCE PARAGRAPHS.

The temperance revival is sweeping over
portions of New York In Elmira, over 3uOl
have signed the pledge In Corning 3ou
signed the pledge in one night. Nearly all
the workers are reformed drunkards.
The AS1Mus.-we find that great many
people are opposed to secret temperance so
cieties, they condemn the secret, and social
character Of these organizations, and they
say that evils grow out of them in many
ways. We have been led to ask, what is the
secret of this opposition? Is it because
tn, societies have grips and passwords, or
is it because they have the plank OF total alb
stinence in their platform! We believe that
total abstinence is the "cOlOred gentleman" i'll
the case, for the reason that these good peo-
pie have nothing to say against other socle-
ties. For us, secrecy has no special charm,
but We believe that there is in it n charm for
the young, and for many who are advanced
i'll years. To Christians and members of
open temperance societies We say deal ten
derly with these secret societies, they have
done vast amount of good, they labored
earnestly in the vineyard, while others were
standing idly by; and they will be at work
when reaction comes; they will stand at the
front when the shout OF final victory shall
ring along the lines and total abstinence shall

Gazette.
Your HoME.-There are may Christian
people and many proiessed temperance peo-
pie, who never think of helping the lodge.
division or temple, that may be located
among them. Why is this? is it because
these people are afraid to identity themselves
with the cause of temperance, or is it be
cause they are careless and indifferent about
the matter. Intempsfance is an enemy that
gives quarter to none, it is bent on the rum
of all. Some of these indifferent ones may
think that drunkard- making does no: con-
cern them. it may be that while they are de
luded by these thoughts their own sons may
be treading the downward road to ruin. If
father or mother favors lodge or any tenn
perance organization, that fact will exert II
good influence on the children. If a father
refuses to sign pledge, by that act he may
drive the first nail into the coffin OF his son.
We know father in certain village IN New
Jersey, who ridicules temperance organlza-
tions and who refused to sign the pledge;
that man S son is drlnkard, and the father
is largely responsible for the ruin of his
child. Our children are likely to follow our
example, especially when our example is bad.
The time has come for every man to ''set his
house in order" Does our influence en-
