B. Y.-No other explanation than is afforded
By the cruci6xion OF Christ and the kindred
treatment of Gods ministers. prophets and saints
in all ages
II. G.-I know that new sect is always des.
cried and traduced that 1t is hardly ever Deem
ed respectable to belong to one; that the Bap-
lists, Quakers, Methodsts, Universalists, ETC.,
have each in their turn been regarded. in the in
fancy CT their Sect as the Oscouring of the earth
yet cannot remember that either Of them were
ever generally represented and Sagarded by the
older sects of their early days, as thieves, rob-
beers. mu.derers.
B. Y.-Ii you will consult the contemporary
Jewish accouuIs Of the life and acts of Jesus
Christ, you will 6ud that He aud HIS disciples
were accused of every ahominabie deed and pur-
pose, robbery and murder included. Such work
is still extant, and may be found by those who
seek il.
II. G-What do you say of the so.called Dan.
ties, or destroying Angels. belonging to your
church,
B. Y.-Whst do you say l know Of no such
band, no such persons or organization. hear
OF them only in the SANDERS Of our enemies.
II. G.-With regard then, TO the grave ques.
ton on which your doctrines and practices are
avowedly at war with those Of the Christian
word-that of plurality Of wlves-is the sys-
tenn of your church acceptable 10 the majority Of
ITS women?
Y.-They could not be more averse to 1t
than | was when it was first revealed 10 me as
the Divine will. think they generally accept
it, as | do. as the will of God.
Ii. Glow general is polygamy among you

Ii. G.-Does not the Apostle Paul say that a
bishop should be husband of one wife?
b. Y.-So we hold We do not regard any

having more wives than one.
Ii. G.-Does not Christ say that be who puts
away his wife, or marries whom another has

B. Yves, and hold that no man should
ever put away wife except for adultery-not

India,s Famine.

The facts regarding the Indian famine are
heartrending. Some 300o0,0 900 people live in
the famine belt aud of these 100000 are ex-
pected to die. But pestilencs follows famine,
and the mortality will be much greater than this
estimate. In Ireland. with population Of g.
100000 only, nearly 100000 persisted by famine
and pestience, in lS464s. although Great Brit.
ian. with all its wealth. was within a stones
throw, so to speak. and Europe. populous and
generous, IVES almost within hailing distance.
Now, if such mortality happened in the case Of
ireland, with its small population and favorable
conditions OF climate, backed by the vigorous
health of its people, what may be expected
among the feeble apd ensrvated people of south
ern India? The British government has done.
aud is doing its utmost to meet the emergency
Tut it is impossible to find bread and medical
attendance for 50 many human beings, all Urgent
ly requiring aid. India has been accustomed to
famines and pestilence, but never before have
its rulers displayed the humanity which now
characterizes British rule. There have been
faults in English administration in India, but
with all its arrogance it has been bene6cent
The natives OF that vast country have prospered
under it; and the outcome OF this famine may
be radical change in Its land tenure just as the
lncumbered Estates Court broke up the land
monopoly IN lreani after the famine there.

A Pie.Ous Epitaph.

The following curious epitaph records the sad
fate Of youth who lost his life by too free in
diligence in fruit pie:
C4rrdnts have checked the current of my blood,
And berries brought me to be buried here;
Pears have par'd of my body's hardihood.
Aud plum. and plumbers spare not one spare.
Fam would Jeign my fall SO fair fare
Lessons not hate. yet Ills lesson good.
Gilt will not long hide guilt. such thin washed
Wears quickly, and its rude touch soon is rued.
Craze on my grace some sentence grove and terse
That lies not as it lies upon my clay.
But in some gentle strain of uasirained verse,
Prays all to pity poor patty's prey.
Rekearses was fruitful to my hearse.
Tells that my days told and soon L m tod away.

Another thing the drunkard must
suffer was the loss Of his home. Mr..

The torture of the drunkard here
after, Mr.. Talmage said, would be
not darkness nor fire nor the rack OF

He pictured the return Of the iend
upon an occasion after a journey to
fetch q drunkard. The fiend by &C.

"One cries out, "Ha! ha! that's rum ~

Mr.. Talmage thought "if we could
