THE ARK.


"And the Lord said unto Noah, come
thou aud all thy house into the ark, for thee
have seen righteous before me III this gen
ration" When God speaks we want to
listen This text is from his own lips; they
ar. his own words. 1t was the voice of
mercy. God called Noah out of world
that must be destroyed, and one hundred
aud twenty years before Noah had received
the most awful communication that had
ever come from heaven to earth. God had
told him that he was going to destroy the
world. The world was so corrupt. lie Is
coming to rise in judgment, but he canfe
first in mercy. These antediluvians were
warned. Noah's building that ark right be-
fore them for one hundred and twenty years
was warning to them. But they didn't
believe the word of God. They said God
could not destroy the world if he wanted to.
Noah told them that the deluge would come,
hut they did not believe it; they could not
see any sign of storm. But Noah knew
that God would come and Judge the world
in righteousness, and all those one hundred
and twenty years he preached righteousness.
Not man outside of his own family be-
leved him. The carpenters didn't believe
in him, and YOU can see them in billiard sa
looms scoffng at him and iidiculing him
But they worked for him because he paid
as well as any one else, and it was money
they were after. They cared nothing fol
Noah. There were probably "A great many
visitors to it, and they made sport about it
and if they had performances, and | don't
doubt they did, you would see that ark rep
resented at them.
Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1877-04-11

People said they would not be influenced
by that fanatic that was going out of his
mind. Some one said that Noah must have
been deaf that he did not hear this scotiing,
but il he were deaf he could hear the voice
of God, and he obeyed it. One hundred years
passed and there was no sign of the deluge.
They said, there is no sign OF its coming, and
Noah has been telling this for one hundred
Years. Where are the signs of the coming
storm? Methusaleh told them nothing about
it. Yet the old Ihan toiled on until it was
flushed. The people continued to laugh,
They said they never were mole prosperous.
If God was going to destroy the world, why
did he let them prosper as they were doing Z
When the ark was finished Noah moved into
it. As long as he remained outside of 1t
they did not mind it so much, but when he
moved into it they were somewhat aston
ished, and some of his neighbors wanted to
know what he was going to do with his old
homestead. And he said, "Any one may
have it, for God is going to destroy the
world" And men reason that way now.
| They say, " If these things you preach are
true, why don't the whole world believe
There are great many who don't believe it,
aud they think because the world don't be

warnings in the Bible are just to frighten q

STRANGE SIGHTS TO MAN.
But Noah moves along, aud the first thing
that alarmed them, | can imagine, was on'
morning they got up aud the heavens wer'
black with fowls of the air. They wer'
coming from the forests and all the quarters
of the earth, flying toward the refuge anC
Noah was taking them in Up out of thu
caves came the lions aud tigers and wolve
and wild animals of the forest, two by two
the tiger and the lamb and the lion went in
side by side, and Noah took them all in
And as they looked on the earth they saw
the little insects crawling up, two by two

WHY STAND YB IDLY WAITING 2"

Myriads of women who yearn for the
triumph of the movement that is to
elevate their sex and give them large
and yet larger opportunities to exercise
their God-given capabilities, stand wait
ing-waiting for others to till the stub
born soil and SOW the seeds that they
expect to harvest after the fiercest of the
labor is accomplished. With seemingly
no sympathy for the weary workers in
the van of the unequal strife, they ex-
pect much for themselves when the
work shall have been fairly accom-
plished. Many of them lack the moral
courage to defend their principles when
attacked or speak good word for the
outspoken friends of progress when
they are assailed, as they so frequently
are, by calumny, malice, and all un-
eharitableness. They simply stand idly
by, expecting to reap in peace and Sc
curity that which others with "sore pri-
walton, toll, and tears'' have sown. If
these would lay aside their armor of
sel6shness, and recognizing the great
need of the hour, come bravely to the
help of the weak against the mighty,
the work that now burdens so painfully
a comparative few would be carried at
once to triumphant close. Listen, sis
tiers, to the words of Adelaide Proctor /:
Rise from your dreams of the future
OF gaining some hard-fought field;
Of suorming some air fortress,
Or bidding some giant yield;
Your future has deeds of glory,
OF honor God grant it may!
But your arm will never be stronger,
Or the need so great as To day.

RECENT EVENTS.

War between Russia and Turkey
seems inevitable. A manifesto of war
from the former government is daily
looked for.
The President is constantly receiving
letters from all parts of the country,
representing both political parties ap-
proving his policy.
Orders have been received discharg-
ing all the hands in the construction
and steam engineering department at
Portsmouth navy yard.
Nine ladies, including Miss L. ]. Kel-
logg, of California, graduated at the an
nual commencement of the New York
Medical College for women, on the 9th
inst.
1t is generally believed that the Presi-
dent will within week or ten days is
sue a proclamation, calling an extra
session of Congress to assemble about
the middle of May.
Senator Jones, who has just completed
his final report on the silver question,
says he is going almost Immediately to
the Pacific Coast, to return for the ex-
pected special session of Congress.
On the 9th inst. the New England
conference of the Methodist Church
adopted a resolution expressive of grati-
tude to President Hayes and lady for
banishing liquor from public and pri-
vate receptions.
The Tribune prints an interview with
Sheriff Connor on the story of Tweed's
escape. Connor spent six thousand dol
lars trying to recapture Tweed. Every
inch of ground in New Jersey where
Tweed was alleged 10 be in hiding was
carefully searched.
The United States Supreme Court
has reversed the decision of the lower
court in the Centennial appropriation
case, and decided that $1,5OO, 900 appro-
priated by Congress shall be returned
to the government before any dividends
are paid the stockholders.
Since President Hayes came into of
flee, two clerks have been kept busy al
the White House briefing and indeXing
applications for and recommendation
to office. Over 1900 applications have
been received by the President, exclu-
sive of those received by the Cabinet.
General and Mrs. Grant visited Ga.
lena, Illinois, and received few friends
on the evening of the 9th, at the resi-.
dence of Captain Estry. In response to
call, the General expressed himself
gratified to return after an absence o
sixteen years of official life, as Zone oi
the sovereigns of the great Republic"
Ex-Secretary Robson asserts that the
money for the sale of the Philadelphia
navy yard will be found properly &C.
counted for. He says the trouble is
that the bureau of yards and dock;
thought it was entitled to be credited
with the proceeds of the sale, whereas il
was distributed among the various bu-
reaus.

WOMEN AND PREACHING.

During the heat of the debate iu
a recent convention of masculine min
listers concerning an afterwards re-
scinded invitation to invite Rev. Miss
Oliver to preach before them, the Rev.
Mr.. Buckley, who led the party in op-
position to the lady, said that the "pre-
vailing desire to run after female preach
ers was the alteration of amative-
ness" There was much excitement,
and the result of the vote to rescind the
invitation was applauded to the echo by
the pious CALCULATIONS of many thick
necked masculines.
Ever since woman first began her
struggle for freedom there have been
men who have sought to remand her
back to the animal position 1--WE beg
pardon of the animalsl where their ANA
tive abberrations long ago placed her,
but we were hardly prepared to see
clergymen making so public a confess
sion as the above. The world moves,
however, and these improved "abberra-
tions" will go on until woman shall no
longer be the sexual slave of man, but
his helper and co-worker everywhere.

Firmness in the Right Place.
J. w. KINGSlAN

The friends of temperance are likely
to find a stauch advocate of temperance
laws, at least, in Secretary Sherman.
A dispatch of the 9th inst. says:
Secretary Sherman has established
precedent for the disposition of all prop
Ositions looking to compromise of
whisky suits, large number of which
are now pending before the Treasury De-
partment. He has taken up the first
case presented which is proposition to
relieve sureties from all responsibility
upon payment of a mere nominal sum.
After reciting the history and quoting
the law, the Secretary, in his letter,
says: "The tax on whisky is so large in
proportion to the value of the article
manufactured that it furnishes the
strength of the temptation to evade the
law, and taxation can only be collected
by strict enforcement. The law is Sc
we're in its penalties, and must be Sc
verely enforced. This is followed in all
countries where similar excise tax is
levied. A sympathy for defendants who
are sureties will not justify the Secre-
tary in relieving them from Judgment,
when, by so doing, he will defeat wise
public policy for the enforcement of the
revenue laws. This is not a mere
claim such as is contemplated by the
section, but is a judgment confessed
upon a bond clearly violated by the
commission of great crime by the
principal. If the judgment cannot be
collected, these sureties are injured,
while the release of the judgment would
be an evil example. If the Secretary
errs in this, Congress can grant the nee
essary relief If the law is wrong or too
severe, Congress can remedy it. But,
charged as he is with the execution Of
the revenue laws, the Secretary must
insist upon their strict enforcement, and
must refuse to yield to appeals to relieve
these defendants from their liability"

ENTERPRISE,

J. c. Crawford, Esq, the enterprising
photographer of Harrisburg, is out with
the Photographic Nea0s, neat little
publication upon which he is his own
editor, type-setter, local, pressman and
foreman. In addition to his labors in
this line and the custom work of his
gallery, Mr.. Crawford keeps on sale sew
eral dozen very fine sterescopic views of
Oregon scenery, for which he has already
found many extensive sales. Those Or
egonians who wish to encourage immI-
grafton cannot do better than to send
these views to their friends in the East.

WOman'S Words, "an original review
of what the sex is doing" published at
Philadelphia by Mrs. Juan Lewis, comes
to us bright, sensible, and breezy. The
first page of the first number is embel-
lished by portrait of Lucretia Mott,
"the woman philanthropist, humani-
tartan, and Quaker preacher" whose
name is a household word all over the
Continent, and whose sweet, womanly
face appeals no less than her eloquent,
womanly words to the heart of human
ity. The articles presented in the first
number are mostly written by persons
not unknown to literary fame, and
speak clearly of "what the sex is do
ing" The price of the paper is 81 90
per year. Address Mrs. Juan Lewis, 625
Walnut street, Philadelphia.
