The visit of these eminent eyangelists to
our city cannot fail to fill very important
page in the religious history of Burlington
Some have wondered how it came to pass
that men for whose audiences the largest
churches in the largest cities OF two contl-
nents have proved far too small, should come
to our small country city to labor for an en-
tire month. 1t is not, certainly, that their
services have ceased to be in demand in much
larger places. The simple explanation, we
believe, is that Mr.. Moody has felt so Sc
verely the strain of his powers in the great
cities, that he desired to confine himself this
Winter to places where he would not be re-
quired to fill great tabernacles with his
voice, or to undertake the effort OF address
ing audiences of from five thousand to ten
thousand souls. lie decided to work for the
coming months in New England and hay
ing received pleasant impressions OF Bur
lington in two brief previous visits here, he
willingly accepted the invitation hither.
OF course, no heralding of ours is needed,
for the cvangelists. They will draw to
our city thousands of hearers from other
places around US, and the only question Is
whether our largest churches can begin to
accommodate the numbers that will wish to
hear them. They will deserve. and will
have, hearty welcome, NOT because they
have been listened to elsewhere by hundreds
of thousands not because prelates and titled
ed mobiles of Church and State have stood by
them on the platform in England, and the
most eminent Christian clerical and lay
workers in America have been proud to
work under and with them; but because
they come to do us all good-to call atten-
ton to mans higher needs, and develop his
higher nature to lift US out of the plane OF
common life, into that Of the great truths
of the other life; to point men, who can
not save themselves to him who is mighty to
save; to fill up our churches. of all denom-
nations; and, under God, to help all good
purposes and plans and enterprises.

hideous load that he bound himself to carry.
For long time to his intimates the man 5
face has shown that he was bearing some
secret sorrow. The forgeries brought to
light at this time, however, do not date
back of a year or year and half ago.
Gilman is believed to be hiding in New
York somewhere and his wife and sisters
have made a proposition to the sufferers by
the forgeries to make over to them all the
property owned by the wife and sisters
amounting to about $4,000, provided that
Gilman shall not be prosecuted crlminally.

Monday, the shares of the Panama railroad,
which have been gradually working up from
100 to lis during several weeks past, we're
suddenly bid up to 40, without bringing
out stock or forcing any shorts into the mar
ket as purchasers. As far as can be ascer-
tanned, no one is largely short except Jay
Gould, and it is said that he has borrowed
his stock on time, so it would be very diff
cult, if not impossible, to force him to cover.
Gen. Baxter and Trenor W. Park are said TO
be the leading bulls, and their stock, with
that of their friends, is tied up in banks with
good margins.

The Masonic OATu AND RELIGIoN.-Free-
masonry has grown into considerable power
and prominence again in this country, and
now lays the corner-stones of public build
incs and of soldiers monuments with
solemnity and pomp which win lively ad-
miration, while it includes not an insign:f-
cant proportion OF men Of consequence and
character in almost every large community.
1t is hard work to fancy society again rising
to prescribe and suppress the order, as
league of criminals and enemies to the re-
public, as it did fifty years ago in this eoun-
try. 1t is equally hard to sympathze with
the Roman Catholics, to whom the order is
bette noir of uncommon magnitude. In
deed, the things which draw upon 1t the
hatred of the Roman hierarchy commend it
to Republican sympathies, for it is to the
Masons, more than to any other cause, that
the papal party in Italy attribute the spread
of the idea of liberty. and the courage OF
that idea among the people, which has
made them nation. The Roman Catholic
papers see in Missionary the bitter foe OF
religion, and give accounts OF its impious
oaths and corrupt ceremonies which are GER
tainlv appalling and We suppose that In
Europe it does assume the character OF the
enemy of priestly as well as other tyrants.
Here, however, we find nothing alarming in
the Masons,-except a few people who have
formed an Anti Oath Bound Society Asso-
ciation' Tor words to that effect), and meet
occasionally to send out narrowing appeals.

Phelps of the Mississippi delta and Vermont,
for he pours forth. by way OF the Boston
Glo5e, an earnest adjuration TO the Eplsco-
pal convention on the subject. Let them
look upon their 39th article, "Of Chris
tian Mans Oath" for "if that article, were
religiously maintained no member OF the
Episcopal church organization could ever ad-
minister or receive such oaths as those which
are in use by the Masonic lodges" Masonic
oaths are "unscriptural. extra, judicial, rash
and vain, "void of justice, Judgment and
truth, and "serye the purposes OF intlmi-
dation, of imposing assessments for wrong
purposes, of inspiring hate and distrust and
circumventing law and destroying the moral
sensibilities of the community. This
sounds like a scrap of the "Down-with-the-
Masons :" eloquence Of the Morgan times
perhaps Gen Phelps made that campaign.
We do not hear what the Episcopalians are
going to do about it,-but it appears to be
the generals desire that the convention
should pass canon against Masonry, with
accommodation as the penalty for mem
Der who thereafter takes Masonic oath, or
keeps one he has already taken. Perhaps it
would be well also to curse such a one with
bell, book and candle Springfield RePubii-

and many live from "hand to MOUTH
laying up nothing against the day of
sickness and loss of employment. This
poverty is intensified by the thousands
OF liquor saloons they maintain. These
stand open for business at all times
nights and Sundays not excepted
swallowing up the hard earnings Of
thousands of poor men, and as return
for such earnings running both body
and soul. Yet even amidst such cir
cun1stances there are many who main
tain brave struggle against the hard
ships and temptations of life and live
true and honest lives in spite of them.
Frugal, Industrious and frequently in
telllgent people are always true loyal
citizens. But with a great mass it is
misunderstanding their money as
fast as they earn it-acQuiring no
homes of their own, living in rented
tenements, apt to be turned out of doors
whenever hard times come, becoming
paupers at the first shock Of adversity.
Is it any wonder that under the lead of
demagogues they raise the cry of COM
munism and demand the most revolu-
tionary changes. These are enforced
by thousands of reckless, vicious men
determined to live by their wits or
crimes-and aided by the lax enforce
ment Of the law, find the large cities
the best fields to operate in.
This we firmly believe to be the
greatest source of national weakness.
and any scheme we'll carried out that
shall close the saloons on the sabbath
and thereby prevent the immense
squandering Of wages on that day and
at the same time shall give the people
