attention and honor which Il paid 60
the deacon and his Office is the stand
ard of rising or falling clutch. In
the primitive church there was q spirit
OF love, Of vigorous activity and great
hberality. They held that their prop
eity was the Lords, for the use Of his
church whenever and wherever needed.
But still there was no 'ssbsolute COM
manity" of goods for the supply OF all
alike. The Greek words bear NO such
construction (Acts Ill, 4a-6I and
the Lord sanctions no such doiugs.
The members of the church held their
property IN trust for the Lord and his
chnrch whenever that property might
be needed for the use OF that church.
The piety Of her pure spirituality
created the Office of deacon to meet \
necessary demand of the church. In
their Serving of tables" il was not ex.
pected that they would merely sweep
up crumbs after the disciples were full,
for these would not have fed the
poor, or supported the church, or sus-
tanned the ministry, or sent abroad the
missionaries who were so soon to 90,
through the order of the church, by
the call of the Spirit, to preach the
gospel to the heathen-and then,
through the lapse of time, over the
barren and sterile waste ofithe centuries
to you and to me.
May the membership Of our own
Presbyterian Church, which, in doc
trine and government, discipline and
worship, is as pretty as the picture
which stands in the record, even emu
late these primitive disciples, in labor
and love and liberality.

CoRN.-The Galveston Necs of the
fra: inst. says that the cheapest rate at
which corn can be placed in Galveston
from Kansas and Missouri is estimated
ut fifty two cents husAel. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that CON this season
can be purchased in almost any puuty
in the State at thirty cents bushel,
and perhaps even lower than that
when bought in large quantities. Al.
lowing ten cents a bushcl freight to
Galveston, and Texas corn would have
an advantage of twelve cents a busheI
over corn raised in tho States named
above. The prevailing price of corn
in Galveston now is from fifiy-eight to
sixty.two cents, which leaves good
margin for the handlers and the Texas
railroads. There will be an immense
corn crop raised in this section this
year, and steps should be- taken for
establishing a market for 1t in Austin.
A market should also be established
here for wheat and oats, and it is nohe
too soon for some man OF company to
announce readiness to buy grain.
There are plenty of buildings on Pecan
street and elsewhere suitable for ware
houses, andiall that is necessary is for
some one with money TO shove cut q
single. Why not have grain buyers
in Austin As we'll as cotton, wool aud
hide buyersl This section has become
agrain country, AMI therefore there is
an urgent demand for grain buyers.
Let us have them.
