Written for the Age.
Did God Create Enemies?

FRIEND MCMAsrER Not being
very hard driven in family cares, or
public responsibilities, hnd more time
to look into theological ,nysteries.-
In reading Brother Ballou's criticism
upon Adventism, | was awakened
and surprised to due reflection upon
the following quotation-"the last
enemy, death, shall be destroyed. And
when all things shall have been
"subdued' unto Him, so that God
shall be all, in all" When will edu.
Gated men and women learn to be
honest, outspoken and rational upon
the great theological questions Of the
day ? There never has been, nor is
there any approaching sign of agree
ment among the hundred and one
Protestant sects IN reference to the
God head and His wisdom and man,
agement toward the human family
This God spoken of, having enemies,
and having all things "subduea unto
Him." What an irrational, childlike
idea! INFINITE WISDOM, filling all
creation, seeing from the beginning to
the end Gf there could be a beginning
or end with lnfnity having war,
strife and enemies, In "subduing" his
o'cn created human beings that is,
w"en He gets the mastery, has ''sub.
dued" his own finite creations. Then
He is to be God. able to take parental
care, and provide for His o'cn aciSe
creations. Questions Can God be
more, or less in all time, past or future ?
Could there be time when God was
not "all, in all ? Could Infinite good.
ness, power and wisdom have au
enemy, resisting power or opposi
ton of any shape or form? If God
of the past has created beings of suf-
ticient power to need "subdulng,"
what assurance have pe, that the like
will not happen many times in the
uuending future

quote. If / had room, I would write
out all the texts above r.terred to, but
/ have not and I sincerely hope you
will take the New Testament and
reaG and examine them carefully
They are nearly all the passages where
the time of Christs coming in his king
dom is spoken OF. and there are nc
other passages to contradic: them
You may draw differences, but youl
interences amount to nothing, as
against the plain, unfgurative declara
tions Of Christ himself, that the time
of the coming Of himself and his king
dom was at hand, 1900 years ago, and
that "that generation Of men" then
living should not pass away until hi*
coming should take place "He came
in the flesh toward the end OF the
Jewish age. Heb 9: 2G; but at
the complete end OF that age, ard at
the commencement of tie gospel age.
he came in his mediatorial and Judi
clal reign, to judge "aIl nations" all
people, "the quick and the dead" but
there is no judgment after the resur
recton Ia the future state. He has
been sitting on "the throne Of his
glory ever since judging men by his
spirit, his word, his truth, and the
principles of his gospel. and reward
ing all according to their works, both
good and bad. He has been judging
the world ever since his kingdom wa:
established in the world, and will con,
tinue this work until the erd mention,
ed in 1st Cor. 15 "a. That is the
close OF his reign, and all will then be
alive in Christ, being reconciled, say
cd, holy and happy, and "God be al
IN aN." His kingdom or reign is not
Of this world, but is spiritual in its
nature. "Say not 10 Lere or 10 there,
for behold the kingdom of God is with
in you" Luke II: 21.
Mr.. Editor, | want to write about
two more articles in order tonotice all

with your leave. Yours &c,

Manners.

Men succeed in their profession
quite as much by compaisance and
kiEdliness Of manner as by talent
Demosthenes, in giving his we'll
known advice to an ora.oy-that
eioquence consisted in three things,
the fist "action," the second "action," "
aud the third "action" is supposed to
have intended manner only. A tell
ing preacher in his opening remarks
gains the good,wil of his hearers, and
makes them feel both that he has
something to say and that he can say
it-by his manner. The successful
medical man, on entering a sick room
inspires into patients belief in himself,
and that hope which is so favorable to
Iougevity-by his manner. Consider
ing that jarymen are scarcely personi
fications Of pure reason unmixed with
passion or prejudice, a barrisler can
no. afford to neglect manner if he
would bring twelve men one after an
other to his way OF thinking. Again,
has the business man any stock in
trade that pays him better than a
good address And as regards the
"survivdl of the tittcst" in tournaments
for . lady's hand, is it not "natural
selection" when the old motto "Man
MRS makyth man" decides the con.
test ? A. least Wilkes, the best man

sence of good manners, our subject is
seen at once to shade off into the

Energy aad Activity.

A wise man will never rust out.
As long as ne can move or breathe,
he will be doing something for him
self. for his neighbor, for posterity.-
Almost to the last hour Of his life
Washington was at work so were
Howard, Young and Newton. The
vigor OF their lives never decayed.- -
No rust marred their spirits. 1t is a
foolish idea to suppose we must lie
down and die because we are DID,
Who is old =? Not the man OF energy ;
not the day laborer in science or art,
but he only suffers his energies to
waste away, and the springs of life to
become motioniess On whose hands
the hours drag heavily, and to whom
all things wear the garb of gloom.--
"Is he old 7" should not be asked,
but "Is he active p "Can he breathe
freely and move with agility 7" There

The Best Gift.

Around the cradle that thy childhood bare
Came Gods own angels, with their pitying
eyes,
And gazed upon thee in still surprise
To see beyond heavens portals aught so fair.
They brought thee precious gifts. One gave
to thee
The gift Of beauty for thy bofys grace,
Deep.smiling eyes to light dreamy face,
And perfect limbs as young Apollo's be.
One set the crown of genius on thy head,
And one bestowed heart like woman'a own,
Strong as the sea, and trembling at breath.
Laet, yelled figure bent above the bed,
And said, 81 give thee every thing in one.

$50 shalt thou never tread the weary ways
That lead men up the dusty slopes Of life,
Nor feel the ferceness of the MONDAY strife
Knowing alone the morning of thy days.
For thee the dew shall linger on the flower
The light that nerer ,cas on land or sea
Shall have no momentary CLEAN for thee,
But brighten into loves immortal hour.
Thy beauty 5 grace shall never know decay,
Nor Sorrow lay her hand upon thy heart
Neither shall chill mistrust thy spirit slay,
But like a star thy life shall pass away,
Its light still shining, though itself depart,
Until all stars are lost in one eternal day."

In the New Hampshire Legislature, the
petitions of sundry citizens for the estab-
lisbment of equal political rights for all
American citizens, irrespective of sex,
and of sundry others for the right of
women to vote in school meetings, were
referred to the Judiciary Committee. No
hearing was asked for by the petitioners
nor proposed by the committee, who post
poned action until late In the session, and
then reported "That the former subject be
postponed to the next session, and as to
the latter that the bill in relation to it
ought to pass" No action was taken, but
the whole matter was referred to the next
Legislative.

The Railroad companies could at an.
time satisfy the demands of their striking
workmen by cutting down their working
force to the exact measure of diminished
business. In this way higher rate O.
wages could be carried with comparative
ease, and employees could work full time
But this course would necessitate the dis
charge Of large number of skilled men
under circumstances of great hardship.
The companies have preferred to keep in
service as many men as possible, at lower
rates Of wages and at less than full time,
as more merciful and judicious policy
trusting to improved business and renewed
trade to give all of them full employment.
The strike has closed with tracit under
among employers and employees
that as business warra ats it the wages and
the time Of train men will be increased.

sRGwARD THE WORKERS.

The HERALD has no desire to lessen the
margin of the Democratic majority in
September. 1t will'in the future, as in
the past, decry all attempts at dlsorganiza-
tion, or schism. The young men of the
Democratic party, complain that they are
never considered in the disposition of parS
~ patronage, although they do all the la
Dor. We single out no class of men, by
the term Young Democracy" other than
the young men Of the party-without dis
tinction. In other States, the CLAIMS of
the young men are acknowledged, and
certain positions are allotted to them by
common consent. 1t cannot escape obsers
walton that men are picked out Of. obscur-
ity, by means of some unseen manage
ment and given party positions. to which
they arc no better fitted, frequently not as
well, to the disregard of the claims of
working Democrats; men who keep the
party flag flying, and who make victories
possible by their energetic efforts, and un-
faltering fealty to Democracy.
Everything being equal, we think it
just to take our candidates from the ranks.

! Business must and will Get better If al
engaged in II put their shoulders 70 th,
wheel and resolve to push it as il nevel
was pushed before. The riotous feeling
that manifested itself rather strikingly in
some sections 4 week or 20 ago has nearly
died out, and business men are now be-
ginning to realize the importance of drop.
ping riotous subject and making "strike'
for the fall trade. A strike of this kind
will have the effect Of giving employment
to large number Of deserving people who
have been idle through no fault Of theirs,
and an era Of good feeling will soon pre-
vail all along the line, if each and every
one engaged in business resolves to do his
duty toward himself and fellow man. The
worst croakers are those who never strive
to lift themselves out Of -despondeacy, but
croak from year to year, in good times as
well as poor times. This chronic class,
who neither toll nor spin, find fault with
those who show business activity. Let the
rich croaker and poor croaker keep on
croaking, they annoy no one but thsm-
selves. Active, energetic business men
have no time to stop and give ear to|
=" what is going to happen, sure" as the
croaker puts it, but they push ahead, and
iftrouble does come they meet it like men,
and by their energy and industry soon
overcome it. Let us all "strike" for the
fall trade and make lively time Of it.
