THE SICK BED.-God sometimes ex-
plores US by sickness. From other mis-
fortunes we can run away, but fiat on
our backs, pain in the head. in the heart
in the limbs, we cannot run away. No
school, however we'll endowed, however
supplied with faithful instructors and
professors. can SO well teach you as a
sick-bed. People wonder at the piety
Of Edward Payson and Richard Baxter
and Robert Hall. How did they get to
be SO good ? 1t was sanci6ed sickness.
You think you are of great deal of
Importance in commercial circles. God
shuts you in the sick-reom. You do
not know how business can 60 on with
out you. Lying on your pillow, you
hear the rumbling of the wheels and
the shutting of the feet just as before.
God says: 81 am searching this man
by every cough, by every chill, by every
restlessness, by every pleuritic twings,
by every neuralgia paroxysm, by every
night sweat, by every exhaustion, I will
search him through and through. "-Se,

WIDOW VAN COTT ON TEMPERANCE

INTERESTING LECTURE ON THE CRYING
EVIL OF THE DAY.
The hall OF Cooper Institute was
crowded yesterday afternoon, in con-
sequence of the promise made that
the Widow Van Cott would address
the meeting held there under the aus
pices of the American Temperance
Union. After Mrs. Genevieve How
ard had spoken, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Guernsey had sung, Mrs. Van Cott
addressed the vast audience. She
drew series of touching pictures of
the miseries entailed by the vice of
drunkenness.
She strongly condemned the use of
wine in churches at sacrement, and
contended that water would answer
the same purpose as wine, and all cler-
gymen who wished to save many from
drunkards graves should drop this
custom of giving wine to their congre-
CATION. She related one incident in
connection with this suggestion. The
speaker instanced a case where a man
first drank wine at the communion
table, and finally died a drunkard.
Thousands of such cases were to be
met with daily, and the speaker
thought that clergymen did not help
the cause as they should. They were
lukewarm on the subject and needed
to be aroused =
The law as it now stood should be
rigidly forced, and not kept as it is
now, effective onl y in few cases,
while the bulk of the liquor-dealers
were breaking it every hour in the day,
The whole thing was farce in the es-
timation of the speaker.-Neso York
