The Old Man In the Stylish Church.

WILL. wife, I've beea 70 church to-day
beeu Is Q stylish one
A.d seeiu' you can't 60 from home, I'll tell
YOU what WAS done
Va. would have been surprised 10 see whai
saw there to-day
Til. sisters were 6Xed up 80 nne they
hardly bowed 10 pray
,.sd an these coarse clothes Of mine
not much the worse for wear
mt. then, they knew wasn't one they
called . millionaire
80 they led the old man to seat away
back by the door:
,Tvas bookless. uucushioned . reserved
seat for the poor.
Pretty soon 10 came stranger, with gold
rings and clothing fine
They led him to - cushiond d seat FAR In
advance Of mine;
I thought It wasn't exactly right TO seal
him up so near,
when he was young, and WAS old, and
very hard 10 hear.
Rut then there's no aocountin' for what
some people do
Tho finest clothing nowadays oft gets
the finest pew.
But when ws reach the bless sed home, all
unJeflei BY siu.
Well see wealth begin 81 the gate, whilo
poverty goes in.
l couldn't hear tho sermon, sat 80 far
away, =.
90, through the hour Of service, l could
only "watch and pray"
Watch the doin's ofthe Christian sittin
near me round about;
Pray that God would make them pure
within as they wero pure without.
While l sat there, iookin' all around upon
the rich aud great,
kept thinking Of the rich man and the
beggsr at the gate
How, by all but dogs forsakeu. the poor
beggar's form grew cold.
And the angels bore his spirit 10 tho nan
sions built Of gold.
How at last the rich man perished, and
his spirit took its flight
From the purple aud 6nc linen to tho HON 9
Of endless night;
There he learned as no stood gazip' at the
qeggar in the sky.
ut isn't all Of life to live, nor oil Of death
to die"
I doubt not there were wealthy sires in
that religious fold
Who wen, up from their dwellings like tn e
Pharises Of old;
Than returned home from their worship
with q head uplifted high.
To spurn the hungry from their door
with uaught to satisfy.
Out, out ! with such professions they
are doin' more to-day
To stop the weary sinner from the gospel's
shiniu' way
Than oil the books Of inhdsls than al
that has been tried
Since Christ was born in Bsthlshem-sines 4
Christ was oruci6ed.
How simple are the works Of God, and yet
how very grand
Tho shcl,s 10 ocean caverns-ths flowers
ON the land
He Qilds the clouds Of eveain' with the
gold light from his throne.
Not for tho rich man only not Tor the
poor alone.
Then why should man look down on mar
because flack Of gold?
Why seat him In the poorest pew because
his clothes are olD
A heart with noble motives-s heart thai

KORTHINGION,

"A. D. Ames, editor of tie Clyde (O.)
Sentinel, writes al interesting letter
to his paper from Worthington. We
give q few extracts: .s..
At IL o'clock (midnight) Tuesday
night we reached Wortllington, Min
nesota, seeing for the first time famil-
lar faces, since leaving Toledo, in the
persons of our old-time friends, J.
Ames and family. They no doubt have
i favorable opinion of the eating aDil-
tiles Of Eastern editors by this timo, and
especially on Thanksgiving occasions.
We took dinner with Dele, and have Il
feeling III our conscience that we did
our whole duty. This western country
is better than Hostetter's Bitters to
give Il fellow an appetite. The wealth
er is very cold, and Il bracing breeze is
continually blowing across tile prairies,
which are extensive. Worthington is
in one respect 4 wonderful place.
There is not a saloon in the town
drunkenness being almost entirely un-
known. Like Oberlin, not even a bill
lard table will be allowed there. Our
stay here has been very pleasant one.
and we shall ever remember the kind
ness of friends in Wortllington. With
Il population of 800, Wortlington sup
ports two excellent papers, "the AD-
VANCE" and journal" We have
found both editors las editors usually
are) tip-top fellows. Many courtesies
shown us here, by them, we shall long
remember.

That sterling and fearless paper, the
Waseca Radical, closes an article on
the attempt Of the Austin mayor to
cow-hide the editor OF the Republican,
rs follows:
We don't know anything about the
merits of the quarrel there, but we do
know that none but desperate, bad
men will destroy printing offices or as
snult old men with whips and clubs.
Shame on such a mayor.
That's it exactly. They are ''desper-
ate, bad men," and hate Page and the
Republican for daring to be honest
and to show up their wickedness.
They have robbed the county, endeav-
ored to impeach Judge Page, mobbed
the Republican office, corrupted the
Congregational Church and made it
the weak tool of their spite, and now
they have attempted personal violence
against an editor, and, as Van Valken-
bnrgh acknowledges in his foolish let
ter, ''came out second best" We say
not only ''sl,ame on such a mayor,'
but shame on such politicians and such
ring Church.

All signs now point in that direc-

ous hberty.-St. Paul Globe.

for the triumph of the people over

THE 1RTE LJREls

We are always heartily glad to notice
any indications of liberalty in the pull
pit, especially when we see it in i,
church like the Congregational which
makes prominent claims to being ad-
vanced and liberal and yet, as Il rule,
is exceedingly narrow and bigotcd in
faith, doctrine ami practice. We are
therefore all the more glad to see that
the Rev. "A. E. Arnold, the Congrega-
t,onal minister ut Lemars, dares to
preach the llberality which the church
processes. In Il recent sermon he said
Of Bible Interpretations:
What should be the attitude of the
true liberal towards the Bible? n
thoughtful mind has Il right to protest
against that narrow method of inter-
probation, which insists that the Bible,
from Genesis to Revelation, whether it
is historic, or poetic, or doctrllal, shall
he used Ill religious instruction, as
/ though every sentence was Il statement
of truth, made with the same accuracy
with which words are emf yed in Il e
exact sciences. Such Il method OF i'll
depreciation must necessarily result in
the NEST evident absurtlties, and make
it possible to prove almost anything
from the Bible. We have i right to
insist that the Scriptures shall be cx-
pounded according to the same critical
method that we apply TO other ltera-
ture, taking into consideration the linn
itations Of the people to whom they
were first given, and the kind OF insp-
ration that attended their comp,stlon
We have Il right to insist upon such !,
liberal method of interpretations, and
no one is entitled to question our re-
gard for the sacred volume, because we
thus protest against it's beng given
over to ignorance and fanaticism.
Of ''Eedging the law,' Air. Arnold
said:
The Pl,arisees, III Christ's time, were
accustomed to hedge the law rs they
termed it, by insisting on prohibitions
That were not contained in the law, i'm
order, AS they claimed, to protect the
| commandments from violation. 1t
was this hedging Of the law by iusist-
ing Oh prohibitions which it did not
warrant, that led Jesus to denounce
the Pharisees us teaching for doctrines
the commandments of men. Tie chris
tian moralist needs to be on his guard,
lest lie fall into this same practice
which Christ condemned in the endeav-
or to hedge up the approaches to i'm
m"rllity. 1t is often said that such
and such conduct is innocent in itself,
but may lead to something that is
wrong, and should therefore be prolb
tied. But this method of reasoning
would condemn almost every possible
human act, even the drawing of ones
breath, for the continuance OF life may
lead to some evil deed. And then such
Il course, which demands in the i.amp
OF Righteousness and Gol's word. the
condemnation Of that which is evident
ly innocent and harmless, is likely to
bring into contempt every demand in
the name Of righteousness however
we'll founded.

with the CLOS. and freshness Of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the
fo|licles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and dccayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
BY this application. 1nstead7of foul
ing the hair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dam
gerous, and injurious to the hair, the
Ngor can only benefit but not harm
it If wanted merely for
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir-
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, it does not soil white cambria,
ard yet lasts long on the hair, giving
it a rich, glossy lustre and a grateful
perfume.

1t looks as if a big row between Rus
sia and England over Afghanistan was
probable. England is already carrying
on q war with that collIDry on account
Of an alleged insult and the Russians

Yes, sir. and Yankee Doodle is to
come out ahead rs usual. The war
Is to take the form Of a contest
between Monarchy and Republi~
canism, and Brother Jonathan will be
assailed on both coasts, so says the
prophecy. The people Of Europe will
rise up and help Uncle Sam, and then,
the record says, ''the stars are to fall
to the eartl'," that is, stars in oriental
and Bible languas e, mean kings, lead

with their kings, princes, palaces,

headlong down amid hideous ruin
