The Authority of Love.
Lsermon hr ". IL II. Murray.

Sermon by W II. II. Murray
There is nothing so fine in its in
fuence. or so sweet in its expression.
as the authority of love We yielded
loving obedience to it when VIC were
children, as ne heard its words from
the mouth of mother and father. We
never doubted their right to speak it.
We never thought it was unnecessary.
No more should we when God COM
mands US. God is father and mother
to US. That's the way to think OF
Him. His commands are wishes III
our behalf; suggestions to US; entreat-
les, prayers, and whatever else is nat
ural for love to feel and do for those
it calls its own. When my mother
used to tell me that [ must not steal.
must not swear, must not speak Ill OF
my mates, it never made her seem a
tyrant to me. | saw in her injunctions
only the natural expression of wisdom,
knowledge and affection lending them
themselves to my guidadce and better
ment. In this large, sweet way you
should all look at the commands of
God. In this reverent fashion we
should ali listen to Him. In this
happy manner we should all
obey them And this we should do
because we love Him, and He loves
US. No one should ever apply the
commands Of God to human beings as
If they were threats, as if they were
only the swing and sweep of the lash
previous to its descent upon our quiv-
ering flesh. God should never be
pictured standing and shaking his fist
at man. His laws should be looked
upon rather as the prime agencies in
our moral education. The commands
of the Deity are not the laundering
words Of power, throned in authority,
but the breathing of infinite affection,
breathed lovingly into our ears with
many caress, meanwhile, and many
a gesture of kindly caution. This
idea of the commands of God gives
the mind a right standpoint from
which to see the face and to hear the
advice of that heavenly fatherhood
which is over us all in its solicit ude,
anxiety and deathless love.

A Generous Officer.

Corporations have no souls it is said,
but that does not alter the fact that
some corporation officers have as big
and as tender hearts as anybody, and
those who know Marvin Hughitt,
General Supt of the G. & n. W. r. r.
Co., will not doubt the following which
is told by DR.. Gray. OF the Interior
''Some time since a sad looking lady
with four children, the eldest girl
about Il, the youngest baby, applied
to him for pass to some point in the
Northwest, where, as she alledged,
her husband lay dying. The story
was effective for novice, but not so
to an old warrior like Hughitt How
ever, he shortly had the chance OPP
portunity to question the eldest child
alone. She had eaten nothing since
the morning before. All they had 10
eat was kept for the baby and the little
ones. They had come from somewhere
in the east, and the story was evid-
emily true. john said Hughitt,
severely, as tear dropped off his
nose and blottcd the pass he was writ
ing. John, take this family to the
Palmer House, and feed them with
the best that Potter has as long as the y

General Grant.

The enthusiasm for General Grant
extends even to such conservative
papers as the New York Eevening
Post. Commenting on his reply to
the rebel Gen. Taylor's article in the
North American Review, the Post re-
mrrks
The problem set General Grant IN
1864 was not how to get into position
before Richmond with the least fight
ing, but how to break Lees forces.
Lees army, not Richmond, was the
enemy to overcome, and if Grant could
overcome that army it did not in the
least matter whether the blows given
to it were in the Wilderness or below
Petersburg. In the Wilderness, at
Spottsylvania Court House, and at
Cold llarbor, Grand could find Lee
and fight him in the field, with no
better protection than hasty made
field works around Richmond he
would have had to fight him in elab-
orately planned permanent works, and
the manifest readiness of Lee to let
the Federal army march by its left
flank to position in front of those
works proves clearly enough that he
regarded General Grants attacks in
northern Virginia as more hurtful to
the Southern arms than a campaign
beginning before Richmond could be-
General Lee is known indeed to have
said of that campaign and its author
that the only test of military skill is
military success and General Grant
has succeeded. To say that his plan
was laundering one, or that it cost
more lives than it ought, is to overlook
facts that are plain %

Among the arrivals yesterday
on the steamship City of Peking
were two priests from the inter
ior of Japan, claiming to be en-
dowed with miraculous power.
They are on their way to the
Paris Exposition with party
of their countrymen, conducted
by two English gentlemen who
have for several years resided
in Japan. A reporter interview
ed these two gentlemen last eve.
nlng. They told him that the
priests were religious enthusi-
asts, who profess, through the
power OF faith and by the me-
dunn Of prayer, to be enabled
to do the most remarkable
things - such as are recorded
in the Christian gospels as in
the followers Of Jesus-referr-
ing to those passages which
speak Of their being able to re-
move mountains, and to swal-
low deadly poisons without
harm. One of the miraculous
things that these priests are able
to do is to walk with naked feet
over the edges OF swords ground
/ to the keenness of a razor, and
also over a bed of live Goals.
They never attempt this with
out formal and fervent appeal
to their divinity for protection,
and they assert most positively
that it would be impossible for
them to perform tie works they
do without divine interference
in their behalf. They intend to
exhibit these remarkable pow
ers in Paris during their stay,
and will challenge the devotees
of the Christian or any other
faith to do the things they do.
In answer to an inquiry whether
they would exhibit their powers
in this country, the gentlemen
said that such was not their in
tention.-S. T. Post.

A Necklace and earrings worn at a

Senator Spencer, of Alabama, who
has been living at the Sandwich Is
