NJ. L. Bishops on Prohibition.

The bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church, at their late annual meeting, issued
pastoral address to the ministers and mem.
bers of that church, in which, in referring
TO temperance, they say In one thing let
us be more explicit. The world is in anguish
because of the bitter wrongs of intemper-
ance and the unrighteous traffic in intoxi-
eating liquors. True philanthropy is in
dreadful conflict with this monster iniquity.
But success must be limited while pro
fessed Christians in such large numbers vote
to perpetuate and honor it by authority OF
law. The grand triumph for which suffer
ing men and women work and pray will
never come till members Of churches gener
ally rise up in their might and compel polit
ical parties to accept this high morality
and nominate only men who will prohibit
by law this heaven-daring crime. They car
do it If they will and by failing to mee
this high obligation do they not make them
selves responsible for the wrongs and suffer
ings which they can but will not prevent ?"

Majesty OF Christs Presence.

Independently of all tradition we may be-
lieve with reverent conviction that there
could have been nothing mean or repugnant
that there must, as st. Jerome says, have
been something starry in the form which
enshrined an Eternal Divinity and an In
finite Holiness. All true beauty is but the
sacrament of goodness, and conscience so
stainless, spirit so full of harmony, life
so purely noble, could not but express itself
in the bearing, could not but be reflected i'll
the face of the Son of Man. We do not, in
deed, find any allusion to this charm of
aspect, as we do in the description of the
young High Priest Aristobulus, whom Herod
murdered; but neither, on the other hand,
do we find in the language of his enemies a
single word or allusion which might have
been founded on an unworthy appearance.
He of whom John bore witness as the Christ,
he whom the multitude would gladly have
seized that he might be their King, he whom
the city saluted with triumphal shouts as the
Son of David, he to whom women minstered
with such deep devotion and whose aspect,
even in the troubled images of a dream, had
inspired a Roman lady with interest and
awe, he whose mere word caused Philip and
Matthew and many others to leave aud fol
low him, he whose one glance broke Into al
agony of repentance the heart of Peter, he
before whose presence those possessed with
devils were alternately agitated into frenzy
and calmed into repose, aud at whose ques
ton, in the very crisis OF his weakness anc
betrayal, his most savage enemies shrauf
and fell PROSTATE in the moment of thell
most infuriated wrath-such One as thi

majesty of Prophet and Priest. All TIN
fact, OF his life speak convincingly of tina
strength, and endurance, and dignity, all,
electric influence, which none could have exer
cised without large share of human, no les
than spiritual gifts. Certainly" says ST
Jerome, "a flame of fire and starry bright
ness flashed from his eye, and the majesty o

When Not To Submit.

There are many things ordered for us by
our Heavenly Father to which we ought to
submit. We ought to submit without a
murmur TO his chastisements and bereave-
ments. But there are certain other things
placed in our way that we ought to wrestle
with. If a temptation assais us, we are
never to submit to it. If pile of difficult
ties blocks up our path of duty, it is no time
to talk about submission then is the time
for stout faith to remove the mountain,
or else to scale it with leap. To state Of
things which ought to be bettered, aud
which can be bettered, no Christian has a
moral right to sit down in silent sub
mission. A parent whose children are yet
unconverted has no business to be submis-
sive to such an affl llction. Neither has Il
pastor or a church any right to become rec
onciled to the terrible fact that the gospel
has become powerless, and no souls are
turned from death unto life. That Canaan
itish mother would have sinned if she had
gone home submissive under discourage.
ment when Jesus seemed to be denying her
reasonable request. And we sin grievously,
my brethren, when we fold our hands and
close our lips in the face of spiritual evils
that it is in the power of God to remove.
God is supreme and glorious Sovereign
on his great white throne. We are respon-
sble free-agents down here on his footstool.
As Sovereign he has commanded us to
pray-to continue in prayer, to pray with
out ceasing. He reserves for himself the
right to grant or to refuse the specific thing
we pray for 1t is our right to pray, and it
is Gods right to bestow just such answers
as his al-wise love may deem to be for the
best. We would define faith to be that
child-like temper of the soul which submits
implicitly to everything which God orders
but never submits TO What God can better
If we give up to discouragements when we
ought to battle against them, or if we sub
nit to the absence of spiritual blessing
without an earnest endeavor, and wrestling
for them. then are we wretched clods whC
deserve to suffer the worst that can befal
us.-Theodore l.. Cuyier, d. d.
