An Affecting Scene at Naughton Hall.

The Murphy meeting last night was
very ably addressed by Rev. Mr.. Hutch
ings, of the Broad street Congregational
Church, followed by few remarks by
Mr.. Kingsley. At the close, while Rev.
Mr.. Dunbar, Baptist minister, was put
ting all of his enthusiasm into Hold the
Fort" and everybody was trying to help
along with the singing, man who is ad-
dicted to the use of intoxicants, came
forward to sign the pledge. His little
daughter, a. lovely child of nine or ten
years, seeing her poor father writing his
name upon the Murphy card, came for
ward, and throwing her arms around her
fathers neck, burst into flood of tears.
He kindly put his arms around his weep
ing child, drew her close to him, and
held her closely in his arms, while her
tears fell upon his shoulder.
How often has that dear child had oc-
casion to weep at the thought that her
father was in danger of becoming
drunkard; for no one is safe who is daily
in the habit of using strong drinks. No
wonder her tears fell tears of Joy, to see
the father whom she loved, go forward
like a man, and sign the pledge. The
wife soon followed, and wrote her name
upon Murdhy card, and the three happy
heads went, we trust, to a home where
there will be no more cause for sorrow,
because the husband and father is in
danger.
There Joy is not all in heaven when

Using the name of God Irreverently.

Besides the various forms of open.
shocking profanity, there are modes OF
using the Divine Names which come very
near, to say the least, to the verge OF that
taking of the name of God in vain which
the third commandment forbids. Such
phrases as "God knows" ION Gods
earth" etc., are sometimes used with a
flippancy even in the pulpit, that is
strongly suggestive of irreverence, al
though it may be far from the intention
of the speaker to be SO. Another form
of unconscious irreverence is the frequent
repetition in prayer of one or more OF
the names of God. We commend espe-
cially to those who lead in Sunday school
prayers what is said on this point by the
Rev. j. w. Willmarth. in The Baptist
Teacher:
II have in the course of my life known
several persons who, in prayer, made use
of Divine Names with distressing and ir-
reverent frequency-so much 80 as to
pain exceedingly the listener. Thus, one
will begin every sentence with % God
Others will use the form, % Lord, our
Heavenly Father twenty, thirty, or even
fifty times, in one prayer. This Is not
intentional irreverence. 1t probably had
its origin in embarrassment. The names
of Deity, being 80 familiar, occurred to
the mind when others did not. And it
became habit. But it certainly re-
minds US of vain repetitions, and renders
it impossible heartily to join in the pray
er, or even patiently to hear it.
"The name of God is very sacred. 1t
may be used not merely at the beginning,
but occasionally during the prayer. We
have Scriptural examples for this. But
it should never be pronounced except
when we mean to use it, when we mean
something in using it, and when we can
speak of it with loving reverence. 1
think that those who have fallen into
this deplorable habit of constantly re-
peating Divine Names in prayer ought to
be told their fault by faithful friend;
for which they should be thankful, and
at once amend. Let US look to it that
no trace of this fault be found in u.s."

Christ Among Miners.

A correspondent writing from Aber-
carne, Wales, in regard to the recent ter
rible explosion in the mines at that
place, by which nearly three hundred
lives were lost, speaks of the Christian
character of many who perished, as fol-
lows:
"This morning L walked with the Rev.
D. R. Davis, Independent Minister of
Risca and Cross Keys, from Abercarne to
the latter place. In the little chapel at
Cross Keys there were three Sunday
school teachers and twenty-four members
OF the congregation among the lost.
Pointing to pretty Primitive Methodist
chapel at the side of the road, my friend
informed me that every member of the
Church but three was among the dead
At last we came to long row of houses.
We enter the first, where we find a young
widowed mother with faxen-haired
little girl only fifteen months old, and
two other women, the elder of whom has
lost mo less than four relatives in the
fatal catastrophe. This is, or rather was,
the home of James Whatley. "He was"
said my friend, lone of the finest, man.
liest young fellows in my church-one of
those whom we could least spare"
James Whatley was the support, not
only of his wife and child, but of his
mother-in-law, who sits there in the cor
ner of the room, and of his father-in-law,
who is unable to work. He had taken
younger brother, Frank, with him in
the pit-both are among the dead. The
very night before the fatal disaster,
James Whatley stood up in the little
prayer-meeting to give short address,
and his theme was "Clinging to the
Savior" He spoke of Jacob wrestling
,isxIof fxxyith ha L
he could no longer Wrestle, he clung fast
and held on. Ere twelve hours moro
had passed away the fiery blast had laid
him low......In the same Sunday-school
as James Whatley was another teacher,
James Lowell by name, a man who had
quite fascinating power of instructing
children, man who loved and took de-
light in his home, who called his chill
dren around him every evening to family
worship. He, too, has gone, and six little
children are left fatherless. The extent
of the loss of some of these
families ID shocking to contemplate. A
door or two from James Whatley's house
the survivors have to mourn the loss of
seven relatives, three of whom lived in
the house itself. The Wesleyan congre-
cation seems to have lost heavily. On
the Sunday before the calamity the SER
vices were conducted by two local preach
ers, s,both of whom are nowlying dead in
the pit"
During the flooding of the Tynewdd
Colliery, April, 1877, the sterling relig-
ious principles which pervade the simple
lives of the Welsh miners were strikingly
illustrated by the fact that while i'm
prisoned in the depths of the earth and
while dreadful doom was overhan ging
| them, the entombed miners sunp to-
gether the following hymn of trust and
praise:
| I'm the deep and mighty waters
| There is none to hold my head,
But my only Savior, Jesus,
He, my friend, in Jordan's river
| Holding up my sinking head
With his smile I'll go rejoicing5
Through the regions of the dead"

Politics and the Religious Press.

A considerable number of good people
in this county are of opinion that reli-
gious paper should devote no part of its
space to the discussion of politics. They
demand the exclusion of such topics on
the same principle on which they would
debar their minister from the remotest
allusion, in the pulpit, to questions of a
political character which are agitating
the public mind Whilst it is uniyer-
sally conceded that a religious paper can
not treat of such matters with that free
dom that is allowable in the secular press,
and whilst the purely partisan and per-
sonal aspects of political movements are
entirely beyond its province, yet the
opinion is steadily gaining ground that q
religious journal cannot ignore those
moral and religious phases which great
political and social questions are con
stantly presenting. The most thought
full of Christian people are coming to feel
more and more deeply that, in regard to
the ethical side of all great national sub
iects of discussion, the religious press
may exert powerful influence in mould
ing public opinion, and that it ought to
use it to the utmost. The views of Brit
ish Christians on this matter have lately
been expressed in very significant way,
equal propriety be applied to ourselves.
A late number of the Christian Signal
the youngest of the religious weeklies of
London-contained proposal that the
paper should rigidly exclude politics from
It's columns. The proposition has called
forth earnest protests from some of its
subscribers, one of whom says that al
the Christian principles of the Signal are
good, this augurs well for its political
sentiments, and there is hardly anything
in which the Christian public requires
educating so much as politics." and an
other declares that, "If the Signal is not
to take up the great political and social
questions of the day and discuss them in
Christian spirit and from Christian
point of view, there is no need for it.
The same writer sums up his views of the
true position to be held by saying, "Wc
want something more than that colorlesl
and impractical Christianity which Meth
er offends nor benefits any one" AS W,
have said, by mere change of names
these remarks are applicable with equa
force to any of the religious journals o
our country, and are the sentiments of
constantly y-increasing number Of the mos
intelligent and pious of our citizens

More Light.
BY CAROLINE MAY.


The crisp leaves, wetted by the rain,
Are loOsened easily,
And with breath they seem full fa1n
To drop off from the tree;
Thus in the winds soft arms they lie,
AS if they were well pleased to die.
And as gaze up through the trees
That shut my cottage in,
Whose foliage thus, with each light breeze,
Gets every hour more thin,
Fresh light, from sky unseen till now,
Falls like q blessing on my brow.
And in the forest, DER the field,
Gray boulders, messy green,
And winding wood paths are revealed
Which were before unseen,
With upland slopes and curved gladeS,
Once hid by summers leafy shades.
These comfort me with promise sweet,
That SO, in life, perchance-
AS fall youths warm hopes at my feet,
And chilling years ADVANCE
The storm-nade gaps, the tear-washed space
VIII only to more light give place.
Light to dfscern-what joy had yelled
With leayes of rose and gold,
That gladdened for while, then paled
And dropped in deathly cold
More of the firm, eternal Rock,
That steadfast stands earth's rudest hook.
More of the ways, unseen before,
By which God leads US on
To walk with Him. and trample DER
Earth's pleasures dead and gone;
And see, with heaven-illumined eyes,
The glades and hills of Paradise.

Is it not time my love were here?

But brings no soaad of him, deem,

So near my home to die like this
The breese too faint my cries to take
Must l lie here beside the lake?
Knowing my loved ones watching wake,
So near my love-without her kiss!
Must lie here beside the lake,
So near my home, to die like this?
