GvOD-SPEED Y'O IT.


A subscriber in California writes us
as follows Concerning the ADVANCE:
Long may it live, and, true to it's
name, may it lead the way and spread
its light abroad until every poor, blind
and bigotcd soul shall be able to see
and comprehend the beautiful truths
that are proclaimed to us throughout
the vast arcana of the universe. And
may God speed you in your noble work.
To all of which, naturally enough,
we feel like saying ''Amen!'' In a
communication received from an intel
ligence purporting to be one of the
greatest men that England has produce
ed, but which our orthodox friends say
was from "the Devil" he urged us to
'teach men to love God and not fear
him." But there is Il vast amount of
rubbish to be cleared away before the
victims of 1.-The fall'' can he got at.
LYCEUM.-Thc Worthington Lyce-
UNI is to be reorganized. A meeting
was held at the School House on Mon
day night and the preliminary steps
taken. Next Monday night the organ
ization will be completed and we hope
that the Lyceum may prove as inter-
esting as it did in former years. The
exercises will concist of readings,
recitations, criticisms, and discussions
of questions. The question for debate
next Monday evening is as follows:
Resolved, That the reading of fiction
is beneficial. Aftirmative-T. L. Sell
lers and Geo. Ames. Negativc--Em-
ory Clark and Rev. Dixon. Reader
Miss Rice. Critic-Mrs. Soule.
A. D. Ames arrived on Tuesday night
and will spend some days here. Mr..
A., as we announced heretofore, is ed
itor of the Clyde, [O.] Sentinel, and a
publisher of dramas. While here, Mr..
A. will probably give us an entertain
ment in the reading and dramatic line.
The ladies of the Presbyterian church
will hold a Fair and Festival, the 2nd
week III Dec. a large assortment of
Holiday gifts. Oysters served in every
style. A cordial welcome for all.
Further particulars in next issue.
10. o. F. MEET1NG-The Odd Eel
lows of Worthington are requested to
meet at the Office of A. Forbes, on
Saturday evening, Nov. 30, to take the
preliminary steps toward organizing a

SHIPPING CATTLE

Several farmers have said to us re-
Gently that there is no market here for
cattle. Some of them would willingly
sell off Il portion Of their stock and pay
all or part Of their debts, but they say
it would be at a sacrifice and they do
not want to sell under such circum-
stances.
Why is it that there are no shipments
of cattle from Worthington? We have
several times before alluded to the fact
that parties are, or have been, making
regular shipments of cattle from Win
dom, and if it pays to do so from there
it will pay to ship from here. Who
will go into the business from this point
and furnish our farmers a market for
their surplus stock?

Rev. Mr.. Dixon said in his sermon
to young men that the top round of the
ladder was but the bottom round of
still another ladder in the upward pro-
gress of man. Well said, Mr.. D., and
exactly what the liberals and progress
i've people teach. But if the creedal
churches are right, there is no progress
beyond orthodox views of God and Of
the destiny of the soul. Some Of us
reached the top round of the orthodox
ladder long ago, and began the ascent
of the next ladder into a much purer
and more inyigorating religious atmos-
phere. Give us your hand, brother Dix
on, if you need boost way down there
on the orthodox ladder. We can give

TO BEER or NOT TO DEER.

Last week we published 4 second let
ter from Mr.. Parsons on the liquor
question, on which We intended to
comment. but had not tine to speak
through that issue of the ADVANCE.
We do not, as we said before, agree
with Mr.. p. as to the sale of liquors,
even beer, believing that crime and dis
orderly conduct would be very much
increased if intoxicating liquors of any
kind were openly sold III our midst.
But we are with him in demanding
an impartial administration of law.
We believe, with many others, that fl
voritism las been shown and that
church and political rings have been
formed to shield one class of liquor
sellers and punish another.
Mr.. p. tells our people some whole
some truths. 1t is Il fact that there
has been considerable drunkenness in
this community, although We have had
10 open saloons. It is Il fact that our
churches make a great show of piety
and of devotion to the cause Of Christ,
and yet they are involved in endless
litigation, some in their corporate ca
pacity, and others with member against
member. The ablest and most devot-
ed minister who has ever lived here,
said before he left, that Worthington
was the most pious place and yet had
the least religion of any place he knew
of. This will be the case us long as
the churches are so largely controlled
by goddess, spiteful and time-serving
men.
OF course, these are not pleasant
things to say, but tho truth is some
times unpleasant. And we do not be-
lieve that the temperance feature has
anything to 90 with our long terms of
court and our excessive litigation.
The sale of liquors would not diminish
this but would rather increase it. We
ask Mr.. Parsons, what if outsiders
were rs bad as the church people III
these matters, as they would be if liq,,-
ors were sold?
One good result might follow from
the sale of beer in our midst, viz: we
should soon know the hypocrites from
the genuine temperance men, but our
knowledge would be purchased ut
too great cost.

Threshlng is almost completed and
the yield is not very encouraging to the
farmers. Wheat goes from to 16
bushels per acre; oats 25 to G2; barley
20 to IS, and flax from 10 to Is.
Mcssrs. Burch and 1Iackett,::o of the
Sabbateri!n Society, have been holding
4 series of lectures ut No. 3 school
to their faith. Like all other orthodox
preachers, they claim the key to the

they say this is an unusual occur
ancc.' have been here to witness the
approach of winter for 10 years and
during that time have seen plowing
done in December of three years, and
after the 18TH Of November for five
years.
We have plowed every month so far
of 1878 excepting February. Farmers
are blowing this fall us though they ILL
tended to SOW Il large amount next
season. II present indications are any
thing to 90 10y we will have SO per cent.
more crops next year than this.

III the town, but don't like to Sell ut

Alex Woolstencroft raised this year
537 bushels Of oats, 4'1 OF wheat, 80 of
flax and about 25O of corn, which is the
largest crop we believe raised III the
town.
i. b. Brain raised 1G bushels of
wheat per acre and nearly IS Of oats
which is the largest yield per acre III
the town.

Rev. Mr.. Mlllard intimated in Il re-
cent sermon at the Presbyterian Churcl,
that many Christians who We're iEdiff-
erent under sermons and church serv-
ices, would weep and be deeply moved
over u play or Il novel. True, Mr.. NJ,
and though it was meant for kind re-
proach, it is also 4 confession of the in
ability of the churches III their present
state to move or to take any deep hold
upon the hearts of men. People will not
relish dried apples when they can pluck
the ripe, fresh fruit from the trees. If
the churches were not like so many gal
vanized corpses, they would be sway
ing the hearts of men us the strong
winds sway the forests.
