First Baptist Church,

This commodious church was we'll filed
yesterday morning and the audience
listened to the pastors discourse
with the greatest attention. The Rev.
Mr.. Cross took for his text, Judges 18th
oh, 22d and % verses;
"And Manoah said unto his wife, I'VE shall
surely die because we have seen God But
his wife said unto him, IF the Lord were
pleased to kill US he would not have received
a burnt Offering aud a meat Offering at our
hands; neither would he have Showed us all
these things, nor would as at this time have
told us such things as these.'''
He said that the words referred to the
birth of Samson, who is in many respects
one of the most remarkable characters made
known to us in Old Testament history. He
was raised up by God for the purpose of de-
livering the Israelites from the Philistines in
whose bondage they were held. He was
child OF promise-The direct
promise was that a child should be born,
and that he should be instrumental in de-
ivering the Israelites from the bondage of the
Philistines. All the persons we read of in
the pages of inspiration, whose birth or in
fancy has called forth remarkable
divine manifestations have
been either typically or inst rumentally, or in
both ways, connected with mighty deliver
ance wrought by God for the children of
men. The preacher gave as exa mples of this,
Isaac, the type and progenitor of the Savior
Of the world; Moses, marvellously rescued
from the drowning river was destined to lead
forth the chosen race out of the house of
bondage; Samuel, the child of many prayers
and many tears and dedicated by a grateful
mother to the service of Jehovah, proved a
national blessing; John the Baptist, whose

with him until the contagion of the putrid
mass takes away his life. Virgil describes
this scene a. folluWs:

| this scene as fOlluWS:
What tongue can such barbarity record,
| Or count the slaughter of his ruthless sword,
| 'Twere not enough the good, the guiltless Pied
| Still worse, he bound the living to the dead,
/ There, limb to limb, and face to face he
/ Joined,
| Oh! Monstrous crime, of unexampled kind,
Till choked with stencil the lingering
! wretches lay,
| And in the loathed embraces died away
| To my mind almost any form of punish
ment and death would be preferable to this
diabolically invented punishment.
The language of the text is not, as some
have supposed, a picture of the apostles
Christian experience, but representation of
| the natural man under the law, in bondage
to sin and death. The natural man, looking
first to the law, and finding it too weak
to sever the cords which bound him to
the body of death, and then looking
with one agonizing glance in the face of
Jesus, he exclaimed, .sThere is therefore now
no condemnation to them that are in
in Christ Jesus"
! These suggestions are for class of per-
sons who think they can never get beyond a
miserable and wretched experience, who
think they never can get beyond swooning
hour.
LILO GcAG suggests CWO
LIST. The religion of our Lord Jesus
to every man without regard
social position, the lowest depths of his de-
pravity-just what manner of man he is
that is what it did for the Apostle Paul. Be
fore his conversion he was popular as a citi-
zen, scholar, and reigionist. He was what
might be called first class man. But God
looked at him very differently. God saw
that he was proud, self-willed, that his heart
was "deceitful above all things and desper-
ately wicked" On his way to Damascus
Christ revealed to him what
manner of man he was.
This is popularity of christianity that
can be found in no other system of religion.
And it is also an element of power and sue
cess in christianity which would be an ele-
ment of weakness and failure in any other
system. Other systems fatter men, and as
soon as they cease to fatter, men cease to
follow and to strive. This world is in rage
for hattery. Men of mind and culture devote
their entire time to preaching ito saying
to men they are good, when they are bad
they are right, when they are wrong; that
there is no such thing as sin; that what we
call sin is simply little irregularity arising
from education and circumstances; correct
these and men will develope as perfectly as a
flower in the garden. But God says, ga fiat
tering mouth worketh ruin.''
The second thought is this: That while the
religion of Jesus Christ never fat
ters man it never despairs of him.
This is apparent, first from the promises
and secondly by the character of those
it saves.
It saved Saul of Tarsus, the thief upon
the cross, and if it saved them it can save all
who will come unto Christ.
The congregation was large, and seemed
impressed with the discourse. The singing
is Of the good old fashioned congregational
character, led by trained quartet.

We Must Think of Their Immortal Souls.
New York, Jan. Anniversary services
of Niobrara League were held tonight,
Bishop Potter presiding. Bishop Hare of
Niobrara presented report of the work of
the mission for 1877. It states that the year
has been a prosperous one. Congregations
and schools have increased, and the convic-
ton is expressed that if the present policy of
the government is adhered to, the whole
Sioux Nation will become peaceable
people. Among the Lower Brules at
Spotted Tail and Cheyenne Agencies good
work is being done. In the same place
there is an absence of law that should make
every man who sits at the national hall of
legislation blush.
Bishop Hare preached sermon on Mo
brara missionary work, and urged his hearers
to think of the immortal souls of Indians,
and not to think of them as race of sava-
ges. Bishop Common of Nebraska, is lectur-
ing and collecting in Catholic churches OF
this city, Brooklyn, for the purpose of So
curing funds to establish and maintain q
mission among the Sioux.

Hard on Sale of II. O. Stan.ps--Gen. Pope,s
Tiesss.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Third Assistant
Postmaster General Hazen has prepared for
consideration by Congress bill proposing
important change in the law regulating the
compensation of the 4th class postmasters,
or all whose annual compensation is less
than 81 900. It provides that the basis of
their compensation shall be the face value of
stamps cancelled in their respective Offices,
instead of value Of stamps sold by them. It
also imposes severe penalties for making
false returns and for traficking in stamps.
The present mode of adjusting salaries of
postmasters appointed by the President will
be left substantially unchanged. The bill
embodies the recommendation of Postmaster
General Key in his last annual report and
will be by him transmitted to Congress as an
early day.
GEN. POPE ON THE ARMY.
The house military affairs committee has a
communication from Gen. Pope regarding
the army organization, &c. He expresses an
opinion that $4,000 men is too small force
for the needs of the country, and argues
that the committee, in order properly to de-
termine the question of staff organization
and administration should provide for a
thorough investigation by board of officers
of rank and great experience, to be designat-
ed by act1 of congress. Gen. Pope holds
that an army no less than a
form of government must be suited
to people, or it is sure to prove both
inefficient and unsatisfactory. To say that
because system of army organization and
administration has worked well in Germany
or France, or elsewhere, signifies nothing.
There exists such wide differences both in
the character and habits of the people, and
nature of the military service to be per-
formed, that it should therefore be adopted in
this country, is no more sound than to say
the same thing of any political form of gov
eminent. The logic of such proposition
leads absolutely to the opposite conclusion.

The Sunday Globe.

=
The SUNDAY GLOBE, double sheet, took the
people by storm yesterday, and the large
edition issued proved entirely inadequate.
We owe the people an apology for underes-
timating their appreciation of the enter
prise. At an early hour in the morning the
edition was entirely exhausted, and hun
dreds who desired copy were unable to OBJ
tain it. While we shall take care to have
full supply hereafter, the surest way to avoid
the disappointment which befell so many
yesterday, will be to have the paper left reg
ularly, seven days in the week, for IS cents
per month, or $3.50 per quarter.
Rose Wood and the Morrison Company,
The sale of reserved seats for this organi-
cation commences at the Opera House box
Office this morning, and we predict a very
large take. No star or combination have in
years created more marked impression
dramatically speaking, than Rose Wood and
Lewis Morrison's fine company did on their
last appearance here, and it has always been
notable fact, with regard to the St. Paul
amusement going population, that when
they are satisfied with the real worth and
merit of a visiting organization, they are al
ways most liberal in their patronage.
We are informed by the management of
the Morrison Company, that it is their inten-
ton to present to the public of this city all
the leading star attractions in sequence, and
that negotiations are now pending with
Misses Fanny Davenport, Adelaide Nelson,
Clara Morris, and others of equal celebrity.
Miss Clara Morris, who possibly will be the
next attraction, will include in her repertoire,
ssMan and Wife, "Alixe,' and ssJane Eyre"
in which she has recently made so tremen-
dous an eastern success, placing her far in
advance of all rivals.
praiseworthy fact with regard to
Manager Lewis Morrison's Company is its
individual and collective strength; no other
dramatic company since the days of Charles
Furbish, can compete with this party, which
seems to have gained the unanimously ia
yorable praise of the entire Western press.
Amongst the leading and well known
members we note Miss Josephine Craig, the
finished leading lady; j. Edwin Irving, with
| out doubt the best general comedian we
have seen here: Miss Laura Craig, the pref
ty and talented soubrette; Chas. j. Coon,
who is said to be unapproachable in his inn
personation of the Centenarian (M. La
| rogue) in "The Romance of Poor Young
Man. and last, though not least, Lewis
Morrison himself, one of the best leading
actors in the country.
| At the matinee on Saturday, we are
pleased to see, that we are to have Augustin
Days ssFrou-Frou," one of the most ia
NOUS of the French society dramas, and one
of most powerful human interest.

TOWN OF NICHOLSON.
The Name Chosen for the Odd Fellows
Colony Town.

The directors of the Odd Fellows colony,
Watonwan county, have, by general request
of those interested therein, selected the name
NICHOLSON, as substitute for the name
sButterfeld," which the station has hitherto
been called. If there is nothing to prevent,
the town site and station there, will subse-
quently be known as Nicholson, on the maps
of the State.
The appropriateness of this name will be
generally recognized by Odd Fellows. James
D. Nicholson, of Philadelphia, Past
Grand Master of the Order, is probably the
most eminent Odd Fellow in the world, hav-
ing held the highest Office known to the
order, and is now generally recognized as its
most able, devoted representative member.
His ability, high character and exalted rank,
especially pointed to him as the one to re-
ceive such compliment, and all members
will unayoidably approve the selection.
We are gratifed to learn that the colony
is succeeding very encouragingly. Mr..
Bell, the secretary, receives a handful
ofkletters every day, making inquiries about
it, although, for want of means, the execu-
tive committee have been able, so far, to adj
vertise it in only one publication, a maya
zine of the order of comparatively small
circulation. The directors are all men of
limited means, and having no funds at their
disposal, and no way of getting any, except
by the small subscriptions made by q
few members just to help it along, cannot
expend any amount on it such as should be
done. What they have done has been done
as labor of love, and without any more
interest or profit than any one else.
They should not, however, be compelled to
run an immigration bureau at their own
se1pense when that work is for the public
good and the benefit of the whole State.
AS there is no immigration fund provided by
the State, why cannot our Chamber of Com
merce devise some way of aiding in this
work? It will probably bring into our State
this year 800 or 400 families, all of them
highly intelligent people, and we'll provided
with means.

ont to shoot at mark. About two hun.
ydred yards from the house he stopped
and while sitting down attempted to cock
the weapon. 1t was discharged, the ball
entering the pit of tho stomach and
working down. 1t was nearly two hours
