THE SURPRISE OF UN8ELIEF.

Why are Christians so surprised when
God answers prayer? why's it regarded
as an unusual thing? One instance of
evident answer is repeated as won
der almost too great to believe. Un-
belief is at the root. Is it such a strange
thing that God should fulfil his promises?
Would it not be more strange if be failed
to do so? We marvel when God answers
our prayers, and Jesus marvels at our
unbelief which shuts the door against
his answers. According to our faith it
is done to us. and it is the very reason
SO little is done. Faith is SO week, that
answers to prayers are necessarily few.
Stronger faith would bring richer bless
ipgs. When we believe enough to expect
God to do all he promises. answers to
prayers will become as common as daily
favors from the kindest parents. Our
loving father will give literally when
we believe undoubtedly. His hand is
always stretched out to give, but ours
seldom held out to receive. Those who
wait on the Lord renew their strength,
while those who ask and haste away re-
ceive nothing. It is singular expert
ence to regard Gods promises "yea and
amen" because our evil hearts of un-
belief suspect they are not quite true,
He that believeth shall not be ashamed
o Lord increase our faith Selected

BEsEEcHING.-The gospel contains few
commands, but many entreaties. Jesus
invited, persuaded, exhorted, but seldom
commanded. Miraculous mercies were
not given on condition of service, but in
general zeal to relieve the distress. If
the healed became loyal to their Redeem
er it was not from compulsion, but from
the choice of their own hearts, the vol
untary love and gratitude of their own
souls. In the same spirit the apostles
taught. Their letters to the churches
abound in counsel, advice, entreaty,
warning, invitation, promise, but the
language of authority is seldom used.
This fact denotes the genius of the Chris
tian system aud Christian life. The
service of Christis prominently freedom.
Arbitrary rules, exact regulations, spe.
ciic organization, uniform prescriptions
are unknown, and great liberty for every
believer is allowed, the chief restraint
being the internal force of love respond.

WAS II A CRIME OR A BLUNpERe

A court of inquiry has been held by the
English consulate in Philadelphia in regard
to the late collision of the English ship
Lady Octavia with the American steamer
Champion, which results in the acquittol
of the officers of the Octavia of any blame.
Who, then, is responsible? The Champion
left New York at 3 p. IN. on Thursday,
October so. At 3 o'clock on Friday morn
ing fifteen miles from the Delaware Capes,
she collided with the Lady Octavia and
sunk in four minutes. The night was calm
and beautiful, moon and stars shining.
The officers of the Octavia testify :" that
they saw the steamer ten minutes before
the collision, but they were on their right
"course and did not change it," Is there n
point of etiquette about the fright of way"
that must carry passengers of vessel into
eternity rather than turn the helm to avoid
blundering steamer? To whom are the
officers of the Champion to account for their
cruel neglect of duty? Three Of the sew
enteen passengers were ladies, and they
were never seen after they entered their
staterooms. One was an old lady with her
husband. Mrs. ANDREWS and her daughter,
of Charleston, S. c., had just returned from
| trip to Europe, and they took passage on
the Champion, feeling that the perils of
| their Journey were over. Had there been q
storm or fog the accident might have been
charged to Providence" but on such a
night of calm and beauty the officers of the
steamers were guilty Of either blunder or
n crime, for which the travelling public hold
| them responsible.

No sane man will deny for an instant
that the majority of those Southern Bour-
npoliticians who are now engaged in wild
acclaim for the nomination of General GRANT
are hypocrites of the basest sort-spoil-
hunters and unprincipled Gushers But it
is nevertheless fact that this class Of self
ish manipulators would not dare to indulge
in such an erratic departure from straight
laced Bourbonism in the absence of an
honest minority sentiment in support of it..
They are one and all quick to catch the drift
Of the chnngeful currents ofpolitical opinion,
and are now simply sailing along with the
tides, over which they have no control. and
with which they have no sympathy, except
in the hope that they may eventually be
landed in some harbor where plundcr is
possible and safe What is needed, if any
thing is, in this so-called Southern move
ment for GRANT is that the honest, unself-
ish and truly patriotic people of that sec
tion shall rise and demand his renomina-
tion, independent of the schemes and cal
culations of professional politicians. So
long as this latter class has anything to do
with it the people of the North, including
General GRANT himself, will view it with
susnicion

Should articles of Impeachment follow this
investigation, then Mr.. SEWARD will no
doubt have leave to return home and
defend himself by confronting his
accusers and their accusations. If con-
victed, then his removal will undoubt-
edly be effected by the Government. 1t
is scarcely the fair thing to disturb Min
lister SEWARD while he is under fire, and
again it is not prudent to do so, for the
reason that such action might be interpreted
as a purpose to shield him from investiga-
tion and impeachment.
Unfortunately for the fidelity of history,
those not any too well informed of the facts
have complicated the Hong Kong consul
late with the Chinese mission, when in fact
the Chinese Minister has nothing to do
with that consulate, it being entirely out
side the jurisdiction of China. 1t is a
province or colony of Great Britain.
Consul MosBY has given his predeces-
sors, Messrs. BAILEY and ALLEN, consid-
erable attention, and il is intimated that
he will soon have leave to return home and
relieve himself from the accusation of hav-
ing published unfounded allegations against
them. This is, perhaps, no more than fair,
though it may establish precedent under
which in the future n Consul may be led
to the publication of accusations against
his predecessors for the mere purpose
of getting an opportunity to return home
after an attack of homesickness. One thing
is certain-if Consul MosBY has made
accusations against his predecessors that are
not sustained by the proofs, then he GER
tainly should come home to sustain them,
and under failure he should be permitted
to remain at home, On the other hand, if
Colonel MosBY has discovered in the
conduct of his predecessors that which is
disreputable, he should have fair oppor-
tunity TO expose the bare facts and be
sustained in his action.

OUR DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.

1t is now intimated that the resignation
of Mr.. f. w. SEWARD, Assistant Secretary
of State, has been prompted by his relation
ship with Minister G GEoRGE +. SEWARD, who
has been under the fire of investigation for
some time. This we think is misapprehen-
sion of fact, for we have reason to believe
that the step taken by Mr.. SEWARD in
closing his relations with the State Depart
ment has been induced solely by considera-
tions relating TO Mrs, Stewards health.
Mr. SEWARD has proved himself a valuable
officer, and it is scarcely just to msrepre-
sent the motives which have led him to
close his official relations with the Govern
ment at this time
As TO the case Of Minister SEWARD we
are satisfied that the State Department Is
engaged in full and thorough investiga-
tion of his administration Of our diplomatic
interests in China, but do not regard it as
wise or lust to take any action until the in
yestigation is closed and either his guilt or
innocence of the allegations preferred
against him is determined by the the judg-
ment of the House of Representatives

THE project Of creating an international
Park at Niagara Falls, which will throw
that great wonder of the world open to all
visitors without exactions, is being revived,
and the New York Maii, in referring to it,
says
As the suggestion of an International Park
at Niagara originated with Earl DUFFERIN,
then Governor General Of the Dominion, the
Canadian Province Of Ontario will undoubt-
edly provide the strip of land required for the
Park on the Canadian side of the Falls as soon
as our Commonwealth indicates its willingness
to cooperate in the enterprise. Although the
Dominion government and the Federal Gov
ernment will take no action for the creation of
the Park, it will nevertheless be international
in character. The success of the project seems
now to depend upon the action Of New York,
and If Ex-Governor SEYMoURs board and the
legislature reflect the sentiment of the multi
tudes who have been pluoked by the rutiians
who have long ruled at Niagara Falls, that
wonder Of Nature will soon be rescued from
their hands that it may be preserved for the
unobstructed delight of future generations.
