Frum the MlddletoWn (Del.) Transcript.
Departed this life, September 18th, 1870,
Mrs. Esther @. Craven, wife OF Mr.. Thos.
]. Craven, near St. Georges. In the re-
moval Of this beloved woman husband
has been bereaved OF the companion OF
his youth, and FIVE children have been
left motherless. Her remains were borne
to the grave in st. Georges Cemetery,
followed by large circle Of affected reia-
tives and sympathizing friends, who felt
that not only the immediate family, but
themselves, the neighborhOod and the
church had all sustained o loss in the
death OF her whose body they were about
to commit to the tomb.
The Christian religion permits and en-
joins US to weep with those who weep.
But here while grief may be sincerely felt,
and tears may flow proiusely and heartfelt
mourning cannot be restrained, neverthe.
less there is occasion for joy amid the sor-
row. The survivors cherish the conf
dence that the weary one has gone to her
rest; that the traveller, who, for years had
been stepping towards the new Jerusa-
lem, has now entered the precincts OF the
Holy City, and gone from the embrace of
loved ones on earth to tho arms OF her
loving Redeemer in glory.
With reference to Mrs. Craven it NAV be
said, that she is an evidence and illustra
ton Of how God iulfils his covenant en-
gagements with his believing people.
"For the promise is to you and your chill
dren;" Acts 2.S9. "The generation OF the
upright shall be blessed" Ps. 1922. She
was favored with pious ancestry. Her
Grandfather, Hamil was q model elder OF
the Presbyterian Church in Norristown,
Pa. Her father was the Rev. James @.

ton might be made Of many others OF her
kindred, some to glory gone, and some
yet on earth but looking heavenward,
Mrs. Craven had intimated for some
time that her tabernacle was breaking
down. Though clinging iondly to her
husband and children, and afectionate
kindred, she calmly contemplated the APP
preaching end; communed closely with
her Savior, and then peacefully ON the
Sabbath morning passed away. Her sun
went down at noon. 1t set.
"AS sets the morning star,
Which goes not down behind the daTkened west,
Nor hides ohSeured amid the tempeSts Of the Sky,
But meltA away into the Light Of heaven.n

A Now Industrr 4t the south.

A cotton factory which spins yarn di.
recLly from the seed cotton, located at
Westchester, S. O., Is attracting attention
in the South. It has now capacity Of
from four hundred to five hundred pounds
oIseed cotton per day, and is operated by
seven women and one boy. The manu-
featured yarns sell in New York at an av.
erage Of 1Ol cents. Practical men in the
South found great expectations on this
accomplishment. The machinery is cheap
and simple, and it is claimed that by set
ting it up in the nelghborhoods through
out the cotton belt the value Of the staple
can be increased nearly one hundred per
cent, taking into consideration the amount
Of money saved on bagging, ties, packing
weighing, storing and shipping. The AT,
lanta Constitution is "inclined to believe
that this method Of preparing the staple
for market solves the problem for the
South. It enables the planters of each
neighborhood to add the industry Of man
ufacturing to the business OF cotton.rais,
ing, and at a profit that will more than
justify the small investment to be made.
1t predicts that in the course Of the next
two years at least one hundred Of these
factories will be in operation in Georgia,
as wherever there is a grist mill, planning
mill or saw mill, yarn factory can be
aided without IN increase of power, and
ut very little increase OF cost" The
cotton is taken from the gin and brush or
a card and comes out in roll, and the
threads made are better than those made
from compressed cotton.

nELIGlous DRIFT AND DISCUSSION,

The four largest Presbyterian congrega.
tons in this country are: DR.. Cuyler's,
Brooklyn, with less members; DR.. Tai
IMAGES, Brooklyn, with 1850; DR., Tuck
er's, New York, with 1000, andDr. Halls,
New York, with 1910.
The statistics Of the Protestant Church
in Berlin for 1878 reveal some curious
facts. Only copper centum Of the Protest.
ant children born there in the year were
baptised; only IS per centum Of the mar
riages Of Protestant couples were solemn.
lied by minister, and only 4,774 Of the
9,5S5 Protestants who died were buried
with religious services.
A CONGREGATIONAL Church in Minnesota
having by great effort become free from
debt, the pastor called the trustees to the
platform and exacted the following pledge
from them: "Do you promise this people
that you will never again, so long as you
are trustees, allow this church to 20 into
debt; that you close the doors before you
will permit such thing?" Having
answered in the affirmative, they return.
ed to their seats. .e
ABOUT six years ago a Catholic priest
named Stack, having charge Of a church at
Williamsport, Pennsylvania, was removed
from his pastoate by Bishop o. Hara with.
out a reason being assigned, and the
church given in charge OF a successor. The
removed priest did not submit quietly to
the removal, but brought suit to secure
his right to the revenues Of the church.
The court decided in substance that the
removal was wrong, under the laws OF
Pennsylvania-that the bishop had no
right to displace the priest, as he did, but
the removal having been made, there Is no
remedy for It, as the court could not re-
instate the priest. The case was carried
to the Supreme Court Of the State, and

yesterday morning. The FIRE was seen
about 8 o'clock IN the morning, while the
family were ct breakfast, issuing from the
roof, and soon the structure and It's con-
tents were enveloped in flames. There
was no house nearer than 50 yards-a
negro cabin-and 1t is believed that the
FIRE was the work Of an incendiary. That
neighborhood is unfortunately Swallowed
by the presence Of two or three suspected
incendlaries, and several Of these fires
have occurred.

Nor a single Southern Democrat has
been permitted by the party to speak dur
ing Impending canvass in Ohio. Appoint.
ments were made for Senator Vance, Of
North Carolina, and Senator Morgan, Of
Alabama, but were Cancelled. While the
Democrats dare not permit their Southern
leaders to speak in Northern States, be-
cause they will repel votes, the Democrats
in Congressional caucus must obey the
dlclation Of these dangerous allies. The
fact embodies sturdy argument.

TIE uNIyERsALIsr's CREED.

From the annual sermon by Rev. 0. f.
Stafford before the recent Universalist
State Convention at Haverhill;
Our creed is SO simple in It's compre.
hensiveness, so free from dispute as 10 its
essential articles, that hazard little in at.
temptingto restate It,
First-We believe in one God, whose
nature Is perfect goodness, and who Is the
Father Of all intelligent creatures in all
worlds; and hence
Second-We believe in the universal
brotherhood Of souls.
Third-We believe that only in right.
eousnes or holiness, that is, in likeness to
God, can happiness or salvation be found.
Fourth-We believe in Universal
Providence; that all mysteries, both OF
nature and experience, are ordered by
omniscience; that all the divine judg.
ments, severe and awful though they are,
are designed by perfect justice for the ul-
innate well.being Of men; that Gods
great judgment is not o dramatic imagin.
ing indefinitely delayed, but literally IN
eternal judgment, being an essential Gle.
ment Of the Universal Providence.
Fifth. We believe In the Lord Jesus
Christ, the son and witness Of God, who
by his ministry and character reveals
Gods otherwise unsearchable nature, and
calls the wandering, sinful children Of
men home to him through repentance
and regeneration; who endured the cross
to testify to Gods love, making himself
the supreme martyr Of the ages; who rose
from the dead to make immortality GER
tainty to all who know him by faith; who
has begun thus work Of redemption, in
iul6llment OF the purpose OF God, which
must go on through the agency OF the
Holy Spirit and OF all redeemed souls and
all moral forces, until ultimately, some
time in the endless ages, all evil is to be
destroyed, every wanderer brought home
to the Father, the universe harmOnized to
the good, and God be all in all.
On these principles our church in the
beginning planted itself. We have been
misjudged by many as standing for single
and incongruous doctrines We have known
ourselves to stand for an harmonious sys-
TEN OF doctrines. On the same founda-
ton We stand to-day. On other funda-
mental questions, as the authority OF the
Bible in matters Of faith, the practical pre-
cepts TO the Christian religion, we are in
substantial accord with the ma 9 Of schol.
arship and best accredited philosophy OF
our time. But our peculiar first prinCi-
pies, which give us our distinctiveness Us
branch Of the church and which have
been alike our false shame and true glory,
| believe to be substantially as have
stated.
