The Promises of God and the
Promises of Satan.

From the early days of mans existence
to the present time, Satan has set up has
promises in opposition to those of God.
And from Adam and Eve, through all
ages and generations, foolish man has
trusted the father of lies in preference to
the God of truth
God made covenant with Adam, con-
ditioned upon his obedience, which was
accompanied with promised blessings, such
as only infinite wisdom and love would
have devised, and also with threat Of
certain death in case of disobedience.
The Devil fatty denied that God would
infict the threatened penalty for disobe-
dience, and promised that instead of los
ing by it. man should gain increased
knowledge and coveted blessings. Man
doubted God, trusted the Devil, and fell
from the happy estate wherein he was
created. The Holy Spirit forsook his
polluted temple; the unclean spirit took
possession; the divine image was efaced,
and Satan image impressed in its stead.
Soon, too soon, alas Satan's promises
began to be realized. And now, Adam
and Eve, gkulling amidst the trees Of the
garden from the presence of God, ashamed
Of their folly, and fearful Of impending
ruin, discovered too late, by their own
sad experience, that Gods promises were
true. And they are as true to-day as
then, while Satans are as false as ever
they were. Yet how many, even in this
Christian land, are now repeating the

Shelley, the poet, says: Religion, in
the mind of an Italian Catholic, is adora-
ton, faith, submission, penitence, blind
admiration; not a rule for moral conduct.
1t has no necessary connection with any
one virtue. The most atrocious villain
may be rigidly devout, and, without any
shock to establish faith, confess himself
to be so. Religion is, according to the
temper of the mind which it inhablts, a
passion, a persuasion, an excuse, refuge;

Should Christians Pay Tithes


In common with many others, have
been much interested in Rev NJ. H.
Houston's articles upon the support of
the ministry, published in several of our
papers And quite agree with him in
his most important conclusion, that it is
now the duty of all Christians to devote
TO God and His service Casually through
the.churo, TO which they belong an
honest tenth ofS6hat Godayearly gives
them. l have also read the articles Of
Rev. James NJ Rawlings which have ap-
peared more recently in the Central
wherein he oriticises the Interpretation
given by Mr.. Houston of certain pas
sages, and as he supposes, demolishe8 sew
eral Of the main arguments IN favor Of
the 1.-THE law 1t is certainly not my
purpose to enter into this discussion: both
these brethren are well able to take care
of themselves and of their interpretations
ofScripture. But 1 think it can be shown,
that, even with Mr.. Rawlings interprc-
tation, Mr.. Houstons conclusion is cor
rect.
No intelligent student of the Bible, no
true Presbyterian certainly, will doubt
or question either of the following pro-
positions:
l. The teachings Of the Bible as to
truth and duty are the same IN both IsS-
tan1euts, 1. e., every great doctrine taught,
every great principle laid down, every
great duty enjoined in the Old, is found
also in the New
2. The changes and differences, IN pass
ing from the old TO the Men, are those
of grolOth and Development The differ
ences are all and only as to externals,
times, places, modes, etc, the changes, if
any, are all in the direction of ease, free
dom, fullness, enlargement, Increase
The duty, (and we have to do with duty

only made more plain, more easy, more
full more binding, IN order that there
mag be more of
The application of these principles is
manifold and very easy. 1t is as broad
as, for it includes, the whole circle OF
Christian duty: and any one in almost
any case can make this application, e. g.,
Tie vOrshlp of God whether public,
social, family or private. This is duty
enioined in both Testaments and prac-
tised in every dispen8ation; only in the
New, it is simpler, freer, easier as to its
modes, and with motives higher and
stronger even than those which constrain-
ed the Patriach or the Jew to worship
the God of his fathers. And all this, in
order that Gods people now may worship
Him not less, but more than Of old
Other instances might be given; but let
this suffice
Now apply these principles to the mat
ter in hand. In the Old Testament it
was always the privilege and duty Of
Gods people to lay aside for God part
Of what He gave them rand this part
was neUer less than one-tsnth, so far as the
record goes. In other words, under both
Patriarchal and Jewish dispensatiOns
God permitted and required all His PEG
pie to honor Him with their substance;
but never allowed them with His approval
to lay aside for Him, less than a 1.-THE Of

ton OF twenty Years. Tor More Ago.
When Mr.. John Wise was lost in his
balloon, called .The Pathfinder" several
weeks ago, the newspapers printed many
accounts of trips made into the air, some
by brave men and some by foolish ones.
A lady who lives in the town of Contra
liza, i'm the state of Illinois, said nothing
until all the rest were done talking.
Then one day last week, she told the ed
itOr of the ST. Louis Republican to look
into the number of the Republican. that
was printed on the 2lst day of Septem-
Der, 1858. The editor looked and found
an account of how two little children
took trip in balloon all by themselves.
On that day an aerOnaut named Brooks
filled his air ship with gas On the farm
of a Mr.. Harvey, who lived near Cen
tralia. He expected to sail up i'm the af-
ternOOn., About neOntime MIR. Harvey
put his two children into the basket of
the balloon just please them, anu not
thinking for moment of any DANGER.
The balloon was tied to tree by ropes.
All at once gust of wind broke the
ropes and the balloon shot up into the
sky with nobody but The two children in
the basket. Mr.. Harvey was. wild with
grief and shouted: ''Thty 'wfSst, they're
lostp All the neighbOrs raii to the spot
only to see the balloon drifting off to
the north and more than a mile high.
One of the children was girl Nettie, s.
years old. and the other was her little
brother, Willie, years old. Both cried
when they found themselves leaving the
ground and going on a veiy, very
strange journey indeed. Nettie looked
over the edge of the basket and saw her
father wringing his hands away below.
Soon the people looked to her smaller
than babies and the houses like TOW

The strange man was farmer, in north

drifting low down across his field. The,
rope was dragging and so he caught it
and landed the children safely. The
balloon had fiOated all night. Nettie
