WesIeyis urchmanShip.

The London Methodist Recorder deals
boldly with the assertion that John
Wesley lived and died high churchman.
1t says: Wesley's course from 1873,
and the principles upon which he acted,
are utterly at variance with high church
ism. Was he high churchman when
in 1879 he organized separate religious
societies /; when in 1740 he built meet.
ing houses and settled them upon
trustees for his own use when in 1741
ne called out lay preachers; when in
1744 he established annual conferences {;
when in 1884 he constituted the legal
conference as it has subsisteG ever since /;
when he ordained presbyters for America,
for Scotland, and at last even for Eng
land? \ > How high was Wesley /?
Take one crucial point. The key of the
high church position is the dogma of
apostoIical succession. This he describes
in 1775 as a fable which no man ever
did or can prove Again, from the year
1745 onward he held firmly to the
equality of bishops and presbyters, rec
ognizing nothing more than a difference
of official rank between them. Every
thing that bishop could do presbyter
could do. On this principle Wesley
ordained presbyte1s, and believed that
he thus conveyed every right which he
himself possessed, including ordination.
All this is to cut up high churchism by
the roots. OF what use is it to quote
words and predictions of another cast d?
These are simple survivals of a former
stage, which Wesley did not and could
not cast off all at once. st. Peter did
not unlearn his Judaism, or Luther his
popery, all at once.

The Queer Turks.

The climate. of Constantinople re.
sembles pretty closely that of Washing
ton, and life there is by no means disa-
greeable, although restricted socially.
There is no society in our meaning of
the term. With US society means the
association of the sexes, but in Turkey
you never see the wives of your friends,
and it would be a grave breach of good
manners to inquire after their health.
A Turk makes no reference to his tamil
ly. no matter how intimate be may be
with you. Turkish gentlemen visit the
families of Christians and know how to
behave politely in ladies' company, but
they never introduce gentlemen to their
own households. This is tine rule of all
Mohammedan countries. The Persian
minister st Constantinople occasionally
gives receptions at ihis house, which are
attended by Christian ladies. He shows
his guests the arrangement of his harem,
but its occupants are carefully secluded
from their gaze. There is TO court in
the European sense of the term. On
ceremonial occasions no women appear.
The Turks with whom came in contact
in my official intercourse with the gov
eminent are men of 6ne appearance,
dressed with scrupulous care, very neat
in their persons and exceedingly polite
in their manners. They talk in low,
pleasing tones. Many of taem speak
French and few English.

Home Religion.

Home religion is thing of the heart
which is the same as saying that it is
thing of love. 1t may exist in connec-
ton with forms; and it may exist in its
sweetest unfolding independent of forms.
1t may say grace at the table and it
may not say grace at the table. 1t may
be gifted TO sustain family altar; and
it may not have the gift requisite. But
if the heart be right, there shall be grace
and prayerfulness albeit forms be lack
ing in the family. There is a way of
eating your food which thanks God bet
ter than any formal grace-saying that
can be devised. There is way of kiss.
ing the wife after the meal, and the
husband is leaving for the Office, which
covers the whole ground between hus-
band and wife intended to be covered by
the influence OF the family altar. We
have known man ask blessing on food
which he himself condemned in the very
next breath. To thank God for food,
and seold your wife or the cook in the
next breath because the STEAK is over
done, or the cakes not Drowned to your
suiting, or the tea too strong, is some
thing more, friend, than impiety it is
indecency. Home religion should be
loving, first of all, and last of all it
should believing. 1t should be very pa
tient, too-especially on those days when
it is hard to be patient. 1t should be
cheerful, especially when it takes wit to
invent occasions of mirthfulness. 1t
should be brave, not to face the trou-
bles that are without, but the troubles
that are within. A kindly word, a
pleasant speech, cheerful or sympathe-
tic look, q touch of the hand in the old
tender fashion of The counting days, a
stroking of the cheek md the soft move
ment of the palm over the hair. " Fool

it, friend. You didn't think that they
were foolish tricks once, and you were
wiser then than you are now that you
have dropped them. A little mere court

OF love is wiser than the wisdom of hate &;
and the more foolish you are in these !
the happier will your home |
be, and the sweeter will be your home |

Goddard and Others! Was it real, or a
vision, naturally came into the MIND?
There, over three hundred miles from
home, among strangers, and som g
three hundred miles from the Federal
lines, and yet here appeared men who
had made their way that great distance
through country guarded by rebels !!
1t was true, h0wever, and they Joined
our company
These men brought q gloomy &C.
count of affairs from home. The Con-
federacy had passed q consoript act,
and preparations were being made for
its rigid enforcement, while the with
draWaI of the Federal forces from Cum
berIand Gap, had greatly emboldened
them In their undertaking, while
Union men were hiding out and in
great trouble on account of the Oppres-
sion.
Here, in accordance with republican
ideas, az observed in our civil affairs,
but not belonging to the despotism Of
the military, the company went
through the fOrmality Of an election of
officers, which were afterwards duly
ratified by appointment. The follows
Pickens, Captain Ben Cunningham,
Let Lieutenant Lavater Wear, 2Gd
Lieutenant; w. FL. Sloan, lst Ser
geant The other nOn-commissioned
officers were also elected, hut have
not the list at hand at this time.
On the 21st clothes were issued 10 US,
and, perhaps, there were some of the
proudest boys there that That section Of
Ohio has ever known. Stepping out
of the dirty, ragged clothes, some of
which had been worn over 300 miles,
and putting on the clean, new Yankee
blue was enough 10 make men proud.
On the 22nd the command again took
no the march and the next day arrived
at Gallinolis, camping just above the
city and opposite the mouth OF the
Kanawha river. On the 7lh Of No
vember, another surprise was given by
The arrival Of three hundred East
Tennesseeaus, many of whom were
from Blount county, WHO Joined the
End Tennessee cavalry. This brings
to mind a rather laughable occurrence
not connected exactly with the Third
Cavalry, yet it is tCo good to be lost.
Gen. Spears was in the habit Of almost
constantly testing the sentinels who
were camp guards. OF nights he would
pass around, sometimes in Disguise
and attempt to cross the beats. me
Second Cavalry had gathered up sew
eral horses and were camped right
along near the guard line, their horses
hitcned very close to the beats. The
General came along one night and
went up to horse, began rubbing and
fOndling with him so that the guard
would be likely 10 take him for the
owner of the horse. The owner, how
ever, was near at hand and on the
lookout for the good of his horse, and
seeing some one petting the animal,
thought it was 3 thief, 30 be slipped
up behind the General and watched
his chance. The General rubbed the
horse on and STOPPING over TO rub his
legs, the owner gave him tTemen-
dous kick from the rear, sending him
away from the animal. The General
Strengthened up in fit Of anger, doub'
ling and trebling his oaths, when the
countryman found he had kicked the
General, he became alarmed and run
of; while Gen. Spears saw the ridicu-
lous situation and burst into q tit OF
laughter.
