GIL.

sic, which was crowded with people
from parquette to dome. The open
ing sermon was preached by Rev.
VIM. Paxton, of New York, from the
text, Matthew 6th, End. The first
business meeting was held in horti-
cultural hall this afternoon, when
DR.. VIM. Breed delivered an address

elected chairman of the meeting.
Some unimportant business was
transacted and the council adjourned
until 1880 p. m.

Pan-Presbyterian council were open
ed this morning with the usual deVo-
tional exercises and the offering of
prayer by Rev. DR.. Phelps and Judge
Strong, and the reading of scriptures
by the Rev. A. Buscardt, and singing
of appropriate hymns. Rev. d. A.
Wallace, d. d. LII. D., Of Wooster,
presided at the morning session. Or
der of the day, paper on inspection,
authority, and the Interpretation of
scriptures" was proceeded with. DR..
Humphreys paper, which he stated
had for its object the presentation Of
a convenient method, by which the
younger members Of the ministry
might expound the scriptures, WIS an
analytical examination of the differ
ent results of revelation, inspira =
ton and the spiritual discern
ment in the production of the
scriptures. A general discussion took
place on DR.. Hitchcocks paper, and
the general tone of discussion was in
approval Of the paper and an accept
ance of it's conclusions that the Pres
byGerian church service would doubt-
less be improved by the introduction
of biological features. The sos~,on
was concluded by discr ION of DR..
Humphreys paper on Inspiration ard
Authenticity and Interpretation
of the scriptures. Rev. Thomas S.
Parker, D. D., of Easton Pa, pre-
sided over and opened with prayer.
During the afternoon session a pa
per was read on the subject of " dis
tinctive principles of Presbyterian
ism by Samuel j. Wilson,
D. D. L. L. D., of Alleghaney city,
whose paper was devoted to proving
that Presbyterianism is apostolic and
scriptural in it's form of government,
and that Presbyterian, and not pre-
latte, bishops are bishops in the true
sense.
This was followed by a paper by
Rev. John Dewitt, of Philadelphia,
on the subject of, ''Worship of re-
formed churches" which, in the
main, was a plea for the divorce Of
artistic from spiritual in church ser
vices, and the subordination of ma
terial aesthetic elements to higher
intellectual and moral powers in
giving expression to the worship OF
God.
The remaining paper was by Rev
DR.. G. II. Read, D. D., of Richmond
Va, on the subject of Ruling el
ders."

asm and nucleus of the Celestial
guard already formed of sixty of the
richest Cinnamon in the capitol, and a
corps OF six hundred of the best Chi
nese society is offered. The exodus
from Lima still continues. The mis-
sion of Minister Christiancy was to
present certain claims TO Chill for
damages to American property du-
ring the war. The Chilians are also
actively engaged in recruiting the
army to undertake march on
Lima, and are getting ready vessels for
the transportation of the force. A
portion of the force will be employed
in devastating the northern provinces
OF Peru and destroying the magnifi-
cient sugar estates to be found in the
rich valleys there.
AT Valparaiso on August 18th, as

The American Newspaper Di-
recfOfy.
We have received the American
Newspaper Directory for 1880, pub
lished by Geo. P. Rowell & Co., of
New York, and consider it the best
work of the kind we have received.
AS matter of course, there are doubt
less some mistakes in the estimated
circulation Of some of the papers. yet
we belive the blame does not rest with
Mr.. Rowell, and that he tries to give,
and does give, as reliable " ork Of the
kind as can possibly be gotten up.
We have had business relations with
Mr.. Rowell ever since we first com-
menced the publication of the paper,
over ten years ago, and must say that
our relations have been of the most
satisfactory kind. Webs never had
any cause of complaint. and our bills
have always been promptly met.

what the rejoicing meant. All agreed
thata safe and capable and upright man
who had not sought, but fully deserved
the honor, had won, and Christians felt
that the hand of God was in It.
1t took very little time to fling out a
hundred flags to the breeze, or set out
barrel Of lemonade for the crowd, or
to get out banners and notices before
the Ink was scarcely dry. A street pa
rade, led by the band wagon drawn by
four white horses, caparisoned with the
red, white and blue, had features of dig
nifty combined with the very ludicI Gus,
which drew out of their homes those
who had not previously responded.
When cannon and rockets began to
have voice in the proceedings, timid
dogs fastened into retirement, and the
intrepid boy crowded nearer, and met
all expectations in the line of noise.
From the American House the crowd,
ut evening, was addressed by Gen.Vor-
hees of Akron, c. w. Horr, T. Herrick,
w. r. Wean, Hon. L. Heriick, Prof.
Kinnison aud others.

For Congress .

Having no personal acquaintance
with the gentlemen whose names have
been suggested for candidates for Re-
publican nomination for Congress from
this district, and knowing very little
OF them by reputation, We have not
thought 1t wise to express a preference.
Lorain has no candidate and only wants
good man. We would suggest that it
would be well to elect delegates and
send them uninstructed, leaving them
free to select the best candidates from
those presented by other counties in
the district. Other things being equal,
let us give preference to soldier, and
as between the soldiers let us have one
Of clear head, pure heart, and whose
life has been and now is a pat
tern of good morals and worthy
of imitation. Let our political
system be builded and sustained on the
basis of right principle, following in
the lire of our recent nomination for
the chief magistrate Of the nation, and
the future Of our politics shall give us
glory and honor; and its redemption
from trickery, corruption, and fraud
shall speedily come.

BRIGHTON.

June 8, 1880.
Decoration Day was observed as usual
here. The slight rain interfered but
little with the exercises. Several graves
contain the remains of the heroes whose
dust was brought here for burial, and q
mound represents the graves Of those
whose mortal part rests in the sunny
south. After the decoration the pro-
cession marched back to the town hall,
where two excellent addresses were de-
.liSered, one by Rev. Mr.. Gleason Of
Rochester, and the other by Prof. Shurt-
lift of Oberlin.

COMMUNICATED.
For Congress, Who?

As the number Of candidates for Con-
gress increases in this district, the rels-
tive strength Of each decreases. There
is an excellent opportunity this Fall for
the vo,ers to do their own work. These
men We know, and their respective mcr-
its are not matters of vague uncertainty,
but Of absolute knowledge. And now il
the people arc hoodwinked and led by
political wire pullers, they have nobody
to blame but themselves. As the com.
pctent man among them all for the re-
sponsible place which the Hon. Monroe
is about to leave vacant, none seems SO
fit as Major Mcclure, of Wooster. By
his faithful and efficient effort the Dem
ocratic msjority in his county has been
gradually made less and less, and if he
is nomin ated he will without doubt car
ry his county by good majority. Be-
sides Wayne Co., ought by right to have
a congressman this time If she has the
man, and she has. p. Fl.

reckoning from Creations morning till
now would like to know by what means
we are to ascertain which day in the
seven is the one holy day pre-eminent
above all others. We have q notion that
il one day in seven Is kept according to
the commandment the selection of the
particular day may be safely left to the
judgment ana convenience of Christen-
dom, and that too without danger Of
giving offence to Jehovah.
l sometimes think, after listening to
the earnest, eloquent discourses of my
second advent friends, what has all this
to do with the practical questions of
lifei What difference does it make to
me whether the beast that Daniel saw
refers to Jerusalem or the judgment, or
whether he had ten horns and one tail,
or ten tails and one horn. like the
clause in Revelations that says: "Who-
soever will, let him psrtake of the water
of life freely, and the plain declaration
of Christ, ''If any man will be my disci-
pie let him take up his cross and follow
me-; and "Ceasc to do evil and learn to
do WE'LL" The practical and essential
duties Of life are plain and simple, and
it hardly pays to be running after mys-
teries and uncertainties that can be Of
no earthly value If solved.

Prophecy.

We attended Second Advent meet
ing few nights since. The preacher
seemed earnest and sincere and we may
add somewhat logical. According to
his calculations the great clock of time
is pointing to the last quarter. He in
terpreted various prophecies illustrated
by figures and diagrams, all going to
show, according to his reasoning, the
truth of Ills theories. But it seems to
me that IL God saw fit TO have these BIZ
BILE writer. reveal to this generation or
apy other away down the line of time,
when Christ was to make his second sd.
vent into the world, lie could have in
spired them to write that in 1880 or 1890
as the case might be, time should be 20
more.
To take the dreams and visions of
Nebuchsdnezzer, Daniel, and John the
Reyelator, and arrange them as q literal
chronology of time, Is about like the
new puzzle Of 13-15-14-it depends en-
tirely upon how they are manipulated.
Take the histories of political govern
ments and undertake to trace them in
all their complicated changes and apply
to them the figurative dreams of two
thousand years ago would require as
much inspiration 10 make the right Gp-
plication as it would to do the dreaming.
Since history began there have
been hundreds of natiens that have
entirely disappeared. The antiquities
of North and South America give unmis-
taxable evidence of having once been
occupied by races OF people well advauc.
cd in civilization, but not one living de-
scendant or one scrap of history is left
to tell the story of their origin or the
cause of their eternal fOrgetfulness.
Others are only known as they appear in
the histories of the past fierce conflicts
that have been wsged among all nations
snd tribes, civilized and savage. have
looked upon the prophecies as relating
to the Jews especially, and that the key
note of the old testament was the first
advent of Christ into the world, that tho
object and result of Christ's Mission as
eshadowed by the prophets was to ex-
hibit a perfect type Of human life, to
lift fallen man out of his sinfrl condi-
.ion, and that when the Lessons that
Christ taught were fully understood and
prscticsd. the final end for which He
came would be accomplished and then
would the end be.
1t may be that God divides everything
by seven and that it is binding upon all
men to keep the seventh day holy, but

Chicago ConveAtion.

Never In our political history has a
nominating convention excited such in
tense interest over all the country as
the one just held. The people at home
were quite as absorbed in watching the
course Of events and awaiting the result
as the actors themselves. The candi-
dates before the convention were almost
without exception good ard strong men
and any one Of them would have made
a spirited canyass. Each had able
workers-the representative men, the
best blood and the best brains Of the
nation engaged In a friendly contest
for President of the United States. 1t
was verify battle Of the princes and
an event worthy Of cSmmemoration for
all time. As was expected, Grant,
Blaine and Sherman were the leading
candidates with several others of lesser
importance. During the early part of
the Convention twas expected that the
successful man would be one of those
mentioned above, but occasionally evil
deace Of the great popularity Of Gen.
Garfield in the Convention were shown
by the spontaneous applause given him
whenever he made his appearance until
finally 1t began to dawn on the country
and to be suggested and prophecied by
the press aud others, that he, more
than any other among those who could
be considered one Of the ''dark horses,
was likely to be the coming man. The
leading candidates started out with
votes as follows: Grant, 304; Blaine,
2S4; Sherman, o.; and continued
through 81 ballots with very little vari-
alton. On the 35th, however, It hav-
ing become evident that no combination
could be. made that would elest either
Of the three, the Blaine men made .
break for Garfield, and as state after
state was called the followers Of all the
candidates, except Grant, wheeled into
line, and at the conclusion Garfield was
found to be nominated by q majority of
y votes, the ballots standing, Garfield,
S99, Grant, 306; Blaine, 4s; Sherman,
8; Washburn, 5.
On the result being announced the
Convention went wild with joy which
spread to the city, and as the news went
over the wires to distant towns and cit-
les the contagion spread, and Republic
cara all over this country held high
carnival. Wellington never before sent
up such a shout. BusiDess was almost
suspended. Men aud boys took OF their
hats and shouted and hurrahed them
selves hoarse. Every bell rope was
quickly reached, aud q changing chorus
told the whole township that good news
hal come. People came hurrying In
from the surrounding country to learn

which comes the largest portion of our

their willingness to beg, and tendency to
