Civ Election.

The contest last Monday was be-
tween the ticket nominated Wednes-
day evening Of last week by those ia
vorinc the constitutional amendment,
and a ticket nominated at a citizens
meeting held Friday evening OF last
week. The entire "citizen" ticket was
elected. If there was any issue 1t was
license and anti-license, as majority,
if not all, of the councilmen nominated
on the "citizen" ticket are in favor OF
license, and those on the ticket nomin-
mated by the friends of the amend
ment were opposed to license. 1t is
proper t., say, however, that many
nersons who voted for the "cltizen'
ticket are strong supporters OF the con
st;tutional amendment.
The successful ticket is as follows :

Last Saturday morning Judge Tai
colt pronounced sentence on those who,
during the late term of court, had been
found guilty of crimes and misdemean-
ors. Chas. King, for an assault on
Sheriff Hodgson, was sentenced to ten
DAVIS imprisonment in the county Jail
and costs of trial. Henry Ames, con-
yicted of an assault with intent to kill,
was sentenced to six years confine-
ment to hard labor in the State peni-
tentitary. VIM. Jennings, found gull
tv of murder in the first degree, was
sentenced to be hung. Under the laws
of this State persons thus sentenced
are kept one year in the State peniten-
tiary before they are executed, and
even then it requires a special order
from the Governor before the death
nenalty can be inflicted. In passing
sentence upon Jennings Judge Talcot1
made some timely remarks in reference
to carving revolvers that were worthy
the careful consideration Of every Law
abiding citizen. The attorneys TO
Jennings have made application to tn

human history. So day" is used here
precisely as it is in the Book of Revela-
ton.
Observe also that the first three Mosaic
days were certainly not solar days.
Remark once more; the Hebrews did
not observe merely every seventh day
they observed every seventh month, and
every seventh year, and every 10th or
5Oth year. which last, beginning on the
great Day of Atonement, was called the
Yearof Jubilee, and wasinaugurated with
the blowing of trumpets throughout the
land, and the proclamation of universal
liberty. If Gods rest had been day
of twenty-four hours, these Sabbatical
months and years would have been un-
meaning. By an ascending scale, they
lead up to the idea of Gods amending
rest.
In what sense could God be said to
rest twenty-four hours?

GODS REST

The theme of the Bible is the creation
and redemption of man We are not told
about the angels nor about the fixed stars
nor about science; the information given
us refers to MAN, or rather to man in his
relation to Col, and this ercl,4siUeLy.
There is no purpose in the Bible to satisfy
our curiosity on any point; every chap
ter, every verse, is intended to bear as a
practical matter on mans relation to
God and to this exclusively. In other
words, the sole object in nature treated
Of by the Bible is MAN, and man in his
moral relations.
The first chapter of Genesis gives us in
few rapid strokes the history-or
rather the apocalyptic history-of the
creation of the heavens and the earth,
and the introduction of vegetable and
animal life, but merely just in so far as
to lead up to the grand and main theme
the apparition of man. All that went
before was merely preparatory, and Incl
dental. At each successive stage, the
work was pronounced very good, and
when the lord of all this beautiful world
was introd uced to his Paradise, the work
was complete. The six days of creation
had passed the rational moral agent, in
the image of Cod had been realized, and
then, in anthropomorphic language, we are
told that God rested that is, the next
succeeding day was the Sa56ath, Gods
rest. This does not mean that God was
fatigued by his labors and needed rest :;
the rest was essentially for man; to the
enjoyment of that rest by man all this
work had pointed Gods rest $50 far as
participated in by mani was that ineffa-
BILE eternal life which the Adamic race
was to enjoy. God, however, is repre-
sented as himself enjoying the rest. The
meaning Is, that God had finished his
work, and had produced creature
worthy of him. They-Creator and crea-
ture-were to enjoy one another, and to
enjoy this beatifc rest together.
But man ccdld not at once enter upon
that rest; he must first prove himself
worthy Of it. Therefore we have the
scene which was enacted in Eden. En-
p]oying still anthropomorphio language,
Gods plan was defeated Man sinned,
and forfeited Gods rest He was driven
out Of his Eden, and the earth was
cursed BueGod had foreseen this, and
he had further scheme for the repara-
lion Of this disaster and the restoration
Of man That scheme was Redemption.
Gods rest was still reserved and pre-
served for man through Jesus Christ, and
through the chequered history Of the Old
Testament all things were ordered look
ing to the coming Of the promised Re-
deemer, by whom man was to be recon
ciled to his Maker, and through whom
The lost rest was to be restored and ever.

AN unusually large number of our
churches" says a writer in the Interior
from st. Louis, have resorted, this sea
son, to fairs, concerts, and bazaars for the
purpose Of raising funds for church pur-
poses. This kind Of work used to be left
to the smaller churches, but now the
large and fashionable have lifted it clear
out of the reach of the feebler churches,
and in so doing have not improved its
morality, to say nothing of its prosper
lty. 1t is gratifying that none of the
Presbyterian churches have resorted to
genteel gambling, but it is humiliating
to know that any Protestant church has
done so. When our church notices in
secular papers and our large posters an
nounce that certain costly articles will be
ratified for, and that certain evenings will
be devoted to dancing for the accommo-
dation of society people, you don't have
tar to 90 to prove that piety is fast be-
coming an obsolete work. Ifrevival was
ever needed, it is needed now in the ST.
Louis churches. Even our music is de-
generated to mere art in the hands Of
amateurs, and many of our sermons avoid
theology from fear of being called old
fogy But still there are pulpits and
choirs that are not ashamed to preach
and sing the gospel In our churches
also are many members who are alive,
working Christians"
Abiding to the same subject, the New
York E'ram51er and Chronicle remarks:
%" The Congregafiono1it complains Of gam.
bling in the form of railing carried on ct the
recent Old South church fair, and Of what seems
to be the deliberate policy Of the managers The
| Congregational table was free from rafting
schemes but it is proposed by that denomina-
ton to withdraw entirely, should the law be de.
fed in The next fair as IL was in this The
facts are more serious, says The Congrcqqtion-
al,st, because it is a common occurrence for
North End gamblers to be arrested and punished
| by our courts. They are no more really guilty
than those concerned ia the rafiles of our popu-
lar fairs the difference being that the latter are
better dressed and hold pews in fashionable
churches We trust that the Rev Henry Nor

sequently great travellers, brethren often
came bringing news of other congrega-
tons, and such guests were gladly per
mitted to speak in the synagogues. We
understand thus how the early Christian
missionaries found at once an audience in
every city which they visited.
But this was not all Uhlhorn (whom
we are following informs us that the
Proselytes of the Gate were exceedingly
numerous throughout the empire. The
Jews, he remarks, We're a power in So
clety, Seneca observing of them, " The
vanquished have given laws to the vic
tors The heather, many of them, were
no longer satisfied with their old gods.
and there We're many longing, anxious
spirits who found relief in the pure mon
otheism of Judaism. These are the de-
vout men Ind women so often spoken of
IN the Acts, There was, says Uhlhorn.
in all the cities, great number of such
persons, for the most part women. In
Damascus almost all the women are said
to have belonged to this class, and. in
Rome, there were many even in the higher
circles. On the grave-stones of Jewish
families, we read names from many an
lllustriouS Old Roman family, the qe1s
tulvia, Flavia, Valina, and others. The
report spread that even the Empress
Popp@a Sabina was a proselvte. These
devout heather were everywhere the first
to receive the message of the gospel.
" How wonderfully everything here,
also, was prepared for the gospel What
Palestine was for the whole world, the
synagogue was for every city. How could
the youthful Christianity possibly have
made its way through the unyielding,
rock-lil1e mass of heathenism without the
Diaspora (Dispersion)? Now it found
channels everywhere cut, a network of
canals extending over the whole Roman
Empire. Knowing the chief seats of
Judaism, we know already in advance
the chief seats of early Christianity.
Everywhere the ways were made ready
for 1t, the centres determined. More
over, and this is very important point
we should remember that the privileges
Of Judaism they were allowed, for ex-
ample, their Sabbath-day, and were not
drafted for the army were at first of ser
vice to the Christian Church. So long as
Christianity was regarded by the heather
as Jewish sect, it appears to have been
tolerated by them Judaism served as
protecting sheath to the young plant,
until it had gathered sufficient strength
to endure the storms.
A Philosophic mind may observe in
this matter fine illustration of the meet
ing of the supernatural and the natural.
