Court closed yesterday. Before ad-
journing Geo. 2. Flannery, on behalf OF
the Burleigh county bar,presented Judge
Barnes with petition to the president
signed by every member of the bar in
Burleigh county and the court officials,
requesting the reappointment OF Judge
Barnes. This was the proper thing to do
During the eight years OF official life in
this territory scarcely an error can be
charged up to Judge Barnes. He has
been prompt in disposing OF the business
bofore him; courteous i'll his treatment OF
the members of the bar, and as kind and
Just in his relations to them as parent
should be in his family relations. With
out carping he has pointed out their er-
rors, and led them out of difficult or un-
pleasant positions on to solid ground and
the Tribune doubts if there are half a
dozen persons in Burleigh county who
would not gladly join in this petition for
reappointment. This token of confidence
on the part OF the bar was unexpected and
the judge showed unusual feeling in re-
ply. He SAID that next to his family he
esteemed the members of the Burleigh
county bar, and during his eight years
connection with them he could not recall
an unpleasant incident. He spoke kind
ly of them all aud Of the court officers,
but particularly Of Alexander Mckenzie,
sheriff, who by his vigilance had brought
swift punishment to many offenders and
had accomplished far more than was
generally known for the protection of
our people and of their rights, and it
afforded him pleasure to thus publicly
acknowledge his great services and COM
mend him for it.

street Car Accident,

Chicago, Dec. Slate last night while
an Archer avenue street car, fairly loaded
with passengers, was crossing the Lake
Shore Il Michigan Southern railroad
tracks at Clark street, it was run into by
switch engine and lifted clear off the
tracks and dumped alongside the railway
track. Nine passengers were injured.
@. Halloran, the driver, had his leg bro
ken and is also injured internally; Mich
mol Kennedy was also dangerously hurt.
The others are not in any danger. 1t is
not yet definitely ascertained who is res
ponsible for the accident. None of the
passengers on the street car were fatally
injured so far as known, but several were
bruised. The names and the extent Of
their injuries cannot be learned. The
blame seems to rest chiefly with the Lake
Shore authorities, who failed to provide
the usual signal lights, u watchman at
the crossing and the bell signal. The
engineer OF the locomotive, N. J. Ford,
was looked up last night and this morn.

INVALID FUND

The report on Home Missions laid be-
fore the late General Assembly stated
that during last year 122 families had
been aided from the Invalid Fund. This
simple statement is eloquent with sugges-
tive thought. These families contain per-
haps some four or five hundred persons.
Among them are aged ministers worn
out In the Masters service Others, by
reason of anxiety and labor, are prema-
turely laid aside from active work, and
patiently wait the will of God. Tender
women-aged matrons, lonely widows,
little children, have been succored and
kept from want, and blessed in the name
of Jesus. They are Christ's disciples, {"
therefore we care for them. Nearly ten
thousand dollars was conveyed to them
from the churches through this channel,
and by this benefaction they have been
enabled to live and have been cheered.
Not single application for aid was de-
cllned during the year, though in some
cases not as much was appropriated as
was needed. Still the good DONE. the
want relieved, the comfort bestowed can
not be estimated. And the best of it is,
1T was all well bestowed, upon those who
from every point of view are deserving,
and who are near and dear to us, God s
people and members of our household of
faith and who have special claim upon
US. 1t is pleasant to look back and see
what God has wrought through this an
pretending agency 1t is a cause for
thankfulness that we have been able to
accomplish so much. But let us look
forward too, and whitley rejoice in duty
accomplished and good done, let us ad-
dress ourselves to what is still before us
in behalf of the Master and his needy
people. Most of these beloved and needy
onesare still dependent upon the Church s
bounty. The supplies furnished them
are well nigh spent. Their little store
must be again replenished, and we who
last year ministered to them in the name
of Christ must come forward again and
give them helping hand. The July
collection for this object will soon be upon
us, and it behooves US all to remember
that in doing good to one of the least
of these" we do it to the Master himself.

PRINCETON.

At Princeton they teach no doubt, good
sound, thorough Presbyterian doctrine, which is
useful IN its way, but in general practical utility
not to be compared to sanitary science. Is tt
| impossible for them to teach both2 We trust
not. Or, if it is we hope that, while they preach
Presbyterianism, they may at least practise the
other. What is the use of teaching boys how to
fight the evil one in his absolute manifestations
OF tire and birthstone and leaving them in ignor-
ance how to fight him in sewer gas? Ten to
one you will find him in sewer gas oftener than
IN pure birthstone. Sulphuretted hydrogen is
the most odorous of the sewer elements, and per
haps that is the newest fashion affected by the
neither divinities, who from time immemorial
have been VIGOROUSLY fond of sulphur. Who
knows but what if all our theological institu-
lions would take chemical hint on this head it
might be useful to them? 1t is more than doubt
full whether fighting the enemy with fire is of
much use now; but if they will practise brigades
of students in the important methods and the
cries of sanitary science they may accomplish
great things.-N Y. Herald
The essential idea in the foregoing is
that Christianity is pretty much hum
bug, and especially all this talk about
future retribution. The Herald gives
expression to what thousands believe who
have picked up little smattering of our
modern materialistic literature. The
great thing is sewer gas"-how to get
rid Of that; when man dies and his
bones are left in the ground, -well, we
don't know much about it, but we haven t
got time to think about such things.
=" Let the dead bury their dead" For
US, our present business is, con with the
Dance, and Get rid of the Sewer-Gas. .
Very well, Mr.. Herald; you may play
at this game Dives played at it of old
Voltaire, Tom Paine, Jim Fiske, Boss
Tweed, etc., have played at it since; but
you will have TO deal with this sewer gas
after you leave the Herald office. what
soever a man soweth that shall he reap
You may fight the sewer gas" off for
the present; you may shut it down so
that it cannot get into your parlors; but
it will revisit you in the "pale moonlight
Of the cemetery, and break out with a
malignity that no sanitary science" can
hold in check.

He believed that God would show to
other Christians through him that He
does answer prayer.
Now, is it not possible that in the
field of Christian missions, for example,
if the Church believed with profounder
faith in the power of prayer, greater re-
suits would follow? When the minister
endeavors to bring new converts into the
Church, does he not feel that it is the
prayer of faith that must bring down the
blessing from on high? The evangelical
minister, at least, does not rely on fine
sermons, or on floral decorations, but
knows very well that when his o,on heart
is right, then he may look for the bless
ing. The pOsoer originates in the bosom
of the praying Church.

TEE S0Nthe1M CturcImats in referring

The Southern Churchmaas in referring
to the late General Assembly, says:
1--WE learn also that the Assembly refused to
make further deliverance on dancing and
worldly amusements, which drew from Rev Mr..
Quigg, of Atlanta the following - He thought
the Church was in peril. He came from the
Presbytery in which the question under discus
sion first arose. In Atlanta, since the deliver
ance OF the Louisville Assembly the world SAYS
that the Presbyterians have no law, and for
nifty miles around church members are dancing
and horse racing at will -
The Churchmdn is in error in stating that the
refusal of the Assembly to make any further
deliverance on dancing and worldly amusements,
drew from Mr. Quigg the remarks quoted. The
remarks of Mr.. Quigg were made at another
time, and in the discussion of another question,
viz, whether the deliverances of the Assembly
have the force Of law' To avoid all npisappre-
hension, if possible, on the part of Presbyterians
and others, it may be proper to state what was
the action of the Assembly, and the reasons
given for it. We quote from the proceedings
"On the overture from the Presbytery of
Athens, asking the Assembly to make more
full and explicit deliverance on the subject of
dancing and worldly amusements, the commit
tee on bills and overtures made the following
report, which was adopted.
This Assembly declines making any such de-
liverance-
LIST. Because the deliverances of former Assem-
blies on the subject are as full and specific as
the nature of the case allows.
I'd. Because the evils referred to are to be
met, not by resort to the deliverances of the AS
sembly but rather by care on the part of the
courts of original jurisdiction"
Now by referring. to the deliverances of
former Assemblies on this subject" especially at
the sessions of 1865, 1869, and 1877, it will be
seen that they are not only as full and specific
as the nature of the case allows" but as full
and specific as language could well make
them; and all this testimony the Assembly of
1879 did "most solemnly and affectionately
reiterate." And now what more could the As
sembly of 1880 do than to refer to these former
deliverances, and say that the evils are to be
met not by resort to deliverances of the General
Assembly, but rather by care on the part of the
courts of original Jurisdiction? If the evils are
not corrected, the pastors and church sessions
are to blame.

THE NATURAL CONSEL
OUENCE

In an article on the Religious Drift
in New England" the Ne,o York Times
gives an ugly picture of the state of re-
lgious sentiment in the home of the hu-
manitarians. We extract few sentences
Speaking freely orthodoxy, since eternal pun.
ishment has ceased to be its spur to activity, has
rapidly drifted into the position once held by
the Charming Unitarians. Its distinctive evan
gelica. features are going or gone"
The drift of the religious life in New England
can thus be said to be chiefly in the direction OF
free thought and spiritual indifference. Its old
religious institutions and its old creeds are alike
passing away and it may be seriously questioned
whether any thing quite so positive or helpful
is taking their place" 49,
The religious outlook in New England to-
day is far from being hopeful the drift is plain
ly enough towards free thought, but what is
there beyond2" EN- amrl

"Since eternal punishment has ceased
to be its spur to activity, orthodoxy has

it will be wherever this doctrine is ex-
planned away, as is now being attempted

CREDULITY and superstition are not
strange in Central Africa But it GER
tainly does look strange to read the fol-
lowing in French newspaper published
in Toulouse):
"a priest at the railway station lately asked
man to hold flask for him During the absence
OF the clergyman the man took sip out of the
flask, thinking that it might be brandy. TWAS,
however, water from Lourdes. The effect of the
draught was that the man renowned the Pro-
testant religion, became Catholic and begged
to be allowed to make confession on the return
of the priest"
This is the religion that few foolish
people born in America want to substi-
tute for Professionalism. Young ladies
think it is sentimental.

M. MoNTEIL says that the French
clergyman loves roast capon stuffed with
bohed ortolans and served with truffles
chastened with champagne. There are
dainty clergymen to be found also in
America-men who love the pleasures Of
the table and their own ease. What does
Paul mean, writing to Timothy, by En-
dure hardness as good soldier of Jesus
Christi" Does any one suppose that
Timothy (who our Episcopal friends in
sist was bishop got a salary of $4,000
or $4,000 year?
We take it that one of the primary
conditions for making good Christian
worker, as a general rule for the Church,
is to subject him to an environment
of hardness; and it is at least some
satisfaction for the poor pastor to know,
who has to struggle for food and shelter,
that he needs just that exercise to make
him efficient.
We mean no reflection on some of the
excellent men in our large cities who are
getting very large salaries. But it would
not be well for the clergy as class to
have large incomes

Gladstone's cabinet, filing the position of

AS chancellor he has forty church livings

This shows the want of logic in an Estab-

Quaker appoint Episcopal ministers? Mr..
Gladstone has also appointed two Roman
Catholics to high ofHce-the Marquis of

THE INCONSISTENT LIVES of Christians,
that is the trouble. Infdelity is holding
high carnival all over the land, and the
chief weapon which it yields in its re-
morseless assaults on our cherished hopes
and beliefs is the contrast between the
PREACHING and the PRACTICE of Chris
tians. 1t is you, who profess to love the
Lord, that by your n-Christlike manners
give the sceptic and the scoffer occasion
to point the finger of scorn at your Mas
ter. He is wounded in the house of his
friends.
