THE WORSHIP OF THE REFORMED CHURCH.
Es FOUNDED IN TRUTH


In submitting to the Council some
thoughts touching the worship of the Re-
formed Churches I must, because limited
IN time, confine myself to considera-
ton of the ideas which have determined
it's characteristic forms, REFRESHING what
| should have been glad to say as to
its historical development. Religious
feelings and the acts by which thew are
both awakened and expressed NAV be ar
ranged under the objects on which thew
terminate. Those which terminate on
the actors, the subject of the feel
ings fall under the head of The Means
Of Grace; such as terminate on other
men are included in the term Be-
nevolence while those which term
mate in God fall under the head Of
Worship. But all religious acts term
mate ultimately in God. Means of grace
and benevolence, as well as worship.

Hence, worship, in large sense. pro-
perly includes all religious feeling and
action. And it is in this larger sense
that it is used, when made to designate
the whole round Of the public services
OF the house Of God, as in the phrase the
worship Of the Reformed Churches. The

II the Republican newspapers
could prove the falsity Of the
charges preferred by themselves
4gainst Garfield and Arthur their
advocacy of the party candidates
would be perfectly consistent and
ju4ti6able True, they would at
the same time prove their own uu-
reliability; but their plight Ia that
event would he scarcely more pitia-
ole than 1t 10 at present. As the
case now stands they are forced to
defend the personal worth OF men
whom they Themselves condemned
on evidence that ,hSs never been
dieproved. In order to divert pub
lie attention from the ugly facts Of
their record they have beeu' indus-
triously throwing d,rt ever since
the Canvass opened. Thus iar, they
have miserabiy failed to bHnd the
people to the fact that Messrs, Gar
field and Arthur stand convicted
By Republican, testimony: Garfield
for brlbe-taking, perjury and re-
peated seii-stu GcatlCni Arthur
for political extravaganza and
wrong doing so 6a3rsnt as to cause
his removal from the collectoIship
of the port Of New York on these
specific grounds by a Republican
President. Whenever the staIwart
editors urge this or that absurd sto-
ry about the Democratic party or It's
candidates, a crushing answer IS al
ways ready. you yourselves, tits
only necessary for Democrats to say,
"have convicted both your candi-
Iates of the gravest pc itical often
ses, The worst you have urged
against our side Is trivial, even If
there were a particle Of evidence TO
sustain the charg, az compared with
what you have not only alleged but
proven against yopr nominees both
for the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency. Our case against them was
once your case against then. 1t
rests OIL evidence furnished by you
and on evidence which not one Of
you has yet attempted to controvert
or even to deny" This, it strikes
US. is a complete and final answer
to anything the Republican journals
may haye to say. Let them first
wipe out. as with a sponge, the rec
ord which they themselves hove
fastened upon the characters OF
their Lomipees. Until they eau do
this they simply waste their time m
attempting to convince any bpt ;he
most pigoted members OF their Own
party that Messrs. Garfield aus
Arthur are worthy to FIJI the lofty
positions to which they aspire:

ing to prove that TO Republican leg
islation 10 due the prosperity W hich
the country happens TO be enjoying
just at present. Nothing could be
further from the truth, There Is
not, in fact, a single Law paesed by
a Republican Congress which can
be said to have affected the indus
trial condition Of the nation iavora
bly,. Some Republicans plume
themselves upon the fact that the
alleged Resumption Of specie. pay
ments was effected under the Hayes
administration. But Who made re-
sumption necessary Who flooded
tie country with a deprecated cur
rency2 As matter fact dIshon-
est money was first put forth by
Republican Congress against the
vote OF every Democrat IL bot
houses. All efforts TO make that
money really honest have been com
b4tted with tie whole strength OF
the party ORGANIC ,tlon from that
day TO this. That further leglsla
ton will probably be needed to
make resumption peipanent L,
conceded even by the extreme or
gans Of the Republican party, and
such Legislation must necessarily be
in the line laid down by Mr. Bayard.
The utter absurdity OF the Rel NO
hcan plea that resumption has beeu
secured by them is ehown by two
simple and incontrovertible facts
first, even such resumption as We
now enjoy would never have been
possible without the accident oil
good crops with which we have
been blessed for several years in
succession and second, the resulnp-
ton ABOUT which Mr.. Sherman
talks 20 much is merely nominal |
AS fast as the government notes |
are taken in they are put out again,
and should any combipetion OF CIR
cumstances occur that would have |
the effect Of depreciating the cur
rency below the gold standard the
government would be pOwerlessSsto
prevent the catastrophe. But there
is still more convincing proof of the
utter fssity of the Republican
claims. For if they brought about
the prosperity we are now enjoying
1t follows logically that the hard |
times resulting from the panic OF
1873 were alec the work of Repub-
iican rule. The assertion that con-
sresslonsl Legislation has affected
the industrial condition OF the coun-
try in the one instace must hold
good 10 the other. In is a sword
that cuts both ways. In point oil
fact, however, the ryeyiysl Of nation
al prosperity did not commence un-
til the Democratic party obtained
majority in Congress, and there
cannot be any doubt that the econ
omy enforced by the Democratic
House of Representatives contribu-
ted largely to the speedy restora-
ton of that popular confidence
which, with abundant crops, has
effected a wonderful change in the
condition OF our people. -Ez,

SOMETHING ABOUT BEES.

The Egyptians exhibit great skill in
their manner Of cultivating bees. As the
flowers and harvests are much earlier in
Upper Egypt than in Lower, the inhabi
tants profit by the circumstances in regard
to their bees. They collect the hives of
different villages on huge barges, and
every proprietor attaches peculiar mark
to his hives. When the boat is loaded.
the conductors descend the river slowly.
stopping at all places where they can find
pasturage for the bees. After having thus
spent three months on the Nile the hives
are returned to the proprietors, and, after
deducting small sum due to the boat
man for having transported his hives from
one end OF the river to the other, he finds
himself suddenly enriched with a quantity
Of honey and wax. which is Immediately
sent to market. This species Of industry
procures for the Egyptian an abundance
Of production of the bee, which they ex-
port in considerable quantities to foreign
lands. In the counties of Yorkshire and
Lancashire. England, where the moors
are covered with species of heather
called cling" and which blossoms in An
gust, covering these barren heaths with
beauty scarcely equalcd in any other corIn-
try, distant bee-keepers load their hives
into wagons, and. having previously en-
gagged quarters farm them with the farm
ers who dwell on the confines of the moor.
The hives are then conveyed to these
ranges, where they remain a IN. nth or six
weeks. Comparatively empty hives when
carried away are brought back full of hon
ey, and many weak hives are thus ena-
bled TO winter over without loss, while |
the best ones have large quantities of hon
eY and wax removed from them, the pro- |
duct OF about two months in the year. |
The hum ofthe busy bees and the blooming |
of ling enliven scene which, during the
other ten months of the year appears but !
"A dreary waste at the best, or a pasture |
for the black faced breed of sheep. or 4
breeding place for grouse, hares and fox
es, and "A hunting ground for EngIand's
aristocracy. OF late years many of these
moors have been incosed. the lands have
been cultivated. and they are now produc-
ing an abundance of potatoes, oats. bar
ley and grass.
