Training Christians.

The secret Of success in the training
Of Young people to an efficient Christian
life, is in giving them something to do,
and keeping their minds and hands busy
in doing it. 1t is too often the case
that when a child has united with the
church. this is considered the end
sought, rather than means TO the end
which ought always to be kept in mind.
1t Is of little use for person to enter
gymnasium and stand or sit as spec
tator to witness the efforts of others.
This will neither strengthen the muscles
nor quicken the blood. To insure
yigor, health and growth, he must use
diligently the various appliances for
giving play to the muscles. So with
the soul. What the gymnasium is for
the body, the church of Christ is for the
soul. Ii is a diyinely appointed train
Ing school for the higher nature, and all
who enter it should keep themselves,o or
be kept, busy in the use ofthose means
of grace which are specially appointed
for its development. The young people
in our churches would be less likely 10
be carried away with zeal for sense
less or vicious amusemcnts, il they
were kept busy about something better.
1t Is a mistake IN mature and establish
ed Christians, to discourage or oppose
efforts TO call into active exercise the
gifts of The young in pleasant and in'
structive entertainments, because they
seem to be childish. Even Paul, when
he was a child spake as child, UNDER
stood as a child, and thought as child
Let tho youths mission circles and
other groups for social Christian activity
be encouraged as means of grace.

Forks, October Sth. 1880.

ED. REPUBLICAN 81 write to
give you Il brief account of our mass
meeting here last night knowing that
the good news from here will be
gratifying to you, and encouraging
to Republican voters throughout the
county.
In accordance with the call of our
Central Committee, the school house
was crowded at 1906 p. NJ, with
earnest Republicans, there being
among them some few Democrats.
ii. Wheeler Combs, Esq, of your
town, was introduced by 4he Chair
man, Thos. ii. Biddinger, Esq. Mr..
Combs stated in opening that Hon.
Milton G.. Urner was coming from
Grantsville to address them, and he
would occupy the time until he ar.
rived. AS the other speakers were
delayed on the road, Mr.. 6. spoke
over two hours a! instead OF the au.
dience being tired and impatient
when the other speakers arrived, all
were in a good humor and would
haye listened for several hours longer.
Combs is a. wheel horse and a great
favorlte with the people of the Forks.
Major TOrbert arrived sometime be-
fore Mr.. Urner, and occupied the
time in a very excellent speech.
speaking not as long as we would have
wished but with telling effect, and all
will be glad to greet the Major
should he ever favor us again. Mr..
Urner's ARRIVAL Was greeted with APP
plause and enthusiasm. and hiespeech
was attentiyely listened to and great
ly applauded. His candor and hon
esty greatly impressed his hearers,
and his strong arguments were con-
vincing and telling. Mr.. Urner is
very popular here, and every rSepub-
lican is going to give an earnest of his
professions by his vote on election
day. The people feel that in voting
for Mr.. Urner they are voting for a
man whom they can always ap
proach, who will give every attention
to their wishes and interests, who
having been farm boy and far
mer's son can appreciate the needs of
the people. Mr.. Urner makes no
professions of being "the poor mans
friend" but his honest face and free
manners are sufficient guarantee
without any professions.
Messrs Urner, Torbert and Combs
were entertained by our esteemed
citizen, Adm Harmon, leaving
early this A. NJ, Messrs Urner and
Combs for Accident, where they
speak at p. NJ, and Major Torbert

An Indignant Greenbacker on Demo-
cratic Cheek.

The eagerness Of the Democrats to
appropriate the fruit Of the Green
hackers victories, and their undis-
guised attempt to buy out what they
cannot bully, has aroused the indig-
nation of the party, and its organs
are prodding the Borubons unmerci-
fully. The Indianapolis San, the
organ of the Indiana Greenbackers,
gives some home thrust which will
make even the hide bound Democrats
CULVER with pain. 1t pertimently
asks: "What is the meaning of the
desperate scheming the Democratic
leaders ? They have been out of pow
er for the last twenty years, and they
are as fully determined to regain con-
troll of the Government in 1880 as
they were to overthrow it in 1860.
General Hancock was not nominated
because they admired his general
ship, but because they believed they
could use him as a blind to march
into Washington in his rear, since
they had failed to march into the
Capitol in his front in 1863" The
Democratic desire to fuse it treats IN
this scOrntul way: "When heaven
and hell form copartnership, then
may we consider the Democratic
proposition to fuse. Please tell us'
what good law the Democratic party
has passed? Did they free the four
millions of slaves? Did they respect
and obey the laws they had enacted?
Have they at any period of their his.
tory given us sound currency and
homes on the public land? They
never passed law when in DOW err in
favor of the poor, but passed many
laws to aid them in robbing every
black man, women and child in the
land. When did they befriend
labor 90

a number gathered about the Office.
Prominent among them was Senator
john s. Combs, who, mounting the
Office steps. began making speech.
The eolorsd men gathered around
him instantly and listened very at
tentively. Mr.. Combs told them that
no matter who had them registered.
they should come forward to the polls
on election day and vote their seuti-
,menls like men, and those sentiments
would be Tor Garfield, Arthur and
Urner. Theirs was some question as
to ths illegally of registering them.
and the Senator told them he would
be panied to see any of them cast an
illegal vote on election day. This
little speech opened The eyes of the
colored men, and it is thought will
be productive of much good for the
Republicans. Between forty and
fifty names were registered. -LonG-

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-The Mass
Meeting here yesterday was grand
success. So many being present that
it was found necessary to bring in
extra seats to accommodate the au.
dience. A number of ladies graced
the meeting with their presence.

electing our venerable townsman,
Esquire Patterson, Chairman, C. j.
Otto, Esq, Secretary.
The chairman, in few compli-
mentary remarks introduced as the
fl rst speaker III. Wheeler Combs,
Esq, candidate for EIector on the
Republican ticket, who spoke on the
issues of the day III his usual forci-
BILE and pleasing manner. eliciting
applause and laughter. Mr.. Combs
throws hot shot in the Democratic
camp, and will always get good
audience in GrantsyiIle. Mr.. Combs
spoke about three quarters of an
hour, and then left for the Forks to
open the meeting there, leaving
MesSrs. Urner and Torbert to follow
him after closing at this place
The chairman then introduced
Hon. Milton G. Urner, our present
able representative IN Congress, and
our Cery popular candidate for re.
election. Mr.. Urner spoke for
little over an hour. demonstrating in
clear aid logical argumett that our
country does not need change. Mr..
Urner engaged the attention of his
audience from the beginning and
holds it to the enns and there is no
dout but that he will lead Col.
Schley by very handsome major
ity at the coming election. He i'm.
presses the people with his candor
and honesty, and makes them all
feel that he is one of thpni. His
frank and cordial manner is in Strik.
ing contrast with The naughty style
and bearing Of Col, Schley. Urner
is great favorite with us, and will
receive a hearty endorsement at the
polls.
Major II. r. Torbert was then in.
troduced, and in his hpppy md in
lmitable style entertained Us for an
hour. His speech was reasoning,
dispaseionate, logical, sparkling at
times with brilliant wit, and cons
vulsing his audience at times with
laughter with well told humorous

and may it be our good fortune to
hear him again. A heaaty welcome
always awaits him at GAINESVILLE.
The day WAS a telling one for Gar

Speaking of the Rebel Claims that
General Hancock proposes to veto,
the Philadelphia Press says;
"The claims, so far as they have
been actually presented and appear
in records Of Congress, amount to
1881 ,3l2, 1877. This is exclusive of
the claims filed in the Courts or De-
partments or the claims for rebel
pensions and of the whole class of
claims covered by the prohibition of
the Fourteenth Amendment. They
have been carefully made out and
preserved these many years. they
are supported by affidayits, and lack
nothing but a few lines of legislation
to give them a present cash value"
