For the Central Presbyterian.
True Religion.

Religion, true religion, is.not gloomy
thing, Notwithstanding it is usually held
to be so by the world, and by worldly
professors
During one of those great religious
awakenings, which occurred in England
early in the 18th century, Lady Margaret
Hastings, one Of the sisters of the Earl of
Huntington, embraced the truth as it is
in Jesus. With her Christianity was no
longer mere profession, or the mere adj
hesion to a creed, but it was new birth
into the spiritual family, with the ICON
sclous heirship to heavenly inheritance. -
With this new life in her soul, Lady
Margaret visited the house of the Earl
and during this visit, in a conversation
with Lady Huntington on the great sub
ject which then engaged the attention of
the Countess herself, she declared: ",Snce
/ hare k71o1On and believed IN the Lord
Jesus Christ for saJUotion, I haze been as
Happy as an angel" Soon after this con-
versation Lady Huntington, much trou-
bled with spiritual conflicts, became sick.
and appeared to be Fastening to the grave.
For some time she lay on her bed, suf-
fering, not only from bodily disease, but
disturbed by malady Of the soul, which
the tender ministration of friends and the
skill of her physicians could not reach.
Then it was that the words of Lady Mar
garet came to her laden with wonderful
meaning. ~, too, will wholly cast my
self on Jesus Christ for life and salvation, "
was her last refuge, and from her bed she
lifted up her heart to God for pardon and
mercy through the blood Of his Son. I'm
mediately the scales fell from her eyes.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1880-12-22

This saved state is entered when the sim
ner comes to true sense of his sin" IN
trying TO Saue himself, and then comes to
an apprehension of the mercy of God in
Christ" 1t is there that he "doth, with
grief and hatred of his sin, turn from it
unto God, with full purpose of, and en-
deavor after new obedience" Certainly
every sinner moved by genuine repent
ance will be saved, for such repentance
belongs to .saving faith. But it is also
true that IF he does not accept Christ, all
repentance will not save him. To tell
him this, is one part of the means of grace
which will save his soul. And herein is
the sum and substance of Just as am.
The logic of practical life, facts, is some
times stronger than the logic of theory.
And it may be, now and then, needful to
seem to curve strait line" of theology
In order to save soul. H. II. H.

The Basis of Christianity
Changeless.

Essential Christianity can know no other
than incidental changes nor can its his
torlcal basis admit of any important
notifications. Chalmers did not err in
the fundamental importance which he
attached to the historical ASSUMPTIONS of
the system. Any important and clearly
proved invalidity of historical Christi
anlty must invalidate the whole specific
character of Christianity. Leigh Hunt
once suggested to Shelley, in an Italian
Cathedral, that feasible system of faith
might be constructed of the ethics and
simplest forms of Christianity, while its
dogmas and the preternatural in its his
tory could be rejected The sceptic poet
shook his head and denied it. He saw
at once that such a system could not he
authoritative; that it would be but q
return to natural religion-making phil
osophic theists of the learned and Virtual
heather of the masses They are but
shallow-headed thinkers who reiectino
the positive authority of dogmatio and
historical Christianity, talk Of new devel-
opments of the system-tr anscendental
distractions of its old positive ideas, and
such a generalization, or rather ethereal
lsation OF Its Old practical injunctions as
must render them ideal sentiments rather
than plain, actual duties.
Let this be set down then as fully
granted. Mans original uprightness his
fall, his redemption by the Divine M edi-
ator, his personal, moral renovation
through that redemption, and his amena-
blllty to the future judgment, with its
rewards and punishments-this is sum-
manly the divine truth the Christian
philosophy which can admit no essential
change.-Dr. Il. Stevens.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1880-12-22

Joy and peace filled her bosom, and with
living faith she exclaimed, "My Lord
and my God !" On her recovery she sent
for the Wesleys, John and Charles to
come and visit her. They came, and
found in her an ardent friend, and most
valuable coadjutor in their great work
To Charles Wesley she wrote, "What
blessed effects does the love of God pro.
duce In the hearts of those who abide in
Him. Ho,o SOLID IS the peace and hov
dame theJoy that springs from an assu,,
dnce that zoe are united to the Saviour 5u
a ltvang faith; blessed be his name"
The experience of these pious and dis
tinguished women, is the experience of
all true believers; though to the luke
warm and halfhearted professor, religion
is indeed irksome, and the service of God
burden.
Where are the Lady Huutingtons' and
the Lady Margaret Hastings Of the pre-
sent day? Cannot the women of rank
and wealth, as well as the humble, in our
churches, emulate the example of those
noble Christian women, and fine true low
and peace in the service. of God, and in
the duties of our holy religion? They
cannot find it in the vanities and sinful
pleasures of the world. Many have tried
it, and are trying it, and the result has
been disappointment and bitterness of
soul.

as may be engaged in for their spiritual
benefit by our missionaries. The opposi-
ton at Volos has evidently turned out
for :" the furtherance of the gospel; -
there Michaelides, our ordained minister,
occupies the pulpit of the church referred
to above, having stated services three
times every week, without opposition.
The relief of Mr.. Kalopothakes surely
presents case which commends itself to
the sympathy of every true lover of the
great cause of Foreign Missions. We
should not allow him to be perplexed and
burdened by an unexpected debt, in view
of his ill-health, and his invaluable SER
vices as missionary.
Any contributions sent to Rev. Samuel
K: Houston, D. D., Pickaway Plains,
West Virginia, would at once be receipt
ed; and forwarded by him to Mr. Samp-
son, Treasurer of the Mission at Athens,
for the Volos debt.

DEMOCRATIC CALUMNY.

The vileness of the vituperation which
Democrats have poured forth upon the
head of General Garfield has never been
exceeded in any campaign. 1t is a fortu
nate fact that political vituperation can
not injure worthy man. 1t is always
impotent, except to blacken the names
of those who give it birth. This is a
country of free speech, and every mans
words are weighed in the balance by an
intelligent and honest people. He who
wantonly assails character lowers him
self in public estimation, and he who is
disingenuous enough to advocate princi-
pies in which he has no faith, works no
lasting injury to truth, but robs himself
of the confidence and respect which hon
est men receive. Political mud-throw-
ing is to be regretted, not so much for
any injury it can do the victims of as
sault, but as an indication Of the exist
ence of base element in society. The
filth which oozes from the lips of SLAM
derers is the discharge from the sores of
society. Fortunately, there is health
enough in society to finally expel dis
ease from its system, but the recovery
will be slow and the signs of disease will
long be visible. There is no external
force to prevent a man from becoming
a mud-thrower. but he who stoops to
spreading calumny should do SO with
the knowledge that, in Presidential cam
paigns at least, originators of lies are
they who suffer most from them in the
estimation of the people.

DEMOCRATIC TACTICS.

Nearly two months ago the Democrats
had abandoned the field of decent dis
cssion and concentrated their energies on
4 mud campaign against General Garfield
Finally, after some weeks of this sort of
self-degradation, the Democratic party
concentrated its malignant energies on
most appropriate form of expression, and,
to use the fit language of Mr.. Becchcr,
get down on its belly and chaIked 329
on the cutters and sidewalks.' That
was the Democratic campaign-and the
whole of tin the concrete In that
form it was carried all over Ohio, and
more particularly all over the Western
Reserve" and. still more especially, all
over Gen. Gartield's old Congressional
district
The magnificent gain of 1000 addi-
tional Republican majority. over the i'm
mense Republican majority in that dis
trict for the all-popular Foster, was the
indignant reply of the men who have
known Gen. Garfield longest and best 20

gutter. The country heard it, and real
lied how absurd it is, at this late day, to
attempt to make sensible men believe
that General Garficld-after living Sin

publication of forged letters or by the
stupid attempt of such a doubtful polti-
clan as VIM. II. Barnum to implicate

Committee in charge of sending re-
peaters to Florida, by the publication

VOTE FOR WEBSTER AND CON-
DENIM THE RING METHODS.

Next to the election Of Garfield and
Arthur the restoration of the control OF
Congress to loyal men is of the most vital
Importance. We are glad to know that
this is recognized by the Republicans of
this State, and that they are making the
most strenuous excrtions to carry Con-
gressional districts now misrepresented
by Democrats. Is there, for instance,
man in Cecil county, outside of the po-
Iitical cabal who have forced his re-nomi-
nation upon the Democratic party, reck-
less enough to say that there is any doubt
about the relative merits of the two men
presented for their sutfrages for seats i'll
Congress-Col. Edwin ii. Webster and
j. Fred Talbot? Considered individually
morally, mentally, or in any other re-
spect in which the relative or compare
tive qualification of two candidates can
be considered, will any candid man deny
the inferiority of the latter? Even were
he possessed of the highest personal quail
tications for so responsible il position, the
means reSorted to secure his re-nomlna-
ton should disgust decent Democrats
and lose him the support of the intelli-
gent element of his party. But Talbott's
character as an INSCRIPTIONS politician
of the most ordinary type, is perfectly IN
keeping with the character of the meth
dds employed to secure his re-nomina-
ton by the dominant faction of his par
ty. We need not rehearse those meth
DDS. Suffice it to say that the will of the
party expected to elect him was in no
wise consulted. He is the personal rep
resentative of the bosses, stamped and
sealed with Germans own private mark,
and intended for Germans own uses.
That Talbot is a useful tool of German $,
we do not doubt. But his qualification
as henchmen of the Ring is, in our
Judgment, disqualification as an eff
cient representative of the people. They
should be Talbett's boss, not German.
They, the people, don't want any man
as their representative i'll Congress who
owes superior allegiance to any clique or
cabal of self-serving politicians. In this
respect Col. Webster presents tiatter-
ing contrast to his Democratic cempeti-
tor. In Col. Webster the people of the
district will have a fitting representa-
tive Nominated by those who repudi-
ate the "boss" system in politics, his
election will be well-merited rebuke of
the infamous bargains by which Mr.. Cor
man and his clique have outraged the
voters of the Second Congressional dis
trict by forcing his tool upon them as
candidate. We do not believe that the
intelligent voters of Cecil county will
turn down Col. Webster for a man like
Talbot. The loyal voters of Cecil coun-
ty will, in our opinion, prefer the Union
to the rebel soldier rs 4 representative of
their interests in Congress.

HON 7. FRED c. TALBOT.

The following article, which we clip
from the editorial columns of the Will
mington (Del.) Ecery Erening. strong
Democratic journal, surely cannot be
ascribed to partisan motives. AS the
representative of this district in Con-
gress, it is duty Mr.. Talbot owes his
constituents, if not his own manhood,
that he should sustain the honor of the
position at home as we'll as abroad, to
which he has been elevated through the
suffrages of his fellow citizens, With such
dignity and demeanor as becomes the
high office he holds, and not cast dis
credit upon himself and his district be-
fore the eyes of the nation:
"There is contest in the Second Mary
land district between Mr.. Talbot, the
present member of Congress, and Mr..
Constable, who aspires to succeed him.
Those who heard Mr.. Talbott's drunken
and treacherous Tilden speech from the
balcony of the Grand Hotel at Cincin-
natl during the recent convention, will
be apt to think that if the Second dis
trict does give him another term, it had
better elect a constable also to take care
of the young man when he goes from
home. He was forced to abandon his
attempt to go as delegate to Cincinnati
and then went out there to treacher-
ously oppose and thwart the wishes Of
his people. "-Harrs Republican.

EXAMINE YOUR TICKETS.

1t is not enough that the vote against
license shall be bare majority of the
qualified voters Of the county. 1t should
be emphatic enough to secure the certain
nary vote, taken last Fall the majority
was , 1873 in favor of law submitting
the question of license or no license to
the people of the county. Because we
believe large majority of the people Of
the county is opposed to Il continuance
of the license system, we claim that the
majority this Fall should be equally
large. upon the question, to be submitted
on Tuesday next on its merits. To Sc
cure this desirable result, in which is in
volvcd the success Of prohibition, its
friends should relax no effort to secure
every possible vote in the county We
impress upon them, too, the necessity of
tickets. 1t is absolutely necessary that
the ballot shall have printed or written
upon it the exact language of the law
the vote, viz: 50 Against the
sale of spirituous or fermented liquors or
alcoholic bitters," or, For the sale of
spirituous or fermented liquors or alec
holic bitters'' One Or the other express
sion of opinion only must be on the ticket
as cast. Should both expressions, through
or from inability to read
ticket, be on it when voted. the ballot
would not be counted. Doubtless there
will be tickets with both "Fol " and
9 Against = printed on them. 1t is
against the inadvertent use of such
tickets we are now cautioning voters.
We understand, also, that tickets will
be in circulation with the words g For
Local Option and 8 Against Local OPP
ton printed on them. These ballots
also will not be counted if cast, for the
reason stated before, that the exact lam
guage of the law must be on the ballot.
We want to see a fair expression of the
sentiment of the voters of the county on
this important question, and should be
sorry that one voter should be tricked
out Of an honest expression of his opin-
