A Visit to the Eureka Soap works.

A Herald reporter CHANGED in at the Eureka
soap works, which are situated at the foot of
south Austin street, yesterday, and was sur
prsed to find such a complete and extensive
mandatory for this article. A walk through
the establishment shows that this is one Of
our home institutions that is in prosperous
condition. Large cakes of soap we're visible
on every hand ready TO be cut into smaller
cakes The soap manufactured is pure and
is entirely free from adulteraton of any kind,
and is especially adapted to hard water. The
capacity of the manu- factory is eleven hun
dred pounds week. The "Cy-
clone" brand, laundry soap,
is of such superior quality and SO finely per-
fumed that many use it as toilet soap. On
inquiry the reporter learned that this soap is
sold by the trade of this city, while The man
ufactory supplies the principle part of the
trace of north Texas. Steam power is used
and the works are on an extensive scale for a
city of the dimensions of Dallas. Such
home enterprises should be fostered and en-
couraged. Mr.. j. B. Hereford, the proprietor,
well merits the success he is meeting with.

The Retrenchment Reports.

Several days ago the United States mail put
into my hands a little pamphlet, which has been
sent to every minister and session of our South
ern Presbyterian Zion and no doubt, it has
been read by most of her ministers. 1t ought
to be read by every one of them, by every
ruling elder and deacon if not by every mem
Der of our Church. 1t ought to be faithfully
and candidly considered by every session and
every Presbytery. There are in it thirty pages
of reading matter and an untold number of
pages of thinking matter. So freighted is it,
that the office-bearers of.our Churchill seems
to one at least of them-would be derelict in
their duty as such, did they not give it the
attention which its importance demands As to
the practical bearings, nothing has been brought
before us since our organisation which SO mate
rally concerns us. But what is it? The title

In concluding this first say on the subject
urge every minister, ruling elder and deacon to
get the pamphlet and give it thoughtful end
candid reading.
The report was made at the last meeting of
the Assembly; the consideration of the whole
subject was referred to the next Assembly and
it was directed that abstracts OF the majority

to explode the erroneous theories. And
In truth some of these theories may in
their very nature be incapable Of either
proof or disproof, because its evidences
lie In field not accessible to us. We
regard the evolution theory as belonging
In part to this class. Others which may
ultimately be solved must long hang in
doubt, because of the slow and uncertain
accumulation of facts in respect to them,
as for example the relative priority and
nature of the earliest plants and ami

dozens of theories promulgated in respect
to such subjects which may have vitality

and yet their advocates push them in de-
fance of their relations to Biblical his
tory, as if they were as well established
as the credibility of the Bible. This is
neither philosophical nor decent, and it
is high time society should assert its own

The Christian Advocate of this city
gives the following description of the
powers of a Methodist bishop:
A Methodist bishop in an annual conference
is host within himself He sits like vice
President of the United States in the Senate. He
is also like the Chief Justice in the chair of the
Senate In case of impeachment of President or
an electoral commission. He presides and ex-
pounds the law. The bishop goes beyond a
speaker, for he is not member of the body, yet
he speaks his mind moi from a place on the floor
but from the chair. He combines, in addition
the qualities of the patriarch and the pedagogue
He 49, as it were, the head of family, and ex-
poets submission to his fatherly wishes. Hee x-
horts and rebukes, but not always with all long
suffering and patience. There has never been a
man In the State or national Senate bold to TURF
the brakes on debate like general superinten
dent IN conference He exercises more the ON
impotence of a " train dispatcher" now stopping
one, now starting another with word, than
the sweet courtesy that takes 1.-THE pleasure of
the Senate" as guide. And it may happen
that:
The boding tremblers learn to trace
The days disaster in his morning face"
a Methodist bishop in the chair is nearer kin
to general conducting a council of war 1t is
without rules of order, and the talk amounts to
nothing or much, as the chief pleases.

1t is, as we said at the outset, because
persons have an inadequate conception of
what is demanded of them, or under
standing it, squirm and twist, and try to
compromise, that they find no peace and
comfort in their religious efforts.
And thus all this talk about the thea
tire; it is not, that there is any harm in
the mere act of going to see play; it is
that, as a matter of fact, this breathing
of the atmosphere of the world quenches
the Christian Gfe-causes the tender
plant of regeneration to sicken and Ian
guish-this is the reason why the sense
of the Church perceives that these world

are thousands that are making great
fuss about giving up the theatre: Sup

you are making such fight over it,

The following from Methodist paper
does honor to the broad charity and lib
eral Christian sentiment which prompted
it. Would that such spirit prevailed
universally among all evangelical Chris
tians, who often fail to realise the essen
tial unity which binds all of them to-
gether.
If we may venture to characterize the Pres
byterians as a body, it will be by attributing to
them a very high regard for learning an I'M
compromising adherence to the standards, with
corresponding preponderance of doctrinal
teaching and profound regard for order in the
services of the house of God. . The type of
Christian character which they build up is
marked by reverence, fidelity in things great
and small, and strlctness of self examina-
ton: :. The Presbyterian denomination is
the bulwark of sound doctrine, mighty breast
work against the muddy waves OF infidelity.
There is no Church which does not derive great
strength from the influence Of Presbytsrianism "

Fresh green leaves for a newly made

Fresh green leaves Tor newly made
grave.
Your issue of December Sth, carried abroad the
news of the death of our brother, W. F. Cosner.
The notice made the usual appropriate mention
of the main features of his life, and of his zeal,
fidelity and efficiency in the ministry. I had
but a slight personal acquaintance with brother
Cosner until about six weeks before his death.
1t was made my pleasant duty by appointment
of Presbytery Ia profitable soourn indeed to
me), TO be associated with him in series of SER
vices of eight days, at one of his preaching places
Then we were brought into familiar and daily
contact, in and out of the sanctuary, and so the
conditions were favorable to learn something of
him. From our walks and talks 1 gathered
the leaves which now, out of sad occasion,

Of deserving the exalted praise bestowed by our
Saviour on Nathaniel. Withal he had warm,
deep, unwavering conviction Of the truth Of the
doctrines of the Bible-a conviction wrought by
the power of their experience and 80 he had
strong and fearless faith His great delight was in
the meditation Of the Scripture. His mind was
richly stored with the Bible history and expert
ence. His almost daily habit was to commit
some fresh portion of the word.
AS a preacher he was much according to the
pattern Of the delineation by the poet Of the
preacher whom he describes as
" A messenger Of grace to guilty man
Simple grave, sincere;
In doctrine uncorrupt; in language plain;
And plain in manner, decent solemn, chaste.
And natural in GESTURE much impressed
Himself as conscious Of his awful charge,
And anxious mainly that the flock he feeds

SCIENTIFIC MISCHIEF

Scientists and would-be scientists are
largely responsible for the moral un-
hingement last week spoken of. We love
Science and believe in it, and we admire
the truly scientific spirit; and we do not
object to theories which go ahead of as
certained facts so long as they treat with
proper respect the cherished opinions of
mankind in regard to subjects which lie
outside of the field in which the fancy of
the theorist is expatiating Now just
here has been the error of too many of
the scientific men. They coolly and even
recklessly promulgate theories which at
tack the fundamental articles of our re-
ligious belief, and if they be men of au-
thority, the whole skirmish line of re-
peaters goes to popping away at the Bible,
as if they really had solid shot in their
guns. Thus many are frightened, and
the Devil carries the news through the
country that the scientific men have up
set the Bible, and then whispers in their
ears, that since Jesus Christ was only
common man, and God and hell have
been abolished by Tyndall and Huxley,
people may live as they please, and fall
into sweet oblivion at last The dire re-
suits are seen all over the earth this very
day and half dozen scientific men
might be named as the prime movers of
all this wickedness.
Whilst we readily admit that any fact
really proved ought to be accepted and
promulgated, we deny that any man
under color of Science has right to pro-
mitigate anti-Biblical theories before they
become ascertained and settled verities.
To do so is in bad taste and worse morals.
And whatever be the scientific abilities
of the offender he should be visited with
the frown of society whenever he comes
before the public in any capacity what
ever. 1t is regarded all over the world
as bad manners to treat lightly the re-
lgious convictions of people. We may
strive in love to give them better faith,
but we may not needlessly attack the
doctrines they hold dear, even by indi-
rection. And in the case Of Christianity
"a religion so pure and elevating, so
ancient, and so precious to the best and
most enlightened people of the earth
the man who lightly promulgates theories
adverse to the credibility of this faith,
should justly expect the displeasure Of
those whose most vital interests he has
failed to respect.
Such remarks in our opinion justly APP
ply to all, whether protesting to be Chris
tians or not, who publicly teach improved
scientific doctrines which tend to unsettle
the peoples faith in their religion. After
many years Of study, we do not believe
that there has been any real scientific
discovery which need disturb anybody

reader Of the sceptical literature cannot
know how this is, and mischief is wide.

THE REV KENNEDY ANET writes to
the N. Y. Observer from Belgium very
encouragingly of the work of the Evan
gelical Society, or Belgium Missionary
church, for the past year Mr.. Anet
says:
We are permitted to hope that with the bles-
sing of God we shall reap yet more abundantly
during the year lSSO-lS81 Never for the past
40 years has our country been reader to receive
the preaching of the gospel. Not to speak of
the abundant seed hitherto sown, which, in ac
cordance with the promises of God, must Weld
US rich harvests, we are struck by the attention
which is excited at the present moment by re
ligieus questions. The dismissal of the Papal
Nuncio; the exchange of views between our
Prime Minister and the Vatican the disclosures
made by M. Dumont, the Bishop of Journal,
who has recently been deposed by the Pope
and the Parliamentary inquiry referred to
above,-all these facts are making a great i'm
preston on the people. We would fain see the
country secured by strong bevy of colpor-
teurs, Scripture readers and evangelists, and
see meetings established in many places where
the Word of God has not yet been heard and
which appear prepared to receive it.
