have always held him in the highest
regard for his personal character and
mental power.
1t will thus be seen that the selec
tions have been made so as to fairly
meet the wishes of The church in
general. 1t was an almost universal
desire that some of the bishops
should be chosen from the pastorates
as well as from the editorial and ed
ucational departments of the church.
There have been some criticism in
times past of the leaning toward the
latter two departments, to the some
what unfair distinction against the
pastorate in selecting bishops-al
though these criticisms have been
kindly and never amounted to pro
test. By the new selections all this
is satisfactorily arranged as DIR. Foss,
though at present in the educational
department, is looked upon chiefly
as pastor, and he and DR.. Warren.
thus represent the pastorate, while
the other two represent the colleges.
Of course there is no division like
this really, but it is only in senti-
ment, as all the Bishops have the
same duties to perform, and no man,
no matter where he came from, would
be chosen who was not mentally and
morally fitted for place in the front
rank of leaders.
The board of Bishops, with a few
new ones added, is composed of thir.
teen members, as follows: Bishops
Levi Scott, Matthew Simpson, Thos.
Bowman. VIM. L. Harris. Randolph
S. Foster, 1. w. Wiley, Edward G.
Andrews, Stephen M. Merrill, Jesse

WHAT HIGH PRICES IN PAPER
MAY LEAD To.-If printing paper
continues to advance, newspapers
will be forced to use common white
satin with plain gilt border instead.
They will much dislike to resort to
so cheap substitute, but when rag
print puts on pair of telegraph
climbers and the paDer men plunge
their thumbs into the arm-h holes of
their vests and ask you what you are
going to do about it, something must
be done, and it is to be hoped that the
reading public will gracefully SUBJ
NIT to having their newspapers prin-
ted on inexpensive material until
these bloated straw-stack and rag bag
holders can be driven to the wall,
and publishers can afford to return to
the use Of paper. We're in for break
ing down the giant monopoly, and if
it becomes necessary to print the
paper on a bleached rubber blanket
and have men go around and hold it
while people read it, we shall not
shrink from our duty when volun-
teers are called Bristol, Pa,

Ex-Governor Curtin, of Pennsy1.
vania, has fallen upon hard luck in
these latter days. Once one of the
most distin guished men in the Re-
publican party, famous "war gov
ernor," minister to Russia and a pos
sible United States senator, it has
happened to him to have Democrats
aid in rejecting his claim to Green
hackers seat in the House of Repre-
sentatives. Yet there are few men
who suffered more for leaving one
party and going over to the opposi-
tion; for as a Republican, Curtin was
a tower OF strength in Pennsylvania,
while the most he has received from
the Democrats is a nomination in
congressional district where he was
beaten. He contested the election Of
Yocum, and now the House has vio-
lently sat down upon him. His lot
recently has been far from happy
one.

The grain crop of Maryland is re-
ported by the Department of Agri-
culture to be in excellent order,
although some of the farmers express
the fear that the wheat is "too rank
and forward" There is a possibility
That it may take too rapid growth
and that the sustenance needed to
develop the grain will be absorbed in
the stalk. On the whole, however,
Maryland farmers regard the pros
pect for a good crop as unusually
favorable. The outlook for remun~
erative preces is not encouraging In
England the season has been unusu-
ally kind for wheat, and the indica~
tions are that there will be reduced
demand for breadstuffs from that
country next fall. Our farmers, how
eyer. will have but little reason to
complain, as even with low prices
there will still be liberal return if
the present prospects for large yield
are realized.

What a Change I!

Is this the same Congress One
would hardly recognize it as the
skittish and high spirited body that
came prancing in little more than
year ago, paving the air and cham
ping the bit with impatience to be at
its high and holy mission of politi-
cal reform. A Democratic House in
the preceding Congress, restiye un-
der the limitations of Republican
Senate, and the restrictions of Re
publican Executive, had paved the
way for its early coming, and by
Withholding the supplies forced the
Executive to summon it in special
session nine months before its time.
1t was done deliberately, with pur.
pose preconceived and openly pro
claimed to demonstrate their own ca
pacity and show up the unfitness of
their opponents. Their impatisnce
could not bide the period of gesta-
ton. Nothing would do but they
must spring at once into being and
begin their work. Great things were
promised in the way of undOing the
mischief wrought by the opposition
in eighteen years of power, and of
setting on foo the beniticent reforms
which the people demanded and the
oppressed country waited and longed
for. Possession of one branch of
Congress had given them only par
tial power to carry out their plans.
All this they had used with the ut
most diligence to probe and lnves;i-
gate the record of their adversaries
IN the search for rascalities to be held
up for popular dennnciation, and
they had turned it to such poor ac-
count that the only damage done was
to themselves.
Now they were to have full swing;
to rip up everything unhindered |;
"wipe out the legislation of eight
cen years of Radical misrule !" make
laws such as suited them, haye free
course, run and be glorified. Every
body remembers with what a "H0op
la !'' they came bounding in; how
they cleared out the Senate of Re-
publican officials at the start, swung
their club oyer the head of the Pres
ident, and undertook not merely to
wipe out laws. but to annul the func-
! tions of the Executive. 1t was a
wild dance they undertook to lead
the country. The firm hand of Pres
ident Hayes and the interposition oi
the Executive veto, put upon them
gentle constitutional restraint, and
kept them from going to the mis-
cheivous lengths which they would
have reached otherwise and at the
END of few mOnths' exhibition oi
themselves they tapered off, still
threatening mischief in modified
forms, but with tucked tails and 9
general aspect of disappointment
To the Christening and subduing in
fluence of the veto upon their friski
ness were added little later the sug
gestive lessons of the Fall elections
and something more than hint o
popular disapprOval of the prank'
they had been playing. Let us dc

Although forest fires occur as regu-
larly as spring comes round, the series
of cOnflagrations which have been
raging in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey almost necessarily during the
past month have seldom, if ever,
been paralleled in the history of the
country. A despatch from Pike
county, Pa, states that five thousand
acres of woodland are in fiamess
while in the oil region eleven miles
of territory were burned over in
single day this week. Indeed, since
Sunday last 343 wells and 100000
barrels of petroleum have been des
troyed, while one entire town and
numerous settlements have been laid
in ashes. The LOSSES by forest fires in

THE JUDGMENT.
GENERAL STATEMENT.

For five DAYS Jesus has sat in the temple
calmly facing the wrath of priests and Phar-
isees, and expounding, for the last time, the
principles of his kingdom. On Wednesday,
two days before the feast OF the Passover he
delivers the burning message of rebuke con-
tanned in Matt. 23,and then leaves the temple
pausing on his way to mark an act OF true
generosity in the widows offering. duke Il.
LAD AS they pass out of the gate, the disci-
plies call his attention to the massive foun-
dations and lofty walls of the building He
tells them that these mighty stones shall ere
long be shaken and these tall towers shall
fall. They walk across the valley of Jehosa-.
phat, and up the terraced slopes of OIvet.
From its summit they behold the gided roof
of the holy house, and the dwellings Of the
city. There the Saviour sits down with his
disciples, and in response to their inquiries,
gives warming of the terrible destruction
awaiting the Jewish State. He repeats the
parallels f the Ten Virgins and the Talents,
and then, reaching with his prophetic vision
through the coming centuries OF the worlds
history, describes the scenes of the final
judgment. The throne of the king is up
raised surrounded by all the angelic host.
Upon it sits the Son, bearing even in his go-
ry the tokens of his incarnation. All the
multltudeS OF eaftnS history, gathered from
their graves on shore or under sea, are pres
ent to meet their destiny. The throng is cleft
asunder, the sainted souls on the right of
their King, the sinful on the le,t of their
Judge. Now the principle of judgment is
shown; love to Christ prompting deeds of
love to man, is the test by which every soul
is tried. The fate of every soul is settled, and
the redeemed are welcomed home to everlas
ting biessedness, while the unholy are cast
down to uIending woe.
