THE helplessness Of man in great ex.
tremity, and reliance upon God as q
Supreme and ali-powerful being, capa-
BILE of accomplishing what we acknowl-
edg ourselves unable to do, and whose
infinite compassion is nerved by human
entreaty, was never more generally be-
leived and confessed than it has been
during the agony of our Presidents i'll
ness. This proud Nation has humbled
herself and confessed His name as she
has never done in the eventful years Of
her history. And if the worst should
happen, as it seems likely to do; and
after all our hopes all our prayers, our
martyr should be crowned for sn un-
timely grave, we should forever after be
more devout people. fearing God, deal
ing justly, loving mercy and walking
humbly before Him, and in all our ways
acknowledging Him, sowing in tears we
should then reap in joy.

THE Leader Of q recent date published
slengthy interview with Mr.. Frank Baird,
of Canton, President of the Board of
Managers of the Christian Temperance
Union of the United States, and for three
years President of the Ohio State Union.
Mr.. Baird, in this interview, clearly
demonstrates what has long been recog-
nized as fact by careful and impartial
thinkers upon the subject, that prohibi-
Jon has never been attained by independ-
ent political action, and never can be;
but, on the other hand, that the cause of
temperance is made to suffer whenever
it is made the basis of an independent
political organization. Mr.. Baird thinks
that the result of the action at Loveland
will be to cripple the cause of temper
ance, and bring strife and dissension inte
the church. He truthfully says that the
Prohibitionists cannot hope to carry the
State, and the only thing they can expect
to accomplish is to defest the Republican
party, a majority Of whose representa-
tives have favored temperance legislation
and reforms all along, and throw the
State into the hands of the Democratic
party, which has always been on the side
Of free rum, and whose members in the
Legislature, almost without exception,
have opposed every temperance measure
submitted to them. Mr.. Baird thinks the
claim of the Prohibitionists that they
will poll thirty to forty thousand votes
in Ohio this fall an idle boast, and says
that candid temperance men, who will
review the situation as it really is, are
not to be deceived into a course that can
work nothing but injury to the cause
which they have at heart. These state
ments, coming as they do from one of
the most earnest and devoted workers in
the temperance cause in Ohio, are bound
to have their weight with thinking men.

From reports received at the Secretary
of States office the highest yield to the
acre of wheat raised in 1880 was attained
by Cuyshoga County, twenty-one bushels,
Medina averaged nineteen bushels, and
Lorain fifteen. Sandusky County came
up to eighteen bushels, ard Huron only
ten. Gallia County, the lowest yield was
but five bushels, and evidently that is not

The Fifteenth Epistle of Timothy.

And the foolish said unto the wise.
Give US of your oil: But the wise ans
wered, not so; 60 We rather to them that
sell and buy for yourselves.
The parable of the ten virgins illus
trates one trait of mankind to which we
wish to call your attention. One half
of the wedding guests referred to were
rcalled foolish because they depended
upon a gift enterprise as a source of
revenue with which to procure oil to
replenish their lamps. The law of COM
pensation says, Give an equivalent for
that thou buyest. The law of ayarice
cries, Give give without compensation
and out of this depraved quality of mind
has grown more pure cussedness than
from the perversion of any other quality
of mind. Adam and Eve sought know
ledge by contraband dicker with the
Devil, hoping to gain knowledge with
out application to study, and since then
their progeny have inherited a morbid
desireito shirk responsibility and reap
results. This has left the Devil large
field Of operation. Knowing, as he must
from his early acquaintance with the
progenitors of the human race, that
their wonderful powers of gullibility
have been transmitted 70 their lineal de-
scendants, he has ever been a successful
operator in wild speculating schemes,
such as bank stock gambling and a
whole line Of bumbugs, ever changing
and adjusting his movements to the
wants and silly apprehensions of each
succeeding age. To the religious fanatic
he invites rigid line of prosecutions.
The enduring and patient, he smites
with boils, as in the case of Job; to the
successful hnmbug he advises a profuse
line of advertising, as in the case of
Barnum. To the unscrupulous dealer,
he suggests system of gifts, certain
number Of purchases entities the pur-
chaser to gift of q glass dish, or a gold
piece-no matter what, only so that the
silly ones are made to believe that they
are to get something for nothing, and
that the dealer Is so desirous of getting
rid of his stock that he can afford to sell
at very low margin of profits, and.
then make magnificent presents. This
kind of ofhumbuggery pervades all the line
of business until, like barnacles upon
the ship, it hinders, embarasses, and
almost blocks honest, legitimate business.
AS well might the farmer say give us
the market price for our beeves, wool,
pork and cheese, or the laborers say
give us usual laborer's price and we
will give back part in presents, as for
the dealer to say, If you will buy my
goods or groceries L will give back
part in presents. Go We rather to them
that sell, and buy for yourselves what
you need, and pay a just, equitable price
for it.
