INCORPORATED 1880.
SUN MUTUAL AID SOCIETY

The Officers and References are gentlemen
of we'll known business and Pr OCCASIONAL
standing, and reputation.
THE OBJECT OF THE ASSOCIATION is
lst To secure to its members or their heirs
a sum OF Money at a time when 1t is
most needed
I'd. To insure such benefits at the lowest
cost.
RELIABILITY.
The Principles on which the Society Is
founded are as old MS history the funds are
held by the members themselves, until need
ed to pay dues and benefits.
MEMBERSHIP.
Any person Male or Female in good health,
between the ages of 20 and GU may become
members of the Association.
PRACTICAL WORKING.
The members agree to pay annual dues. Qor
current expenses and assessments, as rated,
until such assessments Shall exceed the
amount required to pay certificate in full;
when they will be assessed only such pro-
rate proportion may be necessary to make
up the sum needed TO pay a Certificate; all
the members Will be assessed rated in the
Tables, and cannot be assessed for more.
EXAMPLE.
Take our assessment on certificate ofSl250 !;
all who hold Certificates for that amount,
will be assessed as rated according to their
ages. AS for instance, persons IRON 30 to 40,
would be assessed one dollar. Certificates OF
s., 800 would be assessed to meet loss OF
&l.[sN
Gates for 5000. a their rated assessment.
Thus the plan is purely Mutual and strictly
Equitable.
PERNANEN DISABILITY.
In case o member should become perma-
nently disabled. JfTy per cent. of the value OF
their certificates will be paid to them then,
ahd fifty per cent more at Maturity OF years
or to their heirs at death. This Is manifestly
q most benevolent and desirable provision.
MATURITY OF YEARS.
Members who live to their years of Expect
ancy, will be paid. in their life time. the
amount of their certificate (old age in a ma
jority OF cases, is time Of most need.)
EXAMPLE.
Take person of 40 years of age. at the time
of Joining. Their expectation of life, as pei
person live to be 81 years of age, he or she
would then receive, in cash lin their lifetime.
the amount of their certificate.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
The permanent disability provision and the
payment to living members, of Matured Ger
tificates, render membership in this associa
ton more desirable than in Societies. that pay
benefits in case of death only.
WHO ARE SPECIALLY INTERESTED.
Every member has personal interest in
the growth and welfare of the society anC
should be acti We in inducing others to become
members, as the larger the membership, tho
the value of the certificates.

A Huge Concern.

The manufacturers of the Genuine
Singer Machine state these facts:
That they eraploy forty Thousand
persons and eighty thousand horses.
Have their own steamboat and loco
motive transporting machines and
material between New YORK and
their immense factory at Elizabeth,
Nj. The total estimate of offices
throughout the world is over four
thousand FIVE hundred. Their fac
tory covers an area of thirteen acres
of ground, and every square foot is
daily used, beside most of the shops
are three and fsur stories. The box
ing and Grating shop alone cut over
one hundred thousand feet of lumber
per day for boxing and Grating ma
chimes. To drive the machinery in
this enormous affair six stationary
engines are required, which have the
combined strength of one thousand
horse power. Four hundred men
are employed in the foundry, which
melts up sixty tons of iron every day
in the week. Just imagine a two
acre field filled every day with cast
ings for sewing machines. The ne.
cessity for this great factory is the
constant demand for the Genuine
Singer machine, as the following will
show: In the year 1878 three-quar-
tiers of all the machines sold through
out the world were Genuine Singers,
and the following year they increas-
ed their sales over one hundred and
thirty. eight thousand, and during
the year 1880 they sold over half a
million Genuine Singer Machines.
Still the demand is greater than the
supply, as subordinate offices often
have to wait for machines. To those
who contemplate buying we would
say: Be on the safe side and buy
the Genuine Singer, and don't be
humbugged with some new kind of
machine that has lately come out,
and has no reputation or merit what
ever. If you wish Genuine Singer
mo Bogus call on or address /. w.
Slonaker, Oakland, Md, who is agent
for this world renowned Sewing
Machine.
N. B. Singer agents will adjust
the Singer Machine wherever they
find it, free of charge, regardless of
| the time it has been in use.

For the Central Presbyterian.
Proposed Union of the Earnest
Worker" and "The Mis-
SiOnarvD

MeSsrs. E'ditorS,-As an Office bearer
In the Church, as well as one of the pub
fishers of the Earnest Worker, [ have
been much interested in the discussion
which relates to the proposed union of
that publication and the MiSsaonoru. I
had hoped that however desirable it is. to
supply the wants of the Church at the
very cheapest rates, that it would have
been seen that the differing objects of the
two periodicals is sufficient to make a
combination undesirable; and also, that
the enlarged bulk, and therefore the in
creased cost, of such united journal
would show it to be impracticable. 1
was not little astonished, therefore, to
read the opinion of the editors of the
Christian Observer, given with all the au-
thority OF professional knowledge, that
the two magazines could be united with
out increase of price to the subscribers.
Now do not wish to be understood as
taking issue with the Observer that this
could not be done if a sufficient circuza.
ton could be secured; but the experience
gained in publishing one of the periodi-
Gals In question justifes me in saying that
the circulation necessary, to accomplish
this could not be secured within the
bounds of our denomination, and I re-
quest your permission to give few rea-
sons that may possibly convince your
readers that this is one among many
impracticable things advocated under the
plea of retrenchment and reform.
LIST. The Earnest Worker, as at present
published, is already one of the cheapest
of periodicals, and to show thisit is only
needful to compare it with some of the
popular and well known publications
which are accepted as marvels of cheap
ness. A number of these l have before
me, and have endeavored to calculate how
much each of them gives, proportionally
to their published price, for so cents
that is, for the same price as the Earnest
Worker.
And here, l desire to correct an error
in regard to the price of the Earnest
Worker. In the discussion of this mat
ter it has been assumed to be 60 cents,
the fact having been overlooked that the
club rate is only 80 cents, and, what
could not have been known generally.
that while there are few who remit us
60 cents, nine-tenths of the whole issue
are sent at club rate, so that practically
the price is only so cents.
The Earnest Worker contains monthly
% pages of reading matter, excluding
advertising pages and cover, SO that the
yearly volume contains 336 pages for SO
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1881-05-04

would be only ridiculous. So, it is of
the essence of the church-organ that it be
grand. The great organs of European
cathedrals, whether appropriate or not
for real Christian worship have the re-
spectability of their proper magnitude.
But your ordinary, American, village
church organ can never appear to per-
sons of taste and good sense, less con-
temptible and ridiculous, than the toy
cannon in the hands of the grown man"
This was twenty-five years ago. What
would he not say now; since the world
has been farther afflicted with that special
engine of humbug, the " cabinet-organ, {"
which is not an organ at all
Now then, all we young ladies and
gentlemen, who are amateur-organists,
on the "pocket-pistol" musical ordinance
OF our towns and villages lend me your
ears: listen close, while 1 whisper a
friendly counsel. Don't betray your bad
taste any more, if you do not wish people
of real aesthetic culture in Europe to
laugh at you, by another instrumental
overture, or interlude, or opera-asia or
fort'ss'n'e brovesra, in religious worship.
But. some one will reply: "There is
musical worship in the European capt.
tails, where classical music is introduced
to great extent" Yes: plenty of it,;
that is, among Papists, Greeks, and Pre-
latlsts who practically count as papists.
The Judgment and taste of Europeans
readily recognize the organ thus used,
and this kind of music, as sufficiently ap-
propriate to the genius of the popish re-
ligion. Where it is held that Ignorance
is the mother of devotion; that the way
to teach spiritual things to the masses is
by pantomime and ghostly theatricals :;
where the conception of worship is of q
symbolic action, which is to move the
soul through the sensibilities, instead of
didactic teaching which is to "sanctify
it through Gods truth, people are con-
sistent in calling to their hell this species
of musical display. But then: that is
not Professionalism. Sensible people in
Europe understand very well, that to
initiate superstition herein is putting
new wine into old bottles" Hence, one
sees between the worship of the real Pro-
testantism of Europe, and our usages, a
great contrast. Why, even Pere Loyson s
Reformed Catholicism in Paris, in this
matter of simplicity, puts many of our
Presbyterian Churches in America to
shame The standard in the Free Church
OF Geneva, the Presbyterian Churches of
Great Britain, the standard bearers of
Professionalism, is Just that of the old Vir-
ginla Presbyterianism of eighty years ago,
now denounced as perfect old-fogyism

riers which obstruct the channels through
which it flows. DR.. Hodges fidelity in
keeping up steady communication by let
lers and by oral discourse with friends
and kindred was evidently one of the
great secrets of lifelong attachments.
Love to man, like love to God, must be
refreshed by personal contact. For one 1

cents Let us see how this compares
with some of those nearly allied in size
and form. The Southern Presbyterian
Reoaea0 contains for the current quarter
22S pages, and as the price is So per
year, the relative amount given for SO
cents is l65 pages. 1t is printed on SUI
perior paper, but then the Earnest
Worker contains about twice the amount
OF reading matter to the page Now the
ReuaeD, like the Earnest Worker, has to
look for its support to the Southern Pres
byterian Church, and the difference in
price only results from the limited pat
ronage accorded to it, and no doubt it is
just as cheap as the publisher can afford
to issue so excellent and heightened
periodical; and for the same reason the
Earnest Worker might have been ex-
pected to be somewhat smaller than
usual; but instead, comparison will
show that it gaves more for SO cents than
any Of the papers circulating an the de-
nomination, besides contributing twenty
per cent of its receipts towards paying
the salary of the Secretary of Publica-
ton for editorial work, or towards Pub
LEGATION as one of the benevolent schemes
of the Church, and sending it to all the
ministers of the Church free.
But let us make good this assertion by
a comparison with some of the more pop
ular and well known periodicals OF the
day. LttelTs Ldving Age, one of the
best known of these, serves well as
comparison, being printed on the same
sized paper, and neither of better quality
nor heavier weight, and as near as pos
sible, page for page, contains the same
amount of matter as the Earnest Worker,
and is regarded as cheap and popular,
yet, at its rate of subscription, it gives
only 212 pages for so cents, against the
336 of the Earnest Workeri
The other periodicals 1 have at hand
differ so much in size and feature that
comparison of page for page would not
give fair criterion of value, so in regard
to them | may be allowed to adopt an
other method; and have endeavored to
make a calculation of how much of printed
surface these give for SO cents. Thus,
we find that of printed surface

have given his cordial support to the
nominee. We hold that every man
who took part in the Primary Con-
vention is in honor bound to support
the man who secured a majority of
the votes. We commend in. the

ored voters of the ward who so faith.
fully and earnestly strove to secure

know that their Republicanism is of

Republican party simply because
their favorite candidate did not re-

THE THIRD WARD.

Mr. James A. Pritchvrd is the reg
ular Republican candidate for Coun-
Gilman in the Third Ward. and as
such should receive the undivided
support of every Republican. The
men who are expected to support the
independent candidate are in the
main colored Republicans, who took
part in the primary which nominated
Mr.. Pritchard, and by all rules Of
party honor, are bound to support
the nominee. Mr.. Pritchard made
an honorable canvass and fairly won
the nomination and no one is more
cordial and enthusiastic in his sup
port than his colored competitor, Mr..
Conrad Burleigh. Mr.. Burleigh is
working diligently for the
success of Mr.. Pritchard, and
earnestly urges every colored man
who supported him to give his cor
dial support to Mr.. Pritchard.
The colored voters are in the
majority in the Third Ward and
on them the responsibility of Mr..
Pritchard's defeat would rest. There
is no complaint that Mr.. Pritchard
has ever betrayed any trust or neg
lected any duty. There is abso-
lutely no Legitimate ground of oppo-
sition to him, and we trust and con.
fidently believe the old Third will re.
turn Mr.. Pritchard to the Council by
an increased majority.

D. w. Grubbs, the Republican can

most business men and most upright
citizens. He should and will be
elected Mayor of Indianapolis next
Tuesday. Mr.. Grubbs has been
identified with the business interests
of indianapolis for years, and no one
doubts that Mr.. .Grubbs will carry to
the Executive office of the city the
same fidelity and efficiency that has
characterized him hitherto in every re-
lation, business, political, or social. He
is decidedly better qualified for Mayor
than his competitor, and besides he is
a true and tried Republican The
unfair fight made against Mr.. Grubbs
has stimulated his friends to greater
exertions, and the indications now are
that be will run ahead of his ticket.

DIRK DERUIrER SET RIGHT.

An attempt is being made to influ
ence the colored vote Of the Second
Aldermanic district against Dirk De
Ruiter, on the ground that Mr.. De
Ruiter did not vote for a colored man
in the Republican County Conven-
ton.
We know this charge to be abso-
lutely false. in every particular.
There were two colored candidates
before the convention, and Mr.. De
Ruiter simply made cho ce between
these two colored men, and for the
colored man of his choice, he worked
faithfully and voted often. A great
injustice is being done Mr.. De Ruiter
by these malicious charges. He was
gallant soldier, during the war, for
the abolition OF slavery, and he has
always been a friend to the colored
people.
Sixteen years ago when a colored
man could scarcely get meals vic
tuals at public place in Indianapolis,
Mr. De Ruiter kept restaurant on
South Illinois street, at which no
distinction was permitted on account
of color
Mr.. De Ruiter is more annoyed by
the false position, in which these
groundless charges place against
him, than by the fear of losing votes.
Dirk De Ruiter is straightforward,
upright, honorable gentleman, and
should receive the cordial support of
every Republican voter in the Second
District, and especially of every col
ored man.
