THE SUN DO MOVE.

The Rev. John Jasper, Richmond's
well known colored preacher, repeated
his celebrated lecture in Richmond on
a recent Sunday evening, before large
audience.
The renowned "sun" orator preach.
ed from the book of Exodus: "The
Lord is Man of War the Lord is His
Name" In very graphic manner
the preacher carried bis large and very
attentive audience over the times when
Israel was in Egypt, and across the
Red Sea, the Wilderness, the Jordan,
passed Jericho, and down to the wars
OF Joshua, and at this point proved to
the satisfaction OF large class OF his
hearers that Joshua did command the
the "sun TO stand still" The preacher
referred to many passages alluding to
the rising and going down of the sun.
His logic about the distance of the sun
from the earth was very fine, when,
with contempt, he said some wise men,
so called, stated the distance to be forty
millions, others fifty millions, and one
as much as one hundred and four mill.

"N har could you get tape line long
enough to measure such distance 7
And how could a man get up close

Now in August it is so hot here that
folks want an umbrella, q fan, and
plenty of ice water and yet these wise
men say we are 104,000,000 of miles

he looked into the face of one of the
most accomplished divines liz Virginia
and one of the best civil engineers in
this country. Mr.. Jasper treated all

with the plain Word of God, but must

ITS WHAT YOU SPEND.

"Its what thee'll spend, my son,
said a sage old Quaker, mot what
theoll make, which will decide wbcth.
or thee's TO be rich or not" The ad.
vice was trite, for II was Franklin's
in another shape-"Take care Of the
pence, and the pounds will take care
Of themselves" But it cannot be too
often repeated. Men are continually
indulging in small expenses, saying TO
themselves that it is only q trihe, yet
forgetting that the aggregate is serious,
that even the seashoro is made up Of
petty grains of sand. Ten cents q day
Is even s36.50 year, and that is the
interest of a capital OF $500. The man
that saves ten cents u day only is 80

If he owned a life estate in house
worth 5000 and if invested quarterly

cents a day is child's play, some will

wishes to bo rich has saved $4,000 be

in wealth. How many, however, who
spend $1,000 in few years in extra
expenses, then, on looking back, can't
toll, as they say, "where tho money

squander, even In small sums, IS the
FIRST step towards the poor.house.

PROHIBITION RUN MAD.

The sober and judicious editor of tn,
New York Times (poltics excepted
in abiding to the crazy efforts of en-
thusiasts in number of the States who
are demanding laws so as to prohibit
the manufacture and sale of all intox
icating liquors, says
"An ostensible victory which, in pro.
hibitory eyes, will seem O great conso
lation for the wounds inflicted by the
wicked Crosby is the Kansas law which
proposes to punish any clergyman or
minister who undertakes to administer
the sacrament OF the Last Supper with
fermented wine. AS is generally
known, the prohibitlonists were forced
long ago either to deny that Christ and
His Apostles drank wine or to take the
ground so ably maintained by the late
j. r. Robinson that "they didn't know
everything down in Judee." They
choose the former alternative, and to
ease the strain thereby put upon the
Scriptures they invented the hypothe.
sis that there were two kinds Of wine
in use in Judea, fermented and uDfer.
mented wine, and that while publicans
and sinners drank the former, all up
right Jews drank the latter. That is
to say the least, gross libel on the
Jews. Those able people were singu.
larly gifted in gastronomic genius,
gift which their modern descendants
inherit. They know what to eat and
what to drink. To suppose that David
and Solomon and the prophets knew
no better than TO drink the sickening
and unwholesome juice of the grape in
its yet unfermented state is to degrade
them far below the level of the intelli. |
gent heather. The prohibitlonists,
however, stout y maintain that Christ
drank only unfermented wine, and that
the use Of iermented wine IN the sac.
is crime. Hence, they have
attempted to parody the most solemn
mystery of Christianity with elderber.
ry juice and currant wine, and have
ihus substituted cramps and cholera
norbus for sacramental grace. The
Church, and nearly all the sects, have,
however, clung to the use OF wine in
.he sacrament, to the great grief and
Indignation of the prohlbitionists, and
we can imagine the joy with which
hey greet the proposal of those pro.
ound theologians and Biblical critics,
he Kansas legislators, to forbid the
celebration Of the sacrament, and to
ubstitute the currant wine and elder.

THE POPES MESA GE TO THE
CZAR,

Statements that have found their
way into the columns OF some of the
leading newspapers of the country in
reference TO the standpoint from which
the Gar, as the head Of the Russian
Church, is viewed from O Roman Cath.
olic attitude, render necessary few
words of explanation in order to cor
rect an erroneous impression likely to
reproduced by the publication towhich
we have referred. The New York
Times, in referring to the subject, said
among other things "From the Ro.
man Catholic standpoint the Gar is a
heretlc and an anti.Christ." This, we
are assured upon high Catholic author.
ity, is not the case. The Car is re.
garded by the Roman Catholic Church
as simply a scbismatie, because he is
separated from the head of the Catholic
Church. The difference between a
hereto and a schismatc is that the
former denies some Of the revealed
truths, while the latter admits them
but does not recognize the Pope as the
supreme head Of the church. In this
sense the Car as the ruler of his sub.
Jects, claims also supreme control in
the matter of religion, and in that re.
spect is, as viewed from the Catholic
standpoint, simply pretender and
schismatic layman, who Of course has
no claim to the title Of Supreme Pontifl.
Neither the Pope nor any Catholic re-
CARDS tho Russian autocrat as anti.
Christ in the scriptural sense, and at
no time has such an epithe. been ap.
piled either by the Pope or by any
Catholic to him. The Gar is thus not,
as we have explained, regarded by the
Catholic Church as an enemy Of Christ,
but only in as much as he opposes the
livine regimen OF the Roman Catholic
religion. The Catholics, of course, re.
gard the Gar as an oppressor of re.
igion, as he has by iorcible means com.
)elled millions of Catholics TO turn
rom the faith of their iorefathers.
That the fact of the Pope sending mes.
ages Of coincidence to the new Car,
md thereby recognizing heresy and
ympathizing with anti. Christ" as as.
erted by the Times, is an equally un.
enable proposition. The Pope is not
My the spiritual head of the Catholic
)hurch, but he is also at the same
ime, like the Gar, prince, holding
iplomatic relations, even although de.
rived Of his temporal power, and in
be latter capacity sent his messages
coincidence to the family of the mur.
cred Car, just as did the other princes
I European countries, and such indeed
5 was sent by the heads of our own
nd other republics. Non Catholic
rinces are, of course, outside the pale
fthe Catholic Church, and the Pope ar.
'gates and exercises no spiritual pow
orjurisdiction whatever over them,
nd the anathemas which the Holy
ee occasionally proclaims ere inflicted
such as belong to the religion OF
hieh it Is the recognized head on
Irth. In religious sense therefore
le Pope, il will be seen, has no more
do with the Gar of Russia or any
her non.Catholc prince than he has
lth the King Of the Zulus.-Erchdn0e.

LINES ON THE DEATH oFMY
SISTER.

Farewell, dearest Mersie
We bid our last adieu,
Our hearts are all aching
From the losing ofyou.
But what we feel our loss,
Is most surely your gain,
Since now you're iu heaven,
That blest land, without pain.
Your heart unto Jesus
In health you to him gave,
And died happy, trusting,
With no fear Of the grave.
You have now left this world,
With Its tears, pains, and frowns.
Aud with the redeemed
Wear bright, starry crown.
Fifteen short Geeting years!
How quickly they have fed
And Mertie is numbered
Among the silent dead;
And though we do miss you,
And your home is above,
Yet again we can meet you
With those Of Gods love.
Dear mother remember,
Asher grave you pass by,
Though in the cold valley
Her frail body doth lie,
Her spirit Is in Heaven
'Mong the glori6ed thrOng,
And singing with Jesus
That sweet triumphant song.
And father will miss her,
And never will he know
A daughters affection
Any more here below
But If you live rightly
In Heaven you will meet,
And with her and the angels
The sweet story repeat.
Now, to her twin brother,
oh, what more can say,
Than follow her footsteps
And tread the narrow way
So when the Death Angel
May summon you away,
Again you can meet her
10 realms Of endless day.
And brothers and sisters
Who arc left here to mourn
The loss Of a sister,
While on earth you sojourn,
Pray live for to meet her
In that home upon high,
Aud dwell with her, happy
Through all eternity.
Then farewell, dear sister,
You have gone home before;
We miHs thee, VIC miss thee,
And our loss We deplore;
Bot we would not recall thee
From Heaven again
Back to a world Of grief,
Sorrow, sickness and pain.
