"What is the use denying that
the ministry of to-day is not equal
to the occasion? There are many
heroes, and a wonderful work they
are doing; but their number is too
small. 1t will never be different
till the young men of the Church
can be inspired by some heroic
spirit who will set the example of
self-sacrifice and go, not for a
transient visit among the Confer
ences, but go to stay and live and
work and suffer with the brethren.
"What a battle we must fight in

runs smoothly enough, but only
here and there is a belt that reach

there is so much that is ineffective

pressible enthusiasm. Who shall
kindle it? Where is the spiritual

Signing the Temperance Bill.

The scene in the Executive
Chamber on Monday morning, at
the signing Of the temperance bill,
by Gov st. John was one of unusual
interest. The act was one of much
moment, and was one carried out in
the presence Of a number of ladies
who had been prominent in tenn
perance movements throughout the
State, and Of the clerks of the
various legislative departments.
The pen which was used for the occa-
sion was taken to the State Histori-
al Departments for preservation as
a souvenir. This bill bears the
name of Gov. st. John, Lieut.. Gov.
Finney, and Speaker Johnson, and
is attested by the Secretary of the
State.-Golde,a Gate, Of Kansas

the Grand Jury of Cabel county

pretty well, but our last Grand

one true bills; and, that both Wood
and Cabell counties are gathering
the costly fruits of a fourishing
liquor traffic, let every observer take
note. Nine-tenths of Wood coun-

the direct and natural fruit of this

is not far different in Cabell.
