Christian Faith.

Ministers and church officers are
sometimes afraid to press the ethical and
benevolent claims of Christian faith on
new converts, lest such pressure should
cause them to recede from the further
pursuit of godliness. Such timidity is
a snare to the convert, and likely to
curse the church by encouraging Tow
ethical conscience In its members. Bet
ter, far better, make the convert under
stand, from the start, that faith which
does not purify the life, is dead. A case
of point is found in the memoir Of q
Wesleyan minister who refused to ad-
NIT newly converted widow to church
privileges unless she would consent to
give up the profitable practice Of baking
food for the public on Sunday mornings.
The woman hesItated long, because she
feared ber business OF baking would be-
come Improbable if that part of it were
given up. But the minister was firm.-
The woman's faith proved to be vital,
and she gave up her Sunday business
for Christ's sake The first Sunday af-
ter making this sacrifice on the altar of
principle, she ever after spoke OF as the
happiest day OF her life She then tast-
ed the JOY of the ethical triumph of her
faith. Nor did that act of obedience go
unrewarded, for God's blessing on her
general business made it more prosper
GUS than before. Thus did minister's
fidelity develope individual faith and
maintain the ethical standard OF church
life. A contrary course would have
made the woman, at best, sickly saint,
and cast moral blot on the visible life
of the church.

Persimmon Beer,

The editor of the San Diego
Vnion, on receiving a present OF
Japanese persimmons, falleth into
. reverie of old times and discourse
eth thus:
In the South the negroes, who
knew nothing of wine and lager,
used to make q favorite beverage
from the persimmon juice, about
Christmas times. When these I'M
sophisticated sons of Ham had
their holiday carnival, they always
had q bountiful supply of apple
cider and persimmon beer. And
how often have we heard them, In
the midst of their hilarity, Join in
. chorus of rich melody known to
no other people,
"Apple cider and 'simmon beer,
Christmas comes but once year"
But those days have gone by.
These simple, happy people have
become politicians and estates
men," and they now yearn after
official honors. In fact, most all
Of us have travelled far away from
the simple Gus IONS of the past, and
are running after "strange gods"
Yet there are but few who do not
sometimes call them up, and com.
mune with them in a sweet re.
verie, investing their very homeli-
ness with beauty that we fail
to associate with all the wonderful
things Of modern art and culture
This is q poetic loyalty to the pas
that makes US all the better.

Daily Los Angeles herald., 1881-11-05

The following recommendation
speaks for itself:
The undersigned committee, ap.
pointed to award premiums on
Glass x, Premium List of District
Agricultural Association No. 6,
would call the attention of the Di.
rectors Of the Association to the
splendid exhibit of insects injurious
and beneficial to farmers and fruit
growers, put on exhibition by B.
Alex. Craw Of Los Angeles, Mat
thew Cooke of Sacramento, and
M. Lelopg OF Los Angeles, and re-
quest that you award the society
medal to each of them. Believing
as we do that the industry and
care given by the gentlemen above
named deserve a marked recogni-
ton by your society, it seems to us
that nothing could possibly engage
the attention Of the farmers and
fruit-growers moro profitably than
an acquaintance with insects that
are the enemies or friends of veg
etsble life, and every encourage
ment should be given to caltivate
this acquaintance; and in our opin-
ion the efforts Of Mr.. Craw, Mr..
Cook and Mr.. Lelong are very sue
cessful in this direction and deserve
well of their fellow-citizens.
