MISSIONARY DAY.


AT the Duke street M. r. Church.
The Sunday schools of the First NJ. E.
church, comprising the East Mission, on
East King street, the West Mission,
North Charlotte, and the Sunday schools
Immediately connected with the church,
held union missionary anniversary in
the church yesterday afternoon ut q
o'clock. The pupils of the two mission
schools marched to the church in bodies,
and with the school proper filled all the
| available space i'll the large cdificc. The
exercises were under the supervision of
Mr.. John 3. Good, president of the Mis-
sionary society, and Rev. S. II. c. Smith,
pastor, and Rev. S. .. Garrison, assistant
pastor, assisted by Mr.. B. F. Shaub,
superintendent of Duke street school. DR..
J. L. WithrOw, superintendent of West
Mission school, and Mr.. James Black,
superintendent of East Mission school.
The exercises opened with the singing OF
that well known missionary hymn, ''From

then sung. and was followed by the II adm.
of the scripture lesson of the day by
Superintendent Shaub. After the singing
of "G!ad Tidings," Rev. r. W. Hum
phrics, Of Reading, addressed the congre-
CATION in behalf Of mission work. This
discourse was a review of the work already
accomplished, where missions and mis-
sionarcs, hitherto unknown, have been
sent and felt, and the extent of the
labor yet to be done at home and abroad,
in the slums of our larger cities and
among the Bushmen of Africa. He COM
mended the congregation on their liberal
response to calls in the past and hoped still
better of them in the future. ''Good
News From Afar' was the subject of the
next hymn sung, aud was followed by the
offerings of the classes Of the different
schools for the cause in whose interest
they were assembled. Rev. S. II. G.
Smith, PASTOR received the cont ributiOns,
intcrspersing their acceptance with
suitable remarks. They foot up the
handsome sum of 1878, which,
with those contributed by the church, will
swell the amount to a fraction below 5000,

A Senator With Two Seats.

In pursuance of his wish to put him.
self on both sides the political fence, Sen
ator Malone is now reported to have
selected seat on the Republican side of
Senate, just as Il short while since he
chose one on the Democratic side. This
was done for him, We are informed, by
two separate and distinct g friends of
opposite political compleXions, and the
senator, not desiring to scorI the amiable
service of either, proposes to keep both
seats to serve his future occasions. 1t is
a very handy arrangement for gentle
man who expects to see SO much service
on both political sides of the Senate.
He can keep his Democratic decu-
Ments in one desk and his Republican
material i'm the other; and so ensure that
there will he no confusion in his papers
when he comes to represent himself on
one side or the other. He will only need to
seat himself in his Republican chair, on
the days he has predetermined to devote
his services to that party, to be all ready
for his work. And nn Democratic days
the Democratic seat will sustain him
with equal security and satisfaction. 1t
is really a pity that there are not enough
seats in the Senate chamber to go around,
giving each senator two; and perhaps it
is a pity that there are not more senators
SO happily constituted as to need them.
1t would be very interesting to read the
daily reports of the senatorialproceedings
if we might look for a frequent slough
ing off by the senators of their old pO-
litical skins. 1t is little tiresOme to
see the Republicans and Democrats each
day marchin" along to the same old tune.
1t may he very consistent and very sat
isfactory and very proper fer our sena-
tors to adhere steadily to opinions which
they have carefully formed and have
been elected to represent, but it is dread
fully monOtonous nevertheless. How
much more lively is this flea, Malone,
and how much more of the public atten-
ti0n he gets, just because he enjoys a po-
litical trust which nobody knows just
how he is going to discharge, and
has to take two senatorial seats to en-
able even himself to know on any partic-
ular day whether lie is for the time being
a Democrat or Republican,. 1t is prob
able that, if many Of the senators would
keep us thus in suspense, it might be-
come irritating and we might say severe
things about their insincerity and vacil-
lation but when there is only one at
the work, and he such natural political
monkey, it is only amusing /; at least, at

"OUR GOBLINS." {"
Saturday Night ut tho Opera HI

Saturday Night ut the Opera House.
The Gill ''GOblin' party appeared at
Fulton opera house Saturday night to an
audience of fair numbers. For some rc:,-
son or other the piece advertised so ex-
tensvcly and SD han(lsOmely-"Fun OH
the Rhine''-was withdrawn, and an ell
tircly different composition substituted
and instead Of the terrifying legend Of the
castle, the scenes were laid in the more
commonplace groove Of modern society.
Act 1st represents Our GOblins" ut home,
where, seated in the parlOr of the chief
Goblin, and worn out with ennui, some
one suggests the idea of having play,

observation was cminently u true one.
The performance is Of that nOntlcscript
character which battles criticism, even
while it invites it. Tho audience caught
itself laughing ut the numberless absurl

Of the piece, while conscious of 4 some
thing lacking, an incOherence in it's COM

Outspoken in their dissatisfaction, and
rorlndly kissing the performance as the
curtain fell. The one feature Of the enter

which was exceptionally good. The COM

been enlarged since it's former appearance
here. Mr.. WIN. Gill and Miss ElinOr

great edification, the preacher said there
were some things left unsaid in that dis
coruse which to his mind had spoken even
more eloquently than the lecturers words,
and from this he went on to Opresent from
the Christian standpoint the marvellous
beauties Of the law of love. All other
systems. he cOntended are plaG iarismS
upon this enunciatiOn Of the Bible. The
religion of Mohammed and Of Buddha,
the doctrine Of humantarianism, whilst
they imbibe its spirit, are, being
only partial in their scope. inferior to
Christianity. They are lacking in something
wanting in the very life. The speaker
!ikened all other systems Of ethics to an

chanical construction place it upon the
track and it will not stir: there is 10 mo-
tive power. Fill the boiler with water.
apply the match the steam is generated,
and away speeds the engine that without
this motive power had stood helpless. Love,
the law as pronounced in the words Of the
text. is the life Of the Christian religion
and the all-pOwerful factor it its being.
The story is told of Il sculptor who created
a statue of q beautiful woman. Day By
day he observed the ripening charms of
his own handwork, the perfect figure and
beautiful face, till finally lie fell in love
with it. He fell down at the feet of the
statue. and poured forth the pent-up feel
ings OF his heart he sought to embrace
it. but the cold form, the rigid immovable
lips, returned not his caresses there was
no life there. Thus with the religions
that are devoid Of the spirit Of love,
which is the fountain-heaI OF Christianity.
Humanitarianism grows eloquent over
the misery of race, while the individual
is permitted to starve upon the doorstep.
1t is 4 system which, dealing in glowing
gencralities, is without the one great es-
sential that christianity alone, OF all the
systems which have ever existed, supplies
the doctrine of love, of personal, individual
love. Christianity tells its disciple to
Glove thy ncighbor rs thyself.' 1t does
not say, Go and educate him, civiliZc him,
cnlighten him, but it employs that word
more comprehensive, swceter and mightcr
than all Others-lOve him.
The preachers concluding words COM
prised a defense Of system that he had
been panied to hear dIsparaged in the lee
turc to which he had alluded at the outset
Of his sermon, the work of foreign mis-
sions. He applauded the good the church
has done in this field and quoted from the
words Of the Master, g Go yc into all the
world and preach the gospel and claimed
that but for the work that has been done
in this direction, the church and the Chris
tian religion to-day would not possess its
present strength and zeal nor its power
for good.
