The Grain Elevator.
The Only One in the Big State of
Florida,

Florida.
yocks0nriue Union.
The big State OF Florida has but
one grain elevator and that belongs
to Capt J. E. Hart, of Jacksonville.
For several years Capt. Hart has
contemplated such an institution but
has been frequently thwarted in his
plans Tor its completion. Last April
he bought, from Mr.. S. Il. Hubbard,
a river lot fronting Colonel Hub
bard's house, went to work with
will, and to-day the unique and ac-
complished structure at the foot OF
Liberty street is monument to the
enterprise, energy and nerve of its
builder and proprietor.
AS we strolled up 10 the elevator
on yesterday, the three-masted
schooner "Col. Millikin" was moored
to the wharf, and it was easy to see
that the machinery was at work.
We boarded the schooner. Down
in the hold was stored away shin>
ing mass of golden grain 10000
bushels in alp from New York and
Jersey.
Suddenly from the tall tower of
the elevator came down the ponder
Gus double "leg," made Of two long,
rectangular hollow pipes open at the
end, with metal tongues that follow
ed a chain up one and down another.
The great "leg" buried itself foot
or more in the midst Of the mass OF
grain in the hold, the proper MAJ
chinery was set in motion, and the
great tongue Tapped up the grain In
huge quantities and sent it whirling
in steady stream up stairs, whence
it came down after being famed,
busted and cooled by mechanical APP
planes into large circular measN
IRE scientifically arranged, so that
when 1000 pounds of grain had fall
en- into it a scale in sight OF the meas
urer flew up and the stream OF grain
was turned into another receptacle
above until the measure could empty
itself. From this circular box then,
which accurately measured all that
came into the elevator building, the
grain was distributed through vari-
Gus pipes and shafts into the bins.
There are altogether fourteen bins In
the building. -Four of these will
hold 10000 bushels of grain each,
and ten smaller ones will hold 5000

only the hand of God in severe affliction
or great need can force it open.
Such a course is also hindrance in
his work. 1t becomes a burden and dis
enlargement to see so much of his labor
unused. He is not only without the sup
port OF many warm hearts standing close
around him in love, but he becomes
weary with carrying SO many cold
hearts. He is not permitted to have
that knowledge of the individual need of
his people which is necessary to SYM
patty and well-directed and effective
ministration. He gropes his way where
there ought. to be light from the open
door; he speaks at random, except as he
feels that the experience and need he
does know have their parallels in the
hidden lives.
This failure to use the pastors labor is
especially an injury to the persons them
selves. 1t is not only the loss of so much
of the ministry of the Word, but of that
part of it which is ordinarily found the
most profitable. The services of the
Sabbath have fixed, formal character,
which does not fully meet the wants of
individual worshippers At best, they
are for the whole congregation, and
therefore must have general character
which ordinarily separates them to a.
certain extent from the special needs of
the several members. The prayer-meet-
ing and other services have less of this
restraint. The individual life becomes
more prominent there, and in the freedom
of the services the soul of the worship
per finds better expression of its desire
and receives in larger measure the suited
Word. Still more in the more private
intercourse of the pastor with his people
there is opportunity for the direct minis
tration to the personal spiritual need,
and to withhold the knowledge of it from
him is to lose the benefit of that part of
his ministry which is most effective of
spiritual comfort and strength.
We make no plea here for the mistakes
and failures of pastors; our plea is for
Gods people and His work in their
hearts and in the world through them.
An untold number of the redeemed are
suffering in their spiritual life, the moral
power of the ministry and of the Church
is weakened, and the glorious day of
Gods grace is retarded by the failure of
so many to use the pastoral labor devoted
to their benefit. Used to the full meas
ure it would be difficult to say which is
the greater, the delight in the new spirit
ual life, or the establishment at the en-
largement of the pastor power United

Psalm XIV.

Who. in Thy temple o Lord, shall abide
Who, in Thy holy hill, ever shall dwell?
He that uprightly doth walk by Thy side,
Working all righteousness faithfully we'll
He that the truth in his heart doth assert,
Backbiting none with the tongue of deceit,
Careful to do to his neighbor no hurt
Never receiving reproach to repeat
He with an eye, all the vile to despise,
HOnoring ever the saints of the Lord;
He on whose promise his neighbor relies,
Swearing and changing not, keeping his word
Who, of poor neighbors, no usance will take,
Nor gainst the guiltless bride will demand
Righteous and truthful and firm for Christ sake,
Honored and moveless and dauntless shall
stand. CARL MEINHARTs.

Tennessee, the Western district of Ten
nessee, and the Southern part of Ar
kansas. During the most of his life, he
united teaching with the regular preach
ing of the gospel. His example was al
ways pure and elevating. His memory
is precious in the hearts of many friends
At the age of eighty, Mr.. Lacy was af-
tilcted with blindness, and for decade
was not permitted to look upon the light
OF the sun, or the varied beauties of ma
ture, in which his poetic temperament
and his cultivated taste had always
caused him so much delight.
The resources afforded by his cultiva-
ton, and his very remarkable memory,
kept his mind in constant activity and
prevented depression of spirit or decay
OF his mental powers. He said very ex-
pressively on one occasion, " My memory
stands like an obedient hand maiden by
my side, and tenders me almost every
thing that 1 wish" He said that his
memory had been greatly strengthened
and improved by blindness that he was
able to recall far more of the sacred text
than he had thought possible. He could
repeat most of the Psalms, almost all the
words of our Saviour, and almost every
hymn of much poetic beauty and merit
In our Psalmody. He held that Milton
could never have composed Paradise
Lost had he not been blind-that the
mind, distracted and isolated from sur
rounding objects, could concentrate its
powers so as to make its impressions APP
pear to be real and actual existences.
He believed in the efficacy of prayer
for children and their descendants, and
spent much of his time in that holy ex-
ercise. He regarded God as having been
peculiarly merciful and gracious towards
his own family in putting so many of
them into the holy work of the ministry.
He died in the ninetieth year of his age,
November 1880. He came to his grave
IN full age, like as shock of corn cometh
In IN his season. He departed in perfect
peace. Blessed are the dead who die
in the Lord"
The above facts have been furnished
by our DR.. B. T. Lacy. History repeats
itself. Much that is said of the father
may be said of the son, leaving out the

Observation-Disclosures in Defense of
the Truth.

We cannot, as Christians, he too care
full of the words spoken and the positions
taken IN maintaining righteous cause.
1t was recently that an earnest advocate
of temperance in the employ of legiti-
mate corporationdeclined to receive money
from customer on the ground that it
had probably been earned by the sale of
liquor. We were shocked when we
heard the abusive epithets employed by
that subordinate. One thing is certain,
there was displayed such an uncharitable
spirit on his part, that any efforts made
by him to reform the erring man, would
very likely prove utterly useless.
In our intercourse among men the OPP
portunity is daily given to exemplify the
Christian virtues-patience and long
suffering. A hasty temper will never
win. Whenever the Christian is tempted
to indulge it, even in the advocacy of
holy principles, he occupies shifting,
insecure foothold Unlessit be immediate
ly checked, he will render that truth
which he so much loves Intellectual. He
will be led on to assume unreasonable
positions in the heat of the moment, and
will thus yield to Satan the easy victory
Our Lord has submitted to us such de-
finite instructions upon this subject, that
it is a marvel that any one could misun-
derstand. His whole life, as well as his
words, will show the Interchangeable prin.
ciples by which the conquest of the truth
is achieved. Behold him His daily
demeanor was but the repetition of his
Injunction: Love your enemies, bless
them that curse you, do good to them
that hate you, and pray for them that
despitefully use you, and persecute you.
1t may be urged that the cause of truth
sometimes demands of US severity of
speech. Such occasions seldom occur
never, we believe, where the precepts of
Jesus in regard to love must be set aside.
The realm of unholiness will never be
successfully invaded by "carnal weaP-
ons. Brave words should be spoken
against sin, but behind them must be the
spirit Of blessing those who curse of do
ing good to such as hate us Of inferred
ing for such as prosecute. The Rev. Dr..
Whedon has struck the profound depths
Of that moral heroism in the daily display
of which Christianity is made so pre-emi-
nent: What a beautiful and mastery
calmness does our Lord here prescribe to
the Christian heart He is to keep BIZ
own temper undisturbed, and while his
enemy is raging with insane fury, he is
calmly to study by what skillful applica-
ton to touching kindness he can transform
the lion to lamb. By so doing he at
tains victory but that is the smallest
part Of the matter He has transformed
an enemy to friend and what is better
than either, he has, perhaps, converted
a sinner from his error, and saved soul
from death " Y. Christian AdUocute.
