"A Suitable & Name.

Last evening quite a nice-looking
young girl, apparently about 16 years
of age, who said her name was Annie
Ruin, was before the Mayor to answer
the charge OF being drunk and disor-
derly. The officer who made the arrest
said that the night before she was along
with a crowd of young men and girls
making great deal of noise and acting
in an improper manner. Upon being
interrogated by the Mayor she replied
she had nothing to say, and was fined
50 and costs.

quite as much of worry to the lead

the moment has reference to the occult

there was any possibility of Cornell

portuDity to pose as "balance OF

cordingly; but now that that possibility
has faded away under the noxious in
duence of the "blind pool" the Tam

has no visible market.
That he will be excluded from the
Democratic State Convention there is
scarcely doubt; but If his boast were

$4,000 votes, he could easily defeat,
under the thirst of revenge, whatever
nominations that body may put IN the

that he has any such following. They
concede to him $4,000 at the utmost,

He is trying to persuade the Anti
Monopoly people to place certain men
on the State ticket which he shall

of the other two parties. If the Anti
Menopolists were only sure that Mr..
Kelley could deliver his 60, 900 votes to
their order on the day of election, they
might close a bargain with him. AS it
Is, they are little dubious, and would
like to feel their way without commit

morning the dead body of Daniel Ly-
berger, aged 35, laborer, of Cumber-
land, was found In the canal about a
mile below town, His jaw was shat
tered, there was cut over the eye and
the right ear were gone. Physicians
say that the wounds are not sufficient
to have caused death. They think
death was caused by drowning, and
that the wounds might have been made
by the propeller of a steam canalboat.
The deceased was engaged Saturday

Irreligion in France-Does it
Exist?

Neither in the higher sphere of French
culture, nor among the working classes,
is there any cause for despair about re-
ligion. We cannot, at the close of such
an article as this, enter into a detailed
explanation of our grounds of hope, es-
pecially in relation to the present state
of philosophy in France. 1t would be
easy for us to show that, if the evil is
great, if the tendency to crude material
ism and to refined scepticism equally
fatal to nobler faith is still rife, there
is at the same time movement of
thoughtful inquiry, full of interest and
promise. Among the masses of the peo-
pie the hostility to Christianity is very
superficial. This is evidenced by the in
terest shown by these classes in the
present day in any attempt to diffuse
among them the knowledge of gospel
truth without suspicion Of clericalism
That which is needed to dissipate their
prejudices, and to gain access to their
hearts, is a living Christianity, truly
liberal and wholly unofficial. If Catholic
ism were once disestablished, there would
be chance of seeing movement. of
earnest reformation beginning within'it
for we cannot believe that there are not
many souls outwardly bowling under the
yoke of Ultramontanism, but inwardly
aspiring after some purer and freer re
ligion. Once break up the official sys-
tenn under which, to use the expression
of one of themselves, the Catholic Bish-
ops drill their clergy like regiment of
soldiers; once give the laity the share Of
influence which must fall to them when
they undertake the financial affairs of
the Church, and possibly the life now
sunk in beautiful sleep in that great or
ganization may be revived. Separation
from the State would be to French
Professionalism the only way for return

nal anarchy, for the civil power is bound
to be neutral, and neither can nor ought
to take sides with either conflicting re-
ligious party. Professionalism, indepen-
dent Of the State, would recover that
moral influence by which alone it can
gain the ear Of people more favorably
disposed than is generally believed to
religious liberty. However this may be,
the great question Of to-day is how to re-
concile democracy and religion. With
out such a reconciliation, democracy,
lacking an adequate moral principle Of
cohesion and guidance, will soon lose the
very notion Of liberty and equity, and
will prepare its own downfall. As has
been well said by Edgar Quinet, the
only revolutions which succeed are those
which are not only political but also re-
ligious, because there can be no solid
foundation for liberty apart from con

Lazy Christians.

There is good deal of religious lazi-
ness in the world Once in while we
hear of a Christian worker who is over
wrought, one who dies too soon, or is
laid aside, through excessive devotion.
But the occurrence is so rare that small
volume would probably contain the
records of all such lives in a generation.
There are more churches dying for want
of working pastors than there are pastors
dying through excessive work for their
churches. There are Sabbath Schools
that are languishing because of the want
of energy in those who conduct them.
There are classes that make no progress
because lazy teachers sit before them and
yawn through lesson which they have
not prepared, and which they have not
earnestness enough to teach if they were
prepared. There are Christian men that
let their church run down because they
are too lazy to keep it up. Yet these
same men make their own secular bust
ness succeed. 1t is only as Christians
that they are lazy. 1t is shame to do
the worlds work we'll and then Christ's
work shabby. What is wanted is a re-
vival of Christian energy and zeal God
never blesses laziness. 1t is farce for
you to ask him to bless your parish
work, your preaching, your teaching,
your superintendency, if you put no life
into your work. Conservation is a
mockery unless it be made real by the
utmost we can do. The curse of the
church to-day is laziness.

The Unconverted Ones in Our
Homes

How often do we hear it said: "That
one has a hobby is an enthusiast, or is
desperately in earnest" about some par
ticular object. Let us see what per-
son in that state of mind does in behalf
of his hobby.
If he is, for example an autograph col
lector, he employs large portion of his
time in buying and obtaining in various
ways the signatures of distinguished
people, which signatures he arranges
neatly In volumes. He is ever on the
watch for more and delights in finding
those alike interested with whom he can
converse about his favorite pursuit.
If the possessor of a hobby is woman
and her aim should chance to be the
getting together of as many old cups and
saucers {" the only genuine ones to be
had, he assured me on his word of
honor as the different fancy cabinets
will hold, we know out of the abundance
of her heart her mouth will certainly
speak to her numerous friends and there
will be consultations grave ones, about
the styles, colorings, grouping, ETC., of
the beloved china.
We might multiply illustrations, but
we are all acquainted with persons who
have hobbies, and we know how they
act under their influence.
But are there no higher, nobler sub
jects for enthusiasm than the collection
of autographs or rare old china?
Take the case of happy wife and
mother, the only cloud upon her sky
being that her husband is not one of
Christ's friends, does not care to attend
church that he may hear of the chiefest
among ten thousand and learn to love
MIN and obey his commandments What
is that wife's hobby? Her housekeep-
ing, having well arranged house, every
thing clean, in good order, no dust in
dark corners, nicely cooked meals, neatly
served in a word, all that pertains to
good housekeeping? Her children, their
habits, education, and dress? Or her
husband? have seen some wives study
ing how they might still please and at
tract the love Of youth, the middle-aped
husband Of to-day they found out their
wishes, gratifed their tastes and with an
hundred innocent wifely acts strove to

promote their happiness. This is all
material. though, and is after all mere
mlnlsterlng to creature comfort.
What does faithful wife for the inner
man, the immortal soul, the spirit that
never dies? She prays for him. we take
that for granted. She talks to him
about religion if a fitting occasion pre-
sents itself, though some husbands well
come conversation on any other topic
but religion, sometimes positively forbid
its discussion. And if he will not 90 to
the house of God, there is still the
mighty influence of consistent Chris
tan life. The power of such an example
pervading home cannot fail to exert
beneficial although perhaps unseen eff
feet.
l am sometimes inclined to think that
wives thus situated do not fully realize
the peril to which their beloved ones are
exposed. In the Bible we read, "He
that believeth not shall be damned"
" And these shall go away into everlast-
ing punishment. Everlasting, not for
a season then happy reunion in heaven,
but never ending, a separation for eter-
nifty.
But the wife argues, "My husband is
good, moral man, has no vices, is true,
domestic, and affectionate;" and she has
"a vague, underlined idea that somehow
God is so loving and merciful, her hus-
band VIII get into heaven some way, and
once there it will be all right.
l heard man once say that che did
not do anything wrong he thought he
n11Ifa mad fha 1
could not see the need of salvation be-
cause he was not wicked" Of Christian
parentage, too, and the subject of many
prayers. Will those petitions be an
swered? God hears them and he knows.
We hope and trust they may.
we refer all moralists to the sixty
fourth chapter of Isaiah, sixth verse, and
the eighteenth chapter of st. Luke, ninth
to fifteenth verse.
In conclusion, the intensity of our love
for Christ will be the measure of our de-
sire for the winning of others love to
him. 1t is only human nature exempli-
fed. If we love one very much, we
praise him to others and wish them to
appreciate and esteem him as highly as
we do. If our love grows lukewarm or
becomes Indifference, our praises are apt
to share the same fate. 1t naturally fol-
lows when we realize the soul is of more
Importance than any object or pursuit in
this world, then eminent above every
thing else will be our intense longing to
win by an entire conservation of our
lives, talents, means, and opportunities
those in our homes, and others outside,
to the knowledge Of the infinite love of
God for them, to an acceptance of the
salvation which cost so much and is so
freely offered.

The Folly of Worrying.

AS opposed to this constant habit of
worrying, we find the Bible Astounding
IN promises of rest. All may have it if
they will. All greatly need it. The
world is full of worry. Believers have
the assurance that they shall certainly
enter into rest. Just as God rested
when creation was finished, they shall
rest in Jesus. His rest was not inactive,
but use and enjoyment. AS Jehovah
uses and enjoys the world he made be-
levers use and enjoy salvation actively,
with life renewed day by day." in
works of faith and labors of love-"
This rest comes from faith that Christ
saves us that all the merits of his death
are ours; that he loves us with great
love; cares for us with ceaseless vigi-
lance; provides for us with limitless
generosity; directs all our affairs with
infinite wisdom, and protects with al
mighty power. There is comfort in the
assurance that all power in heaven and
on earth is given to Christ The risen
Lord Spoke these words on purpose to
give us rest. All power on EARTH"
Then he can make all things work for
our good, overrule every event, manage
every force, control the wiles of Satan,
compel the wrath of man to bless his
saints. Under such protection why not
rest? What can harm us? Evil is
transmitted into blessing, sorrow changed
to JOY misfortune forced to yield us
wealth, burdens lifted by mighty arm,
and every want supplied. OF course we
rest if indeed we trust How can we
worry in such refuge? All our
thoughts and energies may be given to
save and comfort others, for the Lord
cares for us.

There were present fifteen ministers and
twenty-five elders.
the services of Rev. w. F. Wilhelm from
Ronceverte church; one for Rev. H. R.
Laird from Anderson; one for Mr.. J. N.

Mr.. Holt was ordained to the full work
of the ministry, and will probably accept
the call put into his hands.
The pastoral relation between Rev. J.

solved. Mr.. Lewis will confne his la
bors to the western portion of his former
field, and Richlands be supplied by Mr..
Wilhelm.
Report was made of church organ
lied at Sewell, adding to the large number
of small churches in our bounds, and
bringing our whole number up to forty
two. Presbytery is making an earnest
effort to occupy this most important field.

New River is, with great rapidity, devel-
oping new enterprises, making in some
places almost continuous town for miles.

sistent to extend it to elders and deacons.

some alterations, approved.

will be Sabbath School convention on

The Legend of the Beautiful
Hand.

There was dispute among three
ladies as to which had the most beautiful
hand. One sat by stream and dipped
her hand into the water, and held it up
another plucked Strawberries until the
ends of her fingers were pink, and
another gathered violets until her hands
were fragrant. An old, haggard woman
passing by asked, "Who will give me
gift for 1 am poor All three denied
her; but another who sat near, unwashed
in the stream, unstained with fruit,
unadorned with flowers, gave her little
gift and satisfied the poor woman. And
then she asked them what was the dis
pute, and they told her, and lifted up
before her their beautiful hands. Beau
tiful, indeed" said she, when she saw
them. But when they asked her which
was the most beautiful, she said at is
not the hand that is washed clean in the
brook; it is not the hand that is tipped
with read; it is not the hand that IS
garlanded with fragrant flowers but the
hand that, gives to the poor is the most
beautiful" As she said these words her
wrinkles fled, her staff was thrown away,
and she stood before them an angel from
heaven with authority to decide the
question in dispute. And that decision
has stood the test of all time.
