MR.. WIN. WESTFALL.
OF Duchess Co., n. Y, so Years Of Age,
Suffered Continually for Many
Years from Stone in the
Bladder.

Great age and painful disease are q sad
combination. Yet Mr.. William Westfall,
formerly of Rock City, Duchess Co., N. Y,
now of Washington Hollow, in the same
county, came to the office of DR., David
Kennedy, the eminent Physician and Sur
geon Of Rondout, N. Y, some time since,
in a condition to excite the sympathy of the
most cold-blooded aud hard-hearted person
in the world. We say he came-he was,
rather, carried to the Doctors office, for he
was totally helpless, and bore the weight of
80 years besides He had suffered long
from Retention of Urine, and had all the
symptoms Of an aggravated case Of calculus
formations in the bladder. The usual in
strumental examination revealed the pres
ence in the bladder of urinary calculus of
uncommon size. Dr. Kennedy frankly told
Mr.. Westfan that owing TO his age and
debility, an operation was out Of the ques-
ton, but that he could, by the prescription
Of 'Kennedy's FavOrtte Remedy" to-
gether with local treatment, make him com
Portable and leave him to live out all his
days. The outcome of this was that the
patient enjoys good health to this day.
The Reasons Why
DR.. Kennedy's "FaVOrite Remedy" ie
being extensively used by our people are as
follows; It is a combination of vegetable
alternatives. 1t is pleasant TO the taste,

John Knocks Liturgy.

DR.. McCrie, in an appendix to his
" Life of John Knox" gives the follow
ing account of this Liturgy:
What has been called Knoxs Liturgy
was the Book of Common Order, first
used by the church at Geneva. 1t con-
tains forms of prayers for the different
parts Of worship and this is the only
resemblance it bears to the English Lit
urgy. But there is this important diff
ference between the two-in the English
the minister is restricted to the repetition
OF the very words of the prayers in the
Scottish he is left at liberty to vary from
them, and to substitute prayers of his own
In their room. The following quotations
will exempify the mode of the latter
&" When the congregation is assembled at
the hours appointed the minister useth
one OF these two confessions, or like IN
effect" The minister after the sermon
useth this prayer following, or such like.
Similar declarations are prefxed to the
prayers to be used at the celebration of
baptism and the Lords Supper. And at
the end of the account of the public SER
vices of the Sabbath this intimation is
subjoined: ct shall not be necessarie
for the minister daylie to repeat all these
things before mentioned, but, beginning
with some manner of confession, to pro-
coed to the sermon, which ended, he
either useth the prayer for all estates be-
fore mentioned, or else prayeth as the
Spirit of God shall move his heart, franz
ing the same according to the ii me and
matter which he hath entreated Of
( Knox,s Liturgy, PIP. IA, 83, Sc, 12O.
Edin. l61D. And at the end of the form
of accommodation it is signifed "This
order may be enlarged or contracted as
the wisdome of the discreet minister shall
think expedlent; for we rather show the
way to the Ignorant than prescribe order
to the learned that cannot be amended
(Dunlap's Confessions, II, 746). The
Scottish prayers, therefore, were intended
as help to the ignorant, not as a re-
straint upon those who could pray with
out set form. The readers and exhort-
ers commonly used them, but they were
encouraged to perform the service in a
different manner (Knox's Liturgy, page
1867

Questions for Hearers.

When you return home from the house
of God on the Sabbath feeling that you
have been benefited but little, if at all, by
the services, the prayers and praises,
before blaming the preacher or some one
else, please answer these questions:
l. Did you have this Sabbath service
in your mind during the week, and were
you looking forward to it with interest
and delight, praying and hoping that you
might be benefited by it?
2. Did you read the Bible and pray to
God every day of the previous week?
3. Did you commune with your own
heart" and expect to have God meet with
you and commune with you in his sane
tuary?
4. Did you rise from your bed on the
Sabbath morning at least as early as you
do on other days of the week, that you
might have time for prayer, reading the
Word and pious meditation before going
to the house of God?
5. Did you join heartily in the prayers
and praises of the sanctuary, and listen
attentively and prayerfully to the word
read and preached?
If you are honest and candid with
yourself, you probably will have to an
swer some Of these questions in the mega
tive. If so this helps to explain why you
were so little profted by the service II
now you will amend your ways" and SO
live through the week before you that
you can answer them all in the affirma-
tive, what would otherwise be a dry
Gospel sermon will be sweet food for the
EVANGELICAL Repository.

A CenturY's Changes

The following from recent lecture in
Edinburgh, by the Rev. D. James Tay-
Tor, will be of interest to more than
Scotch readers:
" A century ago there was only one
stage coach from Edinburgh to London,
and it took from Is to Is days to per-
form the journey. The land to the Nor
Loeb was then just beginning to be built
upon. The North Bridge had not been
commenced, and there was nothing but
open country south of the old city boun-
diaries. A curious characteristic of the
religious feeling in Scotland was shown
IN the new winnowing machine being
regarded by great portion of Presbyte-
rlans with distrust, if not aversion. On
the ground that the wind was thing
specially made by God, they regarded
an artificial wind as a daring and i'm
plous attempt to usurp the divine prero-
gatlve. The mode in which the cultivators
Of the soil were housed and clothed pre-
sented well-marked characteristics. The
cottages OF the peasantry were generally
mere novels, some altogether in turf or
mud, plastered over basket-work. The
house IN which Burns was born was one
OF this sort, and had been erected by the
poets fathers own hands. It was not to
be wondered, therefore, that one stormy
morning after the poets birth gable
fell out, and Mrs. Burns and infant had
to be carried through the storm to
another cottage. Carpets in those DAYS
were only to be seen in the houses of the
gentry. They had it on the authority
OF DR.. Sommerville that in Jedburph at
that time carpets were only to be seen in
the manse or squire's house. Food WAS
eaten OIL wooden platters, and clocks
were only to be found in large houses
Taverns were so ill-provided that travel
lers always required to carry knife and
fork in case for their own personal use.
One glass had often to do for a whole
company, and when this was altered it
did not please an old TOPPER whose opin-
ION was that they were better DAYS when
there were fewer glasses and more bot
Ties; Kali brose was the principal diet
OF the peasantry, and was made by pour
ing kali into bicker Of oatmeal forming
mess, one would suppose, almost equal
to the black broth" OF Sparta. During
the winter season barley broth and boiled
fowls and green's was the standing din
ner in every gentleman's house. Tea
began to be used in Scotland between
l76O and ITO, and had so helped to i'm
prove our social customs that it should

The scenes of this book are LAID in the stormy
period of the English Revolution, the principal
character being Mr.. John Inglesant, some time
servant to King Charles l., the memoirs of
whose life it processes to give in the form of
romance. The object of the story is given in
the authors own words: Amid the tangled
web of life's story 1 have endeavored to trace
some distinct threads-the conflict between
Culture and Fanaticism the character and
analysis of Sin F.; the subjective influence of the
Christian Mythos. l have endeavoled to de-
pict the Cavalier not invariably drunken
brute; and spiritual life and growth as not ex-
clusively the possession of the Puritans and As
cetics" The hero is led successfully through
:" the broken and shallow cisterns of human
love, worldly opportunity, literature, philoso-
ply, mysticism, ritualism, and ecclesiasticism"
Coming in turn under the influence of Plato,
Lucretius, Hobbies, Henry More, the alchemists;
the Quakers, the Jesuits, the Puritans, and pre-
senting the better side of all these systems, he
lands in the ecclesiastical and sacramental suf-
fciency of " Catholicism" within the Church of
England

Mr.: Spurgeon said: [ will tell you

edge of this truth 1t may happen the
telling of that will bring some one else

hood to convince me of sin. 1 lived a
miserable creature, finding no hope, no
comfort; thinking that surely God would
never save me. AT last the worst came
to the worst-I was miserable; I could
do scarcely anything. My heart was
broken IN pieces. Six months did l
pray, prayed agonizingly with all my
heart, and never had an answer. re-
