The Harvest.

Since our last issue considerable ex-
element has prevailed regarding the
harvest. Last week it rained every day
putting STOP to all work in the field. A
large portion of the winter wheat and
the greater part Of the barley were ex-
posed to the wet, and the result is these
crops are more or less damaged. Some
winter wheat not stacked or properly
shocked up has grown, although it is
generally conceded that the amount thus
injured is small in proportion to tie
whole crop. By far the larger proper
ton of the barley crop of course is color
ed depreciating the grain greatly in price.
Rye pretty generally escaped damage.
Many fields of heavy oats have been laid
low by the wind and wet, making it
difficult work to harvest them, but it is
expected the yield will be one of the
largest ever known hereabouts. Not
much of the spring wheat is lodged,
the pieces not being very heavy and we
understand the outlook for the crop is
fair, although there is an occasional field
damaged by rust. The rain proved OF
great benefit to corn and the gain thus
made will partially, at least, make up for
the damage done grain. Grass and po-
tatoes were likewise greatly improved by
the rain

The observatory building in course of
erection at Oak Hill Cemetery, our beau
tiful Getty of the dead" is nearly COM
pleted and when finished will be fine
ornament to the grounds. The lower
part will be fitted up as a place of retreat
from rain and storm, and over this are two
open spaces, one above the other, where
persons can sit and enjoy a view of the
city and surrounding country. Still
higher up is the observatory proper,
where the eye can take sweep of vast
extent of country combining at glance
a larger area than from any other point
in the city. The scene presented just
at this time is lovely one, the ripening
harvest fields mingling in beautiful har-
imony with the green pasture lands and
timber. The Oak Hill Cemetery Asso-
citation are doing fine work this season
in way of improving the grounds, and
are deserving of a great deal of credit for
the excellent taste and judgment dis
played in adding to the attractions of the
splendid piece of land under their charge.

Christianity Without Christ.

The name of Jesus has touched the
tenderest and deepest chords of mans
heart. So vital is Christ in Christian
experience, that many are withheld from
speculatlng upon his nature by the un-
SPeakable depth and tenderness of their
love Tor him" These sentences from
that gifted thinker, the late Professor
Henry B. Smith, set forth very distinctly
what he considered the essential thing IN
vital Christianity. They are all the
more impressive too, because thew were
the public and well-considered utterances
OF one, who, reared in a commnnitv
where low views of Christ prevailed had
IN early life been greatly troubled with
Unitarian difficulties, from which he
emerged after severe conflicts, into the
clear light OF gospel truth. Even after.
Christ became the great central sun Of
MS theology, and the soul-satisfying OBJ
Ject OF his living experience. It IS re-
corded by his biographer, that the last
sermon ne ever preached, like the first
was on the great theme of his life
Christ. He held that our whole Chris.
uan faith lies or dies with the doctrine
OF an incarnate Redeemer and the
longer he held it, even to the end Of life
the more precious it became to him
With what impressive energy does he
sum up his whole creed in one sentence
Jesus Christ is the centre of Gods re-
yelation and of mans redemption; Of
Christian doctrine and Of Christian his
tory OF conflicting sects and Of each be-
lever ii: faith; yea, of the very history Of
this our earth, Jesus Christ Is the fnll
the radiant, the only centre, fitted TO be-
such because he is the Goldman and the
Redeemer, Christ Christ. He is the
centre Of the Christian system and the
doctrine respecting Christ is the heart Of
Christian theology" "
If this be 50, what must we think Of
those systems Of religious teaching and
those phases Of so-called Christian eT.
periience which exclude, or ignore or re-
pudiate Christ? Can anything be more

Criticism of Public Men

We are so accustomed to stories of evil
doing, as related of public men, that we
grow to think of them as painless trouble,
to which the subjects pay but little at,
tentlon. In this, perhaps, we do them
an injustice. Some of them are able to
pear any amount of calumny and go on
moved. With others it is different, The
case case OF Mr. Greeley was an extreme one,
but his death as the result of political
yltuperation and ridicule, was a lesson
That should not be forgotten through the
lapse OF years. 1t is said of distin
gushed man now in the public service,
that repeated attacks upon his integrity
have seriously affected his health and
hurried on in his countenance the signs of
age, O9twardly-in his personal 6eha
ylour-there is nothing to show that he
teit the scurrilities, but preying all the
while within him was the grief that
shows itself in his wasting strength

pain that the thoughtless or malignant

Preaching the Cross.

In sermon preached before the Synod
of Hamilton and London, Canada, Rev.
John Thompson, of Sarnia, said:
Many regard the preaching Of the
Cross as mere discussion of abstract
principles, the elucidation of theological
dogma, the Underlying of cid fossils of a
past age-rnere speculative opinions of
religious thought, with no direct bearing
on any human interest, real or supposed.
But it is to bring the gospel to bear on
man IN all the trying circumstances and
experiences of everyday life; guiding the
erring, directing the anxious, comforting
the Borrowing, speaking rich, warm
words to thaw out the winter from many
frozen heart, and preparing the soil for
seed sowing, preaching glad tidings, and
bringing summer a 1 sunshine into
many home long darkened. Surely
this is employment fit for angels, and
yet it is man who is called to be CO.
worker with Christ in retaining a lost
world. The preaching of the Cross is
the lifting up of the Son of man as the
slain Lamb of Gods providing, through
whose blood redemption is granted. 1t
proclalms him physician for the world S
malady, balm for its wound, shelter
from It's storms, a great light in this
worlds darkness. 1t is to proclaim Jesus
as the only Mediator-the way, the
truth, the life. 1t sets him forth as a
Prince and Saviour, and points the
weary and heavy laden to him for rest.
We preach Christ crucifed; we glory
IN the Cross But who is Christ? He
is the eternal Son Of God, Jehovah-J esus,
the Saviour of the world the brightness
of the Fathers glory; the King and
Head of the Church. We preach Christ
Jesus the Lord, whose rule covers all
human interests, and whose authority
touches all human duty. When his
kingdom comes, his influence must sane
tify and ennoble all activities, and cover
with the sacredness of his presence
wherever men live, and toll, and suffer,
and die. Could we but make men feel
and acknowledge his authority as Lord
of the conscience, and his sacredness as
priest, and bow in loving obedience to
his righteous law, we would then have
gained all for which the ministry exists :;
for our aim is to have Christ acknowl-
edged as ruler of the life"

The Language in India.

The number Of spoken languages in
India is said to be 243, and including
dialects $40. TRANSACTIONS of the Bible
or part of it, exist in about seventy or
eighty of these languages and dialects,
but those who have a Christian Itera.
ture are much fewer. Some half a
dozen of the leading tongues-Urdu,
Hindee, Bengal, Mahrati, Tamil, and
Telugu-possess number OF Christian
volumes of all sorts, the result of half a
century or more of labor, but the rest
are very destitute, and most formidable
undertaking it will be to make them
anything else. The English language
ought to be simplifed and then made the
one medium of communication in all the
East. The rapidity with which its use
is growing in India under the present
system of education in that tongue in
both Government and mission schools is
almost startling. In the last twenty
two years the Madras University alone
has examined about $4,000 candidates
for the naturalization examination, all of
them possessing fair knowledge of
English. AS many as eight thousand or
ten thousand candidates go up now an
nually for this examination in three
great universities OF India, and English
is the chief language used This stream
OF influence year by year is telling very
strongly upon the country, more so than
many suspect. The Indian Migror. a
native paper, said the other day: "F or
elgners can hardly realize the extent to
which the English language is spoken
and written by the educated classes in
India, almost superseding in some in
stances the use of the vernaculars.
When educated Hindoos meet they talk
English; when they write letters to each
other, they show a decided preference
for the English"
