Many families pride themselves on
their noble ancestry; but here, in this
democratic country we do not care so
much about our pedigree as our health;
or, at least, that ought to be the princi-
pal object of our solicitude. We cannot
have good health without pure. rich
blood. When the blood is out of order.
disease manifests itself in the skin and
flesh, and in fact, in all parts of the body.
To be restored to health. take Scovilrs
Sarsaparilla or Blood & Liver Syrup.
Physicians speak in the highes. terms of
this medicine.

THE General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, the highest body of that great conserva-
tive ecclesiastical organization, meets every
year, and is now in session at Saratoga. 1t is
ter of general interest note the election OF DIR.
Edwin f. Hatfield to the moderators chair, after
a continuous service of forty years in the office
of stated clerk. The General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church meets only once in
each four years, and the next session will be in
L. O. Haven and now of Bishop Peck, the ad-
vancing age of Bishop Simpson, and the increas-
ing demands of church work will necesstase
tho election Of three and possibly four new
bishops at the next conference, and already the
canvass of favorlte names has commenced. The
people of Indiana and of this city will be pleased
to know that Rev. Charles N. Sims, chan
oellor OF the University of Syracuse, is ressona-
bly, certain to be promoted 10 the episcopal
bench. for the work of which he is so eminently
fitted. DIR. Newman has placed himself
out OF the category OF likethoods,
while Rev. Dr. Fowler will scarcely be
disturbed in his present position as one Of the
missionary secretaries. The correctional inter-
ests OF the church ara also rapidly increasing,
and an addition to the working force of the
eral societies is not improbable. II assistant
secretaries for either the missionary OF church

most favorably considered. His abilities for

Church. The principle would be the same
were any other church involved The Catho-
lie Church is mighty, ami has done much to
benefit and evangelize the world, and it still
has a great mission to work out. But it is
time that it stepped to a higher plane and
granted its aherents the personal liberty
wrung from other churches and enjoyed by
their members. With the incubus of church
domination removed, the people of Ireland
would be stronger and freer to win success.
The very freedom would give them renewed
courage and determination and, better than
all, would educate them into a higher ability
for self-government.

THE DAY TO REST.

clares that men and women who work early

erned gentleman is right, though his utter
ances may need some little elucdation. 1t
has come to be very generally accepted that
the Sabbath was made for man, and not man
for the Sabbath. 1t is for his enjoyment his
recreation, his rest Just how it shall be
spent would be hard to formulate in one spe-
ciic rule, but that manner is best which,

what was. The world is moving so rapidly
that if one stops long to daily with the
ancients, he will not lie able to overtake it.
When there is time to spare we concede the
great pleasure and satisfaction in delving

ton of the cellege course ought not to be de-
voted to such pursuits. The demands of the
present will not longer permit it.

CAPTAIN PIERCE, New Orleans ship-captain,
thought he would turn an honest penny by re-
covering the cargo of a shipwrecked vessel. He
saved 500 tons of steel rails. took them to Cor
pus Christi and placed them in government
charge until the duties were paid. In the mean
time his crew libeled his vessel, and it was lately
Sold together with the recovered rails, for $3.50.
Out of this the Captain is required to pay the
wages of the sailors, the duties on the iron
amounting to $500, and ST. 800 for storage
charged by the government The worthy man is
trying to figure his profits out, but is of the
opinion that the penny must have turned tho
wrong way.

in method, of sound Judgment, of large informa-
tion, enthusiastic in the benevolent enterprises
OF Methodism and having rare skill and aptitude
in presenting the facts IN a telling way to the
people, Mr.. Beard would be a valuable addition
to this department Of the church. 1t has been
suggested tnat districts may be established,
and district secretaries appointed for
local service upon all the benevolences
OF the church, in which case 1t is quite certain
more effective Work could be accomplished than
by the present centralized system. Another i'm
portant question that will be up for discussion
VIII be the ever-recurrng issue Of a modification
OF the present restrictive pastoral rule, which
prevents preacher from remaining in any one
charge longer than three years. Strong pro-
tests against this iron-cad regulation come up
continually from cities where the present plan Is
thought by some to operate badly, and to Grip
pie the Methodist pulpit in its competition with
other branches Of the church having settled pas
torates. One suggestion Is to abrogate the rule
entirely, leaving the question of the length of
the term to the discretion of the bishop and of
the parties interested, while another plan is to
extend the term to four or five years,
SO that a satisfactory pastorate can
be continued that length of time. The question
is receiving much attention, particularly in the
East, and many columns Of discussion over it
are to be found not only in the religious, but in
the secular press DR.. Fowler, in a recent arti-
Gle, favors a change, while the venerable DR..
Curry as strongly opposes it, on the ground that
1t would practically destroy the itineracy, the
generally confessed strong point in Methodistic
poity. However, like lay delegation, some mod
ihcatiOn is certain whether in the near future or
not, cannot be asserted The religious world, as
well as the social and political, has its periods
of unrest, and the church, In all its branches, is
certainly entering upon such a period now.
Both methods and doctrines are being overhaul
ed, and the tendency In all the proposed changes
is toward greater ease and popularization. 1t is
the era of the people as against the distinctive
ecoleaiastio.

A priestly scandal is rife in Munich.
A short time ago the Lady Superior of a
convent was dying, and it was discovered
that for twenty-five years she had con-
cealed her llegitimate daughter in her
apartments. The girl, though she had
been well supplied with nourishment,
was in most pitiable condition and
could neither speak nor understand. Al.
though the wretched mother was Of good
birth and had many wealthy relatives,
none of them would undertake the charge
of her offspring, so the convent authori'
ties have taken over the responsibility,
although all their efforts to keep the
scandal secret have proved unavailing.
