The Household Department.

In considering the needs of the
Household we honestly think that our
talks should nc: be co fined to the
kitchen, OF the dairy, but should take IN
any and every subject which relates to
home life, home duties, and home hap
pines.. Though it is essentially a
woman's departm, mt, yet If any mem.
Der of,he opposite sex feels in his in
most soul that he has a call to add to
to our columns anything that will
throw light on the subjects under con-
sideration. we bid him and his manu-
script a cordial welcome.
I'm a multitude of counsellors there
is wisdom" For this reason we invite
communications from our readers /; let
them be shor. and TO the point. There
are none possessed of so little know
edge or experience, but that they are
competent to offer some thought which
may be of benefit to others; and by
our united efforts we may be of great
good to the world. Instead OF "mu-
.ual admiration society,"" let US all
unite to form Help Each Other So
cie;y," On. F O. 81 to the end that all
women may become better mothers,
wives and housekeepers; all girls better
daughters, sisters and friends; all boys
better sons and brothers: all men bet

with whom we may chance to associ-

as well as means of cultivating a
taste for the study of natural history.

THE RIGHTS OF LABOR

We have little sympathy with any.
thing that tends TO array class against
class. There is, we are aware, grow
ing antagonism of this sort, not only in
Europe, but also in this country. We
hear much about the great conflict which
impends on both continents between cap
ltal and labor. The efforts of all good
citizens should be to harmonise these an
tagonising elements. There are dangers
In both directions. And there are rights
on both sides.
There is one point on which there is a
clear right on the side of labor: this is
the right of the poor man to one day OF
rest In every seven. For this we will
ever contend. God has not only given
this right to the laborer, but he has i'm
posed it upon his conscience as duty.
Humanity also, as well as the interests OF
society, demand that this claim should
be respected.
We are led to these remarks by the
recent unusual occurrences among the
employees of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad. We publish elsewhere an ar
ticle on the subject from the CtarlotteS-
nile Chronicle. The men on this road
have struck, as a newspaper correspon-
dent remarks, not for higher wages, "but
for Sunday" We bid them, God speed
There are thousands of Christian men
and women all over the land who will
stand at their backs, and join in their de-
mand for Day of Rest.
We are not contending now for any
observance of the Sabbath on religious
grounds; we are only contending for a
cessation of work on that day, in order
that those who toll all the week NAV re-
fresh themselves for the labors that must
fill up the succeeding week. Uninter-
mitted toil-all the year through-day
after day-and never moment to rest
the weary limbs; even the beasts need
periodical repose.

Mr.. Won sohluembaok in Berlin

The Deutsches TagebIaH, Berlin daily. has
the following notice of an esteemed brother.
Mr.. Won Schluembachs meetings in that CITY in
its issue of the 25th ult. The notice is headed
Wonderful Phenomena in Ecclesiastical Meet
ings:-
we attended yesterday religious GATHERING
at which Mr.. Won Schluemback from Amerio
ca, gave an address as riveting az it was solid
and with edifying effect. He sang solo suit
able to the subject he was handling, the audience
joining in the chorus. We think it remarkable
that no notice of these gatherings has been
taken by the ecclesiastical newspapers of our
town, although the meetings have been held for
two months, five evenings a week in the
Nazareth Church. AT first they were attended
by about 200 and now by about 800 persons of
every age, of good family and rank, but especial
ly by working-men from every part of the
town. We are reminded of the words of Scrip-
ture, To the poor the Gospel is preached.
But why do the ecclesiastical newspapers
take no notice of such an occurrence Thew
give us often enough long reports about other
and far more trivial things. If scholar for
two months gave lectures every evening with
an ever-increasing concourse Of people, all the
papers would be full Of it, If any dramatic
celebrity for eight weeks made full house the
whole Of Berlin would know of it, But these
phenomena, which bear testimony to the gratify-
ing fact that the interest Of the poorest stratum
OF our population in religious discourses is in
creasing, are simply passed over with complete
silence Whatever course other papers may
take, we think the Dcptscbes Tdge5laH will be
considering the interests Of its readers when
from time to time it gives reports of Mr.. Won
Schuembachs meetings, when he begins again
in the large lions Church Of which Dr. KRAFT is
the pastor, on January g."
We trust this is the dawn Of better things for
the Gospel in Berlin-the cloud preceding the
abundance Of rain, so much needed in this mil
lion-peopled city, given up TO the worship of
intellect and pleasure London Christian

FATHER RYAN, the Southern poet
priest, Of, the Roman Catholic Church,
who has been invited by the literary So
cieties of The University of Virginia to
address them in June next, is well known
to our readers. He delivered lecture
recently in Boston of notable charac-
ter on The Decline in the Political and
Material Order OF Catholic Nations" A
Roman Catholic paper of New Orleans
criticised him and took him to task for
intimating that "the Church" was de-
clining. Father Ryan defends himself
as follows:
To the nameless writer say that did not
consult a single Protestant author. Nv author
tiles are Cardinals Manning and Newman, Mo
selgneur Mermillod and especially a very re-
markable work in French, written years ago by
Able Martin, very distinguished priest. on
The Future of Catholicity and Professionalism, ,
and especially praised by Monseigneur Mermii-
lod, which work / am myself translatIng into
English. The decline of any Catholic nation,
or all OF them In the politico-material order, by
no means indicates the spiritual decline of the
Church. Only stupid mind confounds two
things eternally separate. That the material
and political power of the Catholic Church has
been declining for long time, is evident to any
one who is not too blind to see facts or too dull
to realise them. But this does not mean the
spiritual decline Of the Catholic Church"
So our Roman Catholic friends, in
this their estate of decadence, will
console themselves with the spiritual
progress they are making. That is good.
In Spain and Brazil, for example.

The last number of the Cincinnati
Herald and Presbyter says on this same
subject noticed above:
We have looked DR.. Johnsons article over
and over, and we may say what we knoto to be
true, viz: that DIR. Johnson tried to show that
our action at Springfield was precisely what
the Baltimore platform asked for, which it was
thought would be Satisfactory that, in so doing,
he raised no cry of rebel" against the Southern
Church. though obliged to use the words re-
bellion or dsloyalty in speaking of that part of
our action that we were not prepared to with
draw; that our action swept away all charges,
direct and indirect, against the Southern Church,
whether outside our political action or inside ;
and that he tried to avoid everything that mi ght
be regarded as offensive.
Whether Southern Presbyterians can see all
this in his article or not is for them to say. If
they cannot, it is probable that he could only
satisfy them by declaring that his preliminary
resolution was intended to modify rather than
to explain the mutGtiS mutdndis action. Our
Judgment is that the case ought to be considered
as closed. 1t is one of great difficulty and deli
cacy. The South must decide upon the record
OF the two assemblies, and not upon what Dr.
johnson or the newspaper writers say.

How to Renew Subscriptions.

Any old subscriber who will, with his
subscription, send the name of new
subscriber, shall have the paper sent to
the two one year for S5. If he will send
the names of two new subscribers the
paper will be sent to the three for ST.
If he will send the names of three new
subscribers the paper will be sent to the
four for $9 so.
Almost daily we receive letters from
subscribers who express the desire to have
the circulation of the Central Presbyte-
RAN greatly enlarged. These friends
can aid us by availing themselves of the
above offer, which we make as an induce
ment to assist in extending our circula-
ton and as a small remuneration for the
work necessary to accomplish the end.
Quite a number of our subscribers
have already responded to this offer by
sending with their subscriptions the
names of new subscribers. We hope it
will be generally done.

OUR friends in the ministry who wish
to extend our circulation in their congre-
cations are reminded that now is the
time to do it.
Do all ministers recognise the great
Importance of placing Church paper in
the hands of their people? Do they ap.
preciate the influence on the mind Of
keeping posted up with the work of the
Church at home and abroad? Who is it
that gives to foreign missions? 1t is he
who is interested in foreign missions.
And who is interested in foreign mis-
sions? He who reads every week about
the wonderful work that is going on now
throughout the pagan world
1t is by keeping posted with the affairs
of the Church that one becomes interested
in the Church. That is the way to make
a live church member.
And there are many who see this pa
per who rarely hear sermon.

WHAT WILL He Do WITH IT?-With
what? Why, with his money to be sure.
He gave himself to the Lord years ago.
He is not his own; he is bought with a
price. Far more has been paid for him
than he is worth, and now duSing the
past year God has prospered him greatly.
He has more money at the close of the
year than we ever had before. What
1UiU he do qOith IT.? He is a steward of
the Lord. In general way he is will
ing to acknowledge the fact of his stew
ardship. But will he practically recog-
Mise his great responsibility? Will the
Christian people who have greatly pros
pered during the past year ask them
selves how best to make investments so
as to lay up for themselves treasures in
heaven2 1t is great question. The
demand upon the people of God was
never greater. The field for profitable
investment was never wider. The money
was never more plentiful. What will
you do with it?

IN referring to the last words of Gam
beta, Je suis perdu," the Christian In
telJ'gencer, we think, misapprehends the
force of those words to the mind of a
Frenchman, when it interprets them as
meaning that Gambetta was thinking OF
his soul, and the future world. He only
meant to say that his case was hopeless.
This is supported by the words which he
added "mais al tant souffert que ce
sera une d6liverance 60 but 1 have suf-
fered SO much that it death will be a
deliverance."

IT has been published that Mr.. Thomas
E. Sherman son of General Sherman, is
preparing to become Roman Catholic
priest. 1t is added that he will be a
Jesuit. He has distinguished himself by
a recent lecture at the Loyola College,
Baltimore, in which he undertook the
remarkable task of defending the Span
lsh Inquisition. Perhaps we ought not
to condemn him too harshly; his error
was extenuated by the candor which he
exhibited in uttering what great many
other Roman Catholic believe, but would
not openly avow.

WE publish two communications this
week on the subject Of widening the field
of Presbyterian activity-called out by a
recent editorial in this paper. We shall
no doubt receive others, some of which
will be on the other Side-that is, adverse
to the suggestions made by US. We will
just say at the outset, that in publishing
these communications, we do not make
ourselves responsible for the views ex-
pressed by the writer's. There will be
much that we should dissent from. We
publish such communications in order to
get the sense of the Church, and in order
by friendly discussion to get at the truth
and at the best results. Our columns
are open to calm, courteous, brief articles
on either side.

Little by little the work of disintegrating the
