A Vigorous blow at Present
Methods of "TakIng up Col
IectiOns."

Says the Chicago Conssrvato-:
The colored Press has one duty which ii
caunot Justly put aside, to the serious mis-
fortune of our people. We are too prone
to applaud our good deeds and excuse OF
close cur eyes to our bad ones. Now anc
then we grow fearless IL our attacks of er
rors in politics, in business and social at
fairs We rarely assail the errors whlcl
stalk defiantly in the colored church. WI
desire to call the attention Of our confrere'
to one crowning evil OF our church af1airl
the manner of taking up collections
The almost universal habit of oar churches
is TO spend about twenty minutes OF each
service in species OF disgusting, back
woods promenading, trying to collect ie"
dollars that ought to be contributed silent
ly in three minutes, No matter how hnt
the service is or how solemn the service
the whole effect is soon lost in the great
begging and promenading act which nexi
follows One OF The dcacons or trustees
then goes to the front, and with long face
and patLetic voice, tells the dear brothers
ana sisters that the coal is out, that the
gas bill is due, and the minister wants d
little money. Every service it is the same
old story. Iegular beggars plea for few
dollars. Then some brother is asked &c
lead lively hymn. He starts Il tune about
as close to waltz or polka time as posi-
bl,.; and then the promenading begins
The old people g up to encourage the
young ones, the young women 60 up tc
up to 'mash' the girls, SO that the dis
gustiHg sceLe does more harm In one Sun
day than the minister can reetity IN hal
dozen. The habit is a relict of barbarism
is disgrace to our churches, and stand
ing impeachment of our claim to progress
The intelligent element of our people
must take the matter in hand. Our minis
ters, many of whom recognize and decry
the evil, must inaugurate system Of fl
nauces lnsl efiHCeo ouhlon SoAoo anu Pio
nrietv and abolish this circuslike perform
ance in the solemn service of the sanctuary
The press must educate the people and
help to encourage the minister in this
needed reform, and our church people
must recognize that progress is the watch
word of the day, and that the church OF
God should lead in every good effort to
elevate our race to the rigid requirements
of the age.

The Philosophers Advice.

n Merchant who found that Ia
must either increase his sales or clc-e
his doors and beat his Creditors,
hunted up Philosopher and asked
him what course he should Pursue.
Have you lived long in the TOWN. p
asked the old man.

"And you know everybody"
"Every man, woman and child"
"Are the people all at peace with
each other?"
"They are, oh wise man. There
has not been a word between families
for years"
"Then you must return home and
slyly provoke quarrels and hard feel
ings. Do as say and your trade will
increase four-fold."
The Merchant wonderinglJ obeyed
the injunction. and in week there
were scarcely two families in the
Town on speaking terms. Mrs. A.
gave card party and did no. nvits
that stub-nosed Mrs. B., and Mrs. Br
gave q coffee and left Mrs A. todrins
cold tea at home along with her mon,
key-faced daughter. Mrs. q. suddenly
ceased to loan to Mrs, d., and Mrs. ID.
discovered that Mrs. e. was wearing
dresses sent by rich sister in Boston.
The result was as the Philosopher
had predicted. There was sudden
demand upon the merchants stock for
coifee-mills, flat-irons, futers, axes,
shovels, groceries and other things
and one woman ordered set of cur s
and saucers, an eight-day clock and
$40 worth of knives and spoons with
the explanation:
"Being that one Of my neighbors
has started the story that / had to hire
my husband TO marry me, and the
other has asirmed that VIC areso Stingy
that VIC starve dog to death every
six months, l will now show my inde-
pendence by neither borrowing nor
lending. You may also send me some
uuilt-frames, new teapot. two stove
kettles, a steamer, a dozen fruit jars
and dishpan."
Then the Merchant had to hire two
extra clerks, build an addition and
speculate in mining stocks to get rid
of some of his money, and drummers
trav eled hundreds of miles to see him,
and the Commercial Agencies rated
him good for million
