His Announcement 10 His Congregation
that IIo Intends Visiting Cleveland.
At the close of his morning sermon Mt tho
Congregational church yesterday Rev. DIR. j.
L. Rankin announced to his congregation
that he had received u formal call from the
Euclid Avente church, of Cleveland, Ohio,
and hat in order to decide upon the question
of remaining here with his present charge or
accepting the offer thus made it would be
necessary for him to visit Cleveland and look
over the field, which he intended doing
this week. He felt this course but just to
himself and courteous to the people Oh
Cleveland. The immense congregation was
greatly moved Mt the possibility of losing
their pastor, and Hon. Charles Beardsloy,
president of the society, assembled the plat
FORM and, after few remarks, in which the
| ability of DR.. Rankin and the tender rela'
| tions which had existed between him and his
| congregations said that he believed that the
vast assembly present wanted to say to Dr.
| Rankin, DO not leave us" Ho then asked
for rising vote when nearly the whole con-
grcgation, great and small, strangers az wen
! as residents, rose to their feet. DIR. Rankin
was visibly affected by this demonstration.

last evening.

without going to Cleveland at all; but that

with tho courtesy that they merited. In

SERMON BY REV. DIR. BAER Al THE METRO
POLGTAN NJ i. CHURCH.
A largo congregation was present at tho
METROPOLITAN NJ. T.. church yesterday morn
ing, who listened uttcntively to m interesting
sermon from tho pastor, Rev DIR. Baor, who
took his text from the thirty to the thirty
seventh verses of the twelfth chapter Of Luke
LET your loins be girded about and your
lights burning, and ye yourselves like unto
men that wait for their lord when he shall
return from the wedding; that when he
comcth and knocllcth they may open
unto him Immediately. Blessed are those
cometh. shall find watching. Verify
| say unto you that he shall gird himself,
and make them TO sit down to meat, and
will come forth and serve them" The reverend
SPEAKER said Christ is the representative
mam--reprcscntative of man and also of God,
having possessed the perfect natures of both
alike, As man he was the only perfect
representative and being that ever dwelt upOn
the earth. As God he possessed every attri-
buto of the great God, the universal Deity.
One of the lessons taught inthese words is
that we are required to submit our wills to
the will of God II perfect submission of man to
the claims of God in order to gain salvation on
mans part. / live, yet not |, but Christ Who
liveth in me, Who died for me, and gave Him.
htll lOI nv
A submission to Christ in the proper sense
of the word, carries with it performance as
best we may Of all that Christ requires at
our hands. Without the first none of the
rest will ever take place in an acceptable
manner All our outward services will be hut
empty show, as sounding brass and tinl-
| ling cymbol." Mans christian life will be
| strong only in proportion as he is guided with
divine truth both in the inner and the out,
| ward man.
Man is always in the line of duty, not in acts
merely, but in mind and spirit, ready and
watching for the return and calls Of the
| Divine Master. 1t is the Divine Master who
| here speaks to us, and what gracious prom
Use does He here make to US, If faithful tc
Him and TO His cause He will in due time
come forth aud Himself serve them What
precious enjoyment there Is in Il consciousness,
of the divine favor and blessing.
Man is not called upon or required TO serve
God for naught. He pays richly for q that

IT'S ILLUSTRATION By REV. DR. DoMER AT ST.

Rev. DR.. Domer preached to very large
congregation at st. Pauls English Lutheran
church, corner Eleventh and II streets north
west, yesterday morning from the text: Prov,
iv, 1s: "But the path Of the just is as the
shining light that shineth more and more
unto the perfect day He said The wisdom
of solomon is manifest in his sayings. Chris
tianity is the science of II true manhood, and
tho royal character which solomon sketches
in tho text is simply the truth of God, tho
gospel Of Christ, concretcd in transformed and

The Poorhousc Vegetables.


The article in Saturdays issue Of THE RE-
PUBLICAN signed "a Friend to the Inmates"
and rejecting upon the management of tho
Washington asylum, is calculated to mislead
those not aware of the facts. without dis
cussing the reliability of the statement that
the inmates got vegetables but three times
from. Christmas to June /, it is sufficient to
say that the investigation of which your cor
respondent writes was held long prior to the
time when the asylum was committed to my
charge and the imputation does not justly ap-
ply to the conduct of the institution by the
present management at least. The inmates
have vegetable dinners three times week,
and vegetable soup forms part of the dinner Of
the four remaining days. The last season
was exceptionally flvorabl, to the growth of
vegetables, and large portion Of the grounds,
including part of the old magazine property
having been put under good cultivation, "a guam
tity of cabbages, beets, carrots, SC, were grown
much in excess of the needs of the institution.
The commissioners, upon bcingappriscd OF the
fact, directed that the surplus be sold, rs tho
most expedient way Of disposing of it. 1t is
not found profitable to cultivate potatoes and
that vegetable is purchased, the cost of which
is more than met by the sales of the surplus
articles. w. ii. SToUTENBURGH,

/ am n messenger-that is, they call me u

in my oilice--the other six of us draw the pay
of laborers, but we are c2l led messengers Tor

tell me is why should be made to work more
than ten hours a day, when the law says
eight shall constitute a days work for all la
borers, worlSmen, and mechanics who may be
employed by or on behalf of the government
of the United States. / saw the law
myself in the Revised Statutes; It is section
373s, and on page 737. Now, Mr.. Editor, if
the clerks get here at $50 o'clock must got
here at 1880, and if they stay till 1870 o'clock
j must stay till $50 o'clock, which is ten
hours sure, and not according to the law.
Members of congress sleep till $50 o'clock,
and often longer, / don't see that it is
right for me to have TO get up and get my
breakfast and hurry down to the depart
ment ut $50 o'clock, and go without my

nice time that they can and do sleep till most

Ing for job.
DON'T LIKE 1T.
To Mc E,iiiOr.

TO Mc EiRor.
Is IL possible that congressman have given
thought to the clause in the legislative bill
that fixes department hours from $3.50 q. m.
to $50 p. M? Have they reflected that IL this
becomes a law no discretion is left with the
heads of departments, and that this term Of
hours must be adhered to through the long
and weary heat of the summer, no matter
what may be the result upon the general
health? Has it been made apparent to them
that such law would change the household
arrangements and effect the business of an
the business is done between the
hours of closing the offices and dark ?
DO they know that it will levy upon the
government clerk direct tax that will be
collected by the keepers of restaurants and
eating houses near the Department. For no
legislation can make IL possible Tor even
government clerk to live without eating.
Even prison convicts are not compelled to
labor eight hours without food. And the dis
tances from the departments TO their homes
would preclude the possibility of their going
there for the midday meal that will be a ne
cessity if they are to work till o'clock.
Have they any valid reason for desiring
governments clerks to labor more hours than
bank clerks, lawyers clerks, and others who
do similar work? Are they unaware that
clerical work of the lowest grade is more wear
ing than manual labor and that u confinement
of eight hours, winter and summer, SIN days
each week. in an Office is not only injudicous
as regards health, but must inevitably lessen
the ability to perform the required work
If the heads of the various departments favor
such II law, from which, of course, they them
selves are exempt, there is no help for tho
clerk nor for the larger mass of people towhom
the law will work hardship.
1t is no time for clerks to gather in indig-
nant groups and make their impotcnt pro-
tests to each other. They should take good
care that their own congressman is made
fully aware of what this addition to depart
ment hours by act of congress means to the
clerk in summer, to the families, and to tho
entire community.
1t may be novel idea to them that they
are, by such n rate, TO change not only the
hours of labor in government departments,
but in every private family, boarding house,
eating saloon, or hotel in the city; to add to
the hours of servants work, and overthrow
the customs of population numbering 10000
people. "%%
