PAIL, AND BARNABAS,

On one occasion Paul and Barnabas had a
serious difficulty. While at Antioch, Paul
proposed to Barnabas that they visit the
different cities in which they had preached.
TO this Barnabasassented. ~ disagreement,
however, sprung up as to who should ac-
company them. Barnabas determined to
take with them John, whose surname was
Mark. Paul thought it was not proper to
take John with them, because he had left
them at Pamphylia. The contention was
sharp. Both became angry and said hard
things. More than this, they separated.
Some commentators attempt to explain
this affair so as to exculpate both Paul and
Barnabas. This they fail to do to, the salts
faction of every one. No doubt both were
to be blamed. How could this be? Were
not both Paul and Barnabas inspired apOs-
ties, and if so how could it be that they be-
came involved in a sharp contention and
separated? There is really no difficulty
about the affair. No conflict between what
is here stated in the Scriptures and anything
elsewhere stated. Paul and Barnabas were
only men, and like other men, they some some
times, no doubt, often sinned. They were
not at all times so guided by the Holy Spir-
it as to prevent them from acting and speak
ing unadvisedly. They were not always in
that particular state or condition which we
call inspired. This never was claimed tor
any of the prophets or apostles. When un-
der the influence Of the Holy Spirit they, ats
the mouth-piece of the Spirit, uttered only
the truth, but at other times they were only
good men. One of the peculiarities of the
Bible is that the sins and faults of those en1-
inent servants of God are not concealed.
Painful revelations are often made. Moses
and David and Paul are exposed to human
gaze, as men of like passions with the rest
of the human family. Like the rest OF us
they were sinners by nature and sinners h1y
practice, and all the goodness that was IN

IT Took HIS HEAD OFF.-"1t was aW-

just as a group of ladies were passing down
the platform. .,
"What was that which was SO aWful?"
Has anybody been killed? Has there been
a terrible catastrophe? What did they do
with the wounded? When did the collis-
ion take place."
Such were a few Of the questions that as
sailed the youth.
'"Twan't no collision, ladies; but it was
awful all the same"
"What was it? Don't keep US in sus-
pense."
"Well, you see, ladies, a gentleman was
standing right here on the platform, and
lust as the train started, he gave jump"
"And was crushed beneath the wheels,
and his mangled corpse was streWn for miles
along the track"
"Not exactly, marin, but the train took
his head right off," .,
Instantly the air resounded with cries OF
horror from the feminine group. When the
boy could make himself heard, he remark
ed:
ssI don't see anything horrible about it,
ladies. The train took the mans body OIL
too. But he came aWfully near being lett
AS the ladies turned to move on, the
words "disgusting little creature" were
borne upon the air, mingled with low
chuckle from the train-boy's svicinity.-Bos-

RELIGION.

The authorities do not agree as to the ety.
mological derivation of the word religion.
The import of the word, however, is not
doubtful. According to Webster, it means
"the recognition Of God as an object Of wor"
ship, love and obedience" With all proper
RESPECT for the memory of Noah Webster, il
may be remarked that thisdefnition is par
ticular and not general. Religion is the re-.
cognition of Supreme being asan object OF
worship, love and obedience. The human
family generally, if not universally, single
out some being, either real or imaginary,
which they regard as Supreme, and which
they regard as q proper object of worship:
This being, they, in some sense, love and
obey. TO this being theyare devoted, hence
they are devout worshipers. True religion
somewhat changed, to be the recognition of
God as the only proper object Of worship,
and the only being in the universe entitled
to the supreme love of his intelligent crea-
lures, and to whom they owe absolute ODE
dience Practical religion consists in obey
ing the voice of God. The incentive to this
obedience is love. Theoretically, true re-
ligion is the recognizing of God as the only
proper object of worship, or as the only
being to whom absolute obedience is due.
In religion, as in many other things, we
may have theory without q corresponding
practice. The heather have q correct theo-
ry of religion, and generally their practice
is in conformity with their theory, but they
living and true God. They cannot be char
ged with being irreligious, either in theory
or practice. In fact, they are exceedingly
religious, but the object of their worship is
not the proper object Of worship.
T., ;cta tbora ic a Ct Cto tn Of
things. 1t is generally believed that all
men worship some god. This is the theory
commonly promulgated. Is it correct ?
Does every one in ChristendOm worship
some thing which is recognized as a proper
object of worship? In theory it will be ad-
mitted that all recognize the existence of a
Supreme bding. There are no theoretical
atheists, but are there no practical atheists: !:
Let us examine the definition Of religion.
1t is a recognition of God as the only proper
object of worship. Now do we in the pub
lie and private acts which we perform under
the name of religion, at all times recognize
the fact that we are worshiping God? Is it
not fact that of the vast multitude Of form
al worshipers, only a few are real worship
ers? What religion, it may be asked, is
there in much that goes by that name
We atten(echurch on Sabbath, go through
the forms of worship, but the idea that we
are wOrshiping God never enters our minds
What recognition of God is there in this ?
None atall We may call it what weplease,
but it is not practical religion. Let any one
ask himself the question, GLOW much Of all
that do under the form of religion is for
the glory of Goo? ?" and if honest, he will
be astonished at his own answer. Much
that bears the name of religious worship is
nothing but the veriest mockery.

HOME TRAINING,

This is an age noted for it's seminaries OF
learning. Schools and colleges have multi
piled until they have become part of near
ly every community. This is all well
enough. 1t is as it ought to be, but the
home-training of children is generally, and
to a fearful extent, neglected. This is as it
oughtnot to be. Parents generally are hand
ing their children over to Sabbath-schools,
that they may be religiously trained, and
entrusting their mental and social training
to the schools and colleges of the country.
The majority of parents pay no sort of at
tention to the religious education of their
children. The result is, that the boys and
girls of the country are growing up without
any knowledge of the primary principles Of
the Christian religion. Only a boy and girl
here and there, the son or daughter of some
old-fashioned parents, is taught the ten COM
mandments. Children are permitted to
grow up in ignorance of those laws from
which all good law and equity and orderare
derived.
The shifting of parental responsibility to
the Sabbath-school, or to any other institu-
ton, isa dangerous undertaking. Its effects
must be seen and felt in a short time, and
they must, of necessity, be bad. The found
alton of all good civil government is laid in
the family. The character Of the population
of country must be what the families COM
posing the population are. If the majority
of the families of any country are Ignorant
and vicious the majority of the population
of that country are ignorant and vicious.
The neglect of proper family training not
| l. oln n
nifty in social and civil point Of view, but
it is prolific source ofimmorality and vice.
The family is the nursery of the visible
Church. 1t is in the family that children
are trained for serving God in this world,
and for enjoying him in the world to come.
1t is true that parents cannot give their Off
spring new hearts, they cannot give them
grace. 1t is just as true that when parents
neglect the moral training of their children
they rarely make eminently godly men and
women. On the contrary, they generally
pertains to godliness. TO this, there are eX-
ceptions, Just as there are exceptions to all
general rules. 1t sometimes happens that
the fields of the sluggard yield bountiful
harvest, but usually it is the hand of the
diligent that maketh rich. 1t would be
very dificultto point out a plan which would
be more likely to secure success to parents
desiring to bring disgrace upon themselves
and offspring, than the neglect of family
government. Other plans may entail ruin
upon household, this is certain to succeed.
Socially, there is nothing more disgusting
than a family of ill-bred children. The
fault generally lies in parents neglecting to
discharge their duty. Such children grow
up to be rude and impudent. They have no
respect for their parents, and consequently,
no respect for themselves. Such being the
case, they are, to all intents and purposes,
worthless to both Church and State.

WHY He Had NEVER SEEN THE KING.
In Bavaria, says the Philadelphia Press, it
is illegal to criticise, even in Il friendly spir-
it, the actions of the king. Soon after the
termination Of the FrancO-German war, a
story was told Of a meeting in the streets of
Munich between the king Of Bavaria and a
wounded soldier, during which the king,
finding that he was not recognized, express
ed his surprise. "How could I know your
majesty 20 said the soldier, in explanation.
you never go to the army, and i never go
to the play" To the publication of this an
ecdote may probably be attributed the de-
termination made by the king not to toler-
ate remarks of any kind on his private
movements.

toms dissent. It so happens in this
case that the brains of the court are in
the negative, as any one can see by
reading the two opinions. While the
majority opinion is widely dlscursiye
and strained illogical COLLATION. Of sen.
tences, Judge Edgerton plants his judg-
ment squarely on the law and the legis.

quite unnecessary for him to ramble
away and befog the mind with an
argument on implication or to ran
sack all legislative actions to enquire if
perhaps there may not be case in some
respects similar at some time or other.
His conclusion that the act of congress
imposes an act tofindividual and conioint

which it can not delegate or evade, is
immutable. 1t will defy all the fusilade
OF capital commission shysters and
political pettifoggers. Whenever the
supreme court of the United States gets
chance to glance at the two opinions,
1t will not need to write an opinion or
even consult. All that 1T will be neces.
sary for that body to say is: It seems to
us incomprehensible how any difference
of opinion could have arisen on the
principles laid dewn by Judge Edgerton.
Judgment reversed and the original
order of Judge Edgerton ratified and
confirmed per curtain. That is all.
