A Sermon on Malt.

One evening in England, a century
ago, a small party Of rollicking youths
caught a clergyman on his way home
from a visit to the sick, and forcing in
to the stump Of a hollow tree, refused
to let him go until he had preached a
sermon from a text they would give
him.
The reverend gentleman finally CON
scented, and they gave him the word,
Malt, upon which he delivered himself
as follows:
Beloved, let me raw your attention,

warning, to preach a brief sermon from
a small text to a thin congregation in

Compromise Cars.


a freight train is coming. Notice
the cars now, as they roll iangling loose
~ by. Every few seconds one passes
with the word compromise painted
in white letters upon it.
1t is always more convenient. some
tlmes 1T is actually necessary, that
through freights should go over all the
roads between its starting point and
destination without unloading, break
Ing bulk, the railroad men term it.. It
is the work of these compromise cars
TO carry such freight. 1t is their bust
ness to be useful on other tracks AS well
as their own.
So, all along the way of life switches
are placed where other tracks cross
mine.
Here comes a friend, rolling down to
n OF these crossings. He is loaded
with troubles, and every one of them
feels heavier to him than a bar of rail
road iron.
Every ounce of his freight is conslgn-
ed to some station of life further IN.
Yet the man invariably stops at nv
crossing. He never regards the profit
that would accrue to him by carving
his own freight through. He never
stops to consider that he carries by the
pound, and the nearer he can carry I'D
to his capacity, the better it will pay in
the end. He never questions whether
trials and cares peculiarly my own are,
or are not, already quite as many and
as heavy as | can bear.
Along becomes, with heightened Wis
age and chin hanging almost low
enough for his toes to stub it, and there.
at my track he dumps his cart. His ac-
tions say plain as words:
There, take my load and carry it. or
it may lie there. won'tmove another
peg with it."
The white letters "compromise" have
never been written on my friends car.
He doesn't mean to weigh me down.
But he takes the command, "Bear We
one another's burdens to mean:
"Bear We Myburdens, but don't expect
me to touch yours"
And he comes down on HE in lust
that shape every day or two.
He is no respecter Of times or places.
If l even hint that | believe my roll
ing stock to be quite as heavily bur
dened as his, hu stands ready to doubt
my sanity.
II | say to him that. ordinarily, he
ought to be able NOT only to carry his
own freight, but to, loan a little help to
some over--burdened neighbor OCCASION
ally, he is ready to sink in despair IN
der the awful weight l am placing up-
on him.
Reproach him, and he lies right down
on me.
Undertake to carry his load for him
every time he brings it, and it is like
feeding house flies, He goes away hap
Ply and contenCed enough, but he brings
adoZen-fold equally troubled and troub-
lesome when he comes again.
Lord help me! I don't want to be
wicked, but ! have already come to a
point where | had rather see the very
worst kind OF Il nightmare coming.
Great, stout, t~Wo-hundred pound fell
lows, many OF these burdens are-able
to- shouldcr their barrel OF -four and
walk off with it: and yet, under lifes
trials they have no more backbone than
4 pumpkin vine.
Can any one inform me how to aid
such, and still avoid being crushed into
a premature gravesby them?
A BIG EIRM DISSOLVED
Phil Armour and John Plankinton Dis
Morning journal and courier., 1884-03-03

your correspondent implies, then the wisesl course would be to have church services con sisk wholly of sacred music So that his ar gument pEoves too much. Paul sang praises when in prison bleeding from stripes Il was wonderful under the circumstances Nevertheless it required much higher facul- ties in Paul to reason for days in succession from the Old Testament. To address the &C., complained Athenians on Mars Hill and on another occasion make King Agrippa tremblo on his throne. To compare sacred music with all this is like comparing the ex- plosion of 8 boys cannon to the thunderbolt that shakes the world. The singer, however sweet and sonorous, is only heard by few thousand. The eloquent sermon is often read by hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions. The pulpit, the press and our public schools are the three great forces that govern the country aud it is owing to the combined influence of these forces that we are in any degree people of whom it may be said: Eye speaks peace to eye, heart beats in sympathy with heart and hand is to hand the pledge of fellowship and good will''
 ''Ths church music must be made more at traetive." Certainly, by all means. Sing as the birds sings. gladly and gaily, and again. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, lift it up" Be not afraid, whether you sing in quartette, choir or the congregation. The grandest anthem ever heard on earth was, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and good will to man" It requires but little penetra ton to see that this anthem must indeed have been sung by angels. It was, moreover, @ chorus choir.

Music in Church.

To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 think your correspondent ''S. F. B." in his zeal for quartette choirs has overlesped reason, if not ordinary common sense. He says: ''What is there that will call larger concourse of people together than fine mus ic?" Several things will. A negro minstrel troupe, or a masquerade ball. Unfortunate ly ten will go to either of these for one who will go to hear an oratorio. Admit, however, that artistic quartette will draw a crowd or concourse of people. Scripture and ex- perience show that it is by the .'foolishness of preaching" that the world is to be saved and the doctrines of Christianity. to be pro mulgated. Sacred music, however enioya- ble, is only an accessory or auxiliary. ''S.F. B." says: ''The prevailing idea with some of our ministers is that the welfare of the church depends on them" The prevailing idea with all ministers worthy of the name is that the prosperity of the church depends as much on it's members as it does on the minis ter. This is also Chl listian doctrine.
 Your correspondent says: Let the two, the minister and the quartette, give an enter tainment in separate place, each do their best, and it would be five to one in favor of the music" That would depend wholly on the reputation and standing of the minister and of the choir. Even if 1t should be so in given instance, it would not at all disturb the relative positions of sacred music and pulpit eloquence. If it were so generally, as

A Suggestion To The Chamber o1
 Commerce,
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Permit me through the medium of your columns to call the attention of the Chamber of Commerce to the necessity of procuring a hfeboat to be used in cases similar te the late accident at Quixe's Ledge. The break water could be used as lea, and the boat should be hung to boom derrick that would swing to either side. An ordinary boat such as carried by our coasters is very unsafe in a short and heavy sea, while 8 lifeboat inspires confidence and adds very much to the chances of rescuing people from a wreck. The saving of the lives of the schooner Jane's crew in the late gale was more hazardous undertak. ing than the rescue of those on the City of Columbus, owing to the colder temperature of the air and the greater force of wind.

in wedlook frequently cross over to Pennsyl- vania to have the ceremony psrfeFmed and thus escape the license fee. Lspy who live within essy reach of the District of Columbia go there to get married, the license fee being only $1. If the Maryland law is broken the penalty falls, not upon the clerk who author izes the marriage in the name of the State and gets paid for issuing the certificate, but upon the preacher, who generally has no means of ascertaining any facts with regard to the parties beyond what is stated in the license. Should @ prosecution follow, then the license is no defense. If the license gives lady's age as twenty -one, and in point of fact she is only seventeen, it is the preacher, and not the clerk of the court, who is held responsible. An effort to change this law has been made through bill which was introduced at the present session of the legis- latuee reducing the fee from $4 50 to fifty cents, but it was defeated last week.
 The first State convention of the trade and labor unions of Illinois and Chicago is to be held the 26th of this month, and the pro- gramme for the convention is an interest
 
 in the interests of labor in the platforms to be adopted by the two political parties. If the request is denied, there is ssme talk of putting up 8 separate Presidential ticket. The convention will demand legislstion upon mine inspection. It will seek to secure 8 bureau of labor statistics in every State, and the appointment of tenement house and fac tory inspectors in every city. It will set on foot an effort to secure 8 law to regulate the importation of single men under contract for the purpose of breaking the labor market. Another object is to secure fixed law on the number of hours which shall constitute 8 days labor, and to compel, in slack times, reduction of hours instead of the force of men employed in each shop. Yet another object is to secure the adoption here of the European plan in trades unions of weekly payments by members for the purpose of providing fund from which members may draw in dull times. Another purpose is to compel employers to pay the same prices for each distinct line of work to men, women and children alike. Furthermore, there will be considered the plan of having manual train ing made part of the public school system, so that boys and girls can learn trades The convention will not show any sympathy with Socialists
