ago.-SyrGcsse IN r. Journal.
Rev. Phillips Brooks says that his
recent tour through India has led MN

The Boston Watchman says that

The Moravians have just been eel
ebrating their 427th anniversary. Tins
leaves the Edinburgh tercentenary lar

be the Oldest Protestant sectin Christen-

year 1457.
-"Our observation is" say the
Methodist bishops in their quadrenniai
address, ssthat where the ministry IS
holy and aggressive, the churches
prosper, whether in our rural districts
or in our cities; but when men remain
| in the ministry simply to retain po-
sitions and to receive support, and me-
chemically perform the duties OF Office,
| our churches fail"
There is no class of workman in
the country" says the New York Jour

clothed and paid as the clergy. There
is no class of men to whom others,
high or low, rich or poor, faithful or
unhelievers, so uniformly go, and from
whom they uniformly receive help in
physical as well as mental suffering and
need"
A missal or mass book printed in
Antwerp in 1910 is in use at the chapel
attached to Carmelwood, the priests
residence, near Upper Marlborough,
Va. The type is clear and beautiful,
the paper still fresh and of the best
texture, and the wood cuts, represent
ing the various events in the life of
Christ, are wonderfully choice and ar
tistic. The book is supposed to have
been brought over by some one OF the
early Catholic settlers in Maryland.
The people who believe that the
English are the long-lost tribes of Is
rae(. are collecting money for what is
known as the Tara Trust Fund, estab.
lished not only to look after the lost
tribes, hut to excavate the Tara Mount,
County Meath. Ireland, in the hope OF
discovering buried therein the deeds
that were given to the Prophet Jere-
miah when he purchased the land oil
Palestine. Mr.. Spurgeon recently took
this subject for his sermon, and de-
clared that the fiction of the lost ten
tribes has no warrant in Scripture.
There were no tribes lost, hence there
are no such persons yet to be discov'
cred. Neither are we the descendants
of those tribes. We are Gentiles, and
the Jews to-day are themselves the de
scendants of the tribes mentioned IL
holy writ.-DetroH Post.

New York and the Presidency.

Beyond all dispute or cavil, the most
vital question now before the people OF
the United States is, Who shall be our
next President? 1t is problem that
profoundly concerns every citizen. nc
matter what his station in life. 1t is o
question which the people have it IL
their power to answer for themselves
no matter what the professional poiltt
clans may think or do. 1t is ques
ton so pregnant with good or i'll. ac
cording to the way in which it will be
solved. that it may well claim prayerful
consideration on the Sabbath as well as
earnest thought on the other six days
of the week.
Our Federal Government sadly needs
publication. 1t can be purified only by
sweeping change ofmen and methods.
Honesty, economy and patriotic intelli-
gence are the foundation stones on
which alone good government can rest
and flourish. After four-and-twenty
years of prodigal waste and corrupt ia
voritism, we are now beginning to COM
prehend the depression and disturbance
of normal functions, which inevitably
follow a debauch in the community as
in the individual. We are paying the
penalty of feverish extravaganza and
class legislation. and thorough cure
can be effected only by electing Dem.
ocratic President.
Several months ago the Star, after an
exhaustive survey of the field, con
! tended that the Presidential campaign
of 1884 would be decided by the vote
of New York State. Although the pre-.
diction was ridiculed by some persons al
the outset, its accuracy is now appre.
ciated and admitted by leading poll
ticians and newspapers of all parties
"As goes the Empire State, SO goes the
Union" is no mere empty boast, but q
confessed truism in politics. What

The eyes of the country are fixed ex-
pectantly upon New York. With goot
platform and popular ticket, our State

| In factious broils and selfish schemes
If the various factions will now sinl

Together they left the wind-swept street,
And entered doorway, where
A woman watched with a gentle face,
And CLINT of gold in her hair.
"You have brought the child" she softly said
HE will fill our lives with joy;
We can love with a tender love the dead,
Yet cherish the orphan boy"

And hope that yours she's found,
And that both of them know that mother

And there was flash and dash of tears,
And a wave of 'kerchiefs white,
And the little newsboy had a home
In the hearts of love that night.
And IL others could only know the joy
That In kindly deeds is found,
Full many an orphan girl and boy
Would be quickly changed around"

Some OracuIar Utterances.

We hardly need to remind our read
ers of the fact that the Administration
which came to welcome close upon
March 4, 1881, was bastard Admins
tration, having no legitimate right to
perform executive functions and exist
ting during the allotted period through
fraud and theft by the leaders of the
Republican party, and through the suf-
ferance of the Democratic party. Still,
the form and state of the Office and its
attachments were appropriated as fully
as though the people had given the ar
rangement the seal of their approval.
