one day. After prayerfully considering the
subject he got wide stout strap and gave
each of them sound fiogging. Some Ameri-
| can and English friends were shocked but
! the medicine worked cure; and prosaic Dr.
| Grundelman remarked with a sigh, that it ia
| blessing to find brave man ''who can adj
dress the natives with holy earnestness and
love in language they can understand
Herr Proselt has SO native members in his
temperance society.
IT don't like the Minister That settles
the matter. If you don't like the minister,
you have no duties to perform. Not liking
the minister, absolves you from all RESPONSE
bility. The fact that you don't like the min
lister relieves you from your VOWS. If you
| are trustee or steward, you need not take
further interest in the financial affairs of the
congregation. The fact that the people
intrusted you with certain duties which you
engaged to perform, lis neither here nor there
| if you don't like the minister. OF course you
| need not pay anything if you don't like the
minister. The easiest way to get rid of sup
porting the church and its ordinances, is
simply to say, 81 don't like the ministers
OF course you need not go to prayer meeting.
| Why should man pray, if he don't like the
| minister?
| The above is just specimen of the kind of
editorials that aggravating editor Of the North
aoeste17s Christian advocate puts in his paper.
They do say that he rides a bicycle like boy.
and if he don't quit writing such uncomfor-
table things, somebody will tell on him.
The well-known Goyerneur Morris, who
was gentleman by birth, education and
conversion, and of the most dignifed and
courteous bearing, on being asked his defn-
| ition of a gentleman, replied in the words Of
a paraphrase OF one of David's psalms:
| 's'Tis he whose every thought and deed,
| By rule of virtue moves;
| Whose generous tongue disdains to speak
| The thing his heart disproves;
| Who never did q SANDER forge,
| His neighbors' fame to wound,
Nor harken to a false report
| BY malice whispered round:
| Who vice in ell its pomp and power
| Can treat with just neglect,
| And, piety, though clothed in rags,
| Religiously respect;
Who to his plighted words a trust
Has ever firmly stood
| And though he promise to his loss,
| He makes his promise good;
/ Whose soul in usuary disdains
His treasure to employ,
Whom no rewards ever bride
The guiltless to destroy.
| This psalm was also neatly copied by
Thomas Jefferson in his commonplace book
where he was accustomed to treasure up the
choicest gems of thought and rules of life.
| Ferdinand Harrison asks in the Popular
Science Monthly for August. ''Shall we
| cling to religion of Spiritism when Philoso-'
ply is whiting away spirit to Nothing? Or
shall we accept religion of Realism, where
1 all the great traditions and functions of re-
| ligion are retained unbrokens'' 1t would
| strike ordinary fellows like the most of US, if
our poor spirits are being remorselessly
whitfield away to nothing, it does not make
much difference whether we cling or accept
| GAS with thousands of lower types of
| creatures which have severally illustrated
the truth that the life and death of the indi-
vidual prefgure in brief space the life and
death of the race, so with this highest type
OF creature, Man: a beginning and end 70
Humanity are no less certain than the be-
And to suppose that this acknowledgements
cent form of existence ought to occupy our
minds so exclusively as to leave no
no space for consciousness of that Ulti-
mate Existence which is but one form out Of
multitudes-an Ultimate Existence which
was manifested in infnitely-varied ways be-
! fore Humanity arose, and will be manifested
in infnitely-varied other ways when HUI
mainly has ceased to be, seems very strange
to me, indeed, amazing. From HRetro-4
gressive Religion by Herbert Spencer, in
Popular Science Monthly for August.
If Mr.. Spencer will put the word ''God'' in
/ place of the words 'Ultimate Existence, 10
the above noble sentiment will be SO nearly
| orthodox as to actually startle him.
