SHOWING THEIR coLoRs.

Socrates Webster and Cufy came
ont in their true colors in last weeks
mugwump, and in the lowest spirit
and most degraded principle showed
their own true characters and their
unfitness and unworthiness of any
notice or recognition, except that of
the villifier and common BLACKBOARD.
Ifthey have nothing to lose, we have.
Wewere discussing the colored school
question and the action Of the School
Board with gentleman and with a
newspaper, not with mud Singing
machine and its operator. The evil
dent hopeless position Of the man
and the low ebb of the motives and
principles by which he is governed,
are becoming more apparent every
day. He can never forget that he
has lost the post-office and his place
in the party, and it seems to be an
ever present torment to him, driving
him on, now here, now there, to this
and to that, trying to drag others
down to his own level. The intelli-
gent are not blinded by any preju-
dice; they see and think for them
selves. He hurts no one except him
self. Many colored people have
enough of Cuffy, and many white
people have enough of Socrates Web
ster. 1t is pity they cannot 60 to,
gether somewhere and have a party,
court and bar of their own. 1t
would be so nice. They are both
great men, too big for this commun-
ity. They can abuse decent people,
there is nothing to prevent it. The
only way is to keep out of their road
and have nothing to do with them.
Any man in politics or any enter
prise espoused by Socrates Webster
or his mugwump, will not be touch
ed by the people whom be has abus-
ed. That right they have and it is
but justice to themselves to exercise
it. Be it man for any Office, be it
rink, fair, telephone, island or what
ever sees fit to hang on to this abus.
er or have him hang on to it.-that's
sufficient; those whom he has abus-
ed and their friends are justified in
not going near, supporting or touch
ing with forty-foot pole anything
thus EXCEPTIONALLY involved. Let
them carry it out, and that strictly.
If the people want to encourage
anything so contrary to all that is
noble, generous and good, by giving
such mental food to their children
and surrounding the family circle
with influences that degrade instead
of elevate, let them do it, but moth
ing of the kind shall ever come
inside of our home. If Cuffy carries
out his preceptor's example in his
school, the colored people would far
better leave their children run on
the streets; their training would be
in less danger.

A Christian Host,

Those who desire to keep pace
with the mission work of the times
must needs be on the alert. The
grand advance host in the mission
field grows rapidly year by year.
So far, there is great encouragement
in that. In China, japan, and Siam,
no less than thirty eight missionary
societies are represented. Clerical
missionaries, 327; medical mission
aries, 81; other lay missionaries, Ga;
single ladies, of whom 8 are medical,
1876; married ladies, 1876; total mis-
sionaries of all classes, SS4. This
was the working force In May, 1882;
and several have been added since.
From list giving the names, date
of entrance on missionary duty, and
the places where they are stationed,
it appears that of the SS4, the vari
Gus branches of Methodism furnish
fully one hundred. This is honora-
BILE to our Methodist brethren, who,
in the work of evangelizlng the world,
are always found having their full
share of the burden of work and ex-
pense. What triumphs for Christ
may we not expect in the near future
from this Christian host of nearly
one thousand earnest, devoted men
and women. Surely the day Of small
things is passed. -Ex.

Ministers tor The Age.

The simple truth is that the ed
ucatiou OF ministers, as in the train
ing of lawyers and physicians and
merchants, the facts and conditions
of the modern world must be taken
into the account. There is no use
in turning out eighteenth century
ministers for nineteenth century con-
gregations, and then wondering that
they fail, and the churches do not
hold their own, and in no spirit of
criticism we would urge that the
Faculties of ali our colleges and the.
illogical seminaries bear this point
directly and constantly in mind. 1t
is not true, as Professor Patton well
says, that the relations of minister
and people to each other have chang
ed; but 1t is true that the circum-
stances and conditions and wants Of
the people to-day are somewhat diff
ferent from what they were half
century ago. This difference must
be recognized in order to succeed.
1t is a difference which every earnest
minister sees and feels every day,
and studies hard to meet He is
Obliged to adapt himself to many
conditions his revered predecessors
knew nothing about. The old foes
reappear in new forms, and must be
by new arguments. If inf
dels quote science TO overthrow faith,
he must appeal to larger and deep

this way he makes himself man of
his time, and exemplifies the mean,
