Archdeacon Farrar Says there is
no Real Skepticism.

In a recent sermon in Philadelphia
Canon Farrar said he did not believe
that a genuine atheist existed; that
not eman in millions really doubted
the existence of God; but, notwith-
standing this, clergymen were con
stantly in receipt of lettersfrom those
who were either fancitully or sincerely
troubled with doubts. Such anxieties
were especially frequent among the
young. As a general thing there was
no real skepticism, but what was taken
for it was merely theresuit of self con.
ceit or self-disgust. When honest, he
said, it should, of course, be. the OBJ
jeet OF 9 pastors most anxious
and faithful labor; but those
honestly troubled should distin.
guish carefully between essentials
and non-essentials; between things
destined to be shaken and things made
to remain. The miracle wrought by
Joshua or tie reality of the garden Of
Eden were not points of saving truth,
but of biblical criticism. Nor did the
opinions of Augustine or Wesley, OF
the dogmas of the church, he argued,
constitute Christianity, which was to
believe in God, the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost; to depend upon Christie
life everlasting; to love God with all
the heart and olove ones neighbor az
ones self.
In dealing with confirmed infidels
the speaker advised that M time be
wasted in scriptural criticism, but
that seven questions be propounded
which no agnostic could answer.
These were: "Where did matter come
from?" what is the origin of mo.
tion2" "Whence proceeded the order
of nature?" whence cameconscious
ness, free will and conscience9" And
the test questions for the Christian
are: .Do you believe in God andloye
Him, and do you love your fellow
man for Christ's sake?"

A Pair of Inn0cents.

What sort Of a groom is he who can
sit holding the hand Of a woman two
hours and a half on ahot summer day
without uttering a word, and what
sort Of bride is she who can sit and
have her hand held in a dust-laden
railway a two hours and half with
out saying a word2 When the spasm
of hugdom is passed, when the cold
type Of a tomorrow mornings issue is
reached, what has he to offer her?
What has she to extend to him? Are
they going through life speechless? Is
there no topic on which their young
tongues can find common interest?
Have they no plans for the future to
ponder and to talk about? Havethey
no expectations, no hopes, no fears?
Is the future assured? Does the vast
horizon beyond point to them simply
a certainty of bliss?
He was q curly-headed, blue-eyed,
downy-moustached, narrow-chested,
kIiobby-kLssed youth, with toothpick
shoes, a gold ring and a fashy scarf.
She was a prim young maiden, In
sateen dress, every part of WHICH In
dicated neatness, the -preciseness other
nature. There was a. little frill in the
neck and little frills at each wrist, a
long gold chain around her neck, at the
end ofwhich hung a tiny watch, encased
in a net. She wore mits, and she sat
like a statue waiting for the end Of
their Journey. That was their bridal
trip. a happy pair, no brains, no
hearts, no fears, no aspirations, moth
ing but a calm palm-to-palm present.
I thought of that young couple con-
siderably, and wondered what their
end would be.-Philadelphia Press.

The Wrong Customer Again Dis
turbed.

He was the ~greenest old man you
ever saw. He looked around the pas
senger coach in q way to prove that
he had never entered one before, and
he sat down so softly, and seemed to
be 80 afraid of damaging something,
that all the passengers smiled.
By and by a young man went over
and sat down beside him. This young
man might have been directed by filial
affection, and he might not. (Which
way, uncle?" he softly asked.
"Me? Oh, I'mgoin'to see my darter
in Connecticut"
ever travel much"
"This is the first time / was ever on
the keers. I've driv off seventeen miles
with the oxen to see my other darter,
but oxen haint no comparisont to these
keers."
III should say not. 1t takes q lot OF
money togo to Connecticut and back"
"Drefful lot, but / jist soldt the farm,
you know"
II presume 0 could change a hum
dred-dollar bill for me?"
"Oh, jist as we'll as not"
81 may want you to by and by.
This is good weather, eh?"
"Strordinary weather fur fall.
James has been worried about his
corn, but / guess it's all SAFE"
Nothing further was said for some
time, the old mar looking out of the
window and the young man reading a
paper. The train made a few stops,
and the car was so warm that after a
while the old man began to yawn
and nod. He fought it off forten min
utes, but at last his head fell back,
and his gentle SHORES mingled with the
roar OF the wheels.
Al slim white hand, with tapering
fingers, rested on his leg; then it was
elevated to his breast. It's touch was
that of a feather. Its movement was
that of a serpent creeping forward to
strike. The fingers touched an old
fashioned wallet. The young man
continued to read, and the old man
slept on. Inch by inch the wallet was
lifted from its snug resting place, and
the hand was almost readyto remove
it entirely, when something happened.
With a sudden movement OF his right
hand the old man pinned the interlop-
er fast. and his voice s3 heard call
ing:
HYou blamed skunk! But | knowed
all the time what you were after!
Where's the conductors"
There was a rush of passengers, and
they found a helpless, confused pick
pocket and an indignant, but yet elat-
ed old man.
"Consarn his picktur', but he took
mi fur an ole haystack from q back
medderl Work roots on me will vel
Sot q trap fur me and fell into it yer
self, eh?"
Even a professional pickpocket
hadn't cheek enough to urge q single
excuse. The fellow hadn't one blessed
word to say, and vas walked on to
the baggage car to be kicked to the
platform at the next station.
Eye see,n said the old man, as he
turned to the inquiring passengers,
~ hadn't orter done it. When q man
has bin constable, Sheriff, or drover
all his days, travellin' all over and
meetin' with all sorts OF folks, he
hadn't orter play off greenhorn and
break a young nan's heart like this,
but / felt sort o. reckless this mornin'.
/ must put a curb on my speerits; I'm
gettin' too old to be playin' Jokes en-
conidin' young men,"

The Case OF the Farmers.


A farmer in Kent County, Delaware, writes
10 the Record complaining of the exceed
ingly low prices of agricultural staples. He
says that his daily paper which at first cost
him annually the value of four Bushels OF
corn, or two and one-hah OF wheat now
takes fifteen bushels OF corn. or seven and
one-han of wheat as its yearly toll. This Is
remarkable; but il lees expense is dsslr-
able, this Delaware farmer and ell Others
can get the Record every day in the year for
the value of about eight bushels OF corn, or
four and one-half OF whsat. Aud
no better investment can De made by any
farmer than q years subscription 70 the Rec
ord at such low cost.
Many Of those who live by the soil viii be
inclined to agree with our Kent County
friend that low prices for farm products Is
one Of the principal causes OF what is popu-
larly known as "hsrd times." But II these
prices advance. SO does every other charge
and the farmer remains poor. The truth IS
that he is taxed too much on everything he
uses while his products are sold IN the
worlds markets for what they will bring.
