THE GEORGE MEETING.

New YORK, October 6th.-The Sun in an
editorial says; The George meeting last
night was very great and impressive gath
eriDg in respect of mere numbers. 1t may
have fallen behind not few political as
semblages of the past years in New York,
but in its earnestness and manifest deter
mination it has not been exceeded by any
of them. 1t is not enough to say the audi
ence was in entire harmony with the senti-
ments of George; they received them with
delight as kind of new gospel for which
their hearts had hungered.

A Strike Ayerted.

HAzELroN (Pa) October 6th-The cloud
of uncertainty regarding the strike of min
ers and laborers that has hung over the
whole Lehigh region for some days past,
was entirely dispelled when men in every
calling in the region went to work as usual
at l clock this afternoon. Noon was the
hour at which it had been given out that
the strike would take place, but when that
hour arrived there was not the slightest
evidence to be discovered anywhere that
such thing as strike had ever been thought
of by workingmen of the district.

believer more elevated and satisfactory
views of the FIXTURE state than prevail
generally among Christians. The volume
is divided into three parts: Comfort for
the Sick, Revelations for the Dying and
Consultations for the Bereaved. 1t is a
tender and cheering volume, and while
irradiated with the faith of our church

sial. 1t will comfort all who mourn. 1t
teaches the consoling truth that call evil
has sunny side, that sorrow is the twin
sister of joy, and the grave only the ves-
thule to the temple of immortal life"

ARGUMENT FOR CHRISTIANITY
An Argument for the Truth of Chris
tianity. In Series of Discourses. By
Rev. /. ID. Williamson, d. D. 16mo.
252 pages. 30 cents.
This is series of thirteen discourses
in defense Of the fundamental doctrines
Of the Christian religion. Among the
themes presented are the following !:
Power and Wisdom of God, Divine Be-
nevolence, Government of God, Rewards
and Punishments, Resurrection of the
Dead, Objections to the Gospel Consid-
cred, etc. The argument running through
the several chapters is model of state
ment and is very finely enforced and
illustrated. The popular objections of
the unbeliever are considered in candid
spirit, and their fallacy exposed, with the
result to strengthen Christian faith and
to show that Christianity is a religion of
reason when properly interpreted and
understood. This little volume is mine
Of wealth for those who would study
Christianity apart from the traditions Of
the old faith. Several editions have been
printed since it's first publication; but the
volume will be substantially new to many
readers, it having been out of print for
over fifteen years. Address orders to

attention outside of our own church.

ON BLACKING BOOTS.

When Harry was in the city during the
winter, he expected to keep his boots we'll
polished, his nails in good order, his
clothes we'll brushed, and himself look
ing like little gentleman; but when he
went to the country he thought he need
no longer pay any attention to his looks,
and was inclined to be somewhat care
less. He was SO full of his play from
morning until night, and had so much to
do, that five o'clock came all too soon for
him. He and his little playmates had
rats to build and to sail on the lake, they
had rowing and fishing to do, they had
little strips of wood to nail all the way mp
the tall trees, so that they could climb
almost to the tip-top, like squirrels, and
about as nimbly as they; they had little
boats to build, and to sail down the
canals which they had digged. and, in
fact, they seemed sometimes to be 50 full
of business they could hardly take time
for their meals, although it was noticed
that they could eat any number of gin
ger cakes and doughnuts, apples and
pears, between meals.
One afternoon when he came up to the
porch where his mother and some other
ladies we're sitting, his mother said to
him quietly:
"Now, Harry, go to your room and
change all your clothes, and put yourself
in nice order for supper. Don't forget
your nails, and before you dress see if
your other shoes are well polished"
"They look we'll enough, 1 know"
said Harry. "Do have to blacken them
them? inst hate to do it'll"
"You can see how they look" replied
his mother, "but do not come into the
psrlor with dirty Shoes"
Harry went to his room, and when he
took his shoes from the closet he saw
they were not in good order, for the
evening previous he had taken a little
run just before bed time, and accident
ally had stepped into the mud.
"Oh, pshaw! he said aloud, "I wish
fellows shoes would stay clean, or else
that mother would not be so particular. /"
But knowing that he could not present
himself with such shoes, he picked them
up, and, whistling lively tune, he saun-
tered along, swinging the shoes as he
went, to the back porch, where he slammed
open the blackine box, and, still whistlinQ,
managed to get little blscking on, over
the mud, however, and neglecting the
heels and the back part of the shoes
altogether. Then tossing the brushes
and backing into the box, and leaving
the cover up, swung along to his room.
In half an hour he appeared, bright and
fresh, arrayed in different suit, and but
for his half-blacked shoes and uncared-
for nails, was gentlemanly looking boy.
In the evening, after one of his aunts.

and could he not outweigh the extra dis
lance by his extra speed on skates? What
difference could it make?
Finally he started down the hill road.
His conscience was rather clamorous, but
he tried not to listen to it. The skating
was excellent. The road was one beau
titul strip of smooth ice, and not cut at
all. There had been no teams through,
probably, since the ice had formed. There
was but one house for the distance of a
half mile on the little road, after George
entered it. It was little implanted
house, standing we'll back from the road.
An old man lived there all alone. George
glanced at this house as he skated by,
and observed, with some wonder, that the
sheet of crusty snow before it was unbro-
ken. 1t stretched out, broad and smooth
and shining, not single track in it.
THAT'S queer" George thought lightly,
as he glided past.
When he reached home, the doctor had
not arrived; he was in ample time to look
out for the horses when be did. There
was no necessity for telling DR.. Foster
about the hill road, but George went up
to him at once.
II carried the medicine up to the Ste
vens's, but I came home by the hill
road"
DR.. Foster could speak sharply some
times; he did now.
"Why did you do that, when expressly
told you not to-" said he
George explained.
"That doesn't alter the case," said the
doctor. "When I tell you to go certain
way, your business is to go that way,
skating or no skating"
81 know it," said George, humbly.
"Well, look out you act up to your
knowledge, them" said the doctor. "Obe-
dience is obedience, and you needn't
think that owning up is going to make
up for the lack Of it."
eyes, sir" said George, looking crest
fallen.
The sweet taste of that forbidden pleas
ure was already gone from his mouth.
He began to take the horses out of the
carriage, when the thought of that house,
with the untracked snow before it, on the
hill road, flashed across his mind, and he
mentioned it to the doctor.
"What," said he, pausing on the house
piazza, cold David Paine's?"
"Yee, sir"
"Wasn't a track, you say?"
"No, SIR"
II don't know but I'd better drive over
there before you unharness," said the
doctor, thoughtfully. "That old man
has had some bad turns; there may be
something wrong. Put the horses back,
and get in with me-"
Something was wrong at old David
Paine's house, with its trackless front
yard. An hour or two more, and the
poor old man would have been beyond
all human help. He had been lying
helpless for two days.
"Wen," said DR.. Foster, when David
Paine had been we'll cared for, and he
had returned home, and was eating sup
per with his family. Georges strict re-
gard for truth has done good service in
this case. It has saved David Paine's
life"
