At TIE CHURCH DOOR.

Al HE till XIII I"lph.
In the oden time there was an existing
custom at the one church III town >tati0ning a
man At the entrance, properly armed with u
l0ng-handlcd mact, to discourage the dogs
that often presented themselves at the edtcc,
much to the annoyance of the congregation.
The diSOrdery conduct at some of the churches
suggests the proprctv Of renewing this custom
of years gone by, not for the purpose of canine
prohibition, bat to establish order among a
bipedaI class of animals. 1t is one of the
prime laws of farming, you know. that the

NAMES DELEGATION IN CONGRESS.
In one respect the Democrats have been out

and is only acquired by long service. Mr.. Reed

Rev. DR.. Buckley, editor of the Methodist
Christian AdrocGtc has a long and exhaus-
tive article on d" Faith-healinE," in the June
Century, which concludes ~ follows: The
falth-healers represent God as interfering
constantly, not by cause and effect in the
order of nature, but affecting the result
directly. Their want of superiority to those
who are not Christians, but use either false
preteuses or natural laws and their infer
iority to Christ and the apostles, condemn
their pretensious. Nor does 1t avail them to
say, Christ would not come down from tho
cross when taunted by unbelievers.' They
might perhaps with proprietv refuse a test
for the tests sake, though ELI iah forced one.
