This sgain raised the question Of ths
status and authority Of the Manual Of the
Discipline in the courts Of the Church.
The debate on the resolutions was in a
great part a repetition of what was
said when the question was up before q
few days since.
MIR. Winfield said: "This is the
resumption Of the resolution | had the
honor to introduce on last Friday, aud
which was acted on last Saturday. The
explanation and declaration Of Bishop
McTyeire was to me eminently salts.
factory, and fully defined the status Of
the Manual. He declared that it was
of no official authority. The resolu-
ton now before the body will add no.
thing TO this, nor does it in the least
change its standing, but only sends out
a book without any official authority to
BE- used by ell our preachers as . judi
cious commentary and helpful guide"
Rev. W. W. Walker, Of Virginia,
made . speech in which he very clearly
.et forth the true place for work OF
tho nature and character Of the Manual
in deciding questions Of law.

Hands and Hearts.

The Boston Journal tells the follow
ing: As one of the morning trains ran
into the Boston & Albany Railroad
Station one of the cold mornings re-
Gently. when the thermometer regis
tered 10 degrees below zero, q poor
young fellow leaning on crutch with
out mittens or overcoat and with a
bundle under his arm, alighted and
hobbled through the station, OCCASION
ally altering his bundle to blow on his
hands or rub his ears to keep them
from being frozen. Directly after him
walked young gentleman enyeloped
in a fur coat with its great collar
turned up around bis ears. seal cap
and thick gloves, making him look the
picture of warmth. AS the crowd
came out to Beech street the fur coat
young man was seen to pull off his
gloves. and putting them on to the
hands of the young cripple he strobe
hastily up the street without q word.
Astonishment was pictured on the Grip
pie face, and tears came into his eyes
as he turned around to thank the giver,
but he was lost to sight in the rapidly
moving crowd.

On the back is her device, cupid on

porcelain shows small cracks at the
edges. tits itself a curiosity, and its
pedigree, it is said, is clearly traced.

The Green Chicken.

A short time ago green parrot. who
was allowed the run of a London gar
den, had taken it into his head to climb
tree, to get on the dividing wall of
that and other gardens and to make
voyages of exploration. He had ar
rived at place where the brick wall
was surmounted by green trellis,
and he perched himself on this, occas-
ionally exclaiming ''Mother!'' in a
heart-rending tone. The garden which
he thus dominated was inhabited by a
red tom cat of decided ch aracter, who
apparently took this as a challenge.
He quickly mounted the wall and the
trellis and began hostile approaches in
form. The scene was too interesting
to be prematurely interrupted; but the
household of the red cat promptly armed
themselves with weapons and attained
a point of vantage whence they could
protect the bird, who, though stranger
was known and appreciated. But the
parrot had sufficient resource. For
time it paid NO APPARENT attention to
the cat, but gazed into vacancy, ejacu-
latng ''Mother!'' As the cat crouched
for spriug at a foot distant, and as
the spectators were wondering whether
brooms ought to come into play, the
parrot made half face with the speed
of lightning, rose to its heels like q
cock tapped its wings also chan
ticleer fashion. and pounced on
the cat with wings and beak. 1t did
no harm beyond a decided buffet: but
the cat was so completely bewildered
that it nearly fell of the trellis and
shuff1ed back several feet, while the
parrot contemplated it with an air of
natural philosopher, and again cried
"Mother!' At this point the cat COM
pletely beaten, was picked off the wall
by benevolent cook, and retired to
ruminate on the unsportsmanlike oddi-
ties of ''green chickens.

Thoughts.

There is no moment like the present;
not only so, but, moreover, there is no
moment at all, that is, no instant force
and energy, but in the present. The
man who will not execute bis resolu-
tions when they are fresh upon him
can have no hope for them afterward,
they will be dissipated, lost. and perish
in the hurry skurry of the world, or
sink in the slough of Incidence.
Ay, that's the word-punctuality!
Did you ever see q man who was
punctual who did not prosper in the
long run? We don't care who, or what
he was-high or low, ignorant or
learned, savage or civilized we know
that if he did as he agreed, and was
punctual in all his engagements. he
prospered.
Allegories and spiritual signi6ca-
tons, when applied to faith, and that
seldom, are laudable; but when they
are drawn from the life and conversa-
ton they are dangerous, and, when
men make too many of them, pervert
the doctrine of faith. Allegories are
fine ornaments, but not of proof.
EMISSIONS are the common shelter of
the hardhearted, the false, and the i'm
potent, when called upon to assist; the
really great alone plan instantaneous
help, even when their looks or words
presage difficulties.
Next to clothes being fine, they
should be we'll made, and worn easily,
for man is only the less genteel for a
fine coat, if in wearing it he shows a
regard for it, and is not as easy in it as
if it were plain one.
How brightly do little joys beam up
on a soul which stands on ground
darkened by the clouds of sorrow; so
do stars come forth from the empty
sky, when we look up to them from a
deep we'll.
Life's harmony must have its dis
cords; but, as in music pathos is tenn
pered into pleasure by the pervading
spirit of beauty, so are all LIES sounds
tempered by love.
To be happy the passion must be
cheerful and gay, not gloomy and
melancholy. A propensity to hope
and Joy is real riches; one to fear and
sorrow, real poverty.
By struggling with misfortunes we
are sure to receive some wounds in the
conflict; but sure method to come of
victorious is by running away.
If the human intellect hath once
taken liking to any doctrine, it draws
everything else into harmony with that
doctrine, and to its support.
1t is impossible that an ill natured
man can have public spirit; for how
should he love ten thousand men who
never loved onep
We ought not to Judge of mems
merits BY their qualifications. but by
the use they make of them.
Though we travel the world over to
find the beautiful, we must carry it
with US. or we find it not
I dare no more fret then dare curse
and swear.

Said BY Canon Earrar.

If Christianity is to hold her own,
Christians must beware of the stag
nant doctrines and dead theologies.
Prophetic were the words of John Rob
inson to the Pilgrim Fathers: Il am
pursuaded of the Lord that He hath
more truth 10 break out of His Script
ures." Theology must learn to change
her line voluntarily and by her own
insight, and not be forced to do so on
ly when the strangling grasp of SCI
once or criticism Is at her throat.

What was to.hinder her going to wreck2
They were laughing at her all over the
town; \
They said she'd not even an anchor down;
NO captain, no crew, no anything,
Save foolish, shining banner to fling,
Silken and bright and bit for king,
The "Happy." No line of date, or place;
She seemed to belong to ali time and space
With her subtle magic charm and grace.
No power itseemed that they had to choose,
Breathless they went, first one, then anoth
'sHa! We had not moment to lose!"

''Hush i! no?"cried her lover. "Beginning to

As he spoke, they und the anchor give,
And the silken banner futtering out,
High over head rang laughing shout;
Invisible hands broug ht the ship about.
While the rest were tugging with hands

To get under way, the ''Happy" with ease,
Sailed past them into the sunny seas.
Into sunny seas; but they cannot reckon,
Nor reckon or guess how long ago;
For logs are not kept on board OF the "Hap-

And the names Of years they no longer
know.
One thing is sure: When they sailed away
Their hair was brown and now it is gray
SO they think if the truth we're known and
told,
They've been cruising long, and are getting
old.
And the harbor must be near at hand.
Where the "Happy's' passengers will land.
Some storms they have had that swept the
decks:
The sea all around was strewn with wrecks
The 'Strive," the "Labor," the "Watch,''
and the ''Care,"
They'd not so much as time for prayer,
Twas piteous sight to see them there.
But steady and safe, they know not why,
Her banner tightening the darkest sky,
The Happy" sailed triu mphantly by;
The ''Happy'' with no limo of date or place
Her orders cover all time and space.
Thanks be to God for this gift of His grace.

Memorial Day.

Mrs. B. I'll. Hood, president of
the Dawson Memorial Association,
requests the JOURNAL to cali a
meeting of the members of the So
eiety for to-inorrow afternoon at
three O'Clock, at the millinery
store Of Mrs. G. T.. Mize, to ar
range for the proper celebration
of an anniversary of the CoBfedar-
ate dead. The cause for which
our heroes fell is just, but did not
succeed, Nevertheless, their
memories are dearer to every true
Southern patriot on account OF
their defeat. But for their cour-
age, their patriotism, their great
and heroic deeds, and their glori-
Gus death, the co, querer would
have forever sealed the fetters
upon those who survived. Let
the ladies see to it that the day is
properly observed in Dawson, and
on the occasion let the sweet flow
ers of our sunny land be plucked
by the South's fair daughters and
scattered over the graves of those
who gave their lives for "Lost
Cause"
