The Akron Church and Pastor.
This church has voted the pastor a
vacation and no services will be held
here from now until the first Sunday in
September. On Sunday, July 25, the
pastor gave a highly appropriate dis.
course on Rest" from the text, Come
unto me all ye that labor and are heavy
laden and 1 will give you rest - Matt
x, 81. The pastors wife, who has given
untiring efforts to assist in all good
works for the church, has for some time
been Frustrated from over-work and ma

the symptoms are favorable for speedy
recovery. When sufficiently recovered
the family purpose spending at least
part of their vacation with the father of
our pastor-Rev. @. P. Nash. of Peru.
1T will be of interest to many of your
readers to know that Rev. Mr.. Nash's
last service before departing on his sum-

position of making the opening speech at
the State Convention of Prohibitionists,
held at Canton, o., July % and 20.
Prof. W. d. Shipman and wife leave
this week for vacation with her friends

ing order. The picnic recently held at
Stowe Lake was very pleasant affair.
The past years work in both church and
Sunday school has been arduous and the
faithful ones need rest. In conformity
to the laws of nature and of Revelation,
there will be "rest" from all departments
of this work in order that the workers "
may be refreshed and re-invigorated for
these duties in the coming year, which
will, no doubt, be one full of activity as
any in the past.
There are some churches which, no
doubt, have been resting" so much dur
ing the year, or which do not have reg
ular services every Sabbath, to whom the
call to res" is not applicable; but to all
such as are active and "always abound
ing in the work OF the Lord f" for ten or
eleven months of the year, vacation is
imperative. The strain upon those who
are continually engaged in such work is
too severe to be continued for twelve
months without cessation; for usually it
is the people who are busy in their homes
or at their places of business who do most
of the church work; and this is in con-
formity with what an eminent author has
said: "If you want anything done, give
it to busy man." Idle people are not
to be relied on to do the world charities.
Their time is not systematized; they are
accustomed to postpone from day to day
and let slip the golden opportunities for
usefulness.
We have received pamphlet issued
by the New York Academy of Anthro-
pology, whose object is the study of
psychic phenomena, sociology, natural
history of man and cognate subjects, in
which we find the following allusion to
an industrious and studious preacher:
paper on "The Philosophy of Religion"
by Rev. DIR. Tucker, of Ohio. was read by
DIR. Drayton. The author showed that re-
ligion was vital and enduring factor in the
progress of society, and that it involved in
tellectual processes as well as emotional
states-reason as the source of enthusiasm,
and knowledge as the basis of love. He
showed the inadequacy of the conceptions of
Tyndall and Compile, the juster views of
Max Muller, and closed by showing the
inter-relation of religion and Christian phi
losophy.
