l. Our colored licentiates, Thomas
Msclin and w. P. Lloyd, were ordained
to the full work OF the gospel ministry.
Their examination on personal piety and
motives in seeking the ministry, and on

eminent was thorough and very credita-
BILE. Their sermons were instructive and
edifying. Arrangements were made for
their installations over the churches
which they have been serving for a year
past
g. The Presbytery resolved to employ
two evangelists in what is known as our
river field, the First and Second Churches
Of Memphis becoming responsible for

was done, and there was preaching twice

Gambling in Church.

In its denunciation Of gambling the
Montreal Witness has been unsparing.
Wherever the evil exists it is attacked
with the utmost directness. This de-
moralizing vice becomes only the more
hldeous when 1t is carried on under the
guise OF religious sanction. A fragrant
case in Montreal is thus stigmatized
When Christ went into the temple and
found people buying and selling therein
He cast them out, saying, " 1t Is written,
My house is the house OF prayer but We
have made it a den of thieves" A stately
temple has been built to the name of
Christ, and the Roman Catholic authori-
ties who have charge of it have turned 1t
into a den OF thieves. Just now gambling
OF the worst desert ption is going on in it.
In one OF the transepts, well out of sight,
a wheel OF iortIne, which the police would
not allow IN any other place, is set and is
being whIrled around while young men
and women stand around in crowd and
gamble. Children are going about and
see gambling carried on in the church.
This Is an lulqulty of the worst sort 1t
is an outrage upon Christianity it is
betrayal OF Christ in the house of His
friends. 1t the police did their duty,
they would 90 up to the cathedral, seize
the gambling machine, and arrest those
in charge OF it. What hope is there Of
stamping out this abominable and de-
morslizing vice it the Roman Catholic
Church thus shamelessly profits by it as
do all manner Of blacklegs - Coud0

Moody and Sankey.

Just before Mr.. Sankey went to Eng
land he talked with some friends about
his career and his relations to Mr.. Moody.
Before he began his evangelical work he
was business man In New Castle, Pa,
and was Deputy Internal Revenue Col.
lector. He met Mr.. Moody in 1862 at
Indianapolis, who, after he heard him
sing, said he was the man he wanted. AS
most of his songs were American, when
they went abroad doubt was felt as to
their reception. In England they were
popular, but at the first meeting in Scot.
land, which was at the Free Assembly
Hail. in Edinburgh, just as Mr. Sankey
was preparing to sing a solo, loud
scream was heard, and woman voice
yelled Let me out Let me out What
would John Knox think of you p She
continued to scream that sentence until
she had struggled out of the crowd. An
overflow meeting was held across the
street, and Mr.. Sankey went over to sing;
no sooner had he Begun than the same
voice screamed out as before, land the
owner of it went bounding down the aisle
and out" She was a successor of Jennie
Geddes, but Mr.. Sankey said that no
more protests were made against music
that John Knox knew nothing of in his
day"
In defending himself against criticism
Mr.. Sankey says: am aware that my
music 10 criticised by those who are fond
of the higher grade. They say my songs
will not do for the choir. l never in.
tended my Gospel hymns for use in the
churches. L prepared them at first ex-
pressely for my own use. Mr.. Moody
and l, when we were selecting songs to
form the Gospel Hymns, always consult.
ed the use we could put them to in our
evangelical work We had no thought
OF choir music. Hence the criticisms
that classicists pass upon my songs will
not admit OF argument or denial from me,
because 1 intended them in the beginning
for my sole USE
According to the report in daily from
which we obtained much of the intorma-
ton in the foregoing notes, Mr. S4nkey
places {" The Nlnety-and Nine" at the
head of the list of his hymns in effective
ness upon hearers. Next he places Jesus
of Nazareth Passeth By" This hymn
was composed by Miss Helen Campbell
an estimable Presbyterian lady, now en-
gagged in kindergarten work in Morris
town, N. j.
Mr.. Moody is the most remarkable in.
stance of the influence of religious zeal
upon intellectual growth that modern
times can present. Those who knew hin
when he began his career and have main
tanned an acquaintance with him unit
now alone can estimate this fact. The
members of the earlier international
Conventions of the Young Mems Associa
tons were impressed with his honesty
simplicity, and force, but few of then
dreamed that he would become what ht
has. His genius is objectionable. He
has now planned for Chicago system
differing from former methods, purposine
to do cottage work, that's, to organise
a corps of assistants whose duty it will
be to go from house to house and see the
people. This is of vital Importance. 1t

day Of evil will surely come to the evil

indulge which does not tear his heart

fearful retributions in this life, for which
the way is prepared by deviations from
the path of rectitude. These inevitable
consequences OF sin cannot be too careful
ly aN oided by reirainng from the causes.
The sooner there's ceasing from exposure
to the necessary outcome Of transgression,
the better for all concerned. While the
eagles have received their com mission to
gather where the body is, and when they
have thus congregated, it may be too late
to look for a remedy for the evils OF sin.

Two Theories for Cooking Meat.

. roaring fire and would roast the beef only
OH the outside leaving the inside rare. lie
allows only little time for broiling or roast
ing, because his theory is that any other pro
cess destroys the genuine flavor of the meat
The point of flavor is the ono OIL which the
two cooks split and therefore their philoso
pllies run wide apart. mo favor can be III
