A Worlds Council OF Wouse..

from the f1ttsourk fost.
The last week OF March, commencing on Sun
day, the 18th, there will De neld In Washington
an international council OF women called by the
American Woman's Suffrage Association. Among
those whose presence from abroad is promised are
Pundita Ramabal OF India; Miss Helen Taylor,
the rather distinguished stepdaughter OF John
STUART Mill, Miss Henrietta Muller OF Girton Col
lege and a memoer OF the London school board, rs
well az ladies from France and II ily. The inter-
national tea party will also be the fortietn ami
versary OF the woman's suffrage movement In this
the service and who have charge OF the arrange
ments for the council we ind Miss Susan B. An
tnony, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady stanton, MIS- Ma
ulda Joselyn Gage, the Rev. olympia Brown and
Blackwell Will also be present on the occasion.
These names will carry the reader back TO the
inception OF the movement, when It was
much more matter or ridicule than it Is
much chaffng, some sneers, and some honest adj
miration they have pursued their hobby, with
here ana there flash OF temporary success, here
and there bitter Disappointment, and always
with that hope deferred which, with ordinary
men and women, IL is said, "lnaketh the heart
Sick" In some OF the Western TERRITORIES woman's
suffrage has been achieved, ana the success that
has followed a practical demonstration has not
been remarkable, causing much debate WHETHER IL
was success or failure. The best result achieved
by the propagandists has been the part allowed 70
women In school elections and superyisions In the
2ider states, as Well as their admission 10 the
directory or charitable and reformatory institu-

The old adage mo breakfast, no man." is per-

radical change For the lab0ring man and for the
man OF much physical exercise heavy breakfast Is

In any case, fruit should always be found at
breakfast. Many prefer II after tae meal but 1t s
not only more dgeStlble but assists the digestion
more surely II used at the beginning OF the meal
For light breakfast the fruit should be followed
by one OF the cereals In some form with cream,
which is more nour1shtng than milk and BY many
as easily digested This, followed by delicate dry
toast or rolls, with coffee, tea or chocolate, and
perhaps eggs In some form, makes q breakfast 20

AMOS ORION.

Amos orion, who settled near the site of
the present village of Ortonvile, Mich, which
was named after him, nearly fifty years ago,
and who was seventy.eight years of age on his
last birthday, passed quietly and peacefully
over, on the 10Th of March. During the earlier
part of his manhood, Br. Orion was actively
engaged in the work of the ministry, and
many years ago held a discussion with Elder.
Goodrich in which he proved himself an able
champion of Universalism. Later in life his
health was so impaired by the exposure of
riding forty miles to attend a funeral, that he
was led to relinquish active service while con-
tinuing to preach occasionally. But to the
hour of his death, which found his mind tran
quill and his faith unchanged, he did not cease
to advocate in his speech, and honor in his
character, the faith to which he had consecra-
ted so great a portion of his years. His flu
neral which was held on Thursday, was large
ly attended, Notwithstanding the storm which
ragged fiercely all day. A large circle of SYM
pathizing friends united with the bereaved
wife and surviving children in offering the
last service of love- e. D. JACOBS.

JOHN HENRY BROWN.

Departed this life from bis home in La
Grange, Lorain county, o., March IL, 1888, John
Henry Brown, aged seventy-fve years. Br.
Brown was born in East Windsor, Conn. While
in infancy the family removed to Pennington
N. Y, where he passed the period of youth;
from thence to Ohio, settling in La Grange. in
which place he resided for fifty two years.
Seldom has it fallen to our lot to chronicle
life so nearly approximating the Divine stand
ard as did the life of this noble man. Mild in
disposition. quiet and unassuming in manner,
wise and discreet in the exercis' of opinion
and judgment, yet firm as the everlasting hills
in everything pertaining to right and duty.
combining with these intellectual exceliencies
tender spirit, full of help and charity for
man, and devout reverence for God. with
this truthful outline, which all who knew him
will endorse, it is scarcely necessary to state
that in religion he was Universalist, both in
faith and life. In his community he was es-
teemed more than the ordinary citizen. as an
adjuster in righteousness of the differences
between man and man; hence for years was
kept in the office of justice OF the peace. Like
his divine Master, he was kind to the evil and
unthankful, yet not in vay to compromise
righteousness. His presence and counsel was
a benediction to the bereaved widow and ia
therless child, and his home made radiant with
the light of his cheering faith, was filed with
the peace and rest of heaven. A deep, panied
sense of loss pervades the community in which
for so long time he has been fa' thful Chris
tian member, and at his funeral all denomina-
tional differences were forgotten, the Method
ist and Baptist ministers assisting the writer
in the last solemn rites. OF the family two
sons and a daughter survive him. The sons
reside in the far West; the daughter has been
the faithful keeper of his home, and the solace
of his home life during the years since his
companion preceded him to the silent land,
and with gentle hand and loving presence
miNistered at his bedside of trying pain, and
in fearful sympathy comforted as best she
could the father heart while beating its funer-
al march to the grave. May the God whom
the father loved and trusted, shed the glory
of his tender presence, and the light of his
peac in the home which will nevermore re-
sound with the football of its beloved master
and give the mourner rest is my prayer.

THE GREAT EPOCH.

That great epoch in the religious history of
the world, when its greatest hindrance-the
influence and malignant opposition of the
Jewish nation and its corrupted institutions
of religion were providentially destroyed, and
Christianity was promoted to influence and
power, is the looming of the Son of man."
to which our Lesson relates and which is
most frequently designated by the phrase in
the New Testament. When the religious
rulers of the Jews rejected the Messiah, the
fate of their nation was providentially sealed,
malign influences, both religious and polit-
ical, being in operation which finally wrought
its downfall and destruction. JESUS answered
the disciples questions by describing what
would transpire in their own experience and
under their own observation, before and by
which all the things concerning which they
inquired would occur, and declared that all
that was described would be accomplished
during that generation and be witnessed by
some then living xvi. 2S). [Read chapter
xiv. from the beginning to the end of the
Lesson. About forty years afterward, in
the spring of A. ID. 20, at the time of the
Passover, when the city was full of pilgrims
Jerusalem was besieged by the Roman army,
and after desperate struggle and terrible
suffering, the city was destroyed and the
magnificent Temple burned to the founda-
ton in spite of the efforts of the Roman COM
mander, Titus, TO save it from destruction.
According to the Jewish historian, Josephus,
who was a paroled prisoner and accompanied
Titus in this campaign against his country
men, more than million Jews persisted dur
ing the siege, and ninety thousand prisoners
were carried away into captivity, and the
destruction was so complete :" that there was
no longer anything to lead those who visited
the spot to believe that it had ever been in
habited."
DELIVERED. Notwithstanding the de-
struction was 80 complete and the slaughter
and captivity SO great and terrible, it is re-
liable tradition that no Christian persisted in
the siege. According to Eusebius, called the
"Father of church history" the apostles
we're away on their mission to preach the
Gospel to all nations, and the Christians in
Jerusalem, needing the signs of the times as
they had been described by their Master to
his apostles and in obedience to a Divine
impulse, left the city and went to dwell in
Pella, city of Perea, in the mountainous
region east of the Jordan 16). After the
overthrow of the Jewish nation and the de-
struction of its ecclesiastical system, the
prosecutions of the Christians soon ceased
everywhere, and through the Jealous activity
of its missionaries and evangelists, Christi
anity rapidly rose to power and influence till
it became the established religion of the Ro-
man empire, under the profession and pat
ronsge of the EMPEROR Constantine, about A.
d. 1926, manifesting the continued presence
