CULLIBILITY.

The wild pfantoms and s~hrieking cries of n worth
less humbug can make money by imposing upon the
crcdulty and ignorance of an honest public, and the
supply of this species ofwork seems more than an ade-
quate demand. The enunciauon Of facts-facts that
have stood crucial tests-facts proven by brain force and
tangible evidence, should satisfy all laudable enter
prises; but the execrable practice of teaching false
ideas and doctrines for self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Is truly
reprehensible and should be scorned by oil classes.
When one house tells you that Iodide Of Potash Is
a poison simply because their opponents use II, and
because they are pandering to your ignorance, as they
suppose, you should look upon all such as arrant
frauds and their remedies as unworthy of public con-
fdence, and If those who make such assertions do
not know better, they are n set of unenviable igno-

therefore the most widely used side spring. 1t

choke and the left full choke, thus we'll adapt

bg~ Great men are not necessary to a
church, if, as a body, it bears great and
permanent fruits. Great scholars can be
done without, so long as opportunity for
profting by the best learning of the world
is placed within the reach of all by sound
and widely diffused education. Great
preachers are not at all essential since
the power is not of men but of God. Mo

all the Lords people were prophets" The
Psalmist' says: "The Lord giveth the
word; the women that publish the tidings
are a great host" Only one, the last of
the apostles, was a man of very superior
intellect or learning, and it is doubtful
whether Paul was of progressing APP
pearance and delivery. Hardly a weaker
argument can be offered on behalf of a
clerical system, with Theological semina-

THE NUMBER SEVEN.-Among the He
brews the word for solemn swearing is
''septenare," or protest by seven. Abra-
ham, you will remember, appointed seven
eve lambs as his testimony to the COW
enant with Abimilech. The Creator rested
from his work on the seventh day, and this
day was called Sabbath or seventh. A
leprous person was either to battle seven
times or be sprinkled seven times with the
blood of a sparrow. Seven years was the
period for repentance. Every seven years
the Hebrew servant demanded liberty for
himself. And the prophet praised God
seven times a day. Cain, we are told, was
to be revenged sevenfold.
The gifts of the Holy Ghost was said to
be seven in number, and in the presence of
the Almighty seven angels stand, as we
are told in Tobias. Seven lamps burn be-
fore God, and throughout the whole book
of Revelations the number seven is con-
stantly used. Jacob served seven years
tor Leah and seven more for Rachel.
Then there are the ven ears of corn and
the seven kline. 1t was seven people that
possessed the land of promise in Deuter-
onomy, and the story of Samson tells
how he kept his nuptials sever days, and
then was bound with even green Withes.
