1.-TWO are better tnan one," says the
preacher and then ne gives as reason
for this gain: ''For if they fall, the
one will lift up his fellow but woe to
him that is alone when he falleth, and
hath not another to lift him up"
There certainly can be no question that
one live man and an3ther live man are
worth at least eleven times the practi-
cal value of one dead man. And it is
obvious that the life Of either of two
men may depend OF -she helping hand
of another man in the hour of peculiar
need. Moreover, while they live, and
are not in special danger, two men may
gain tenfold power from one another
by means of the sympathy and counsel
and life-quickening assistance which
they render each to the other. ''Iron
sharpeneth iron; so !. man sharpeneth
the codntenance of his FRIEND" says the
Wise Man. An iron Instrument sharp
ened is fully ten timeA as effective for
its instrumental purposes as it could
be with a dulled edge; and since no
iron instrument can sharpen itself all by
itself, one iron instrument and another
iron instrument, sharpening one an
other by their clashing and mutual
rubbings, tenfold each others value
through being together. And as it is
with iron and iron, Sd it is with friend
and friend.
1t is hard to stand all by ones self,
battling a host without a human fellow
to speak a word of stimulus or cheer.
Not every man is capable of being an
Athanasius, to go against the whole
world when the whole world goes
against God. But when one true man
finds another true man by his side, the
two may be host in themselves; they
may, in fact, be all the world to each
other. Each is no longer one, nor are
the two merely two. Each is more
than one, and the two are many times
more than two. This thought it is
that gives point to the inspired sugges-
ton, that in the Lords service, in bat
tling with the world, eone' believer
shall "chase a Thousand, and two"
shall ''put ten thousands to flight E"
two having tenfold the power of one.
This truth is not a mere sentiment
it has practical basis in the necessi-
ties of the case. No man can be at
his own best, all by himself. He needs
the stimulus and the cheer of another
to bring his own best into action. His
powers can be at their full only in and
through their expression and they can
have expression only when expression
to another is called for. S. s. Times.

and to man as our brother; hence the
duty of supreme love to God, and sub
ordinate love to man. The first consti-
tutes religion, and the second morality.
Christian Ethics as the divine science
of duty, embraces both. They grow
out of different relations, and from diff
ferent roots, but in their perfect devel-
opment they are one.
Love destroys fear which is the source
of so much unhappiness. "Perfect love
casteth out all fear which hath tor
ment. He that feareth is not made
perfect in love-" 1t is this divine af
fection in active exercise which fills
life, the family, the home and society
with peace, joy, brightness, sunshine
and music. This principle overcomes
division, strife, discord, hate, and war,
and brings in concord, union, peace,
happiness and joy. Love will destroy
the sin, right the wrongs, redress the
grievances, soothe the sorrows, heal
the wounds, comfort the hearts, and
save the souls of men. The victory of
Christ is the victory of love, and the
reign of Christ is the reign of love.
Under its reign the day of salvation
will dawn for all men.
Salvation by love is the divine meth
cd of saving the race. 1t is the out
growth of Gods nature, and is justified
by his wisdom. 1t is adapted to the
nature and wants of man, and is in har-
mony with the perfection, character,
and relations of God. The infinite love
of God will save all men from all sin.
Under it's influence all rightness, JUS
tice, holiness, purity, temperance, and
benevolence will be developed. Man
will come into union and communion
with God, and society will be filed
with peace, benevolence, sympathy,
good will, kindness, gentleness, pa
tience and love.

strip not the leaves and colored bios
SONS from the stems, lest fruit and
| trunk and root and all should soon be
wanting-lest the ground open and
swallow up what might have been a
habitation for the birds of the air, a
refreshing shade for the beasts of the
field, and perpetual garner of good
things for man.
Standing on the philosophy of cause
and effect then, as on rock, | entreat,
1 warn the reader not to despise the
needful ceremonials with which the
unimpeachable wisdom of Jesus en-
dowed his religion. And as to the
ceremonial of blessing little children
in his name, the disciples put in their
negative probe when they rebuked the
mothers who brought them. Then the
| Master sealed the custom with en-
phasis when he said, "Suffer them to
come, and forbid them not, for of such
is the kingdom of heaven. And he
took them up in his arms, put his hands
upon them, and blessed them" And
the Christian religion has nothing to
lose, we have nothing to lose and
our children have nothing to lose,
by perpetuating the example, but
much every way is to be gained. Such
common and simple things are a part
of the condiment and economy which
keep Christianity alive in the world.
And how my heart aches and my
brain aspires to impress upon the read
er the necessity, the overpowering
necessity of planting and ENGRAVING
childhood into the church-and into
the church we love. Never sbonld we
forget that Mohammedanism once
forced and trained the children Of
Christians to overturn and enslave
Christian nations. A great Roman
bishop declared, "Give me the Protest
ant children of a single generation, and
l will plant the Vatican on American
soil" If we would kill the church-if
we would wither particular brand or
sect of the church, then send childhood
and youth away. 1t is the dripping Of
blood from hand and foot and brain
and heart and lungs. 1t is absolute
and fatal and murderous ecclesiastical
suicide. And more, it spots our off
spring with moral leprosy, besides ruin
ing the patronimical institution. 1t
cheapens loyalty to conviction. 1t
turns principle into convenience, or
currency to purchase favor or pleasure.
1t says, practically, that one church is
as good as another, and they all have
but little value. And so to preach one
thing and practice another, in religion,
is an open door to the same vice in
morals. And so customs and methods
and manners and fashions in religion,
become schoolmasters to general loose
ness of manhood in after life. What we
truly respect our children are inclined
to respect.
Let our convictions therefore appear
to be important because they are so.
Let ourselves be the custodians of the
family, and the training of the family,
till they have scared from the paternal
roof. Let not the little ones be reared
to be given away before their time,
their young hearts to be planted with
known errors, and themselves schOoled
to ridicule and despise the faith of the
home. They may turn yet again and
rendus-and the matricide of the heart
is the worst of all.

THE CHRISTIAN LAW OF LOVE.
BY Rev. WV. fss D..
Mount Gilead, o.

Christianity as a system of theoret-
ical and practical religion gives great
prominence to love. God is revealed
to us as love. 1t is the central attri-
butte of the divine nature and the con-
trolling law of divine action. "God so
loved the world that he gave his only
begotten Son that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish but have
everlasting life" Herein is love, not
that we loved God but that he loved
us and sent his Son to be the prop
itiati on for our sins" The advent
work and suffering of Christ, is not the
cause, but the revelation of the love of
God. Christ is the gift of the Fathers
love for man. This love of God for
man is universal and interchangeable.
1t is the source and fountain of all
the bOunties of his providence and all
the provisions of his grace. 1t is the
divine and efficient cause of our saliva
tion. The root of all sin is selfshness.
Salvation from sin demands the de-
struction of selfshness and this can only
be accomplished by love. 1--WE love
him because he first loved u.s. Love
aWakens and enkindles love. The love
of .Gcd for man revealed in Christ
awakens in mans heart love for God
and his fellowmen, and this destroys
mans selfshness and sin, which is saliva
tion. This presents Gods method of
salvation as grounded in the spiritual
philosophy of mans nature, wants and
relations. This divine method is re-
yealed in the Bible and verified by all
Christian experience.
Love is one of the fruits of the
Spirit. The spirit of God is the spirit
of love, and wherever the spirit of love
operates, it will produce love for God
and man.
1t is made the evidence that we have
passed from the death of sin unto the
life of righteousness. "We know that
we have passed from death unto life
because we love the brethren" 1t is
the evidence of our discipleship to
Christ. by this shall all men know
that ye are my disciples if ye love one
another" 1t is the proof that we are
born of God. He that loveth is born
of God and knOweth God" 1t is the
evidence of personal piety. "If we love
not our brother, whom we hath seen,
how can we love God whom we hath
not seer? ?" "If a man love God, then
should he love his brother also" The
very life Of true piety is love for God,
and the essence Of morality is love for
man.
Love embodie5 the divine law OF
duty. Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, with all thy
mind, and with all thy strength; and
thy neighbor as thyself." "On these
two hang all the law and the prophets. -
"Love is the falflling of the law. 4"
Duty is the measure Of obligation and
obligation grows out of our relations.
We are related TO God as our Father

CONSIDERATION OF CHILDREN.
BY REV. A. A. THAYER.
Dosage, Iowa.

AS matter of utility, is there any
good in the conservation of children
after the Scriptural custom? We may
never forget that there must needs be
form in religion no less than form of
law. The essence of religion is love, it
is true. But even love without express
sion is such a negative virtue that it is
difficult to find its blessedness. An
innocent religious rite should express
an intent. Should mother consecrate
her son to Napoleon Bonaparte we
should suppose that she intended to
make warrior of him. Should she
dedicate him to John Howard, we
would expect her to stimulate in him
the spirit of philanthrOpist. If its
infant life were blessed in the name of
Washington we should apprehend that
she would mature the noblest patriot
ism and the grandest manhood. But
in the use of the name of Jesus she
honors the completest virtue that was
ever expressed by being in the flesh.
1t is the expression of an aspiration
that her child should become Chris
tian. The mothers ideal is expressed
in the act.
And now do we inquire what good
l reply that no human ingenuity can
estimate the comprehensive and al
most omnipotent power of language.
The Romans knew how to de-national-
ize conquered people by educating
them to forget their barbarOus Ian
guage. The Germans have used this
wisdom in regard to Lorraine, even as
the Russians did with the Polanders.
The subjected are required to speak
the language of the conquerors, and so,
in few generations, forget their pat
ronymics and their freedom and ma
tionality. The native tongue is BAN
ished for the purposes of fOTgetfulness.
And the same is largely true of the
domestic and social customs of the
conquered. They, too, must be absorb
ed to accomplish the forgetfulness of
the past. Now, therefore, to drop out
of our lines, out of this generation,
the customs, the ordinances, and the
language and names and rites of the
New Testament-what would it be
but to e-Christianize the people, and
uncouple Christianity from the active
forces of the age If an angry father
would have the household forget and
repudiate his cast-off son, he requires
the family not to mention his name
not to call up a reminiscence- to-
bring forth any reminder of his ex-
istence. Now, if the power of the land
despised our Lords religion and would
blast it with oblivion, let all communion
tables be burnt to ashes-let tankards
and goblets and plates be melted into
their original elements-let baptisms
be Outlawed-let the conservation and
naming of children in respect for Jesus
be legally prohibited, and 50 Danish out
of sight the common and simple insignia
of the Masters Gospel, and how long
would Christianity tarry on the earth?
Take away all its forms, and what
should hold its spirit? AS readily
keep the soul of thy mother after you
have entOmbed her body. What though
these things do appear to us as the
leaves and snowy blossoms of a sys-
tenn of divinity. Yet l warn you,

ONE AND ONE ARE MORE THAN
TWO.

Even in cold hard mathematics, a
unit gives or gains added power beyond
its intrinsic value by its position with
reference to another unit. One and
one put together become not two, but
eleven. And if it be the fact that in
the realm of this exact science a unit
tenfOlds the value Of another unit, and
adds its own value to it besides, simply
by its juxtapOsition with that other
unit, who will question that, in the
sphere of being and doing, one person
and one person brought into right re-
lations to each other are more by far
than two persons or that their aggre-
gate power is more than doubled

for raising hops, and that Nevada
raised hops command just double
the price of California hops in the
San Francisco market. He esti-
mates that 5000 an acre can be
cleared on hops in this State if
properly handled, and when once
they take root they need no further

| On the 29th ult. there appeared il
the San Francisco Chronicle a notice
headed married on Probation, y
which was vile and malicious SANDER
upon the fair name and reputation
of my daughter. Daily expecting
that retraction of the article would
be demanded by Mr.. Dunlap and be
published in the papers that gave
the falsehood publicity. | have until
the present refrained from noticing
it. The true facts arc as follows
About two years ago in San Fran
cisco, where my wife and family were
then residing, Mr.. Dunlap and my
daughter became engaged with the
understanding that the marriage
should not take place for period of
two years. Thereafter myself and
family, including my daughter, re-
moved from that city to Bodie, CAL.
and remained there for about one
year and half, and then came to
Carson City. Nevada My daughter
has always resided with her parents
until the 29th of last month, when
she left for San Francisco, accom-
panied by her brother. and was mar
ried to Mr.. Dunlap the day Of her
arrival. The differences to be drawn
from the notice as published in the
San Francisco papers were absolutely |
false and untrue, and unjustly re-
fected upon The good name of my |
daughter, and has caused much grief,
and sorrow to myself and |
family. Justice demands that the
foul SANDER should be emphatically |
and publicly denied.
