Canadian Railroad Riot,

News has reached Montreal of q serious
riot in the county of Compton, Canada. Con.
tractors on a section of the Hereford branch
railroad drew a check for $25, 600 from the
company on account of construction and left
the country with the proceeds. They had in
their employ over 700 Italian laborers, who
had not been paid O cent of wages since Aug.
l and were in O destitute condition. As soon
as the duped foreigners learned of the
departure of their employers they became
desperate, and when the railroad Company
attempted to resume the work of constTuc-
ton they fatty refused to do a stroke and at
once began destroying all they could lay their
hands on. They soon took possession ofthe
village of Sawyerville, and threatened ode
stroy it unless they were paid. "A party Of
citizens, with some Hungarians employed By
the railway company, interferred TO save
lowed. OpA italian and four Hungarians were
killed, jtis reported, and between thirty and
forty Injured.
Italian nayies, now assembled at Pan
quetteville on the border between Canada
and the United States, chased off q track
laying gang working on the Canada side,
on the American side. The Italians have
encamped themselves at Panquetteville and
vicinity, and hold in their possession p mum
Der of construction cars and other
material, having placed o strong guard
over them. They removed q number of rails
from the ties, after having chased away the
track layers. So far they have not crossed
into the United Stated, but threaten to kill
General Manager Sweet should he cross over
into Canada.
There appears to be little or no ammuni-
ton among the volunteers, who have been
called upon for assistance, the Sherbrook
battalion having had to send 200 rounds
all that was in their possession. Several
cases ofammunition, however, are on the way
from Montreal The Hereford railway, now
under construction, is to run from Sawyer.

JESUS AND THE COMMON PEOPLE.

1t must be written down as one of
the greatest merits of Christ and his
philosophy, that the common heart Of
the world was never lost sight Of. 1t
was said of him that the common peo-
pie heard him with gladness. One fault
that was found with him was that he
would sit at the same table with publ
cans and sinners. He took the children
in his arms. His was an example of
the sensitive soul, unspoiled by artificial
manners. That he appreciated the
beautiful in all its forms there can be
no doubt. His parallels show with
what open eye he looked upon ali the
processes of nature. The waving tree,
the lightning, the harvest field rustling
in the wind, the bird, the flower, the
grass, the sunrise, the sun setting in a
bank of fire-tipped clouds, are all used
as illustration of the thought he sought
to convey. But in all his love for the
beautiful he never lost sight of the null
titudeof sad and sinful hearts all around
him. His good taste did not rob him
of sympathy. His sensitiveness led him
toward the world and not away from it.
His culture took the form of love for
the uncultured, not that of personal
vanity and criticism.
There is nothing could be more help
ful to these days and make them more
glorious than to find all culture-the
power Of intellect and the power of
taste turning toward the world in its
sadness and sin to help it instead of
turning away from it to despise it. The
culture which widens the abyss between
the different classes is harmful; the
culture which bridges the ehasm is
divine. To be able to "think clear" is
a noble attainment; but it is no more
noble than tobe able to feel deeply foI
all who are the victims of misfortune
and woe. We may be glad of every ad-
dition to the ranks of those who are
acquainted with the best that has

An interesting figure in the Amsr-
lean colony of London, is Mrs. Ernestine
L. Rose. She was one of the first Amer
ican women to publicly voice the cause of
women's rights. She lived in Michigan,
and as early as 1886 addressed the State
Legislature in person on the subject of
woman's enfranchisement. AS long as
she remained in this country she was
foremost in the movement, and even now,
when too feeble to move from her home,
sends letters of encouragement across
the water to the women who are in the

no doubt often the cause of the rebel
lion. Still there may be cases in which
no reasonable amount of "sweeG rea-
sonableness " could wholly reconcile

Sabbath-observance sentiment has been
lowered by the desire which some
minds have, to go little farther than
others have gone. One expresses him
self in favor Of greater laxity, and an
other feels bound to go a little farther
in order to maintain reputation for
''liberality," and so it goes. The edu-
cative effect is great upon the young Of
the speech and example of men holding
high political position, yet without
moral Or religious principle; men who
do not hesitate to degrade the moral
law, and their official position, either
from their own carelessness, or inclina-
ton, or to make parade of their con-
tempt for the sentiment Of Christian
people in this respect for purposes Of
demagogism. All these have been
powerful causes during the last twenty
FIVE years, and are to-day powerful
causes tending to render Sabbath senti-
ment and Sabbath observance more and
more lax among the American people.

do not ignore the worst that is happen

From the cultured classes should go
out great company Of mediators and
saviors, who have heard the cry of the
more needy, and are hurrying to give
assistance, as, in the parable, the father
ran out to meet his needy and penitent

when the strong help carry the weak
forward. 1t is system OF mediation.
The high must stOop to help the low.
The few who are learned must impart
to the unleaTned; the few who are free
must help remove the shackles from
those who are bound; the pure must
help the sinful.
True culture is the unfolding of all
the best powers of life. 1t not only adds
breadth to the intellect, but adds depth
and warmth to the heart. Once relig-
ion needed culture to free it from it's
naIrOwness and its nonsense. Now
culture needs religion to free it from
its vanity and s9ldshness.-Reed Stuart.

THE BIBLE.
BY REV. e. D. JACOB :.
(Lapeer, Mich. }

To us the Bible is the gulf stream Of
the religious literature of the world.
OF the same nature with the surround
ing elemenJ-nOt river Of wine flow
ing through seas of milk, but of the
same nature and the same body and
substance with the elements of spiritual
life through which it moves, but with g
higher temperature, a stronger religious
impetus, more definite direction, cleav-
ing for itself a pathway through the
deep, and bearing in its fervid bosom
even into the farthest shores Of the
ages, something of its own tropical
Cline; melting away their ice with its
warm breath, chasing the frosts from
their Mills ard covering them with a
verdure and fruitfulness which elsewise
would have borne naught but moses
and lichens, Five thousand miles away
from their sunny birthplace the warm
waters of the Gulf of Mexico make
their influence felt against the frozen
la.titudes of Norway and the Farce
Isles, and at the distance Of well nigh
three thousand years, we still feel the
warm breath of Hebrew faith breathing
upon our faces.
Our church is the continuation of
the old Hebrew synagogue. Our Sun
day service is the continuation Of the
Hebrew Sabbath, and here in these
old -apaaxims- and anthems and pro-
phecies and precepts we yet feel the
olden current of Hebrew thought and
life pressing upon us, and bathing these
shores Of ours in the humid gales which
shook their solemn voices in the clefted
rocks Of Sinai. Who can tell how much
we owe to this book? Who can meas
ure its influence upon our day? Or tell
this day what Europe or America would
now have been had Moses not gone
into the heights of the holy mountain,
and, there craven the tablets of the law?
So let us cherish the old Bible. l think
it is none too much to say that it built
this church, that it has builded every
church in ChristendOm; that it has
consecrated this Sabbath day. That it
has put upon the lips of our fathers and
mothers the wisest and noblest words
they have spoken, and in their hearts
some of the kindest and hollest senti-
ments that ever dwelt there. That it
has left mankind the highest and holi-
est and sweetest ideal Of human and
divine life Of character and faith that
man has ever beheld.
For centuries it has held the place
of honor among all books, and alone
in undi9putsd sovereignty has sat thron-
ed on the altar Of the Christian church.
For centuries it has stood foremost in
the affections of millions and has been
the bond of sympathy between them,
and until another bona may be found
by which more hearts shall be united
in which duty shalt find nobler insp.ra-
tion, character a loftier ideal, virtue
truer maXims, until pity has warmer
tears, love has purer embraces, and
faith glader tidings of greater joy, let
us keep the old Bible on its throne of
prayer and trus. and hope.

SALVATION AND IMMORTALITY.
BY REV. G. L. WAITE.

In regard to salvation, Univer salism
insists upon the New Testament
meaning of the word, remembering
chat the word is nowhere used in the
New T estam ent to speak of escaping a
deserved punishment; and that the de-
clarea object Of Christ's mission was to
save men-not from penalty but from
sin. The same word in the New Tes
lament that is translated "healed," ;"
when referring to the body, is trans
lated" saved when applied to the soul;
and in one of the early English trans
lati0ns of the Bible the word now rem
dered salvation was translated esprit
ual health" Universalism accepts the
definition as expressing its own belief;
that as the body is healthy when free
from disease, so the soul is healthy, is
saved when free from sin, the disease
Of our moral nature. So the Uniyers-
alist idea Of salvation is, that instead
of being a method Of escaping from the
consequences of sins committed, 1t is
that spiritual condition in which the
affections are placed upon right things;
that condition in which we do right
because we are right. q condition of
true being; that we are most truly
saved when our affections are the
purest, our ambitions the most un-
selfish, our desires the holiest; when
the possession Of the Christ-like spirit
bears fruit in righteousness of life.
This salvation, then, is matter of
character; something that cannot be
put upon us from without, that cannot
come as the result Of the purely physi-
cal incident of death, but can only come
as the result of the free activity Of the
soul in the use of Gods appointed
means; and Universalism teaches that
the only salvation with which Christ
was concerned was this which has to
do with human character. This saliva
tiOn, then, will save us from punish
ment only as it saves us from the COM
mission of sin and so from the deserv-
ing of punishment. 1t will keep us
from hell only as it lifts us out of the
hell which is inherent in all wilful
transgression of the divine laws. 1t
will give us heaven only in the degree
that it produces a heavenly life in the
soul. Cnrist's merits will avail for our
salvation only as those merits attract
and win us to faithful dicipleship Of
his spirit. Faith will help us to this
salvation only when it is the faith in
divine realities which possesses the
soul and shapes the moral life. Re
pentance will help us to gain this sal
vation when it is born of such faith
and manifests itself in accordant

A remarkable announcement is
made by Messrs. Dent, the watchmakers
of London. In 1877 gold watch bear.
ing the monogram IN" was made by
their firm for the Empress Eugene for
presentation to the young prince. The
other day the battered back of the watch,
still bearing the monogram, was brought
to their establishment by Messrs. WE'LL &

years ago is had been bought by client
of theirs at Kimberley from Zulu, The
diamond-felds attract native workers

the broken remnant of the watch torn
from the poor elsin prince in that OBJ
seure Zululand donga where ne met his
death has found it's way to it's original

pass to the empress. Perhaps the Zulu
who sold the back plate was himself
participstor in that strangely improba-
BILE vet, as it turned out, possible drama
of death in which the imperial hope of
France fell so untimely.
