REV. H. p. COLLIER.

"Who will say that Gladstone and Bis
marck and Bancroft and Lowell and 80
others 1 might mention are in danger from
their wine? If were to form a temperance
society would have that as one class, viz. !:
Those who propose to give up what they be-
lieve to be the evils of drinking, but not TO
give up drinking altogether. That is one
great thing that you can do without preiu-
dice and without the least fanaticism. An
other thing that can be done, and which
will do henceforth, is not to drink at all. So
long as intoxicants are not necessary to my
health, so long as it gives malicious people
an opportunity to hurt nv church and my
work and my great object in life, simply
cease doing what has never been important
to my happiness. 1t is said at once in
this matter that man who is tempted BY
another mans example is pretty
poor specimen, and 1 agree; but as there
may, perhaps, be such a specimen in the
vicinity, decline to be the example that
shall do him harm. This is something that
good many of you younger men might do
as we'll as not; it certainly can do no harm,
and it might do some good. And then, too,
it would be so refreshing, it would so cheer
the world to come across a little band of tee
totalers that were not bullies, and who did
not think that all their sins and shortcom-
ings were atoned for because they were tee
totalers. 1t will be delightful to see two
or three men who do not drink, and yet do
not brag about it, and have meetings and
professions and uniforms to celebrate their
virtue in this one respect, though they NAV
be profane and cruel and unkind in other
matters. This, it seems to me, would be a
good thing, and the other would be a good
thing for men, women and children: first, to
do what YOU think but to discountenance

THE VIEWS OF DIR. HODGE

concerning the non-use of termented wines
for communion purposes are important,
and therefore it is interesting for
church members to read what he
says about the subject. The Rev.
Archibald Alexander Hodge, DID,, LID,
in his popular lectures on Theological
Themes" treats the subject as follows:
"Wines, according to the unanimous, unex-
ceptional testimony of every scholar and
missionary, is in its essence 'fermented grape
juice Nothing else is wine The use of
wine is precisely what is commanded by
Christ in His example and by His authorita-
tive institution of this holy ordinance. Who
soever puts away true and real wine, or fer
mented grape juice, on moral grounds.
from the Lords Supper, sets himself up as
more moral than the Son of God who reigns
over his conscience and than the Savior of
souls who redeemed him. There has been
absolutely universal consent on this subject
in the Christian church until modern times,
when the practice has been opposed, not
upon the charge of evidence, but solely on
prudential considerations. Many Christians
have, however. mingled water with wine,
because it was an ancient custom probably
practiced by Christ himself, and also by
some because water mingled with blood
which flowed from His broken hear"

The examination of applicants for teach
ers' provisional certificates was continued
yesterday in this city and Allegheny. Su-
perintendent Luckey was experimenting
the examination at the High School. On
the 18th inst. the features were music. Or
biography, and physiology; yesterday gram
mar, composition and penmanship were
under review. There were 165 lady appli-
cants, 45 of whom were from the City
Normal School.
There are about $40 teachers in the city,
and very few of them are men. The girls
seem to have come to stay, and if they ever
take it into their heads to dig coal, puddle
iron. etc., it is hard to tell what will be left
for the man brute, unless it be to rock the
cradle and attend to the babies generally
and do chores.
Superintendent Luckey states that among
those 62O marms there are annually 80 to 40
who drop out of harness and their places
must be supplied. Then some of the appli-
cants are re-examined and go to the country
to teach if they can't find elbow room in the
city. There is a portentous suggestion in
the announcementofS Superintendent Luckey
that only 40 vacancies occur in year, less
7per cent. A girl who has get-up enough
in her TO make a schoolteacher, makes q
good wife, and either the young men of the
present generation are hopelessly stupid
or unequal to the task OF taking care of
families.
Few girls with sufficient sense to pass ex-
animation for teachers certificate will re-
fuse to marry the right man if he made the
offer. But merit is bashful and perhaps the
right men haven't courage to offer. DR..
George P. Hays, once President of Wash
ing and Jefferson College, said the trouble
with woman as a school teacher was that
when one proved herself good one, some
fellow was sure to find it out and, knowing
that good teacher made a good wife, las
seed her on the spot, and she was lost to the
school. 1t would seem that masculine dis
elimination Is decreasing.
The examinations were written yesterday,
and there was no chance for any fun in hear
ing incorrect answers. In composition each
was required to prepare the following for
the printer in proper shape.
when lieutenant Isle one of the most noted en-
glish officers that fell IN egypt was serving as
midshipman on a training ship storm occurred
during his watch and mast was swept away

you not send up man to trim the sail he de-
manded OF the young man should have lost
my own life if had gone to trim it was the re-
ply of the midshipman and will not send any
one where i dare not go myself a mans life is
certainly worth more than a mast the captain
replied with a volley of oaths but the next day
he came to the little midshipman in the pres
ence of the crew and said you were right and
was wrong mans life is worth more than

Assurance Tint In.ure..

A conspicuous example of the popularity
of the mutual system of life insurance, when
properly managed, is shown in the career of
the State Mutual Life Assurance Company
of Massachusetts,, which for nearly half a
century has M aintained a leading position
and is one OF the soundest and most reliable
companies in the world. The question that
most men ask to-day is not whether life in
surance is desirable, but which is the most
reliable company, and this is best answered
by long and honorable record that gives
assurance of permanency and reliability.
We believe that the management of the
State Mutual Life Assurance Company has
solved the problem OF furnishing perfectly
safe and reliable assurance at rates that are
in no way burdensome to the insured or cal
culated to afford the company anything
more than a reasonable profit, without which
no company can become permanent. Its
General Agent in this city, John D. Big
CERT, No. 81 Fourth avenue, has for 20 years
been identified with life insurance interests
and is considered authority on all matters
pertaining to the business and will cheer
fully furnish a full explanation of the work
ings and popular methods of this old and re-
liable corporation. We take great pleasure
in recommending the company and its rep
resentatiye to the public at large.

REV. LYMAN ABBOTT.

'This" (prohibition) ''was not the method
of Jesus. He lived in an age of total absti-
emphasized the distinction between His
method and that Of John the Baptist, by say
ing that John came neither eating nor drink
ing; the Son of Man came eating and drink
ing. He condemned drunkenness, but never
in single instance lifted MP His voice IN
condemnation Of drinking. On the contrary,
He commenced His public ministry by max
ing, as a miracle, wine in considerable
quantity and of fine quality, and this ap-
parently only to add to the joyous festivities
of wedding. He apparently used wine
customarily, if not habitually, and before
all the world; and He left as legacy and
example for His followers a sacred use of
wine in the most solemn service of His
church."

subjects our popular system to greater
strain than it will bear without peril of
change either in the direction of anarchy or
despotism. 1t overcharges the functions of
administration, causing on the one hand
disrespect for law and indifference to its vio-
lation, and on the other a demand for
stronger government with agencies of adj
ministration remote from popular control.
The knowledge that the final expression of
the public will is made in the administra-
ton OF the law tends to bereave our legisla-
thres of a sense of responsibility and honor
and make their acts in this regard hypocrit-
ical. 1t is besides, misapplication of the
forces of morality and religion in the effort
to reform society. There is a very impor-
tant distinction between law and morals
which the advocates OF prohibition seem to
overlook. Law is not intended to make
men good, but to prevent their becoming
bad. 1t is addressed not to the aspirations,
but to the prudence and fears of men. It
has been said with much truth that it would
be fatal objection to any law that it inn
piled high ideal. When the law has fin
ished its threat it has done its work. 1t can
do no more. The formation Of character
must be accomplished by influences which,
are distinctively moral-by motives ad.

Two Men Captured While Taking Lumber
From n shnrpsburg Yard.
George L. Walter caught two thieves in
the act of stealing lumber from his Sharps-
burg yards. He has been robbed of 81, 900
worth in all. One of the men goes by the
name of Sailor. His companion is named
c. Alexander Tair.
Gottlieb Kraft made dicker with Tair
for 20 boards at low price, and then noti-
fed Mr.. Walter. With an officer he
watched for the men. The men threw the
lumber into the river and foated down with
it to the Sharpsburg bridge. The officer
was in waiting and nabbed them. Most of
the lumber will be recovered.
