DR.. J. 2. Durbln on Holiness.

We publish the following extract
from an editorial in the Cistion Ad-
Uocate, of New York, published in
1888. DR.. Durbin was at that time
the editor of that journal:
Next TO the conversion of souls.
the leading on Of the church to the
perfection Of holiness (italics his OWN
should he the object of the minister
of Christ. The honor of Christ, the
prosperity of the Church, and the
happiness of individuals, all require
them to pursue this course. And
here we may inquire why so little
has been done in geference to this
object. 1t cannot be that the neces-
sity is not apparent. Look which
way you will, lukewarmness and the
love of the world are prevailing evils
among Christians. From the evil
roots which remain in them every
evil practice may spring up. to the
wounding of the cause of Christ, the
grief of the few truly pious. and the
exultation of enemies,-all Of which
evils would be prevented by the per-
fiction of holiness.
"Why, then, we ask. has so little
been done to perfect the saints? To
this we may answer. that little, com.
parativeIy. has been done to set the
subject fully before the Christian.
The evils growing out of this neglect
are frequently felt. and almost as fire..
quently palliated by saying, "That is
human nature,' we do not expect
perfection here,' or something to the
same effect.
"Sometimes. indeed. the duty of
perfecting holiness is asserted. but to
little effect, while Christians are
given to understand that they cam
not be perfectly holy in this life 1--WE
speak only of moral holiness nay,
that they can never rise above being
carnal sold under sin while they re-
main in the body.
"NoW, we cannot think that the
minister of the gospel does his duty
while he asserts the duty of holiness.
but offers no encouragement to expect
it. Holiness can only be obtained by
faith. If, therefore. we repress ex.
pectation, we repress faith, or rather
cut it up. root and branch. and in
duce state of lukewarmness as the
natural result of our erroneous in.
struction,"
"The views which the Scriptures
give us of the perfection of holiness
lead TO the conclusion that it is dis.
tinct thing from what is commonly
understood by regeneration distinct
not in nature, but in degree and in
its completeness. This being the
case, all who obtain regeneration
should be taught to seek that high
moral state of evangelical rigteous-
ness which the Scriptures describe as
the perfection of holiness. And if
they seek it with all their heart, they
shall obtain it. For IF we confess
our sins. he is faithful and just to for.
give us our sins, and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness."
"But how can this succeed without
the aid of the ministers ? These must
show the household of faith what is

A writer in the Woman's Journal suggest
that 1t would be an Improvement upon our
present system of voting to allow the voter
to send his ballot to the polling place by
mall. "Let the ballot be furnished to each
registered voter" says the correspondent,
"but, instead of going for 1t to a polling
booth, let it be sent by mail to each resi-
dence. There, in the quiet of home, would
be evoked the best thought and wisest con-
clusion. Women, of course, should be reg
istered the same as men. Who ever thought
of opposing woman suffrage except for mix
ing in promiscuous and undignifed gather
ings" This idea is not new to Maine. Hon.
A. W. Paine Of Bangor, has long urged upon
the people of this State the desirability of
establishing system of voting by proxy.
He used to bring the scheme before the leg

Present indications are that the Republi-

election. A few of the city leaders and .one
or two daily papers are favoring local OPP

without exception. These country papers

The anxiety Of Senator Morgan and the
other Democratic senators to rush through a
resolution recognizing the republic of Brazil
is somewhat mysterious. There is no con-
siderable Brazilian vote in this country. and
Mr.. Morgan comes from State and section
which does not seem to be deeply in love
with republican governments. Possibly his
idea was that a recognition at this time by
Congress might in some way em5arrass our
State department. 1t will be time enough to
recognize the republic. of Brazil when we
find out how much of a republic it is and
what are its chances Of permanency. at the
present time very little trustworthy infor.
nation on these points is to be had.

He would probably be turned back on the

when no man will be more welcome in Russia

has been far more than interesting and ad-

The point is raised against Secretary Win
dom's silver scheme that the government
would virtually go into the business of spec
ulating in silver should certificates be bought
and sold on the market value of silver
bullion. This would be SO, and the govern.
ment that should issue a certificate of dol
lars worth of bullion today, when silver is
selling at So say, would have to
give back for that same certificate
greater quantity of bullion six
months hence when silver may be at so.
Such possibilities would afford an opportu-
nifty for speculation with the government for
banker. But the silver question is beset
with difficulties under any schemes that
have yet been devised. The present law
makes the government a broker in silver
and the reaper of profit of from fifteen to
twenty-five cents on every dollar coined.

The Portuguese government is trying to
steer between Scylla and Charybdis, with a
good chance of getting shipwrecked before
the passage is made. England demands
that the doings of its agents on the Zambesi
river be repudiated, and threatens to resort
to force ii her demands are not complied
with; while the Republicans who have been
made bold by the successful revolution in
Brazil threaten to take advantage Of the un-
popularity of such surrender to overthrow
the empire and establish republic. To
fight England is out of the question. To af
front national pride at this juncture is ex-
ceedingly dangerous So the government is
trying to get the Zambesi matter submitted
to general congress of European nations.
England, however, is not likely to consent
to any such disposition of the question.
