PERNICIOUS READING.
Opinions OF the Eloquent spGrgeon-Ths
Colportage Business.

COlpOrtage Business.
Presiding recently over tbs twenty
second annual meeting of the Metro
politan Tabernacle COlpOrtage Associ-
alton. Rev. G. Ii. Sturgeon dwelt upon
the statement in the report that the
vendors of pernicious literature had
been bold and aggressive of late,
especially in the dissemination of for
eign novels, and pointed out that the
chief aim of that organization was
to counterfeit the evil by the
circulation of books of religious
and healthy tone among all
classes. This colportage business.
he declared. was a Necessity of the
Christian Church. Bad literature
must be met. 1t could only be met by
the production OF good literature, and
in certain directions good literature
would never 60 unless it was carried.
They had to create the demand as we'll
as to supply it; and in country dis
tricts, where the population was too
sparse to support n bookseller, good
writing would never be read except
it was carried by cOlporteurs. He had
no personal knowledge of the fact. but
he was constantly being informed that
English literature, in the shape OF
stories and novels. was fearfully bad,
and that even Christian households
were being corrupted by the semi
obscenity of many novels that were
being sold at present. He preferred
history. natural history and travels
himself; but since people would read
fiction, he felt glad when he
saw something that was thor
oughly sweet and instructive. There
were such books. There were others
that were as fascinating as the azure of
serpent's scales, but aS deadly as the
poison of an adder's fang. 1t must be
so, otherwise people who dabbled in
novel reading would not feel COM
PEELED to write asking him to raise his
voice against it. One way of raising
his voice against it was by totally
abstaining from the sin himself. 1t
was no use for man merely to stand
in the church and protest against re-
ligious error. But novels should not
be read, but should be let rot by them
selves. He could not understand why
a man should drag himself through
filth for the sake of telling other
people what it was like. Colportage,
however, was a great deal more than
a mere attempt to meet bad literature.
A colporteur went from door to
door. and his excuse was that he had a
right to sch his Bibles and Testaments
and sound magazines as well as any
other tradesman. He preached as
often as he could on the village green.
and sometimes occupied the pufpit in
little chapel where, perhaps. the
people could not support a Noncon-
formist minister. Beside that, q
colporteur was always temperance
man. and was ever ready TO call upon
the sick or pray by the bedside of the
dying. He thanked God that such an
association as that existed in their
midst to watch over the souls of men
who otherwise might be altogether
neglected, and he fervently prayed
that pious Christians would do their
utmost to extend its usefulness

"The signs OF the times" says b. o. Lit
tletield, "are hopeful for the ultimate
triumph of the principles contended for by
the great labor organizations All that has
prevented its accomplishment years ago is
the fatal tendency of labor organizations to
quarrel among themselves, thereby dividing
their strength and causing them TO fall an
easy prey TO their oppressors. The recent
conference between the Knights of Labor
and the American Federation of Labor, the
two leading organizations of the United
States, was u step in the right direction, and
the harmony ana mutual concessions, which
characterized the meeting, auger well for
the future success of the movement so de-
voutly hoped for by all friends of labor 1t
is to be hoped that the next conference of
these two great wings of the labor party will
witness the consummation OF the movement
for the unitication of these organizations
whose aims and objects are in most RESPECTS
Identical.

When the worlds first great westward yoy-

Whittier he felt all his life-current stir,
Though knowing not unto what place he
went,
One day, no land in sight, his grating keel
Reported shoals; the unconscious vessel
slid
Across, nor heard the grinding sands reveal
The secret of the coast beyond them hid
He drifted past, though waif OF leaf and bird,
Floating and hIttering after, bade him stay;
Vague invitations everywhere he heard;
BY hopes own dazzling glamour led astray,
lie landed on an Islands rim, nor guessed
How nearly he had won his larger quest.
Alas the dumb inscrutable human sea
That will not tell us of the shores we seeki
Its jealous waves, in moaning mockery,
But Just returned from pressing blue

Against fresh roses blown for u.s. unseen,
In our own realm, that never will De ours,
Though through the starry dusk all night we
lean,
And, unaware, breathe balsam from the
flowers,
And feel its soft mists wrapping US around,
And hear far, wave-tossed voices whisper
From some dim bourne beyond the horizon'a
