now TO BUILD A cHAEAcI.n

Man, SAYS the Presbyterian Journal is the
great builder of tho earth and his greatness
and glory are seen in what he builds. lie
builds houses to live in, roads TO travel ON,
bridges to cross rivers on, ships to sail on
the ocean and he builds towns and towers
and Chays<s md church cs and temples ana
palac : .nd cathedrals. The birds build
nests, tine beasts dens and the fish beds; but
in all the buildings of animals below man
there is never progress or Improvement,
Man may carry his building propensity and
power into his moral life, and build around
his inner self moral character, like hOuSo
olive IN; but that moral character, nus built
up, will not hc n religious life. man may
make himself more and more manly, but
hc cannot make himself gOdly. Goodness
is not an architectural structure punt
around q man, but "A life born within MN,
and its development IL by growth. IN thls
.nc point is found the difference between
tie moral character and the religious life.
Morality is mechanical compliance to The
letter II the law, but religion is vital con-
iOrmity with its spirit. The result al the
one is TO build up a character, Ike am W'hi,
tectural odilice, hy adding detached good
deeds and habits to one another by art ANA
rule: the result of the other is the develop
ment Of new hfr from the birth and
growth of u new vital energy implanted IN
the soul. The good young man that came
90 Jesus WAS very near the Kingdom OF
heaven, but he was outside OF ~.
He lacked one thuE-thc new birth.
You must be born again-born from above.
The moral life can never be built mp until
it rises into the religious life. Religion il
not an evolution out of morality. II is a
new life in the soul Of man, born from
above. Morality is an edllicc that has its
foundation on the earth, and is built up
toward heaven but it never reaches the
skies. Religion has its origin in heaven,
and dcscends into the life of man from the
life ofGOd. The moral character is tower
of Babel which men buld, yainly hoping
that by adding good works to good works
they will reach tho skies, ana escape the
floods of Gods wrath against their sins.
But God confounds the tongues Of men,
and the towers of their sclfrigh hteousness
fall to pieces. But the new life of holiness
reaches down from the throne of God and
enters into tho lives of men and lifts them
from the earth into heaven. Morality 10
good in its place, and good so far as 1t goes;
but it cannot be accepted in place of religion
because IL cannot go as far a. the skies.
There is whole realm of difference be-
tween it and religion; religion brings the
life of man into the realm of spiritual life,
while morality, when 1t has done the best
and all 1t can, still leaves the life Of man
within the realm OF spiritual death.

TEMPERANCE.

NEW YEARS BELLS.
The happy, happy bells
The gladsomc story tell,
And ring out her. a welcome clear
This frosty winter morn
To the bright youngest born
or tmc-the glad now happy yearl
May the young infant King
With peace and plenty bring
ReiCase from wrong and woe and pain,
And bless the just and right,
Downtroddon by the might,
Armed with the sword and gag and chain
Under his mighty sway
May we behold the day
or right and Righteousness advance
And vice and crime go down.
And may his regal crown
Wear the white plume OF temperance.

"wtrr fur Angels slNg ~

will the angels sing again
At this merry Christmas time.
And, auntie. snail | hear thcm''
While the bells In rhythmic chime
Urge the Christmas near, and nearer,
So the little one talks ON
II should like To hear them singing
Have thu angels really gomez
Childie. no' Sometimes IL seems
That our sin and care have driven
All tho beautiful bright angels
Far away from earth TO heaven.
But think they come again
Every Christmas time, nj least.
And that some can hear them singing,
While we keep the Christ-birth feast
For The angels are the servants
Ofthe Babe who is the King.
And the things that please our Saviour
Have the power 10 make them sing,
And ! should not wonder, dcaric,
lf, for all their faulty ways.
There are people who please Jesus
In these happy Christmas days.
Gentle ones, who into darkness
Bring the lamp of love fer light:
Strong and brave ones, who, like heroes,
Fight the battle of the right,
Aud the selfforgctiul people
Who grow old with others cares,
And the pure and sanity spirits
Whose whole lives are heightened prayers
Yes, and they who struggle nobly
To fOrsake and conquer sin,
Every one who from this Christmas
Does a better life begin
And they, too, who cast the burden
That has made their days all dim,
Down before the cross of Jesus,
And glad through faith in Him.
All, and they who have n sorrow
tLoSs, or weakness, or rcgrcO,
That not even merry Christmas time
Can help them to forget,
But who, still, resigned and patient
Love and trust through everything
Surely these all please our Saviour,
Aud 50 make the angels sing.
Do they hear the pleasant singing?
Nay, perhaps they miss the song
Through the noises that are near them
And the crowds that press and throng.
So they ask of peace and gladucss,
And the music whence they came,
But | think It is the angels
Singing ~ them, all th" same.
Win YOU hear hem An, my Garln~
You are likcllcr than
To receive into your spirit
Those sweet voices from the sky;
For Christ said about the children,
such the Kingdom ~ pi heaven y
And perhaps the sweetest music
To the little ones is given.
You shall join me in the wishes
Sent to all the friends We love,
That the best of Christian blessings,
Come tO them from God above
That tho days be bright and happy
In the presence of the King,
And that they may be the people
Who shall hear the angels sing.

MASSACHUSETTS Rum FOR AFRICA.


81 have directly learned says Dr. Dor.
chester, in tho CongregdtiOndiiSt, from tho
best authority, that Il distillery firm within
three miles OF tho Massachusetts state House
hasa contract 10 furnish 5000 gallons of rum
daily 70 the African trade for the next seven
years. This would be equivalent TO almost
one million gallons annually.
at will be a surprise 10 many to learn that
almost all the rum manufactured in the
United States is made within five miles of the
Massachusetts State House. During the last
six years the total quantity manufactured
and deposited in the dstilery warehouses OF
the country were IL, l33, iOI gallons. an av-
erage of l,S55,6l7 gallons yearly, of which
total the distillcres around Boston made 10,
900, 100 gallons, or ninety y-four per cent. of
all made in this country.
almost all the liquor sent from the
United States 10 Africa Is sent from Boston.
No other liquor than that most aCcurSod of
NIL liquors. BostOn's rum is sent from
America 10 the Dark Continent.
Thus the name of God is blusphemed
among the heathcn And while men ara
boasting of the progress of civilization, and
predicting the speedy conversion of tho
world, the so-calied Christian nations are
deluging poor. benightcd Africa with strong
drink. rs England has for Il generation been
flooding China with opium, and ~ destroy

verting one.
Is it not time to lit up the voice like u
trumpet and warn mon of the evil of such
ways that they may repent of their wicked
ness and escape the damuHtiOu of hels-

BARNUM ursETs STATISTICS.

small controversy is going on now
among certain English newspapers regarding
the duration Of life OF persons using intoxi-
eating liquors, and n recent issue of the Liv-
erpool Express says that according to the
statistics, L. T. Barnum. who is now in his
eightleth year, should have died twenty-six
years aud some months ago, his allotted age
being less than fifty-four years The same
paper further states that the total abstain
er,s average Of life, on statistical showing is
little over fifty-three years, while the mod
erate drlnker has ten years more OF life than
his totally abstemious brother
Barnum has been according 10 tho same
authority, IA teetOtaler for the last twenty
years and is mnnifestly defrauding the cont
pliers of statistics, or else play ing il very low
down on tho other total abstainers, whose
average life he is cutting down to Il frightful
extent by living 80 much beyond his rightful
statistical turn" As II matter OF fact. Mr.
Barnum has not tasted intoxicants for "A
period of over forty years mot twenty as
stated, and has many times knocked the con
ceit out of the national statisticians and all
their tables on this subject.-New Yorl:

CONSOLIDATION OF DEPARTMENTS.

Tho consolidation of departments was one
OF the most important advance steps of the
recent national convention of the W. G. r.
u. The rapid increase both in membership
and in the number of departments had made
this really imperative move in order Ia re-
ducethe size of the national convention.
There were also other advantages 10 be
gained, in the union of cognate and kindred
forces and tho greater concentration of ef-
fort thus assured. One department, that of
securing day of prayer in the week of
prayer, had 50 thoroughly done its work
that there was no further need Of it, there
being now, IN consequence OF It's efforts,
scarcely "A religious body in all the land that

uonal committee asking for temperance

Mp. EDITOR:
You say in your issue Of the 9th inst.
Our swollen pension list, taken iu counec-
tiOn with our small army, costs the country
more than the huge German army and
pension lists of the wars OflS66 and ls70-7l -

proaching correctness
Yours Respectfully, EA-oULDiEE.
"Ex-Soldier," it seems, challenges
the statement in our last issue and
demands proof. We haven't access to
the hles in the Archives at Washington
but those who have make such state
ments. We have seen these compare
tive figures in several of our leading
papers, and have not seen them chal-
lenged. Finally the figures we pub
lished appeared substantially as we
gave them in the american, Wharton
Barker's paper. of Philadelphia. He
from his relation to the party of the
Administration and in sympathy with
the soldiers, and guarded in his state
ments, we thought would hardly make
such statement unless it were true,
and opposed it only because he con-
sidered such enormous expenditures a
prodigal use of the nations means, and
prodigality is an injury to both the
giver and receiver. If "Ex-Soldier'
can prove by the figures that the state
ment is wrong, let him do it, and set
the matter right.
