feel that this declaration was especially dart

different language and different race pecul-

runner of some decided stand the church au.
thorities may take in the future against
French-Canadian congregations who always
desire clergymen of their own nationality.

Here is q little story which shows tha!

would be the best flower for the nation
to adopt, he said:
"Why, that HaXall brand is way
ahead of every thing else, and is the
only kind that's fit to be the national
-four"

to tic Barnwcl! lynching was, on tn,
whole, conscrvative-in part not SC

Reflections for January IL, 1880.


Dear Ncighbor:
Almost every day brings with ii i'll
cidents confirming the necessity OF
your existence, and vindicating the
wisdom of disseminating the nrinci-
pies upon which that existence is has
ed, in order to develop and bring oft a
higher order, and Il better type Of nlall-
hood, and Christian civilization.
Only the other day in Barnwcll oc-
Cured an incident rs black, brutal and
diabolical us anything could we'll be,
even beyond the borders of Christen-
dom, and if any thing should impress
itself upon the better class of citizens
among us, it should he thc Importance
of giving growth and force to the sen
timents vindicatcd year after year Ill
the columns Of the NEIGlIBOR, "Icace
Oh earth and good will toward men,"
If Christ had sway among us, and
the principles of the NElGIIBoE COLI
trolled the actions of man, we would
not have mon murdered, and then as Il
sequel to that, men led out by brutal
MODS and lynchcd under the sable
mantle of night.
Christ's Kingdom is q kingdom Or
light, and contends for lcace on carth
first last and all time. Some method
must be adopted to realize this end.
Arbitration would bring to the world
4 system of law and government, il
once made law, which would do
more to lessen crime, lessen expense,
and vindicate justice, than any thing
that could he done. 1t would greatly
lessen the temptation felt by most law
yers, to play sharp tricks, and win il
they can.
We would soon have less lawyers,
less expensive court, less dissatisfac-
ton after the adjournment Of court,
and less lynch law.
o that the sentiment Of the NEIGH
BoR could be given more force, and
have a greater circulation among men,
and thereby make Christ's kingdom
the dominant kingdom of this world.
1t is the need of our times, and too
much emphasis cannot be given to it,
as an all important demand.
One of the nOblcst and pest utter
auces in w. w. Wadsworlh's new
book, "The Coming Kingdom," is
when he says. Christ's "plan and work
for Israel, were pre-em incntly spiritu'
al, aud came in direct conflict with tho
prevalent view.
The maintenance of this Truth tc
the end cost him His life. Christ bc.
fore PLATE saying, Ny kingdom is not
of this world, for then would my SET
wants fight shows conclusively that
His conception Of the universal reign
of peace, with tie white-wingcd dov,
lowering above its spotIess banners
could never have been born of TIC
spirit of the times, when the eagle
with outspread talons, ready TO devour
stood as royal emblem OF the domi
mating power of the world"
Dear NEIGIIBOR, may this be to YOU
a year Of great growth and prosperity
and may the day be not far Oft, when
the motto and sentiment Under which
you are working, shall be tho motto
and sentiment of every paper in this
great Commonwealth.

One of the most common mistakes
made in putting up new belts is in get
ting them entirely too tight. The
man knows that new belts stretch :,
good deal for q time after being put in
to use, and unless made very tight at
first soon require taking up: so he
makes them us tight as they can be
made to go on the pulIeys. regardIe.::
of the fact that tbs excessive tension
pulls the belt into short crooks, de-
stroys its elasticity, Injuries the ma
chine on which it runs, and is very
wasteful of power.

Npm JTOrL. 1drOcufc,

Some men seem to think that they
have a special mission TO rcbuke sin
and point out faults. They never sec
the bright side of life, nor of anything
in the world. Their attitude with ref
erence to their heighbors and the
Church leads them to eNaggera'e the
evil, and they bccome unreliable in
judgment and speech. Such men
think they are following out their con-
victions, when they are only following
out their prejudices. They have such
horror of moral cowardicc tliat they
become social nuisances.

AN EXPERIMENT WITH GRIT.

AN EXPERIMENT WITH GRIT.-
You may suppose that because your
hens have the run of range, they
procure all the gravel they desire, and
so they can-of round gravel-but as
the run may have been searched over
for months, and perhaps years, the
supply of sharp material may be scarce
TO test this, break up some glass, cid
china or other brittle material, aud no.
tice the avidity with which the hens
will eat 1t is just as necessary to sup
ply the hens with grit rs it TO provide

Any Church can be all cvanSriistie
center, and any pastor an evanselist!c
preacher, if there be a will. Wcs;.ey.s
motto, "All at it, and always at ii" is
the key to the problem. The preacher
must lift up Christ. Let us MT be
afraid of the repetition which Sidney
Smith regarded as the secret Of inn
preston. The word "inclination" is
full of ethical suggestion. 1t means to
tread in with the heel (incdtr). Men
never tire of hearing the old, old sto-
ry. 1t is the old, but only, remedy for
sin and sorrow.

What Others Say.

ut is O curious fact that we are cs-
tablishing q code of conduct in the po-
litical arena that is not only different
from but antagOnistic to that of The
moral rule which governs the lndIvld-
ual in his private transactions. The
man who would resent as ali insult the
proposition even to commit sWlndle
or aid in a theft will swing his hat with
cheers over q successful crimlnality OF
his party. The average member OF
Congress will tell you frankly, without
thinking, that it cost him not less than
five thousand dollars to secure his seat.
That same member would knock you
down for intimating that he had the
like sum, obtained through the same
process, in his dwelling or business.
when, for example, the heaviest NAH
ufacturer of agricultural implements
i'm Ohio called his workmcn together
previous to the late election and SAID,
INV men, I have no wish to influence
your votes, but if Grover Cleveland j.
elected President, no more smoke Will
issue from those chimneys," he was
applauded by his party for having
done a clever thing. That same man,
when charged subsequently with put
ting his company's money in rascal
ly wheat deal, that sent the president
of bank to the penitentiary, resented
the charge with the indignation OF an
honest man. And'yet the moral tuI-
pitude of the two transactions IS great
Iy in favor of the Fidelity Bank"
