A RECEIPT IN FULL.-Do you re
member the story Of Martin Luther
when Satan came to him, rs ht
thought, with long black roll Of his
sins, which truly might make swad
ding band for the round world ? Tc
the arch-enemy Luther said, "ies,
must own to them all. Have you any
nlore"" The accuser Of the brethren
being expert in the business, soon sup
piled him with further length O.
charges, till there seemed to be no enc
to it. Martin waited till no more were
forth coming, and then he cried
"Have you any more?" "Were moi
these enough ?" Aye, that they were
"But,n said Martin Luther, write a
the bottom of the whole account: 'Tht
blood Of Jesus Christ cl: anseth us from
all sin.'" Brethren, this was areceip
in full, stamped in such manner tha
even Satan could not question the cor
rectncss of it.

Prof. Murray, in the Nonictic Re
ricw, says The prai:c of having
been thc first 10 lead of in, and the
nnost re>outc to persist in the anti-sia-
very reform, does not hc!ong to the
Christian Church. History will have
20 record that here she WAS not faithful
to her high commission that she halt
ed when Others advanced; that she
was timid, and bowed to m0Gcy power
or pDlitical eXpedicnces and that the
real heroes of that great movement
were mel WHO, in some instances,
went out of the church, rather than he
Il party to her dilatory, vacillating poll
,cy. Lei the lesson never be forgotten.
Let the church Of Christ lie spared Il
second such disgrace" And yet there
is Grca! danger that the church will
fall into this saline error, with reference
TO the liquor evil. There is So much
capital and influence behind this evil,
that the eyes of many are blinded, and
nGlnv voices that ought TO Lc raised in
thunder tones against This iniqnity, are
either faint or silent. 1t is the most
Formidable foe Of the church. Its ten
dtncy is 10 blast and destroy every
thing that the church holds dear. 1t
is blasting and running many souls
that should be ornaments and pillars
in the church Of God. The friends Of
the church should, for the honor of
Gch, and the gooi OF humanity, come
to the front in the c0ntcs. against this
foe To all Fiat i, GOOD, take an unmis-
taxable attitude, and speak in no un-
certain tones. Jet us not have a repe-
tilion of tie attitude of the church III

ABOUT PAID FOR PREACH1NG.-
Unu's Millions contains capital pa
per by Hudson Taylor on "Divine
Strength" and Maurice Harrison, OF
CAek Kiang, writes splendidly on
paid native agents. This is short eX-
tract from the latter: "The man
whose bread is made sure has little to
keep his energies alive, unless he is an
Out-and-out man; SO, when he is away
from the eye of the foreigner there is &
tendency to step into life of indo-
lence on the other hand, the man
who must be about, SO as to get his
rice, is more likely 10 preserve his
physical and mental activity, and
when he has these he has better
chance of showing the world the pow
er of the Gospel. The Chinese need to
see reproductions Of the living Christ.
A few words of eXhortation from men
or women living pure, upright lives
have more power than hundred nice
ly drawn up addresses Of the paid
agent. China is groaning under fine
takers; her books are full of it.
What she needs is the grace of God to
iUe her fine talk"
TIE MONEY PowER-ITs DANGER.
|-IIa,pcr's Weekly says: "The Senate
of the United States is in great danger
OF losing public respect because OF its
evident ten( ency to become a club OF
rich men, and because of such singular
ignorance Oh the part of some of its
members"
The New York World, under the ii.
tie, THE Money Power has Invaded
tic Senate" says: q Formerly, and
not long ago, pre-eminent talent for
the public service, the highest charac-
ter for honor, a wide knowledge of the
history and science Of government, or
great debating and oratorical power,
was necessary to secure an election in
the United States Senate. For seven
ty years the roll of the Senate was a
rcll of fame. To-day considerable
portion of its members owe their chiet
distinction to their wealth."
We commend to our preachers this
gem from the Southwestern Methodist :
The love Of the truth as taught in
the Word, is the support of the preach
er. If he study effect, his work will
be superficial, his own life superficial,
and his zeal as q minister will decay
with his youth, or be measured only
by the apparent appreciation of his
hearers. But one who finds in truth
the reward of his toll and the food OF
his soul, will ever esteem it the highest
privilege to be permitted t. follow his
holy calling. His faith will always be
strong and his soul will always be
young.

THE MOTHERS HOUR.-There is a
lost hour among housekeeping women,
All hour which is lost in the way GER
tain arts are--so lost, indeed, that there
seems to be very little likelihood that it
will ever be found This is the "hour
to herself,n for which every mother OF
Il family longs in vain. She used to
know what it WAS to have little time
entirely herown, now and then, in the
DAYS Of girlhoou; but matron's duties
lave absorbed her life completely, and
she never knows what it Is to be secure
from interruption, even for so short a
time as is required for the writing OF q
letter. Very often this is her own
fault, for fault it is in spite Of the all
gclic qualities which go to make many
women pack-horses of patience and
long suffering in their own homes.
Peace is so much better than war
that we must rejoice ut every step of
progress towards the disarmament of
nations even if the motive urging it
be only selfish, materializing eXpedien-
cy. CunImtrcc and war arc Of nccessi-
ty hostile 10 each other. Only 4 few
men resemble Si;Obpleii' in loving war
for it5 own sake more wish it for OPP
por;unities Of prcierment and glory.
BHt the great mass Of mankind are on
ly drawn into it, in this age, by appeals
to their patriotic pride; or, a5 ii is
more cuphoniously called, love of
cOulIiry.
Every reform, however. Which has
any other auimating spirit than that
of The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ,
lacks the main factor required for L
permanent elevation of mankind
