PERSECUTION.

Persecution in its various forms is
only the development of a principle
which must unavoidahly exist until
either Christianity OF human nature
be altered. There is a necessary re-
pugrance between Christianity and
human nature One must be changed
before it will combine with the other.
We fear that this is, in q degree, an
overlooked truth, and that men are
disposed TO assign persecution to
local or temporary causes. But we
wish you to understand that "the
offence Of the cross" has not ceased,
and cannot cease. We are willing
TO allow that the form under which
the hatred manifests itself will be
sensibly affected by the civilization
and intelligence OF the age. II days
of an imperfect refinement and :
scanty literature, you viii find this
hatred unsheashing the sword and
lighting the pile; but when human
society Is at 4 high point of polish
and knowledge, and the principles OF
religious toleration are well under

cifRIsrs j METHOD oF TEACHING.
jesus Christ gave His disciples
q new method of reading the land
seape and ali natural objects. He
turned nature into a great book Of
Illustration ard made IL preach the
doctrine Of trust in the divine
Fatherhood. He spoke of the
lilies as pledges Of Gods care, and
pointed to the fowls as AN iilustra-
ton Of Gods watchfulness over all
life. liz babe His disciples con-
slider these things and lay them to
heart as defenses against distrust
or apprehension. Who knows how
much life there is in lily? Who
can measure the distance between
God and d flower of the field? What
connection there is between the
lily and the man we have not vet
been sufficiently educated to dis
eern, but Christ's lesson is abso-
lutely pointlcss il there is not a
line common TO all kinds of life
running through and binding all.
If would be useless to consider
the lilies if they and the consid-
erers had no point in common,
though in The present state IF our
faculties it may be inappreeiable.
The explanation is that the uni
verse is a series. and that He who
cares for the least cares for the
greatest. Christ taught us to be-
ain with the lily and reason upward
to the absolute, and then descend
and preach lessons of loving trust
in God to anxious men, who are
foolishly CARRYING all the weight of
tomorrow on shoulders already
pressed with the burdens Of to-day.
But can the conscious learn from
the unconscious? Can the man
learn anything from the lily?
Enough to know that the lily and
] the man eat at the same table and
quench their thirst at common
/, fountain. Christ set men down by
the lily to consider it. Ny brother,
there is mystery in life of the
| west kinds, and we are taught the
solemn vet gladstone truth that the
whole earth is sacred With the pres
ence Of God.

How often is it the case that the

THE GRAIN ELEVATOR.
The Matter Going Forward in
EarnestcOne Third of the
Amount Subscribed.

That there will be a new elevator
is an almost assured fact, and that it
will be beneficial to Mexico and
surrounding country is not ques-
toned in the least. Business men
of means are taking hold of this
matter in earnest and will push the
thing forward until the elevator is
completed. The estimated cost is
S12, 900. One third of that amount
is already subscribed and tits only a
question of a short time when all
the money will be raised and work
commenced. Mr.. Pollock said to
a reporter of this paper this morn
ling that if the people would come
forward and be liberal in the mat
ter and at once, he would take q
good portion of stock himself. Mr..
Pollock bone of the most liberal
men in this county and~when he
sees a good thing, as is natural
with him, he takes advantage of it
if possible, hence his success in
business. We hope the people
will take the same view of this
enterprise and obtain shares, thus
assuring the success of the elevator.
The following well known business
