Senator Teller has by request intro
duced a bill into the Senate, providing
for the removal of the Colored popula-
ton of the United Sstaes to Lower Cali
fornia. If Mr.. Teller will venture down
into Alabama and attempt to remove
any considerable number of Colored
people from that state, he will be lucky
If he is allowed to skip out with dozen
or two of buckshot in his carcass He
will have many more sensible ideas
about lead, when he gets away, than he
ever had about silver. The Honorable
Senator has done several things "by re-
guest lately, and he would leave the
South "by request whenever he at
tempts to promote an emigration scheme
among the Colored population.

The preaching of the word has not tho
esteem with many Christians that it
ought to have. Much cause there may
be to lament that worship is not more
marked feature of our Sunday assem-
blies, but the answer DR.. Stalker makes
to those who think sermons are too much
thought Of is worth considering. He
says; eve are warned that we ought
in the church to speal, to1tod and not to
listen to man. But think we do come
to the church to listen to man. 1t is
quite true that in all preaching there's an
element of human folly and imperfeo-
ton, just as there ia, for that part, in all
human praying. Butwhereyer an earnest
minister is speaking there God is speak
ing. Godsmessage is being delivered, and
however important it may be that In the
church we should speak to God, it is still
more important that God should speak
and we should listen" -Christian In

After all, Christianity cannot be a
very weak and pusillanimouH affair when
30 many OF our strong rulers resnot
ashamed to advocate it. We are on the
way to the time when kings shall be
nursing fathers and queens nursing
mothers to the church. We shall after
awhile have the best brain enlisted on
our side, and the day will come when
q mans sanity will be doubted IL he
questions the truthfulness Of Christ's re-
ligion. We do not want skeptics any
longer to pat us patronizingly on the
back, saying, Poor deluded soulsl They
mean well enough" We do not want
the FREELY born in the swamp to lecture
the full harvest moon on the subject Of
optics. There are enough men of brain
and official position on our side to mako
it respectable. Indeed, we suspect that if
by post mortem'examination the head of
the learned skeptic was explored, it
would be found that there is soft spot
somewhere In it, into which his egotism
had soaked, leaving dampness and mold
to gather. A man who, amid all the
accumulated evidence of the ages, can
doubt the existence of God, is mentally
deficient somewhere. He may be SUI
premely talented in other respects, but he
is lacking in that department.-Dr. Tai
mage in Christian Herald.
