The U,os Of Language.

Language comes more easily to some
than to others; but it is a desirable ac-
QUESTION, and therefore 1T is essential
that the book and the teacher in the
school-house should join in inducing the
student to express himself Not that
men and women must be able to talk all
the while. Under this fashion of things
the world would soon be talked to death.
The essential thing is that the mind be
made capable Of examining a subject, Of
simplifying theme, until it shall as
sumo some fullness Of symmetry and
general beauty.

The IRISH STANDARDS: SATURDAY. JANUARY 81

II. Then pray can you tell me now all
the world was converted to Christianity
before the whole Bible was 30 much as
written in one volume? Was it not
through teaching by word OF M )uth?
81. pose so.
r. And did the Apostles and their
successors say to the heathens they were
converting: ave have delivered a re-
ligion to you which is true according to
what our private opinion tells Us of it,
but you are not bound to believe it; you
can use your own private Judgment in
deciding as to it's truth, and if you reject
it, or any part OF it, we cannot condemn
ycu?" Or did they say, "We preach
Christ and Him crucifed: this is the
Gospel of the living God, and they
who refuse to believe shall be eternally
damnel?"
Fl. [ suppose they said the latter, but
you see that was only temp orary state
OF affairs.
r. Then when Christ commissioned
His Apostles TO preach by word of mouth,
did He tell them that YVES only to be un-
Til the Bible was printed, and that then
they were to give up teaching and let
every man be his own teacher?
Ell. I never met such fellow as you
before, for asking awkward ques' ions.
How should T know anything about it
beyond what the Bible tells me?
T. And as the Bible does not tell You
that it was ever to be the substitute OF
teaching by word OF mouth, how do you
know that?
Ell. We'll, of course there are some
things that caznot easily he explained.
and that is one Of them.
r.. My dear friend, it seems to nae that
there are many more things iii your
religion which cannot be explained; for
instance. you say your REASON for being a
Protestant ia belief in the Bible only,
and nothing else, and yet you are obliged
to go against the Bible in several in
stances, notably, in keeping Sunday in
stead OF Saturday--where is your a11-
thority for that? Again, you neglect TO
pay attenten to many important COM
mands in the Bible, one, that women
shall not teach in the Church, and yet
Queen Victoria is the head Of the Estab-
lished Church in England, which surely
means principal teacher; and another in
junction, to fast, Professionals hardly eve
observe. And again, even if Extreme
Unction may not rank as a sacrament,
there is the distinct command Of ST
James to use il. Last, but not least, is
St. Paula statement that Scripture shall
be wrested by many 10 their own de-
; struction, and no text of Scripture is Of
private Interpretation.
But here we are at the church gates.
/ hope the few questions have asked
you may be the means Of showing you
the danger Of your state. Whatever you
think of the subject, remember this, it
concerns yonr eternal welfare to believe
the Truth, and there is no middle way

Belittling the Eagle.

The eagle does not show bold front
when her eyrie is invaded, although
much has been written to the contrary.
A gentleman lately visited an eyrie in
the highlands of Scotland. There were
young ones in the nest, and on approach
ing the nest the parent bird flew of,
leaving the eaglets to look after them
selves. She kept lowering about a very
long way off, but did not show any signs
OF returning 50 long as the invader was

Poor Country for Bachelors.

There is a prejudice in tn, rural dis
tricts of this State against bachelors,
says the Portland Oregonian. People
in every outlying settlementare opposed
to bachelors taking up claims in their
vicinity. An exchange says: '"There
are some splendid claims on Deadwood
creek not yet taken, as good as any on
the coast The citizens want men with
families to settle on them. Three Of
these claims were taken by bachelors
last fall. The ladies' of Deadw
passed a resolution placing three
years limit on celibacy in that district,
and providing all bachelors not married
at the end of that time be run out of the
settlement or hanged" Five bach
elors moved out, one got married and
two have gone into the sparkling bust
ness.
