"Multum in Parvo."

All Paris is alarmed at the ravages of
La Grippe, and temporary hospitals
are being secured for the enormous
number of sufferers. The malady is OF
violent type. This alarming disease
is sitting out hundreds of people for the
grave in many countries. Among the
recent deaths from this and kindred
troubles are the Duke Clarence, heir
presumptive to the British throne, and
who was soon to wed the Princess May
Victoria Mary of Teck; Cardinals
Simeoni and Manning, two of the lead
ing prelates of the Roman catholic
Church-the latter universally admired
by ell classes, not alone for his great
learning and piety, but more particular
ly for his modest, abstemious life and
love FOR the poor, in whose behalf he
was Il most Jealous worker; Associate
Justice Bradley, Of the United States
Supreme Court; Chief jude Ruger Of
the New York Court Of Appeals; Cyrus
w. Field, of submarine cable memory,
and others. The princes jeweled
crown, the shepherds crook and the
PEASANTS staff are laid iu the dust for
the silent sleep of death. Prince and
prelate and people, alike, are called
upon in some way TO pay tribute to
this mysterious visitant.

city tonight.
The shutting down OF railroad trains
in mid-winter and the general stagna-
ton and apparent scarcity of money,
startles the mind. Should the business
men be able to meet their next pay
ments all will be we'll, for they will
meet returning current of trade. Let
US be cheerful, hopeful, and begin a
crusade for simplicity, and economy OF
living on every line-not forgetting,
however, 10 be benevolent and humane,
for "man's extremity is Gods oppor-
tunity." Properly appreciated, great
prosperity and blessing might be made
to grow out Of this crisis.
The Committee Of the General As
sembly OF the Presbyterian Church, il
ses. ion at New York, on the revision
Of the Confession Of Faith, has receded
from the doctrine Of infant damnation.
The substitute for chapter MI, section
3, is now as follows:
"Infants dying in infancy, and all
other persons who are not guilty OF ac-
tual transgression, are included in the
election of grace and are saved and re-
generated by Christ, through the Spirit
who worketh when and where and
how be pleaseth. So also are all other
elect persons who are not outwardly
called by the ministry of the word"
This is hopeful evidence OF the evo-
luton of thought. 1t has eliminated
error and developed higher standard.
The State, Columbia, Of recent date,
says:
1--WE take occasion to congratulate
the Presbyterian infants. Hereafter
they will not be damned unless they
misbehave themselves. 1t took long
time to secure their exemption from
punishment, but at the new trial grant
ed by the Church in the revision Of the
Confession of Faith they have been
triumphantly acquitted"
Light is breaking in the East. Trans
cendentalism has waned, and Boston
is tired of intellectual pride, and, in
breaking the bands, is pursuing hap
pier trend Of spiritual thought.
