ToPIc.-Willing offerings to God Ez. i, 4. g.
II Cor. viii, 8, IL.
The effect of an offering depends en-
tirely upon the spirit of the offering.
If gift is forced upon us, given be-
grudgingly, or even out of sense of duty,
the highest effect is not obtained. But
if given willingly, because of love and
gratitude, even though it be of little
value in itself, it is joyfully received.
AS with man, so with God. Hence will
ing offerings may very profitably occupy
orr thoughts this first week of the new
year.
! /. Willing offerings exemplified (Ez.
| i, 4, 81. The Israelites are captives in
Babylon under the rule of Cyrus. God
instructs Cyrus to rebuild the city and
temple of Jerusalem. Cyrus gives the
people freedom to return and helps
them financially. He issues a decree
that if any are unable to go because of
want of means the people of his king
dom are to help them, and besides to
make free will Offering to the house of
God at Jerusalem, and the people will
ingly and gladly obeyed his decree be-
cause of personal love to the people of
God and because they knew it would
please their king. This is noble ex-
ample of willing giving. Cyrus will
ingly gave freedom to people, means
to return home and gifts TO rebuild their
city and temple when they did return
home. 1t is an example worthy of our
imitation. The people gave willingly
because il pleased their king. So we
should give, for it will please our heavenly
king. The example of Cyrus strikingly
calls to mind Gods free and willing gift
of his Son to mankind. and with him

him and it. Let us initiate such noble
examples.

Senator Homer w. Vail OF Pomfret, who
| is a member OF the Board Of Agriculture
and also one of the cattle commissioners,
was at the Van Ness House lost evening.
He told a Free Press reporter That he was
called to Brattleboro Tuesday 10 see some
slaughterhouse hogs owned by a butcher
named Richardson. The veterinarian was
not quite positive as to the disease, which
was running in mild form. 1t is proba-
bly, safe, however, to call it hog cholera.
He did not know that its mildness was an
advantage. Where it gets hold OF
lot OF hogs in a mild form, it fingers long
er than it would il it killed them in day

it to spread.
"The commissioners" said the senator,
"have ruled not 10 avail themselves OF the
law which permits them to slaughter and
pay for the animals, unless it is 10 be
benefit to the State.' Mr.. Vail considered
the ruling right and proper, although he
said it worked hard on individual farmers
q I'd others. But he did not consider it me- 5
Sssary to kill the hogs as soon as the dis
ease was discovered among them and re-
imburse the owners from the treasury OF
the State, unless it was advisable to pre-
vent its spreading. So far, the commits
sioners have not found a case but what
has been isolated and it has only been nee
essary to quarantine the animal or ami

him a dose of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera

1890 the value Of its chief items at
the place Of production exceeded
S65O,OOO,0O0, and though the cash
value of these products in 1891 was
probably less than in 1890, owing
to the lower prices of most of them
yet the quantities produced were,
with very few exceptions, much
greater than in any previous year.
The output of gold is increasing
but in the absence of full returns
we place it in 1891 at approximate
ly 100000 ounces, or $33,25O,0OO
an increase of 32O, 900 ounces.
The output of silver has in
creased much more rapidly, andwe
estimate in the absence of full re-
turns that it amounted in 1891 to
49, 00,0 900 ounces, the coming value
of which would, be S74,820.OO0.-

Among the most recent uses to
which electricity has been applied
is that of transmitting photographs
by wire. The process is founded
upon using electricity of varying
degrees of strength, as in the tele-
phone; or in other words the move
ment of a certain lever at one end
of the line causes a corresponding
lever to take the same motion at
the other end, similar to the tele-
graph key. The telephone is af-
fected by varying sound waves:
the instrument described is affect
ed by the varying degrees of light.
With this machine the cut of the
speaker and the speech may be
sent over the same wire, and TWEEN
ty minutes after the message has
been sent it will appear in the pa
pers in New York, accompanied by
a cut of the orator taken on the
spot. The machine is the inven-
ton of N. s. Amstutz, of Cleve-
land, Ohio.
