They know where the political vol
canoes burn and scorch the air with
filming breath, and roll their
blighting tides OF love into the
pe0pled valleys below, where the
plains are covered with nettles
aud thstles, aud rue grows rank
and riotous whore only heart-edse
flowers should bloom. They know
the parteIre whore the butterflies
of society hnd allurement among
the gorgeous blossoms of folly and
fashion, as we'll as where the gurg-
ling streams of comfort wind with

Rev. Dewitt Talmage says of
his visit to the printing houses of
New York: These are the found
efles VIII re the great thunderbolts
of public opinion are forged. How
the wheels rush-all the worlds
news rolling over the cylinder like
Niagara ~ Table, Rock. Great tor.
rents of opinion of crimes, Of ac-
cldents, of destroyed reputatlo Is,
of avenged character. Who can
estimate the mightineSs for good
or evil, of daily newspaper It's
high time thai gnod men under
stood that the printing press, is
the mightl st engine of all the

earnest aud on the right side, he
can forge a weapon out of public
opinion that few evils could resist
for he is in the position to discern
these dtagous and drive them from
their hiding places.n Linked to
thoughts like these you wOuld
glority your work, and thrill your
columns with such power, that the
world would feel and own your
presence Sin the midst.' Tempta
ton in myriad forms, will assal
you, to lend your columns as agents
of evil; but give back the brave
answer, that Nehemiah gave from
his place on the wall, II am doing
a great work; | cannot come
down"
The world needs you. 1t was
this helplessness that touched the
heart of our Divine Teacher,
dwelling Sin the midst of the
Trinity. He came to our sin laden
earth, with the ministry of His
manhood, for the uplifting of the
same race of human beings that
