IN LaGrange, DR.. w. D. Anderson, who,
before entering the ministry OF the gospel,
had gained distinction as minister of the
law, forcihly illustrated the dependence of
legal procedure upon the influence OF the
gospel in the dispensation of justice Said
he: 1t lies in the power Of witnesses to
swear you out OF your property aud yoar
life. Unless men regard the sanctity of
an oath, who knows when your property
will be taken or your liberty be imperiled
WHAT guaranty can the law give that your
title will stand after you are dead The
testimony of the liar may establish the
claim of avarice, but who can remember a
conviction for perjury? Human laws are
futile in the attempt to coerce men into
love OF truth Nothing short of reverence
for the divine law, can hold the witness to
the track when he is called on to swear to
his hurt.

IT is said that The lessces OF w. & A. R.
r are feeling the money stringency to
large decree. The force on the road has
been reduced, several trains discontinued
and the employees have not been paid in
two months When they took charge
of he road, spent about one million dollars
building iron bridges, putting down new
steel track, &c, and they nave made 40
money. 1t looks as if all the railroads in
the country will have to 60 in the hands of
a receiver. And yet there is a political
party in this country that contends that
the government should tax the people and
buy all the railroads.
Don't judge the christian religion by

dard. The true standard is the divine
Founder, against whom his worst enemies

wheat some dross in gold, some faults in
the best of men. None are perfect.
