Salvation il not for souls alone: II
ia for the whole man, as he is and "a ne
!. to be. Salvation is not merely f"'
the next world: it is for the present as
we'll az for the future, for time ~ wei
as for eturnity. He who is not saved
here and cow. has no assurance iha'
he IL TO he saved hereafter. If man
would have hope for the life To come,
he should be able to say OF his presen.
life, "That life which | now 1--WE III
the flesh live in faith, the faith wh'cI
il in the Son of God, who loved me me
and gave himself up tor me-" we
may think quite too much OF our Souls
or of the souls of our fellows, Wha'
we and they need is present salvation
while the soul is dwelling in the BODY
as the temple of the Holy Spirit.

The following is:an extract from a
speech by Prince Momou Nassau OF
Vel, Africa, on "The Rum Traffic in
the Dark Continent" delivered in
Boston some time ago.
~ can prove to you that about one
half of the liquor sold in the portion OF
Africa which T represent is made in
New England. And 1 can assure you,
also, that in my tribe, in the. last two
years, more than eight thousand men
and women have been slain, as re-
suit of this liquor traffic. Just two
years ago two men, one from Begula
and another from Vel, bought bottle
of American liquor. They got drunk.
The Vel man killed the Bogula man.
That was the cause of war, and in
that war hundreds and hundreds of
men were slain, besides other hundreds
taken into captivity. My own mother
was dethroned, and fled into the forest
and was there ten days without any
thing to eat. and when found she was
at the mouth of death, and died few
days afterward. That is result of the
traffic carried on by the very people
am speaking TO this morning."-Iv.

is the mania among ladies to decorate e
their hats with the feathers of dead
birds, that many of the birds, bright OF

to become extinct. 1t is very commend
able in these government to inter-

In the Boston Herald of September
BIRD appeared the results of an inter.

onion SCHNEIDER in regard to the Jew
ish method of slaughtering.
The Rabbi contends that for santa
ry reasons the blood should be thor
oughly drained from every animal g;
and speaking Of the infinite import.
ance of the post mortem examination
of the lungs and all other internal
organs Of each animal slaughtered,
which is practised by the Jews, states
that of twenty animals slaughtered in
one day by the Jews at the Brighton
abattoir, ten were found diseased, and
were rejected, aud SO of course sold to
be eaten by Christians.
In view of the fact which we have,
during the past twenty-five years,
given in our addresses aud lectures
very widely over our country, that it
has been found by statistics in various
parts of Europe that Jews live on the
average something like five years
longer than Christians, in view of this
fact does it not seem very important
that Christians should have the same
protection as Jews against the danger.

assess literally, and pay out in full.
Don't wait until the close of the year
to pay the preacher; be, like every one
else, needs money during the year, and
his dues should not be withheld.
Don't harp upon the shortcomings OF
your pastor. If he has faults or short

Don't allow your pastor to preach to
empty pews, neither let the whole bur-

him. 1t is as much your duty to be
present as it is that of the preacher.
