We regret to chronicle the death
of Mrs. Ellen Castleman, the wife of
John S. CastIeman, which occurred
on the 26th day of October. For
several years she had been in very
delicate health and during that per-
iod has borne the trial and tedium of
sickness with remarkable fortitude
and christian patience. She was the
oldest daughter of our esteemed cit
izen, Bushrod Washington, and spent
the last days of her life at his home.
Death is sad at all times, but when
it comes into tue young family and
takes fron-the infant its mother, and
from the young husband the wife OF
his bosom, it always seems that there
is a deeper sorrow and loss more
TO be deplored. We extend to her
immediate family our heartfelt sym.
pathy in their bereavo ment.

Do YOU think that such a scene could
be enacted now as was enacted in the
days of Robespierre, when a shameless
woman was elevated as a goddess and
was carried in a golden chair to a cathe-
dral, where incense was burned to her
and people bowed down before her as a
divine being, she taking the place of the
Bible and God Almighty, while in the
corridor of that cathedral were enacted
suchscenes Of drunkenness and debauch-
cry and obscenity as have never been
witnessed: Do you believe such a thing
could possibly occur in C~hristendom to-
day: No, sir! The police, whether of
Paris or New York, would swoop on it.
know infdelity makes a good deal of
talk in our day. It is on the principle
that if a man jump overheard from a
Cunard steamer he makes more excite
ment than all the 500 people that stay on
the decks. But the fact that he jumps
overboard-does that stop the ship: Does
that wreck the 500 passengers? ltmakes
great excitement when a man Jumps
from the lecturing platform or from the
pulpit into infdelity, but does that keep
the Bible and the church from carrying
their millions of passengers into the
skies?
They say, these men, that science is
overcoming religion in our day. They
look through the spectacles of the infdel
scientists, and they say: 1T is impossi-
BILE that this book can be true. People
are finding it out. The Bible has got to
go overheard. Science is going to throw
it overheard" Do you believe that the
Bible account of the origin of life will
be overthrown by infdel scientists who
have so different theories about the Or
igin of life: If they shouldcome upin sol
id phalanx, all agreeing upon n senti-
ment and one theory, perhaps Christiani-
ty might be damaged, but there are not
so many differences of opinion inside the

the Bible. The church all the time get
ting the victory and the shot and shell
Of its enemies nearly exhausted.
I have been examining their ammuni-
ton lately. l have looked all through
their cartridge boxes. They have not in
the last 20 years advanced one new idea.
They have utterly exhausted their am
munition in the battle against the church
and against the Scriptures, while the
sword of the Lord Almighty is Is keen
as it ever was. We are just getting our
troops into line. They are coming up in
companies, and in regiments, and in bri-
gades, and you will hear a shout after
awhile that will make the earth quake
and the heavens ring with "AlleluiaI" It
will be this, Forward, the whole liner
And then I find another most encour-
aging thought in the factthat the secular
printing press and pulpit seem harnessed
in the same team for the proclamation of
the gospel. Every Wall street bankerto-
morrow in New York, every State street
banker tomorrow in Boston, every Third
street banker tomorrow in Philadelphia,
every banker in the United States, and
every merchant will have in his pocket a
treatise on Christianity, a call to repent
ance, 10, 20 or 30 passages of Scripture
in the reports of sermons preached
throughout these cities and throughout
the land today. 1t will be soin Chicago,
so in New Orleans, so in Charleston, so
in Boston, so in Philadelphia, SO every
where.
know the tract societies are doing a
grand and glorious work, but I tell you
there is no power on earth today equal
to the fact hat the American printing
press is taking up the ermon which are
preached to a few hundred or a few
thousand people, and on Monday norm
ing and Monday evening, in the morning
and evening papers, scattering that truth
to the millions. What a thought it is!
What an encouragementfor every Chris
tian man!

A QUESTION OF TESTIMONY.
You tell me James A. Garfield was IN
a~ugurated presidentof the United States
on the 4th of March, 1881. How do l
know it? You tell me there were 10000
persons who distinctly heard his inau-
gural address. I deny both. I deny that
he was inaugurated. I deny that his IN
aueural address was delivered. You
ask why. I did not see it; I did not hear
it. But you say that there were 10000
persons who did see and hear him. l say
I cannot take it anyhow. I did not see
and hear him. Whose testimony will
you take: You will not take my testl-
mony. You say: "You know nothing
about it; you were not there. Let US
have the testimony of the 10000 persons
who stood before the capitol and heard
that magnificent inaugural" Why, OF
course that is as your common n dc
tates.
Now. here are some men who say they
have never seen Christ rowned IN the
heart, and they do not believe it is ever
done. There is Il group of men who say
they have never heard the voice OF
Christ: they have lever heard the voice
of God. They do not believe it ever
transpired or was ever heard-that any
thing like it ever occurred. I point TOGO,
100. 900 or 1000, 900 people who say,
"Christ was crowned in u hearts az
fections; we have seen him and felt him
in our soul, and we have heardhis voice;
we have heard it in storm and darkness;
we have heard it again and again.
Whose testimony will you take: These

NEW RAILROAD RULES.
They Went Into sEffscs on the Jersey

They Went Into sEffsos on the Jersey
Central Road Yesterday.
The new rules and regulations for
the government OF the Jersey Central
employees have besl ISSUED, and went
into effect yesterday The same rules
will also be adopted by the Lehigh
Valley and all eastern lines.
The principal changes from existing
rules on the Central are as follows:
Green flags and lights will be uJel
on the rear ends Of trains as III IrkerI
instead Of red, as now. Night trains
will also carry two red lights rs dan
ger signals in addition to the green
markers.
South bound trains will have uulim-
itel right of way over north bound
trains Of the same class
Five blasts from the locomotive
whistle will call this figmaa back, iu-
stead Of eight as now. Three long
blasts when the train is running is q
signal that the train has parted.
The cord signals on passenger trains
will be one blast to start, two TO stop,
three to stop at next station. Whe
the train 10 standing two blasts are
signal for the engineer to call in the
tagmRn.
As the new rules require tho more
frequent use of the whistle, engineers
should ponder we'll rule 66, which says:
"The unnecessary use OF whistle is
prohibited; when necessary in shifting
ut stations and in yards, the engine
bell should be rung, and the whistle
used only when required by rule or
law, or when necessary to prevent &C
cident,"
