A late paper had an article on "The
Church." and now, while / cannot
think that anyone would speak in de-
risiOn of any good thing in or out of
the church, still / think there are times
when the truly conscientious church
member will need to exercise charity,
No doubt, most all the workers in our
cause mean well, but we are all so
scattered and have such varied exper-
fences, and are not all cool enough to
weigh our words, and often judge too
hastily from our own abstract knOWl
edge. Many (who having no church
eXperience) find it hard to reconcile
some things. For instance, in Tennes
see not long since, the Methodist con-
ference suspended minister for six
months because he ran for governor
on the prohibition ticket, while in
Georgia the conference helped minis
ter to run on the whisky ticket. With
such condition of things it is nowOn-
der the church is growing cold, and
that now and then there are some who
speak slightingly of it.
If we would have the world respect
our churches and our religion, then
let us work and vote as we pray, and
put into practice (bOth in the church
and out) the first and only true princi-
pies of religion as taught by Him who
was victim of the church of his time,
because His teachings were an innoVa-
tiOn, and of whom Plate said: "Chief
priests and people, l find no fault in
this man." The church should be first
in all reforms; but is it soS Has it
been so? History answers, no. We
know that the church, with fagOt and
sword, tried as long as it could to
silence the voice of science until
science grew strong and able to stand
firm, when the church said: "Come in,
child" And does not the church now
take to itself some credit for the aboli-
tiOn of slavery, when, as amatter of fact,
chattel slavery was upheld by the church
as divine institution? 1t is sad and
sorry fact that most all reforms start
outside of the church, and that during
the swsddling period, when much
tender, nurturing love and care are
needed, the church, as mother, does
not give it, but rather prefers to adopt
the child when grown able to take care
of itself. Not long since 1 heard an
old partyite remark the church would
make trouble in the Peoples party,
but l apprehend nothing so serious as
that. 1t was not religion that killed
and prosecuted the Quskers. Neither

brotherhood, but rather lack of re-

SEVEN WONDERS OF CoREA.-Corea.
like the world of the ancients, has its
"seven wonders Briefly stated, they
are as follows First, hot mineral
spring near Kin. Shantao, the healing
properties Of which are believed by TIE
people to be miraculous. No matter
what disease may afiiict the patient, a
dip in the water proves eiiioacious. TIE
second wonder is two springs, situated
at considerable distance from each
other: in fact, they have the breadth OF
the entire peninsular between them.
They have TWO eculiarities-when one
is full the other IS always empty: aud,
Notwithstanding the fact that they are
connected by Il Subterrane2n passage,
Que is bitter and the other pure aud
sweet. The third wonder Is a cold
wave cave-a cavern from which
winuy wind perpetually blows. The
force OF the wind from the cave Is such
that a strong man cannot stand before
il. j forest that cannon be eradlcated
is the fourth wonder. No matter what
injury is done TO the roots OF the trees,
which are large pines, they will sprout
up again directly, like the phQaix from
her ashes. The IF n is the most
wonderful Of AL. 1t is the famous
Floating stone" l; stands, or seems
10 stand IN front Of the palace erected
in its honor. |. Is an irregular cube OF
great bulk. It appears 10 be resting on
The ground, free from supports on all
sides; but, strange TO say, Two men at
opposite ends OF a rope may pass it
under the stone without encountcring
any obstacle whatever. The sixth
wonder is the hot sione,n which, from
remote ages, has lain glowing with heat
on the top OF high hill. The seventh
and las 60 can wonder is drop OF
the sweat OF Baddha. For thirty PAGES
around the temple in which it is en-
shrined not blade OF grass will grow.
There are no trees or flowers inside the
sacred square. Even the animals de-
cline to profane spot so holy.
