o, my shadow-soDgs and my dream songs,
They are many and many and sweet.
With music that is celestial,
And perfect rythmic beat,
And they image the heart-of-Heayen,
And the glory and sweetness of it;
But alas. for me and my dreamings,
never a one have writ:
For they come to me on the borders
OF the mystical River of Sleep,
When my dream-boat has only entered
The waters SO still and deep,
And they sing in my soul so softly,
am rocked In the arms of the song,
TIL the mantle of sleep enfolds me,
And the shadow-verse is gone!
Yes, I know, could 1 only write them,
That there must be sweetness therein
That would touch the heart of some brother,
With charm his love to win,
And may be, who knoweth?' awaken,
In the heart of the world, now unsung,
just note of the old, lost gladness,
That had died when the race was young!

"LAYMAN" in the Christian Register
remarks that few ministers receive any
business training whatever" The con-
nection shows that he means training in
the "business" of adjusting expenses to
income. There is, perhaps, truth enough
in the aspersion to make it sting. But
if "Layman" should be able on a salary
of seven hundred dollars to maintain a
family. bring up and educate children
and besides keeping out of debt while
living respectfully. lay by something in
the way of life insurance, would he think
himself Justly chargeable with receiving
no business training whatever? Yet
thousands of ministers do this very
thing. The art of living we'll on small
income is more thoroughly mastered by
the average clergyman than by the av
erage layman.
The finances of the Catholic
churches are arranged altogether by the
clergy. Laymen assist, but the clergy
men are the recognized overseers of
temporal as they are the disbursers of
spiritual things. And the finances of
the Catholic churches are we'll managed.
Out of a constituency largely Of wage
earners revenues are raised for main.
tanning vast and expanding business.
Costly churches are built and equipped
at great expense, schools OF various
kinds and grades are maintained, hos
pitals instituted and the holdings Of the
church increased steadily from year to
year all over the land. The salary ex
pense of Catholic churches does not av-
erage so high as with Protestant
churches; but the other expenses far
outrun the '.incidentals" of Protestant
churches. Here and there failure or
hardship or scandal occurs; but on the
whole the financial management of these
churches is worthy not only of commen-
dation but of admiration.
If we say the best that can be said
for the financial management OF Protes-
tant churches, we must concede tnat IL
is far less efficient and satisfactory than
that Of the Catholic churches. Out of
a constituency much more able much
less revenue is raised. There is less
uniformity in the flow of receipts; more
uncertainty, worry. experimenting and
failure And the financial management
of Protestant churches is in the hands
of the laity. The general opinion among
Protestant laymen is that so frankly ex-
pressed by their representative in the
Christian Register, that flew ministers
have received any business training
whatever" and that it would be disast-
rous to entrust the finances of the
churches to the ministers. But in view
of the experience of the Catholic church

SOUND ARGUMENTS.

The idea of one destiny is neces-
sarily involved in the idea of one
God, The two must stand or fall
together. The nature of the destiny
will be in accordance with the char
acter of the God. If the God be evil,
it is folly to expect good destiny;
and if the God be good, it is nom
sense to proclaim an evil destiny as
coming from him. Take the ac-
knowledged attributes of God, and
let the voice of reason decide that
question of destiny.
1st. An infinitely good being
must be presumed to propose the
highest possible good of his creatures
as the ultimate of their destiny.
There is no conceivable motive why
such being should create at all,
except only that he might do good.
The whole is greater than a part,
and therefore the good of the whole
is preferable to the good of the part.
The good sought must be the high
est good, or it cannot meet the de-
mands of infinite goodness. If there
is in destiny any possible, conceiva-
BILE good, higher or better for man
than that which God has proposed,
then he has preferred lesser to a
greater good, and his goodness is
not infinite. If, therefore, God is in
finite in goodness, it is evident that
he seeks the highest possible good
of all his creatures, and that end he
will reach if he can.
End. 1t is plain enough that a
God of infinite wisdom could, if he
were SO disposed, devise a plan
which, if carried into effect. would
secure the highest good of all his
creatures. Any error, any mistake
involving the failure of the plan in
any degree, would argue that the
wisdom which devised it was not in
finite.
3rd. The third step in this reason
ing is thus taken: Infinite power
could execute the plan thus suggest
ed by infinite goodness and devised
by infinite wisdom, and the conclu-
sion is, that so certain as God is in
finite in goodness, wisdom and power
so CERTAIN it is that this plan has been
devised, and will be executed, and
the highest possible good is placed
beyond all doubt, as to the destiny
of the race. If it be not so, there can
be but one of two reasons. 1t will be
because God could not or would not
do it. If we say he would not, we
deny his infinite goodness. If we say
he could not, we deny his wisdom or
power, or both. Choose your horn of
this dilemmal We do not pretend
to any originality in this argument,
except it may be in the mode of pre-
sentation.
For more than thirty years we have
been in the conflict between Univer-
salism and its opposition. Times
without number we have seen this
argument employed, bu. unto this
day we have not seen or heard a re-
spectacle attempt to refute it or show
its falsitY.-I. d. Williamson, DID.

CARLISLE GETS A ROAST.
Taken to Task for His Recent
Fling at Ex-CongreSSman
Bryan.
A Slap at the Affiliations of CIeve-
land and His Secretary of the
Treasury.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 16.-Ex-Con-
gresham w. ]. Bryan of Nebraska, who
passed through here this afternoon on his
way to Boonville, Mo-, had this to say in
regard to Carlisle's refusal 10 debate with
him:
81 am to discuss the silver question at
the Lexington Chautauqua on July 5, but
[ knew nothing of the proposed debate
until l saw Secretary Carlsle's interview
in this mornings paper. I would be
willing to debate with him if the Chau-
tauqua so desired, but not with any idea
of acquiring dignity, for I do not think an
American who has 80 little faith in his
countrymen as to employ Rothschild-
Morgan syndicate to protect the treasury
of the United States has any dignity to i'm
part to others.
tBut a debate might afford Mr.. Car
Isle an opportunity to explain some things
concerning which he has been studiously
silent.
GAS to the charge that am Popuiist, I
would say that am now Democrat and
always have been Democrat. l said in
Nebraska in 1895 that I would not follow
the Democratic party to the gold standard
if it ever adopted gold standard. l re-
peated this at Jackson Miss, in reply to
a question, but have always said that 1
did not, and l now say that do not be-
lieve the Democratic party will ever de-
clare for gold standard.
"The struggle in the Democratic party
is to determine whether the goldbugs can
use the organization as a vehicle for the
advancement of plutocracy or whether the
party will stand upon Democratic princi-
pies.
''The silver Democrats expect to control
the next National Convention, and 1 have
no doubt that Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Car
Isle will either bolt or vote the Republican
ticket"
