he received proposals TO take only SIo'5" OF the

were no bids by the large banks and corporations
which recently competed for the United states

Controller were as follows:

cacy; so he asked me aside to inquire
the cause of his abstinence. | asked
him in the Abipopian tongue (for
this Barreda was ignorant of, as the
Cacique was of Spanish), why he
refused his snuff today. Don't you
know he answered, that my wife
has just been confined? Must not |
therefore abstain from stimulating
my nostrils? What a danger my
sneezing would bring upon my childp
No more, but he went back to his hut
to lie down again directly, lest the
tender little infant should take some
harm if he stayed any longer with us
in the open air.
"For they believe that the fathers
carelessness influences the new
born offspring, from natural bond
and sympathy of both. Hence if the
child comes to a premature end, its
death is attributed by the women to
the fathers intemperance; this or
that cause being assigned;-he did
not abstain from mead; he had loaded
his stomach with water hog; he had
swan across the river when the air
was chilly; he had neglected to shave
off his long eyebrows; he had de-
voured underground honey, stamping
on the ground with his feet; he had
ridden till he was tired and sweated.
With raving like this the crowd of wo-
men accuse the father with impunity
of causing the child's death, and are
accustomed to pour curses on the un-
offending husband"
The same or similar affinity must
also exist between man and animated
nature; for Mr.. Wallace, in his South
American talks, states that San In
dian, who was one of my hunters,
caught fine cock of the rock, and
gave it to his wife to feed; but the
poor woman herself was obliged to
live on Cassava. bread and fruits,
and abstain entirely from all animal
food, pepper and salt, which it was
believed would cause the bird to die.
The bird died after all, and the wo-
man was beaten by her husband for
having killed it by some violation of
the rule of abstinence"

LITERATURE AND ORTHODOXY
BY HENRY wooLAsToN.

AN exceedingly broad statement
by DIR. A. B. Hervey, in an article in
a recent number of the "Gospel Ban
ner," namely, that mo literary man
of his time has done so much to un-
dermine the foundations of orthodoxy
in the minds of reading and thinking
people as our DIR. Oliver Wendell
Holiness" compels attention, as it
presents a view of the influence and
character Of the genial Autocrat's
teachings that is generally lost sight
of in the abounding good humor and
sparkling wit of the first of American
humorists of the refined, higher
character. The first requisite of
good humor is kindliness of heart,
and this Oliver Wendell Holmes had
to degree rarely surpassed. Not
withstanding a certain narrowing
provincialism that led him to regard
New England as the United States
and Boston as "the hub of the uni
verse;" when it comes to the "red
ripe Of the human heart" our DIR.
Holmes was loyable and human to

PARTIES are never 30 small that they
cannot be divided. The silver issue is
the root of bitterness that has separated
chief friends in the prohibitory camp.
In some other of the numerous questions
which some of the delegates insisted on
mixing with temperance, radical differ
ences have developed. There are, it
seems, populistic prohibitionists. and
free silver prohibitionists. and pro.
hibitionists who believe in the gold
standard Since they agree in one
thing it would have been the part of
wisdom to put that one thing in the
platform and leave the other things out
1t is not edifying to read the imputa-
tions and anathemas they write about
each other now that they have split.
Senator Stewart appears to have learned
from them how to berate Senator Sher-
man; and there are other indications of
the pernicious influence of their evil ex-
ample in the unchastened speech Of
those Republicans and those Democrats
who little while ago were taking such
sweet counsel together.
If as much and as general and as in
telligent effort we're put forth to evoke
worthy qualities from human nature as
isdirected to making the material world
give it's best to US, should we not find
man to be as rich as nature? Think
what earth and air and water have been
made to yield. They seemed unpromis-
ing enough in the beginning, but man
will not let them alone until they give
up their utmost and their best. So
much has been discovered and developed
that there is now boundless faith in the
possibility of natural revelation. But
the highest and richest part of nature
is human nature. The world has got
large results from the body and brain
of man; it has gone only little way in
proving what treasures are embodied in
his spirit.
1T is instructive to note the history
OF the long effort to develop musical abil.
ity in the people. Musicians. it was
thought, like poets are born not made;
and it was believed and taught that it
is as absurd to try by instruction and
practice to make musicians as by similar
means to produce poets. Yet it was
found that the musical capacity is much
more &C ommon than was supposed. and
that within a single generation such
progress can be made in the cultivation
of musical taste and knowledge as to
produce vocalists and performers OF high
skill in every city and considerable
towns in a great empire. Here is a
large hint of what can be found by
searching for it 10 the unsouDded deeps
of the human soul. The harmonies of
faith and truth, ot love and righteous
ness, of achievement and service, must
be inconceivably great and enhancing.
Often it is said creed has no in
fluence on the life; you may have bad
creed and bs a good man. or you may
profess good creed and be bad man.
But while examples Of such incongruity

that to idolize some promising boy or
girl was a sin, of which he was jeal-
GUS. When death has come in and
made some lovely child cold with
the dew of death, they remark that it
was purposed as a lesson to the ador-
ing parents. A God who would
cause death or some untold mis-
fortune to come upon a child that
he might gain the service of some
father or mother, is not God the
Father, who was revealed by Jesus
of Nazareth, nor is he the God who,
we believe, planted all these deep
affections in our natures. He who
delights in this world is much diff
ferent being, and wins our reverence
and service, not by taking from us
what he has given, but by giving
unbounded from the stores of his
benefcent life. The superstition that
God is displeased with adoring pa
rents prompted the idolatrous Jews
to give their offspring to Moloch,
and the Carthaginians to cast their
sons and daughters into the fiery
throat of Saturn. 1t is far more rea-
sonable to believe God is highly
pleased with the most abundant love
any parent ever lavished upon a
child.

According to lady who has lived
in Jerusalem for forty years, the Jewish
population of that city is increasing.
"Twenty-two years ago." she says, "there
were only between $4,000 and 10000
Jews in Jerusalem. In those days no
houses were to be found outside the
magnificent walls, the gates of which
were closed at night. Since then many
changes have taken place, and the He.
brew population-mainly on account Of
the increase of the Jewish immigration
from Russia-now stands at between
10000 and 10000.

THE NEW TIME AND THEOLOGY.
BY REV. F. F. BUcKNER.
GREENvILLE,

IT strikes me as being strangely
out of place in the men Of the nine
teenth century to go back four hun
dred, or one thousand years in the
past, and sit at the feet of John Cal
win, Martin Luther and st. Augustine,
and study theology. The current
theological notions held in all the
larger churches were framed and
adopted centuries ago. They were
reasoned out to large extent by
men who believed in the universal
presence of satanic power who
thought that the world was filled by
evil spirits, and that man was the
wreck of more perfect creature than
he was then. The fact is that the
men who wrote the books on theology
knew no more about God than we
know; they knew not one. tenth as
much as we know of human nature.
They knew nothing, we may say, of
the universe in which we dwell. They
had some local knowledge of man,
but knew nothing of the worlds lit
erature. His religion, his history, his
tribal and national life had received
no attention from the most remarkable
of all the ancient writer's. Such facts
as these make it appear very cred
ulous in us to receive with unques-
toned confidence the creeds and the
commands of the past. We know man
better. Our knowledge of his progress
and his institutions makes it incum-
bent on us to speak and live and act
in this enlightened day upon our
knowledge.
Augustine hung a cloud over the
Christian religion. That man, who
had led, life as abandoned as men
ever lead imagined that he could see
poisoned souls in the features of in
nocent babies. But no mother ever
saw this dark vein in infant life. They
who watch over them with ten thous-
and anxious dreams, whose fine SEN
sibilities read their budding thoughts,
who know how to interpret the mean
ing of every outstretched hand,
changing feature and involuntary
tear, know full well that God has
placed infant angels, not infant de-
mons, in their arms. How Christians
could write and propagate a creed
which did such foul injustice to their
sense of reason is one of the perplex-
ing mysteries of religious history,
doing it as they did in the face of
Jesus words: "Of such is the king.
dom of heaven;" "It is not the will
of your Father which is in heaven
that one of these little ones should
perish"
But the spirit of the times which
taught dogmas so offensive taught
others which outraged reason none
the less. Mothers were not infre-
quently told that the affection shown
their children was stolen from God /;
