THE EVANGEllSTS.
Perhaps It Is For Tire Best That None of
the Original Gospels Exists.

Some of oar readers there may be
who find it difficult TO understand why,
since CCd has revealed to us his will in

books, us the Bible truly is, he has not

text. How much labor would have been
saved had we possessed the autographs
OF four evancelists, To this we answer
that, had enc such autograph existed,
some branch Of the Christian church
possibly every branch, ourselves includ-
ed-would have made an idol of the
writer's parchment while neglecting
its teaching altogether. We can only
seek to comprehend the ways Of Provi-
dence il one sphere by observing them
in another. Man is the heir of all
things, yet he Is sent into the world to
depend for food, clothing and all the
comforts and adornments of life on his
wits. How greatly is he thereby differ
entiated from the brutes! How immcas-
urabiy is the educated man, and espe-
ciaIly the scientific investigator, raised
above the savage simply rs the result of
his own efforts,
Is 1t not possible that he who gave
the word OF life designs to quicken our
interest IN It by aroEsing afresh il each
Successive generationof Christians the
desire to approach nearer TO its sources,
TO remove the underground of legend
and tradition which has sometimes OBJ
structed Its free course, and that we are

A most interesting summary Of the

peculiar value 20 Americans, not only
as affording a means Of comparisoa with

shows anew the close bonds Of business

shows the bond between Europe AMI

THE
Weekly x
Register.
More Complete, More Successful
Than during any period of
its History.

The best Weekly pape. published
west OF the Allegheny Mountains. 1t
is truly home weekly, tit for every
member OF the household. and contain
ing information OF value to young and
old. Other city papers adopted the
semi-weekly plan and abandoned it. be-
cause the two papers did not make one
good weekly. The people soon found
this out and returned to their first
choice, and that choice is the Weekly
Register.
The Weekly Register has no equal in
two Virginias, ana no superior among
the metropolitan weekly publications.
It contains 10 pages uf select literary
matter, stories by the most eminent
fiction writer's, the latest telegraphic
matter, carefully prepared editorials
and by far the most complete West Yir-
gilman and Ohio news service.
During the coming year tie Register
will be OF particular value to the farm
err, tradesman and merchant. Congress
will likely be in extraordinary session,
as we'll as the regular session, and the
regular proceedings as we'll as other
Washington news, will be fully chron-
icled in the Register.
Tie West Virginia Legislature will
be in session, aud the Register will give
the most complete reports.
The price will remain the same as
heretotore--$l.00 per year in advance.
Agents wanted in every community.
