Vedder says that the efficacy of any scheme Is proved by it's effects. If it answers the end designed; if any plan of benevOlence, In science and in medi' cine, secures the happiness, health, and interest of mankind, then do we at once praise the scheme, and readily avail our selves of It's professed benefits.
 If had an antidote for la grippe which 1 had advertised ss never failing cure, and should produce proof of it's et- ficacy, would have no difficulty in in- ducing sufferers of the dreaded, and ot- ten fatal malady to avail themselves ot it's benefits.
 The Gospel designs the restoration, and the salvation of fallen man. It de- signs to supply the wants of the needy to dry the mourner's tears, to ease the heavy heart, to heal it's n4aladies, to give bread to the hungry, water to the thirs- ty, and clothes to the naked. It profess es to restore the soul to communion with God, and to inspire with the hope of inn mortality.
 Has the Gospel done this2 Has it &C., compiished all 1t prefesses to accomplish in every case where it has been honestly and faithfully tested? We answer, it has; It has done this without a single exception. The Gospel ministry, and the ROdly laity are not exclusively those who answer this question affirmativsiy ; but there are such indubitSble facts and evidences of the Gospels efficacy that come under the observation of the uH- godly, that many are compelled to ad- init that the Gospel of Christ is not of man, nor of the will of man, but that 1t is the power of God.
 Of those who doubt, would ask. Do you know of any man who has become a better citizen, & better husband, a better father, and better brother by receiving the Gospel of Christi
 Do you know any woman who has be- come better wife, better sister, bet ter daughter, 8 better mother, by &C., ceptinR Christi Of course you do, you may doubt my religion. You may owe the church such grudge that you will never enter 1t nor give toward it's finan- cial support, but the quickest and surest way of getting knockout blow Is for me to say to such man as has Chrit- titan mother, ''Sir, don't believe in your mosher's religion. think she is a hyp- ocrite, and knows nothing of that which she professes."
 THE DIVINITY OF THE GOSPEL
 can be only proved by it's practical ef- fects upon individuals who accept and obey the truth. How did Paul find out this great truth2 How did he know about the power of the Gospel? How came he to glory in the Cross of Christ Paul, the stern advocate of the Jewish economy. Paul, the man who once gloried in his literary attainments, and blame leasness In reference to the law. Paul, the hater and persecutor of the adherents of the cross. Paul, who was not only ashamed of the Gospel, but iabored to exterminate 1t, cries out, ''I know whom nave believed" Hear him in his holy enthusHasm, VI count alI things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. How was this marvellous change wroughts It was wrought by the power of the Holy Ghost. Bus 1t was wrought in man who obey !

WORKING TO MUSIC,
Pushing a Railroad Through Africa
With the Aid of an Orchestra,

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
Building a railroad in the Soudan is not
carried on to the sound of the voice of an
Irish boss" directing a gang of Italian
!aborers. As becomes the milder atmos-
phere of the tropics, a railroad in those
regions is built to the "lascivious pleasing
of a Lutte" or the African equivalent. The
sofas" are the working people and the
griots' are the musical ones. The sofas
Will not work unless the ''griots' play.
So every gang Of men has its orchestra The
gr1ots' play on flutes and rude harps the
peculiar 'rag-tlme" tunes of Africa and
the picks and shovels of the sofas go
fndustriously as long as the music lasts
Let the music stop and the work slackens
and then fails altogether.
Fancy a gang of Italian laborers en-
ployed III the construction of a line of
railroad in the United States insisting that
III Trovatore" should be played for them
while they worked! In the Soudan it has
been found impossible to get work out of
the natives in the construction of railroads
unless music was furnished Every con-
tractor who has tried ii has failed. So to
the sound of music the steel rails are peua-
trating the Congo region and forcing their
way through the Soudan To every gang
of forty or fifty men there are assigned
two harp players and flute player As
long the music keeps up the black la
borers do not seem to feel fatigue. Gener-
ally the musicians get tired before the la
borers do. The music produced by these
cheerers of labor would not be inspiring
to white man, for 1t is filled with that pc
culiar plaintivenees which one hears in
the negro songs of the south. To the Afri-
cans. however, the tunes seem to be an in
SDiratiOn.
