Such notices or requests are vory common in nearly all of the churches. l)oing placoil usual ly near tho altars whore tho people go to pray.

Ono can easily see how such a doc-tr ine might be groat ly abusoil. T h e Haying of mosses for tho dood, in or-der to l iborote souls f rom purga to ry , gives employment to thousonds of priests. I t is a common saying " that tho fire of hell is no prof i t to Roman priests, but the fire of purga-tory Is," and henco wo hoar far more a lwut pu rga to iy in th is country than about holl. According to mony of tho priests, holl is chief ly for heretics, and wo all know what Rome means when sho speaks of heretics.

Souls can not bo l iberated f rom hol l , but they may bo l iberated f rom pur-ga to ry , by prayer and penance, and espociolly by wel l-paid moasM.

I am well acquainted w i th a young priest in Rome who tells me that his income f r om the church depends solely on one of those endowed mosses for tho dead, tho repeating of which occupies about ono hour of his t ime each morn ing. Th is done his pr iost ly duties ore at an ond, and he is in a fine condit ion to prove tho t r u t h of tho proverb, " A n id le brain is tho devil 's workshop." Prom him and f rom others I have loamod that tho do-«iro of p rocur ing these masses, es-p w i a l l y thorn that pay well , has given ooeosion for much w i ro work-i bg and bitterness among tho priests, not to s p M k of other at tendant evils.

the capital would become the prop-erty of the church. Af ter some years tho priests claimed the capital, on the ground that masses were no longer necessary, as the man's soul had passed out of purga to ry . Th is latter the priests wero called upon to prove, which, of course, they fai led to do. The matter was carried to the courts, and after the lawyers had well l ined their p w k e t s , the case was decided in favor of tho executor. Where such th ings can happen how can one ex-pect relirion to be respected t No wonder the people h a r e become for-mal. antl careless, and thoroughly un-apir i tual . —

charai-ter and i|iiality it justifies,

' No doctrine is so clearly revealed

as salvation by grace, and yet no doc-

trine IS HO completely perverteil. The

Methotlist dm-trine of "fall ing from

grai-e " IN one illustration of the fact.

(jra<-e, ai-cordin^ to this theory, is not

only limited to human fidelity, but it

is a kind of commercial privilege a|

three <lays alTair at the bank of Uod

in which, if you do not i-ome to

time, your 8a^allon papers will lx«

protested. It makes the atonement j

of Christ only a provisional basis up- |

on which " past sins ' are blotted out;

but the l)eliever must, l<y Ocsl's help,

take care of the future, or fall from

(Trace, and !(«« eternal life; and hence

regeneration -and juslificatiou have

no significance as the [wrmacent and

' finished work of Uod. A man may

"Ijorn again" and "juHtifieci" a

' thousand times, a<-cor'ding to Meth-

odism ; and the system means noth-

ing more than a co operation of grac«

and works both to secure and ()«rpot

uate onr salvation—based upon the

blootl of Christ and the simple aid of

the Holy Spirit. It puts us back

about whore Adam was, under the

law, tvithout the purity and ability of

Adam to keep us from falling; and

its theory of " evangelical rightoous-

noss " is rather tho ground of justifi-

catioii iMjfore God than the |M>rfect

and impiitMl righteousness of Christ.

Methodism holds salvation by con-

tingency ond not cortainty, by groco

dopcndonl upon fidelity; and, if

Mothoilism is right, salvation by

grmw is an impossibility,

Campbollism is ritiiulistic Arinini-

anism. To groco and faith it aiids

ivatrr for solvation. Paul should say;

"By grace are ye sovwl through

faith and water," and thou omit the

rest of tho text. Campbollism, iu

fact, gives graco no ploco in salvotion

except to moko tho atonomont of

Christ a provisional basis, still base<l

upon u-ater, for the remission of

"past Bins" and tho "gif t of tlio

Holy Spirit." Groce through faith

alone cannot leod us to the blood;

and the Spirit of Qod has no direct

or initial work in eaving the noul.

The Word makes faitli, faith goen to

the water, water brings lifn, without

God's previous help, to tho dead sin-

ner. A discurslvo faith, o physical

act, and you are savo<l{ and though

cleansed of sin and Iwni of the Spirit,

in baptism, yet you must work the

works of the law still, or be lost.

Dippod, Gr damned, to begin with;

and work, or be damn<Ml, to end with

- this is Campbollism's (teculiar the

ology.

Romanism and all old fashioniHl

ritualism simply deny that the grace

of (i(Kl, or faith, is o|>oratlve on tho

soul, except through the sacrainenls,

at the hands of n priest, and iu the

pale of the church. The grace of

GotI IS thus (lilt ill the hands of a

third iHjrson, locked up in onlinam es

and tmshriiied by the church, and

this i/< the monster heresy of thiM eiil

uries. I uotHln't IIISCUSH it

.Salvation, according to ihe .Script

ures, is all of grace, or non.- of grace,

and it is accessible to all iiien by

filith, without works or water, priest

or church. "And if by gra<-e," nays

Paul, "then it is no more of works

otherwise grace is no more grace.

But if it be of works, then it is no

more grat-e; otherwim. work is no

more work." There is not even a co

operation of grace and woik iii salvii

tion, to Iwgin with; and throughout

the Christian's life aixl warfare he

may exclaim, at every moment: " Hv

I the grace of l iod I am w hat I am."

"SavtsI by grace." we are "kept by

the power of tiisl. through faith unto

salvation; • and " nothiiig. " nays I'uiil,

I have been sitting hen* womloring

why everylMxIy <'au"t be that way.

(>ne of the highmt illustrations of

the unselfishutws of our Lord lies in

the fact that he was so sensitive to

his siirrouudings. A knot of Scribes

and I'harimMM held a consultation in

hiH presence. He heard not o wortl,

but sus|HH-ting their thoughts he

turiuni u|»ou them with "Why reason

ye among yourselvfwT" A (loor, tim

hem of his garment in a great crowil,

and he surprised his disciples with

the •|ii<>stion, " W h o touched moT"

shouhl lietray him, and that he vvai

soon to l»e soparBlml from tbum, the

saying not a word and were making

no outcry, but with the ke»«u |N<rc«fp

lion of one who lovetl others lietter

than himself he saw they were sad.

and for their comfort s|ioko those

gentle wonis, " l^d not your heart Im(

One of the highest <|ualilit»< of an

unselli^h nalunt is that it recognixes

sorrow by intuition and stands l>ofore

it with l>oue<l antI uncovered bead.

Another g<KHl thing aliout unselfish

If there is one woman to whom,

moro than to ony other, the groot

heart of tho Christian world has gone

out in sympathy with Ijereovement,

it is Mrs. Chorles H. Spurgeon. For

thirty five years she has shaf»d the

lalKjrs and enjoywl the triumphs of hor

talontwl and lonweiratoti husband.

Her gentle p«»rsouolity and deepsjiir-

ituttl nature have hel|NHl him, iu a

large measure, to much of the success

that attended his efforts in and out of

Ihe pulpit; for although Susanna

Spiirgeon was for iiiiiny years almost

a confirmed invali.l, she has lieen

more active and energetic in GOJI'S

work than many who, in addition to

wealth and opjiortuiiily, have their

fa<-ulties unimpaired.

In discussing the <|UB l i t i e s of gn'at

men wlio have Iteeii long Ijefore the

piiblii, wo are apt to lose sight of the

luiet companions who have <-ontribu-

I«HI very largely to their public use

fulmws. In the lustre of the hus

baml's fame, the wife is too often ob-

Mcuretl. Her sufferings and self-

denials, hor privations and struggles,

K'o unrecorded, l>e«-ause the world

knows or bears little of them.

When Charles Haddon Spurgiwn,

then a young and rising preacher of

the Gos|jol, was marr i ^ in JSirfJ to

Susanna FloU-her in I ^ndon , it was a

union that gave every intlicalion of

iH-ing a happy and useful one. Two

sons. Charles an<l Thomas, idesse.!

Ihe pair, and lK»th are now following

ill their fatherV footsteps as minis-j

lers of the GOS|MW. After their birtb,

a shadow hovensl over tho home, and

the young wife was proslrateil by a

painful chronic illness, l or many

years she bore the bur«leu of iinalle-

wototl pain, displaying through it all

a Christian patience and fortitude.

Ortlinarily such a condition would

have precluded any thought of work-

ing for others; but one of the most

precious privileges of Mrs. Spurgeon's

••ondition, as she rogardeil it, was to

l»e (leniiitted to undertake somd use-

ful Christian service which, in the

•toys of robust health, would ix)ssibly

never hove boon token up. More thon

all, she was helpful to her husband

in the true sympathy and encouiago-

mont she gave him in the times of his

sovorest wriol.

Writing onro of hor husband, sho

merrily soid: " Door John is very

fond of colling me 'the Missis.' Of

course, John I'loiighman is the Mas-

tor, OS he ought to bo, and- my JUaa

I IT, too. I am proud to confess his

dominion and my sweet thraldom;

but equally, of course, I am ' the Mia

sis,' and if I do sometimefl yearn to

give a lecture, I shall try so to fashion

it that dear John shall think he is

listening to a lyric, and like It im-

mensely. And he does, but it couldn't

be printed."

When the long siege of sickness

hod partially passeil and the invalid

was oneo more able to sit in her ac-

customed chair in the pleasant sitting-

room of the, home at Nightingale

Lane, in Ohiphami she undertook

Christian work with renewed ensrgy

aud seal. Ono of bor* first tank* was

to writ« 0 histoiy of tho Pastor's

Book Fund which, during her invalid

days, sho hod devised and thoroughly

orgonizod. This Fund wos intended

to be tho moans of supplying to poor

pastors with limited incomes such

books as would bo of practical service

to thom iu their ministry. Among

tho books usuolly given ore seven or

eight volumes of the " Treasury of

David," and somo of Mr. Spurgeqn's

sermons, together with other wwjks.

The Fund is not restricted to the Bap-

tist donominotion, but extends.its fa-

vors to ne«Hly preachers of every sect

and in every land under the sun.

Concerning thin work Mrs. Spurgeon

wrote:

" It is the joy of my life thus to

H«»rve tho servants of my Master, and

the daily blessings aud tender provi-

deuTOs which surrouml my work are

more precious to me than words can

express. S<jme of the subjects of my

thankfulness may seem small aud in-

c^insidorablo to others, but to nie they

are of wnstont interest and impor-

tan<-e. My retinyj life shuts out tho

usual pleasures of soi-ial intercourse,

but opens wide a world of glad delight

in thus ' ministering to the nec«ssi

ties of tho saints." I have stxjres of

friends with whose circumstances I

am intimately at^quainted, yet whose

faces 1 have never looked upon. I

hope to know and greet them ou the

other shore;' and meanwhile thoir

love ond prayers are a sweet rewani

for such pleasant service as the Lord

enables me to render them. Ah, if

by his grace we can but win from our

Master the approving words, ' Ye did

it unto me,' the joy of service is thon

only 'a little lower' thon the supremo

felicity of heoven ! "

How the Hook Fund began is l>est

told by Mrs Spurgeon herself. Dur-

ing those days of weoriness and pain,

she wrote:

All lost winter (IH74), in the sun-uiest twuor of tho south window of our es|)ecial sonctum, there stood i rommon garden flower pot, conUin ing a httlo plant which we doomed i niarvol of grace and beauty. We hoa sown some lemon-pips the precedinir autumn, with a lively hope that one might Doesoss tho wonderful life-gorm. In due time, o frail little stem ond ono or two of the tiniest leaves that ever coaxed their way through the dark mould mode their appear once, ond from that moment it was wotchod and wotered and tended w t h assiduous care . . . Some of the v o u n ^ t members of the house^ hold would occasionly ask, with just 0 susnicion of sorcosm in their tone, If there wetne any lemons yetT'but

wo cherishirf pur little plant even more lovingly."

This tiny lemon-plant had its birth

olmoet simultaneously with the Book

Fund.

" I wish," said Mrs. Spurgoon to

hor husband, one day, after reading

the proofs of somo of his lectures,

" that every yoimg preacher in Eng

land could have o copy of those In

his hands."

"We l l , " was the pertinent reply,

' " " " h would you give to do

Her eyes sporklod and then filled with tears. She remembered that in an old bureau up-stain there was a little hoard of crown piooes in a drawer -her mother'a gift. She liad looked at thom often, lorlngly remembering the dear g i m , bat noir hi a momsut iho dspided to p u t with thom, and b«giii thii good wt

tioB} y«t gh« i j iT t io i •h id ing plfloni^iriiiottfli

i

pang. Tho lemon-pip grew to bo a

thriving plant and thon o tree, and

the fund grew with it. I t was on odd

fancy of Mrs. Spurgeon that for every

leaf of the plant sho would got one

hundred pounds for tho Book Fund.

Every bright and shining coin that

wos contributed was hailed " a leaf

for the lemon tree," and soon those

silver leaves for outnumbered tboso of

the young troo. Up to the present

time, the "silver leoves" hove lieen

the means of supplying 122,000 vol-

umes to 12,U00 pastors in dilTerent

parts of the worid! Mrs. Spurgeon's

annual reports of tho Fund are prized

08 little gems of spirituol literature,

ond abound in beautiful oxiwoitions

of Scripture passages ond incidents

drawn from personal experience and

observation. A number hove been

issued by o London publisher under

the title of " Westwood l^otlets " and

hove been widely circulated.

The Book Fund has made Mrs.

Spurgoon's name a household wor«i,

but it is only one of many philon

thropios with which she is identified.

She loves to write, too, and found

time to do much with her graceful

pen that hos been the meoua of cheor

ing mony an olllicted reader. There

is in Susanna Spurgeon o strong po-

etic vein, which occosionolly sparkles

through hor writing with tho soft

brilliancy of o star, while at other

times it steols uDon the reader like a

strain of hidden music. This little

incident, written dunngber long sick-

ness, is one that carries comfort to (he

heart.

" I asked, ' Why does my I>ord (hus

deal with his child! Why does he so

often send sharp and bitter pain to

visit meT Why does he permit lin

gering weakness (o hinder the sweet

service I long to render to his poor

8er\antsT' These fretful .|u««,tion8

were quickly onswered, and (hough

in o strange longiioge. no interpreter

was noetlod save the conscious whis-

per of my own heart. For a, while si

lence reignod in the little room,

broken only by tho cra<-kling of an oak

log burning on tho hearth. Suddenly

I heord o sweet, soft sound, o little

clear, musical note, like tho tender

trill of a robin beneath my window.

' What con that boT' I said to my

companion, who was dozing in tho

firelight; "surely no bird con bo

singing out there at this time of the

year and night.' We listened, ond

again heard the faint, plaintive notes,

so sweet, so melodious, yet myste-

rious enough to provoke for o momeht

our undisguised wonder. Presently

my friend exclaimed, ' I t comes from

the log on the fire!' and we soon as-

certained that her surprisoil assertion

was correct. T/ie flrc irtu Mliuy

looHc the impriaoned uiunic from the

old oak'a inmost heart.' Perchance

he had garnered up this song in the

days when all went wall with him,

when birds twittered merrily on his

branches, and the soft sunlight fiecked

his tender leaves with gold. But he

had grown old since then, aud hanl-

ened; ring after ring of knotty growth

had sealed up the long-forgotten

melody, until the fleroe tongues of

the fUunes came to oonaume his cal-

Imiiness; and the vehement heat of

UM Ore wrung irom him at onoe a

•ong for a Marifloe. Ah, thought I ,

when the On of nffltoUon draws ocmgi

of pialM from u«, th«ii indsed a n wo

purlflad, foA our.Ood I i g l o r i ^ t

BsrhitMi soma of u« ara like thb old

ook-log, cold, hard, and insensible;

we should give forth no more melod-

jous sounds, wore it not for the fire

which kindles ftround us, and releases

tender notes of trust in him, and

cheerful compliance with his will.

' As I mused the fire burned,' and

my soul found sweet comfort iu the

parable w strangely set forth before

me. Singing in the fire. Yes, God

helping us, if that is the only way to

get harmony out of these I w d , apa-

thetic hearts, let tho furnace be heated

soven timofl hotter than before."

Of tho home at Nightingale Lane,

she wrote: "The heart yearns over

8 placo ondoared by an intimate ac-

quaintance of twenty-threo years, and

full of happy or solemn associations.

Every nook and comor Ijoth of house

ond gordeh, abounds with swoet or

sorrowful memories, and the remem-

brance of manifold mercies clings

like a rich UjKJStry to the walls of tho

rooms. On this spot, nearly o quarter

of a iwntury of wedded bliss has been

passed, and our home has been oftener

a ' Bethel' to us than ' Bochim.' "

In oildition to the management of

the Book Fund, Mrs. Spurgeon is

president of a number of diiTerent so-

cieties, oil organized for Christian

work. She is the foundress of the

Working Missionary Society, tho

membership of which is largely com-

posed of ladies who attend the Met-

ropolitan Tabernacle. She is also

active iu Sunday-school work and

takes pleasure in addressing the

scholars occasionally. A glimpse ot

her inner nature is disclosed iu tho

following, written during her illness

end when she was unable to ottond

church servicoe:

"For some time past it bos been the dear Pastor's custom, as soon as the text for tho Lord's day servicoe had boon given by the Master, to call me mto the stutly and permit me to read the various ivmuientories on the sub-jei-t-motter iu bond. Never was occu-pation more delightful, instructive, and spiritually helpful; my heart has often burned within me, as the mean-ing of some passage of God's Word has been Opwied up."

Hor whole life has been of the quiet

inofTensive character that is to humble

Christians all the more beautiful be-

cause undemonstrative, and she is

greatly beloved, not only as a philan-

thropist, but as 0 delightful and ac-

complished hostess, a model wife and

mother, and o high-souled Christian

woman, whose generous heart never

foils to respond to the ciy of the

ofllicted or to comfort the distressed.

Since her bereavement she has re-

ceived and is still receiving many

tokens of sympathy with her in her

aflliction.—C/iri«fian Herald.

Lot each Christian sit down during

how he can increase his etiioienoy as

a member of the church. He will

have no trouble in thinking of ways

in which he is not doing bis duty,

and he will be almost sure to conclude

upon others that will help him to do

better; or, if he can not think of aught

to do, let him ask somo one elsa. His

Brethren Jones and Hailey attend-ed tho Centennial mooting at Jack-son this week.

CuATTANOOOA. Notwithstanding the threatening ap

pearenco of tho weather the attend

anew on the various services was very good. Dr. Spalding is captivating the

congregation of the First Church with

his splendid sermons, so much so that

he who comes after him will have no

easy place lo fill. Who that man will

be seems, if anything, now a more

diHicult problem than heretofore.

Goo<l servi. es were held at both

the (Central and Second Churches and

tho pastors are much encouraged in

ti.eir work.

Tho Highland

Dr. Landrum will not i-ome to

Broadway. He offered bis resigna-

tion to bis Richmond church in order

to come here, but so great was the in

fluence which hischurth and the Rich

mond ministry brought to bear upon

him that he consented to withdraw

his resignation and remain.

The Tennessee stuilentn had a

meeting last Wednesday evening to

become better acquainted with one

another and to devise meons of in

tluencing more of TonnesseeV young

ministry to attend the Semiuary. A

" committee on ways and means " was

appointed, i-onsisting of brethren

from various parts of the State.

Our plans are not yet matured, but

one of our aims will be to extend the

knowledge of what the Seminary ad

vantages are and how they can be

secured.

Any brother who t^ntemplates

attending the Seminary will be cor

diaUy invited to correspond with any

of tho Tennessee bretbiea and we shall

do all we can to make his introduc-

tion into and stay at the Seminary

easy and pleasant. A new student

who has never Uved in the city some-

times finds it embarrassing to enter a

large institution. This feeling we de-

sire to relieve. There are now eleven

Dr. T. P. Crawford wa» born in

Kentucky in 1821 now nearly sev-

enty-one yeari; ago. Mth. Martha

Foster Crawford was Ijom in Georgia

in 1880, having just now paHaod her

sixty-sefond birthday. They were

married in March, IST.l, and started

to China in November of the Name

year. They sailed round the Cajw of

Good Hope and reached Hong Kong,

China, in February, 1852, after sail

ing for one hundro<I and two days.

There they met Revs. Doau and John-

sou of the American Baptist Mimion-

ary Union. There they found a few

Chinese church menibers, all of whom

were employed by the missionaries

and kept at a distance fro ii them.

The great Mr. GoodslolT, a German

missionary, hatl just dioil, and his

life and work wern prominent in

thx minds of the then very few inis-

sionarien. He employed hundreds of

Chinese to proach nnd sell Bibles.

He reported thousands of Bibles sold.

I.Ater a netv man came to join Mr.

G. The new comer suspected that

more Bibles were reported sold than

were ever scattered abroad; so he

marked some of them, when the col-

porteurs started out, and they boou

returned and reported all sold, and

he sent them to the Chinese print«r

to purchase more. They soon re-

turned, having the marked books,

end it was discovered that they had

bean selling the books to the printer,

then again buying the same and sell-

ing back to him until they (wuld re-

port thousands void. These pruoch-

eni and Bible sellers all went lo the

bad. This will not lie woudered at

when I tell you that he 'preachml

"Get the people into the church and

convert them aftorwarda." Dr. Craw-

ford saw and heard ihepe things im-

mediately on reaching China, and

formed the idea tbot it was not

healthy lo hire Chinese to do relig-

ious work with foreign mouey, and

he has never reoorered from that

idea yet, while many olhers have

come to hold similar Tiews.

Dr. and Mrs. 0, arrived at their

field, Shanghai, in Marob, 1862, forty

yean Rgo next month. This ,wks

t h ^ field for twelve years. M n , 0.

wiis oompetted to go to Jkmarlos on

•ooount of befelth in l$67, Dr. O. fol'

lowing »yMr latertiud tbey rttumed

in 1800. t ^ a h e f l n t i t w t e d l t o .

C. encountered a severe typhoon soon

after leaving Shanghai, aud had bu

almost miraculous encniie. The sail

vtjHsel was stripped of all its sails and

masts and of all its aut hors but one.

She was rapidly ilrifliug before the

terrific wind exactly toward a very

dangerous riK-k hidden in the sea.

One day at nightfall the captain told

them they had ouly six hours till the

Vifssel would bo ilashiui to pieces up-

on the rocks. 11« had the sailors

prepare rupes aud give to each pass-

euger with which to fasten theni-

solves to a piece of timber witen the

wreck should come. Dr. and Mrs.

Vatcs aud daughter wore also alioard.

All tired and weary from the days of

anxious waitihg in the storm, the

survantN of (tod Iny down to sleep.

They awoke in the iiiorniiiif to find

they bad drifted safely nround the

rofk, while the wind wiut Hiilisiding.

The captain, nn rxp<«ripuc<Hl sailor,

saiil: " Vou have but nix boiira more

to live." Christ, the ^reat Captain

of our Salvation, said; " 1 have yet

many years of sorvicp for some of

you." The captain doc-larwl it to b«

only by a miracle that tbey estrapod

the rock. Th«iy wore transferred to

a Siamese Man of War. and through

much ditliculty returned to Shanghai

in ten days.

In Shanghai, when the (Vawfords

first arrived, our Board had several

missionaries, a few memliers and

three cha|Ml.s, one that cost ¥ir>,OIX).

Here they did some school work and

preached the gos|>el as they bad op

portunity. Mrs. C. was one of the

very first women to join her husband

in evangelistic work. In one of the

girls' schools they gavo to each girl

I'II raitli about one cent a day to

cotno to H<;b(K)l. They woro among

the very first to do this—bribing them

they now call it- and so they feel

that they are i^apable of knotving

something of its evil tendency, and

have a right to fight it now. They

would now sooner cut off their right

hands than do such. So would I.

During their sojourn in Shanghai

they passed through several terrible

rebellions. The city was one of those

captured by the fied headed Rebels

and then liesieged for eighteen months

by the imperial soldiers. Dr. and

Mrs. C. were living in the city at the

time. They had to get out to live,

but continued to go into the city to

their work for more than a year, run-

ning in between the firing of the

guns directed against the city, with

the balls falling around them.

During this twelve years in Shang-

hai they also passed through several

severe stwurges of cholera. At one

time the people were dying at the

rate of 1,ri()() a day. Dead bodies lay

all around until it was loathsome.

During these twelve years came also

the American war, when supplies

were out off from America, except

very irregularly, and the missionaries

were left mainly to support them-

selves as best they could.

Dr. and Mrs. Crawford moved to

Tungt'bow, MO miles north of Shang-

hai, in 180.*), on account of being<'bro-

ken down in health. Messrs. Holmes

and 'Hartwell had preceded tbem a

short time before. They^oame here

now nearly twenty-nine yean ago.

tt%^boni decided that they should

noi oeoupiy it. I t bad to be eatsrad

l i ^ aid of the United SUtea Oon-

Hill and by threatoiiing of fire arms.

They would not advise others to take

a housiD now in that way, nor would

they do so now. Horo they have wMin,

too, a very sorioiis reliellion by tbo

Long haired IteMs. They laitl wiisttt

whole villages and towns nnd ttxik

have never yet returiiod homo. Many

C. bad hundreds of tboni nt tboir

wounded, distributing mmlicinx nnd {

preaching to thousatulH of tboiii. |

They have also lived horo during tbo ,

trying faminea in this province; and

have also seen some fearful HcoiirgoH

of cholera and other pestilence. |

Mrs. Crawfonl inducted a iMjys'

boarding school in this city for fif |

teen yean, in which she did most

excellent work, nnd at tbo saino

time went from village to village in i

the country and from houst» to botiHo ,

in the city telling the story of (Jotl's ,

lovo to lost people. i

Almut ten years ago, finding tb«

scIkhiI n groat tax on lior montnl nml |

physical strength, ns woll ns on tbo |

mission troasury, she was brought

face to face with tho ipHMtiun ns to '

whether this ivns tbo wisest ox|>ond'

itiiro of money nnd time. She saw

that unless they constantly employed

these mlucated lioys educated with

mission money tbey would go to

otherdenominations, where thoy could

get employment to do religious work.

She thouijhl she also saw that to so

employ them—^pay them to work for

the Lxird- was to make menrhandiso

of the gospel and disregard the call

of Oo<l to men to do specially relig-

ious work. So the school was aban-

doned, nnd these years have lieen

given to most untiring proclamation

of tho glad tidings of salvation. Into

hundreds of villages all around have

tbey borne, through heat and cold, in

season and out of season, the tidings

of peace and life. Some have bo-

lieved, accepted and preceded them

to glory; many have boon perfectly

heedless; many others have reviled

and abused; but fearlessly and 'pnt'-

ently they have sown tlie seeds of

truth by all waters, expecting the in-

o r e ^ from God. Bach of them has

prepared several very useful and

helpful books in Ciiinese.

It Is now nearly forty-one years

since they were set apart tc their

life's work at the Convention in Nash-

ville, Tenn. Most of those who at-

tended that (Tonvention have entered

into their reward. Most of the few

who remain have gone on in the rush-

ing, busy Anwrioan life till they have

almost foigotten that Dr. and Mn.

Crawford still linger on this side of

Uie river. Of all tbe missionaries In

1)1 BKV. T. W. VUI NO.

The man whoso activities engage

him in the seareh for truth shall fight

in many battles, but will also And

peaceful shades under which to rest.

'Truth is to l»o proferrml before all

things, nor is it wrong for the sake of

truth to oppose the law." Man is a

means for theglory of God, and is also

an end unto himself. It was by the

" son of man" that truth was made the

light of the world, and it is to be

through man that truth shall be

triumphant, but the glory of the

Creator can ouly be manifested in the

effulgence of its splendor in the ac-

complishment of the perfection of the

creature. Man's perfection constitutes

tho goal of bis activity to which he

t«nds, and toward which he ought to

tend; for he who was the Truth com'

manded his followen, " Become ye

fwrfect." But no man can become so,

unless he possesses tbe truth and Uvea

by It perfectly. Paul preached, and

the Bereans searohed the Scriptures

lo see if tbe things preached were so.

"Truth ia the property of Ood, the

punuit of truth is what belongs to

man;" but in this punuit man is often

diverted by selBsbness or oirotim-

stances, or some slran voice of sin de-

tains bim Ull truth bas escaped bis

grtMp. All truth Uiat pertalna to olur

redempUon must rMt finfUy in Ood,

whose lipwi mui l be absolutol/ thie

bocauHo they oxpross God's will, and

therefore Paul could say of them they

are just, holy, good, and spiritual.

But God's truth may be one thing

and man's interpretation of it may bo

(|uite a di/Terent thing. There has no

heresy arisen but what appeals to the

Bible for its oxistence. It is tho boast

of tho many religious denominations

iu existence that they hold the truth.

Each one claims the possession of

some distinctive truth that makes its

existence essential. Tho contention

of creeds for the truth is a noble one,

but degenerates into a fault when

each one boasts of holding tho whole

truth, possessing monopoly in this

rore and gracious commodity. In the

midst of this religious whirl ami con-

tention it is no wontler that we somo-

times breathe a sigh of bewilderment

oud cry, "Ob, wboro Hball truth be

found "' Now, if tho laws of logic are

tnie, all of these opposing croetls can-

not bo true, but n truer statement

may be that none of them hold God's

truth perfectly. If truth makes the

existence of one essential, tho same

truth condemns the existence of all

others. It will bo a surprising fact

on that day of the revelation of Jesus

Chnst that no man, nor body of men,

possessed all the truth, or any single

truth rfectly. Our busiueas bore is

not to contend for a monopoly ol

truth, but in all humility to live by

what we think we have, and earnestly

continue the search for more knowl-

edge. If the revelation of God iu its

nature was progressive, the under-

I standing of it is eiiually so. The

divine order is "sook and ye shall

find," and as we grow in grace wo also

grow in knowle<lgo. Tho Spirit is

promisoti to guide us in tho search,

ond also to fill us with tho spirit of

wisdom and understanding, but it is

a delusion to think any one is yet full.

He who stops seeking, and liegins con

tending, will soon realize that he is a

stunted growth. Consciousness of

power brernls tryanny ordissolutenoss,

and so the feeling of omnistuouce

bretnls superciliousnens, contempt for

wortliy seekers, or tiegenerates into

stolid indilTerence. God has yet more

truth to break forth from his word

than we can imagine. The search in

the mine brings to light new nuggets

of gold. The apostles grow wiser as

they grew older, and tho continuous

seeker shall be a continual finder.

All progress, social, political, etiuca

tional, moral and religious, will bring

to light truths hitherto concealed, or

a fuller conception of some old truth.

The scribe instructed in the law will lie

continually bringing out of his treas-

ury things now and old. Lessingonce

said: "Did tho Almighty, holding in

his right hand tnifh, and in his left

gearch for-truth, deign to tender me

the one I might prefer, in all humility,

but without hesitation, I should re-

quest wareh-after-truth." I t is both

^ t i f y i n g and atimuhiting to be con-

scious of making progress. It is quick-

ening in mind and spirit to reaUze

growth in grace and knowledge of

divine truth. But it is deadening to

all spiritual energy to fancy that we

have attained unto perfection in learn-

ing or living.

The dictum of Malebranoheis worthy

of thought: If I held truth captive

n my haiid;' I should open my hand

and let It fly; in o i d ^ that I might

again punue and capture^ it/' Tho

It is by hope that wo are saved, and hojie is always looking lie-yond; it never is, but always is to lie, and in this life, as Jean Paul Ilichter says, " I t is not Uie goal, but the course that makes us happy," " I count not myself to have apprehended, but this one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and reach-ing forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

A Non Crlmliiaiilj.

I have just now transferretl to my

scrap book an article with the altove

caption, clipped from tho Sunday

edition of ono of the groat dailies, some

of whose positions are absolutely very

alarming, supported as they aro by

,a startling array of facts. The main

conclusion, in the article, is that the

habitual use of alcohol, on the port of

parents, entails upon their offspring

homicidal instincts. As a fearful dem-

onstration of the truth of thi8<con-

clusion, while until within a few years

it was the man or woman of mature

ago who was the assassin, we now see

that it is the youth of twenty years

and under who murders and commits

suicide; that in Poris, in Now York,

and elsewhere, in all the haunts ol

vice, there are children, by the thou

sands, who are only waiting the op-

portunity to become assassins. Nor

are these terrible conse<] iienoes limited

to the degraded and altogether vicious

classes. The alcohol habit in parents

forming the highest circles of society

transmits the criminal instincts to

their posterity er|ually with those of

the loivest. It is not necessary to the

conditions of (hose dire results that

the drink habit should amount to

habitual drunkenness in the<'onimon-

ly recei vod meaning of that word. So

called mo<lerate, but habitual indul-

gen<!e in akvholic intoxicants by the

parents creates the inheritance of

criminal instinct for the children. It

is not alone the appetite for i ntoxicants

that is inherited, nor the criminal

appetite alone, nor merely an en-

eebled physii«l constitution. These

are dreadful legacies. But as wo have

seen it is the criminal desire—the de-

sire to shed blood, to commit murder.

Normally most persons would be born

without this desire, and be conscious

as they grew up to maturity, in a

greater or less d^rree. of a feeling that

takes them out of themselves, that

causes them to rejoice with the joy of

othera. Not so with the drunkard in

his paroxysm of iutoxicstion. Al-

coholic intoxication gives domination

to the bad in his emotional nautre,

and fits him for deeds the most

criminal and cruel. In such condition

he is an emotional maniac with mur-

derous cravings, under the influence

of which people every day*embrue

their bands in the blood of their best

friends, including their wives and

their ohildran. "The deaths caused

by drunken people are enormous be-

yond all published statistics. Directly

and indirectly wiviM, babes, unborn

babes, are unsafe in the presence of

this monstrous condition." "Hal f the

dMths are odn<9Mled.'* It is the taach-

ngs of the'articltf T am miawing that

an

ment, and fixing upon them a perma

nent intoxication of the moral nature."

If the greatest crime a human being

can commit be to entail a curse on his

posterity, certainly the indulging in

habits that rob his own children of

moral sanity is that crime. Where

shall we find a remedy for this curseT

is a burning question whose thunder

tones should reach every ear, and

rouse every moral energy. No ap-

peal with any confidence can Iwmade

to the lovers of intoxicants. "Al-

ready enfeebled in their sentiments of

honor and tinselfishness, little can

be hoped from them. Ahwady their

moral sentiments are homicidal." Any

appeal to the maker or vender of in-

toxicants would be utterly hopeless.

He too is largely homicidal. It is for

the most part his profit, but largely

his moral gratificiuion aud brutal

passions that control him. " He is,

to a great extent, insane in his emo

tions."

Meanwhile the horrible crime goes

" multiplying "crimes and crimi-

nals," increasing "enormously our

taxes," throwing "our inbtitutions"

more and more " intotlie |>ower of the

saloon." And now the horrible fact

stares us iu the fatw that the next

^neration will be so utterly demorai-

zed 08 that our great centers of popu-

ation will betwme slaughter pens. I

am no iiessimist, but with all my opti-

mism, I believe that the influence of

saloonism is so rapidly increasing

youthfulcriminality.andcausingsuch

widespread havoc and devastation in

all ranks of soc;iety that there are the

most urgent reasons for alarm. There

s no time for conservatism. The evil

s radiral, and must Iw taken up by

the roots. We need a thousand agita-

tors-alarmists if you please-like

lohn the Baptist, uttering in trumpet

ones the ciy of alarm, and laying the

ax of extermination at tho roots of

alcoholism. " We must save our boya

and girls by going to the roots of our

institutions." J . W. B.

In these days of the new theol-

ogy in which, as it has been said,

what is new is not true, and what

is true is not new—and of a now

fashioned religion, it would be

well for more of as to sing that

song. Let us see what kind of ro-

li^on the old time religion was.

We give only a few characteris-

tics.

L i t had stuff in i t It was not

n hollow, pithy weed, a Iwneless,

backbonele«8 jelly-fish, a soft, sick-

s(|nare and strong. It believed

something. I t had conviction,

principle. lt« faith was to it tho

Huhatancf of things hoped for, the

rridcnc^ of t h i n^ not seen. It

belieTc<l that you had to believe

something. I t did not think that

an opinion was as good as n con-

viction, nor that it made no differ-

ence what yon believed, jnat so

you were honest As a result, the

old time religion was something

real, tangible, with a body of flesh

and blood, i t was something to

be talked about by the fire side

and acted upon in the daily life, to

be ptaoticed on Monday as well as

Sundajr. Its songs were not lively

The iligiiity of Ciotl rather than

the dignity of man was its theme-

ttod's ability ami man's inability,

rather than, as we often hear now,

man's ability and (rotl's inability.

Yes, the old time religion had ,i„ eusample to them that believe,

was l)efore the water, nnd the wn- i„ faith, in purity." ( 1 Tim. iv. I'i

Said Paul to Timothy, " Be thou

-

hell." That was not so, ns Mr

Ingersoll, we fear, will find some

day to his sorrow. But we have

no doubt that he would be glad if

somebiHly could do so. And there

are now many profe88«3il {)reachers

of the gospel who seem to be try-

ing either to knock the bottom out

of hell entirely or to make it only

a kind of nice, pleasant place in

which to stop and spend a while

on the way towards heaven, or at

least to refine it away as much as

possible, pouring the water of their

teachings upon its tires to cool

them down a little. But the old

time religion believed in hell- the

old-fashioned brimstone and sul-

phur hell, where the worm dieth

not and the fires are not (|uenchod.

Sometimes it seemed to believe in

it most too strongly. It mode you

smell the brimstone and feel tho

heat and see the lurid glare of. the

flamea But this only showed tho

rcality«f its belief in the awful

place. To it there was a dreadful

meaning in the word of the Lord,

"The soul that sinneth it shall

die," and that "The wicked shall

be turned into hell with all the

nations that forgot Qod," and it

felt that its business was to want

sinners " to flee the wrath to come"

and then to point them to "the

Lamb of Ood which taket^ away

the sin of the world." Binai with it

was the lineal ancestor of Oalvaiy,

the kw was our ** school'master to

used. In both cases, however, the

(treek word is the one from whn li

our wonl /;//>'• com«'s. Paul en-

joins u|ion thi-s*' young ministers,

and upon all ministers in all ages,

that they are t<) Im« tyjjes, patterns,

examples for Iwlievers. Tho pas-

tor is to IM? n leader of his people,

practicing what he preaches, going

himself where he asks them to fol-

low. He is not to be a sign board,

pointing tho way which he never

travels, but rather a guide along

the road to Heaven, leading the

way himself. He is not to be a

priest, professing to bo so much

better than other people, exalted

above them as if he were a kind of

demigod. He is to be one of them,

a man among men, and he should

be a manly man, one whom the

people will odmiro and lovo and

delight to follow. It is his buai-

nesa to bring tho pulpit and the

pew nearer together, not by lower-

ing the pulpit, but by elevating

the pew. He is to develop his

people in all tho Christian graces.

And this can best bo done by ex-

ample. Emerson has given a fine

variation to tho trite saying that

actions sponk louder than words,

as follows: "Your actions thun-

der so loud that I cannot hear

what you say." Tho minister out

of the pulpit is scrutiuieed to see

it he believed what he said when

he was in. Whether out or in he

' should be the same in all essential

ro8puct«. But, alas I tliero is often

tho most painful incoagiuity-be-

tween his charactt^rs in the two

places. Oftentimes tho minbtur ,

unconsciously, unintentionally, be-

comi'B a kind of Dr. Jekyll and

Mr. Hyde - Dr. Jekyl l in the pul-

pit, Mr. Hytle out of i t I t was

said of a certain preacher that

when he was in the pul|)it, his peo-

ple felt thnt he should never come

out. nnd when he wns out, they

fell thnt he aliould never go in.

But what renl gootl coiilil such a

man n t c o m p l i s h W h a t influence

could he exert for ennobling nnd

uplifting the livtjs of those to

whom he ministeretl V " Like peo-

We have sometimes wontlered if

people are not disfxised tt» think

that we have too much of praise

nnd too little of blame to say about

our Baptist brethren. And per-

haps some imagine that wo are

either lacking in the critical fac-

ulty or are too timid to express

our convictions. To such - if there

be such let us say that it is a set-

tled policy of ours to say as little

in condemnation of our own breth-

ren as possible. Wo can go for

tho Catholics, give tho Compbell-

a lick, touch up tho Mothoil-

ists and smite sin with good grace;

but we confcBs it goes against the

grain to say anything hard about

our brethren, unlosa it bo demand-

ed by very spccial occasion. We

have enough mutual oneuiios to

fight without fighting oRch other.

We in Tennesseo and all over the

South need, wo believr, more,

brotherly lovo eoch for tho other,

and especially among our ministry.

Wo have hod enough of wars and

strife in our own household. Now

let us have poace. We all have

our good side and our bad side.

Let. ug look only for the good in

our brethren. And if we can say

nothing good of them lot us say

nothing at all.

Let us do nothing and say noth-

ing which will injure tho reputa-

tion or iiilluence of any brother,

liot us rather stand by and uphold

and encourage each the other, and

let us march forward all together

in the name of Him "whost; ban-

ner over us is love."

Ans.— 1. Alien immersion is not accepted by the Baptist churchra of tne Houthern Baptist Conven-tion to any considerable extent C/omparatively few occept it. The vast majority reject it as nuscrii>-tural, becouse they Ixjlieve tl^t scripture examples, as well as logic, require that a man must have bran baptized himself before he is the proper person to baptix.o others, nnd that there must be the proper church authority in onlor to valid baptism.

2. The general Baptist usage is to elect deacons, not annually, but for life. Certainly they should be Ordained. We know that Iho fint seven deacons were onlained. See Actsvi. l -(!.

manent one which required a sol-emn setting apart to it, as was the case with the elder. The two ofli-cos indeed go together, and are freiiuontly mentioned in connec-tion with each other. Tho quali-fications of tho deacon are almost the same as those of tho bishop. One is to attend to the spiritual affairs of the church, and the other to the temfioral. But there is- a dignity attaching to both offices, from which an annual election to tho ollice, and tho absence of any ceremony of initiation into it would greatly detract, it seems to us. riie Lord ha<l a good reason for all of his actions. It is best for us to follow his pattern, so far as we can.

(jues.- Will you kiudly advise me, either through the columDN of your paper or pnvatoly, what the Bible do4-triue of the divorce is, and refer-<Mie«H eorrespondiog. That you may not be put to much trouble you may anstver the following quoatioos: (I), May a woman get a divon« under any cireumstancesT (2), May a man marry a divorced woman under any circumstances and uot exiuimit adul torvT W. I'. MAI BY.

Athens. Ala.

Ana The Bible dcK-triue of di-vorce, we Ijelieve, is that a man may not put away his wife, or as we express it, got a tlivorce from h«'r, save for the cause of fomico-tion. On tbat ground he moy se-cure a divorce, but on no other. The following passages of scrip-ture will sufficiently establish this, we think: ( Mark x. 11 12.1 "And he saith unto them, whosoever slmli put away his wife, and marry another, committeth atlultery against her. .\nd if a woman shall put away her husband, and 1m' married to another, she com-mitteth adultery." ( Mott v. HL '.i'l I " I t hath l>een said, whoso-ever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce-ment But I say unto you, that wlmsoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery ; ami whosoever shall marry her that is divorced oommittoth adul-tery." To answer your ipieetions separately we should soy: 1. The same law of divorce applies to a woman as appli(« to a man. 2. If the woman's husbantl hod com-mitted odulterv, ond she had boon divorced from him on that account, she is at liberty to marry f^ain, and neither she nor the man she morries commits adultery in that case.

—Apropos of Dr. Honson's visit to Nashville we may repeat the story of the famous passage of wit between him and Dr. (now Bishop) J. H. Vin-<»nt at Chautauqua. Dr. Henson was to lecture there, as here, upon "Fools." In introducing him Dr. Vincent said: "Ladies and gentle-men, we shall now have a lecture on Fools by one"—(when the laughter bad subsided)—"of the wisest men in the country." Dr. Henson rose and began: " Ladies and gentlemen, I am not as big a fool as Dr. Vin-cent "—(pause, laughter)—" thinks I am." Which got the better of itT

— In a spicy little paper, called The Hapliat Faith, published by Rev. J .

D. Winchester, pastor of the church at Rock wood, who recently came to us from the Methodists, he says that while be was a Methodist pastor a prominent physician, who was a Qua-ker, wanted to join his church if he could be received without water bap tism, in which he did not beUeve. Bro. Winchester says he was compelled to refuse him membership in the church; although he had reason to beUeve that the man was a child of the Lord, and asks. Am I any more inconsistent now in prohibiting persons whom I believe to be the Lord's children from communing at the Lord's table than I was in prohibiting that man from memliership in the " Lord's church?"

—A certain minister of our ac-quaintance, who used to be a deacon, was once asked, while deacon, by his pastor to hold prayers at the home of a Methodist brother, who had a Bap-tist wife. The deacon went and un-dertook to go through with his duty, but was naturally a httle embarrassed. In the course of his prayer he in-tended to say: " 0 Lord, grant that these thy servants may be Uke thy servants of old, Zacharias and Elliza-betb, walking in all the oommand-ments and ordinances of the Loid blamelnss." But when he got to the place he couldn't think of the names of Zacharias and Elizabeth to save his life. So be said the fint names which came into his head, and prayed, "O Lord, grant that these thy ser-vants may be like thy servants of old, Ananias and Sapphira." He teUs this on himself, and says that be doesn't beUeve the Methodist brother noticed the mistake.

—The term lynch law is a Revolu-tionary inheritance. In 1780, when the American cause was at a low ebb, it is said the Scotch Tories of Pied-mont, Va., conspired to crush the "re-bellion." Col. Charles Lynch, of Vir-ginia, and several other gentlemen cle-termined to thwart their efforts. They kept a strict watch upon the loyalists, and when one was discovered playing into the hands of the enemies of Washington, he was seized, taken to the residence of Col. Lynch, examinsd by a court, composed of himself and others, and if found guilty, tied to a walnut tree, given thirty-ulne lashes and made to shout," Liberty forever," after which he was set free with words of counsel and admonition.

is in the eastern part of Aaia. There

are over 401),000,OOP inbabiUnta.

Their religion is the Buddhist. I con

not tell you bow many main mission

stations there are, but maybe aome

of the other oouslns can give a more

correct answer. I want aome of your

pretty Cards when you send t)ien> out.

The United States Government Both Endorses and Uses

Royal Baking Powder.

Last year the Royal Baking Powder Co. sold to the United States Government over 80.000 pounds of baking powder-enough to supply both army and navy.

The last United States Government r ^ port shows Royal Baking Powder to be a cream of tartar powder superior to all others in purity and strength.

This purchase and this endorsement were made by the United States Government upon competitive tests of the various lakiiig powders of the market. • '

It means: ; 1. That when such mou as Uener-:

al Longstltiet, Oeneral Turner, Gov | emor Hubbard. Colonel Avery, Rev. W. G. E. Cunningham, Rev. J. B. Hawthorne and Rev. Sam Jones try a medicine and ^ive it their un-qualified indoraement the people be-lieve them.

2. That Gennetuer has done all that its most ardent friends have de-t^lared that it would do.

3. That it has mastered LaGrippn, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia, Nervous de-bility, Insomnia, Kidney troubles, Asthma, Summer oomplainta and Ca-tarrh wherever it has been tried.

4. That the discovery of Germe-tuer is the most valuable contribution that this century has made to medical science.

As a spring medicine it has no equal. I t invigonitefl the stomach, aids di-gestion, tone* up tbe system and*lhus bringd health and happiness. In this respect no other romedy can compare with it.

It pays to bo well infonuud aud to havo large and accurate conceptions of roligiouH dution. Huncu it pays to " Huarch the Scriptiiren," to read good ruligioiiH literature, to subHcribe, pay for and read our denominational pa porH.

Why not, then, every Baptist in TonbesHee, and aa many more OH will, take and road the BAPTIHT AND REFLEI-TOB, which ia right in the front rank of our denomina-tionaj papera. This ia eHpetually the duty of every Baptiflt iu TennosBee. Try if, brethren, and see if itdon't pay.

innumerable miracles wrought by this ' - — -

imago, whoso g lo ry is so great that ^ afterwanls that she had some ache in many, on visiting it for tho first time,' in that haml. a n d was hoping in this

amazed lieyond meoBure, could but '

exclaim with the Quoeu of Sheba.

" Behold, tho half waH not told mo I" One morning, wishing to soe for my-

Holf, I onlero<i tho famous church of

San Agostiuo. It was an oniinary

ilay, and there was no 8|)«cial sorvitw

to attract the people.

I found about one liundrod iiorsons

proflout, but otherH constantly coming

and goiug. At tho farther ond of

the church, boforo tho high altar, a

priest stoo<l mumbl ing tho servico iu

an unknown languogu, while to my

loft a group of about twenty poraons

were kncoling Ijoforo tho nbovo mon-

tionotl imago of tho Virgin. I aat down

toobsenreandtakonotofl. After prayor

each ono stops up and klnsos tbe foot

of tho imago, pressing tho.foroheatl

ou tbe same, and making the sign of

the f ross. Some repeat the operation

sevoral times, rubbing also the aides

of the face and tbe eara on the foot^

One old woman, after thrloe kioaing

the foot devouUy, pwoMd her tan-head to It t h i M Umao, laid l i e r ^ d

upon It, and, hald i t thora a momettt,

dropped her UtUe ooniribuUcm into

the box which i tood lmiBg iaUve^

near, and i tepplng loidfl, d ipped har

flngns into th t holjr ( I ) oU and mbb i d ,

i it al l over one of hnr hoiula. \' t

way to got rid of it. A man after

kissing the foot several times, dipped

his fingors into tbo oil, and then

touche<l the top of bis head, his

throat, tho back of his neck, and

finally drew his fiDgora entirely

around bis neck.

Two small school-boys, satchel in

hand, presented themselves. The

taller ono managed, by standing on

tiptoe, and stretching bis nei^k as far

as possible, to reach the foot, and im-

print a kiss upon it. Tbo smaller boy

made a faithful ofTort, but after all

his straining and stretching, his lips

remained about six inches below the

foot. As he turned to bis friend it

was interesting and amusing to no-

tice the expression on his face, which

seemed to be a commingling of won-

der, misehief and perplexity.. After

another faithful trial ha gare it up

and Joined hia little compaaion. One

old woman, aftar l o m l i n g aoma Uma

in p m f w , roaa, and, appraaohing tha

I n ^ laid har hand on tha toot and

hold ifc there, o then walUng bahind

for thair turn. . 8h(> aeamed aloMit

«aa oartainly i n no i u m r . T a l d ^

bte^hand awiijr aha kfrnud tha foot,

a n d p r a o N d bar r i j ^ t t f a upon it,

kissetl it again, and pressed her left

eye upon it, and still again, pressing

hor forehead upon it. The fourth

time she kissed it, holding hor lips a

long time ou the foot. Stepping to

the littio lamp near by. she dipped

hor finger in the oil, and touched her

eyes and forehoad, and turning again

to tbe image, made the sign of the

cross, courteeied, and stood for a mo-

ment with folded bands and uplifted

face. She aeemed loth to leave, and

coming nearer ooiirtosiod again, and

passing the imago sho boot her knee

agaiu in adoration. On her way to

tbe door she bowed and kissed an old

picture of tho image, and dipping ber

finger in tbe holy water sho made the

flign of the cross, and bowod again,

and Just before leaving tbo door she

turned and faced the high altar at

the other end of tho church, where

the oonaecrated host is kept, and

mada the sign of the croas, and bowed

again.,

^ P o o r woman, apparent^ ainoero

a n l devout, bu t l o y a l l y deluded.

Kaar the oloaa of the aervloea, when

moat of tha peop l e i t ^ laft tha church,

I entoiad into po fd iVf^Qn ilitth the aa-

Ofiatatt. " f i a i « 70u i | r i i i i a t a d hiatoiy

of thia i m t g a f ' I M i i t i i i i d to a ^

f Oyaa," Im l i i i l led, J ' W j b f o i nldtf

book, iaUlit^ »UAbout thaditt ioh, the

miracles. To tell about them all would

be quito imposaiblo, for it would re-

quire volumes and volumes." I bought

the book, and as I handed h im the

money, he said that I might add some-

I thing for the Madonna, but I begged

to be excused. " You seem to havo

very many native offerings in the

church." " Yea, we have many thou-

I sands, BO that there is no longer any

room for* them on the walls of the

church, and each native ottering rep-

resents a miracle." " Does the image

'really work miracles 7" " W h y , cer-

|tainly, they are constantly taking

place. People come with headache,

earache, sore eyes and other diseases,

and by touching tbe diseased part to

I the foot of tbe image, and anointing

I it with the holy oil, they are cured."

I That exp l a i n ^ what I had seen.

I " Well, I must tell you frankly that I

tielieve iu the Lord, but I cannot be-

lieve iu images," " Ah lbu tyou must j believe if you want to be saved. Why,

do you know that a man came here

intending to kiss the image, but

though he tried several times he found

it impossible to touch his lifM to tbe

foot. Can you toll why? Ho bad not

IHSOU to confession for a long time,

and after having confessed be found

I no trouble in kissing tho foot. He told

me afterwards that it seemecl to him

that every time he triod to kiss tbe

^ image invisible bands hold him back.

A few years ago, when the church

was being repaired, a man fell from

0 roof (LSO ft.) headforemost, on to

the marble floor, and was not serious-

ly hurt. The image sa\-fld him. See,

here is tbe picture." "D id you see tbe

man when ho fell on his head T" "Oh !

1 was right where we stand now, and

he fell just where tbe woman with a

red dress is kneeling." " But I want

to know if you really saw him when

be came down on bis hoad from that

high pointT" " I tell you I was stand-

ing right hero." Though I repeated-

the queetion, I could nevor get him

to say that he saw the man when he

struck the marble floor on his head,

I again assured him that I could not

believe in images, or in their power

to work miracles, though I believed

iu the l iord , and loved him, and had

boon blessed by him, and expected to

8pen<;etemity with him. " O h I but

you cannpt be saved unless you be-

lieve in tho Pope, the Holy Mother

Church, the Madonna, and other doo-

,trinaa of the Church. You must be-lieve ii all." Al l or none is the doo-

trine taught by tha Ohuroh of Boma
