AT a special meeting of th~ Plainfield Sev­enth-day Baptist church, ill the evening of l\farch 28, called for the purpose of choosing a pastor, Rev. Arthur E. Main, D. D., was Inade the unanimous choice. Brother lVI~in has served the church faithfully and well since last October, which gives good promi~e of great u~efullless in his continued labors.

WITH our dear friend and brother Huffman, the struggle is over, and he bas gone to his rest. Word comes to us that his remains were taken t,O Milton last Thursday for burial. FI'oln the earthly side, as we view the case, our hearts are pa.ined and we are in sorrow for his dear cornpanion and ourselves; but from the heavenly side, our tears ·9,re turnf>d to joy, becalH,e another victory is won, an­other fa.ithful soldier of the cross bas been welcomed to the joys of the life eternal. He had battled maufully and hopefully with t.he enemy for more than a year. But God knew best. Our brother's work was done; and, throug·h the triumph of t,h~ disease came the greater victor'y to him who had ., fought a good fight," and was well prepared for the invitation to enter into rest. We have no particula,rs of his closiug' houTs. They will be furni~hed in due tinle. Brethren, as our ran ks are thining- we must" close up" and continue the warfare until our turn shan come to join the innumerable throng.

THE New York Indppendent bas the follow­ing' sensible words on the proposed vicious ex­bibition of the late di~graceful prize fight in Nevada. \Ve heartily endorHe the sentiment:

Prize fighting is prohibited in every state, with one or two exceptions, in the whole country. At the late fight in Carson City, kinetoscope pictUl·es were taken, and th .. y are to be repl'odueed and; exhibited all over the country.· How much difference i~ there between the real thing and such an exhibition~ shown on the screen, life­size and with color.? The latter has almost as great a power to brutalize the people and demoralize children as well as older people as the fight it~eIf. If a prize fight is illegal, the exhibition of a prize fight ought to be illegal, and we hope thatstate It>gislatures will make it 80 this winter. Certainly it is quite as important to prevent the public exhibition of u prize fight by the kine­tOBcope as it ia to forbid portraits and caricatures' of living people without their permission.

THE Ave lttltiria:"'a "Catholic maga.zine" publiHhed at ,Not,re Dame, Ind., has the fol­lowin'g notice of the "-Cat,holicization of Prot­estantism On the Sabbath Question," pub­li~hed at this office. On page 373 of the March issue it says:

The growing influence of Catholicism in the United States alarms the Rev. Abram Herbert Lewis, of Plain­field, N. J. He thinks it should be arrested. and he has just issued a little book which he wants Protestants to read with "care and prayer." He says that the one purpose of the church is "to make this a Christian na­tion after the Roman Catholic pattern." There is no use in denying this statement, and we may as well con­fide to B1'O. L.ewis that the Catholic church has similar designs on every other country. We find ourselves in agreement with the reverend writer on quite a number of points. He says that" our form of government and the spirit. of the age give Roman Catholicism better chance for unfolding ,and fol' gaining inflq..ence her~ th~:p it has under any other skies." That is precisely what we think, Brother; but men of your kind were of a very different opinion in times past. It used to be' held, you remerbber, that 'the free air of liberty was fatal to " Popery," that -, Romanism" could never flourish under the Stars and Stripes, etc. That was all foolish talk, of course. -,Bro. Lewis admires the zeal and unity of the church. "All skies have witnessed to her missionary zeal, all lands have felt the presence of her purposes." . These en­during characteristics seem marvelous to him, "consid­ering the age of Roman Catholicis~ "-which, however, is just three hundred and ninety~seven years greater than he Flupposes. Protestantism, on the other hand, according to Bro. Lewis, "presents a, picture which is, wholly the reverse of that presented by Roman Catholi-

1111. cism. In the United States, for instance, there are seven­~ teen divisions of ¥ethodists, thirteen divisions of Bap­

tists, and twelve of Presbyterians. All told, there are at least one hundred and fifty divisions of Protestants in the United States. While these have great strength in one general purpose of bringing men to Christ and righteuusness, yet more than can be measured is lost in the dividing, and in sOID-C.respects antagonistic, attituqe . of these various bodies, even among those which bear

""£he samE" general name." ' We sincerely hope that " our separated and much

divided brethren will.read Bro. Lewis' little book" with care and prayer." We hope also that those of whom he complains-who are "forwarding the process . of Catholicization among themselves "':""willkeep right on.

:MANY Christian ministers may have highest ,1) culture, and rllay write their sermons with Inuch skill and thought-beautifully executed work, like a Grecian marble statue. Alas! there is no heat in it. Heat. must be caused 'by fire; if there is no fire in the sermon to' hea t the hearers' hearts, ii is a serious affair. This fire can only be got by oaily seeking. Those who depend very.much upon their tal-ent and,knowledge are' very apt to forget to seek this much-needed divine fire for them-selves, as well as for their hearers. How cold such a heart must be to a congreg-ation!' If each proJessingChI"istian' has thi.~ divine fire, Ghrist's kingdom wilLcome' much faster. 0 heavenly Father, give us this fire!

The old mother-love, the fet'ling of protection, a.kin to nothing else on earth and symbolizing the fost~ring love of God for his children, 'must be given up for a high, noble fri('nd!;hip which recognizes these children who are fast becoming men and women as fellow-workers in the kingdom of God. They are no longer dependents, but our best and deareRt friends, whose opinions .we must receive with a certa.in deference and whose thoughts we must consider as equal and sometimes superior to our own. Only the mother who has seen her son in the full vigor of a noble man­hood cun feel to the full the" joy that a man is born in­to the world."

COMING MEETINGS,

I \vas glad to see in the last RECORDER a statement of the cOIning Associations with their places and dates, so that all uur people IUO-Y keep them in 111ind. Then I was especial­ly pleased to see in the Directory, on the last page of the RECORDER, the place and date of our next General Conference, with the names and address of the officers. Now, with these denominatio.nal gatherings so wisely placed before US, what are our duties in order to get ready for them and make them the greatest blessing to our cause and to" all our

~ people? ' \.~ Without doubt the various Boards And

officers and pastors are planning to make each of them as successful as possible. But one important work may be done by, all the churches in carefully revising their statistics and getting into .touch with their non-resi­den t members. Let this be talked over at the

TO-DAY.

NATURE NOT DECEIVED, "

The following excerpt in regard to the at-tempts of some farmers to fool with nature, is applicable to other vocations. Read and learn:

No loving word was ever Bpoken, no good deed ever done, "to-morrow." We cannot act in the unborn future, nor in t,he dead past -only in the living p~esent .. That is why

The lawyer may sometime, and often does, win his case through the ignorance of his an­tagonist, and the mistakes of the ignorant physician may be hidden from sight by the merciful God, and a "dispensation of Provi­dence" made to shoulder responsibility of a medical mistake, but t,he farmer can't lie or decei ve nature. She"makes no mistakes; and, if her laws in relation to agriculture, are vio­lated, the farmer inust pay the price of the Inistake. There is no vocation to-day where science and her laws rule with a more arbi­trary hand than in that of agriculture, or, in in a plainer term, farming.

"FoT' they have S0wn the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind." This we are also doing. Woodhull, in "Dict,ionary of Sta­tistics," shows that the annual deaths fro III drink in New York are .six times th6se of France, England or Ireland; four tirries those of Scotland, and twice those of Sweden. The di vorces" of Massachusetts for 1880 were five times more for each thousand people than those of France, whose divorce8 ~:reat]y ex­ceed England or Scotland. Of late the ratio of nlurdel's, per lllillioH, in the United States has been about three tinles that of Germany, France, Eng'land or Ireland. In the Unitpd States the nunlber of divorce cases has nlore than dou bled 'between 1870 and 1880, and, ag'ain, made another notable' increase from 1880 to 1890. I find these figures in thf?

ZULIE DYKE'S TOOTH. BY GRACE PHILLIPS.

Perhaps some of the little folks would like to hear how Zulie Dyke lost her first tooth.

Papa and mamma D'yke and Uncle Ned were eatlin~ dinner. Zulie said her tooth was so loose she could not eat. Her papa said he would pull the tooth. ~uIie cried "No, no." and'put both hands over lnouth.

Unde Ned laughed and said, " Why not? It would not hurt."

"Yes, it would," said Zulie. " 'VeIl, then," said Uncle Ned, "perhaps I

can tie it in. Come let me trv." ... This was a new idea to Zulie. She slid from

her chair, and ~an to her uncle, with rnouth wide open. .

Uncle Ned got a piece of silk thread, waxed it, and-tied it around the tooth.

"\Vhen I was a boy," he said, "they used to say if 1 would not put my tong'ue where a tooth came out a gol~ t,ooth would grow in. Do you wan t to see the teeth that came in?"

"Yes," sa.id Zulie. Uncle Nell opened his mouth, and showed

her t,he gold finin~s the dentist had put in. "Ned dear'" said Zulie's'marnula "do not " . ,.

decei ve the child." "'Vhy, Uncle Ned," said Zulie, " you didn't

put Jour tongue in lots of them, didn't 'you'( "

She raised herself'on tiptoe to see bet~er, and'out popped hertooth ..

You see Uncle Ned held the thread thiuliing, perhapf:!, h~ would give it a twich after a while, for the tooth was very loose, and he knew it would ~ot 'hurt Zulieto have it pulled, but when Zulie raised llerseifun the tip of her toes, she jerked the tooth ou t.

How they laughed about 'it. Zulie laughed, too, 'Vhen Unc~e Ned explained how the gold came to be in his teeth .. '

Zulie never made. trouble again' when a tooth was loose, but. permitted it to be re-. moved. .

. A. CHILD'S WISH • A beautiful little story ,was told not long

ago by a young missionary who is just leav­ing this country, as to how be was influenced to become a tnisRionary .. Whe~ a child he u'sed constantly to' walk

through·a certain cbureh'yard; ~ild oneof the gravestones whicll be passed close by, erected· to the memory of a>"1ittleboy eight years of . age, bore the following st~auge inscription:

" Mother, when I grow to ·be a manIshould like to be a missionarv. But if I should die

. L ~

wben I an) still a little boy, will you put it on. my tom b, so that SOlne OJ)e passing by may read it, a,nd go instead of me?"

Through reading thi~ inscription so often there grew up in hiM mind this thought: "I must go in place of that little boy." And so he has been trained for the work, and will soon commence it. It was only a. little boy's wish that inffuenced llim and led hirn to be­come a missionary. Now if a wi~h can do so much, what lllay not a word and deed do? Wa.s not this a good way to bring the gos-

. pel to the poor beathen ?-Selected.

THE RISE OF A BOY. ~ The boy goes to business, and at his busi­

ness begins by sinlply doing the thin~s he is told to do, and doing them in a common and ordinary way. If he stops here, he remains all his life lon~ a drudge. But if he begins to see that business has a significance, that, his life is not merely sweeping the store, not merely writing letters, not merel'y selling' goods; if be begins to see the'higher life il1-vol ved in business; if he begins to see that business is a greater instru ment of benefieence than what we call beneficence; tha.t trade is clothing thousands of men where charity clothes ten; that agricultural and milling in­dustl'ies are feeding thousands of· men where charity feeds ten; if he begins to see how the whole history of the world is linked together, and is God's way of building up "humanity and serving humanity-as he gets t.his lar~e view and enters into it, life is enriched and be­conIes the school wherein he is educated into that which is irnmortal !-·Df'.

ONLY A CENT. Uncle Harris was a carpenter, and had a

shop in the country. One day he went into the barn where Dick and Joe were ,playing with two tame pigeons. "Boys," he sa~d, " my workshop ought to be swept up every evening. Which of you will undertake to do it? I am willing to pay a cent for each sweep-iug." . '

" Only a cent?" said Dick. " Who U would work for a cent? "

,. I will," said Joe. "A cent is better than • nothing."

So every da,y, when Uncle Harris was done working in the shop, Joe would take an old broorn and sweep it; and he dropped all his pennies into his tin savings bank ..

Une' davUnc1e Harris took Dick and Joe ~into town with him. While he went to buy some lumber, they. w~nt into a store where· there. were toys of every kind.

"What fiue kites!" said Dick. "I wish thu.t I could buy one."

H Only ten cents," said the man .. "I haven't got a cent," said Dick. "I have fifty cents," said Joe; "and Ithink

that I will buy that bird ~ite." " How did you get fifty cents? "asked Dick. . "By sweeping. the shop,"answered Joe.

About the middle of February, our Chris­tian Endea.vor Society entertained the con­vent.ion of young people's societies of the town of Brookfield a,nd other adjacent towns. There are some sixteen societies in the organi-

Our First-day Ba.ptist bret.hren have secured the services of the Rev. Basse.y, of Utica, N. Y., for the ensuing year. The M. E. church also expect a new pastor about the 1st of April. The Rev. J. M. Todd and wife came among us about the first of J annary, and are very lJe] pful to us. They found cor­dial greeting among those with whom and for whom he has spent the best portion of his life.' , "

The pastor ha.fi started a class for Bible study among the young people. It has been very well attended so far, and we are hopeful of its being. of ad vantage to all of us. We are expecting the Association with us the first week in June, and are hoping for a blessing at that time. Though not ill our province, we send you the following clipping, showing that Bro.

LADIES OF THE WHITE HOUSE, There is one poJnt with respect

to which American history is de­fective, and will, we feal',for sOlne time continue so, and that is the comparative indifference with which t·heinfluence of the nation's prominent women upon the Jorees which shape the events and Inould the policies of our

. country is treated. 'rhis is more the fau·It of circumstances than of the hiBtol"ians. It is more conspicuous here than in Eng­land and SOQ'le othe.r countries~ becaulSe of· the mor.ecomplete eal'ly separation of women from an direct aAsodaUon with pu blic affairs. But when the 1l10l'e de­tailed and persolJa.l hist,ories of our preHidents come to b~ writ­ten; when we are taken behind

. the seenes, back of the cererno­nialof governnlent and' back of proelamations and pl'onullcia­lllentos, as Professor 8lea;ne has taken the readilJg public in his recent life of Napoleon, then t,he women of ollrsuccelS~iv.e )iational arlminilStrations maybe given their true places. .

Ce1ta-inlywe are not less ap­pl'eciati ve of the finer, even if in some J'flspects the weaker, sex, than other countries, but Ameri.; can women of distinction in politieal circles bave been con­tent to confine their pu blic tri­urnphs to the social arena. Their influence upon national affairs

. has been exerted in a 'less con­f1picuous but none the less ~ffect­ive tnanller. We have a some­what vague idea that we owe a cOIIHic1era.ble measure of reHpect and gl'atitude to l\Jartha \Vash­ington apd Abig'ial Adams, not· merely as women of high charac­ter and brilliant nlinds,· but as. factors in two distinguilShed ad­nlinistratiolls of governnlent. Even the historian has to I'ecog­nize their power, though he can not intelligently analyze its oper-ation. .

The country,_perhaps, owes as much to Dorothv MadiBon as to her husband, the preBident. The gracious lady who ·now surrend­ersher place as mistress of the ''''hite House to another, in some respects. more resem bles Mrs. Madildon than any of her prede­cessors. But in many wa,ys ,she has fined an exaltedplacawith a distinction ,that is peculiarly her own.. When· she ent~red upon herhjgh social d-utiesshe was ' the youngest Woman who had

theexcHement of social gayeties and successes.

Had there been a sllggestion of weakness in her colliposit.ion bel' elevation to the position of, the" first lady of the repu bHc" would have resulted either in ex­ceslSive vanity orrepe]]ent haugh­t.iness. But she walked splendid­l,Y upright between" the two daIl,gers. Had she been born a princess, trained to the responsi­bili ties and forms that att,ach to the purple, she could not have more admirably adjusted herself to an en viron ment, iii one sense strange, but which nature had marveloUlsly fitted her to adorn. Her sympathies a.re intensely womanl'y but intensely active. She needs no champions but both the high and low are her friends a.nd ad mirers. In grace, nobility of character, sympathy with the higher soci81 and polit.ical aApira­tiOIlS of her country, helpfulness toward ever'y worthy interest and object, and that tact that, comesfrom charity, high-minded­ness and wal'm-hartec1ness, she is one of the most splendid repre­sentatives of tbe new wornan-1100d of the republic.-New York Tribune.

THE BORROWING HABIT,

In the da.ys of Shal{espeare as well as now, ., the loan oft loses bot.h itself and friend .'~ There is pr6bably no small matIer that causes so much annoyance and a('tual money loss as the habit of borrowing petty household supplies, which the borrower oft­en judges are too small to be re­turlled. It is a few spoonfuls of tea at one time, alit-tIe butter at another and the sum total in a. short period may be altogether too large for the lender to give awa.y. There is but one way to trea.t such horrowers who never pay, and to borrow the same amount of the same art.icle until t,he proper eq ui va.lent -has been made. This _ is considerable trouble, but· it iB theolllv wa,y to render justice to one's self. It is a,lso a delicate hint which the mJ)st obdurate borrower is likely to profit by. It may lose the

. friend, butsavestheloan. There are a great many peo­

ple who, like the foolish virgins of the··· parable,systemat.ically fail to provide for emergencies· and expect to depend upon their ,mo'reprQvj<ien-tIJeigb bors.· After nirieteelillhudre(,i years, 'they are . as· typical acla,ss 'to-day as they

'·223 . - Q

were in old' 'Judea,the, women· without" facult.y;" who do not hesitate' to· make their Fiilliriess . an-excuse for their dependence, and appear, to be utterlJ . oblivi·

---ous . of"<tbe inconvenience they may occasion.tTudiciOus,house­keepers make .it arulene\'er to borrow unless they are forced to d.o . Ao'by lenders that fail to ' re.:. . member their debts. No servant' should be allowed to borrow. 'rhe most careless. servant win soon .learn to keep a, lilSt, and . whatever is needed canth~n be ordered at the proper time. .

No independent -woman' with any di~nity of characterind.ulges in any- such pernicious· -he bit; as borrowing. Th~ b9rrowip~>()f. ~ ous~hold u tenslls, . lIke pr_tfI~~.,r.:". lng pots, and bakIng tlm~;'-:81ild similar articles, causes a gTeat ' deal of aill~oyance to lendeT's, who may lack the moral courage to say no when they would like to do so. The brass preserving pot of old-fashioned times was nn expensive article which only a few families in a viUage could afford to own one, and a large nUlnber of households formerlv depended upon 'the kindness of their wealthier neighbors forthe means of preparing their winter supplies of preserved fruit. In return they often gaveessistance to lenders in preserving time. A large, porcelain-lined pot suita­ble for preserving may now be purchaBed for $1, and no fantily need depend upon neig'h bors. Yet to· day the borrowing of preserv­,ing pans is almost a~COJumon as in t,jl0ISeoldenda.ys,and noequiv­alent is ever given, because the pl'elServing pot is no longer cost- , Iy, though the inconvenience of lending it may be as great as be­fore, and the inj ury dOlle to it is lIkely to be lDore lasting. The old urass pot was literally inde­struct.ible, but the new pots are ealSily injured.

'l'he lender of household aT ti­cles nlust submit to Inuch petty annoyance and to ill uch lo~s. If IShe does not submit with smiles to all exactions tnade upon· her she iB likely to be condemned as unobliging and mean. Itl'equires more ti"Illness than the aveJ~ege worn an possesses torefuse.-New York Tlibune. ---~------ ~--------- -~~--------------­._-----_._----------
