Many wor- shipers of the godess estera, became Chris- tians. Her annual festival occurred about the time of the Passover, - nt which time Christ arose. These. parties now com- memorated this event but retained the old name. This strange explanation is the only one for the origin and continuance of this name. To the use of It the Scripture gives no sanction. The'word In Acts: 12: 4 should be translated “ Passover,” as in the new version; There was much con- troversy about the time to be observed, one party contending that the day of the month should govern - as. in the case of Christmas, and the, other that it should always be on the first day of the week. The Counsel of Kicei'A.;D; 825 decided in favor of the latter. : Since then the first Sunday after the full moon following the Sprlng.Equinox has been observed. He was nailed to the cross on the sixth day of the week,at the third hour, or go’el. From the sixth to the ninth hour. darkness coy. ered the liindi At this hour, or 3 ^ Mvi he yielded up the ghost.’’ ,The Jews in purpose and the use pf means murdered, ... him, but he yielded up his own life. He • said: “JSaman taketh it from me, ‘-but I lay it down-myself," . But the sun liid his face for very.shauie,and the quaking earth the opened graves and the rent vail of the temple, all testitl'ed Hgamst the; wicked; deed* Joseph; begged his body, Nlcode- mus embalmed \Xt and It was laid in the tomb*before, the sun set, when the Sabbath began. After two nights and a ;day' he rose from the dead. ■ Let-us notice, v iVvv* •. t•1. The fact .of his Resurrection. David foretold it: “ Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell (sheol) neither wilt thou suffer thine, holy, one to see corruption.”—-Ps. 10: 10. This was. prophetic and did hot refer to Dhvld. He did. see corruption, and is ;yet in the grave. Both' Peter and Paul apply it to Christ. Jesus’ predicted it. ‘‘ Destroy this!temple and in three days I Will raise i t :up.”--Jno. 2:19’. The Jews applied his Words to their temple,; ‘‘ But he spake of . tiie temple : of his body.V. These are good authorities. . , „ 2. Faithful women were early: at the, ' sepulcherj who found the stohe down and , two angels ready: to’ receive. They said : He is not here, he is risen, as he said Come seie tiie place where, the Lord lay.” They did see, aud Mnry Magdalene has- tened to orouse the disheartened men. Peter and John went, examined and found that he was . gone. Christ appeared to Mary, to the other women, to Peter, to the • two on the%nj* to Emmaus, to the ten on the night of the Resurrection,to the eleven one week from:that night, to the disciples ■on the shore of Tlbei eus,' and to “ above .five hundred at once.” He directed the difeciples to meet him in Galilee at once, but they lost heart and didn’t- go. '" ,:So • he did not but took steps to restore'their lost confidence, and later met them in’Galilee; • where most of liis followers lived. 3.; That Jesus iived'an^l died as the .s ew Testament record?, even most modern skeptics do not deny, but like the Jews, join issue at the point of his resurrection. This he had predicted and hence the pre- caution taken. The stone, the seal and guard were intended to make the sepul- cher sure. The penalty for breaking a seal was death, and. who would dare to make, the attempt in presence of the watch ?; Ami how preposterous and self* contradictory was the story of'the guard! Sleep at their .post j . Why; that exposed to death. Sleep in a case where the stake was' so immense and the anxiety so great. What a silly and absurd tale I All sleep while the stone .was .rolled away,' and.the corpse stolen .and parried away. ' .How blind and Obstinate the prejudice that could believe suqh nonsense!, But the Jewa were driven to. their wits end and this was the best 'explanation and defence that tiie case would admit of. y.; . .*' 4. Tbe disciples were plain, uneducated men, incapable of- such a trick. Nor had they any motive for it. .They were still looking for the kingdom to be restored to Israel (-Acts 0) and w*hen he died their hopes expired anti they gave up all as lost. But when he demonstrated his identity their faith was restored, and they told what they had learned, and after they were baptized with the Iloly Ghost, they did this so fully and learlessly, that all the Apostles except John suffered martyrdom, nor did he escape by llinchlng. They at onqe preached Jesus and .the resurrection. This was a goad to the Jews. They had cruoifled him as an imposter and danger- ous person. If ho remained under the dominion of death their triumph, was com- plete,' but the resurrection showed that God was1against them, that they had wickedly taken his life' aud their cause was lost. This was the pi vot on which the whole case turned. Hende tbejr. extreme anxiety, the foolish bribery of the guard and the bitter malignity with which they persecuted those who proclaimed his res- urrection. In this controversy, Thomas was a good witness. He was not credu- lous, but clear in his convictions,' and urir swerving in his integrity. Becoming fully convinced that all was lost, he declined to attend their; first meeting, doubt!ng the testimony of-his fellow Apostles, declared that he would, not believe, and nothing short of a.sigtit of the Wounds made by the nails;and spear would- convince him. Je- sUs stooped to conquer, and when Thomas saw these 'wounds Ms faith bounded. Je- sus to him was no longer a weak and cou- rt liered man, but the God-man. tie ex- claimed i “ My Lord and my, God!” " The .proof that Christ arose is complete, or the Nevv Testament is unreliable. : >■< -.v--- II. His resurrection in the- Christian sctieme. . It is, 1. A pledge. • The old gnos- tics denied .that a resurrection.was possi- ble, and this-heresy had crept into the church at Corinth. Paul replies, Christ arose,, and calls his. witnesses' to ; prove -it (See 1 Cor. 15:5-8). What has/occurred maj’ occur, agaib,;ami; in all cases. : But if Christ did not rise,' then what,? ; Several things—In that base.;we are false wit- nesses, and IT unreliable in tlfis case we may be in others, and if so, revelation^ as given by us, has ho foundation. But if he did not rise, ‘‘ ourJ preaching, and your faith is vain and you are yet in your sihs.” Why ?;::'TnJ jthat; x*ase .your jaith ‘.is iti ii dead, and defeated Christ. And if he did not rise,and ascend, there' is no mediator and no mediation, ;and hence no channel of mercy to man, no salvation or hope of eternaj life. This is: the pivot on which the whole Christian economy hInge's. :;; Je- sus and the resurrection was the theme, and not, Jesus and immoraUty.' When he died the spirit departed (See Acts 2': 27) and when lie .appeared to the frightened disci pies, he said: ^ a spirit hath not iiesii and bones as you see.me have (See 24:30), The body rose and the whole Christ ap- peared to the disciples, ascended, and lives to intercede.’ “ But now: .is, Oh.rist rlseu from the deadl and; become the/first fruits of them that slept.” The> first fruits, as offered in jewish worship. toid of thecrop to.'-b'e:gathered. , So. ditV hls resurrection. “ Of: theih that sleep.'^ - H is soul did: not sleep, '.but tarried in,sheol, nor do those.of Christians sleep. lie said, ’*.A11 that are in their graves shall hear his voice aud shall come forth ifcc.” (Jno. 5:28.) “And the sea gave up tbe dead which were in it,” &c. (Uev. 20:13). The soul don't go into the grave or the sea, or under the power of death; But the resurrection refates to what is there deposited, ilymeneus and Philetus erred concerning the .truth, “say- ing the resurrection is passed already.” (2 Tim. 2:18). This heresy is being re peated by all such as teach that a covering for the soul, as,it leaves the body, is all the resurrection.there is or'ever will be. De- nial of the resurrection- is usually placed where it was of old. Paul answered those who said there is or cau. be no resurrec- tion—tbat the decomposed and scattered remains chnnot be recollected. What , su- preme-nonsense Is this I. God. who crea- ted whatever Is besides himself, cau'he not preserve and collect the scattered dust* The resurrection is purely a doctrine of revelation and is to be accomplished by miracle., If anything is clearly taught in the Bible, this-Is, and as Qod Is'.pledged to bring it to pass, there will be a resurrec*. tion of the dead. ;Nothing is.more clearly taught or certainly guaranfeed. : 2. A Type. The harvest is like the first fruits;- It is true he did not decompose, but this is not materlal. V As he rose from the dead, and demonstrated his physical identity* so: the .identlcai body . that dies, will rise again. The' harvest will be like the first fruits. The widow’s son, Laza- rus and others, w^ere before him, 1>ut they .were raised to niortnl life, and tiled again. He was raised . i inmortal, r and in. this re: spect was first, Flesh and blood cannot .inherit the kingdom! pf - God not in Its gross and mortal; condition. But while A1it is sown a natural body i t . is raised a spiritual • body.?’ - For- ‘‘ there is a natural body . and there is .. 'a spliitual :body,” changed and .adapted to Its f hture home, but a body still.' “ We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.” This refers to those who will’be alive wlien the final trumpet slmll sound. . They will be taken up, soul atid body, but 1 n a chapged condl-: tion; of this change Paul says: “ Who will change dur vile body tliat it may be fash- ioned like unto his glorious body.”, This vile, or mortal diseased and after deatli decomposed body, is to be fashioned like his glorified body. We have a glimpse of this on Ilermon. “ His face did siiine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.”. The witnesses fell to the, earth, overwhelmed by;the outbeamihg;and sur- rounding glory. But .when changed we can bask in the effulgence of heaven.; An old grave is a sorry sight; but what a rand, a glorious consumption, when this vile;body shall be fashioned like untoi his; glorified body, soul and body reunited, adapted to our heavenly home, and des- tined to bask, in the presence of the angels, of all the glorified, , and in the effulgence of the divineglory^'forever. .May this be the happy lot of all 1 : yi/' Practical ChriBtianity. BY MRS,i FANNIE II. CA KIt. : To the flippant skeptic who sneeringly asksj o f :what practical advantage Chris- tianity has been to the world, the believer may point with .justifiable pride (If this term may be allowed) to: its hospitals fpr the sick and infirm, its. institutions for friendless children, its asylums; lor the' orphan, and last but by no means least, its homes for aged men and womeui . , j t was my privilege tojglve a Bible read- ihg at; the home for. aged women of the M. E. Church, located - jin Philadelphla. ■ The UiajOrity of the readers;of the Kecoiid are sufficiently familiar with the above Insti- tuaiou to preclude We necessity of a de- tailed description, but as we Went throngh the buildirig we'found abundant cause fbr gratitude that,so comfortuble a home had been provided for; the deciIning yea rs of many that sadly needed. it. Periihps we were specially qualified to appreciate .!this from the fact thut from our weekly visits' to the Block ley ulms-house our hearts had been touched y with ./seeinghi any who more from the neglect of others than from any sins of ’their own,; had to pass their closing years in the latter institution,’ ; ;The. Bibie reading iwas:giyen in the chapel and was. w;ell uttended. As the home for aged men is on the same ground, several of these were, present: It was an excellent audience to 'speak to. One would scarcely .huve. expected -it. liy - reason of their advunced years, and yet tliev were spec ially. respons ive; Af ter tl»e .reading an experience meeting ensued. i 'SeveraVof tbose who’ spoke were aboye SO yeiii's of ^ige,. while one sister cjaitned'to be’ 02, and had been serving the JLord • for over 71 years, py9 higher;tribute couid be. paid to Christ, being a satlsfyiiig portion, than to he»r this stater with moistened eyes and beaming face, tell of tlio peace and even Joy of her declining years. Several of the inmates were blind or very nearly so, and yet they testified most emphatically to the power of grace to sus- tain. We could not but think what a marked contrast to the devotee of the world, as. advancing years, with their at- tendant infirmities, preclude him or her from participation in the pleasures- that hitherto have beeu their very life. As we looked upon the peaceful faces, listened to their gladsome songs, heard their cheering testimonies, we realized afresh that it pays grandly to serve God, that entirely inde- pendent of the blessed hereufter th.e solid satisfaction fround right down here ou the battle field abundantly repays his faithful followers, and we returned home renew- edly determined to live forH im whose service Is perfect freedom.

' . Tho Promises of God. v God’spromisesaddress themselves,;to human needs; these needs cover a; wide range of, experience, aridthese experi- ences; are necessary Ih .order to the com- prehending of the promises. They are like1 so many caskets full of precious store, along,the Christian's path, and open as he comes'along. In his experience,. for his refreshing and comfort and help, and just ns he may need. And what a great store these promises of God are! How full, how' com forting,’ how: satisfy ing^ as we come into the circumstances and condi- tions.;jp; which they ;.are specialiy; .ad dressed. • And into these conditions we must come in order that w e'may appreci- ate them, and have them fulfilled in bur experience.The promise itself gives the assurance that the ueed will be met .as it arises^ as we may. come in our life’s jour- ney to the need of that particular mani- festation. It was when David was passing through trying experience that the Lord fulfilled unto him the: promise especially addressed to ills need, and not before. It was when he was/exposed tothe “ prideof man” tliat. God “ hid him in the secret of His. presence.” It .was when he .; was ,ex- posed to the. “ stri fe of tongues-’ tliat the L'ord .“ kept him, secretly in. His pavilion.” Thus, at the;righti-tinie,^God fulfilled in. the experience of? David the .word in which he had made hiin.to lippe. .6:/ - v; \ And so it is ever.; A certain experience in life is necessary7 in order that we ..may comprehend. and appreciate tind• apply God’s unfolding of any promise,; arid we do not need' tiie fulfilment of .that promise till we coiue to that. experience. t; • The di- vine help’of which that promise gives tiie assurance is intended . for. that experience, and for no other. Take that great 'promise: ‘‘ Fear not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed,-ifor I am tby God: when thou passest through- tiie Waters -1 will be with thee, and through thb rivers, they ishall ,'not overflow thee: when; thou walkest through the fire thou siudt not be burned, s neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.’’- In:order,to tiie fulfilment of that promise, we inlist be in the circum- stances described. We must, know what is meunt by the water's, the rivers, the fires, before we can umleraDitui what is/ivf to be burned, und “ hot to sitik in deep waters where there is no standing.”’. And "e cun see at a glance that we do not ueed to know the latter until we experience the former. • So with all the '• exceeding great and precious promises” of the diviu'e word—' our experience must be the Interpreter. The young, at the beginning of theirChris- tlan course, caunot understand tuuny of the promises, do they.need to. Their unfolding-is.farther on: one experience cannot Interpret the promise for another. When that other experience is reached we find the promise there with its'precious, store; and as It opens to us its treasure/we say,.“ How great.is that goodness!*? Let us believe in the goodness laid, up in God’s promises, aud let us cou'fidently look for its unfolding- iu the right time. Suclra faith- and confidence would rule out of our lives distress and over-anxiety as .to the future. This \l-U dUHcult to'do. Battle; against there .anxieties as we may, still theyAvlll’come. We feat* that we aro •notable for some experience that'must come, when we. do not need to be able for it now; We fear .thut- we have uot dyln. grace, when wo tio. not need it now, and would uot know what to do with it if we had it.- The word of promise is this : “As thy day, so shall thy strength be.”J That promise includes all others. These promises lie all about our Chris- tian pathway, and along its entire length thpy await our coming, and if, under the full control of an unwavering faith in that truth, we could only ,go forwurd on the heavenly journey, these lives of ours would be largely made up of surprises, jus we should discover how God’s promises open their treasures at the right time.— United Presbyterian. Egleston Heights. A Florida paper gives tiie following no- tice of the new Inskip Memorial Church.

Spurgeon on Repentance, If you have not repentance toward God, and*fuith. toward our. Lord Jesus Christ, you have; no part nor lot in tills matter. Repentance iirid fu1 1 h inlist .go together to’ complete each’ other. I compare them, to a door and its jiosti Kepehtance Is the door which.shuts out sin, but. faith is the post upon which its hinges are fixed, A door without a door-post to hang upon is not a door at all; while a door-post with- out the door hanging to it,is of no value w’hateve r. Wh’ut Ciod bath join ed togethe r let nO man put asunder; and these two He has made Inseparable—repentance and fuith. Let no man. observe, in the first place, that there is a repentauce which is not . toward God. Discriminate this morning. Paul did not merely preach repentance, but repentance toward God; and there Is a . repentance fatally faulty, because it js hot toward God. In some there Is a repent- ance of sin which Is.produced by a tense o f ; shame:-; The evil-doer s. are- foundvojit• und Indignant words are spoken about them; they are ashamed, and so far they are repentant, because they ’have dishon- ored themselves.. If they had not been found out, iti: all probability they would have continued comfortably in the sin.and even have'gpue f urther oh iii it,-s; It is said:’- that among Orientals it is not- considered • wrong to lie, but It Is considered a very greut fuult to lie so blunderingly us to be caught in it. Many who profess regret , for having done wrong are not sorry for the sin itself, but they are affected by the opinion of their fellow-men, and by the remarks that are made concerning their offence, aud so they hung their heads. Do not mistake u little, iluturul fiuttering of the heart and blushing of the face, on account of, being found out in sin, fortrue repentance. • . .Some, again, have ii. repentunce which consists, in grief because of tbe pulnful consequences of sin. The mun has been a spendthrift, a gambler, a prpfilgate,'and', his money is gone;.aud now he repeuts thut he has played the fool. Another has been indulging the passious of hiscorrupt nature, and he finds himself sulfering for it, and therefore lie repents of his wicked- ness; *There are many citses that I need uot instance here, in which sin comes hoine very (juickly to men. Certain sins bear fralt speedily; their harvest is reaped soon after the seed Is sown. Then a nian says he.is sorry, and he gives up the sin for a time; hot because he dislikes it,, but, because be sees it is ruining h im a s sail- ors iu a storm cast overboard the .cargo of. the shlj», not because they are weary of It but because the vessel will go to the bot/ tom if they rendu it:. This is regret for consequences, not sorrow for sin. It is repentance that can never be ac'ceotible In the sight of God. '■. . •. . .. / ;: ‘ -Some, .again, exhibit a repentance which consists1entirely of horror at. the future punishment of sin. This fear is Healthful in many wavs, and we can by no means . dispense with it. But if this fear goes no further than a selfish desire to escape pun- ishment, no reliance can be put upon its moral- effect. If they could be assured that no jtuuishment . would follow, such persons. would continue' iu sin, and not only be. content to live in it, but bede ’ lighted to have it so.' Beloved, true re- pentance Is sorrow for the sin itself: it has ; uot only a dread.of the death which Is in the wages of sin. but of the.sin which, earns'tiie wjiges,; If you have no repent- ance for/the s|ii Itself, it is in vain that you should stand and tremble- because of judgment to come; .

Why call to day Easter ? Many wor­shipers of the godess estera, became Chris- tians. Her annual festival occurred about the time of the Passover, - nt which time Christ arose. These. parties now com­memorated this event but retained the old name. This strange explanation is the only one for the origin and continuance of this name. To the use of It the Scripture gives no sanction. The'word In Acts: 12:4 should be translated “ Passover,” as in the new version; There was much con­troversy about the time to be observed, one party contending that the day of the month should govern - as. in the case of Christmas, and the, other that it should always be on the first day of the week. The Counsel of Kicei'A.;D; 825 decided in favor of the latter. : Since then the first Sunday after the full moon following the Sprlng.Equinox has been observed. He was nailed to the cross on the sixth day of the week,at the third hour, or go’el. From the sixth to the ninth hour. darkness coy. ered the liindi At this hour, or 3 ^ Mvi

he yielded up the ghost.’’ ,The Jews in purpose and the use pf means murdered,

... him, but he yielded up his own l i f e . He• said: “ JSaman taketh it from me, ‘-but I lay it down-myself," . But the sun liid his face for very.shauie,and the quaking earth the opened graves and the rent vail o f the temple, all testitl'ed Hgamst the; wicked; deed* Joseph; begged his body, Nlcode- mus embalmed \Xt and It was laid in the tomb*be fore, the sun set, when the Sabbath began. After two nights and a ;day' he rose from the dead. ■ Let-us notice, v iVvv*

•. t • 1. The fact .of his Resurrection. David foretold it: “ Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell (sheol) neither wilt thou suffer thine, holy, one to see corruption.”—-Ps. 10:10. This was. prophetic and did hot refer to Dhvld. He did. see corruption, and is

; yet in the grave. Both' Peter and Paul apply it to Christ. Jesus’ predicted it. ‘‘ Destroy this!temple and in three days I Will raise i t :up.”--Jno. 2:19’. The Jews applied his Words to their temple,; ‘‘ But he spake of . tiie temple : of his body.V. These are good authorities. . , „

2. Faithful women were early: at the, ' sepulcher j who found the stohe down and , two angels ready: to’ receive. They said :

He is not here, he is risen, as he said Come seie tiie place where, the Lord lay.” They did see, aud Mnry Magdalene has­tened to orouse the disheartened men. Peter and John went, examined and found that he was . gone. Christ appeared to Mary, to the other women, to Peter, to the

• two on the%nj* to Emmaus, to the ten on the night of the Resurrection,to the eleven one week from:that night, to the disciples ■on the shore of Tlbei eus,' and to “ above . five hundred at once.” He directed the difeciples to meet him in Galilee at once, but they lost heart and didn’t- go. '",: So • he did not but took steps to restore'their lost confidence, and later met them in’ Galilee;

• where most of liis followers lived.3.; That Jesus iived'an^l died as the .s ew

Testament record?, even most modern skeptics do not deny, but like the Jews, join issue at the point of his resurrection. This he had predicted and hence the pre­caution taken. The stone, the seal and

guard were intended to make the sepul­cher sure. The penalty for breaking a seal was death, and. who would dare to make, the attempt in presence of the watch ?; Ami how preposterous and self* contradictory was the story of'the guard! Sleep at their .post j . Why; that exposed to death. Sleep in a case where the stake was' so immense and the anxiety so great. What a silly and absurd tale I All sleep while the stone .was .rolled away,' and.the corpse stolen .and parried away. ' .How blind and Obstinate the prejudice that could believe suqh nonsense!, But the Jewa were driven to. their wits end and this was the best 'explanation and defence that tiie case would admit of. y.; ’. .*' ■ ■

4. Tbe disciples were plain, uneducated men, incapable of- such a trick. Nor had they any motive for it. .They were still looking for the kingdom to be restored to Israel (-Acts 0) and w*hen he died their hopes expired anti they gave up all as lost. But when he demonstrated his identity their faith was restored, and they told what they had learned, and after they were baptized with the Iloly Ghost, they did this so fully and learlessly, that all the Apostles except John suffered martyrdom, nor did he escape by llinchlng. They at onqe preached Jesus and .the resurrection. This was a goad to the Jews. They had cruoifled him as an imposter and danger­ous person. If ho remained under the dominion of death their triumph, was com­plete,' but the resurrection showed that God was1 against them, that they had wickedly taken his life' aud their cause was lost. This was the pi vot on which the whole case turned. Hende tbejr. extreme anxiety, the foolish bribery of the guard and the bitter malignity with which they persecuted those who proclaimed his res­urrection. In this controversy, Thomas was a good witness. He was not credu­lous, but clear in his convictions,' and urir swerving in his integrity. Becoming fully convinced that all was lost, he declined to attend their; first meeting, doubt!ng the testimony of-his fellow Apostles, declared that he would, not believe, and nothing short of a.sigtit of the Wounds made by the nails;and spear would- convince him. Je- sUs stooped to conquer, and when Thomas saw these 'wounds Ms faith bounded. Je- sus to him was no longer a weak and cou­rt liered man, but the God-man. tie ex- claimed i “ My Lord and my, God!” " The .proof that Christ arose is complete, or the Nevv Testament is unreliable. : >■<-. v---

II. His resurrection in the- Christian sctieme. . It is, 1. A pledge. • The old gnos­tics denied .that a resurrection.was possi­ble, and this-heresy had crept into the church at Corinth. Paul replies, Christ arose,, and calls his. witnesses' to ; prove -it (See 1 Cor. 15:5-8). What has/occurred maj’ occur, agai b,;ami; in all cases. : But if Christ did not rise,' then what,? ; Several things—In that base.; we are false wit­nesses, and IT unreliable in tlfis case we may be in others, and if so, revelation^ as given by us, has ho foundation. But if he did not rise, ‘‘ ourJ preaching, and your faith is vain and you are yet in your sihs.” Why ?;::'TnJjthat; x*ase .your jaith ‘.is iti ii dead, and defeated Christ. And if he did not rise,and ascend, there' is no mediator and no mediation, ; and hence no channel of mercy to man, no salvation or hope of eternaj life. This is : the pivot on which the whole Christian economy hInge's. :;; Je­sus and the resurrection was the theme, and not, Jesus and immoraUty.' When he died the spirit departed (See Acts 2': 27) and when lie .appeared to the frightened disci pi es, h e said: a spirit hath not iiesii and bones as you see.me have (See 24:30), The body rose and the whole Christ ap­peared to the disciples, ascended, and lives to intercede.’ “ But now: .is, Oh.rist rlseu from the deadl and; become the/first fruits of them that slept.” The> first fruits, as offered in jewish worship. toid of thecrop to.'-b'e:gathered. , So. ditV hls resurrection. “ Of: theih that sleep.' - H is soul did: not sleep, '.but tarried in,sheol, nor do those.of Christians sleep. lie said, ’*.A11 that are in their graves shall hear his voice aud shall come forth ifcc.” (Jno. 5:28.) “And the sea gave up tbe dead which were in it,” &c. (Uev. 20:13). The soul don't go into the grave or the sea, or under the power of death; But the resurrection refates to what is there deposited, ilymeneus and Philetus erred concerning the .truth, “say­ing the resurrection is passed already.” (2 Tim. 2:18). This heresy is being re peated by all such as teach that a covering for the soul, as,it leaves the body, is all the resurrection.there is or'ever will be. De­nial of the resurrection- is usually placed where it was of old. Paul answered those who said there is or cau. be no resurrec­tion—tbat the decomposed and scattered remains chnnot be recollected. What , su­preme-nonsense Is this I. God. who crea­ted whatever Is besides himself, cau'he not preserve and collect the scattered dust*

The resurrection is purely a doctrine of revelation and is to be accomplished by miracle., If anything is clearly taught in the Bible, this-Is, and as Qod Is'.pledged to bring it to pass, there will be a resurrec*. tion of the dead. ;Nothing is.more clearly taught or certainly guaranfeed. :

2. A Type. The harvest is like the first fruits;- It is true he did not decompose, but this is not materlal. V As he rose from the dead, and demonstrated his physical identity* so: the .identlcai body . that dies, will rise again. The' harvest will be like the first fruits. The widow’s son, Laza­rus and others, w ere before him, 1>ut they .were raised to niortnl life, and tiled again. He was raised . i in mortal, r and in. this re: spect was first, Flesh and blood cannot .inherit the kingdom! pf - God not in Its gross and mortal; condition. But while A1 it is sown a natural body i t . is raised a spiritual • body.?’ - For- ‘‘ there is a natural body . and there is .. 'a spliitual :body,” changed and .adapted to Its f hture home, but a body still.' “ We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.” This refers to those who will’ be alive wlien the final trumpet slmll sound. . They will be taken up, soul atid body, but 1 n a chapged condl-: tion; of this change Paul says: “ Who will change dur vile body tliat it may be fash­ioned like unto his glorious body.”, This vile, or mortal diseased and after deatli decomposed body, is to be fashioned like his glorified body. We have a glimpse of this on Ilermon. “ His face did siiine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.”. The witnesses fell to the, earth, overwhelmed by;the outbeamihg;and sur­rounding glory. But .when changed we can bask in the effulgence of heaven.; An old grave is a sorry sight; but what a

rand, a glorious consumption, when this vile;body shall be fashioned like untoi his; glorified body, soul and body reunited, adapted to our heavenly home, and des­tined to bask, in the presence of the angels, of all the glorified, , and in the effulgence of the divineglory^'forever. .May this be the happy lot of all 1 : yi/'

Practical ChriBtianity.BY MRS,i FANNIE II. CA KIt.

: To the flippant skeptic who sneeringly asksj o f : what practical advantage Chris­tianity has been to the world, the believer may point with .justifiable pride (If this term may be allowed) to: its hospitals fpr the sick and infirm, its. institutions for friendless children, its asylums; lor the' orphan, and last but by no means least, its homes for aged men and womeui . ,

j t was my privilege tojglve a Bible read- ihg at; the home for. aged women of the M. E. Church, located - jin Philadelphla. ■ The UiajOrity of the readers;of the Kecoiid are sufficiently familiar with the above Insti- tuaiou to preclude We necessity of a de­tailed description, but as we Went throngh the buildirig we'found abundant cause fbr gratitude that, so comfortuble a home had been provided for; the d eciIning yea rs of many that sadly needed. it. Periihps we were specially qualified to appreciate .!this from the fact thut from our weekly visits' to the Block ley ul ms-house our hearts had been touched y with ./seeinghi any who more from the neglect of others than from any sins of ’their own,; had to pass their closing years in the latter institution,’ ;

; The. Bibie reading iwas: giyen in the chapel and was. w;ell uttended. As the home for aged men is on the same ground, several of these were, present: It was an excellent audience to 'speak to. One would scarcely . huve. expected -it. liy - reason of their advunced years, and yet tliev were spec ially. res pons ive; A f t e r tl» e .reading an experience meeting ensued. i 'SeveraVof tbose who’ spoke were aboye SO yeiii's of ige,. while one sister cjaitned'to be’ 02, and

had been serving the JLord • for over 71 years, py9 higher;tribute couid be. paid to Christ, being a satlsfyiiig portion, than to he»r this stater with moistened eyes and beaming face, tell of tlio peace and even Joy of her declining years.

Several of the inmates were blind or very nearly so, and yet they testified most emphatically to the power of grace to sus- tain. We could not but think what a marked contrast to the devotee of the world, as. advancing years, with their at­tendant infirmities, preclude him or her from participation in the pleasures- that hitherto have beeu their very life. As we looked upon the peaceful faces, listened to their gladsome songs, heard their cheering testimonies, we realized afresh that it pays grandly to serve God, that entirely inde­pendent of the blessed hereufter th.e solid satisfaction fround right down here ou the battle field abundantly repays his faithful followers, and we returned home renew- edly determined to live for H im whose service Is perfect freedom.

Tho Promises of God.v God’spromisesaddress themselves,;to

human needs; these needs cover a ; wide range of, experience, aridthese experi­ences; are necessary Ih .order to the com­prehending of the promises. They are like1 so many caskets full of precious store, along,the Christian's path, and open as he comes' along. In his experience,. for his refreshing and comfort and help, and just ns he may need. And what a great store these promises of God are! How full, how' com for ting,’ how: satisfy ing as we come into the circumstances and condi­tions.; jp; which they ;.are specialiy; .ad dressed. • And into these conditions we must come in order that w e' may appreci­ate them, and have them fulfilled in bur experience.The promise itself gives the assurance that the ueed will be met .as it arises as we may. come in our life’s jour­ney to the need of that particular mani­festation. It was when David was passing through trying experience that the Lord fulfilled unto him the: promise especially addressed to ills need, and not before. It was when he was/exposed tothe “ prideof man” tliat. God “ hid him in the secret of His. presence.” It .was when h e . ; was , ex­posed to the. “ stri fe of tongues-’ tliat th e L'ord .“ kept him, secretly in. His pavilion.” Thus, at the;righti-tinie,^God fulfilled in. the experience of? David the .word in which he had made hiin.to lippe. .6:/ - v; \ And so it is ever.; A certain experience in life is necessary7 in order that we ..may comprehend. and appreciate tind• apply God’s unfolding of any promise,; arid we do not need' tiie fulfilment of .that promise till we coiue to that. experience. t; • The di- vine help’of which that promise gives tiie assurance is intended . for. that experience, and for no other. Take that great 'promise: ‘‘ Fear not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed,-ifor I am tby God: when thou passest through- tiie Waters -1 will be with thee, and through thb rivers, they ishall ,'not overflow thee: when; thou walkest through the fire thou siudt not be burned, s neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.’’- In:order,to tiie fulfilment of that promise, we in list be in the circum­stances described. We must, know what is meunt by the water's, the rivers, the fires, before we can umleraDitui what is/ivf to be burned, und “ hot to sitik in deep waters where there is no standing.”’. And "e cun see at a glance that we do not ueed to know the latter until we experience the former.• So with all the '• exceeding great and precious promises” of the diviu'e word—' our experience must be the Interpreter. The young, at the beginning of theirChris- tlan course, caunot understand tuuny of the promises, do they.need to. Their unfolding-is.farther on: one experience cannot Interpret the promise for another. When that other experience is reached we find the promise there with its'precious, store; and as It opens to us its treasure/we say,.“ How great.is that goodness!*?

Let us believe in the goodness laid, up in God’s promises, aud let us cou'fidently look for its unfolding- iu the right time. Suclra faith- and confidence would rule out of our lives distress and over-anxiety as .to the future. This \l-U dUHcult to'do. Battle; against there .anxieties as we may, still theyAvlll’come. We feat* that we aro •notable for some experience that'must come, when we. do not need to be able for it now; We fear .thut- we have uot dyln. grace, when wo tio. not need it now, and would uot know what to do with it if we

had it.- The word of promise is this : “As thy day, so shall thy strength be.”J That promise includes all others.

These promises lie all about our Chris- tian pathway, and along its entire length thpy await our coming, and if, under the full control of an unwavering faith in that truth, we could only , go forwurd on the heavenly journey, these lives of ours would be largely made up of surprises, jus we should discover how God’s promises open their treasures at the right time.— United Presbyterian.

Egleston Heights.A Florida paper gives tiie following no­

tice of the new Inskip Memorial Church. Of the locality,; It is said, it Is situated on the Jacksonville and May port railroad, about four miles from the city of Jackson­ville, one mile .below Arlington. This plat of land Is owned by Mr. 0. 11. P. Champlin, and. he has recently laid it out in lots.. Egleston Heights Is on high roll­ing pine land, fifty feet above the level ot the .St. Johns river. I n many places the river- can be seen'. ■’ It - is located between two ferries, one. called Bacon’s steamboat land I n g , abou t five ml iiutes’ wol k.from the rlvejr; the other a ; railrbtid station on; the land.

Champlin made the offer of two lots to Mrs. J*: S.: Inskip; a very lovely Christian lady, and a devoted Methodist, for the purpose of putting up. a church. This, she gladly accepted, arid immediately, commenced raising moneys which was not a difficult matter, because she,is so widely know;n and so highly esteemed. : Knowing her ability to carry it forward, many!re­sponded to her call, and a nice large sum was raised. Her many friends feared to have her; visit Jacksohviiie this winter, but nothing could deter her ;frpm her pur- pose.; .Her fesolutic/n^being; formed add God her helper, she hastened to Florida, and -in four weeks from the time.the first tree fell a beautiful little church Was seen towering through the pines.- .

Spurgeon on Repentance,If you have not repentance toward God,

and*fuith. toward our. Lord Jesus Christ, you have; no part nor lot in tills matter. Repentance ii rid fu 11 h inlist .go together to’ complete each’ other. I compare them, to a door and its jiosti Kepehtance Is the door which.shuts out sin, but. faith is the post upon which its hinges are fixed, A door without a door-post to hang upon is not a door at all; while a door-post with­out the door hanging to it,is of no value w’h ate ve r. Wh’ut Ciod bath join ed togethe r let nO man put asunder; and these two He has made Inseparable—repentance and fuith.

Let no man. observe, in the first place, that there is a repentauce which is not . toward God. Discriminate this morning. Paul did not merely preach repentance, but repentance toward God; and there Is a . repentance fatally faulty, because it js hot toward God. In some there Is a repent­ance of sin which Is.produced by a tense o f; shame:-; The evil-doer s. are- foundvojit • und Indignant words are spoken about them; they are ashamed, and so far they are repentant, because they ’have dishon­ored themselves.. If they had not been found out, iti: all probability they would have continued comfortably in the sin.and even have'gpue f urther oh iii it,-s; It is said:’- that among Orientals it is not- considered • wrong to lie, but It Is considered a very greut fuult to lie so blunderingly us to be caught in it. Many who profess regret , for having done wrong are not sorry for the sin itself, but they are affected by the opinion of their fellow-men, and by the remarks that are made concerning their offence, aud so they hung their heads. Do not mistake u little, iluturul fiuttering of the heart and blushing of the face, on account of, being found out in sin, fortrue repentance. • .

.Some, again, have i i . repentunce which consists, in grief because of tbe pulnful consequences of sin. The mun has been a spendthrift, a gambler, a prpfilgate,'and', his money is gone;.aud now he repeuts thut he has played the fool. Another has been indulging the passious of hiscorrupt nature, and he finds himself sulfering for it, and therefore lie repents of his wicked­ness; * There are many citses that I need uot instance here, in which sin comes hoine very (juickly to men. Certain sins bear fralt speedily; their harvest is reaped soon after the seed Is sown. Then a nian says he.is sorry, and he gives up the sin for a time; hot because he dislikes it,, but, because be sees it is ruining h im a s sail- ors iu a storm cast overboard the .cargo of. the shlj», not because they are weary of It but because the vessel will go to the bot/ tom if they rendu it:. This is regret for consequences, not sorrow for sin. It is repentance that can never be ac'ceotible In the sight of God. ' ■ ■ . . •. . .. / ;: ‘

-Some, .again, exhibit a repentance which consists1 entirely of horror at. the future punishment of sin. This fear is Healthful in many wavs, and we can by no means . dispense with it. But if this fear goes no further than a selfish desire to escape pun­ishment, no reliance can be put upon its moral- effect. If they could be assured that no jtuuishment . would follow, such persons. would continue' iu sin, and not only be. content to live in it, but bede ’ lighted to have it so.' Beloved, true re­pentance Is sorrow for the sin itself: it has ; uot only a dread.of the death which Is in the wages of sin. but of the.sin which, earns'tiie wjiges,; If you have no repent­ance for/the s|ii Itself, it is in vain that you should stand and tremble- because of judgment to come; • •

Day after tiny the ohl llowland J Inuse . looks moro attractive under the hands of •the painters, nnd the spacious annex is now nearly completed. It will be a line Improvement.

A young people’s Society of Christian .Endeavor hns been organized in St. Patti’s Church. The following ofilcers have been elected to serve for six months: President, Miss Libbie* Thompson; Vice-Presidents, Hiss Grace Raphael and Theodore Asii- l'nore; Recording Secretary/Ml6S Carrie Kelson; Corresponding Secretary, HerbertD. Clark; Treasurer, Miss Julia Garrison.

Easter Sunday was a delightful day. In the early morning there was some rain, but about 8 o’clock the sun came out and as the day advanced it .became so warm that it seemed like n day in June. Be­tween the church services people found their way to tiie beach and enjoyed a walk along the shore of the ever attractive sea.

The love feast at St. Paul’s on Monday night was one of the best ever .enjoyed. The speaking was prompt, brief and spirit­ed, and the testimonies evinced a deep spirituality ami growing experience. The hour aud a'half passed quickly, and there

, was a general regret that the time was up. Tiie bread breaking was very general and gave a freedom to the meeting that great­ly contributed to its edification. •

Mr. T. M. Dickey, who wasat the Grove on tree-planting day, set out a choice Nor­way maple, corner of Pisgah Way and Thornley Place, where his cottage stands, in memory of his'friend, the late Rev., J. II. Thornley. He also planted a similar tree as a birthday memento - in the name of ‘his little grand daughter,-’Ethel May Dickey, . who was born at Ocean Grove that day one year ago, and three silver maples around his . cottage grounds on Thornley Place.

Rev. F. H. Purdy, .when about to start for eVening service on last Sabbath, was taken suddenly ill, and had a shorp, al*

—thoi/gh brief attack of asthma. In the hands of. Dr. Bnrr’s assistants, he received needed - attention; and - we are glad to say, felt well enough on Monday to start for Isuw York‘to spend his 73d birthday with liis family and friends on Tuesday of this week. lie is stopping while in the city at the New York Hotel,.

Mr. William B. Douglas has prepared a fine centennial exhibition in his show win­dow, at the corner of Mattison avenue and Bond .street, Asbury 'Park, being an ar­rangement of the following pictures: A

* portrait of Washington at top; Washing­ton’s home at Mt. Vernon and a rare en­graving of his marriage,' with a painting, of Washington’s Headquarters at Newburg- on-the-Hudson. Tiie group Is quite uttruc-

, tive, and in keeping with the Xew York celebration of next week.

Tres-Planting Day.INTERESTING SERVICES AT OCEAN OROVE.

Ocean Park.lQtei e9tiug Easter services were hehl ut

the little church in Oceari Park lust Sub* buth. Rev..I. T. Tucker, of Ocean Grove, preached an earnest and eloquent sermon. The church was elaborately decorated witli .flowers, the children sung delightfully, the congregation very good, and the whole service enthusiastic and profitable. Rev. Mr. Horner preached well in the evening.

Next Sabbath the pastor, . Rev. I)r. Stokes, will preach to the members of the Sabbath-school, at which time, the chil­dren will sing again. All are invited.

Eastsr Celebration..The services at St. Paul's Church were

of an.interesting character. The entire day was devoted to the joyous subject of Christ’s resurrection. The pulpit and altar were.well filled with flowering plants, etn-

.blemsever beautiful of tbe resurrectlou. On the pulpit was placed a cross and a crown, composed of May pinks and Pixy

'moss, aud-a larger cross of the same mate­rial wys staudlug in the altar. The Moral decoratlous were very tasteful and pro- duced a pleasing eilect.

The choir, under the leadership of \Vil- lisford Dey, rendered .anthems suited to the day, both morning and evening, and they never sung better than last Sunday

By request of the' pastor, Rev. G. R. Snyder preached an appropriate ‘ sermon in tho morning, a report of which Is found in another column. In the. evening the

: pastor conducted an Duster service for tho benefit of the children of the Sunday- school. . .The address was in harmony with the day; and while it was suited to the comprehension of children, it was not without interest to those of older years. The congregation both morning aud even­ing was very. large, so that extra chairs lmd to be brought In. It was a day of spiritual profit to many hearts.

Wednesday, April; 24, was one of the finest of the opening Spring, and its shin­ing hours were well occupied in setting out a large number of healthy young trees as ordered by lot owners, and on account of the Association. At .10 a . m . there was a considerable- gathering' in. Centennial Square, near the central flower, vase, of which, preparations. were made for tiie planting of a beautiful Norway maple; in memory of the late Rev. Joseph H. Thorn- ley.• Atter a few verses of - the hymn,

" Jllest be the tie th a t binds,Our hearts iu Christian love,” «fcc.,

and prayer by Rev. Henry Belting, pastor of St. Paul’s Church, Dr.Stokes expressed the interest ho felt in every recurrence of the occasion, and the continued growth of the trees formerly planted. He said they had selected the very best'Norway maple obtainable, to plant as a memorial of the. beloved Brother Thornley. This tree, suitably trimmed, hud been placed in posi­tion, and standing around it a number of brief addresses were delivered and stanzas sung, while tears fell from many eyes, as one after another referred to tho excellent friend and brother whose name was to be associated with.this growing tree. .

Vice-President Bullard said the Norway maple being our strongest and- most sym­metrical of trees, fully' represented such a character as Joseph-H. Thornley ra man of strong convictions, earnest purposes and untiring devotion to God and the church.

A. Wallace further referred to the sym holism of the tree about to be planted, and said, like the .grave of a certain good man it could be easily fount! by the well- worn path of visitors to tlio spot. Hero hundreds will pause with loving memories, for the nume on ’ this tree lives In their hearts.

G. W. Evans recalled the Scriptural similitude often occurring in God^sWord, of a tree to signify the righteous, loved of the Futher. and held in everlasting remem­brance.

Dr. A Id ay quitted* the- first. Psalm and emphasized the “ blessedness”, conferred on the godly man, such blessedness as we all associate with him who has fallen asleep after going and sutfering the will of God. “ Let us ull,” he added, “ follow him as he followed Jesus.” . • "

Major Patterson spoke of Mr. Thornley as the friend of every one. In and around Ocean Grove. There was cheerfulness in ids tone, and inspiration in hi?, very look. W'e can never cease to think of his labors and his life here among us. _ .

The following words, printed on a neat little curd .were then suing, M tv Will is ford Dey leudlug and ull preseut joining in the sentiment:

TREE PLANTING SONG.•Toseph Thornley, u n to theo.P lan t wo th is m em orial tree : ho t thy blessing, Lord, descend,On this t ree nam ed for our friend.May t t llvo through many ycara,W atered by affection’s tours,And like him Bprcad.gladucas round, . Through this consecrated ground.

God In heaven, bless w c pray,All tho trees wo p lan t th is d a y ;Glvo them sunshine, glvo them shower, Grant th y blessing every h o u r ; chi Id i on ye t unborn bo cay.U nder trees w o p lan t th is d a y ;O : Thou Holy Trinity,- Send a blessing on each tree.

E. I I.S .After further remarks by Dr; Stokes,

lie’ said each person present might throw a handful of earth into the cavity around the memorial tree, explulning that Mrs. Thornley had sent him u hoto excusing herself from Ijeing preseut. lie then led little Beithn and Hurry’ the children, for­ward, and each, deposited a handful of earth. Their nurse, “ tho faithful Anne,” followed, witliher tears falling like rain. Then Dr. Stokes, next Bro. Evans, who set

the example of taking two. lmndsful, and so all had n. part in this commemorative act.

A number, after the doxology was sung, picked up the twigs that had been , cut ofll in trimming tho tree, and carried them awnv to plant in their gardens.

EVENING EXERCISES.-A lavgo congregation gntheved In St.

Paul’s M. E. Church nt 7.80 p . m ., tiie presi­dent in charge. A leaflet similar to those Used at the Summer Surf Meetings, but' exclusively on tiie'subject of .** Trees’’ was. distrl buted, and the ■Scripture1; passages! iill in some sense relating to the topic of the day, were read responsively by the leader and audience,-interspersed with appropriate stanzas sung, and addresses by members of the Association tind others who were present.'

The first to be called on for impromptu remarks was Dr. Alday, who although busy through tho day superintending the re­moval of his cottage, seemed to be unusu­ally inspired by a theme so full of sug­gestive teaching, as “ trees of rlgeteoous- ness,” plauted by the Divine hand to grow, and flourish iu the garden of God, and rising to tho unmeasured possibilities of grace in its transforming iuflueuce, fitting souls on eiirtli for the paradise of the' salntsi; :

Rev. A. E. Ballard's address, which by a broud hint. was limited to three minutes, he finished.in less time, was a fine poetic conception of God’s superintendence in the realm of nature, tiie order and magni­tude of universal law in each of the klng: doms of creation, and tiie object lessons of earth relating to heaven, the future and eternal home of the soul, . ; . , • •

Rev.W.H.Wnrdell, In bis' usually flu­ent manner, discoursed, bn the palm tree in contrast, with the cedar,, representing Summer anti Winter, and symbolizing the eharacteristics of Cliristian life and expe­rience. His . address, like that of Dr. Aldayi was a luminous sermon in- brief compass, which delighted the audience. \

Rev; Bro. Betting’s theme, was tiie Influ­ence of trees on the healthfulness and beauty of the natural world, with a : very forcible application to. professing Chris­tians, having at command all tho condi­tions of comeliness and growth to matu­rity, ought to bless the age in which they live.

A recitation came in at this stage of the exercises. It was the poem entitled “ Grandfather’s Cane,” appeoring in lust week’s R e c o r d , by Master Chas. Raphael, who had the piece thoroughly memorized, and - witli a sapling to aid in personifica­tion, pictured .the old man’s soliloquy to the life. :

Bros. Evans aud Wallace both referred to Rev. Henry C. Mead as a substitute, and yielded to this always popular speaker the time allotted to them.

This turned out fortunately, as Bro. Mead, weary us lie was with work aud travel, almost exceeded himself in agraud climax to all the addresses of the evening,' for which, in the name of the people and iu our own behalf, we render due acknowl­edgments. .. The Doctor, of course, had ample op-

portunity to.drop in a pleasant word' here and there, nnd finally wound up one of the best “ Tree-Planting Day” meetings ever held in Ocean Grove.

Then and Now.When New: York city commemorates,

tills month, the first inauguration, it is but fitting that the occasion should be per- mealed with the personality of Washing­ton, in the spirit of Lowell’s noble apos­trophe to Virginia iu his ode, “ Under the Old Elm:” '

M other of States aud undlm inished men,Thou gavest us a eouutry, giving him,And we owe always w hat we owed thee then.And yet the “plain people” of his. time

should not he denied the merit, great in any people, of a prompt and whole-souled recOgnltlou of their ideal in the great mail as he came into their horizon. They did not kill the prophet who had been sent to them, but followed: him reverently, affec­tionately^ and ■ to their, country’s highest good. : One pluce of honor after another was thrust Upon him, and not one of them with the trace of an effort to obtain it. His most confidential correspondence, shows In variably; the .asme; sincere conviction, whenever any such advancement was pro posed tor him, that it was entirely beyond the range of his abilities and that It was his duty to urge the selection of some one else. The popular recognition of his sin­cerity deserves to be recorded. It was an honor to both sides—Washington’s un­affected. reluctance to accept the ofiices provided for him, aud the people’sintenso belief that.ho was the heaven-sent occu­pant of those particular positions.

Have our people changed their ideal or changed their nature in tho past century V It would seem that oue or other of theso events had taken place, in tho view of shrewd.politicians, • This Is a period of our history In which a vacancy In ofllceIs a signal for self-seeking candidates for nom­inations on either side to publish and push their •' claims,” to trumpet the superiority, of their chances, to have their committees; workers,, newspaper organs, and all tho other apparatus of self-laudation, carefully Overseen ,by themselves and paid for by themselves or their admirers. Is this the way in which the American people of this generation Is condemned .to seek and dis­cover its ideal't—Century Topics. '

It was incorporated, indeed, Feb. 25, 1939, but not completed nnd formally opened;as a school until 1840, What a ctireer she has seen since then! How Francis Asbury would be delighted could he journey thither now ! Her first president.(Cooke) afterward became president of Clafiin University, South Carolina, and recently died “full of years and full of honors.’* Another (Vail) subsequently became Pro­fessor in tho Biblical Institute at Concord, N.

. A Catholic Ploa for. Toleration.At tho dedication of tho new Catholic *

church, St. Paul’s, on North Carolina street, "Baltimore, on n recent Sunday, Car­dinal Gibbons, In the course of his sermon said: “ We wero informed recently by the daily newspapers that a certain anti-Chris­tian Sunday-school*was organized in this City for tho purpose of advocating an infi­del doctrine. Several ministers appealed to the municipal authorities to suppress the school. For-my part I would'he sorry . to see tiie arm of the civil law used toward the suppression of this school. Our divine Saviour never had recourse to tho arm of the. law or the sword in teaching His doc­trine. The only weapons wo ought to use aro the weapons of argument nnd persua- ' slon in dealing with this school. The only sword I would draw against the enemy of Christ is . the sword of the Spirit.”

To this deliverance Joseph Cook makes . tho following response: “ Cardinal Gib­bons seems to be in danger of papul ex­communication. He teaches in u recent sermon that tho civil law should not be used to suppress heresy. Ho thinks that the only sword .. drawn uguln6t Infidels : should be the sword of tho Spirit.

"What did the new mlm 1 nistratloh mean by “ consideration ” ? Many. a - disap­pointed oflice: seeker -has 'asked',' liimself this question over, ahd over again during the past few -weeks. The announcement of-President Harrison that ,all applicants for ofllco would be treated with “ consider­ation ” was: received Ijy the place-hunters with a chorous of popular approval. It was. regarded by every one of them as a guarantee of a hearing. Every man wlio wanted to serve his country for a snug lit­tle salary. felt satisfied that if he could once catch the ear of the'President he was morally sure of ah appointment. His “papers” would carry him through. • All that was necessary was for the President to see his Indorsements, and the prize was

: awarded.. /“ Consideration,” however, has not In all

cases proved the opon-sesame to a Govern­ment position that it was expected to be, and It is beginning to dawn upon the minds of in any tlfed and hungry patriots that “ consideration ” may mean much or it may mean very little, and that the Pres­ident does not feel pledged by it to give a place to every man who asks for one.

A scheme is talked of which has for its object tho pensioning of Government

; clerks. No appropriation Is'sought* it be­ing merely proposed to ask legislation which will legalize such a plan. The proposition Is to create the fund by sub­scription from employeeSj for that purpose the sum of One dollar being deducted from each clerk'8 salary. In the event of retirement after thirty .'years’ service, the clerk retiring receives a pension of forty dollars per.month. .

The .proposition has thus far received endorsement of the very old men who have been in the Departments a long time but not of the young men. It is said that the matter will, be favorably • agitated in

• the-official rejiVrt of the War Department for the current year. .

, It is estimated tliat there' are between s(x and seven thousand clerks on whose salaries such assessment'would be made, and those now subject to the benefits would number less thun a score. A mass meeting will.probably be held to discuss tho measure.

One of the last insurance schemes that was started was without tho support of ofli- clal favor, but it was quite popular, for a time ln ujgS. * It was an insurance against discharge. For two dollars a month tho clerk could secure to himself the payment of $500 at discharge. Everything went along swimmingly for tho company for several months. Itecrults came In rapidly. Therowas.no trouble about assessments. Then the higher class clerks began to drop out, and only the messengers and nonclassified employees- stuck to tho scheme. Along in the fall this class wag ruthlessly slaughtered, the guarantee com­pany suspended operation nnd there was another apartment ,for rent in a popular, ofllce building.

The President’s much talked of cruise down tho Potomac for recreation and re­storation to health, the latter having been visibly impaired during his short occupan­cy of the White Houso by tho persistency of the ofllce seekers,'was of short duration For several days a small black-hulled slde- whoel steamer had been lying at one of the city wharves, with bunked fires, ready to start nt u few minutes’ notice. On Tuesday morning tho President with seve­ral members of the Cabluet and their ladles boarded It, and went thirty-two miles down the river, returning, in the afternoon. • Tho excursionists expressed themselves as gratified with a well spent day, but It must havo seemed a rather brief respite for the over-worked Execu­tive.

Another hitch has occurred in the effort to build a navy, The board of bureau chiefs to which was referred the plans and proposals for the new coast defense vessel will report to the Secretary of the Navy that It Is doubtful If any of the bids can be accepted and sufficient money left to the credit of the amount 'appropriated to arm and equip tho vessel andiit the same time pay.for the proposed submerging tor­pedo boat. ■■■'■ i" ■■■'■ -

Red Cloud, the distinguished Indian chief, Is here to see the Great Father. When they met the President said ‘‘How” and Red Cloud said “ IIow,” but after that the assistance of an interpreter was neces­sary to finish the interview. " \

Tuesday was the twenty.seventh anni­versary of the emancipation of the slaves In the District of Columbia, a day that the colored peoplo always celebrate with as much “ pomp aud circumstance as they can command. After the procession, which was favored with parade weather such as we hud on inauguration day, Fred Douglass delivered1 the address of the evening and gave his opinion of tho pres, ent outlook of the negro race, which was not hopeful.

The "Ts," Column,The Y’s of Ocean Grove lmvc labored

zealously during, the year in nil deport nients of their work, to advance the cause of temperance locally ns well as nation- ally. And they are now turuiugsomo of their work'to account. At a special meet­ing held Friday evening, April 10, the fol­lowing appropriations were made: $5 for purchasing literature and books for the temperance school held weekly In St. Paul’s Cliurcli; £15 to the young of the National Temperance Hospital, Chicago; For a year aud a half the Y’s of our coun­try have been supporting a bed for young women lu the hospital; and have also fur­nished a room known as the “ Y Room.”

The Board of Trustees of the hospital decided to build, and land hns been ob-

, tained as near tho centre of the city ns possible. The uew building will consist of a inaiu building aud wings. The Y!s of America are going to build one of the wings, to be known as the “ Y” wing. This hospital is established to demonstrate the fact that no alcohol is needed lu medi­cine, nnd thus make plain to all, that the entire manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors can be prohibited, und no one will be inconvenienced in any way; and that all diseases may be cured more readily and with better results where alcohol is not used. There have been six patients in the “ Y ” bed since. Oct 20, lt?ST, and all have

• beenjrestored to* health.Also $15 to Organ!zuiion Fundi The

efforts of tho past year to meet the calls in organized States, and Territories, the con­stant demand for literature tuul the growth of department work makes the necessity for providing a substantial fund impera­tive. As Increasing the number of Unions and winning the young people to member­ship aud active cooperation promotes every department of temperance work, whether local, State or Xational, the young Indies feel encouraged in their work, having met all the demands upon them as auxiliary to the State aud Na­tional, and a surplus left in the treasury for more work. -

The freshness of the Spring air seems to give new life to us as. weir as to the plants. The heart buds with hope, the Imagination builds castles in the air, and increased vigor adds new earnestness ot the will. While our hearts are free nnd pay; we remember there are others whose hearts are bursting with anguish. While to us the future is bright with a light “ that shiueth more and more unto the per­fect day,” to others the future is dark and dreary and dismal. What brings about tliis sorrow? With shame, ns we think of

^heVaunted and real grandeur of the coun- try We love, we have to answer that the misery, the crime and the wretchedness

• which darkens so many lives is. brought about by a traflic carried on by the author- ity and with the legal sanction of the State —of the whole people. IIow long must this thing continue?

The Keystone State’s fight for . the amendment is all-absorbing down .there. W’s nnd Y’s are bestirring themselves in Its favor. The line of bnttle is tightly drnwn,and it is now a'questlori of right and wrong. The traflic is wrong, there­fore those who support it are on the wrong side. Every man who votes against tiie amendment will thereby make patent to the world the fact that he is willing to take the wrong side.

For the information of those not fa- miHar witU thiB interesting place, a few facts may be briefly stated:

L O C A T IO N . ,

I t is located s ix m iles south of Long Branch, Im­m ediately on the shore o f the A tlantic Ocean. I t is bounded on the north and south by beautiful fresh w ater lakes i on th e east by tbo ocean, and on th e west by llneB nearly, parallel w ith the Railroad. ' • . . ■’

; ... B X T B N T , ;. .• / ;v'

I t comprises over three hundred acres o f laud, two-thirds o f wh.'jli are groves, and th e rem ainder beach land; . The whole p lo t is now laid 'out In grand avenues irom eighty to three hundred feet wide ,

S IZ E O F L O T S .

The average size o f lots is 80x60 feet, which, is large enough for a Fmall cottage, such as th e m a­jority prefer to bu ild . Those, w ho wish, to build larger buy two o r m ore lota. ' .*• .

B V IL D I N O S . '

v On these avenues about'e ight hundred cottages a re now bu ilt, v ary ih g in cost from 0 3 0 0 t o 85»- OOO. T here a re About forty additional buildings, consisting o f large. boarding houses, stores,-and such o ther edifices as th e business q f the place demands. To these buildings others aro : being constantly added, so th a t the precise num ber given to-day -will n o t ansiver for the num ber a week or a m onth henco. All o f tho cottages are comfortable-rsonie o f them p lain, and o thers pos*

; . W A T E R , .

W ater of th e pnreRt aiid best quality , an d In in ­exhaustible quantities,via obtained by means of tube pumps, driven to a depth o f 25 o r 80. feet through the solid gravel, and six everflOwing Ar- eslan wells, from 'a d ep th o f over 400 feet.

"t e n t s .

Iii addition to cottages and boarding houses as places of residence, tents a re used by m any people. Every year, about six hundretTof these are erect­ed, and although th e season,inay bo 'stormy—the w indtsometimes blowing alm ost -ft gale—yet but few h ave eycr beeu b low n down, w hen properly p u t up. Theso; ten ts a re , dry and comfortable, even iu w et w eather. M any : persons prefer tents to cottages, a s they say, *'T en t life is a change— wo live in houses or cottages a t home.” Tents of good size, and in good condition, erected and rea^y for occupancy, can; alw ays be had on rea­sonable ter pis by application to th e Secretary's ofllce. ’ :•
