It la a aolemn thought that lfe a not a mere pass, lug through empty tme, a mere exstng. It a dong Bomethlog, leavng mmethlng behnd to mark Kb courfe. It la the weavng of a web that remans. Kttch mcment» a thread that adda to the aubatance of the web, and the record of each year and day and hour s thua contaned In the web taelf. Aa wll be enrolled at thelaat day, we can mark out the character of each day and hour that we have lved by the way n whch the thread hae beeta woven n, and by the nature of Ihe threads tbembtlvea. Our lfe Is u.qtddne wlth and ended when It Is lved. It s lke the gr wlng of aree that bears n ts trunk the annual crcles of the years of Us growth, nature's own talles; and we can tell by ths curous calendar not only how old the tree s by the number of these crcles, but also the character of the growth of each year and the nature of the seasons by the sfee and appearance of the rlng. The textures woven by the Jewsh weavers had often very elaborate patterns, buch as the vels of the tabernacle, whch were woven wth fgures of the cherubm. And so our lfe has all knds of patterns woven nto the web, Joys and sorrows, prospertes and adveraules, comedes and tragedes, scenes of lfe and death. It U a chequered pattern woven of black and whte and gold threads, wth some red-letter days Intermxed, t la a acene of strfe and turmol, lke a pece of Upeetry, representng a medlt8?al atory, hung on a castle wall. The pattern In every case a so large that It requres the whole web of lfe to complete It. Every peraon'a lfe la a plan of God; and the ahuttle of each day and hour s busy contnually brngng out and flnlahng that plan. The bographw of the Bble ate gven to us that we may see how God works out Ha own deagna Id the texture of human Uvea. The Incldenta and experlencee of our dally lfe may aeem to have no more method In them than the aucccslvewavea of the sea drven beftore a caprcloua wnd, and yet they are all regnlated by a wlaeand graolona purpose; and God wui make manumt In the end the pattote at whch we have been workng IgnoranUy on the wrong ade all out daya, aa thedealgn of the workman n the tapeatry of the Gobellna latevealed the tnb a flnlbed and turned loand. In a rtral dlltrot of aoothetq ftmoe there naed to be a benavnlant octety, the object of whloh waa to do away wth begrlof altogetbar, and to help the poor In anoh a way aa not to paopedae them. Work waa alwaya lve them. Tl«y wm nqnlfed to cat and carry wood, or to help on the farms. Often work was mprovsed for those who appled for relef. When there waa no useful work to be done, the appllcauta In such cases were sent on a sbam errand to a neghborng farm, Just for the sake of gvng them somethng to do, or they were asked to carry a log of wood on ther shoulder from one farm to another, and then back agalu. Every two neghborng famles had such a log between them; owng to Its beng thus constantly carred backward and forward, wthout any need for t, or any useful purpose to be served by t, t was called "The Poor Man's Shuttle." It s to be feared that ths "poor man's shuttle" stll exsts, and Is n extensve use I A good deal of what passes under the name of workng and lvng Is only a carryng backwards and forwards of the poor man's shuttle, workng and llvlug wthout any object or end, busly occuped n dong nothng, spendng money for that whch s not bread, and labor for that whch satlsfleth not. Such a shuttle weaves no cloth, and adds no endurng or estmable pattern to the web of lfe. Weavers have a proverb that for "a web begun God sends the thread." If our loom and reel and splnnng wheel be Idle and empty all day, the proverb wll never be fulflled In our experence. God wll gve us help to help ourselves. If we use arght the facultes He has gven to us He wll enable us to fnd or furnsh the thread. We shall create It out of our own lfe, as the caterpllar and the spder form her slk. The swft shuttle of lfe wove for Job a royal robe of vctory In whch the sorely afhicted sant waa clothed at last. He had lost everythng, but 1]IS had all restored n hgher fom. He came agan nto prosperty, but not as the same man; he had entered nto the fe'lowshp of God. And ao the swft shuttle of lfe, wth Us sorrows and suflerlngs, wth ts losses and changes, can weave for us even In ths world a robe of dgulty and honor. Let us utlze, then, and cousecrate the swlfc movements of the weaver's shuttle for the hghest purposes. Let us adorn t e doctrne of God our Savour In all thngs, not by embroderng patterns of oor own upon t, wthout whch t mght seem to us plan and unattractve, but rather by dealng wth the doctrne as the damavk weaver deals wth hs cloth. He makes the cloth ItseU-by the sklful arrangement of ts threads In such dlrerent ways as to catch the lght at dfterent angles-to produce the most dstnct and beautful patterns. And thus we can be so Imbued wth the dvne doctrne that we can work t out n ouselvea by God's help, weave t In the web of our lfe»o (tankly and freely that at whatever angle the lght catches t, at whatever pont the spectator looka at t, he may see new beauty In t. We hear It often sad that the web of lfe s a van thng-the mere weavng of a shroud, and that there Is no use In waatng tme or trouble upon It, for It wll soon be taken down by death, and It wll decay and persh lke the garment wnch Jeremah hd for a year on the banks of the Euphrates, and whch the damp and ravages of tme destroped. But our lfe s n realty lke the famous Web of Penelope In the old Greek atory. At the cloae of the Trojan war all the great chefa who aurvlved returned home wth the Greek army. But Uyssee, the greatest of them all, faled to appear. Year after year passed, untl ten long years had come and gone, but atll he returned not. Hla wfe, Penelope, who was young and far, waa Importuned by anltor after autor for her hand. But ahe had an unfalterng convcton that her husband would one day oome< back to her; and therefore she promsed tht whenever a web that she waa weavng would be Oolahcd aha would wed one of her auton. She wove all day; but, at nght, ahe aeoretly nnravelled the web and took down what ahe had wovan. And thua aha oontlnaed for a whole year to weave In tha daytme, and take down at nght what ahe had wovan, nntu n tha and hat hoaband returned, and her faltlftl lova waa otowned wltb Uw happlnaaa whch t dmanred. The story of each of us Is lke that of ths devoted Grecan wfe. Our lfe Is a weavng and unweavng of a web lke hers. We are takng down each by exercse and work, by mere lvng, what we are addng to the substance of our bodes. We ate contnually wastng the materal of onr bodes, and contnually reparng that waste; and the object of all tha seemngly useless labor Is, that we may accomplsh the purpose for whch God has sent us Into the world; that we may obtan the end of our fath, even the salvaton of onr souls. We jare wallng for the comng of our Lord; and therefore we should tegard our busness. and all tha happena to us, our Joyaand sorrowa, onr buyng and sellng, onr gans and losses, as bnt the weavng and unwmvlng of a Penelope'a web, havng no value n themaelvee except aa they aerve to develop our moral nature, and to occupy ns durng the weary hours of our Lord's absence, and enable ua to put asde the temptauons that would aeek to oon> quer our hearts, and to drag them away to a'lowet love than that upon whch they ought to beaet. And contnung thua futhful unto death, our fath and devoton wll In the end be rewarded. He that shall come wll come and wll not tarry, and take ua home wth Hm to the everaaung blessedneea of Heaven. ', Greenock, Scotland. ANSWER TO DR. HUDSONS'S " QUESTION.' The pont I made In my artcle waa that the 1641 Baptlsta took the polra' that tanmtalqn bavl beec leatored by them at tle hands olrnbaptlsed'amntrators, the admnktratlon of the ordnance should heuceforth go on n a regular or "orderly way" In the churches; and that the atrcter dement among them practced close commnnlon as baaed upon a restored mmerson whch they held as prerequste to the Lord's Supper. I quoted Klflln, Kng, Jessey and others of that perod who undoubtedly take ths poston. Dr. Hudson paya no attenton to the authnrltlea quoted from that perod, nor doea he crtcse ther poston, but smply dfuda n tm. hypo* thetlcal alternatve of those who endorse Dr.'Whtstt's "l&ll theory.", It la'not the queston of Dr. Whltsltt's "theory" or any theory at all. It Is a matter of fact at the hands of a large number of 1041 Baptst authortes. The thug to do s to crcse them and show ther nconsstency. Dr. Whltsltt, and eo of hundreds of the ablest and purest Baptst mnstry wthout regard to Baptlat hstory, accept alen mmerson. Dr. Whltsltt thnks also that to teject It conflcts wth the 1G41 BaptUt poston. On tha pont I dlter, and hold wth the 1641 Baptlsta that the ordnance havng been restored under a " necessty," as Jessey has t, should henceforth be admlnr. tered In an " orderly way" In the churches, as Kng and pthera put t. I am a close-baptlam, cloee oommunlon, cloce-ordnatlon Baptst upon the ground that Kfflu, Kuollya, Kng and other etrct Baptlata of 1G4I were. I beleve they had a Scrptural rght to restore baptsm and preserve It as restored by regular admnstraton. I fbllow the Scrptutes and.baptlat hstory, not the " theory" of any man. Now to Dr. Hndaon's "quefeton," whch reada: " If there was ever a tme there were no horses In the world, would there be any now? or If there was ever a day snce Chrst organed hs church and sad the gates of hell should not preval aganst t there were no baptsed kelleversor Baptst Church, would there beany now?" 1. Aa to the horses, Vo, unless God should have created more horaea, whloh he could very ely have done: and In whch event the gatea of death would notluva prevaled agalnat the horaea. 2. Aa to Baptlat Churchee, }%«, auoe, n apltaof tha gatea of hall, God, accordng to ptomlaa, has peaarvad ha aprttual khgdom thongh a Ihe of bellevera, who hava reatocd the vudble otdar of the ohutohea, aa oftan aa It haa bean deatroyad,' thraogh the Sotptoraa.

I paut uybcfupon the teatnouy of the U BaptotB tltem- Beveg; and f Dr. Hudson H to crltcete anybody ho ouht crtcse them, not me. Accordng to a multtude of authorlles ther poston la aa followa : 1. " tod bath had a people on earth, ever Blnce the comng ofuhrlut to the lesh, throughout the darkest ages of Pop«ry, whch he hath owned to be eant and m» bs church. 2 " That theo vanta have power to ronbhuno and take up as ter rght any urduance of ChlHt wlcl they have been deprved of by the voleuce aud tyranny uf the man of (<u. 8 " Now then there havng; been a aucceatlo of belevers, aud of couuuncatk of the Sprt aud prophthjfug, enabllug them n some meahure to declare be Word, they may by vrtue of Cbrm'n cummaud and commlksou aud by order of the Uospel take up baplhu, eteo aud otdau oflleert aud set upon the use of any ordluauce tbey may Hud n the Wool of Gd to be thers;/or n the S-jrpUren ux 111oy fnd (he way of ChrUt. 4 "Ths Is the very way to rtjorm what s amwt: yea, and the people of Ood [l«ptstt>] have reformed, aud takeu up ordnances upon ths consderaton; as of Israel's takng up crcumcsuu [lost n the wlderue] u the Land of Cauaan, Jol v. 2." Bee Danel Kng (Way to Hou, pp. 1, So, 05). Ths work of Kng was eudorxed wth an Introducton by Wllam Kftu, Thomas Pateut, John Hplsbury aud John Pearson, who dgued the Baptst Confesson of 144; aud every one of these great BaptlHts, ucludug auch men as Barber, Barrow, Cornwell, Kllcop, Blackwood, Denne, Lawrence, Kaye, Lamb, Allen, Collns, Gale, Jessoy aud others, wrote books u vndcaton of the poston held by Ivug. They debated the queston for more than half a century wth the Pedobaptsts, Quakers aud Seekers, assumng that baptsm had been lojt and restored by the Baptsts. Ther opponents alarmed that f the ordnances were lost they could not be restored except by second John the Baptst or an angel from heaven, or an tl Chrst came agvn about what succemon Baptsts now clam; and the 1641 Baptsts nvarably repled that what had been once set up u the New Testament, when lost, could be restored by the authorty of the Scrptures, or the commsson of Chrst (Matt, xxvll. 19, 120). Not only so, but these 1641 Baptsts, wthou excepton, took the poston that Matt. xv. 18 referred to the sprtual church, or lne of belevers, and not to the organc or vsble order ot the church; and that out of the sprtual Hue tod would costantly restore the vsble order and contnue the organc churches to the end u spte of the gates of hell. They repudated the doctrue of vmblc saccesslon as the " mark of the beasf'--the clam of Rome. (Smth's Character of the Beast, pp. 57, 59; Splsbury's Lawful Subjects of Baptsm, pp. CtJ, 03; Blackwood's Apostolcal Baptsm, p. 77). Whether there was ever a day snce Chrst when there was uo Baptst Church, as we now have It, the most expert hstorans are unable to say; aud uutl rwently and for 260 years the Baptst scholarshp of the world has Interpreted Matt. xvl. 18 as referrng to the sprtual and not the local body of belevers. Those Eogllsh Baptsts of 1641 and onward clamed by necessty" to have restored the vsble order of the churches through selforglnatod baptsm; and they knew nothng of any successon, organcally, from pror AnabaptlsU. It was thus that Smth aud Spllsbury In England aud Roger Wllams In Amerca restored gospel order frst u church coustltuton and the mnlutry based upon belevers' baptsm by hatever mode; aud, secoud, In restorng the proper form of baptsm afterwad. Dr. A. W. Lamar tells me that n the frst settlement of Lousana some belevers after readng ther Bbles became Baptsts one mmersng another and he In turu Immersng the rest, and out of whose membershp and mnstry hss grown largely a whole Baptst Assocaton lu that State. They are, If so, as good Baptsts as lve u hetory, and as Scrptural; and f at auy tme every Baptst organlkttlou should be swept from the earth aud the Bble were left, then would be belevers who would make Baptsts aud restore the gospel order of the churches.

J H. trme n hs artce In the RAITIST AM> ItKK.K-ROK H)me m>tb8 ago U H)U the sul'ject, "Uod'sSuvertKuty and MauV Free Agency," In wh-l he clamed that repentau<-e and fath followed rogeueratou as n cons( (ec»; l>ut uorn efedally so at bs reply to te cr<--mh of ' IguoramuH," 111 wlel he asserted that ths Is Kapl>t doctrne, whch uo well luformed Haptt wll deny. Now 1 do not clam to >>e a theolokau >y any neano, but I do clam to have a clear and ntellgent concepton of the plau of salvatou or the doctrne uf grace as taught by Chrst aud hs aposhs aud as held and taught l>y the Mssonary Baptsts, and I deny most emphatcally, even at the rsk of exposng my guorauce, that ths Is the doctrne leld aud taught by the Mssonary Baptsts as a deunmluatou. The Duck Rver Arsoclatlon -everal years nnce adopted the New Hampshre Declaraton of Fath, aud ordered tle same publshed aunually u the mnutes ss the fath of ths body, aud also as a gude for the or- Rauz»tlo of uew churches. Ths actou was taken at tle staueeof the venerable Wm. Hull" solely to delne our uterpreatlons of the doctrne of electon and grace. It was passed wthout a dssentng voce or vole. Now I refer hm to tegth and 8th artcles In sad declaraton of fath, whch, nterpreted n harmony wth each other, gve the Baptst vew on ths su'ject, and justfy us u our asserton and refute Bro. Urme's poston, uotwuhstaudng the favorable comments of the edtor, under whch he seeks to take refuse. Further, n order to sustan my poston and to show that the Duck Rver Aesocaton of Baptsts are not out of harmony wth the great Baptst brotherhood, I refer hm to a book called Baptst Doctrnes, edted by Charles A. Jenkns, and especally to page 2±I, u whch Prof. Newmau asserts that" repentance Is the frst step and Indspensable to remsson of sns " I would also nvhe attenton to the sermon of Rev. Rchard Fuller, D.D., on the subject of Predestnaton, page 479, and especally to what he says on pages 493-4, whch s clearly In accord wth our vews as set out n the 0th and 8th artcles of fath as above stated, but s too lengthy to copy here. Suffce t to say that ths book has qute an extensve crculaton among Baptsts, and s recognzed as a standard work on the doctrnes as held and taught by the Mssonary Baptsts as a denomnaton. I have been a member of the Baptst Church for nearly ffty years, and have never, as I now remember, heard the doctrne as taught by Bro. Grmo proclamed from the pul It save upon two or three occasons, at whch tmes the congregatons were startled and many comments elcted. Therefore I thnk It devolves upon hm to prove hs assertons. However, for hs c lusolaton I wll admt that ths doctrne Is taught perhaps by our old Calynst or Hardshell brethren and by a few of the hyper-calvlulstc brethren n our own denomnaton, but they are certanly few and far between. I also admt that, f the convcton ofa snnor by the Holy Sprt Is regeneraton or the new brth, then Bro. Grme's poston Is correct aud repeutance and fath would follow as a result or consequence. Here s where our brother makes hs mstake aud takes hs departure from the teachngs of the Scrptures as held and taught by the Mssonary Baptsts. Further, I wll admt that no snner could or would ever repent aud accept Chrst by fath unaded by the Holy Sprt, but God In hs soveregn grace provdeth for ths Inablty (that snners mght be wthout excuse) by sendng the Holy Sprt Into the wold to convct or to reprove the world of su, of rghteousess aud of a judgment to come; or, n other words, to awsken ther dead conscences to a sense of ther gult aud danger, and thus enable them to heed the call to repent and beleve. But s ths regeneraton or the new brth? /» ur I answer uo, not by any means. It s smply the frst step or the enablng act of the Holy Sprt, quafyug them to lake ther choce Itetween lfe and death, whch choce wlh perhspn fx ther destny for all eternty, they alone beng responsble for whatever that may he. G<d Infueuces, but never arbtrarly breaks down or overrdes the human wll. Now the second step of the Holy Sprt whch leads to the new brth or r«geueratlon of a snner h altogether dfferent from the frst, both lu Its effect and desg. The flrat Itads the anuer down wth a sense of gult ud shame, In vew of God's hollnesa and hs volated law, and causes hm to cry out aadld the JaUer at PhUpp, or the multtude on the day of Pen- * tecost, "Men and brethren, what shall we do? " The second work of the Holy Sprt In regeneratng the snner removes the load of gult, glvea hm sense of pardon and flls hssoul wth Joy and gladnesa. Therefore we say wthout beeutlou tlut tbe convcton of a snner by tbe Holy Sprt Is one thng or act and regeneraton or tbe brth of tbe Sprt Is another separate and dstnct thng or act. Tbey cannot be one and l'errue, as ther effmts are dametrcally the «M'Se. 1 w-h to say further that I was pleased wth Bro. Stran.ugVreply to Bro. Grme lu the BAFTIBT AND ItKK.K-nKuf Nov. 80th, aud most heartly concur wth hm lu hs poston. I also agree wth Bro. G. A. Ogle III hlt reply to Bro. Oakley bearng on the same pouu I thuk hs poston s entrely Scrptural and Baptstc; further, that the vews as held and promulgated by Revs. Grme aud Oakley ate calculated to do harm Instead of good, and therefore ought not to appear u our relgous papers. To preach from the pulpt that uuless snnera repent aud telleve they wll be eternally lost, aud at the same tme publsh lu our relgous perodcals that they can do nether untl after God by hs soveregn grace regenerates them. Is not only contradctory, but confuses and confounds the suuer. Our elfort should be to smplfy rather thau to mystfy. I feel qute sure that Bro. Grme attaches consderable mmrtauce to t'he Htera meanng of the Greek word fom whch comes repent or repentance, but Scrptural re >eulauce means more than a reformaton or a tunug away from su. It carres the Idea of a godly wrrow for sn "whch leads to repentance that ueed uot to le repented of." Therefore we conclude from the teachngs of the Scrptures that repentauce and fath are the condtons of salvaton. If so, the queston naturally arses, does God requre condlous whch the snner cannot comply wth under the reprovugsof the Holy Sprt? If so,.then God, and uot the suuer. Is responsble for hs eternal destructon. I remember an old syllogsm to ths effect: "If snners are to be punshed u aun< her world, God must be the puusher or permt It. If God be the puulsber or permts t, the punshment must be Just. If the punshment be just the punshed must be gulty. If the punshed be gulty they could have done otherwse. If they could have done otherwse tbey were free moral agenu. Therefore, If snners are to be punshed In another world they must be free moal agents." Well, Just befuro closng ths artcle here comes Bro. Grme agan In the BArrffr AND RBFLKCTOR of Dec. 21st, replyng to Bro. Stranburg, In whch he makes a large, labored and, I mght say, a learned effort, to show a dstncton between regeneraton and the brth of the Sprt. Accordng to hs own defnton the regenerated snner Is cleansed and renovated, whch, I suphee, Is about e( ulvalent to makng hm a new creature lu Chrst Jesus, and I cannot see that the brth of the Sprt does anythng mora or less. However, I must gve hm the credt of makng a nce dstncton never before dscovered by any of tbe learned theologans In all the past. No. not even by any of our lexcographers. Worcesler, In hs dctonary, defnes regeneraton as a new brth, the brth of grace. Webster says: "Theologcally, regenerauon means bom anew, renovated n heart; changed from a natural-to a splrltural state." These were both learned men, but they were no D.D.'», and therefore dd not, perhaps, trace the word back to the orgnal Greek as dd Bro. Grme, hence ther mlsuke. I must contae that hs metaphyscal dlssertauous, analytcal and crtcal dscrlmuatous, have somewhat confounded me, aud I fear from bs labored effort that be la ramewbat u the brush hmself. Now I do not desre nor propose to enter nto dscusson wllb Bro. Grme on bs subject or any other, for I know he Is not only a scholar, butastrons debater aud a fne logcan. But logcal deducuons. however conclusve, are worth hut lltue unless the premses are correct. But I wrte tu offer my proteat aud to let bm know, notwthstandng nearly U.tbe mlustcrs have taken to the busbee, tb-st the thinknk laymen who read the BAWIOT AND RsFtroroBaw uot n harmony wth hb vews; that they beleve he has gotten nto tbe wrong fold; that he nally belonn to the old CUvInlsUo or Hardshell Baptsts.

Now let US study the Book of Mormon more closely. It s a lttle remarkable that the book of Mormon s not n tbe Book of Mormon at all. The reason of ths, as I have prevously explaned, s that after Smth had dctated 110 pages of the Book of Mormon to Martn Hans, Mre. Harrs got bold of tte manuscrpt and ether destroyed It or would not return t. So Smth decded to leave tbe book of Hcrmou out en- Urely, sayng that If he should translate It agan hs enemes would publsh tla manutcrlpt wth alteratons, to make people Mlleve that be could uot translate It the same way twce. And so the Book of Mormon begns wth the frst book of Nephl. The second vese of tbe book shows t to be a fraud, t reads: "Yea, I make a record In tbe language of my father, whch conssts of the learnng of tbe Jews and tbe language of the Egyptans." The Book of Mormon purports to be wrtten by Jews and to contan the record of the descendants of Jews. But sll It Is wrtten n the yptan language, though It s a well known fact that the Jews have the utmost veneraton for ther own language and the utmost hatred f«r everythng Egyptan, and certanly would hardly have used tle Iyptlan language lu whch to record ther learnng, together wth ther nllous hstory aud prncples. But t Is clamed that It was " Reformed EgyptUn," and that Martn Harrs submtted a paper contanng some of the herogl> phlcs to the dstngushed scholar. Prof. Antbou, and he pronounced bem Reformed Egyptan heroglyphcs. But Prof. Antbon says: "The whole story about my havng pronounced the Mormonte necrptlon to te 'Reformed Egyptan Heroglyphcs' s perfectly false." A paper was submtted to hm, but he says that t "contaned anythng eue but 'Egyptan heroglyphcs.'" These heroglyphch bear on ther ftce evdence of the clumsest fraud. Some of them uo mortal man could decpher. Others t would hardly rtqure the ad of a Urm and Thummlm to read. Take the last several, '* he ought to have added "25" to make the equaton complete. But notce that ths Reformed Egyptan language was the unversal language of the people of ths coutnent when Mormon and Moron compled the Book of Mormou 1,600 years ago. Nephl aud Laman, beng brothers, must have spoken the same language. Toe place where ths Reformed Egyptan language was supposed to have been spoken aud wrtten was Central Amerca and tho Northern part of South Amerca. We have some of the hleoglyphcs of these countres at that perod, taken from dols, tablets, books, etc. They bear no resemblance whatever to those whch Joseph Smth says were n actual use tbere at that tme. Whch was mstaken, Joseph Smth or the records In brass and stone? It Is strange also that there s no record n those countres of any people by the names gven u the Book of Mormon. If people by those names had been so numerous and so powerful there, certanly tbere ought to be some trace of ther names In tle lterature and n the present namee of the country. There are plenty of names, but they are very dffereut from those mentoned n tbe Book of Mormon. And so as to tbe names of ctes and countres. The names preserved n the tradtons of the natves and In au ther wrtngs are utterly unlke those gven u the Book of Mormou. In Palestne and other Bble lands the names of the ctes are preserved very much as gven n the Bble, so that they can readly be Identfed, thus consttutng a powerful testmony to the truthfulness of tbe Bble. But not so wth the names of ctes gven In tbe Book of Mormon. Mot a sngle one of them can oe recognsed n the present namee of ctes In the countres where they ate sad to have exsted. Tbe oonolutlon la Irresstble that there were never any ctes tbere by those names, that they are myths, aud consequently that the Book of Molmon s smply a ronnce, aud as a relgous t>ook Is a pure fraud. There are so many evdences of Its fraudulent character that I cannot undertake to menton them all. I can gve only some of tbe m>bt glarng. It s evdently very human. Its style Is the same all tbe w*y through. It Is heavy, verboee. One of ts sentencee contans over 840 words. In t the words "that" and "whch" are repeated twenty tmes; the words "I," "my" aud "me," eleven thnea; tbe wont "Father," eght tme»; "Gentles," fve tmes; tbe expresaqn, "abal come forth,'j four tlmh. Althlsln oneaentence. And so on every page thea to l»ck of tbeabnplclty autpretaenavenen and pmplmlty Of tlm Bble.

Vm nstatoe It aaf e ttaftt the Nephltw ftoond In the foesta "hoth tm otw and tbe ox, ud the ass and tbe horse, and the goat and wud goat, ud all manner of wud ulmals that were for tbe use of man." In another place It h slated of the Jaredtes that tbey had "all muner of cattle, of oxen and cows, anl of sheep and uf»wtne, and of goats, ud also many other knds of anmals whch were useful for the food of man; and tley had also horses and asses, ud there were elephuta ud curelotm ud cumoms." What tbe latter beasts were t Is mpossble to determne, but scentflo men are unumously agreed that elephuta never exsted on ths contnent, and that horses, assea, oxen, ud swne were Introduced by tbe European settlers wthn the last three hundred years. Had they exsted at the tmes alluded to by the Mormon wrlte, some vestges of them would certanly ere thu have been dscovered. The dea of su'ne beng spoken of by the descendants of Hebrews as "useful fur the food of man" wll strke readers of the Bble wth astonshment. In one place It s sad that "all those who were true belevers In Chrst took upon them the uame of Chrst or Chrstans, as they were called, because of ther belef In Crlst who should come." Ths was a century before the comng of Chlst. The queston s asked 80 years before Chrst: "Haveyebeeu sprtually born of God?" Some of the mracles recorded n the book are most remarkable. Nephl had a compats gven hm by the Lord whch would become balky and refuse to work whenever anythng was done to Iraph, "the Lord's pet." Colored people aro made whte by couverson. Here n the story: And t came to pass that those Lamanlles who had unud wth the Nephtes were numbered among tbe Nephltea, and ther curse was takeu from them, aud ther skn became whte lke unto tbe Nephtes: and ther young men and ther daughters became exceedng far, and tbey were numbered among the Nephtes, and were called Nephtes. Nebuchadnezzar's burnng fery furnace, the Pblppan jal fxperences, the darkness and awful dread of Sna, t he shnng face of Moses, the stll small voce heard by Eljah, and the outpourng of the sprt on the day of Pentecost are all comblued together, aud all of them beaten, n tbe marvelous experences of two preachers, the brothers Nephl aud Lehl, sous of Helaman. Jsred bult uot one ark lke Noah but eght barges, "accodlng to the lustructon of the Lord." But when they were fnshed he found that the Lord had forgotten two mportant matters wth reference to them ventlaton aud lght. The brother of Jaed promptly Informs the Lord of these omssons. He says: And also we shall persh, for In them we cannot breathe, save It Is the ar whch s n them; therefore we shah persh. And the Lord sad unto the brother of Jsred, behold, thou shalt make a bole In the top thereof, and also n the bottom thereof; aud when thou Shalt suffer for ar, thou shalt unstop the hole thereof, and receve ar. And f so t>e that the water come In upon thee, Iwhold ye shall stop tbe bole thereof, that lay uot persh lu the flood. And t came to pass lhat the brother of Jared dd so, accordng as the Lord bad commanded. And t came to pass tbat they were many tmes bured n the depths uf the sea because of the mountan waves whch broke upon them, and also the great aud terrble tempests whch were caused by the ferceness of the wnd. What was the object of te hole n the bottom of the barges and how they got ar to breathe whle the waves were breakng over them aud buryug them lu the sea, so that they would have to stop up the hole In the top, Is not made clear. Agan tbe brother of Jared "cred unto the Lord sayng, O Lord, behold I have done even as thou hast commuded me; and I have prepared the vessels for my people, aud behold there s no lght u them. Behold, O Lord, wlt thou suffer that we shall cross the great water lu darkness?" And the Lord, apparently. Is puzzled to know bow to manage ths matter, ud so he asks advce of the brother of Jared: And the Lord sad unto the brotbar of Jared, what wui ye tbat I should do that ye may have lght n your vessels? For behold, ye cannot have wndows, for they wll be dashed n peces; nether shall ye take fre wth you, for ye shall not go by tbe lght of fre; for behold, ye aball be as a whale n tbe mdst of tbe»ea; for the mountan. wavca sall dash upon von. Nevertheless, I wll btag you up agalu out of the depths of the sea; fot tbe wnds have gone forth out of my moatb, ud also be talus and the floods have I sent fbrtb. And behold, I prepare you aganst thtte thngs; ftwhowbet, ye cannot cnuu ths atatdeep. save 1 pmpara you aganst the waves of tha e-a. aud tba wnd* whlcl luve gone fbrtb, and the floods wdob ahau aun*.

And tbe Lord dd so, and touched tbe stones one by one wth bs flnger, aud tbey became lumnous wth lght, and were placed two n each barge, one at each end. Glass 100 years after tbe flood! In descrbng what took place at tbe tme of tbe death of Chrst tbe Book of Mormon completely ontdoee tbe Bble: "Thck darkness upon all the face of the land. Insomuch that the Inhabtants thereof could feel the vapor of darkness; ud tbere could oe no lght, nether candles, nether torches, nether could there be a fre kndled wth ther fne aud exceedug dry wood." And ths "dd last for tbe space of three days." Meantme, " There was great mournng and howlng aud weepng among al the people contnually... And thus were the bowlngs of tbe people great aud terrble." In the mdst of t all Jesus appeared upon the scene here In Ametca-and spoke u "a voce beard among all the Inhabtants of the earth, upon all the face of the laud," he recounts all the terrble thngs that have occurred, mentons the names of the varous ctes that have been so suddenly blotted out of exsleuce, and tells the reasou why ths terrble vstaton ha«been permtted, because of ther slus. Tbe narratve goes on to say: And t came to pass tbat thus dd tbe three days pass away. And t waa n the mornng, aud the darkness dhappean from off the face of the land, ud the earth dd cease to tremble, ud the rocks dd cease to tend, and the dreadful gtoanlngs dd cease, and all tbe tumultuous noses dd pass away, and the earth dd cleave together agan that t stood, (?) ud the mournng, aud the weepng, and the walng of tbe people Mho were spared alve dd cease; aud ther mournng was turned Into joy, and ther lamentatons Into the pnse and tbaultsgtvlug unto the Lord Jesus Chrkt,. thehr Ikdeemer. Chrst then told the whole multtude to "Arse ud come forth unto me that ye may thrust your buds nto my sde, and also that ye may feel the prnts of the naus n my hands aud n my feet, that ye may know tbat I am the God of Israel, aud the God of the whole eattb, and have been stan for the sns of the world." Then "the muhtude went forth ud dd thrust ther hands nto bs sde, and dd feel the prlutt of the nals n hs hands aud n bs feet; and ths bey dd do, gong forth one by one, untl they bad all gone forth." The multtude lu another place Is sad to have numbered 2,600 soule! Allowng a quarter of a mnute to each person, ths operaton would have taken over ten houts \ WESTERN LETTER.

The audtorum, seatng about l,::oo, has always been consdered entrely too large for the cty, but t s usually crowded at both mornng and evenng servces. Durng the nterm between the pastorate of Dr. Oarrett and that of Mr. Brougher, tbe churcb bad become somewhat dsorganzed and the work was at a standstll. Mr. Brougher came here wltb the reputaton of beng an "expert organzer," and he mmedately began work. One of the llrst thngs ntroduced was tbe ssulug of a neat lttle paper each week, called "Tbe Kng's Busness," contanng a pcture of the cbureb, a lst of tbe aervces for tbe week and tbe names of the churcb ofllrers. A very pleasng "Order of Servce" baa been arranged for both mocnng and evenng worshp, whch s also announced n ths paper. About t baa been spent lu mprovements, among otber tbngs beng the enlargement of the pulpt platform for tbe accommodaton of a large chorus chor wblob has been organzed, and Is consdered tbe Uneat In tbe cty. A canvass of the membershp was made by the deacons, whch resulted n a aubscrptou toward cburob ezpenaes double tbe amount formerly rased. AD after meetng s held regularly at tbe oloea of the Sunday evenng aervce and much nterest baa been manfested, eepeolaly among young men; Tbee are baptama nearly every unday, about 70 peraon havng unted wth tbe oburob snce Mr. Broughtr oame. r The Baoday-aobool u one t f tbe beat lu tbe State and la thoroughly organ and equpped lot work. Netv Qtenwt and growth la seen here also, there hav> log been an luofeaae of about 100 In the attendanoe. A Bnnd*y«Mhool mlaalonay baa been aeoned and a JUratavkUo oanvww of tbe cty btgnn wth the lntau> ton of securng the attendance of all Baptste and nonchurch-goers lvng n the vcnty of the chnroh. A Home Department has recently been organzed wth nearly 100 members. ' Th«prayer meetngs have doubled n sze and are growng constantly n numbers and nterest. Large numbers of both men and women are takng part n them and a marked sprtual growth s notceable. At the close of the prayer meetng, the pastor conducts a 'Personal Work Class" for the development of workers for the after meetngs. A Baptst Young People's Unon has been organzed and has taken up- the Chstan Culture Courses as lad out n the Baptst Unon. A Junor Unon wll also be formed lu the near future. The men have been orgauzedlnto a "Men's League" and have undertaken a very extensve work f<)r men. The League gves promse of beng one of the most etrectlve organzatons of the church and the men are greatly nteresteu n ths new wo k. Chattanooga s the headquarters of Mormonsm n the South, and Mr. Brougher, who always beleves n applyng the gospel to the needs ff the feople about hm, has preached several stroug sermons on ths subject. Dr. Folk has also been here and delvered a lecture on ths Hul'ject. At frst tle Mormons attempted to answer hs arguments, but tbe errors of ther socalled relgon have been so planly shown that they have takeu refuge In slence. Ueports of the success of the work at the Frst Church have spread thmuglout the State, untl now the pastor Is n great demand f r addresses at mlhsouary conferences and ot her gatherngs. The methods of work whch have t)een Introduced are many of them new In ths part of the country, but the people are takng hold enthusastcally and the steady growth and development of tbe church promses to make It one of the foremot In the South. E. M. H. ChattaLooga, Tenn. WASHINGTON CITY. In my last I wanted to say "led the devotons" nstead of "led the doclrncs." Well, I am Just back from the llrst show I have attended for years. I saw, talked and shook bands wth Major (Jantz, born at Falrlleld, Iowa, eghteen Inches tall, thrty pounds n weght and thrty-four years of age. He s a very ntellgent and pleasant gentleman. I also saw Mes Jones lly atwut n the room for about ten mnutes. The propretor clams ths phenomenon s due to hypnotsm. She danced, assumed the atttude of payer, arose or descended as the operator suggested. I was present when the vote was taken by the House Thursday on the Robbns-Aldrlcb contest case. I saw Mn Aldrch receve the oath of olloe. Although he comes from Alabama, be Is a Republcan. I also heard Mr. Mahan of Pennsylvana attack Mr. Tallert on bs bold stand for a quorum when penson legslaton s passed. 1 have never heard harsher language than each of these gentlemen engaged In -dsgraceful to ther hgh staton. Speaker Henderson threatened Mr. Talbert wth tbe Sergeant-at-arms. It would seem that he s rght In demandng a legal quorum, and yet he has made hmself qute unpopular by bs unyeldng atttude. He seems to lack tact and prudence. So the House seemed drven to the necessty of consderng pensons durng tbe day s 6ons cstead of attendng to ths busness on each Frday nght, as formerly. 7 he second and fourth Frday afternoons are now desgnated for the prvate calendar. Nnety-seven penson blls were passed yesterday, the frst cemon devoted tolhls busness. The House frst went nto Comnlttee of the Whole to consder these penson blls. I was present when tbe Commttee arose and reported to the House. After Speaker HendesDU resumed the char, I decded I would keep tbe tally and see how many they could put through In fve mnutes. The frst fve mnutes I counted seventeen blls; the second fve, twenty-one. Nobody, except the Speaker and Clerk, seemed to be gvng much attenton. Tbe Speaker, as fast as be could talk, sad, "All n favor of the bll say aye," and then wthout any pause, "All who are opposed wll say no," and then he announced promptly, "Tbe ayes have t and the bll s past." It was purely formal. I beard nobody vote ether aye or no. It was a bard Job for tbe Speaker; he wped the perspraton from bs face frequently, but he d-patobed tbe nlnety-aeven blla lu a few muutes. Ae to tbe met of tbe blls, I know nothng. Tbe procedure lu tbe Commttee of the Wboe was about tbe clam. I wsh tbe Conron and Newman clam mght have come up when tbey were lu such good way to dlapatcb buslneae.

Now no one could put the doctrne of pra regeneraton stronger than J. R. Uravee put4 It In the above, and I trust no one hereafter wll do hm tha Injuatlce to call It In quaatlon.

Matt. zxl Ths parable of the dutful and undutful eon* Is gven toenforcetheduty of obedence. It represents two k nds or classes of people. One class promse better than they prove, aud the other prove better than they promse. Each one of us belong to one of these classes. It may be well to examne ourselves. I. Obedence s glorous because It s Cbrstllke. He waa obedent to every clam of rlghteousneaaas seen at hs baptsm. (Mat. III. 15). He came not to do Hs own wll but Hs Father's wll. (Jno. V. 8; vl..h8). He was obedent n all thngs, even unto death. (Phl ). II. Obedence Is glorous because t brngs knowledge. It s through obedence that God has promsed to gve knowledge of doct'lue. (Jno. vll. 17). Then our knowledge must come very largely In our actve lfe. They that do lttle wll be lttle and know lttle. III. Obedence Is glorous because It brngs happneta. In the aervlce that He wanted Hs followers to render unto each other He sad: "If ye know (there s knowledge) these thngs happy ae ye f ye do them." (Jno. xl. 17). Who s not glad when they obey the Lord? IV. Obedence la glorous because t gvee testmony. Chrst sad: " Ye are my frends f ye do whatsoever I command you." (Jno. XV. 14). Then agan Jeeus sad: " If a man love me he wll keep my words, and my Father wll love hm." (Jno. xlv. 28). God'e love has been proven to us by what He has done and we are to wltnees of our love to Hm by our obcdence to Hm. BUoaKsnoNS. 1. Obedence to Chrst Is productve of happlnera. 2. True love must prompt loyal obedence. 8. True obedence wll care for the lttle thlnga. 4. Obey God through duty and t wll become a delght. 5. If we Intend to obey we do not mnd to promse. 6. True obedence queatlona no command of the Lord. 7. Dutful chldren wll seek to know ther duty. 8. Obedence la a neceealty to Chrstan fnt-bearng. 9. Do wa tly to prove true to our own promlaa to God? 10. The proof of promlae la the payng of the pledge. Mlaalon Topc for March, COLORKO PBOPUE.

The crowds were large, weather bad. Rev. Pulllas led the lrst two days, afurmhg that "the ohuroh of God of whch I, C. M. Pulllas, am a member s apostolc In doctrne and practce." Hs eltjrt at argument was the weakest I ever heard. He made practcally the same speech for two days and ths one touched not hs church or Its doctrlnb. He defned "church of God" as "God's famly." I asked hm n every speech f Gods famly conssted of any body exccpt persons who had been mmersed n order to the remsson of sns. The confased gentleman never mustered enough courage to answer the queetlon. I also asked bm f God had a famly before tbe day of Pentecoet. At ths pont he made some of the most absu flounders a hemmed up fghter ever made. He Ually admtted that God had a famly before Pettecost, but quotm Heb. 9, and sad God "took the frst out of the way nalng t to the cross" that he mght eetabllshtbe eecond. I never knew before that God naled ha famly to tbecnwb. But Buch s Pulaslsm! Thla abturd poatou led theconfused gentleman to repudate the dscplea of Chrst before the day of Pentecost as unworthy to'be n the church of whch le Is a member. He defantly asked me f the Baptst ohuroh of whch I am a member would receve such materal aa were the dsolplm of Chrlat before the day of Penteooat. - I answered moat assuredly jftt, and ; ofltendthafolowlog raaaoua: Chrst, m«ubar of any aeot.''

To ths Pulllas only repled that tbey were unbelevers and unft to te In a church wltb hm. I asked hm how God started hs second famly after kllnr Hs frst famly on the crors. He repled that Adam was created, then people were bom nto the human race. To start a new famly the church God sent the apostles nto the famly on Pentecost, after whch people were burn of water nto t. 1 asked blm for Scrptural proof. He remaned as dumb as an oyster. Pulllas afrmed that the church was organzed or t-et up on the day of Pentecost. I told hm f he would read sucl a statement n God's Word I would surrender the whole queston. He faled to read t. He made a mserable falure. He sad : " If Oakley wll show that the kngdom of God was set up before Pentecost I'll gve hm astckof cnndy." I quoted: "The law and the prophets were untl John. 8lnce that tme the kngdom uf God Is preached and every man preaseth nto t" Luke 16:15. I walked down and demanded the candy. He ddn't have t. He stll owes t. Tlte gentleman sad there was but one "church of God." I asked hm what Paul meant In 1 Thes. 2:14 and 2 Thes. 1:4, where he speaks of "churches of God." He sad the church of God n a local reuse conssts of all tbe Chrstana n a c6mmunlty. I asked bm f the "ohuroh of God " at Lebanon conssted of anytxhly except "thoee Immersed n order to remsson of sns." Dumb as an oyster. I asked bm f there were any Chrstans n Lebanon except those dpped n otler to remlklon. No answer. Tbe confused geutemnn argued that a man could uot belong to a local church only where be was. That x, f an elder of tbe church at Bethel should go to Lebanon on busness be ceased to be a memlerof Bethel church. When he left at ) o'clock aud when sad elder reached Lebanon at 10 o'clock be was an,elder lu the church of God at Lebanon, aud when he Ivft Lebanon at 8 o'cock he ceased to be a member of the church of God at Lebanon and became a member of the church of God at Betel at 4 p. m. when be got back. Ho sad a man could not IH) K member of the church of God anywhere only where the man was. He sad there was a local church of God wherever there was a CbrlHtan. As there are only two members of Pulllas' sect at Henderran's X Roads, I asked hm If there was a church of God at Henderson's X Roads. If HO, what was It aud who were In t. He stood speetblese. I also asked m f these two perrans cousttnted a church of God at Hender- Bon's X Roads If, when they went to Lebanon, there ceased to be a church here whle gone, aud f they became memlers of the church of God at Lebanon when tbey got tbere, aud If, when tbey started back, aohurohof God came out of tbe church of God at Lebanon and lt at Hendervon's X Roads at nnudown, he was as dumb a«death.

The frst place I vsted after breakfast was the UNITKD HTATet» MIXT. Ths was begun In 1853 and fnshed n It s the largest mnt n the world. It could con n. one d all tho gold taken from all the mnes n tho * world n three days. As Calforna s the " Golden State," It s used especally for the conage of gold. Last year t coned ao,0(h).oou worth of gold and 16,000,000 worth of slver. It has $50,000,000 In slver never' crculaton.

The largest sngle depost was *a,ouo,- jopup; Oo'e gold brck s worth'920,000 ; 900 per cet'&r It't gold and 100 per cent, s copper.

Out of these 20 gold peces are cut. Two hundred $2(1 peces can be cut a mnute, nalfng $t,0(t0 a mnute. That s makng money pretty fast, sn't It? Ea«rh pece, after be. Ing cut, s weghed. If t weghs less than 61U grans t s thrown asde. If more, It Is fled down. Tho peces are then Btam )ed. Each machne can stamp half a mllon a day. It seemed a pty to be around where money was so plentful and to have so lttle of t. But f anyone should attempt to curry off any fnn tho mnt as of courst! no reader of the Batst and UKK.E-ro would do ho would Im) met at the door by the armed guards and woh1<1 have to gve up ether hs money or hs lfe.

The contrast s so strkng as to make the argument Irrefutable. It s a practcal llustraton of the power of the gos)el to reform and uplft and ennoble tho»<e wth whom It comes n contact. In the afternoon I vsted the famous <;OLI>EN <lark P.\KK. It was H brght, leautful sunshny day. On the car us I went out a young (gentleman wth whom I got to talkng complanerl of thf weather. He sad there was too much j>retty weather n Calforna to sut hm, that he had been accustotued to a change of weather some tmes. He was from Chcago. I know the»of!t says: "And sprng would be but gloomy weather If we had nothng elee but eprlog." But I doubt t. At any rate, I should l)e wllng to take the knd of weather we had that afternoon 31)5 days In the year, and I do not thnk that 1 would complan. When I told the young gentle, man that I was gong to the Golden Gate Park ho asked me why I dd not wat and go Sunday It was then Saturday afternoon. He sad everybody went out on Sunday. But I kept on. When I reached the gate of the park I dscarded my transfer to a car whch would carry me through the park, refused the numerous offers of carrages (at about an hour) and, actng upon prevous advce, I hred a bcycle for the afternoon and rodo through the park on that. Reader, can you rde a bcycle? If so, and you ever go to San Francsco, be sure to go through the Golden Gate Park on a bcycle. If you can't rde one, you had better learn before gong. It s by far the best way to see It. In the frst place, you can go so much faster, and so can explore a good many roads and paths that you could not gu on f you were In a streetcar or n a carrage or on foot, and In ths way can see so much more of the park. In the second place, there s a path through the park made especally for bcycles whch s sad to bo the fnest bcycle road n the world. It runs through the prettest part of the park, Is kept smooth as a foor and s fnely graded. To glde along through the park on a beaatful sprnglke wnter's day, wth the 9un shnng brght, the grass green, the flowers bloomng, the brds sngng n the branches of the trees, and wth enough ozone n tho atmosphere to be stmulatng t was glorous. It lacked only one thng of perftct happness a congenal companon. The Golden Gate Park s about four mles long and shout a mle wde. Its wndng roads, ts hlls and dells, tu treew. Its shrubs, Its grass, ts flowers, ts monuments make t a place of surpassng beauty. It s comparatvely new, and s not completed all the way. But when completed t wll probably bo the most magnlflcent park n tho country. Among the monunents Is one n honor of Francs Scott Key, the author of the Star Spangled Banner, whch was erected n m87 and presented to the cty of San Francsco by Jas. Lck. Another s the Garfeld monument, erected, the nscrpton says, by tho offerngs of a grateful I>eople." It represents Columba n mournng. Seeng a tall wooden crostt on an elevaton I asked a workman n the park what t meant. He sad that It was a monument to Sr Charles Drake. "I>o you mean Sr Francs Drake?" I asked. Yes," he sad, that's tho man." It s clamed that San Francsco Bay was frst dscovered by Sr Francs Drake. Ths clam, however, s dsputed by [>eople lvng further down the coast, who clam that what they have named Drake's Bay s the only bay ducovered by hm. I am sorry I am not able to settle the controversy. Edoak E. Folk. " AV METHODISM IN A CRISIS f " The IMt/om Herald has an edtoral wth the above headng. It copes the followng remarks n tle Itvlntnl Tun by a leallng Methodst: The menl>erhblp of the Methudlst church has lttle to du wth the government of the church. The pastor Is au autocrat In hs own congregaton. He numnateb the members of the Board of Btewardn, whch Ih the ottlclal l>ody of the church, and ths body may perpetuate teelf, wth the ad of the pahtur, by re-electng Its own memben from year to year. The congrexatlo has nothng to do wth It. No Methodst Sunday-Echool can elect Its own superntendent. The ndvdual churches are controlled by the Dstrct Conference, the DlBtrot Confereuce «controlled by the Annual Conference, the Anuual Conference s controlled by the General Conference, and In most thngs the bshop's word s law. ITuder the lawn of the Methodst church, no congregaton has anythng to do wth tte selecton of Its pastor, and every pastor s subject to the acton of the bshop. The bhhop, who preslae* over the Annual Confertuce, has the authorty to assgn the pastors, so that every pastor must go whthersoever he s sent, and every church must accept the pastor desgned by the bbhop, whether or not the pastor be acceptable. The bshop may, even aft«r the general appontments have been made, pck up a preacher and transfer hm from one church to another, and nether the preacher nor the congregaton from whch he Is trausfered has any voce whatever n the matter. Dr. S. A. Steel, formerly pastor of McKendree Church, ths cty, whose ndependence of sprt and utterance causet hs retrement from the edtorshp of the ICprorth Era, and who s now pastor of a promnent church n Rlchmord, In a publshed ntervew favors the plan of scmlng commttees from the churches to tho bshop askng for certan mnsters. Dr. Steel thlnk.s a ' botly of ntellgent laymen know what Is needed n ther church letter than the presdng elder, who comch among them only four tmes a year, or tho bshop, who probably never comes at all." Ilesays, moreover, that ths nnovaton hw l)eeome necoasary, n vew of the olulcal manpulatons at an Annual Conference." Dr. Steel adds much more of the same sort, and thus speak out n meetng: "I know I am wrtng unwelcome truths; but one thng Is certan untl the preachers cease wrepullng, the laymen wll be oblged to get tho ear ofhbe bshop drect." Somebody havng suggested that, f the custom of sendng up commttees to ask for the appontment of specal preachers s establshed, "a great many would bo put at serous dsadvantage, because no church wll ask for them," Dr. Steel responds that ths objecton s one of the strongest reasons n favor of the custom." We are carryng," he says, a great deal of dead tmber n the Methodst mnstry preachers who never would get a call.'" Fnally, the dstngushed Methodst says: Heretofore we have been able to vndcate our economy because of the superor success that crowned our labors. Ths argument no longer avals, for we have been losng, nstead of mldng, ground.'* «Mr. John P. Branch, a promnent Methodst layman ofblchmond, thln'ks the custom of sendng these delegatons to the Conference Is wholly mlaohevoua. He seems to long for the ol days,, e aaya: ''Away back numy years ago> when the dlflbrenl MeUodst preaohen were shlacd bom ptaoe to ptace every three nonh, and when tbcy got only joo salary a year, and $200 when they were marred, delegatons and commttees were unknown." Speakng fkrther of these delegatons, Mr. Branch says: - "Very often these delegatons succeed, andt the man they want. Sometmes other delegatons have more nfluence and make stronger representatons to the bshop,... and then there s almost a perfect scramble for certan men." Mr. Branch further stated that n the last Conference at Petersburg there were delegatons present from Rchmond, Petersburg, Lynchburg, Norfolk, and other ctes, and that there was regular lobbyng gong on In regan to theappolntmenta. We gve these remarks as matters of nterest to our people. Evdently there Is much dssatsfacton n Methodst crcles both among the mnstry and the laymen. The trutl s that the great Iron wheel n Its revolutons s too grndng to sut the sprt of a free and proud )eople. Just what wll bo the result we cannot tell. We shall watch wth Interest to see. THE SALOONS AND PHILIPPINE ISLANDS In a recent artcle publshed n Frank Lcxe's Weekley Mr. H. Irvng Hancock says: Almost by the tme the Amercan solder had stacked arms u the cty a score of Amercan saloons were opened. Swftly other scores were added to them. The number grewjtnd grew. At the outbreak of the nsurrecton there were hundreds of Amercan saloous In Manla. There not beng at that tme enough Amercan cvlans so dsposed, to take up all the l. causes, nattves were debauched nto the tnlllc. Hpanlards engaged In the trafllc, perhaps wth au Ironc purpose of hastenug the corrupton of both Amercan and Flpuo. To day there s no thoroughfare of length In Manla that has not Its long lne of saloons. The street cars carry flauntng advertsements of ths brand of whsky and that brew of beer. The local papers derve ther man revenue from the dsplayed advertlaementh of frms and companes eager for ther share of Manla's drnk money. The cay pre«ent8 to the new comer a saturnala of alcoholsm. And yet remember we are sendng Amercans over to the I'hppne Islands to cvlze and Chrlbtanr.c the poor Flpnos. They may well ask f Amerca s tself a Chrstan naton. Certanly the saloons are no evdence ef Chrstanty.. QUESTION nox. Vmck. Has a deacon the rght to resgn hlsdeaconsbp? Pleat-e answer through the columns of the Baptst AND Rkpkkctok for nformaton.

J»J»> The ChrMan Index states that one day last we?k there were lualed from the Home Mselou rooms IS,- 273 sealed letters.

It means hard work to rghtly manage the aflab of a mseon board. We wonder ow many answers Dr. Kerfoot wll get to those lettera. We shall be glad to have hm Inform us after he has had sutllcleut tme to hear from all of them. Referrlog to the recent letter of Chaplan F. M. Wells Iu the Ba>t6T and Reflector concernng the saloons of Manla and the open e«le of whskey on Unted States transports, the Watchman says: " The trouble wth ths matter, as wth the case of the army canteen, s that the lquor rng Is too powerful a factor n poltcs to be Interfered wth." Does the Watchman mean to say that the lquor rng domnates Cougrets and domnates the Secretary of War and even domnates the Presdent othhe Unted States? If so, ths s certauly a very serous charge, and It s tme for the Amercan people to awake to a realzatou of the stuaton. At the Taberuace n ths cty Inst Sunday afternoon Rev. George Stewart delvered a powerful temperance sermon, Whch was receved by the large audence wth the gteate«t enthublasm. The whskey meu care uothng about that, however, so long as those same people wll vote for ther canddates for oflce. The only thug that wll dsturb ther dreams wll be when the Chrstlau people who ara opposed to saloons wll resolve that they wll vote for no man for any ofce who s known to be u sympathy wth the saloons or who, tf elected, wll vote to lcense them and so contnue ther nefarous busuees. When Chrstan people do that then the saloon men wll tremble and then the saloon wll totter and fall. J»J»J» Weladavery pleawnt vst to Tullahoma last. Sunday, where we preached for Pastor H. L.

But we dd say that tbey "exercsed all tbe functons of a ohurob, such m preachng, laptlsng, celebratng the Lord's Supper." The preachng and baptzng were doe long before bs death, but of course not tbe celebratng of the supper. We hope that we have nade tha clear even to so byperorltoal a crtc as Bro. Hoss.

Accdent as a Factor of Progress. Kvcry?chooI-boy s famlar wth the orgn of the prntng press, that jont product of love and chance; he al-fo knows of the accdental vews of the dutant church-steeple through the eectacle lenses by the watchmaker's apprentce whch gave brth to the telescope, and of that fateful moment when the youthful Galleo saw the chnndellor swngng to and fro n the cathedral at Psa whch dated the begnnng of the dscovery of the law of oscllaton and tnally Ud to the constructon of the pendulum. But all are not so famlar wth some other qute as nterestng clrcumstancea of seemngly a purely accldentul nature whch marked epochs In the march of progress and led to most Important results. Take, for example, the dscovery of the Qlott steel pen. Joseph Glllott was a Jeweler, and In ha work one day bad the mlafortune to splt one of hs fne steel tools. He was asked hurredly to sgn a recept, and not fndng a pen handy he used the splt tool as a sul)sttute. Ths K'd to the Idea of n.aklng pens of metal. Or, agan, the ncdent whch led to the perfecton of the Howe sewng machne. Ellas Howe, so the story runs, was at a stand-stll to know wbete the eye of the needle of the new machne should be locatcd. Hs frst dea was to have thn eye of the needle at the heel. He was so perplexed wth the problem that he dreamed. He thought he was buldng a sewng machne for a savage kng n a strange country, and that the kng In hs great baste had gven hm Just twenty-four hours to complete the machne and make t work, or be ezecated. Howe faled and was taken out to le executed. He notced hs guard carred spears perced at the head. Wth ths observaton the soluton of hs dffculty cane, and In the exctement of the moment he awoke. It was fur o'clock n the mornng, bat he Immedately arose, went to hs shop and by nne o'clock bad nqde a needle wth the eye at the pont Inatead of at the heel. ' Thtu by the aoddent of a dtwm was perfected the fl wwlng machne. A reputable physlcun once tohl us that all the anaesthutc.s, exc-pt jwrhap8, chloroform, were dl.ooven t by the merest accdent. Cocane, he sad, was revealed as an anaesthetc by a medcal student nadvertently gettng t In hs eye, whch renderet the eye nsensble to pan. Sck anmuls n Peru were observed to gnaw tho bark of a certan tree. Men tred the same remedy wth benefcal results, and so < ulnne was ylven to the world us a (pcfc for malaral {toson. The art of lthography had ts suggeston through a remarkable combnaton of accdental crcumstances. A man entered hs apartment one evenng wth three thngs n hs hand, a polshed whetstone, a tcket stamp and a check for salary. He placed the check upon the table. A gust of wnd through an open wndow, swept the check hgh up In hs room and then dewslted It n a basn flled wth water. The check was rescued and the wet paper partally dred. He then placed t upon hs table and wejjhcd t down wth the whetstone, whch only a lttle before had come In contact wth the tcket stamp. The next mornng he was astonshed at seeng the letters of the stamp prnted wth remarkable accuracy upon the damned pawr. From ths suggeston was erfecled the lthographc art. Some of us mght be dsposed to regard these thngs, and such as these, provdences rather than accdents. By whatever name calltd t certanly has played a most mportant part n the drama of the world's progress. MeMmlst Recorder. Trflng Wth Danger.

He cnmes wth the summer breezes as amd the wnter's moan. He turns our songs nto sghng; our smles he changes to teas, Aud, yet, 'ts an angel's meesage hs summons often mrs. For God has a way of dealng wth chldren hs love has sent; He gves-and He takes-the darlngs, that only to ns ate lent Lent f r a tme to make better ad purer these hearta cf our»: Then taken from earth to Hraven to bloom as Immortal flowers. It was thus our players were answend. when tha cbld was called lu love, Calltd from earth apd Its temptatons to tue Father's home above. For we pra>ed besde the darlng at the clone of each brght day: "Keep her, Jesus, Tender Shepherd: lead her gently al the way." And, so, whue our hands were busy lu fttng a robe of whte. Angels already had fotshoued a garment of fadeless lght: Whle we were placng a llower far the sweet, dead chld to wear, They had gemmed a crown wth j-'wtls to tt on her dark brown nar.

Wb Mketb Into the Mrltet law of lberty andcontlnuethjhe belong not a forjratu tearvr, but doer of tbe work, ths man aball be bleued In ha deed.-( fames I SS.) Man's greatest need for hmself, for othera, fo God, Is lberty-lberty tbat secures for hm tbe hghest and noblest employment cf bs beng. Hs goal Is perfecton even aa God Is perfect. That goal may be n tbe far dstance and reached only In a long, long perod of tme, bat tbe goal Is sure for every man who strves for It. I shall be satsfed when I awake n Hs llkeneb " "Changed from glory to glory as by the Bplrt of the Lord." " 1 count all thngs but loss f 'r tbe excellency of tbe knowledge of Chrst Jesus my Lord for whom I have suftered the loss cf all thngs that I may wn Chrt." Lberty la not to act as one pleases, but to do as hs hghest Interest demands. Ths hghest nterest has Its law It's tbe pel feet law of lberty. Ths law s reason and has lu source, essence and expresson In Jesus Chrst, for He Is tbe Reason and the only revealed embodment of t. He hmself s perfecton. All Hs Rqnltementa are the demanda of reason, or what s tbe same thng, the reasonable. Then If any would attan to tbe goal, be must look Into ha lfe and become lke It n nature, and carry ont Its neceasary demands. "The* law of tbe Bplrt of lfe n Cbrst Jesus bath made me free from tbe law of sn and There, hence, stands over aganst man's lberty ha slavery In sn. Jesus must break off man'a chans.

It la at ths pont a glorous career ought to begn: "Bengmade free fhm sn yon lmea aervant of rlghteonsnesa and the end everlwtlng lfe." Jeras was the death of sn bo Ha death on lheoroes,and whoso tmstlngly looketh nto that tragedy on Gol* gotha sees hs slna naled to the tree wth Chrst. "I am cmclfled wth Cluat, nevertheless I lva." " The lfe that I now lve, Uv* by the fallh of the Bon of God who loved ma and gave hmaalf far me."
