O Kor<l, tlie starry heaven; From Theo the blessed light doth shine, Hy Thee the soft, sweet air ia given ; And dear are'all the eoranion things That tell of love from d»y to day— Tho bud that blooms, tho bird that sings, ' And tender faces round my w ay.. . 'Tis not that any gift from Theo la less than perioct, that I prize The comforts of Thy grace to mo Abovo tho sights of earth and skies. Thyself, supreme, otorual God, Art inoro than all Thy works disclose, O iJimb of (lod ! Thy sacred blood To me love’s deepest .weret shows. From mortal Ills I am not free, . Nor have 1 walked an easy road; Yet every ptop wns dear to me,• Slue© by tho Man o f Sorrow trod. Through all my dark lm« shone Thy face Thy iieaeo has Down boneath my pain, Stumbling, 1 foil in thy embrace, My loss by Thee was turned to gain. ; , And I might tell o f hours apart. In lonely path and secret placo, When burned nnd glowed within my heart Tho wondrous meanings of Thy grace; Enough that Thou did’st there abide And break the bread, and call me friend: Thy comfort, O thou Crucllled, Refresh mo to my Journey's end. . No wonder that my weary feet Grows strong lu sight of Calvary; That all Thy gltts aro passing sweot, Embalmed in lovo so great and free. . Thy perfect beauty dawns more dear, As nearer to Thy cross I com o; In Theo my life is only clear. Thyself, O Chrelt, Is heaven and homo, y.Um't Ilavhh Concerning Taste- FROM DR. WATSON S “ WHITE ROHES. There is a deep meaning in tbe old Methodist interrogation, “ Do you enjoy religion 7" It means a great deal more than being a ohurch-member, or being a Christian in tho ordinary sense of that term. It suggests a state in which re- ligion haa becomo a seraphic passion in tbe heart, that the atream of grace has so swollen and filled the channel of th e soul, that its onward rolling tide is a luxury. One of the blessings attached to a pure heart is that the vitiated tastes of tbe soul aro eo corrected that she servico of God becomes our highest, keenest, eweoteat joy, and Divine things have a perpetually increasing charm to our tastes; Some one has triilingly said that this thing of religion iB a mere matter of taste.” Very truo; but thia thing of taste lies at the root and centre of every moral being in existence. As tho taste of dur mouth deoidea what kind of food is eaten, eo the inner taste of the heart decides the moral pabulum on which tbe soul feeds, it is impoaai ble to deeply enjoy that for whioll we halve not a keen relish, so that to serve God joyously wc must serve Him in agreement with the keenest tastes of heart and mind. Diseased organs will impair the taste, and all moral diseases must bo washed away from the soul in order to render the spiritual taste strong, united and heavenly. When the heart is in a rrtix- ed moral etato, grace and depravity war ring against each other in the soul, then there is' a division in the tastes of the mind The voice of conscience and the proclivities of taste are often opposed to each other. In Buch a state we have eome taste for worldly things, for world- !y emoluments, litorature, honors, eto., and yet woul<i feel shocked to go to tho full length of Biunera; and on theottier hand wo have a taste for religion, its pursuits and future glories, but our taste is not sufficiently strong to make us yield ourselves completely and en thusiastically to tho pursuit of holiness. How many thousands of Christians, both proaohera.and peoplo, are living along this miserable lino of moral m ix aurea; they would feel diBgraceii to go bo far as sinners in earthly thingB, and (shall I say it?) they would feel nearly as equally disgraced to go as fur as tho entirely sunotifiod in tbs triumphant zeal for heavenly things. You have a taste for eloquent preaching, of a gen era! character, but you can. not endure tho full-orbed blaze of definite holiness preaching. You havo some taste for a quiet, orderly, indefinite, prayor-meet- ing, but your diseased moral appetite is disgusted with the penteccBtal fire and glory of a holiness prayer-meeting, You bavo a taato for a little religioua conversation, bnt you fairly nauseate a scriptural testimony to full salvation. What you need is a perfeotly. healthy religious taste, so that you can relish the deep things of the Spirit, and relish ; them all in time. When the will is .meetly united to God, and the heart made pure, it puts an ond to this disa- greeable divieion of soul tastes. Tbe appetite for liquor and tobacco, in any form, is utterly oxtirpated. The secret Honoring taeto for jewelry, gaudy dress, light literature, gay society and earthly amusements, is utterly washed away; bo much so that they are disgusting to' the. pure soul. On tho other hand, everything in the service of God be- comes a peronnial joy. The tasted of the intellect, the perceptions of reason, tho dictates of conscience, the choices of will, and tho appetite of the heart, flow like a crystal stream towards the heavenly and Divine. Now that the sanctifying Spirit has cured the moral palate, how it feeds on the pure word and prayer! The Sabbath, the Church, the holy hymns, tha gathering of God’s people, are all filled with a supernatiis- al charm,. Then everything is beauti- ful only in so far as it gives the soul gleamiB.of its precious Lord, and all tho B'l-calied.fine things of earth grow un- lovely that lack the mark of the Lamb. Jn holiness, the aeriea of religious duties are •transformed into a series of relig- ious delights. The. old duties aro per- formed with a new and delicious zest. Ah, here ia the only panacea for all the vitiated taatea tha: corrupt <md blind the Churoh. This is not all. When our tastes aro thoroughly cleansed and renewed by tlio Spirit, they are far more intenae toward Divine .things than they ever were toward earthly things. Nothing is normal in the soul until it is brought in! union with G od; hence when bur taste ia restored to the pure taste of God, it acts with an energy and zest surpass- ing ite former relish for Bin. A 'real sainl has ah intense taste for heaven and holiness, greater than any' sinner lias for things of earth. It is only as our faculties sra brought in blissful tmion with Jesus .that the;/ act up , to their maximum of strength. The heart whioh haa ,become tha habitation of tbo Saiietifier,. will often have a sweetly dis- tressing thirst for.God; and a taste for Infinite Love, that is utterly mexpre'aa ibio and exceeding any airiner’Bcraving for evil things. W ho will believe these things, s,nd then who will prove their reality ? These seraphic ardors can be raised only upon the utter spoliation of our earthly and aemi-oarthly tastes. It is God’s plan to appii s;s for this world, that He may fit us for heaven. Only a question of taste veniy I yet heaven arid liell revolve on that pivot of taste. The vulture and the dove are divided only by their t a s t e s o are demons and ser- aphs. . When all the tastes are perfect, ly holy, the aoul will bo spoiled for all worlds except heaven, into which it will appropriately and inevitably gravitate. Sormoms by the Sea. 8A1WATH, NOVEMBER 18.—A CHARMING DAY— DR. WYTHE’S MORNING 8EKM0N— JOB AND H13RKDKE.MKK— HOPE FOR HU MANITY— SALVATION : FROM SIN, AND VICTORY AT LAST. Cloudless, balmy, beautiful, was the morning—a typical Sabbath day. The great air organ., that told of the coming of-Winter,- had hushed its pealing an- them j the gentle zephyr whispering ■ of the sunny south from whence it came; the restless, sad-voicod billows, fell with low murmur on the shore; airy voy- agers on silent wing oirclod abovo the ocean’s heaving bosom, which reileeted the brilliant hue bf the peaceful heav- ens; the earth was robed in sunshine, and all the air a solemn stillness held. A congregation of a million might wor- ship in this magnificent cathedral, with its blue overarching dome. On such a day a goodly company wended their way to 8 t, Paul’s Ohurch, doubtless with thankful hearts attuned to the harmonies around them. , Dr. Wytho took for his text Job 19:25 "For I know that my Redeemer liveth and that He shollstatid at tbe latter day upon the earth.” He said that some supposed the book of Job to bo a poem or a drama, but whether so or nutut was a realistic book; the history of a suffer- ing man, with troubles and doubts auch as we have. His comforter, were .the same sort of religionists as may be Beed to-day full of current maxims. Orthodox liars for God thoy were, but in the char- acter of Job is exemplified the strongest faith. The toxt does not mean to teach the second coming of Christ or the doctrine of tlio resurroction, the preacher thought, and if tho italics which the translators havo supplied are eliminated from it, and its connections, thiB state- ment will be mors apparent. Job was an Arab Ameer. He believed in the superintendence of God over the affairs of men, and in relatives avenging tho wrongs; of their kindred; hence ho de- clares to ilia pauedo comforters, “ I know that my Redeemer (avenger) liveth, and will one day vindicate tho right,.’’ This was tho moat ancient an- swer to the problem, what is the ond of suffering. The Djctor used the toxt to enforce the necessity of faith in the absolute superintendence of God, of Hia personal existence, and that good or bad are from Him. Church people are apt- to be atheistic, on these points. We know of God .by historical memory; rather by what he has dono than by what He is doing. We need an inward conscious- ness of hia presence—-a faith that makes the present divino. Hie voice ia hoard and His inspiration is felt to day. Tho ancient Athenians set up an altar to the unknown, the absent God, for they failed to understand Him, although they saw evidences of His power ; but Paul on Mars Hill told them of a living God, who was with them in their homes and their hearts. In this nineteenth century some may yot worship igno- rantly this unknown God, but " He dwells not in distant apace. Wo can find him here in the fields, in the street, in the town and village, in the home and in every day life, Paul’s humble dwelling waa a place for him—Jacob found him at Bethel.. Elijah went to Horeb to find Him. but QoB passed by and sent him back home into the. haunts o f: wickedness. . God is here. W e have but to unstop our deaf ears and listen, and open the. eyes of Faith to aee the invisible. God dwells within us, and we may bold sweet communion with him, Hia omnipresence ia not physical but moral. He is not in nature, except in his power. There we behold tho artist’s agency, but we need also the Father’s embrace. Tho boly of holies is within us, and tho truly religious man walks with God all tbe time. To affection tbe infinite dis- tance disappears, and in the blessed conaciouanesa of hia indwelling we may say, “I know that my Redeemer liveth.” God interferes in the routine of life. He is our God—our avenger—our champion; . The -JhriBtiiin through “ar- row finds out God, while the disbeliever often finds' Buffering to alienate him from God. . “ Affliction cometh not out of the duat.” He mixes the cup and “ tempers‘the wind to the shorn liimb,; Man ia not alone; trial brings him face to face with God, and if lie has faith as Job had, he can say “ Though he alay me yet will I trust in him.” Even in this age, there is a petty tyranny going on against thoso who love Jesua Obriat. We hear taunts and jeore, but the Christian may Hand secure, fer.God will avenge. Although tlie surges may roll, and the apray may reach the crag; he may look triumph- antly from the position he holds and say, “I know that my Redeemer liveth.” God sympathizes with ub, >vhen all hu- man affections fail, He individualizes ua.. He is not only the Redeemer of the world birt'of each one who feels him to be such. Our miuds arc last with the greatness o f <3bd. With telescopic vision,-we see myriads of worlds har- •monibusly revolving in-space,'system upon system^ and then with microscopic vision see in ths globule of water-living organisms of-wondrous beauty and per- fection. With the oyo of faith all of os mayappropriate—God to our souls through Jeaus Christ, for if we find him not there we shall never be'able to say, *f I know whbm I Iuvjs believed.” Intel- lect is the greatest atheist existing, but faith ia the eye of the aoul. The results of faith are consciousness, moral evidence and asauranco. “He that believeth hath the wttrieas.” There is a spontaneous •evidence, a sense of acceptance of salvation from sin and pardon; a sense of atrsngth in duty and in self-conquest; a direct oognition, peace—joy in. the holy spirit. Trans- formation of character is a it&ppy ex- perience, it is as the sense of sight to a . blind man, the opening of a hidden world, the rovelation of new experience?. Iu tbo trials of life, and in the hour of death there ia victory. Lot ua then cultivate the sense of God, thia emi- nent personal superintending, saving presence, Tfieri: may we paaa through life and through the vale into the realms, beyond.,ainging esultingiy. “ I kno w that my Redeemer liveth.- The gift of prayer may have praise with men, but it ia tho grace of prayer that baa power with God.

Al! Saturday was sunless, and at night, with increas- ing winds, and nearing land; neither moon , or atars appeared. Tho ship’s reckoning, if- not entirely lost, was sad-- ly defective, and yet we were dashing on to Ireland’s rock bound coast at the rate of 18 knots per hour. The possi- bilities were fearful, and while tho ut- most care in human reach wa3 used, yet if the channol should not be struck, a moment’s contemplation of tho results would almost frenzy even a well bal- anced mind.

Concerning Taste-FROM DR. WATSON S “ WHITE ROHES.

There is a deep m eaning in tbe old Methodist interrogation, “ D o you enjoy religion 7" It means a great deal more than being a ohurch-m em ber, or being a Christian in tho ordinary sense o f that term. It suggests a state in which re­ligion haa becom o a seraphic passion in tbe heart, that the atream o f grace has so swollen and filled the channel o f th e soul, that its onward rolling tide is a luxury. One o f the blessings attached to a pure heart is that the vitiated tastes o f tbe soul aro eo corrected that she servico o f God becom es our highest, keenest, eweoteat joy , and Divine things have a perpetually increasing charm to our tastes; Some one has triilingly said that “ this thing o f religion iB a m ere matter o f taste.” Very tru o ; but thia thing o f taste lies at the root and centre o f every moral being in existence. As tho taste o f dur mouth deoidea what kind o f food is eaten, eo the inner taste o f the heart decides the m oral pabulum on which tbe soul feeds, it is impoaai ble to deeply enjoy that for whioll we halve not a keen relish, so that to serve God joyously wc must serve H im in agreement with the keenest tastes o f heart and m ind.

Diseased organs will impair the taste, and all moral diseases must bo washed away from the soul in order to render the spiritual taste strong, united and heavenly. W hen the heart is in a rrtix- ed m oral etato, grace and depravity war ring against each other in the soul, then there is' a division in the tastes o f the m ind The voice o f conscience and the proclivities o f taste are often opposed to each other. In Buch a state we have eom e taste for worldly things, for world- !y em oluments, litorature, honors, eto., and yet woul<i feel shocked to go to tho full length o f Biunera; and on theottier hand wo have a taste for religion, its pursuits and future glories, but our taste is not sufficiently strong to make us yield ourselves com pletely and en thusiastically to tho pursuit o f holiness. H ow m any thousands o f Christians, both proaohera.and peoplo, are living along this miserable lino o f moral m ix aurea; they would feel diBgraceii to go bo far as sinners in earthly thingB, and (shall I say it? ) they would feel nearly as equally disgraced to go as fur as tho entirely sunotifiod in tbs triumphant zeal for heavenly things. Y ou have a taste for eloquent preaching, o f a gen era! character, but you can. not endure tho full-orbed blaze o f definite holiness preaching. Y ou havo som e taste for a quiet, orderly, indefinite, prayor-meet- ing, but you r diseased moral appetite is disgusted with the penteccBtal fire and glory o f a holiness prayer-meeting, Y ou bavo a taato for a little religioua conversation, bnt you fairly nauseate a scriptural testimony to full salvation. W hat you need is a perfeotly. healthy religious taste, so that you can relish the deep things o f the Spirit, and relish

; them all in time. W hen the will is .meetly united to God, and the heart m ade pure, it puts an ond to this disa­greeable divieion o f soul tastes. T be appetite for liquor and tobacco, in any form , is utterly oxtirpated. The secret Honoring taeto for jewelry, gaudy dress, light literature, gay society and earthly amusements, is utterly washed aw ay;

bo m uch so that they are disgusting to' the. pure soul. On tho other hand, everything in the service o f God be­com es a peronnial jo y . The tasted o f the intellect, the perceptions o f reason, tho dictates o f conscience, the choices o f will, and tho appetite o f the heart, flow like a crystal stream towards the heavenly and Divine. Now that the sanctifying Spirit has cured the moral palate, how it feeds on the pure word and p rayer! T he Sabbath, the Church, the holy hymns, tha gathering o f G od’s people, are all filled with a supernatiis- al ch a rm ,. Then everything is beauti­ful only in so far as it gives the soul gleamiB.of its precious Lord, and all tho B'l-calied.fine things o f earth grow un­lovely that lack the m ark o f the Lam b. Jn holiness, the aeriea o f religious duties are •transformed into a series o f relig­ious delights. The. old duties aro per­formed with a new and delicious zest. A h , here ia the only panacea for all the vitiated taatea tha: corrupt <md blind the Churoh.

This is not all. W hen our tastes aro thoroughly cleansed and renewed by tlio Spirit, they are far m ore intenae toward Divine .things than they ever were toward earthly things. Nothing is normal in the soul until it is brought in! union with G o d ; hence when bur taste ia restored to the pure taste o f God, it acts with an energy and zest surpass­ing ite form er relish for Bin. A 'real sainl has ah intense taste for heaven and holiness, greater than any' sinner lias for things o f earth. It is only as our faculties sra brought in blissful tmion with Jesus .that the;/ act up , to their m axim um o f strength. The heart whioh haa ,becom e tha habitation o f tbo Saiietifier,. will often have a sweetly dis­tressing thirst for.God; and a taste for Infinite Love, that is utterly mexpre'aa ibio and exceeding any airiner’B craving for evil things. W h o will believe these things, s,nd then w ho will prove their reality ? These seraphic ardors can be raised only upon the utter spoliation o f our earthly and aemi-oarthly tastes. It is G od’s plan to appii s;s for this world, that H e m ay fit us for heaven. Only a question o f taste veniy I yet heaven arid liell revolve on that p ivot o f taste. The vulture and the dove are divided only by their t a s t e s o are dem ons and ser­aphs. . W hen all the tastes are perfect, ly holy , the aoul will bo spoiled for all worlds except heaven, into which it will appropriately and inevitably gravitate.

8A1W ATH , N OVEM BER 18.— A CHARM ING D A Y — D R . W Y T H E ’S M ORNING 8E K M 0N — JOB AN D H13RKDKE.MKK— H OPE FO R HU M A N IT Y — SALVATION : FRO M SIN , AN D VICTO RY AT LAST.

Cloudless, balm y, beautiful, was the m orning— a typical Sabbath day. The great air organ., that told o f the com ing of-W inter,- had hushed its pealing an- them j the gentle zephyr whispering ■ o f the sunny south from whence it cam e; the restless, sad-voicod billows, fell with low m urm ur on the shore ; airy voy­agers on silent wing oirclod abovo the ocean’s heaving bosom , which reileeted the brilliant hue b f the peaceful heav­ens; the earth was robed in sunshine, and all the air a solem n stillness held. A congregation o f a m illion m ight wor­ship in this magnificent cathedral, with its blue overarching dom e. On such a day a goodly com pany wended their way to 8 t, Paul’s Ohurch, doubtless with thankful hearts attuned to the harm onies around them. ,

Dr. W ytho took for his text Job 1 9 :25 "F o r I know that my Redeem er liveth and that H e shollstatid at tbe latter day upon the earth.” H e said that som e supposed the book o f Job to bo a poem or a drama, but whether so or nutut was a realistic b o o k ; the history o f a suffer­ing m an, with troubles and doubts auch as we have. H is com forter, were .the same sort o f religionists as may be Beed to-day full o f current maxims. Orthodox liars for God thoy were, but in the char­acter o f Job is exem plified the strongest faith.

The toxt does not mean to teach the second com ing o f Christ or the doctrine o f tlio resurroction, the preacher thought, and i f tho italics which the translators havo supplied are eliminated from it, and its connections, thiB state­m ent will be m ors apparent. Job was an Arab A m eer. H e believed in the superintendence o f God over the affairs o f men, and in relatives avenging tho

wrongs; o f their kindred; hence ho de­clares to ilia pauedo comforters, “ I know that my Redeem er (avenger) liveth, and will one day vindicate tho right,.’ ’ This was tho moat ancient an­swer to the problem, what is the ond o f suffering.

The D jcto r used the toxt to enforce the necessity o f faith in the absolute superintendence o f God, o f Hia personal existence, and that good or bad are from H im . Church people are apt- to be atheistic, on these points. W e know o f God .by historical m em ory; rather by what he has dono than by what H e is doing. W e need an inward conscious­ness o f hia presence—-a faith that makes the present divino. Hie voice ia hoard and His inspiration is felt to day. Tho ancient Athenians set up an altar to the unknown, the absent God, for they failed to understand Him, although they saw evidences o f His power ; but Paul on Mars H ill told them o f a living God, who was with them in their homes and their hearts. In this nineteenth century som e m ay yot worship igno­rantly this unknown God, but " H e dwells not in distant apace. W o can find him here in the fields, in the street, in the town and village, in the hom e and in every day life, Paul’s humble dwelling waa a place for him —Jacob found him a t Bethel.. Elijah went to H oreb to find H im . but QoB passed by and sent h im back hom e into the. haunts o f : wickedness. . God is here. W e have but to unstop our deaf ears and listen, and open the. eyes o f Faith to aee the invisible.

God dwells within us, and we may bold sweet com m union with him, Hia om nipresence ia not physical but moral. H e is not in nature, except in his power. There we behold tho artist’ s agency, but we need also the Father’s embrace. T ho boly o f holies is within us, and tho truly religious m an walks with G od all tbe time. To affection tbe infinite dis­tance disappears, and in the blessed conaciouanesa o f hia indwelling we may say, “ I know that my Redeem er liveth.”

God interferes in the routine o f life. H e is ou r God— our avenger— our cham pion; . The -JhriBtiiin through “ar­row finds ou t God, while the disbeliever often finds ' Buffering to alienate him from God. . “ A ffliction com eth not out o f the duat.” H e mixes the cup and “ tem pers‘the wind to the shorn liimb,; Man ia n o t a lon e ; trial brings him face to face with God, and i f lie has faith as Job had, he can say “ Though he alay me yet will I trust in him .”

Even in this age, there is a petty tyranny going on against thoso who love Jesua Obriat. W e hear taunts and jeore, but the Christian may Hand secure, fer.God will avenge. A lthough tlie surges may roll, and the apray may reach the crag; he m ay look trium ph­antly from the position he holds and say, “ I know that m y Redeem er liveth.” God sympathizes with ub, >vhen all hu­m an affections fail, H e individualizes ua.. H e is not on ly the Redeem er o f the world birt'of each one who feels h im to be such. Our miuds arc last with the greatness o f <3bd. W ith telescopic vision,-we see myriads o f worlds har- •monibusly revolving in-space,'system upon system^ and then with m icroscopic vision see in ths globule o f water-living organisms of-wondrous beauty and per­fection. W ith the oyo o f faith all o f os m ay a p p rop ria te—God to our souls through Jeaus Christ, for i f we find him not there we shall never be'able to say, *f I know whbm I Iuvjs believed.” Intel­lect is the greatest atheist existing, but faith ia the eye o f the aoul.

The results o f faith are consciousness, m oral evidence and asauranco. “ H e that believeth hath the wttrieas.” There is a spontaneous • evidence, a sense o f acceptance o f salvation from sin and pardon; a sense o f atrsngth in duty and in self-conquest; a direct oognition, peace—jo y in. the holy spirit. Trans­form ation o f character is a it&ppy ex ­perience, i t is as the sense o f sight to a . blind m an, the opening o f a hidden world, the rovelation of new experience?.

Iu tbo trials o f life, and in the hour o f death there ia victory. Lot ua then cultivate the sense o f God, thia em i­nent personal superintending, saving presence, Tfieri: m ay we paaa through life and through the vale into the realms, beyond.,ainging esultingiy. “ I kno w that m y Redeem er liveth.- “ ■ •

T he gift o f prayer m ay have praise with m en, but it ia tho grace o f prayer that baa power with God.

Ilecatise twenty-five hundred miles o f the'w atery pathway, traveraed, the throe hundred yet remain­ing seemed as nothing, and we counted ourselves already there; Yet, I am not sure but.these last three hundred were am ong the most, tedious, toilsome, iytid dangerous o f the wbolo. Al! Saturday was sunless, and at night, with increas­ing winds, and nearing land; neither m oon , o r atars appeared. Tho sh ip ’s reckoning, if- not entirely lost, was sad-- ly defective, and yet we were dashing on to Ireland’s rock bound coast at the rate o f 18 knots per hour. The possi­bilities were fearful, and while tho ut­most care in human reach wa3 used, yet if the channol should not be struck, a m om ent’s contem plation of tho results would almost frenzy even a well bal­anced mind.

Last week the Pittsburg Chriilian A d ­vocate, being just 50 years old, took the pains to publish a.fac sim ile o f the firat page o f its first number, and otherwise celebrate the ovont by m aking lip ono o f the bf-st specimens o f a religious fam­ily paper eVer issued West o f tho Alle- ghanies. W e tender our heartiest con ­gratulations.. Miss Maria McClelland, formerly pf

Germantown, Philadelphia, and widely- known for her sterling piety and benev­olence, died Nov. il, at the hom e o f her

; biother, Des Moines,- Iowa. She had the bigb honor o f being foster mother to iho late Rev. Janies F. M cClelland, a brilliant and useful minister whom she raised and educated, and who preceded her to the heavenly world. < She had been a reader and friend o f this paper from its first number.

The St. Paul’s Parsonage Association held their second m onthly reunion for the soason on Thursday evening o f last weok at Thorne Cottage, ,,rh c attend­ance was good, and the treasurer, Mrs. J. Lyford, reported a donation to the funds from Mrs. Patched, W ilm ington, Del. Music was furnished during the evening by Misses H imtborn, Fergu­son, McPherson and Mariner. Miss Thorn received thanks for the very! kind and cordial manner in which Bhe re­ceived and entertained the com pany.

A t the Lyceum mooting on Friday evening o f last week, Rev. Frank M. Collins furnished an excellent essay on

' "Easily besetting sins,” Mis^E.

The discussion on Prohibition was opened by the principal speakers, Secretary Evans and Mr. J.K. Hayward, and will be continued on Friday evening o f this weok. A general invitation is extended to all interested; to be on hand and participate.

Dr. Stokes’ Letters.Next mail, after T h e R ecord went to

press laat week, an expected letter, ar­rived from Dr, Stokes. It was evident­ly written on shipboard, ahd posted im ­mediately; oil touching land. A nother followed it, which we have marked N o. 2, giving a graphic account o f his last bight 011 the outward voyage, his de­barkation at Queenstown, and joyful meeting with Bro. Thornley. These two are given in present issue. W ed­nesday m orning o f this week brought ua a third letter and a c o n p l; o f poems, one o f which we print, reserving bal­ance until next week. A rainy day, the Doctor tells ub, ih an accom panying note, gives him opportunity to write up for our readers, what he has so far ob­served. H e sends "tons o f love" to all his friends.

which we take to bo about as.follontfs: Mr. DePauw orily consented to tlie use o f his nam e by the unanim ous wish o f the trustees, Bishop Bowm an being chairm an. Tn this action the president and all the faculty, with the entire body o f five hundred students heartily con­curred. The leading people o f Greori- castle, and Methodists throughput the State, endorse the proposition, as does also the five hundred M ethodist minis­ters o f Indiana, and the entire board o f Bishops. All thiB would indicate that the news item we copied was an un­founded supposition, which we take o c ­casion thus publicly to correct.

Death .of Rev- J. Alfred Jones,■ A note from New Brunswick dated 21st inst., inform s' us that the young, talented arid greatly beloved pastor o f St. James M. E. Church iri that city died on the previous evening..’ H e had been ill only two weeks, but the severity o f the disease—typhoid pneum onia— was too m uch for even his robust; vig­orous and usually buoyant and hopeful constitution. \ ,

This sad intelligence will be a severe shock to h is brethren o f the New Jersey Annual ^Conference, among whom he stood BO'deservedly high iii affection and esteem. To his congregation the bereavement is inexpressible. Bro.JL. S. Johnson, in the note'above referred to, says : "This mysterious dispensation o f providence fills our . church, with the deepest grief, and this whole com m unity with a solem n sadness. .1 Baw strong men weeping like children last evening when the sad hews was known, so great­ly iiad.he won the hearts o f the people."

Ocean Grove, in this, affliction be­com es a niourner; Here he was a gen­eral favorite, and his cam p-meeting B erm onB a n d other labors during several years past, were appreciated in an ex­traordinary degree. Death found in Bro. Jones, truly “ a shining m ark.” H e was one o f the most prom ising and use­ful young men in the New Jersey pul­pit, and hiB place cannot, easily be filled. T o his sorrowing family and people we tender our heartfelt condo­lence.

“ One by One.” •From the city o f Baltiihore com es the

intelligence tbat MrevA nn M aria Browix wile o f Rev. James .H . Brown, D. D ,, departed this life N ov. Sfcb, after an ill ness o f three weeks. Our beloved friend; Dr. Brown, is left a lone, after the uweet com panionship , o f 47 years with one whose rare excellence o f char­acter, contributed to hia highest earthly jo y . Those who knew her well, say she was one o f the best o f women, o f a “ m eek arid quiet spirit,” walking in perfectness, in the f6ar o f the Lord, and the com fort o f the H o ly Ghost. Dr. Brown, it may be rem em bered, stated an impression he had. at one o f the Tabernacle meetings, that it might be their last visit^ to Ocean Grove. But death coming, to one so saintly, brought no dismay. H er end was calm, peace­ful and triumphant. Another lover o f Ocean Grove has gone to the hom e o f theglor ified . ^ -V1' /:

- “ Grows Mors Precious."A lady sending us her annual sub­

scription from Avon, Conn., says: " During tlio Camp-meeting o f 1888 ,1 was inquiring whether those grand ser­mons at the Grove were ever printed. I then, for the first time, heard o f T h e

R e c o r d , aiid subscribed for a short time on faith. .This little paper at once took hold o f my heart, and.haa been growing m ore precious every week since that time. Dear Sister Jam es'funeral ser­mon alone was worth m ore to m e than a years’ subscription. I read that in­spiring discourse while on a sick bed, arid now look forward with the greatest interest to hear from Dr. Stokes, during his absence iii Europe and the H o ly Land'. Many away oft in distant States I ihink would love to know o f such a paper ns the O c e a n G r o v e R e c o r d and how to obtairi it ;■ also the price, o f the "wall roll” , that Sister James worked on before she was called horiie to heaven."

DePauw University,A n item inadvertently crept into the

colum ns o f this paper aome weeks ago, to the effect that changing the nam e o f the old Indiana Asbury University to the above was likely to prove “ a bone o f contention.” ;We have been written to by several good authorities from the W est, pointing Out our mistake, and giving ua the exact state o f the case,

“ Our Country,” /form ed a fitting tiieme for Gen. Pile—preacher, soldier, m em ber o f Congress, Minister to New M exico arid Venezuela, and patriotic American, his eloquent response form­ed a fitting clim ax to this 11 feast, o f rea­son and llow o f soul.

W ith an apt quotation, Madam Davis olosed the exercises; and after music and congratulations this very happy affair ended. - V

In selecting the Sheldon H ouse for their annual supper, tho above BOciety secjred the very best accom m odations and service on Thursday evening o f last week. Members and their escorts, with invited guests, found thia palatial estab­lishment. brilliantly illuminated to give them a welcoine reception, and ita larg­est parlors; thrown open with a royal hospitality.

F or an hour or more M adam e Davis and Miss Em ily A , R ice courteously re­ceived the arriving guests, Mrs. R oberts and Prof. H enry assisting in the intro­ductions. E xcept the president, Mrs; H . M. Bradley, nearly all the notabili­ties o f Park and Groye put in an ap­pearance, and among the strangers present was Geri, File, a stalwart, sena­torial looking gentleman with the in­signia o f service at som e South. Ameri- cal court flashing oil his bosom . H e was accom panied by Mr. and Mrs. Little o f the Seaside Hotel, the latter being his daughter.

A t about 9 r. M.', while a grand march was being performed on tlie piano, the entire; com pany filed - into the dining room to the number o f 75 persons, the position o f each being indicated by a card with the name written. A hand­som e boquet had been provided for every guest. The tables arranged in two semi-circles were profusely adorned and loaded with delicacies, reflecting on the experienced hostess, Mrs. Sheldpn, vory high orcdit. , ;

A fter a blessing had been invoked by Rev. Dr. W allace, and a full hour , de­voted to the discussion o f boned turkey, pickled oystere* tongue, ham, salads, jellies, ice cream, cake, and "fruits, M adame Davis, quietly unrolled a form ­idable programme; and p roceed ed . to announce a series o f toasts or senti­ments, to which, at her graceful and in­sinuating m andate certain gentlem en were persuaded to respond. .

' Our Clergy,” called up Dr. Pawley, always ready, and alw ays; sensible in having the right word in the right place. H is tribute to the sacred office, and the m en in this com m unity who fill it, waa heartily and eloquently expressed.

“ Our absent friends,” found a repre­sentative in Mr. W m . C. Bakes, who mingled with chaste eulogium, a vein o f pathos very appropriate to. the kind­ly sentiment.

“ The Doctors.” were dissected by D.H . W yck off, Esq., in : his beat m ood, witty and wtae. - -V ■

“ Journalism " found an advocate in Prof. H enry, who pictured the deplor­able condition o f any conamunity desti­tute o fa m odern, progressive newspaper.

‘ Prohibition ,’ ’ was assigned to Mr. H awkins, one o f A sbuiy Park’s bright­est young lawyers, who roso to the m ag­nitude o f that question, as being one properly iii the dom ain o f politics, but above it in theprinciples o f moral econ­om y. In one of his boldest flights, som e­body touched a glass, which Bounded like the tap o f a tim e boll, and he sud­denly subsided.

“ N eptune,” called forth a humorous speech from Col. R ippey, who evinced som e acquaintance with m ythology, but overlooked our modest township bear­ing tho sea god ’s n a m e,. :. .:

“ Our Debaters,” gave Dr. 'Keator; who had to take the place o f an absent, victim , opportunity for the airing o f his well-known facility to discuss society matters in a humorous way, and to the delight o f his appreciative audience.

“ The Ladies,” aomewhat embarrass ed tlie oditor o f T he R ecord ; but by rising pretty freely a vocabulary o f com ­plim entary phrases, he managed to m eet the em ergency. W ith somo broad generalization he disposed o f the “ fair sex ," and particularized the members o f the Literary Society, referring to the dignified and beautiful character o f the a.cting prcsidont, tho tact and talent o f her associate, Miss Rice, the com bina­tion o f m atronly honor, ;and poetic re­sources, o f the founder, Mrs. H . B. Beegle, the industry and genius o f others present and absent, the silken bond their organization formed between the twin cities by the sea, and the value o f their- work in mutual elevation, and the general tone o f society . On naming Mrs. Beegle the applause waa .unre­strained.

Ocean Grove Literature. ;,KROM I)R. STOKKH ANNUAL REPORT..

Three thousand copies o f the Thir­teenth Annual Report o f the President o f Ocean Grovo were printed laat au­tumn, by order o f the Association, under the title o f “ Attractions By the Sea.” It is a pam phlet o f 62 pages, with 20 illustrations, besides pictorial cover. It is sought with, m uch -interest,' lias been largely circulated freo o f cost, and is, I think, appreciated. W e also published in M ay lost; ita is our custom ,5,000, o f the 14th number o f our annual paper, which contains 70 articles on a variety o f subjects, such as inform and interest peraons who are thinking o f m aking this place a suriimor hom e. It alao contains 15 illustrations, besides a largo m ap o f the Grove on the laat page. This paper is also lookod for with inter­est, as many depend upon it for certain lines o f inform ation, and as they obtairi it gratuitously, send • it to their friends abroad to our advantage.

There have also been published by us frotn tim e to tim e, Ocean Grove Beach M eeting Responsive./Services, foiir pages en.ch. Three new one? were added this year,, v iz .:: W isdom , Tem ­perance and R eunion, W e have now eleven in all. These greatly help in our services on the beach, and are prized by ou r people.

Tho O c e a n G r o v e R e c o r d is still pub­lished weekly by R ev. Dr. W allace. It steadily maintains its literary character, and is full o f interest the year round. To those o n ' the ground it makes its cheerful visits, tolling tiiem in pleasant wordtt what they, to som e extent already know, and it keeps the absent informed even in m inute details o f what is going on, so that, when they return in the spring, they are alm ost as well inforriaed as if they had been horo all the year. A ll the friends of Ocean ' Grove neod T h e R e c o r d , and tho low price at which it ia published places it within eaay reach o f aii

M r. W m . It. Evans, has for three years. past published a Guide and Di­rectory ' o f Ocean Grove and Aabury Park. The volum e o f the present year, containing 128 pages, is neatly printed' and nicely bound. T o be o f any service this book has to be. got out early in the season, and this being done before m any o f the cottages are occupied, fails to meet the general want. As far aa it goes, however, it is good.

A s always, m uch has been written the past yea,r concerning Occun Grove. In the lost' autumn arid during the winter, som e Of the vilest articles ever penned concerning us were publishedi T he Popular- Scicnce Monilihj, a. m aga­zine o f such high sounding title, that it would lead the uninitiated to conclude that nothing would be admitted into ita dignified pages that'had not passed a thorough examination and waa scien­tifically true, lent itself to the publica­tion o f an '.article, to our injury which did not contain a single line o f truth. This was published in the ChrUtian jId- vocatt), imd a reply from us invited by its oditor. The reply was m ade, showing the whole, to be Take, and twice pub liBhed in the Advocate, with editorial notice and approval. I am ,now most happy to state, that having passed thr ough.the ordeal o f another season, the whole tone o f the public presB, both secular and religious, has changed toward us. In an article closely printed, and nearly a colum n in length, the New Y ork iSito sa y s :

T he remarkable success o f this place as a sum m er resort is attributable in a great measure to the attraction of the cam p-meeting, the remarkable beauty o f the locality, and a firmness o f the Ocean G rove Camp Meeting Aaaocia- tion in enforcing the lawa and regula­tions of their charter concerning the sale o f intoxicating liquors and bever­ages, and the suppression- of amuse­ments o f a character classed as im m oral by the discipline o f the Methodist Epis­copal Ohurch.

A highly favorable editorial appeared a few days after the above, in the Bame paper. The Tnbune and Herald were also favorable. The secular press o f Philadelphia has also changed ita man rier,: and all over the land: the same kindly spirit liiis been shown, Tho re­ligious press, too, without reference to denominational ljnea, has spoken in our praise, Indeed, Bome .things', pub­lished by tho other denom inations have been so strongly, eulogistic; that to re­peat them here wpuld savor o f egotism, arid crim son' the chcek o f modesty to ita highest glow.

Rev. Dr. Buokley, editor o f tho Chris­tian Advocutc, haa done ua invaluable

service, not only in the prom pt publi­cation o f our reply to the Popular Science Monthly, bat in notes and items from tim e to time, and not the least, is a full colum n o f editorial, printed on the first page o f .the Admcaie,, Sept. 1, 1883, under the caption, “ C an : there bo a Christian W atering. P lace?” for w h ich ! he- and all others who have w ritten ' truthfully concerning us have our thanks. H aving been stigmatized for the last fourteen yefirs, as narrow, big­oted, Methodistio, Sabbatarian, fanati­cal, undemocratic, despotic, etc,, we fee! as if we had passed through the burning desert o f unjust criticism , and for one season, at least, have reached an Elim rest.

Thanksgiving,The Christian Advocate o f this weok

very properly issues a proclam ation o f ita own, calling on the. prosperous to thank God for all his benefits toward them, and those iri m oderato circum ­stances to be thankful that the all-wise Benefactor has given them what the prophet prayed for " neither riches nor poverty but food convenient for them .” It calls the poor, the sick, the bereaved to thanksgiving for what is le ft ; and if nothing is left, to thank G od for the hope of heaven and the consolations o f hiB grace. Those who are without the hope o f heaven, should be thankful that it is still freely offered to them , and they m ay accept it and rejoice with joy unspeakable, and full o f glory. To those who do not care for it; there is motive to be thankful that they are not am ong the loet.

This covers the whole ground, and we are tharikful to quote the message.

White’s Artesian Well.The erection o f a monster derrick in

tlio rear o f Uriah W hite’s building on Main Btreet, Asbury Park, attracted our attention last week, and on personal investigation we found the popular well- driver engaged in a now and vory im ­portant enterprise. W ith the aforesaid derrick, he has purchased a powerful boring m achine, with Bteam engine, drills and all the apparatus riecessary for a large business in boring Artesian wells! Thia is in view o f the probable demand o f the times. Hia own experi­mental well is now at a depth o f over 275 feet.andso powerful and perfect is the m achinery lie h a j provided, that it is capable o f boring 100 feet in a day. To soe it in operation is a groat curiosity. W hen he strikes the expeoted water, and others want to bore, he will be all ready to serve them, in a m anner that will materially decrease the cost o f the Undertaking. . '•

Those Beautiful. Ohuroh Bells.It is . both a gratification and pleasure

to, note the great and general satisfac­tion which the McShano Church Bells give wherever Bent. Following is a letr ter published by permission o f the firm, and it speaks for .itse lf;'a fter stating that he was glad that his Bill was set­tled, he say s : Now, I have anotherBill to squaro and settle. I moan the Bill o f honor with respect to your Bell. I t is for m e a duty, both o f justice and courtesy to acknowledge, as , highly as possible, that you have fully and en­tirely settled your obligation towards me. Y our Bell is very nioe, very strong, very sonorous; giving general and en­tire satisfaction, .Its way to the ch u rch . from the railroad station (some ten miles): was a triumphal one. The p eo ­ple, as it passed along, being roused by , its mighty voice. T ho day it was fixed up in its steeplo waa a feast day, the whole parish was gathored all around to Bee and to hear, and the satisfaction goes on increasing. Now, this Bell is spoken o f to its praise in every part o f th ircountry. I am sure that no other com pany do better than you did. I shall not fail to praise and com m end your Bells at every opportunity, and the next tim e I want a Bell, I Bhall not fail to apply to you again."

There ia a good, and the true ring ih this letter, and demonstrates that the Henry McShane & Co. Bell Foundry, Baltimore, Md.., can supply the world with superior and perfectly satisfactory Bells, possessing, as they do, the most com plete facilities for furnishing the most satisfactory and superior Bells in every respect.

— ■"—» « >T be General Convention o f the Pro­

testant Episcopal Church , in its late ses­sion at Philadelphia, occupied much o f its time in discussing amendments to the Book of Common Prayer. There waa quite a lively debate over proposed amendments to the title-page o f tho book .. One delegate proposed to strike out the words “ Protestant Episcopal” and insert “ H oly Catholic.” Another proposed sim ply to strike out “ Protes­tant Episcopal,”-thereby giving the book tho modest title o f the " Book o f Com­mon Prayer o f the Church.” Koth o f these propositions were argued with great apparent earnestness, and were supported by numerous speakers; but whon it cam e to the voting, a very large majority decided to stand by the old historic nam e o f the churcb. Some, however, o f those voting with tho ma­jority conceded that it was a calamity that they had to bo known as a Protes­tant Church. Ritualism is on the in­crease in that com m union, and H igh Ghurchism is far too prevalent.

The friends o f the removal or exten­sion o f the time lim it in the Methodist Episcopal .Church have been surprised at the unanimity with which the fall conferences have voted against the pro­posed measure. W ith scarcely an ex­ception theso bodies hove voted against any oliange in the present term ofthree years, the laymen being quito as decid­edly adverse to a modification o f the rule as the ministers. ItseoniB certain, therefore, tbat. the next General Confer once will make no change in the exist­ing law, although it seems equally cer­tain that the influential minority have no idea o f giving up the struggle.

The pleasures which a holy snul hath in knowing God, and in com m union with H im , are not only o f a spiritual nature, but they are satisfying, thoy are filling to tho soul, and m ake a happi­ness adequate to its beat affections. It is remaining and not flashy and transi­tory. That is true pleasure, and de­serves the name, which will continue with us a tree of life, and not wither as the green herb; whioh will be, not as tbe light o f a candle, which is soon burnt out, but as that o f the sun, which is a faithful witness in heaven. W c reckon that most valuable which is most durable.— Mtdthew H a iry .

There is a pOwer in silent influence It is not, what good men Bay which gives thom powor over thoir fellow-m en, bo much aa the fact that they are Chris­tians, und do Christian acts, and livo Christian lives. A silent, secret, but powerful influence goes out from them and their actB even when they are not consoiously seeking to exerciso any in­fluence at all. In simply being for Christ, they are acting for Christ.

There is no virtue that adds so noble a charm to the finest traits o f beauty, as that which exerts itself in watching over the tranquility o f an aged parent. There are no tears which give so noble a lus­tre to the choek o f innocence as the tears o f filial sorrow.

Exam ple iB the softest and least in­vidious way o f com m anding.
