REV. A. WALLACE, D. D„ Editor. OOEAN GROVE, N. J., SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1884 VOL. X. NO 4. A Sigh for the Son. BY REV, E. IT. BTOKES, D. D. Wo havo spent thirty four days In London. Twenty of thcao wore very, line for thia oity in Dccombor, yet nonoof them Wore free from gloom caused by smoko and fog. During tbo remaining fourteen, tho sun was entirely obscured, and on Saturday, 2Uth of December, 1883, nothing could be dono indoore without tbo old of gas, yet we aro told wo havo not Boon a gonulno London fog. Oh, for tho light of thostmUt land, s Where tho birds forever sing ; j Ob, for a sight of tho angol bond, •And flash of thoir snowy wing. Oh, for tho light, tho glowing light, Tho homo-land of tho soul, Out from tho night to reglbns bright, Whero Joys forovor roll. There's fog and gloom at tho height of noon, • Tbcro’Bdamp In tho chilly air; While day, alas, turns to nigh so soon, Like hopo sinking to despair. Would mornings riao in sweet surprise, Would tbo light of flod unfold, Whllo joyfhl oyes behold tbo skies And hitUops tipped with gold. I sigh for light of tho golden day, For home light from above, Whoro morning’s flash and noons aro gay And tho Bunsots smilo with lovo. A golden ray of royal day, ; And skies llko tho blue bird’s wing, A Joyous layj like a song in May, Whero birds of tbo soul shall sing. Through tho mists and chill a vision breaks, Sweet hope in tho heavy gloom ; A song orjoy on tho hill-tops wakes, And tho soul warms into bloom. . The mists grow thin, without, within, And on to the distant shoro; Tho ransomed win and freo from sin, There is light forever moro. - London, Jan, 2d, 1884. . Dr, Stokes' Correspondsnco. X —HERE AND THEBE AO' UT LONDON. In tbie great city there is enough to write about for & year, nay, for years, but, in this my last letter from here, I can only skim over things and give you a bird's eye view. London streets are n curiosity. Their number is not only legion, but many legions, crooked, straight, brood, narrow, long, short, clean, dirty, rich, poor, high, low, lordly, mean and quearly named, from Bird Cage Walk to Regeut and Quean Vic- toria streets. Hundreds o! them are densely thronged, and as difficult to cross aa Broadway, New York, in its most orowdeil parts. The modes of travel are by cabs, handsoms and om- nibuses, whioh are numbered consecu- tively. I do not know how many there are, but the numbers are all placed con- spicuously in 3ight, and the highest I have S8CD Is 18,225. Ttie rates ate; one shilling for two persons any distance not exceeding a mile. Added to these are the underground, surface and ele- vated railroads, or trams, m they oali those which run through the streets. The other day, in going , to Moody’s and Sankey’s meeting, wo took the elevated road. In the section through whioh we passed, the bouses aro low arid our road on a level with the roofs, made it appear aa if we were passing through a great forest of ohimneys In our trip to tbo Crystal Palace, wo start- ed in a tunnel; a mile or two brought us into daylight, and a little farther .on we were elevated. In one place I no- ticed a railroad below us, and twenty feet or bo . below that was the street of the city. Still on there was a bridge for a wagon way above us, so I said we were traveling in the third story of what might bs called four stones of roads. There are large numbers of polide- men'in London, and it lakes them all to keep the streefs in order. We were on the top of an omnibus one day, and it was amazing to soo the crowds and iockadf of horses, veiohels and men. Biding along Bishop's Gate street, when we came to Thread Needle street, .wo were in a perfect tangle, and It took the police' sometime to undo the knot Notwithstanding all their care, I under- stand, there are over 800 people killed here annually b y : accident in the streets. The River Thamea runs through tho heart of the oity, and is- narrow, dark and muddy. The tide rises about 25 feat and the ouirrenl is very strong. En tering a boat one day and noticing the water was low, I said to the captain at the gangway ; “The tidaisout.”- "No,” ■laid he," ’hito neither haut nor bin, aits ’aff an’ ’aff.” 10 ,1s it,” said I» There are eleven bridge* which span the river, all of them nobla structures. The London Bridge is ihe greatest thoroughfare. It is 928 feet long, haa .five granite arches resting on' as many piers, costing $10,000,000, and it is es- timated that 7,800,000 vehioles and SO,' 500,000 foot people cross it in a year. The Victoria ^Embankment runs along tha north bank of tho Thames, from Blackfriora to Westminster Uridgo, a distance of a mile and a'half, It is si stone wall, twenty, or thirty fast., high, from below low-wator mark, up to the level of the streets, and makes a mag- nificent promenade and roadway 300 feet wide. It cost $10,000,000, and iB one of London’s most fashionable drives. Bro. Thornley and I walked it on a beautiful day and enjoyed it hugely. The largo and euporb new Law Courts, or as we would say, Court House, in gothic architecture, cost $5,000,000. What most arrested our attention as wo passed through the vast corridors, was to Bee scores of law students, members of the bar, and judges, some of them not over 25 years old, and none of them very, far advanced, passing to and fro with quiok steps, each one wearing a powdered wig, even though they may have had lino black hair and plenty of it of their own. But then this is the fashion in tho London law courts, and all, not only submit, but take it on as a part of their official dignity. There are a great many squares and parks in London. The Bquares are generally email, and even the parks are not large. Resents’ Park contains 472 acres, Hyde Park 390, and 8t. James’ Park, in front of Buckingham, Palace, very muoh smaller. All, however, are well kept and beautiful. The Albert memorial, a. superb gothic monument, 175 feet high, is covered with statues, and com- posed of a gothic canopy, under which is a colossal statue of Princo Albert. It ia the grandest 'monument we have seen in these lands'of. monuments, and would require many descriptive col- umns' to do it justice. I asked how much it cost,' but they said ho one knew; I judge they do not care to have it known.' To say a million dpi: lara, would, I am quite sure, fall below the mark; While looking at:: find greatly admiring this monumental pile,. Bgentleman stopped up and said: “ I beg pardon, >,ir, is hot your name Stokes—E H . Stokes, of America?” I seemed to.,wake up as from a dream for it had. been so long since T had heard my name called by any one ex- cepting by Bro, Thornley, that I hardly knew what to muke of it, and looking at him .in surprise, isxclaimed, “ God bless you, or any ono else who can call my namo, or who ever Baw mo before.” 11Yea,” I continued, “ but, my dear sir, who are you?” “ Ob,” Baid ho “ didn’t I often go to Halsey Street Church in Newark. 1ST , J»,.when. you were pastor there,- and didn’t my wife, then a little girl,, go to your Sunday-school,; apd didn’t we.:both go so hear you, preach over and over again, and' didn’t we like to go, 3Bd didn't we get married at last, and we moved to Bostoa, and I am' pastor. of ' one of, the largest Baptist Churches in that city, sad my name is Seymour, Rev. Robt.G. Seymour, D, D., and m y wife’s name ib Mrs. Seymour, juBt as nice os she can be, whom. I haven't seen for six months, but am on my way home now und expect to spend Christmas, with her and the children and my dear congregation ” By this time, although I naver romembored to havo Been him before, and did not re- member his wife, for it haa been thirty years and more, yet we grasped eaoh other’* hands and both felt like Bhout ing right there in tho royal streets of Londuu, in front of hia majesty’s itn perial mocaorial monument. When we parted, I said to him : “ Give my lovo to your wife and all'of the children, nose of whom I have seen, and may you have a happy Christmas together and many of them.” Oh what a. luxury in a strange land to see somebody whom you have hoard of or soon be fore. You will therefore pardon the above enthusiasm. But I wanted to toll you about the great Smithtielcl markets, covering four or five seres, filled with the finest beef, veal, lamb, pork, SeU and auch things which the Uuitod Kingdom cau furnish. Near by is the venerable Churoh of St, Bartholomew the Great, founded in A. D. 1102, and a hundred yards or bo South, the Bpot where they. burned the martyrs in 1655-6 7. Wo took off our hate as we rend the inscription, and joined in the “ To Damn,” the Noble army of tho martyrs praise thee.” I. would like to tell y ou, too, of the Tower of. London, and all tho bloody deads enacted therein;'how we Btood on the spot ?<-hem the beautiful Lady Jane Gray ,and. Queene Anti;:? Boyleyn were beheaded, and in the cells where' royalty had been incarcerated, and kinga uncrowned; the crown jewels,, golden maces, swords with golden scab- bards, golden Balt cups, golden commu- nion sets,’used on coronation occasions —of Victoria’s orown, containing 2783 diamonds, made in 1838, worn but once, and never to be worn again. The total value of the articles belonging to thsj royal regalia, is eaid.to be $15,000,000. I would bs,glad, ate, to take you, in thought, to the imperial Houses of Par- liament, into the robing rooms of the Queen' and of the Princess of Wales; into the House of Lords, and to describe the throne of England, the magnificent seat of Queen Victoria, . But, dazed with all this accumulation of ancient gloom and‘ glory, together with the gorgeous splendor of- the royal su; roundings, my brain whirls and un- equal to the herculean task, lay down my weary pen, and, for tbe present so far as London ia concerned, rest. . London, Christmas Eve, 1883. . Politeness.. Sir Arthur Helps had the happy fac- ulty of putting expressions of wisdom into a few words. It was he who said “ familiarity should not; swallow up- courtesy;” Probably one half , of the rudeness oi youths of ■ this .Jay, that later in life will develop into brutality; is due to the- failure of parents to en- force in the family circle the rules of courtesy,. The son or.daughter who is discourteous to membera of the family because of familiarity with them ia very likely to.prove rude and overbearing to others and very. certain to be a tyrant in the household over which he or Bhe may be called on to preside. There ia of this day undeniable imong the rising generation &lack >f courteous demean- or ts ihe family. Of all places'in the world, let the boy understand, home is the place where he should- speak the gentlest and be the moat kindly, and there ia the. > s !scg of all where court- eous demeanor should prevail. The lad who is rude' to his' sister, imperti- nent to his mother and vulgar in hia .home will prove a «ad husband for a suffering wife and a cruel father to un- fortunate children. The place for po- liteness, as Helps puts it, is where we mostly think it superfluous. .How to Cure Gossip, .- Adopt this rulo. Let all who come to you with stories about mutual ac- quaintance know.-that ysa intend, as soot! as your duties allow; to wait *jpofi the parties spoken of disparagingly, and repent just what was said, and who said it. Still better, take out your memor- andum book and ask tbe party to allow you to copy the wordB, bo that you can make no mistake. You will have to do this probably not more than three times. It will fly among your acquaintances on the wings of the gossips, and persons who come to talk against other persons in your presence will bogin to feel as if they were testifying under oath. But, you ask, “ Will it not be mean to go off and detail conversation ?” Not at all when your interlooutor under- stands tbat ho muBt not talk against an absent person in your presence without expecting you to convey the words to tho absent person, and tho namo of tho speaker. Moreover, what right has any man or woman to approach you and bind you to aecreoy, and then poison your mind against another? If there be any difference in your obligations, are you not bound more to the man who is iibseut than the man who ia present ? If you can thus help to kill gossip it will riot matter if you loso a friend or two;. Buch friends as these, who talk against others to you, are the very persona to talk against you to them. Try our rule. We know it to be good. We use it. It is known in the church of whioh we are pastor, that if any one speaks to us disparagingly of an absent member, we iiold.it our duty to go to that absent member immediately ' and report the conversation and the names; or, still better, to make tho party dis- paraging face the party disparaged. We have almost none of this to do. Amid the many annoyances whioh necessarily come to. the pastor of i- large church, and still larger congregation, we think that we are as free from tho anuoyance of gossips as it is possible for a man to be who lives amongst his fellow m en.. '. Try our rule,, try it faithfully, with meekness and charity, and if it does hot work well let us know.—Rev. Dr. Deans. What now powers, what new experi- ences may not follow wben the spirit breathes ethorial air,, and the eyes look on the whiteness; of God’s throne i It is the specialty of man, that bis nature is an unsouhdeJ deep. A handful of acorns cover a mountain-side with for estB, a sufficient mystery when we think of it, but there it ends, in simple, im- mense reproduction; But man, being made in the. image of God,.is stored with endleaa capacities, for he. has a long journey before him down the end-; less ages, and new powers-will be reed - ed fresh wings, aS he mounts into higher- atmospheres., Such a thame must be touched reverently, but I know nothing to forbid us regarding tho soul of man as ft seed dropped from God’s own self inlo this earthy soil, here to begin its endless growth back towards its source, an end never to bo attained, because limiting ccnditons havo bean assumed, but still at an ever lessoning distance. What other dream can cover bo well the majesty and mystery'of our nature? ■you can just let them read on, aed they will come to it. It ia this, I used to hearbefare coming to this country that the water on the Continent was bo bad, that it made travelers sick, and that Americans, , evert though' temperance people at home, must, .when they go abroad, use wine.if, they would keep in health. Now, I wish to nay, that both Bro. Thornley and myself,have found the water m thia country excellent, and while I do not remember that -we have sat.down to a table once since we left homa, that Irave not wine and other, liquors oh them, and - ; 4 have repeated- ly, been urged to drink, and sometimes where it seemed rude and impolite to decline, ,vet we have uniformly refused, aafl I am very thankful to our heaven- ly Father that thus far pur health is excellent. All tbe people, l;Ulie; gen- tlonien and children, arousld ua drink their wine, yet wn still 'hold to cold water. Some times the people amile st our simplicity, but not minding, we still hold on. Brussels, Jan. 4,1884. Twelve Years Old and Under, BY ilEV. E. U. BTOKE3, D. D. The other day vs were going along the Btreota of Brussels, aud hearing a wonderful clattering behind us, turned to see what was the matter. What do you think it was? Well, there were five little children, fivs or ?ix years old, each of them had two feet, and each .of their feet, tec in all, had on a thick heavy wooden shoe, (a»any of the poorer people -here wear, wooden shoes) and the little, feet thus shod, were going just aa hard and fast as. they- could go, and the street?, being payed with Btone, you may be sure, they made some noise; These' «ioe3" ?»ere not only made of wood but they' were very rough, clumsy, sad aaust have been to tender feet, uh- comfortable, but the little bare headed urchins seemed just as happy as if they had on the finest boots, and wore slay- ing on bru8sels carpets. You will all find, somo day, young readers, that it is not bo much what we have, as what we are, that makes ub happy. . Another thing I noticed in Brussels. They make the dogs work. I suppose we saw, all told, hundreds of carts, some larger and some smaller, all well, and some quite heavily loaded, drawn by dogs. Some draw coal, some produce, a good many of them have cans filled with milk, othora vegetables from the suburbs of the city, and ono I saw on its homeward way with quite a numbor 8f bundles of one kind and another, to- gether with a woman sitting comfort- ably in tbo midst, and a boy, her son I presume, led the dog, which he occa- sionally whipped up, while the dog, poor follow, pulled for dear life, panting along, with tongue out, longing for home, Thoir carts all had little shafts, and the doga had a poor kind of har- ness with which they wore hitched to them. After awhile we saw another kind, A Port of hand cart, with a collar fixed to the axeltrea, through which they slipped the dog’s head mid neck, which brought him right under the body of the cart, mid pioiected him from being run over'by horses, and at the same time placing him in a belter position for doing his work. Tiio same day we Baw a dog,either too lazy to work or nothing to do, I am not sure which, while another dog came along hitched to a cart. The idle dog pitched on the one at work. The working dog stop- ped, and a tussle commenced. A crowd gathered of course. But the cart-dog conquered. Good I So ho ought. That isjuBt the way it ia everywhere. Some people too lazy to work, snarl and bark and etrike at those who do, and I wish like the idle dog in Brussels, they might get whipped evory time. - Now there is ono thing more I want to tell you, than close,this letter. I tell you, rathor than tbe older folks, because a good many of tho older people aro kind of set in their ways, and it might not do much good to tell them. I don’t want you to tell them what I say either, but if you see them reading this article, Mortality. (finbjuct from Osslim.) OV HEY. I. 11.

BY MARY O. CLARK, will need to call on God for help, and tho "Baal” whom they now worship will not heed them. Let us Bay to ail Buch, turn to the true God now while Ho is waiting to help and save. Those who are out of the fold of Jesus, and depend on outward circumstances for their happiness, will find these circum- Btancca a broken cistern from which they can draw no water in the time of extremity, but to the Christian God- is: above all circumstances and makes ‘‘all things work togethor for good to them who love Him. Now let us look again at Elijah; hia turn has come; again the altar ia erect- ed, a trench around it, tbe wood ia put in order, the sacrifice laid on, and four barrels of water were three times emptied over the altar and over the .wood. Elijah knew in whom lie trust- ed, he knew God’a fire could consume sacrifice wood and wator, they only in- . creased the greatness of His power. Blessed be God! tbe answer came. God heard hia servant’s prayer, arid He who promised “never to leave nor forsake” His own, answered by a coneu miag fire, for the word assures us that “ when the fire of the Lord fell, it consumed the sacrifice, tha wood, the stones, the dust and licked up the water that was in the trench I” We hava nothing to fear, Elijah's God is our God. Blessed be His name for- ever. Let us trust and not bo afraid, and our God will deliver, and glorify Himaeli in his children, no matter what their surrounding ciroumatances, for it is true, that " Deup In unfflthomnblc mines Of nuver failing skill, lie treasures up liia bright denlcnfl,' And works UlH aoTOroigu wllT.'' Practical Beform. How true it is that God ia greater than circumstances. We have often heard the tempted child of God say, O, if my circumstances were different I could live a more devoted life. Lot us take a glimpse at the life of that grand old prophet, Elijah, alone with his God, on Mouut Carmel. Humanly speaking, alono. Arrayed, in striking contrast against him, were four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, besides the four hundred voluptuous prophets of the groves who ato at wicked Jezebel's table. Circumstances were eoomingly against him, but. what were they compared to tho infinite power of his God? Elijah called them to Mount Carmel, he ordered iwo bullocks to be slain, cut in picces, and laid on wood, giving thorn the opportunity of calling on their God first, No fire was put under tho wood, for tho God that answered-by fire from heaven and consumed thesnorifice —Ho was to be recognized as the true God, And they took the bullock and dressed it, and laid it on tho wood, but put no fire undor. Then these four hundred prophets called upon Baal from early morning until the ti«ne of the evening sacrifice, out wo are told 11that thera was noitner voice, nor any U> answer nor any tuat regarded.” What a sad truth I Does it not vivid- ly picture the wordlmgs who go with the inulitude, and seek pleasures from for-, bidden sources? A time will come in thoir life, sooner or later, when they. One ot our daily papers recently pub- lished an article, which if universally read, mado every Christian heart rejoice in the prospect, at least, of “ a better day hastening on.” No longer will an appropriation of $800 be made annually for tobacco for the use of the inmates of tbe Philadelphia county prison, but $200 will be devoted to a library. After testing tho experiment of de- priving the prisoners ot this filthy weed and finding their health in a better con- dition, the authorities resolved to strike it from the list of necessary supplies, for whioh every one interested in the temperance work, and certainly every Christian, will eay, “ Praise the Lord !" We pray also that tha “hot water” may bea s uccussful substitute for liquor. Bro. Liilagore. says .“ Tobacco is the twin sister to whiskey.’1 While many Christian men plead lame exouses for uaing tobacco, thoy would be horrified to be associated with druDkarde. Some time ago a prominent minister after preaching a good temperance Ber- mon in one of our large oity ohurches, was invited to dine with one of his old friends, a member of the church. In this family was a young man, not long converted and who had made repeated attempts to give up the use of tobacco, but observing ministers, official and private members of the church continue its use, thought it no harm, and in this way tried to ease his conscience. Altar dinner the temperance lecturer asked the daughter of the gentleman with ■whom ho dined, if she had any objec- tions to his smoking. The lady certain- ly looked anpriaed, and most emphati- cally answered, yea i Finding no con- veniences for indulging such a dapravai appetite, ha soon took his departure, leaving anything but a salutary influ- ence on the family. Evou the. young nrnu could not but condemn such gross inconsistency. How much Borrow, how many oitter tears, liow much money would have been saved, had thiB young man been influenced by his older brethren in the oburch to surrender en- tirely to God and forsake every evil appetite. From umoking he went to drinking, and not until inuoh money, comfort'and happiness was lost, were nis eyes opened to find himaelf far away from thu tiaviour, who is always ready to welcome tho wanderer back to the fold. Will all who road this offer a prayer in faith that this person may not only be saved from the faintest appetite for liquor, but also for tobacco, which ia evidently injuring bis health. Thank God, there ia a salvation whioh saves to the uttermost, destroying all carnal appetites aud lusts, able to make and. keep ub pure, through tho blood of Jesus. * L. H. K.

A Joyous layj like a song in May,W hero birds o f tbo soul shall sing.

Through tho m ists and chill a vision breaks, Sweet hope in tho heavy gloom ;

Dr, Stokes' Correspondsnco.X —HERE AND THEBE AO' UT LONDON.

In tbie great city there is enough to write about for & year, nay, for years, but, in this my last letter from here, I can only skim over things and give you a bird's eye view. London streets are n curiosity. Their number is not only legion, but many legions, crooked, straight, brood, narrow, long, short, clean, dirty, rich, poor, high, low, lordly, mean and quearly named, from Bird Cage Walk to Regeut and Quean Vic­toria streets. Hundreds o! them are densely thronged, and as difficult to cross aa Broadway, New York, in its most orowdeil parts. The modes of travel are by cabs, handsoms and om­nibuses, whioh are numbered consecu­tively. I do not know how many there are, but the numbers are all placed con­spicuously in 3ight, and the highest I have S8CD Is 18,225. Ttie rates a te ; one shilling for two persons any distance not exceeding a mile. Added to these are the underground, surface and ele­vated railroads, or trams, m they oali those which run through the streets. The other day, in going , to Moody’s and Sankey’s meeting, wo took the elevated road. In the section through whioh we passed, the bouses aro low arid our road on a level with the roofs, made it appear aa if we were passing through a great forest of ohimneys In our trip to tbo Crystal Palace, wo start­ed in a tunnel; a mile or two brought us into daylight, and a little farther .on we were elevated. In one place I no­ticed a railroad below us, and twenty feet or b o . below that was the street of the city. Still on there was a bridge for a wagon way above us, so I said we were traveling in the third story of what might bs called four stones of roads.

There are large numbers of polide- men'in London, and it lakes them all to keep the streefs in order. We were on the top of an omnibus one day, and it was amazing to soo the crowds and

iockadf of horses, veiohels and men. Biding along Bishop's Gate street, when we came to Thread Needle street, .wo were in a perfect tangle, and It took the police' sometime to undo the knot Notwithstanding all their care, I under­stand, there are over 800 people killed here annually b y : accident in the streets.

The River Thamea runs through tho heart of the oity, and is- narrow, dark and muddy. The tide rises about 25 feat and the ouirrenl is very strong. En tering a boat one day and noticing the water was low, I said to the captain at the gangway ; “The tidaisout.”- "No,” ■laid h e ," ’hito neither haut nor bin,aits ’a ff a n ’ ’aff.” 10 , 1s it ,” said I»

There are eleven bridge* which span the river, all of them nobla structures. The London Bridge is ihe greatest thoroughfare. It is 928 feet long, haa

.five granite arches resting on' as many piers, costing $10,000,000, and it is es­timated that 7,800,000 vehioles and SO,'

500,000 foot people cross it in a year. The Victoria ^Embankment runs along tha north bank of tho Thames, from Blackfriora to Westminster Uridgo, a distance of a mile and a'half, I t is si stone wall, twenty, or thirty fast., high, from below low-wator mark, up to the level of the streets, and makes a mag­nificent promenade and roadway 300 feet wide. I t cost $10,000,000, and iB one of London’s most fashionable drives. Bro. Thornley and I walked it on a beautiful day and enjoyed it hugely.

The largo and euporb new Law Courts, or as we would say, Court House, in gothic architecture, cost $5,000,000. What most arrested our attention as wo passed through the vast corridors, was to Bee scores of law students, members of the bar, and judges, some of them not over 25 years old, and none of them very, far advanced, passing to and fro with quiok steps, each one wearing a powdered wig, even though they may have had lino black hair and plenty of it of their own. But then this is the fashion in tho London law courts, and all, not only submit, but take it on as a part of their official dignity. There are a great many squares and parks in London. The Bquares are generally email, and even the parks are not large. Resents’ Park contains 472 acres, Hyde Park 390, and 8t. James’ Park, in front of Buckingham, Palace, very muoh smaller. All, however, are well kept and beautiful. The Albert memorial,a. superb gothic monument, 175 feet high, is covered with statues, and com­posed of a gothic canopy, under which is a colossal statue of Princo Albert. I t ia the grandest 'monument we have seen in these lands'of. monuments, and would require many descriptive col­umns' to do i t justice. I asked how much it cost,' but they said ho one knew; I judge they do not care to have it known.' To say a million dpi: lara, would, I am quite sure, fall below the mark; While looking at:: find greatly admiring this monumental pile,. Bgentleman stopped up and said: “ I beg pardon, >,ir, is hot your name Stokes—E H . Stokes, of America?” I seemed to.,wake up as from a dream for it had. been so long since T had heard my name called by any one ex­cepting by Bro, Thornley, that I hardly knew what to muke of it, and looking at him . in surprise, isxclaimed, “ God bless you, or any ono else who can call my namo, or who ever Baw mo before.”11 Yea,” I continued, “ but, my dear sir, who are you?” “ Ob,” Baid ho “ didn’t I often go to Halsey Street Church in Newark. 1ST, J»,.when. you were pastor there,- and didn’t my wife, then a little girl,, go to your Sunday-school,; apd didn’t we.:both go so hear you, preach over and over again, and' didn’t we like to go, 3Bd didn't we get married at last, and we moved to Bostoa, and I am' pastor. of ' one of, the largest Baptist Churches in that city, sad my name is Seymour, Rev. Robt.G. Seymour, D, D., and m y wife’s name ib Mrs. Seymour, juBt as nice os she can be, whom. I haven't seen for six months, but am on my way home now und expect to spend Christmas, with her and the children and my dear congregation ” By this time, although I naver romembored to havo Been him before, and did not re­member his wife, for it haa been thirty years and more, yet we grasped eaoh other’* hands and both felt like Bhout ing right there in tho royal streets of Londuu, in front of hia majesty’s itn perial mocaorial monument. When we parted, I said to h im : “ Give my lovo to your wife and all'of the children, nose of whom I have seen, and may you have a happy Christmas together and many of them.” Oh what a. luxury in a strange land to see somebody whom you have hoard of or soon be fore. You will therefore pardon the above enthusiasm.

But I wanted to toll you about the great Smithtielcl markets, covering four or five seres, filled with the finest beef, veal, lamb, pork, SeU and auch things which the Uuitod Kingdom cau furnish. Near by is the venerable Churoh of St, Bartholomew the Great, founded in A.D. 1102, and a hundred yards or bo South, the Bpot where th ey . burned the martyrs in 1655-6 7. Wo took off our hate as we rend the inscription, and joined in the “ To Damn,” the Noble army of tho martyrs praise thee.”

. Politeness..Sir Arthur Helps had the happy fac­

ulty of putting expressions of wisdom into a few words. It was he who said “ familiarity should not; swallow up- courtesy;” Probably one half , of the rudeness oi youths of ■ this .Jay, that later in life will develop into brutality; is due to the- failure of parents to en- force in the family circle the rules of courtesy,. The son or.daughter who is discourteous to membera of the family because of familiarity with them ia very likely to.prove rude and overbearing to others and very. certain to be a tyrant in the household over which he or Bhe may be called on to preside. There ia o f this day undeniable imong the rising generation & lack >f courteous demean­or ts ihe family. Of all places'in the world, let the boy understand, home is the place where he should- speak the gentlest and be the moat kindly, and there ia the. >s!scg o f all where court­eous demeanor should prevail. The lad who is rude' to his' sister, imperti­nent to his mother and vulgar in hia .home will prove a «ad husband for a suffering wife and a cruel father to un­fortunate children. The place for po­liteness, as Helps puts it, is where we mostly think it superfluous.

.How to Cure Gossip, .-Adopt this rulo. Let all who come

to you with stories about mutual ac­quaintance know.-that ysa intend, as soot! as your duties allow; to wait *jpofi the parties spoken of disparagingly, and repent just what was said, and who said it. Still better, take out your memor­andum book and ask tbe party to allow you to copy the wordB, bo that you can make no mistake.

You will have to do this probably not more than three times. I t will fly among your acquaintances on the wings of the gossips, and persons who come to talk against other persons in your presence will bogin to feel as if they were testifying under oath.

But, you ask, “ Will it not be mean to go off and detail conversation ?” Not at all when your interlooutor under­stands tbat ho muBt not talk against an absent person in your presence without expecting you to convey the words to tho absent person, and tho namo of tho speaker. Moreover, what right has any man or woman to approach you and bind you to aecreoy, and then poison your mind against another? If there be any difference in your obligations, are you not bound more to the man who is iibseut than the man who ia present ? If you can thus help to kill gossip it will riot matter if you loso a friend or two;. Buch friends as these, who talk against others to you, are the very persona to talk against you to them.

Try our rule. We know it to be good. We use it. It is known in the church of whioh we are pastor, that if any one speaks to us disparagingly of an absent member, we iiold.it our duty to go to that absent member immediately ' and report the conversation and the nam es; or, still better, to make tho party dis­paraging face the party disparaged. We have almost none of this to do. Amid the many annoyances whioh necessarily come to. the pastor of i- large church, and still larger congregation, we think

that we are as free from tho anuoyance of gossips as it is possible for a man to be who lives amongst his fellow m en .. '.

Try our rule,, try it faithfully, with meekness and charity, and if it does hot work well let us know.—Rev. Dr. Deans.

W hat now powers, what new experi­ences may not follow wben the spirit breathes ethorial air,, and the eyes look on the whiteness; of God’s throne i It is the specialty of m an, that bis nature is an unsouhdeJ deep. A handful of acorns cover a mountain-side with for estB, a sufficient mystery when we think of it, but there it ends, in simple, im ­mense reproduction; But man, being made in the. image of God,.is stored with endleaa capacities, for he. has a long journey before him down the end-; less ages, and new powers-will be reed­ed fresh wings, aS he mounts into higher- atmospheres., Such a thame must be touched reverently, but I know nothing to forbid us regarding tho soul of man as ft seed dropped from God’s own self inlo this earthy soil, here to begin its endless growth back towards its source, an end never to bo attained, because limiting ccnditons havo bean assumed, but still at an ever lessoning distance. What other dream can cover bo well the majesty and mystery'of our nature?

■you can just let them read on, aed they will come to it. It ia this, I used to hearbefare coming to this country that the water on the Continent was bo bad, that it made travelers sick, and that Americans, , evert though' temperance people at home, must, .when they go abroad, use wine.if, they would keep in health. Now, I wish to nay, that both Bro. Thornley and myself, have found the water m thia country excellent, and while I do not remember that -we have sat.down to a table once since we left homa, that Irave not wine and other, liquors oh them, and - ; 4 have repeated­ly, been urged to drink, and sometimes where it seemed rude and impolite to decline, , vet we have uniformly refused, aafl I am very thankful to our heaven­ly Father that thus far pur health is excellent. All tbe people, l;Ulie; gen- tlonien and children, arousld ua drink their wine, yet wn still 'ho ld to cold water. Some times the people amile st our simplicity, but not minding, we still hold on.

Brussels, Jan. 4,1884.

Twelve Years Old and Under,B Y ilEV . E. U . BTOKE3, D. D.

The other day vs were going along the B treo ta of Brussels, aud hearing a wonderful clattering behind us, turned to see what was the matter. W hat do you think it was? Well, there were five little children, fivs or ?ix years old, each of them had two feet, and each . of their feet, tec in all, had on a thick heavy wooden shoe, (a»any of the poorer people -here wear, wooden shoes) and the little, feet thus shod, were going just aa hard and fast as. they- could go, and the street?, being payed with Btone, you may be sure, they made some noise; These' «ioe3" ?»ere not only made of wood but they' were very rough, clumsy, sad aaust have been to tender feet, uh- comfortable, but the little bare headed urchins seemed just as happy as if they had on the finest boots, and wore slay­ing on bru8sels carpets. You will all find, somo day, young readers, that it is not bo much what we have, as what we are, that makes u b happy. .

Another thing I noticed in Brussels. They make the dogs work. I suppose we saw, all told, hundreds of carts, some larger and some smaller, all well, and some quite heavily loaded, drawn by dogs. Some draw coal, some produce, a good many of them have cans filled with milk, othora vegetables from the suburbs of the city, and ono I saw on its homeward way with quite a numbor 8f bundles of one kind and another, to­gether with a woman sitting comfort­ably in tbo midst, and a boy, her son I presume, led the dog, which he occa­sionally whipped up, while the dog, poor follow, pulled for dear life, panting along, with tongue out, longing for home, Thoir carts all had little shafts, and the doga had a poor kind of har­ness with which they wore hitched to them. After awhile we saw another kind, A Port of hand cart, with a collar fixed to the axeltrea, through which they slipped the dog’s head mid neck, which brought him right under the body of the cart, mid pioiected him from being run over'by horses, and at the same time placing him in a belter position for doing his work. Tiio same day we Baw a dog,either too lazy to work or nothing to do, I am not sure which, while another dog came along hitched to a cart. The idle dog pitched on the one at work. The working dog stop­ped, and a tussle commenced. A crowd gathered of course. But the cart-dog conquered. Good I So ho ought. That isjuBt the way it ia everywhere. Some people too lazy to work, snarl and bark and etrike at those who do, and I wish like the idle dog in Brussels, they might get whipped evory time. -

Now there is ono thing more I want to tell you, than close,this letter. I tell you, rathor than tbe older folks, because a good many o f tho older people aro kind of set in their ways, and it might not do much good to tell them. I don’t want you to tell them what I say either, but if you see them reading this article,

Circumstances v b . Gsd.BY MARY O. CLARK,

will need to call on God for help, and tho "Baal” whom they now worship will not heed them. Let us Bay to ail Buch, turn to the true God now while Ho is waiting to help and save. Those who are out of the fold of Jesus, and depend on outward circumstances for their happiness, will find these circum- Btancca a broken cistern from which they can draw no water in the time of extremity, but to the Christian God- is: above all circumstances and makes ‘‘all things work togethor for good to them who love Him.

Now let us look again a t Elijah; hia turn has come; again the altar ia erect­ed, a trench around it, tbe wood ia put in order, the sacrifice laid on, and four barrels of water were three times emptied over the altar and over the .wood. Elijah knew in whom lie trust­ed, he knew God’a fire could consume sacrifice wood and wator, they only in- . creased the greatness of His power. Blessed be God! tbe answer came. God heard hia servant’s prayer, arid He who promised “never to leave nor forsake” His own, answered by a coneu miag fire, for the word assures us that “ when the fire of the Lord fell, it consumed the sacrifice, tha wood, the stones, the dust and licked up the water that was in the trench I”

We hava nothing to fear, Elijah's God is our God. Blessed be His name for­ever. Let us trust and not bo afraid, and our God will deliver, and glorify Himaeli in his children, no matter what their surrounding ciroumatances, for it is true, that

" Deup In unfflthomnblc m ines Of nuver failing skill,

l ie treasures up liia bright denlcnfl,'And works UlH aoTOroigu wllT.''

Practical Beform.

How true it is that God ia greater than circumstances. We have often heard the tempted child of God say, O, if my circumstances were different I could live a more devoted life. Lot us take a glimpse a t the life of that grand old prophet, Elijah, alone with his God, on Mouut Carmel. Humanly speaking, alono. Arrayed, in striking contrast against him, were four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, besides the four hundred voluptuous prophets of the groves who ato at wicked Jezebel's table. Circumstances were eoomingly against him, but. what were they compared to tho infinite power of his God?

Elijah called them to Mount Carmel, he ordered iwo bullocks to be slain, cut in picces, and laid on wood, giving thorn the opportunity of calling on their God first, No fire was put under tho wood, for tho God that answered-by fire from heaven and consumed thesnorifice —Ho was to be recognized as the true God, And they took the bullock and dressed it, and laid it on tho wood, but put no fire undor. Then these four hundred prophets called upon Baal from early morning until the ti«ne of the evening sacrifice, out wo are told11 that thera was noitner voice, nor any U> answer nor any tuat regarded.”

W hat a sad truth I Does it not vivid­ly picture the wordlmgs who go with the inulitude, and seek pleasures from for-, bidden sources? A time will come in thoir life, sooner or later, when they.

One ot our daily papers recently pub­lished an article, which if universally read, mado every Christian heart rejoice in the prospect, a t least, of “ a better day hastening on.” No longer will an appropriation of $800 be made annually for tobacco for the use of the inmates of tbe Philadelphia county prison, but $200 will be devoted to a library.

After testing tho experiment of de­priving the prisoners ot this filthy weed and finding their health in a better con­dition, the authorities resolved to strike it from the list of necessary supplies, for whioh every one interested in the temperance work, and certainly every Christian, will eay, “ Praise the Lord !" W e pray also that tha “hot water” may bea s uccussful substitute for liquor.

Bro. Liilagore. says .“ Tobacco is the twin sister to whiskey.’1 While many Christian men plead lame exouses for uaing tobacco, thoy would be horrified to be associated with druDkarde.

Some time ago a prominent minister after preaching a good temperance Ber- mon in one of our large oity ohurches, was invited to dine with one of his old friends, a member of the church. In this family was a young man, not long converted and who had made repeated attempts to give up the use of tobacco, but observing ministers, official and private members of the church continue its use, thought it no harm, and in this way tried to ease his conscience. Altar dinner the temperance lecturer asked the daughter of the gentleman with ■whom ho dined, if she had any objec­tions to his smoking. The lady certain­ly looked anpriaed, and most emphati­cally answered, yea i Finding no con­veniences for indulging such a dapravai appetite, ha soon took his departure, leaving anything bu t a salutary influ­ence on the family. Evou the. young nrnu could not but condemn such gross inconsistency. How much Borrow, how many oitter tears, liow much money would have been saved, had thiB young man been influenced by his older brethren in the oburch to surrender en­tirely to God and forsake every evil appetite. From umoking he went to drinking, and not until inuoh money, comfort'and happiness was lost, were nis eyes opened to find himaelf far away from thu tiaviour, who is always ready to welcome tho wanderer back to the fold. Will all who road this offer a prayer in faith that this person may not only be saved from the faintest appetite for liquor, but also for tobacco, which ia evidently injuring bis health. Thank God, there ia a salvation whioh saves to the uttermost, destroying all carnal appetites aud lusts, able to make and. keep ub pure, through tho blood of Jesus. * L. H . K.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1884.

Some of our mail packages were mis­directed last wook, a n d loft expectant readers several days without the Rue- o r d . When a n accident of this kind occurs wo aro likely to hear thunder, If any are yot unBipplied, ploaso lot us know.

“ Of course,!’ writes a distant reador,' “ Theso letters of Dr.Stokes will be pub­

lished in u volume, and if so, put me down for tho first copy." We are not B0 8uro about this matter. I t is by no meanB certain—hardly probable. So make the most of them in tbeir pres­ent form.

A postal from Rookford, 111., to Bro. VanHorn, of Asbury Park, gives an ac­count of a thanksgiving jubilee, over 1,000 souls convorted under the labors of Rsv. Thomas Harrison in that town. Harrison goes next to the city of St, Louis.

Our German sistor, whose alio and cm, ndo we have not heard in the con­gregation ainco the Summer, scorns to bo onjoying the largest sbaro of the presont revival spirit at St. Paul’s. Wlioover else may be timid, she enjoys the largest liberty, and sometimes over­steps Wesloy’s rule by being a little too long and too loud.

We notice in some of the papers a report that oreditors are becoming im­patient, and pi'pcoedings have begun againBt the Round Lake Camp Meeting Association, to rocover something of its $100,000 of debt. The property is in such fino condition at present, except­ing its financial burden, that we hope such a charming resort will not fall into serious trouble.

Dr. Stolce3 writes to us from under tho shadow of the Cologne Cathedral, Jan. 7. Ho was far away from the fogs of London, but among a French speak­ing people exclusively,' ho and Bro. Thornley found it difficult to get along. Wo shall lot him tell his embarrass­ments in next week’s letter from Brus­sels and Waterloo. The travelers have by this time reaohed the famous Capi- toline Hill, and aro comfortably quar­tered in Romo.

Tbo “ breeze” reported in Dr. J. P. Newman’s Church, New York, last week, in whioh a whole conservatory of glass houses wore incontinently smashed seems to havo left the spirit of tho pop­ular pastor as unruffled as a June morn­ing. His “ reception,” subsequent t<> tho above “unpleasantness,” turned into an ovation, and he ia supposed still to “hold the fort.” There is talk of Bend­ing him to tho QBnoral Conference, in the same character in which Dr. Wm. Taylor assumes as a local preacher.

H. W. Douglas, Esq., assistant pub­lisher and general subscription agent of the Christian at Work, made us a friendly call on Wednesday. This vet­eran newspaper man, who iB so widely and favorably known in Methodist cir­cles, ie fortunate in being the represen­tative of one of tho best family relig­ious papers published at present. Tho

, Christian at Work has always onjoyed a first rate reputation for editorial ability anil evangelical purity and strength, but never higher than of late. Con-

\ trolled by no particular denomination, it suits and serves thom all,'bo far as they appreciate the beat stylo of relig­ious papor that ingeunity and large ox-

; porience can make. No wondor it ie succeeding so well.

The report appearing last Saturday morning of tbo fearful wreck ol a South­ern bound steamer just out of the port of Boston, w ith. the loss of a hundred lives, almost .curdles one’s blood. Tho

. pasaongers were mostly Booking a sunny dim e to avoid the rigors of winter. Many wero delicate invalids; but on that dangerous ledge of rock oil' Gay Head, in a furious storm, (hoy were e i tb o r swept away in sudden death, or suffered so intensely in tbe cold that they prayed to die as a relief from mis­ery. Dr. Wythe and family had just gone to soa, and Mr. and Mrs. Goo. W. Evans intend Bailing next Thursday. Tbo harrowing circumstances of the abovo wreck bring our own immediate friends into prominent romembrance, and induce moro ardont prayer for their protection amid tho perils of the deep,

-. and thoirsafety, until they return again, us we hope, in renewed health.

Rov. J.'S.

“ O, for a R e c o r d !” was the repeated exclamation of two portly Ocean Grov­ers ns they took boat from Dover to Calias, and began the tour of the conti­nent of Europe. “,0, for an Ocean Grove R e c o r d 1” was still the cry as they Btruck the R h in e , and reached the rugged defiles of Switzerland. Even on the classic Camo, we suppose, not hav­ing seen a copy of this paper sinoe Dec. 8j they still longed for a sight of it.

Sr. Hanlon at St. Paul’s.Last Sabbath was a thoroughly wintry

day at Ocean Grove. The morning waa quite unpropitious, yet a good con­gregation assembled for divine service. Dr. Hanlon, of Pennington Seminary, preached one of hia ablest sermons from the text, Romans 8:14.

The afternoon experience meeting, in tho Y. P. Temple, was also wolf attend­ed, and a cheerful religious spirit pre­vailed during the narration of experi-

ic o . ■ ' ■Oilly veterans, of whom a majority

were ladies, faced the keen eveningVkir, to attend evening service. Dr. Hanlon again occupied the pulpit and in a persuasive and forcible appeal, from Matt. 19,20, “What lack I yet urged the unconverted to give their hearts to Christ. The Bermon was followed by an earnest revival prayer-meeting, and the general impression was, " We have had a remarkably good day."

The improvements, including an organ, costing $3,600, were . paid for at the morning.service,-the people responding to the call of the pastor in a spirit of liberality unexcelled indeed. A halt was called to the giving, so freely were the subscription made. Tho pastor was assisted liy Rov. G. B. Wight, of Mill­ville, a former pastor greatly beloved; who preached an abla sormon in the morning, find .Rev. Dr. J. B. Graw, D.D., Presiding Elder, who preached one of his strong sermons in the evening. This church ia not only one of the most vig­orous in the New Jersey Conference,but the building is how 'one of tho moat elegant. A gracious revival of religion has been enjoyed of late, adding to the church nearly 101) souIb. With a church of increased capacity and greatly im­proved, with additional numbers and greater spiritual power, tbe outlook is ■cottainly very promising.. Tho church will entertain tbo next session of the Now Jersoy Conference, to be held iu March, under the presidency of Bishop Harris.

Philadelphia Notes.The beautiful extension for the accom­

modation of. the Sunday-school of Tioga m: E. Church, was dedicated in presence of a large congregation last Sabbath afternoon. The pastor, Rev. J, O. Wllr aon, whose aotivity found liberal back­ing in his official board, in the comple­tion of this fine improvement, was as­sisted by Rev. Joseph Welsh, Presiding Elder, and the editor of the Ocean Grove R ecobd in the services. Tbe building; furnishing, Ac., cost $2,400, but the con­tributions of tho day, morning,. after­noon and night footed up $3,000. Well done for Bro, Wilson and Tioga.

Tbe most practical and sensible speech we have listened to in a long while, at Preacher’s meeting, was delivered last Monday morning by Rev, Dr. James Portor on the question “ How to recoil men.” Mere perfunctory, singing, pray­ing and preaching at protracted meet­ings, he said was in a great measure.in­operative and useless.. Some incidents from hiB own early ministry were given with feeiing, and fired the hearts of the brethren to an unwonted degree of enthusiasm.

Rev. G. W. Miller, of Spring Garden St. Church, is lying very ill, and intense solicitude is felt by his ministerial brethren and congregation for his safe aurviva! of needed surgioal skill, in the delicate condition of hiB case. He has heroically labored for years under disa­bilities brought on by a deaper&te wound received in the battle of the wilderness. To live, or suffer on and die seems to be the issue. Dr. Agnew has charge of the operation, and a week or two will deter­mine the result'. . ■ - ‘ .

Rev. Wm. Swindells has the work weli in hand, looking to the entertain­ment of the General Conference in May. The four or five hundred delegates ex­pected ought to be "apportioned” out to the several churches, according to their status, and for consistency cakc-, every parsonage ought to take care of at least two porsons. Lot the pastors lead, and there will be no lack of hos pitality among the people.•';.Rev. S.’ Barnes, pastor of old St.

Georges, has the honor once more to entertain the session of the Philadelphia Conference in March. Ho did so well a t Frankford, that nobody anticipates embarrasment this year, and yet, he m uB t have the active] and hearty co­operation of all the pastors in the city, in the arrangements; necessary to en­tertain so large a body.

A great wave of sorrow came in . on tbe hearts of the preachers last Mon­day, when the death of Mrs. JoneB, wife of Rev. Bro. Jones of Eden M. E. Church, Lehigh avenue, was announced aa having occurred on the morning of that . day. She was a model pastor’s wife, in her uctivo labors, and godly in­fluence. .

Rev. T. W. Simpers, pastor a t Chest­nut Hill, iB roported to be in a vory pre- cariouB condition of health, and some apprehensions are folt as to hia perma­nent recovery.

Tho Cold Pulpit,In tho pwt week of January, while

the thermometer got down towards the! zero point; Christian believers assembled all oyer the country to observe the week of prayer; and one day was devoted es­pecially to “the churches," I t seems appropriate io consider at this time the subject of the cold pulpit; for where the pulpit is cold how can the minister preach to edification ? - And here ho reference is made to pulpits—we know of B u ch—where the minister can only, make himself comfortable by wearing hia overcoat, but t o th o B e pulpits where the preaching is ao very intellectual that it makes no appeal to the feeling. And here we are brought face to face with an old difficulty—that of confound­ing the deeper feeling with the superfi­cial emotion; But they are widely dif­ferent—quite as much so as tho purely intellectual difiera from the superficially emotional, Wbat with tbe opening up of tbe vast numbers of periodicals, and with the stimulus to thought to which this century has given birth, it would be strange if the sermon, did not more or loss show itself susceptible to these influences. And that it has, the marked intellectual charaoter Of the preaching of to-day fully illustrates, Andiyetj gaining power as the sermon has in one direction; it can be scarcely doubted that it bos correspondingly lost in an­other.—Christian al Work.

Woman’s Christian Tompsranoo UnionThe 4 o’clock prayor meeting of last

Sunday was held in the Baptist Church, Asbury Park, and was led by Rev. G. W. Treat, I t was one of interest and profit to dll present. Mrs. Dr. Crane addressed the congregation of the A. M. E. Zion Church last Sunday evening ou the subject of temperance. It is. their desire to have a temperance talk or sermon every month, whioh will be granted with pleasure by the sooiety.

Next Friday evening at 7-30, in Cen­tral Hall; under the' auspice* of this Society,; Mrs. W. H. Boole will deliver her popular lecture, “ Deborah in Bat­tle.” The lecture will be freo, and all are cordially invited to come to hear it.

Juat at this season our Temperance Union’s all over the State are as busy as bo many bee hives. There are so many irrepressible Methodists in them,that the movement has no chance to stagnate. “ Tho world ib iny pariah,” said our great founder. Let us take a look abroad and Bee what his grand army of followers are doing. “ Go ye into all the world and preach the goapBl unto every creature,” said one greater than Wesley. I t is with a feeling of exulta­tion that we Bean the universe and see what his vast army of followers are ac­complishing in the temperance field bb well aa in other Christian work.. From England we learn that tho IJritiah Wo­men's Tempernnce Association were never so successful as they have been during thepust ypar. They are steadily growing in numbers and influence. Rev. Charles Garrett, ex-preaidont of the Wesleyan Conference, said it was the'action of the British women in pe­titioning Parliament for Sunday -.closing of public houses th a tj mado him atir up the great Methodist churches to send in their petitions alao. There ia a strong temperance feeling throughout England ana Scotland. Brewers aro growling over their diminishing profits, which means that much more bread where it is most needed. Tlie Government no­tices a decrease in the liquor revenues; which it can well afford to do without. Speaking of the great brewers callB to mind a witticism for which the Union Signal is responaible. I t seems the EngliBh temperance people are very jealous of John Bright's friendship with Mr. Baas, the great “pale ale” man, whom he recently visited, and succeed­ed in taking from the upper .waters of the river some unusually heavy salinon. The Alliance Nevn oommenta, “ Yes, but it is Mr. Baas, the brewer, who has landed the biggest salmon—and alas,! the. .Brightest.” Seventeen thousand pledges have been , taken in Spurgeon’s tabernacle, London, during the year past. Last fall there waa presented to the House of Lords in a single day three petitions bearing nearly two hundred thousand Bigtiaturea in favor qf tho Sun­day closing of drinking' saloons iu Eng­land.

Tho Duke of Westminster, an im­mense properly owner of London, allows no intoxicating liquor to be sold in any building on any land rented from him. Five members of the Glad­stone miniatry are total abBtainore.

Less wine ia used at tho banquets and privato dinnerB of the groat. Loss beer is consumed «t rural festivities, and so if there Tvere space, we might go on multiplying p'rodfa of a great uprising for temperance in our staunch old mother country. We learn by a letter to the Union Signal 'from. the Empire, that at last Germany is awakening to the realization of a need ofsocial reform. Last spring a convention for. the organ ization of a “ German Union to prevent the abuse of spirituous drink,” was held in Kassel. A proclarnotion to the peo­ple has been, issued, representing with few exceptions, all political and relig­ious organizations, and all the higher Bocial conditions. A numbor of the most prominent physioians signed it; among whom was the directors of the “ Union for the care of publio health,” and tho president of the “ German Physician’s Union.” The in forest in' the subject of a temperance reform BeeuiB to be universal though no excite­ment attends it. The warfare iB to he waged: againtst whiskey alone, 'no notice Beeme to be taken of the universal habit of beer drinking, but with .the first demon anihildted the next will follow as a natural consequence. Hear what the Emperor; William said to three hundred young men, of tbe Y. M. C. A. of Potidam, Brandenburg and Berlin, “ You do well to gather the young men into'associations; these prevent them from going to tbe beer housOB.”

France has her temperance organiza­tions under way. The puator of tho American Chapol in Paris, has request­ed our Connecticut president, Mrs. Treadwell, to organize a Union in con­nection with his church during horatay there. Miss de Broen’s gospel work among tho communists ofPcre la Chase includes this branch of Christian work also. Tho McAll miaaion brings 899, 000 souls under Chriatian induonce.

; Wo havo not spaco to speak hero of

tho temperance work, in India as it de­serves, but they have, their blue ribbon societies, and the results of the reform movement among the natives and the English residents is eriongh to fill every Christian heart with deepest gratitude..

Eoviva! in Camdan.The following noto. from one of our

friends now staying in Camden; will convey a very good idea of tho evange­list, Hamrnond’s way of. winning souls: Rev. E. Payson Hammond is conduct­ing meetings every day. at Trinity (Bap­tist) Cliurcb, in which the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Adams; and' the Methodist minis­ter, Rev. Mr. Sooy, of Cen ten ary Church; take much intorest. The meetings are union, ■ and all are cordially invited without reference to sect. Mr. H am ­mond says; ‘‘Catholiai and all; we doii’t:care what church'you belong to, wo only want your souls for Christ.”

In tho children’s meeting, many of the little ones profess conversion. At the close of their exercises yesterday, Mr. Hammond called the children up separately to tho platform and request­ed thom to speak of tbeir conversion, and how they knew it was so. Then he aaked if there were any others convert­ed to hold up their hands. These were also called up and asked where they went to church, &c.' Generally.,- they were Methodists and Baptists, but some eeemed to be. there from all the churches. At the very last one little boy held up his hand. Mr. Hammond said “ What is your churoh, my boy?” He answer­ed, “ Quaker 1” “ A Quaker,” said Mr. Hammond; “ God bless the Quakers; come here my little fellow."’ And -ho soon had him up by him with his arm around him, asking when he came to Jesus, and satisfied- himself, as with the others, of his conversion. One little fellow wept so ho could hardly answer the questions, although encircled by Mr. Hammond's loving arm. 'i

On Sunday there was a large union children’s meeting. Invitations having been sent to every church, including the Episcopalian, to adjourn over after the closing of their own Sunday:BChools. The children seem to appreciate. Mr. Hammond’s loving • interest' in them. From appearances, however, there, re­main some yet to, be/brought in. A little, girl passing under my window in the evening, said in the moBt indignan t voice to her'little friend, “ Why, he actually asked m e if I didn’t think I ought to give m y heart to. the Lord.” Evidently she,didn’t think it was her "reasonable service.’’ .. Another- child was persuading her friend to go, who asked, “ What do. they dp ?” “ Why," eaid she, " they aok you if you are a .Christian^ and if you Bay no, why they", —and then they passed out of hearing. But it seemed to amuse them both. .

Mr. Hammond expects to labor hero the remainder of this week. On Sun- day Rev. Mr. Adams (Baptist) and Rev. Mr. Sooy (Methodist) exchanged pul­pits. We attended the former, and heard a most earnest pleading sermon by Mr. Adams on the text, “ The Master is come, and calioth for thee.” S.

Twelve Months Fro .M r . E ditor There appeared in

your issue of January. 13,1883, an arti­cle headed, “ A bad. habit abandoned,” stating my. reasons for - having given up the UBe of tobacco; On the 15th of the same month a postal was received from one who does not use tobacco, saying, the time was too .short to -be reliable as a test of cure, and desiring to hear again through the Ocean Grove R ecord at the expiration of a year. '

Since renouncing the habit, Nov. 29, 1882, only once has the tempter been successful in creating a desire, this de­sire only lasted, about ten minutes. When a user of tobacco we never rea lized that a tobacco user’s breath was as a rule offensive; since quitting its use however, thia fact lias been made ap­parent to us. I am more determined than over, not only to keep from uaing the weed myself, but do all J can to provont otliors from using it.

Colds,The most prevalent of all ailments

are colds, aflscting various parts of the body; “ they have ail seasons for the ir own,” and are the boginninjgs of more diseases than all other causes combined.. It bocomes, then, a;rnattor of tho first importance to know how to avoid colds, and how to got rid of them speedily when they attaok.us.:

The most frequent cause of colds is wet feet, or feet that remain for a long time damp and chilled from wearing too thin stockings. and shoes. I t iB probable that half of tho diseases peauj liar to women are induced in that way. It is . not the wetting of the feet that gives col^a, but the gradual evaporation of the moiature, which carries off the natural warmth of the body, thus caus­ing the blood to be chilled. The effect of chill is to dose tho pores of,the sk in ;. so that the waste particles of matter Cannot escape from the, body in this direction; but are thrown back a,nd thus poison the blood, , •

When it is not possible to take off the shoes and stockings, nnd dry and warm the feet,'promptly after getting them wet, it js better to let thorn remain' wot until we can attend to them properly. To.dry them in the sun o r before a fire, without taking off,shoes and stockings : and Bubstituting dry ones, is extremely hazardous. There is but little danger of taking cold after wetting the feet if we walk rapidly enough io keep, up the natural temperaturo of the body, and kVep on walking until wo reach some place where we can take off shoes and stockings and thoroughly dry them or change them for dry oneB. A cold is Ices likely , to result from a thorongh drenching of the whole body than from wetting the feet alone. v '

People Boldom ,take cold when thoy are.expqsed to .sudden lowering of the temperature of the air while they are .out of doors; they may have their, hands and feet .frost-bitten, and become almost unconscious from freezing, and yet escupe the dangers of an ordinary cold

A cold in tbo head may frequently be cut short if treated at once, by snuffing up the noao the fi|mes of,spirits ofcam­phor, ammonia or bay rum. . Thisrem- edy must be applied every few miumes to be effective. Iu the meantime the pationt should remain in a warm room, and avoid draughts ol air., If tho cold is not cured, i n . twenty?four hours, it will continue ten or, twelve days in spite of treatment, or if, neglected its offeots may laat a lifetime. Quids result in eerioua and fatal diseesea onlg when ne-. gleotcd. We have so often given, di­rections for .treating .neglected colds thqt it is hardly wo^th while to repeat them here... Remain.ini the house, and if necessary in bed, until the cold has disappeared, and then venture out cautiously at fust, as tho system is sen­sitive to fresh attacks for. several days afterrecovery.—Hall's Journal of Health.

SUMMER and WINTER HEALTH and PLEASURE RESORT. Capacity, 500.Passenger Elevator; Telegraph; Telephone; Amusement Rooms; Hot and Cold Sea Water and Electric Baths; Steam Heat; Enclosed Balconies; Sun Par­lor; high, dry. land; perfect drainage; health-giving breezes from the Ocean on: the East, and the vast pine forests on. the West,, which, with the high range of hills, protect the place from the cold Winter winds.

It is a popular fallacy that this coast is damp, cold and bleak in Winter. . As a matter of fact, the air here is the dryest of any part of the shore. It. is filled with the ozone of pines and sea to a remarkable degree, and the temperature is much warmer than in the cities or interior. Any scientist of estab­lished reputation will corroborate this statement. Ocean Grove combines the conveniences of the city and the health and quiet of the country, and is the . place / a r excellence for literary men and worn-out brain workers to rest and recuperate. *

Many visitors are annually benefited and cured of Pulmonary and Bronchial troubles, nervous exhaustion, general debility, kidney disease, and various other complaints. T H E S E ARE IM POR TANT FAC TS FOR INVALIDS and others who are contemplating the deprivation's of a wearisome arid expensive trip South.

Tho Sabbath,“ Tho Sabbath was made for man."

This waa tbe decision of Him who knew, of tho One who had established it from the first and who designs ita perpetua­tion to the last. Ho established it, not as a method for assorting His authority, but as ono by which ho proposed to bestow benedictions upon men. And, truly, few greater benedictions baa Qod bestowed upon ua than the gift of the holy Sabbath day. Saint Paul says all things are for us, things present and things to come, and aurely this ia no exaggeration, for tho earth and the full- nose thereof aro for ua. But what a de­ficiency in the provisions for our good there would have been, bad there been ho apecial institution aet apart as a . w minder of Him who created the worlds, to call up to otir thoughts our relations to Him j to invite us to study His will and contemplate H is. perfections; to excite us to devotion and meditation upon those things that make for our peace; to afford opportunities for that spiritual culture that brings the soul into sweet communion with God and all holy beings. ■■ With the revelation made, •and tho commandment givon to observe it as a holy day, with what difficulty our unapiritual natures listen to the revelation or obey the commandment 1 So absorbed do.we become in temporal concerns, so intont upon the prosecu­tion of worldly plans, so carried away with tho prospects of gain or enamored with tho hope of honors, that thought, and time, and action become consecra­ted to the obtaining of tbese things that perish with the using. The welfar0 of the soul is forgotten, Qod is out of mind, eternity infinitely distant, and the world, narrow aa it is aud transient, bounds and fixes the entire orbit of our vision. Wealth may increase and honors abound, but the soul becomes poorer and poorer; the honors that come from God and aro lasting, rocede further and further from us.

How ofton is this, the cose with us, notwithstanding the Sabbath comes to remind us of different and more im­portant things 1 If there were no Sab­bath, no day of rest, no season conse­crated to tho cultivation of our religious natures, the weariness of life would be­come oppressive, its burdens unbear­able, and our spiritual aspirations, the divinest given us, would soon cease to Btir us; they would die. Let the Sab­bath, with wUat of hallowed thought and memories it brings us, become an institution of the past and the condi­tions of life would assume a severity

' not unlike that of the slave, hopelessly toiling on, with no prospect of relief. Now it brings reet, and if tho soul be at

. one with God, a calm ^eace, hours of quiet contemplation of the past, fur­nishing materials for the impiovement of the fu tu reb rings us an open sanc­tuary with all ite inspirations and ole- vating influences; calls up a thousand recollections of a home that was and is not which we can ill afford to lose, and sheds a brightness upon the borne tbat ib, prophetic of tho home that is to come and never be removed. '

Yes, the Sabbath was made for man, just as tbe earth was, aa the seas anti they that dwell therein were, aa tbe fertility of vale and the strength of the mountains wero, as the glory of tbe dawn and tbe splendor of tbe sunset were, as all fruits of the earth and boasts of the field wore. All things for us. But becauso of this is man at lib­erty to use it as he listeth, for his pleas­ure, for his profit, for his debasement? Is he not under the strictest obligation to use it.ua the Giver, the Ordainer, has commanded ? Bcceause the fields bring forth for man, has bo tbo right to use their harvests for tbo purposes of glut­tony ? Because tho iron and gold were made for him, has ho a right to use the one to corrupt or the other to slay with ? All tbinga for man, tbe Sabbath as well as anything else, no more so, but for him to lift him up, to bring out what of divine there may be in him, to puri­fy bis soul, to olevflta his joys, to culti-

. vate him for the beautitudes of eternity. Tha Sabbath can only serve these ends when it ia hallowed on unto the Lord.— Pittsburgh Christian Advocate.
