“ Whut fru it had ye then In th o se tb ln rs whereof

}’o arc now nahumed ? for the end o f those things s death .”—Bom. 6 : 21.In tho natural world a harvest is always

preceded by' Heed-time;: fru it Is preceded by plant, bud and flower. These previous things do not always indicate ju s t what

> Is to follow as to quantity and qualityl because the Conditions of growth may change^ but they are as nearly related as cause and effect. ' Tbo '. analogy bolds good in tlie moral world. Certain m o ra l;causes produce their natural results, and whenever, the causes are set ‘in motion, the effect is

‘ sure, to follow sooner or Inter. .The fru it . of wrong-doing is as certain as are the. rewards of virtue,>.. This tru th is so self- evident that Paul does not stop to prove it, but sim ply asks-the question,.** W hat fru it bad ye then in those ,things'whereof ye are now ashamed ?V • , :

- ; By referring to 'the context we see what theso things nre to which reference is m ade; they had yielded tlieir members as servants to unclenuness, und “ to iniquity

’’ to iniquity.” ' Iri: o ther; word?.,they, had s lav e s^ o l^ ^ tp u s* ilttb lts and"proc^

tlces, which resulted in a natural gradation, going from sin to sin, ever lower iu their moral degradation. A moro specific statement of what these practices were, we may find by reading the first chapter of Romans, where a dark picture of heathen degradation is given. Read i t oyer with care, and see bow low and beastly a human being can become. •

Les us not be misled by the thought that such a condition is possible only under heathenism. W e are shocked by these sins because of their grossness ; remember that all sin ia essentially of the same nature, although it may assume various forma. Alcohol is always the same w hether it be in the ruby wine o r the fiery w hiskey;-death is tho sumo whether in a hovel o r a palace, whether in tho home surrounded by friends or on a lonely des- ert—deuth means-separation of soul and body, and the corruption of tho rem ains— sin means separation from God and tbe corruption of our moral nature.

In these .Romans sin became so gross that its murks wore left on the body in most loathsome forms. Such manifestations of sin are repulsive to us; but sin is

' not of tbe body whose members we may use for its commission; und as the effects of sin touch the whole man, of course the body must suffer. Sin has its seat in the moral nature; so there are sins of thought, desire, affection of will and purpose; tbese stain and pollute tbe soul. Such sins may be cherished and indulged nnd the soul saturated with these im purities, and yot very little of it visible to the world. Wo classify sins according to our standard of enormity, as tUey appear coarse, hateful, disgusting or injurious to us; but God looks at sin in its very essence, as stated

‘ in the context, “ Ye were free from righ teousness!,” Sin in its essence consists in opposition to God, a want of love toward him and of obedience to his commands, and the great sin is the rejection of Christ. “ This Is tho condemnation that ligh t lias come into the world, but m en loved darkness ruther than light, because their deeds were evil.”

Somo of the fruits of sin-were realized in this life, as the tex t Implies, “ W hat fruit bad ye in these things whereof ye are now ashamed?'* I t is a mistake to think that tho results of sin are only realized after death. Ono definition of sin is “ missing tho mark,” , falling to secure wbiit is expected. There is dissatisfaction, or wunt of seU:approval.. T his manifests itself In making excuses of vorlous kinds for tho wrongs wo do. Wo were tempted and could not resist; oc we wero over-per, suaded by f l i e r s ; wo could see no particular harm in it, aud wo m ust havo somo pleasure; and mauy others of a sim ilar character. And the pleasures wo derived are greatly magnified so as to cover up any

measure of disappointment th a t may be fe lt; . • - Y . . • •

Degeneration of our: moral nature', is constantly going on while sin reigns. Vico and virtue are progressive qualities. Like a cancer, sin in whatever form it Is cherished, is constantly- eating deeper, and. spreading-w ider, diffusing its poison throughout the wholo system. The man of pure thoughts and practices becomes more and more confirmed in purity of life. Likewise sinful habits are continually se-. curing a firmer hold j m aking it more difficu lt to change our course. T he man who could reperit a t 23 years old, a t 30; finds it more difficult; and thus wo become more enslaved as time advances. We fall to see th is . from day to day because one o f 'th e effects of sin is to stupefy our moral sensibilities, and.at other, times it bewitches us. Jae i and p e l Hull may be cited us illustrations. - There was first the butter in a lordly dish, and then the treacherous’ h a m . m er and nail, t o . pierce the brain. F irst tiie voluptuous caresses, arid then the shearing of the locks of strength.' /S in also corrupts Ttnd pollutes every part o f our moral nature, and leaves stains no human agency' can cleanse. I t is the leprosy o f the soul, and gradually but surely destroys npd ruins. Shame and self-reproach are also among tho effects produced. Ashamed that wo were so easily duped and enslaved and sold our manhood at so low a price. .

While these are among the present effects, the text also states the inevitable result of all unforgtven sin—111 the end of these things is death .'1 T his niean3 m ore than the dentil of the. body. N either does it convey the idea of extinction of being, N atural death meuus sop ii ratlbn: 0 f .soul and body,’ but .cohti nued existericb und er other conditions.-.The . death: referred -to in tho tex t means separation from God and a ll th a t .is g o o d .: I t Vis the realization p f the natural results of evil and tho inflic- tlon of the penalty of God’s violated iaw. Not ono of us can fully conceive w hat it means to be separated from all that is jjffdd^'Ono ' lifrS'trted'to^nid' i iy b y suppose - ing a large city surrounded by a wall so high it could not be scaled, and so thick-it could riot lie overthrown, with but one entrance. In to this should be placed all the vile aud abominable creatures that are outcasts fronvsociety rind; who hnveabnnd- oried themselves .to every, v ice ;■ all , re straints are to bo removed: w ithin the limits of this imaginary; city. If, any one, who doubts the existence of a bell, should bo placed in such a company under the conditions named, for. one year, he would have some idea of what the tex t means, that “ the end of these things is death.”

This illustration means mainly deprivation, but; this is not all. W hen 71 man breaks human law and the penalty is inflicted, he is not only deprived of his lib erty, his citizenship, and the privileges of homo and family,^ but be endutes.certu.ln things; such as a convict’s faro and trea tment, and the liard labor imposed, and the stern discipline, enforced. So the penalty of God’s law means more than banishm ent from the presence of God and the home of the good ;:it means a pluco with the devil and his angels.prepared for them ; it means the remorse and agony o f soul a gullty'consclence cun inflict; i t means the unspeakable woo of which Jesus speaks when ho tells us of the doom of those cities who had been greatly fuvored and yet repented not, •

On the theory that some try to make themselves believe that there is no hell what is to be done with thoso who refuse to go to heaven? There must be some place for such, and out of heaven is to be in hell. IIow preposterous is the thought that the great Father should 'tnke Into his pure and happy home such vile characters as- we refuse to entertain our home. Were ho to do so heaven \yould be turned into hell. Apply It to our own homes and see how it would work. Now it is pure, peaceful, happy, harmonious. I t uum bers say six persons. Introduce ;into such a homo six persons who are vile iu every particular, atid wbat kind of a home would you have? Wo have read recently, of the outlaw, Ilube Burrows, who in cold blood killed men by tho dozen. Also of another who outraged, and then killed two little girls returning from school. W hat is to be lione with such cases? These strike us as belug of such a severe character that all ure ready to say, they deserved only such a place a s• we believe hell to be. But iu the,sight of God is their sin any moro aggravating than tb& sin of rejecting Christ? Sodom had sunken very low in .the moral scale, and ye t Jesus said o f Capernaum , “ I t shall bo more tolerable for the land.of Sodom in tho day of judgm ent than for thee.” Tho inevitable result of all unfor- given sin, no m atter of w hat kind, whether gross or relined—is death, eternal death.

These things being'true', how we should

'h a te : sin of every description, a n d . a t the j same time what an intense anxiety i t should awaken in our hearts for the sinners l

. Power of ■Silence,A writer in the London F ricnd iquoted

in the Friend's. Jicoieio; says: “ I attended a meeting in St; Jam es’ Hall, Piccadilly, w here the em inent M ethodist m inister, H ugh Pride Hughes, was giving an ad-; dress on ‘Conscience.* ; I was told 2,600 people were present. After speaking with much power on. hypocrlcy, and tlie thousand Avays in which men excuse o r delude themselves in regard to the sins they love, a deep hush of solemnity seemed to overshadow the m eeting; we were in the very presence of God. T he spcuUer after a short pause, sa id : ‘ O, I do wish we could adopt. In all our meetings one of the practices o f the Society of Friends, and have a tim e of silen t meditation, so that God’s voice m ight bo heard w ithout distraction, and his truth sink lutp and saturate our heart and mind.’

“ In closing, ho s a id : . ‘T he constant sound of hum an voices, , telling o f pleas- tires or troubles, politics or so-called religious work, tends to drown the sound of the still, small voice of God.’ ”

Dr. Parker, of the City Tem ple, recently said: “ I believe in the quietism of the poet W ordsworth in relation to nature, and of George Fox in relation to the enlightenm ent and guidance o f the Holy Spirit. I t is possible for the noblest discourse, to be given in silence. God can do without us, and I want to encourage the' habit of occasional silence jh his house. We are living in such a busy, fussy age that what do you think we say if a few minutes of quietness occur in a meeting? We say, \ 0 , this is a Quaker meeting.’ Poor, foolish souls that we "are, cannot we keep silence ever so short a tim e? A service so called, that rattles along is said to be lively, and people say there Is sp irit in it. Yes, there is, but what kind of sp irit? When I cross the Atlantic, which I have dolie ^ten’litn e s rT '-ul\v^,T'feeefc‘“ tlie‘ very front point of the ship, that I may sit there alone for six hours a t a stretch; Men come to me wonderingly and say, ‘ W hat do you see here ?* I reply, * Nothing, but God.” T ha t answer always shortens the Interview. Such men see all they want in a few moments; others cannot; they, know the Divine Presence.; the Very a ir is alive, with God, and all the-white waves, as they come in kissing the ship, bring messages from far-away shores.” ' : -̂ •

,A deeply instructed w riter says: “ God wants a listening people. We say, ‘ Oh, I pray and seldom get an answer.* God says to us, ‘ W hen I spake ye did not hear.* Some of us have pured out our souls, perhaps by the hour together, and when we have had our say, we have not waited five minutes, perhups not five, seconds, to hear li is gracious words. We have knocked, and when He h a s . opened 'w e w e r e no longer there.’* ■

There are thousands of earnest people to-day.-who1 m istakenly expect some sign from heaven, w hich-is never promised; some mysterious shock which they call spiritual life. Our heavenly F ather does uot deal .with us by a series of shocks, but like a wise and kind earthly Father, He trains us by the quiet imd gentle controlling'power of love. . . .

The Title “ Reverend,”Wo are w illing to reverence the aged

pastor, and we did not hesitate to give that title to our beloved frleud, George Rogers, ju s t lu the s itue way we use the term “ the venerable Bede, o r . ‘ the ju d icious Hooker,’ ” but we are not prepared to reverence every stripling who ascends the pulpit; and, moreover, if we thought it due to others to call them reverend, we should still waut some reason for tlieir calling Miemselves so. I t seems rather odd to us that a man should p rin t ou his visiting card the fact that he is a rbvercud person. W hy does ho not occasionally vary the term, aud call him self estimable, amiable, talented, or beloved ? Would this seem odd? Is there any valid objection to such a use of adjectives after the fashion is once set by the use o f the word reverend? ■

If a man were to assume, tbe title of reverend for the first timo in history, it would look ridiculous, if not presum ptuous or profane. I t may bo said that the title reverend is only ono o f courtesy, but then so was the title of Rabbi., among the Jews, yet the disci pies.-wefe not to be called Rabbi. I t Is at atiy rate, a suspicious circumstance tliat am ong mankind no cla*s of persons should so commonly describe themselves by a pretentious title as the professed .m inisters of tin* lowly. Jesus. . . * ' \ •

•Peter and Paul were right, rover end

men, but they would have been tho last to have called themsel ves so. N o sensible person does reverence, us one jo t more because we assume the title. ; I t certainly is In some cases a flagrant misnomer, and its main use seems to' be the pestilent one of keeping up tlie,unscriptural distinction of clergy and laity.

We wonder when men first’ sought Out th is invention, a n d . from whose original mind did the-Original sin emanate I W e suspect th a t he lived in the Roman How. o f Vanity Fair, although the Rev. John Bunyan does not mention him. One thing is pretty certain, he did not flourish in the days of the Rev. Paul, the jlev . A polios, or tho Rov. Cephas.—* C. II . Spur {/eon.

Jesus at Capa-aaum.■ Dr. Talmai»e, in his account of a “ sail on Lake Galilee,” given last Sabbath, pre-. sontsone o f tlie miracles of Christ In his; unique style, as follows:H I see Capernaum as i t wa3 when Jesus was pastor of the church here. Look at tb:it^vea 11hy"oome^"tli‘e“ architecture, the marble front, the upholstery, the slaves in uniform at the doorway. - I t is the residence o f a courtier of-I-Ierod, probably Chuza by name, his wife Joanna, a Christian disciple. B ut something is the m atter. The slaves are in g rea t e.xcitement, and the courtier living there . .ru n sd o w n the front steps and.takes ;ii horse and puts him at full .run across the co u n try ^ T he- boy of tliat nobleman Is dying of typhoid1 fever. All the doctors have failed to give relief. But about five miles up the country, at Cana, there Is a Divine Doctpr, Jesus by name, and tbe agonized father has gone for h im ,' and with what earnestness those can understand who have had a dying child in the house.. This courtier cries to C hrist: “ Come down ere my child die!.” - * .

W hile the father is absent, and ut one o’clock in the afternoon, the people watch, ing the dying boy see a. change1 in the countenance, and Joanna; the mother* on one side of his couch says: “ W hy, this darling is getting well; the fever has broken; see the perspiration on Ids forehead; did any of y o u ' give him any new kind of m edicine?” “ Xo,” is the nns wcr. The.boy turns on his pillow, his delirium gone, and asks for som ething to eat and savs: “ W here's father? ” Oh,.he lias gone up to Cana to.'get a young Doctor of about' thirty-one years of age: But no doctor is needed uow in this .house at Capernaum. The people look a t the suti- dial to find what tim e of day it; is, and see it is ju s t p.ist noou, aud one o’clock. Then they start out and meet the re turning father,'and as stjon as they, couie w ithin speaking distauce they shout at tbe top of the ir voices: “.Your son is getting well.”11 Is it possible ? ” says tho father, “ W hen -dhl tho change for the better take p lace?” “ One o ’c lo ck ” is the answer. “ Why,” says the courtier; “ that is ju s t the hour th a t Jesus said t o . uio ‘ Thy son liveth.’ One o’clock I ”

As .they, gather a t the evening meal w hat gladness on all the countenances in that home a t Ciperiiaum ! .TJio affectionate mother, Joanna, has not had sleep for m any nights and she-now- falls off into^>a delightful slum ber. T ho father, CUn/.a, the Herodian courtier, worn out with aux- iety as well as by the rapid journey to and from Cana, is soon hi restful uncoascious- ness. Joanna was a Christian before, but I w arrant she was more of a Christian afterward. Did tho father Chuza accept the Christ W ho. h ad cured, his boy?- .Is there in all the earth a parent so ungrateful for the convalescence or restoration «,tf an in iperilled . child as not to go-in to a room and kneel dowu and make surrender to tho Almighty love that came, to tlie rescu e .' ' - . ’ * •• •

Do not mix up this case with tiie angry discussions about Christiau science, but

accept the doctrine, as old as tho Bible, tliat God does answer prayer for the sick. T hat Capernaum boy wns not tho only illustration of tho fact that p ray e r’ Is' m ightier than a typhoid fever. Arid there Is not a doctor Of large practice but has come into tho sick-room of somo hopeless case and, In a cheerful manner, if ho were, a Christian, or with a bewildered manner if ho wero a sceptic, said: “ Well, what have you been doing-w ith th is patient? W bat havo you been giving him ? The pulse is better. The crisis is past. After all, I th ink ho will get well.” Prayer will ye t he acknowledged in' the world’s materia inedica and the cry is ju s t as appro, priate. now as wheh Chuza, the courtier from Capernaum, uttered in Christ’s hearing : “ Come down ere my child die! If the prayer be not answered in the,way we wish, it is because Goil has something bette r for the child than earthly recovery, and there are. thousands of men and wom en now alive in answer t fathers’ and mothers’ prayers, myself.one of the m ultitude, For 1 havo heard my parents ty.-ll iiow when a t three years of ago scarlet fever seemed to have done its full work on nie nnd the physicians had said there was no more use of their coming atid they had left a few simple directions to make the rem aining hours peaceful, and accord- mg to the custom in those times in country places, tho neighbors hud already conic in and made the shroud, tbe forlorn caso suddenly brightened and tlie prayer “ Come down ere- my ch tlu . die! ” was answered iu 'a recovery thut has not been followed !)y‘a moment's sickness from th a t time to this. ■

Character Building.Much is slid in these modern times on

character building. I t is the favorite topic, among college . professors, editors and lecturer.* . Young men are drilled on this topic and oil its importance ip securing honorable and lucrative positions in society, all of which is well, provided that a good foundation* Is laid In a genuine Christian experience—and tliat ex'peri-- enco wrought in the heart by tho Holy Ghost and by the word Of God. The stones of that foundation must bo “ the. truth as i t Is iri . Jesus,” and cem ented-by tlie water-11 mo of grace.

Blit character .building as often treated otnits this.foundation-laying aud has refer- ence, mainly, to an honorable standing in society,- resulting from- integrity, 'intelligence, morai principle, and correct moral conduct, .But our Lord in bis prescription goes deeper and. shows that there is some excavating to bo done, some removing of debris to bo effected, in order to lay a good foundation—a foundation below tho frosts. lie . teaches that tho heart m ust be made good if the fruit, the character, be good. The fountain must be cleansed if the stream runs clear and sweet. T he character, must be built upon the rock o f “ hearing and doing the say- in g s” of him who is “ the way, the tru th ami the life.” . •. ■’

St. Jude, as an inspired architect, gives a plan for building a character after G od’s 41 pattern, shown in the mount.” “ But ye beloved, building yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, look- iug for. the mercy of our I/>rd , Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” (See ver. 20.) Consider the elements and the work which enter into this building:

1. “ Hoty faith,” *• the faith o f the oper- ution of God.”—Col. 2 :7 , 12. .

2.. “ The agency of the Holy Ghoat Ju d e 20. ’

U. “ P ray e r” in the Holy Ghost. See Rom. 8 :20 , 27. • :

4. Self-culture and keeping. “ Keep yourselves in the lovo of God.” “ The love of-God! without .which even faith “ the g if t of tongues,” the g ift of “ prophecy,” the penetrations into all “.myste r ie s” and “ all knowledge,” unbound ulms-glvlug aud martyrdom, are ail value-' less com paratively.'

p. The. Steadfast “ looking for the mercy o f our Lord Jesus uuto eternal life.” Christ as the foundation of genuine char, acter, and Christ as the hope of eternal life.. 0 .‘ for such character building! This will endure, when “ tlie rains descend, the floods come and the winds blow, and beat upon that house,” it being ‘•'founded, on a rock.” W ith this foundation and witli such .ah .agency and such eiements, let thu watchword .be onward in the march of im provem ent'and usefulness. f . . ■

She Glorified God.iiv nny. e. cot.r.rxs, d. u.

TJds is told of the poor woman in Christ’s day, who had’a spirit o f infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself."

Kvidently she was deeply afflicted, beyond any human conception. Jesus laid his bunds on h e r; she was .“ immediately made straight, and glorified God.°

The grace of hum ility seemed to pos- * sess her heart; for she, did not magnify . herself, nor any human • instrum entality; nor did she content herself with mere silent gratitude. She “ glorified God.”

Like tho Samaritan woman, who was happy to run with avidity, nnd tell others of the Divine prophet, whom she had met at Jacob’s well, and testify rejoicingly of her own deliverance from siu,—so this dreadfully, alllicted creature “ glorified God.” Such should be the testimony of every soul that the Lord has. released from Satan’s bondage. “ Lot .tho redeemed of the Lord say so.”.

So, too, with regard to oitr physical a il- . inents; our sicknesses; our deliverance from the jaws of death. LOveil ones watch over us, affectionately nurse us, and we are raised again, to enjoy our wonted health; We are unsparing in lauding tbe physician's skill. Tliat may be k ind ; but let us remember the words of tlie Pialm lst:“ I wus brought low, and He helped me.!*

We cannot pay the Lord,-but we can ut least praise H im : and whoso offereth praise, ghirilieth Him.

" Three Hcnrs at the Altar.”Of the receut “ Interstate Congress ” of

the -Salvation Army In New Yoak c ity ,the da i’y papers gave extended und very favorable reports, and the Adwcato publishes the following account of its closing consecration services:

The prelim inary meetings' on Sunday afternoon and evening io Asbury Church, the public demonstrations on Tuesday and Wednesday eveniugs a t Association H all, a t which many could hot fiml even.-tnnding room, und the closing.consecration services on Thursday evening a t Asbury Church will never be forgotten by those who attended them ; but the deep interest and spiritual power culminated In the lust, en titled *• Three Hours u t the Altar.” The meeting lasted three and a half hours. W ho cun characterise it? I t was a meeting for Christians, and included representative field and stuff -officers frotn 'tho Rockies to the Atlantic, Salvation soldiers from stations near, and members of evan. geltcal churches-from New York and vicinity. -Sotno unconverted hud doubtless found entrance. N ot all the exercises, can even he alluded to. Short experiences were given of .salvation received through the Army and of happy service in it, mingled with earnest exhortations. Hytnus of faith and victory were sung, music and clapping, helping to express, the general joy. Once it rose so high that a handkerchief was swung, others quickly joined it, and presently there was a generai Chau- tauqua salute; but it was to the enthroned Saviour King. But Army officers were about to return to their holy warfare. Hardships must he met,'mill possibly persecutions. Commissioner Booth and his wife made-searching appeals for thorough consecration. “ If there is the slightest thing wrong with you, come' forward imd have it made right." They begun to come: The ultur and seats1 three deep wero soon filled ... Prayers ascended.- Persons who had cnme forward were dl-misSed to m ake room for .others. Th.«y came. At leng th ,' for want of room in inm t.they Were asked to kneel In the aisles. Certainly between one nud two hundred, including many visitors, wer/i on their knees seeking full salvation.' I t ’ was a demonstration of tho Spirit and o f power. May the like be repeated throughout Christendom ! ' .

- Air, Pure or Putrid., Which ?WV. ANNA M. SKEEH.V ‘ . v

Oxygen. nnd.. nitrogen o r carbonic acid gas, catarrh, alcohol, nicotine . and su lphur, w hlcli? ; Except In such c ities;as P ittsburg and"Chicago, ami in the crowded tenements o f the poorest people, we take 'our choice of the air we breathe, or. are compelled to take the choice or.the ignorance o f other people. . . . ' .

Because air Is a colorless,, odorless thing, it seems.to some minds not to have any use, or not to exist. As long as it does nbt show enough; enmity, to rise up and knock a mnn, down, os H does sometimes, in mines and wells arid.'sewers, it Is left.undisturbed until it- becomes putrid. W hen N ature does take u p the ̂ ofiice of avenger^ and sweeps It from hill to valley, and through every unguarded, door and crevice, it is regarded as a deadly enemy, and is schemed against witli a resistance worthy of a besieged fort.. V

; A popular notion pre vails that warm air, is good air, even If It has been heated over several times, and th a t It is a m atter of economy to save nil the air that has ever had any heat applied to It. I t seems a pity to cool off the bed clothes in the morning, and chill the room, so the covers a re . carefully replaced while they are warm and tainted with the exhalations of the night. . .; .

Carbonic acid gas Is well known by chemists to be a deadly poison. I t exists free in pure air in proportion of one part to twenty.five hundred, but is tho chief elem ent io all a ir th a t has been breathed once by any .pair of lungs, whether of beast or hum an being. In Its uomixed state It extinguishes fire .and life. In its mixed stato, as .found In uuventllated rooms and churches; it clogs the luugs and poisons the blood. The lights are In full blaze, tho furnace In full blast, tho organ In full breeze (organs are not subjects for poison); tlie preacher in full zeal; but the people 1 What Is the matter with the dear people? Thoy keep examining the stained glass memorial windows as though they were looking for something not Inscribed there, though each one says, “ To the glory of.G od,” etc. Then they yawn, or fidget or sleep, and tbe preacher gets the heauache. T here may be uoth ing wrong but bad air, which saves a dollar's worth of coal and- costs a priceless amount of health and spirituality, not to say bad temper aud loas of average a ttendance.- r

In tho homes pareuts wonder why the children are restless all night, and pale and fretful all the time. Very often the secret Is that they breathe rum and tobacco In their father’s breuth, ond tho accum ulated carbonic acid gas, from all sources, for many days.

W hether or not the science of ventl- Intlou Is ouo of the*lodt arts we do not know, but aro sure it Is well worthy tho study of our rising architects, how to keep the a ir of buildings puro w ithout incurring the danger that exists in drafts. I t is well w orth tho attention of our political economists to consume tho smoko and refuse of our houses aud manufactories, in order that .the atmosphere may not bo black and rank with poisonous elements. Iu the meantime there is wanted inform ation and agitation, common sense and courage. ' Mauy people do not koow that consumption and general enervation are often duo to bad air, and .that fevers are due to deciiying matter In cellars aud. ash piles, or tlmt three-fourths of the work of the teacher and prencher are lost because hearers caunot concentrate utteution. The subject of ventilation, like all the rest of the health questions, uud other reforms, needs constaut stirring up; here a little, nnd there a little. Almost every sexton needs to bo lectured or replaced, and p u b Uo service halted till windows are opened. The common sense wanted is not to kill people with drafts, ond not to suppose we are going to be killed ..every tim e :wo seo a window open. The • imagination and habit play a largo part here. I t 'ta k e s courage .to le t sunlight in on carpets, and breezes In on luce curtains, and to 'say , “ Please don’t smoke my rooms and my carriage full of ulcotene.”

All our work of keeping people from killing thomselves aud us is an ungrateful service, but is greatly needed. If our work brings success as well as reproach wo can -afford to take for odr encourage ment, tho assurance lately expressed in new shape by a writer, but tho»e who are cannonaded now wlll.be/cano.ulzed by and by.— I f niuii Signal.

Washington Letter,

Washington, B . C., Nov. 20,1800.The tjnnrto centennial celebration of the

* Good Tem plars of this d istrict comes to a , close with the annual m eeting•: of tlie

’ Grand Lodge to-night. I t lias bpeh- a • great success. Sunday nlglit Dr.- Corey preached a strong sermon to the Tem plars and their friends. T he nature of it may

, be gathered from the. quotation: “ I f I were Presided—and I wish I were—-there should not ho a licensed saloon In the Distric t of Columbia. N o monarch in Europe has a more absolute power than the P resident, so far as tho government of this d istrict is concerned. I f I wero iu his place I would appoint three Commissioners who would never grant a single license And moreover, I would furnish them an army to sleep on its arms If necessary, to

. m aintain their position. Tlie saloon must go or tho Republic will die.”

Monday evening, which was the actual anniversary, found one of tho largest tom- perance audiences ever gathered together in "Washington assem bled to do honor to the noble order as woll as to tako part in tho celebration. W hen Past Grand Tem plar W hitney stated that the mem bership of tho organization was now more than 000,000 adults and 800,000 children the great audience with one accord burst forth into enthusiastic applause. l ie recalled the fact, not generally known, tliat Presid en t Lincoln and Admiral Fnrragut, although not members of auy o ther civic organization, were both Good Templars. Rev. J . I. Vance on behalf of tho 7*000 Godd Templars of the State of Virginia, bade the society God speed in its good work of raising the standard of the civilization of the land.

There was more applause when Dr. Orenhyateka, the . R igh t W orthy Grand

. Councillor o f tiie B ight W orthy Grand Lodge o f America, arose. I quote a few of his rem arks: “ I represent not only tho Good Templars, but also the Mohawk, nation, once the leading tribe o f the Six Na-

' tions. Though I may look so much like a white man that I m ight pass myself off for one, I do not wish to do so, for I am a full-blooded Indian nnd a t heart as much an Indian as any in the lunil. As a Pro- hlbitionist I am not ashamed to be an In*

’ dlan, for the Indians practiced total abstinence principles up to tlie tim e when their white brethren introduced whiskey among them.*’ Mrs. Bessie.Starr Jvenfer, of Toronto, Canada, made the closing address, indeed the principal one,, for she spoke

• f o r more t h a n a n h o u r , a n d m a n y of h e r w o rd s w e re In d e l ib ly , b u rn e d upon tlie m in d s o f h e r in te re s te d - h eaT ers . F o r in*

, stance, she saUl: “ T he liquor traffic cannot ex ist unless it thrive upou the heart of a woman, God pity the drunkard’s wife. God grant that she may not he your daugh-

‘ ter.- /.God gran t she may not be mine. B ut she: m ust be some tone’s daughter. Oh, rem em ber that!*’

The near approach of the opening of ; the n ex t; session of Congress. has caused

the W. C. T. U. to begin active work in a crusade for which they have been quietly preparing for some time; They propose to break up the smoking of cigarettes

- among boys, aud they aro going to. ask Congress to help the cause along by enacting a law providing a heavy penalty for Its violation, against tho sale of cigarettes

. or tobacco of any kind to boys under the ago of sixteen years. Mrs. Ile leu L. Bullock, national orgunizer of tlie W. C. T . U., is hero, and sho is actively engaged in this w ork,\vhich is very noavto her heart. Sho claims that the narcotic habit is tho root of the’ drinking habit, nnd th a t it should bo fought accordingly. . \

“ Buddhism,” suftl Kev. Dr. Udnkln, president of Howard .University, in a ser-

;m on replying to a recently published assault upou Christianity, “ antedates Christianity, six centuries. What has it doue for humanity a t large ? Biiddhlsm has none

. of the characteristics o f a universal religion, .which belong to Christianity. I t lias always been limited to oriental civilization; has always . remained ethnic. The religion which will pveniuully 1111 the world is the religion of the trium phing

. civilization. Christianity has uo nationality, is nfllxed tt) no locality. Jerusalem

. is no .mo.ro to' it than London or Washington. I t touches tho earth as the light of tho sun in the morning, only to illum inate It.”

Cardinal Gibbons cam e to Washington to perform the ceromouy oT blessing the new building of the IIouso of the Good Shepherd 'Monday morniug. A large num ber o f distinguished prelates of tho Catholic Church were preseut, including Bishop Foley, of . D etro it,-under whose special charge is the order of the sisters of tho Gpoil Shepheul In th is country. These sisters, do a great deal of good in the world, and that i t is appreciated by other denominations, was shown by the personal attendance of several, prom inent pvotestaht ministers a t this interesting ceremony.
