Moral and'Legal.Suasion- t •

: Judge P itm an,' in “Alcohol and the . S ta te A Discussion of tiie Problem of Law as Applied to thd Liquor Traffic,'’ published by the National Temperance Society, New York, shows tlie harmony between these two. means of promoting the cause of temperance in the follow­ing terse paragraphs from pages S5-.7.:

So far as. there being any antagonism ■between what is called ' 1 moral suasion” and.political action, or the coercive ac­tion of the law, the latter, is the out­growth and inevitable consequence of the former.. All this seems so obvious, and the re­

lation between moral and legal effort so simple, that it is discouraging to:find such paragraphs in the press as the fol­lowing. in the columns of an intelligent but conservativejpligitius weekly. Af­ter allusion to there having been found in a certain assembly “ two.opinions as to the policy of . prohibition,” it adds immediately: “ Tho success of reform clubs has shown clearly that it is possi­ble to resume tlie moraland educational methods which were so useful in the earlier days of the temperance move­ment.” . . - ^

Possible to mume them,! When arid by whqm have they , been abandoned ? WhileVtliese Rip Van Winkle . ".moral stiasionists” have been asleep, the friends of legal and moral suasion have been ever at work.

He then gives an extended exhibit,of the educational efforts of the Massachu­setts Temperance Alliance and National Temperance Society and Publication House, and says :

Will the advocates of moral suasion, pure and simple, show us their work by the -side of t'liis? Until they can. will they have the modesty to be silent ? If they are real friends of temperance, why don’t they use moral suasion? And when they shall h&ve persuaded them­selves they will have made an auspi­cious beginning.

Unity and Variety.Extremes meot. God is revealed unto

us in the infinitely great, and in the in­finitely little ; in his infinite, distance from us, ,and in his infinine nearness to

-."us.I in his overwhelming supremacy, and in his lowly condescension. Christ is revealed to us in his eternal power and Godhead, no less than in his hum­ble manhood. Man himself is revealed to himself, both in his sublime freedom and in his utter dependence. There is in all this not contradiction, but deepest harmony, Our zenith-is the nadir of the Hindus, which proves, not that the earth is a chaos, but a.cosmos—a sphere moving in perfect harmony.

Entering a mill one day, we found it filled with m achinery; there were wheels turning right and le ft; wheels turning horizontally, perpendicularly, toward the east and toward the west; .there were big wheels and little wheels, and wheels within wheels; running in dif­ferent directions and at different rates of speeds, with noise and clatter utterly perplexing and confusing to an unac­customed eye and ear.

Yet, obviously, they were all working to one result in obedience to some de­sign. and it was only thus that they

i could Work out the result. Their di­versity of motion waa n o t disorder, but a'harm ony resulting from combination and unity of purpose.

■; Ministers.. ' .Now arid then you meet with a min­

ister who. has more than an ordinary, degree of intellectual strength, and is well read in theology, but 1 icks good common sense. He does not take things by the, right handle, is visionary, and. i mpracticable, lists 110 sagacity, and such a man accomplishes but little-in Ills' profession,.and often brings it into con­tempt by his singular simplicity.

The story is told of an old farmer’s son who returned from college. He talked finely about the dignity of labor •and the chemical constituents of the soils. Spring wore into Summer, and Summer into Autumn, and no useful result came from his dissertations. One light at family prayers, the old farmer

exclaimed : “ 0, Lord ! thou hast given John a power of book larnin’ ; but we pray thee, give him a little gumption, too.” . :

■ By G-race. .Holiness is by grace* through faith,

as well as forgiveness; i t is not- by works of righteousness that men attain to holiness; it is by grace through faith. We must look to him and trust him for the grace that sanctifies. I t is the Spirit - that sanctifies; but the Holy Ghost

. comes to us as a gift of God, secured by the redemption work of Christ.

Desiring sanctification, we should come to God for it and seek it through Christ by the Spirit. . This is God’s way of holiness. When men seek it any­where else than in Christ, they seek it where i t is not to be found. When they seek it otherwise than; by the agency of the Holy Spirit they seek it in ‘a way in which it is not to be at­tained.

Blessed are the Meek!"The development of active energies is

an easy task ; but to be gentle.as Christ was gentle, in meekness to instruct those who oppose themselves,” to make one’s self of no reputation, this is a dif­ficult ta sk ; for this sets aside the high spirit of man, that the Spirit of Christ may rule in all things. I t is such an easy step from leading the people like a flock to lording it over God’s heritage; so natural after judging for one’s self to judge ihe consciences of others also ; so easy to forget that the angelic tongue may turn to a poor tinkling cymbal, arid all knowledge and all faith become nothing the moment charity collapses,

Arrogance, bickerings/ cliques, dog­matism, jealousies—what have they who speak of holiness;to do with un-

W e did imt make the world, but we may mend it, and must live in it. We shall find that it abounds with fools who are too dull to be employed, and knaves who are’ too sharp. The com­pound character is most common, and is that with which we have tire most'to tlO. . '

THE PHILADELPHIAN.

Looking out of-niy window n few i)iorning.< since, I saw h. very small

' hriifllt object shining among tlie green leaves. I t had the brilliancy of a dia­mond’ the pure white .gleams were, al­most dazzling as they darted from all sides ; for a few moments 1 could not imagine what it Was, but a- closer in­spection showed it to . be only a tiny drop of dew reflecting the early morn­ing.sun yet the little dew drop was beautiful, not in itself,. but in the re­flected beams of a glory received from above. . . ' :

Should not the Christian be thus— pure, bright, beautiful, glorious, not in himself, but in the purity, brightness, beauty and glory of the. sun of right­eousness.? Naturally no more worthy of notice than thousands of similar lit­tle water drops hanging from number­less blades of grass, vet as it caught and reflected the. sun’s rays it appeared wondrously attractive.

Thus the heart of m an, or woman, naturally sinful, when coming under the power of Christ Jesus, when lying beneath the cross of the Redeemer in a position for divine love and: holiness to shine upon it, glows Iviid reflects the splendor of the Holy One of Israel. "He, has been with ’Jesus”—-the fact that the Christian dwells in the light of Christ’s presence, is the only reason why a,Christian life should be beauti­ful.' ... ,

Do our lives reflect the beauty of Christ?' It was natural that the dew drop should reflect the sun’s rays where they shone upon i t ; it is natural that the Christian heart should reflect the purity, love, and holiness of Christ so long as that heart lives near the Lord Jesus; if it is not the case; we are living beyond the reach of the holy influences that pour down from the throne of God upon the souls of his children,

The Christian life should be a beauti­ful life in every sense of the word; it is surely not enough that a Christion be moral, virtuous, honest, upright—there, should be fi something spread over this morality to distinguish it. from the

morality of the world* andjthis somje- thing is the loveliness of. Christ, Jeaus which shines from the hearts of all his faithful followers.

A few moments previous, the dew -drop, was like its fellows-—the moment the sunlight streamed upon it, that mo­ment it began to shine. So the mo­ment the light of Christ falls upon .the lieart of man or woman, that heart glows with the sunlight of heaven. We cannot stand near the Saviour without reflecting his pure/ holy, self-denying, character—true, only in a measure, but that measure, small though it must be, will be an image of the glorious real­ity. ■ ■;

It is.Christ who works this change. The sunlight fell upon the dew drop, the dew. drop only received, it did not Originate the beauty that gleamed from it. Let us see that our lives are not dark, cold, unlovely, fruitless—a real

. Christian life cannot be thus. Permit the Lord Jesus to transform our hearts,' by the working of his. Spirit’s soul-re- new ing power, then shall we receive and reflect his glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace.and truth.

. “ He Hath Done All Things Well!". BY .MARY C. CLARK-:-.

These words were spoken just after Jesus had loosed the tongue of the dumb, and opened the ears of.the deaf. The man on whom this miracle had been performed, did not hide God’s work, but published it, and Jesus was glorified. !

We’ve been thinking how many at Ocean Grove this Summer, had their, spiritual ears opened, and their tongues loosed by the same divine touch. If these lines should meet the eyes of any, or even of- one such precious soul, wdj ask, affectionately, whether you have given Jesus the glory diyj unto. His Name! He needs your testimony as well as your right-living for him.

Have you given it? “ Whoso offer-- etlv praise, glorilieth me,” and Jeremiah exhorts you to “ Give glory to the Lord your God, before -he- cause darkness, and before your feet.stumble upon-the dark mountains, and while ye look for light, lie turn it into the, shadow, of death, and make it gross darkness.” •

?o then, every soul whom Jesus has healed,, may exclaim, “ He doeth all things well.” And every child of God, walking in the narrow way can look up and say, “ He hath done all things' wells” not only when their sky is bright and everything seems cheering around them—-it would seem very appropriate under such circumstances to praise Jesus then—but there comes a time in every believer’s life, when the clouds hide the sunshine,, and darkness seems to enshroud them, when “ the winds seem contrary,” and the waves boister­ous—but underneath are the everlast­ing arms, and this blessed knowledge inspires every trusting heart with a faith that does not waver. .

And amid the clouds, the darkness, and the waves of temptation and trials, we exclaim, “ Jesus is at the helm, ‘ He hath done all things well,’ he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the blind to see!” Blessed, be God for such a Sav­iour! for such a salvation! We are rich in having such glorious treasures. The riches of this world fade away into utter insignificance when compared to the riches of grace. They will perish while these will endure throughout eternity.

. A Conscience Meeting.In these modern days there are re

. ligious meetings of all sorts—prayer- meetings, praise meetings, consecration meetings, and so on almost indefinitely. A few Sabbaths ago, the minister, of a certain country parish, gave notice of a conference meeting to be held at 5 o’clock. A little girl, misapprehending the term, asked her father if lie was go­ing to the “ conscience meeting.”

We have never before ,heard of a meeting of this description ; but, after all, it might not be a.bad thing for such a meeting to be instituted.' There' was, perhaps, never more need for such a meeting than now. Let it be for the special benefit of professing Christians. Let all those come together whose con­sciences tell them that they have not lived up to their profession in the.con­duct Of their business.

And - what a gathering there would be i Here comes in one who has striven to got rich by questionable methods of gain, as the renting of his building for the sale of intoxicating liquors. Here enters one who has failed in business, and made by it, defrauding numerous creditors.of their dues. Here comes another who has accumulated a fortune by grinding the faces of. the poor; and here, another who has’over-reached in many a bargain; and h ere a m an who, by misrepresentation, has persuaded a neighbor to sign a note to his undo- iug. '

• And herc'another who, in the settle­ment of estates, has wronged the widow

' and the fatherless. And here another still who has perpetrated even' the deed of the forger. A miserable group in­deed are here, when all are assembled,' all conscience smitten, all convicted at her tribunal of sad misdemeanors.

Let them now, one and all, make a clean breast of it, and confess arid for­sake' their sins, that they may have mercy. The Lord is gracious and won- derfully forgiving, and he will abun­dantly pardon.' It-is. his Own precious declaration,. “ Conic now, and let us reason together ; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow ; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”— Observer. ■

• Forgiveness,'.'A soldier'was about, to be brought be­

fore his commanding oflicer for some oHence. He was an old offender, and had often been punished.

“ Here be is again,” said the oflicer, on his name being mentioned. “. Flog­ging, disgrace, solitary confinement, everything has been tried with him.5’

Whereupon the sergeant.stepped for­ward, and apologizing for the liberty lie took, said : , .

“ There is one thing which has never been done with him yet, sir.”

“ W hat is that ?” said the officer. “ Well, sir,” said the sergeant, “ he

has never been forgiven.”“ Forgiven !” exclaimed the colonel,

surprised afc the suggestion; H e re fleeted for a few minutes:, ordered the culprit to be! brought in," and asked him what be had to say to the charge.

“ Nothing, sir,”, was the reply, “ only I am sorry for what I have done.”

Turning a kixtd. and;.- pitiful look on fcheman, who exg.Mt9.d; elsethan that his punishm ent wnuld;be in­creased with the repetition of his of-, fence, the colonel addressed him, sav­ing: . . . ' , ' -

“ Well, we have tried everything w\th you, and now we are resolved to forgive you!” ,

The soldier was struck dumb with amazement! The tears started in his eyes, and he wept line a child. H e was humbled to the d u st; and, thanking his officer, retired—to be the old,, refrac­tory, incorrigible m a n ? No! from tl^'at. day forward, he was a new,man.

H e who told us the story had him for jrears under his eye, and a better conducted m an never wore the Queen’s colors. In him, kindness bent one whom harshness could not break. The man was conquered by mercy, and melted by love.

A Cat’s Curiosity about Bees.Charles Kaiser, who has the only h ive

of bees in town, says that when he first got his swarm his old cat’s curiosity Was much excited in,regard to the doings of the little insects, the like of which she had never before seen. At first she watched their comings and goings at a distance: She then flattened herselfupon the ground and crept along to­ward the hive, with tail horizontal aind quivering.

I t was clearly evident that she thought the bees were some new kind of game. Finally she took up a position at the entrance to ’the hive, , and when a bee came in or started out, made a dab at it with her paws. This went on for a . time without attracting the special a t­tention of the inhabitants of the. hive. Presently, however, “OldTabby” struck and crushed a bee on the opening lead­ing to tlie hive.’ .The smell of the crushed bee alarmed and enraged the whole swarm.. Bees by the score poured fo rth ’and darted into, the fur of the astonished cat.. Tabby rolled herself in 'the grass, spitting, sputtering, biting,flawing, and squalling as cat; never squalled before. She appeared a mere ball of fur and bees as she rolled and tumbled about. She was at length hauled away from the hive with a garden rake, at the cost of several-severe stings to her rescuer.'

Even after she had been taken to a distant part- of the grounds, the bees stitck IrfTabby’s fur, and about once in ■ two minutes she would utter an un­earthly “ yowl ” and bounce a full yard in the air. , On coming down she would try to scratch an ear, when a. sting, on

- the back would cause her to turn a suc­cession of back somersalts and give vent to a running, fire, of squalls. Like the parrot that was left alone with the monkey, old. Tabby had a dreadful time., Two or three days after this adventure

Tabby was caught by her owner, who took her by the neck and threw her . down near the bee-hive. No sooner did she strike the ground then she gave a fearful squall, and at a single bound reached the top of a fence full six feet in height. There she clung for a mo­ment with her tail as bigas ajrolling- pin, when with another [bound and squall she was out of sight, and did not again put in 'an appearance for over a week.—Virginia City Enterprise.

How Should Children Pray ?We may answer this question in the

language of sonre of your own age. A little boy, one of the Sunday-school children in Jamaica, called upon the missionary, and stated that he had late­ly been very ill, and in his sickness of­ten wished his minister had been pres­ent to pray with him.

“ But, Thomas,” said the missionary “ I hope you prayed yourself?” ;

“ 0 yes, sir.”“ Did you repeat the words I taught

, • you-?” ' ;“ I prayed.” \ " - V"'.;"/:.;.“ Well, but how did you pray ?”“ Why, sir, I begged.” • :

•. A child of six years old, in a Sunday- school, said,

“ When we kneel down in the school­room to pray, it seeme as if my heart talked to God.”

A little girl, about four years of age, being asked, “ Why do you pray to God ?” replied,

“ Because I know he hears me, and I love to pray to him.” , .

“ But how do you know he hears .you?” ;

Putting her little hand to her heart, she said,

“I know he does because there is something here that tells me so,”

Ah, children, you may never fully know the power and usefulness of pray­ed, until you find yourselves in trouble and ih sorrow; then you will love the Mercy r8'eat better than any other place

•' oh earth. But see to it, that-you never approach God in prayer, even now, un­less you have an errand ; for to ask for what you do not want, would only be. mbcfcirig^ the gre&fc God.

Do you remember those little versesof the hym n?—

speakable gift.” ■ ■

Some texts seem to me to beckon with the finger. I wonder whether it would do for me to beckon with my finger to some of you one by one, to get you to stand up, to call you out. But.my finger won’t d o ; it must be the finger of the text, “ If thou seek him, he will be found of thee.”

Thou,; ybung man, thou, young wo­man, if thou seek him, he will be found of thee ; for you hav.e a promise all to yourselves— ‘ They that seek me early shall find trie.” Oh yes, you may early coine, however young in years and fee­ble in knowledge, because to you is this express invitation given ; even the lit­tle children who are here to-niglit, may come, for has not Jesus said, “ Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the king­dom of heaven ?”

I would say to you, whispering it al­most in your ear, “ If thou seek him, little boy; if thou seek him, little g irl; if thou seek him, young man ; if thou seek him, maiden yonder, ‘ He will be found of thee.’ ” , Do listen to this;' It is God’s voice to thee. Take it home to thyself. May God send it home to thy heart. But while I speak to the youngs I should also like to hold up the finger to the old people present. I would say to the old men of seventy or eighty, “ If thou seek him, lie will be found of thee.”

I read the other day a statement which I often hear, but which I never believe, a statement made by a minister to his people, that if persons were not converted before they were forty, they were never likely to be. And tlie.n some statistics were given; it is very easy to lie in figures,; easier,. perhaps, than in any other way. I never .believe in statistics, or in statements based on statistics at any rate.

But this thing I will say ; My Lord and Master never sent me to preach to sinners under forty. I know of nothing in the gospel like it. Which text talks about people being converted who are not more than forty-five ? W hat I find is that t have to preach the gospel to those who are old, as I would to’those who are young, to those who are only ten or a dozen'.

“ Go and preach the gospel to every creature,” is the divine com m and; to Methuselah if he was alive on the face of the earth. Besides, the statement is not true. The brother who makes such an assertion is . probably a small minis­ter, with a small congregation, who does not preach so that old people care to listen to him. But some of us who have got large congregations, and whose calculations extend over a broad area, have come to a different conclusion. I stand up here and say that. I have re­ceived as new converts in church fel­lowship as many persons of one age as another. ■

Only understand that ; this must be taken proportionately—there are not so many persons of j old, age as of young. But in proportion I have baptized as inany people, of eighty as I have chil­dren of twelve, and I have- had. hun­dreds of children, of .twelve, brought to the ‘Cross, I speak- without the (slightest exaggeration as to numbers, I have'had tens ofpeopleofeighty, and that is the same, number, if; you look at the pro­portionate age ; pf; those, .who exist on the.face of tjhe earth. * > v ■ ; -j Thereis- jjptfting in ,the,Word of God to allow any" m an to- make anything

Praise in Death.A few years ago there was.a terrible

storm one Winter night, on the coast of Fife, in Scotland.' All the boats had got in from the herring fishing but one, which struck on a rock just as she was entering the harbor and upset. As the six men who manned her hung clinging to her keel, amid the roar of the wind and the wild dashing of the waves, that threatened : every moment to sweep them to the bottom, the captain, who was a Christian young man, cried,

’“ Now is the time to sing praise to God;” and his voice rose above the howling s to rm -

“ My God, I am th in e !W hat a com fort divine,

W hat a blessing to know.T h at th e Saviour is m in e !”

And then came a great wave and dashed him away from the;boat, straight, home; And then another young man, a Christian too, spoke up,

“ Mates, our skipper’s, finishing the hymn in heaven let us finish it here,” and lie went on— v ; / . ’

“ A nd th is I s h a l l prove,Till I find i t above,

In the heaven o f heavens, ’In Jesus' ow n love.”

And then another great wave swept them, and he too fell from the boat and went to join his captain on Canaan’s happy shore.

That is what being in the light can do for us. The Christian can sing, even in prospect of death.

We then knelt down side by side,, a n d . in praj-er, solemnly .entered into t an everlasting covenant with God. Robert arose from his knees, his face aglow with holy joy ; and as he went forth from the study, in his heart be was saying,; “ ’T is done .'—the great transaction 's done,

I am m y Lord's, an d h e is m ine.”

A letter since received from this young friend, shows he is sincere and persevering.—Am. Messenger.

Decide Now.A young man of more than ordinary

intelligence knocked at my study door.“ Well, Robert, I am glad to see you.

W hat can I do for you ?”“ I wish' you would tell me what

makes a persoii a Christian,” . said my visitor.

“ To be a Christian,” I said, “ is to be­lieve on Christ. I t is to turn from sin, to give up all self-righteousness, to take Jesus as a personal Saviour, to begin in love and obedience to follow him.”

“ B ut how is one to act who becomes a Christian ?” was the next inquiry.

“ Why, act just as God teaches you ’by his Word and Spirit. Trust Jesus' to lead-you as well as to save you.”

“ Is that all ?”“ YeB; that is all. .There will be

much for you to learn and do in the fu­ture, both here and;in heaven.. This God will reveal’ to you. But now you are to repent; that means to turn from sin. You are to believe; that means to trust. ’ You are to follow Christ; that includes the entire future life of holi­ness. You must submit: to God. Make an immediate and a complete surren­der to him .”

New light seemed to dawn on Rob­ert’s mind. ; “ I will go back to college,” said he, for he had come over from col­lege—“ and the' first religious meeting I attend, I will arise and tell my asso­ciates I am determined, from this time forward/ 0 °^ helping me, to lead a Christian life.”

“ This is well, Robert,” I said; ° but why don’t you say it now? Why not tell me, .your pastor, you are resolved to love and serve the Lord ?”• Springing to his feet, the dear youth!

claspedThy hand iii his, and exclaimed, / ‘I do say it. .I,give my heart to God,

and take Jesus as my Saviour.”

Little by Little.■ Edwin was one daylooking at a large

building Which was. being put up just- opposite his fa ther’s house,. He watched the workmen from day to day, as they carried up brick and mortar, and then placed them in their proper order. His father'said to him :

“ Edwin, you seem to be very much taken up; with the bricklayers ; pray, what might you be thinking about? Have you any notion of learning , the trade?” . -

“ No,” said Edwin, smiling; “ .but. I was jiist thinking what a little thing a brick is, and yet' that’ great house is built by laying one brick upon an­other.” .; '

“ Very true, my boy; never forget it. Just so it is with, all great works. .Alt your learning is only one little lesson added to another. If a man could walk around the world, it would be by put­ting one foot before the other. Your whole life will be made up of one little moment after another. Drop added to drop makes the ocean. Learn from this not to despise little things. Learn, also, not to be discouraged by great la­bor. The greatest labor becomes easy if divided into parts. You could not jump over a mountain, but step by step takes you to the other side. Do not fear, therefore, to attempt great things. Always 'remember that the whole of the great building is only One brick up­on another.”

/ . Manna. ;:v-:The life of duty, of simple allegiance

to.the.law of God, of self-restraint for- his sake, of passions suppressed because they may not be lawfully indulged, and so springing up in new forms, in the strength of glorious en thusiasm or m an­lyusefulness, the life which makes the moral being its prime care—this isinan- na. ‘ j ;

B ut if the you th tire of this, suffer it to pall Upon him j m u rm u r a t it, rev ert in m em ory to conquered tem ptations, linger in willful im ag ination on forbid­den sins; look back from th e plow', b e- ' com e first m orose, sullen, d iscontented, th en w eak and w avering, and so slide subtly in to the treason of idleness, and from this in to w an d erin g !desires, an d from w andering desires in to gu ilty p leas­u res/ and from guilty p leasures in to godlessness and death.

Oh, how can. the taste of the manna survive the reek of these Egyptian full­nesses? How Can the violets of purity and humility bloom and shed their fra­grance under the coarse, foul upas tree of sensual passions ? How can the del­icate pulses of spiritual aspirations beat pure and evenly amid these fierce and frightful fever beats of the carnal.life?— Canon Farrar.

B e h a v io r is a mirror in which every One shows his own image. There is a , politeness of the heart akin to love, from; which springs the easiest polite­ness of outward behavior.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER., Cmi.

The annual mot-! ing of die, Chester H eights Association, was held last Mon- day in Wesley H all, nnd vacancies in the board of managers Tilled by elec­tion. t h e financial condition of the corporation was found to be somewhat better than last year, but not strong enough to , pay. any dividend to. the stock-holders at p resen t..

Rev. T. B. Neely' .is .announced as :-e's\ sayist at Preachers’ M eeting next.Mon- day m orning. His subject will be “ Mind Reading.'.’ Tl seems that some of our ministers, who have become ac­quainted with tiie celebrated J.

CeS’t r a l M. E. Church, Trenton, N.J., is now enjoying a third special visi­tation of divine grace under Rev, W. Walton. I t is truly a marvellous work. More than one hundred seekers at the altar in two weeks! The interest is in­creasing every day. Last Sabbath,'no less than five services., were held, beside an overflow meeting in the lecture-room in the evening. During the last two years and six.months,‘six hundred per­sons have professed faith in Jesus at this church. It is a work of grace that has no equal in the history of Method­ism in Trenton. Central is the most thoroughly alive church in the New Jersey Conference, and a most desirable appointment. Among the many good and rare, and almost unheard-of things in the Methodism of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, iB the management of.the finances. The pastor receives his fall salary every week.

. Elements in Teaching.Old Wharton St. M. E. Church was

in its glory on last Wednesday evening. The first lecture in the course its pastor and his progressive colaborers projected for the benefit of Sunday-school teach­ers, assumed the character of an, ova­tion. From every section of the city the class whose presence was especially desired, were drawn together', and at S p. M. the large audience room was packed in every part, with aisles, galler­ies, and some of the ante-rooms crowd- 0(1.. Tlie committee of arrangements had ample reason, to.feel gratified in behold-

1 ing such a,congregation, when it is con­sidered that some of the best laid schemes to attract the religious, public tc a mere lecture, no matter who tlie speaker may be, fail to. attract the masses. ■

Rev. H, Clay Trumbull, editor-in- chief. of the Sunday-School Times was the lecturer, and ' Elements in Teach­ing” was his theme. For nearly aii hour he was listened to jvith the most eager, and delighted attention—not that his remarks were either novel or pro­found, but because he illustrated so fully in both his own matter and man­ner the best methods of effective teach­ing- .

The essence of instruction, he said, is to cause another to know what the teacher thoroughly understands him ­self, The lesson must be .in life, its facts or doetrmes^fanriiiiar to our own minds,

.or we cannot impart a clear idea to the scholar. I t is not always the inatten­tion of the latter, but the incompetency of the teacher, that leads to failure. If he does not know what he is talking about, he cannot interest- others. A mail may preach, whether he -knows his subject or not, -but the teacher can­not be successful and be ignorant of the matter in hand:

The teacher, farther, should compre­hend the ignorance of his scholars, note •their-, aptitude, habits, and tempera­ment. Carefulness should be exercised in using terms which they do not com­prehend.- Some very striking anecdotes on this point greatly enlivened the lec­ture. 'A little girl reading of Joseph being cast into the pit,, having' never met with the, word in any other con­nection than as applied to a peach- stone, gave that as her answer, when asked to describe it ; and the boy who being told to remember where the text was, came home from church and said he thought it was near the door, had really no idea what the word “ tex t” meant.

There must be consideration, tact, and kindness in communicating knowl­edge. Persons who know far less than , others, sometimes are far more success­ful as teachers because of this neces­sary adaptation to the work. Method in teaching is the proper sphere of the Normal School. We must ascertain the individual lack and supply it. This cars, readily be done in the class, because we gain access to each person under our immediate care.

Another, and the most im portant ele­ment iri Sunday-school teaching, is that we have a firm persuasion that it is God’s w ork .. Faith h ere ; becomes in­dispensable,:' 'Like, the old soldier’ who followed Napoleon, \ and’ believed- in himj so m ^st Christian iea'6H6r6 .birfi©Vife in Jesus;- The case of one of the most succffcsfui teachers in London was re­ferred to, Thja iady-aticouhted for her inflwkice tSvet' the:‘roughest boys^'iby realizing that for 'each one the blood of

the Son of God had been shed. In pray­er,-patience, and love, she labored with and for these priceless souls, aiid won them to God.

‘The speaker closed by reminding his fellow-workers in this great undertak­ing, that, after;fill, it was not their method, learning, or natural ability, but true faith, that made the best teachers.

The service was closed by the whole audience joining in the hymn, “ Rock of Ages cleft for me.” The second lec­ture, by Dr. Lyman Abbott, will "be de­livered next'.Monday evening.

. Incident at Preachers' Meeting,

While the brethren were “m using,” as they sat in Wesley Hal! during the hour appointed for religious devotions, on last. Monday, the fire began; to burn, and a remarkable spirit of freedom, fervency and tenderness, came upon all. present. -., ,

During the progress'of the exercises, a pastor, lately transferred from the Eastern coast of .North Carolina to a small church in West Philadelphia, re­ferred to his former and present hr or*, and mentioned incidentally the xeJ and courage of his devoted wife, as.a valued helper in the work of the Lord.. At this a preacher rose, saying he

was reminded .of an incident—one of those occurrences in human life which illustrate the wonders of providence and grace. Many years, ago he was pastor iii an. old Maryland county town, 'where Methodism had but a fee­ble hold on the community, being over­shadowed by the aristocracy o f ' the other churches.

He started a protracted meeting, however, and the first person who bow­ed at.tbe a lta ro f prayer, was a bright, intelligent little girl, belonging to an Episcopalian family. She was'speedily converted, and became a very happy and zealous Christian. Her parents were conversed with and gave their consent co her joining the Methodist church, with her little brother, who had also been converted. :

After a number of years, he became acquainted with a young man, lately an officer in the army, and then a clerk in a large house on Market Street. This brother had been induced.to take a de­cided stand for God, measurably through the prayers and influence of his young wife. She opened her rooms for relig­ious meetings, and finally, with her husband, left all to spread the tidings of a free and full salvation. ■ .

That young man, said the minister, is Bro. Wilson, who has just spoken, and .that blessed wife of his, happens to be the little Episcopalian girl I saw converted seventeen years ago in Prin­cess Anne. While thousands start well and then fall pway, it appears she has held on, and during all this time'has been a worker for Jesus.

“Glory!” shouted Bro. Atwood, whose tears were streaming as he listened to the story. Others were also affected, and the case referred to, suggested a"'! very sweet and profitable interchange: among the'preachers, on the subject of paying attention to the children* and leading tbem to JeauB. • • 1

, ■, ■■• ■ ;. ✓

This excellent Christian wornan, a well-Tcn own and greatly beloved resident of Ocean Grove, after protracted feeble­ness for several months; obtained her happy release from bodily ills and afflic­tions, on last Monday morni nig, Oct. 1 st, and at the word of her Lord has gone to swell the songs of the redeemed in the mansions above.

With her husband, Mr. T. A. Godfrey, who is sadly bereaved in the loss of her genial companionship, she first found her way to the Grovo in 1871, and be­came so thoroughly delighted with the character of the plape that she formed the purpose, he heartily consenting, to remain until the close of their earthly probation. For two or three years past they have lived very happily, in the building'they erected on Main Avenue, and which they concluded to leave be­hind them as a pleasant home for the Lord’s poor. Here, on the day named, the subject of this sketch breathed h e r . life out sweetly on the bosom of infinite love.

That life was one of great activity and singularly deep experience in the things of God. She had, been very early im­pressed by the Holy Spirit when con­nected with the Lutheran Church. She subsequently sought and found a per­sonal interest in the Saviour, and it was through her earnest piety, as he de­clares, that her husband was subse­quently converted to God. . - -

Reading, Pa., was the place, of their residence before their removal to Ocean Grove, and although strict Presbyteri­ans, they soon became identified with the active and .earnest forms of devotion which characterized their hew home. Sister Godfrey was a valued helper in revival meetings, and to many a dis­tressed seeking soul she was made the instrument of imparting comfort and peace. • • •.;

H er acquaintance with the Bible was most remarkable. Every day of her life she studied its pages with prayer, and if there was any part of Revelation that absorbed her attention more than another, it. was the privilege of being wholly consecrated to Christ, and living in expectation full of immortal hope of His coming again. H er house and her heart were set in order. She lived by the moment, and never lost an oppor­tunity to do good either to the souls or bodies of ber fellow-beings. -

All the people held her in highest es­teem. The entire population, it would seem, attended her funeral, which was held at the “ Godfrey Home,” Wednes­day afternoon, 3d insfc., Dr. Stokes, Dr. Alday, Rev. G. Hughes and others, par­ticipating in the services H er remains were temporarily.interred nearSt.Paul’s Church, her grave being the first opened in this locality. '. With the following lines,.hastily penned by one of her most intimate friends—JJrs. Rev., H. B. Bee- gle—we may close this brief and imper­fect tribute:

Asleep in Jesuat What a blessed rest, ;Forever freed f r o m p a iu !

was from the Cornwall Mountain House, to Weat Point. We had a phatoh, al­most, the 6xact counterpart of the one- used the other day/ ^hd^he same bay horse. There had been a slight rain fall the night before, but the morning opened with a clear sky and an atmos­phere'cool and delicious, : ’ ' ' '

We started at nine. I t took just two hours, as we drove, to make West Point, although one, of the finest mountain roads I ever traveled. I t has been quite recently constructed and newly opened to the public. No one should visit this part of the country Without passing over it. *It is six miles long, and cost the very moderate sum of eight tliou-

•, sarid dollars.' I t . is now about thirty feet wide, and is designed to be a hun­dred.. If it should ever reach that width, I do not hesitate to say that it will be one of the finest drives in the world. I t is superb even now. Its greatest eleva­tion is about 1SOO feet. The views

. along the sides stretch miles;and miles away, and are of the most varied and enchanting character. Long ranges of mountains loom up in the hazy dis-

■ tauce, whil.e fertile valleys, where towns nestle, and streams meander, lie just at our feet.

From “ Crow's Nest” a t the summit’ Weat Point is in full view, sind seems

V blit a step, - though 1600 feet below us.. The atmosphere is bo -transparent that

the views could not be finer. Old Fort Putnam, now. a centenarian, hoary and almost bald, sits on quite a mountain, just, back of the West Point plateau, yet from our present elevation, seems but little above the plain. The river views

’ are excellent, and all the Alpine region of the Hudson, on both sides, is seen from this point to the best advantage. Those who cannot go to Europe, and yet are longing for the magnificence of mountain scenery, should by all means come here, for this will prove a splen­did substitute for foreign travel, while those -who can go, should first-come to this region, and learn something of the grandeur of their native land.

We greatly enjoyed these lofty views, and yet there is always one draw-back —a nervous and painful sense of deep- down-ativeness —a feeling , of falling, which leads to a shrinking from the precipice and a leaning up towards the mountian’s side. Why is this ? H ad we reached the period, where as Solo­mon declares, “ The almond tree shall flourish,” we should think it was that accompanying experience, “ afraid of that which is high.”' But, as the almond tree does not: blossom, why this fear ? I cannot tell, only I know this, that there is the con­stant feeling, although we know better, that: Out own additional weight, though barely one hundred and seventy pbunds,

i s all that is needed to topple the mountain over into the depths of the vale beneath. 1 • '

Nearly opposite to West Point' is Constitution Island,; the hoihe of Miss Susan Warner, author of “ Queechy,” and th6‘l“ Wide:Wide World/’ upon the whole of which we now. look down, and it seemslikeaboquetofevergreen float­ing on.theboeom of ,the noble Hudson. A, little beyond is Undercliff, once the home of the poet Morris, and not many miles below la .Qunnysjide,; once the home,/and now, near by, the burial'' place of ;th^fQunders of. Ameri-

■ can literature — Washington Irving—

whosp name;and';fame. will be co-equal with theEnglisb-ioDguie.' - r i-»

I t is nofc eurprisipg that so many dis- tingui|hed in th e literature of our coun-

. try^hb' uld have selected, th e, High lands of; the Hudson. ; for their hom^s, for scenes more congenial to refined and cultivated tastes the land does not af­ford. •

Tt :Was eleven o’clock When we reached West! Point, . itself two hundred feet above high water, mark. We had just time to drive over those ’beautiful grounds, and then witness the cavalry drill. The whole lasted just one hour, arid I suppose, was perfect in its way; •but as I am not skilled in military mat­ters, cannot say. All I know is that the scene to us was both novel and in­teresting.- West Point is a place of much inter­est to the public, and I am glad . the Government has it, but I shall be still better pleased when the time- comes that the nations shall learn war no more.: The ride home, which we reached at

S p. m., was up and down the zig-zag ways of the morning. A better road for the mountains,' I said, I never saw, and I now add in conclusion, a move crooked one I never wish to see.

Sea-side Recreations.

L

Among the editorial visitors we were pleased to meet at Ocean Grove the past season, was W. A. Binder,: Esq., of the Montgomei'y Ledger, who on his re­turn published a very fine descriptive article of the place, from which we take the following paragraph:

Solomon, the third King of Israel, was a wise man; and Solomon went to the sea-side. I t is recorded in second Chronicles 8 : 17—“ Then went Solomon to Ezion-Geber, and to Eloth,. at the sea-side, in the land of Edom.” Solo­mon did many things during his life­time, that were not,as wise as this act of his in going to the sea-side. We make, no pretensions to being a wise man, nevertheless, we also concluded to go to the sea-side. I t is said, 'f All th a t a man hath will he give for his life,” and in the light of this sentiment we consider ourselves one ahead of the wise man aforesaid, for.he went to make arrangements to send to Ophir for go ld ; we to regain in recreation and rest, the blessing of health which % of more value than all the treasures of!th,eIncas. After deciding to go, the nepct impor- tant-question to decide is—where ? The entire Jersey coast from' Sandy Hook to Cape May offer great inducements to the seeker after salt air and sea-bathing and the coast is lined with hotels and cottages, all offering superior advan­tages in Unparalleled surf for, bathing ; fishing grounds where the fish are anx­iously waiting to be caught, boating in smooth water for the timid, and rough waters for the verturesome'; 'tables groaning with their wealth of the good things of this life—-all a t remarkably low prices, and no mosquitoes or kin­dred pests to worry the seeker after pleasure. Wondrous stories of the beauties of Ocean Grove with its beau­tiful lakes, and visions thereof came floating through the brain, and we con­cluded we would go to Ocean Grove. We came and our anticipated pleasures were more than realized. Instead of a' small village, composed mainly of tents ad. we expected, •. we. found a large K city •by the sea,” containing about sin: hun­dred ‘ cottages and boatding housed, inany of them large and of .^egont de*

■ v: r . - ; ; y j i /

sign and ^superior ^yor^manahip, with all the. appliances of a well ordered.mu- nicipia.iity:. In addition there were erec­ted .tliis ; year about six hundred mar- quee tents; ‘ systematically grouped around- the - camp-meeting circle, in a beautiful grove of oak and pirie. :I t is estimated that' from 50,000 to 75,000 people annually visit this sea-side re­sort, including Asbury Park, separated from the Grove by Wesley. Lake, and which practically form one town.

After a general and very interesting description of the grounds, cottages, lakes, and religious meetings, the editor very flatteringly alludes to another of the features of Ocean Grove in the fol­lowing passage:■ “ Of course such an enterprising place

as Ocean Grove is not without its news-, paper, and -this’ dcsiderixtimi is fully su p- plied .by the Ocean G ro v e -Record, ably edited by Rev. A. Wallace, of the Phil­adelphia^Conference; : The publication of T h e R eco rd Was commenced in June 1875, and is intended; as a weeklp, al­though during the height of the season

camp-meeting time and thereabouts i-r-two editions are occasionally issued per week. The paper gives a full and correct account of the religious services conducted on the ground, and well as all. the secular local and a summary of general news. May its subscription list speedily increase to large proportions! Mr. Wallace has also a book and station­ery store, Where all the latest religious publications may be found. This gen­tleman is indefatigable in his efforts to please the public, and to him we are in­debted for special fayors.”

Sunday-School Convention.The Presiding Elder, of New Bruns­

wick District, Rev. Dr. Graw, was punc­tually in his place on, last Tuesday morning, to conduct the exercises of the Sunday-school Convention which had been arranged to be held in St. Paul’s M. E. Church, Ocean Grove.

• Tiie attendance of delegaties, however, whether of ministers or the laity, was .quite slim. A formidable programme,, the work of Rev. W. T. Abbott, chiefly, was taken up, as the order of: exercises! I t embraced; besides devotional service and music, under the direction of Mr. Willisford I)ey, a series of important topics and questions, On most of which essays were read and discussions held.

The President gave some interesting, and very practical hints on every sub­ject before the Convention, including the use.of Metliodistic literature, ex­penses of carrying on the schools, use of

:catechism, teachers’ meetings, temper­ance, &c,

Rev. A. J. Gregory presented and read a, good paper On-teaching,Revs. J. Wagg and Dr. Stokes held to the im­portance of indoctrinating the children in our theological system. Prof. Saun­ders pointed out some good methods to inculcate temperance principles, Dr. Chattle delivered an essay oni the study of the lesson, and Miss Rice, formerly principal of the Young Ladies’ Semi­nary afc Yonkers, gave her views and experience in riiligious education.. Rev. Mr. Lake, who acted as secre­

tary, Cook Howland, and several others also took part in the proceedings, and the Convention closed on Wednesday evening with a spirited young people’s meeting, at which several addresses were delivered.

: On Sunday Oct. 14th, Rev. Messrs. Inskip and McDonald, at the invitation of Bro. McConnell, will commence a series of meetings at Siloam M. E. Church. Tl^e people are praying and expecting ia great revival in that part of the city. * , •*

The students now here repre­sent a style_ of physique of a character most creditable to the Doctor’s table; and the table itself, as the'w riter can bear testimony, furnishes good viands, nicely cooked and well appetized.

Among.the better class of them are those from Philadelphia, and of those with good .reputations for scholarship and study are Evans, Mintzer, Maddux, Ilobinson, McLaughlin, Vanhouten, Horton, Quigley, the sous of Francis Murphy, and others of probably equal merit, but whose names I do not call to mind;

There has been a grand revival in the church, in which many of the. students have been converted. The prayer-meet­ing I attended was nobly led by the Doctor, assisted- in the most earnest style by the students, giving the entire services a first-rate Methodist ring.

Nearly thirty of the students are studying for-the ministry, and getting a practical knowledge of the work in this Way. B.

Change of Name.Has it not occurred to many of the

visi tors to Ocean Grove that some better arrangement might be made in the street nomenclature ? The name Pil­grim Pathway seems to have no mean­ing, and is considerably derided. Would it not be more appropriate to call that part which runs from Fletcher Lake to Pitman Avenue, Grove Avenue, and then from Pitman Avenue to We3ley Lake, beginning opposite Martin’s Store, call it Park Avenue ? These names w o u ld indicate the locality, and be more convenient than the'present title.' '■

A system of numbering the cottages so that the number would indicate the location, might be advantageously adop­ted ; and we doubt not that in due time the members of the Association will consider this matter. : \ W. C. B.

Last Monday being “ Devotional Day” at the Preachers’ Meeting, there were comparatively but' ifew in atten­dance, the majority as usual preferring to loaf doWn stairs in the Rook Room' rather than join in a good hearty song, or hel.p. each other; by prayer and th‘e ' word of their testimong.

As Others See Us.t .. : ; ■ -v

Now that we are favored with a little more leisure, after the hurry of the sea­son, and can glance over the columns of our contemporaries, it gives pleas­ure to meet with so many striking de­scriptions of m atters. and things at Ocean Grove. That Clever :writer, to whom, Inst year, we were frequently compelled to pay our respects—Aud ex —of the Frcdonian, in a letter published in. September, characterizes the Grove •“is' .' '

A PLACE OK POKTRY.“ Mr. Longfellow says that he has al­

ways found the poets his best traveling, companions, so. he has drawn so ex­haustively upon his English favorites as to compile two volumes for the use of all those traveling Britishers who, having eyes, see not. H e tells us these poets “ sec many things that are invisi­ble to common eyes like .Orlando, -inthe forest Of Arden, , they “ hang odes, oil hawthorns and elegies on thistles ;'! tliej invest the landscape with a human feeling and cast upon it—

• TJio lig h t th a t never whs on «•« or lmid;The consecration-and the poet's d ream ,”

Now if any place in. .these United States ought to become, beautiful “ by the Expression of thought and: feeling,'’ surely this poetic spot will be the one. We are truly, blest will; poets; wo have a President who, in the Centennial year prepared and read, July 4th,' a poem composed by himself of one hundred verses. We have poet residents, aiid poet visitors; and as they have power to draw sermons from stones, and voices from the sea, we ought to be, as we are blest with an incessant fire of poesy- paintiiig at every 'anniversary and on

. all occasions, suitable or otherwise. 1 name all this because our friends should be alive to the peculiar,’ the brilliant, ahvantages of the grove called Qcean. under such auspices.

CONCERNING “ TIIE-R K C O R i)/’/ :

the above writer wants this paper a lit­tlem ore breezy, and ventilates.his no­tions iii thatiii'depeiideht manner which we very much admire. He proceeds :

“ Having this year kept quiet and hot,, written you, I have lacked the complimentary allusions to your lady- correspondent by the, gallant editor of the O c e a n : G r o v e R e c o r d , who last year so readily deteeted. the philosophic pro­clivities of the fair correspondent of the Fretloniu'n, I sometimes wish he would shake. himself free , from (lie shackles of sombredom', and become a lit-’ tie more breezy. Of alt the piquant, and of its kind, well-gotten up sheets; for a sea-side resort, the Anbury Park Journal takes the lead' Now thecqurtly

• editor of T h e R e c o r d has the ability to make that weekly all we desire and yet preserve the sparkling cheerfulness of a bright- eyed, li ap py-expression ed, wh ole- hearted Christianity ; or if they like the term better—holiness! for such that is. We. would not. find fault; we need n o t; yet we do crave this much. Surely, if any paper should-be.sparklingly alive, it ought to be one devoted. to holiness and the sea—or embodying Biimey’s quixotic idea of “ making the best of both worlds.” We have confidence, if •the obliging gentleman thought proper to cast himself adrift from the execu­tive moorings, of possessing a paper that would do more good and have a larger circulation than any similar weekly in the Union. I t lias wonder­fully improved and we are convinced there is “ more to follow,” from the known capabilities of the genial ed­itor.”

The bare possibility of possessing a a paper that would do more good, and have a larger circulation than any sim­ilar weekly in the Union, as our gener­ous critic suggests has sometimes oc­curred to ua; but the estimate we place on the “ capabilities” of the editor is not quite aa high as that ju st expressed.

I t may be worth a trial to cut adrift from “Bombredom” and “ executive moorings,” and see if we cannot put a little more spice into our sheet. •
