How sh dl va s cure the sceular press as A niiglliur re-en-Corccmont to relig on an 1 the pulpit. The first, thing toward this result is. cessa tion of indiscriminate hostility against news- fmperdom. You might as Well denounce thd egal profession liecause of the shysters, or the medical profession becanso of the quack3, or merohandi because of the swindling ar gain makers. As to slamban? ne spipers be cause there Are recreant editors and unfair reporters and unclean co'unms. Guttenberg, the inventor of the art of printing, wa? about to destroy his types and extinguish the art becnuse it was suggested to him that print ing might be suborned into the service of the dvil, but afterward hi bethought himself that the right usa of the art might more thin overcome the evil me f it, and si he spare! the tyoe and the intelligence of all fol lowing ages. But there are many to day in the depressed mwd of Guttenberg with upliilel hammer, wanting to pound to p'ecea tin type, who have not reached his tetter niool In which he saw the art of printing to bo the rising sun of the world's illumination. If in stead of fuhtinT newspapers we spsnd the tame length of time and the same veheni3neo In mar.-hfdinz their help in religious direc tions, we woul 1 be as much wiser as the m.an who gptscnwnt of the railroal superin tendent to f : s en a car to the en l of a rail train, shows better s -nse than he who runs his wheel harrow up the trac't to nuet an I drive 1 a-k the Chicago limited expn s. The i'liest thing that a man ever doisisto figlit anewspiper, for ou may haveth rloor lor utterance perhaps one day in the weak, while the newspaper has t'io flooreverv day of the week. Juipoleon, thouih a mishl y mm. hf. 1 mnnv weaknesses, and one of the weakest J thineshe ever did was to threaten that if the English newspapers did not stop the r ad verse critici-m of himself he would with four bund re 1 thousand bayonets crojs the channel for the r chastisement. Don't fight newspapers. Attick provokes attack. B tter wait till the exc tment blows ov r and then co in an I cet justi -e. for get It you will if vou have pati nee and common j sense an I em p ) se ot d.spisitio:i. it oagi.c to be a mi h y sedative that there is an enormous amo'int of common s nse in tha world, and you will eventually be taken for what you are really worth, aud you cannot be puffed uo Jnd you cannot le written down, and if you are the enemy cf god so ciety that fact will come out. anl if you are the friend of good society that fact will be established. I know what I am talking about, for I can draw on my own experience. All the responsible newspapers as far as I know are my friends now. But many of you remember the time when I was the most continuously and manlv at tacked man in this country. Go I gave me grace not to answer back, and I kept silence for ten years, and much cr.ice is required. What' I stid was pcrvertdd anl twisted into jut the oppalt of what I did say. My person was maliine-l, an 1 I was resen ted as a porgon, and I was maliciously escribed by poi-sins who had never seen mi as a monstrosity in body, mind and soul. There were m llions of people who believed that there was a larje sofa in this pulpit, al though we nver had-anytbing but a chair, and that during the singing by the congrega tion 1 was accustomed to lie down on t h it ofa and dangle my foet over the en L Lying New York correspondents for ten ynrs misrepiesented our church services, but we waited, and people from every n'-igh' or hood of Christen iom canio here to fini the magnitude ot the falsehoods concerning the church and concerning myself. A r 'action et in and now we have justice, full justice, more than justice and as much overpraise as once we had un ler appreciation, ami no man that ever live1 1 was so much indebtsl to the newspaper press for opport unity to preach the Gospel as I am. Young men in the min istry, young men in all professions and occu pations, wait. You can afford to wait. Take rough misrepresentation as a Turkish towel to .tart up yoi'r languid cir uiation, or a system of massage or Hwolub move ment, whose po';es and pulls and twists ami thrusts are silutary treatm nt. There is one poison vou need to manage ami that i3 yourself. Yeep your disposition swejt by communion with tha Christ who answered not aga n, the Fociety of genial people, and walk in the sundiine with yf-ur hat o'E and you will come out all right. And don't join the crowd of people in our day who spend much of their t me dunning newspapers. Again, in this effort to secure the secular press as a m ghtier re-enforoement of religion and the pulpit, let us make it the avenue of religious information. If you put the facts of churches and denominations of Christians only into the columns of re'igicus papers, -which do not in this country have an aver age of more than ten thousand subscribers. what have you done as comp n ed w ith nb it you do it you put these tacts through the djiily pap fs which have hundreds of thou tanils of readers? Every little denomination must have its little organ, supported at great exppn e.when, with one half tue outlay .a col umn or half a column of room might le rented in some semi-omninotent ocular pnb lioaton. and so th? religious information would bo sent i cund an i round the world The world moves so swiftly to-day that ti a week old is sta'e. Give ns all the great church facts and all the revival tidings the next moruing or the s,arae evening. My ad vice, often givea to friends who propose to start a newspaper, is: "Don't! Don't! Em ploy the papers already started " The big gest financial hole ever dug in this American continent is the hole in which good peoPla throw their money w hen they start a news paper. It i almost as good andasquick a way of getting rid of money as buying stoc'i in a gold mine in Colorado. Not more print ing presses, but the right use of those ah eady established. All their cylinders, all their steam power, all their jiens, all their types, ill their e l torial chairs and reportorial rooms are available if you would engage them in behalf of civili-iation and Chris Ma n'tv Again: If you would secure the secular press as a mightier re-enforcement of religion and the pulpit, extend widest and highest courtesies to the representatives of iournal- ism. Give them easy chairs and p'enty of ! room wnen they come to report occasions. For the most part they are gentlemen of ed ucation and refinement, graduates of colleger, with familiesto supjwrt by their literary craft, many of them'weary with the push of a business that is precarious and fluctuating, each one of them the avenue of information to thousands of readers, their impression of tha services to be the impression adopted by multitudes. They are connecting links between a sermon or a song or a prayer and this great popula tion that tramp uo and down the etree's day by day and year by yaar with thsit sorrowi ttooinfortai aad their sinj uripa.-aonei. More than eigrht hundred thousand people in Bro6klyn,&na less than seventv-five thousand m chufc&es, so that our cities are not fio much preached to by ministers of religion as by reporters. Pat all journalists into our prayers and sermons. Of all the hundred thousand ?rmons preached to dsy, there Will not be three preached to journalists, and probably not one. Of all the prayers offered for classes of men innumerable t&3 prayers effered for this rrtost potential c!a3 will be so few and. rare that they will be thought a. breacheSf's idiosyncrasy. This world will never be brought to Got Until, some revival of religion sweeps Over thd Iflnd aid takes Into the kingdom ot Ood editors And re porters, dmpjftitd?v pressmen and news boys.

The win t Gf the. Apocalyptic angel will be the priutjjt page. The printing press will roll ahea 1 Of Christ's char ot to clear the way. "'But.'' &"no one might ask, ''would you hiake the Sunday nwsoHpers a'so a re-en-force men I."' Yes. Iweu'd. I have learned to take taingsas they are. 1 would like to see the much seoITe I at old I'uritan Sabbaths come back again. I do not think the modern Sunday will turn oat any bitter men and women than were your grandfathers and grand mothers under the o'd-fashioned Sun day. Tosaynoth ng of other results, Sun day newspapers are killing e liters, repjrters, compositors and pros ;m m. Every man, woman and chiM is ent t'e I to twenty-four hours of nothing to do. If the newspapers put on another s t of hands that do js not relieve the editorial and reportor al room of its car s and respmi'bUitio. Our literary men die fast enough without killing them with Sunday work. But tha Sunday news paper has co ne to stay. It will stay a good d -al longer than anv of us stav. What, then, sha'l We do? Implore all those Who have anything to do wirh issuing it to fill it With moral or religious information; livt RTUiOiis and fa?ts elevating. Ufge therri that all divorce cases bs dropped, and in stead thereof have gool a Ivied as to how husbands an I wives ought to live lovingly together., lMt in small tvpe the behavior of the swindling church member, and, in large ype liiecontriorinoT ot sorrie utiristiari niari toward an asylum for feeble mindo 1 children Or a seaside sanita iX'a. Crge all managing editors to put ni anuess and impurity in type pearl or agate, and charity and fiJelity ani Christian consistency in brevier or bour geois. If we cannot drive out tha Sunday newspaper let us have the Sunday newspaper converted. The fact is that the modern Sun day newspaper is a great improvement on the old Sunday newspaper. What a beastly thing was the Sunday newspaper thirty years ago! It was enough to destroy a man s re siHsctability to leave the tip end of it stick ing out of his coat io: ket. What editorials! What advertisements! What pictures! The moJern Sun lay newspaper is as much an improvement on the ol 1 time Sunday news paper as one hundred is more tLan twenty five; in other wor.ls, about 75 percent, im provement. Who knows that by prayer and kindly consultat on with oar literary friends we may have it lifted into a positively re ligious sheet, printed on Saturday night and only difttribu'ad. like the Aimric in Mnvm gr, or the 3liHiotary Journal, or the Sun day School Advocate, on Sibbath mornings? All things are possible with God, and mv faith is un until nothinir in the way of religious Victory would sur-! prise me, AH the newspaper printing presses of the earth are going to ba the Lords, and telegraph anl telephone and type will yet announce nations born in a day. The first Itook ever printed was the Bible by Faust and his sou in-law, Schoeffer, in 1U!0, and that consecration of type to the Holy Scriptures was a prophecy of the great mis sion of printing for ihe evangelization of all the nations. The father of the American printing press was a clergyman. Rev. Jesse Glover, and that was a prophecy or the re ligious us 3 that the Gospel ministry in this country were to make of the typ'is. Again, we shall secure the secular press as a mightier re enforcement of religion and the i lupit oy making our religious utterances more interesting anl spirited, and then the press will reproduce them. On the way to church some fifteen years ago, a journalist sai i a thing that has kept me ever sine thinking. "Are you going to give us any point i to-day:" "What do you mean?" 1 asked. He said : "I mean by that anything that will be striking enough to le remem bered." Then I said to myself: What right have we in our pulpits and Sunday schools to take the time of people if we have nothing to say that is memorable? David dit not have any dilliculty in r membjring Nathan's thrust: " Thou art the man;" nor Feiix in remembering Paul's point blank utter ance cn righteousness, temperan.e and judgment to conu: nor the Engli-h King any difficulty in remember ng what the court preacher said, wlvn during the ser mon against sin the preacher threw his hand kerchief into the king's pew to indicate whom he meant. The tendency of criticism in the theological seminaries is to file o!F from our young men all the .sharp roint anl mak them too smooth for any kind of execution. What we want, all of us, is more point, less humdrum. If we say the right thing in the right way the press will be glad to echo and re-echo it. Sabbath s hoot teachers, reform ers, young men and old m -n in the ministry, what we all want if we are to make the printing press an ally in Christian work is that which the reporter rpoken of suggested points, sharp jioints. memor it le oints. Eut if the thing deal when ntt-rel by livin? vo'c. it will be a hundredfold more Head when it is laid out in cold type. I Now, as you all have something to do with the newspaper press either in i -.suing a paper or in realms it. either as producers or pa trons, either as sellers or purchasers of the printed sheet. I propose on this Sabbath morning, June 17, 1SSS, a treaty to be signed between the church and the printing press, a treaty to be ratified bv millions of good peo ple if we rightly fashion it, a treaty promis ing that we will help each other in our work of trying to illumine an 1 felicitate the wort I, we bv voice, you by pen, we b speaking only that which is worth print ing, you by pr.nt.ing only that which is fit to sneak. Y ou help us and we will help you. 8 de by side be these t wo potent agencies until the Judgment Day,wheri we must bath be SM-utini-d for our work, healthful or blasting. The two worst off men in that day wiil bo the minister of relig.on and the e litor if they waste 1 their opportunity. Both of us are the engineers of long express trains of influence, and we will run into ad p it of light or tumble them off the em bankment. What a useful life and what a glorioiu de parture was that of the most famous of all American printers, Benjamin Franklin, whom infidels in the penury of their re sources have often fraudulently claimed for their own, but the printer who moved that tha Philadelphia convention tie opened with prayer, the resolution lost because a ma jority thought prnyer unnecessary, and who wrote at th time he was viciously attackei: "'W ru f is to go strri-Tht forward in doin what appears tome to b ."jht, leavin? tse con-equence to Froviden"e," and who wrote this quaint epitaph showing his hope of res urrection, an epitapa thst I hundreds of times read while living in Philadelph a: The BoJy of Bekjavin Frankmv, Printer .

That Providence intends thq profession of reporters to have a mightv sha'e in the wort Vh redemption is suggested I v the fact taat Paul anl Christ too'.i a reporter alo;ig with them, and he reportei their addresses j and reported the r acts. Luke was a re- I poi-er, and he wrote not only theok of j Luke, but th Acts of the Apistles, and I without that reporter's work we would hive j known nothing of the Pent9Cost. and nath- ing of Stephen's martvrJoin, an t nothing of Ta'itha"s resurrect on. and noth'nj of th jail ng and unjailing of I'nul an I Silas, an I nothing of the shipwreck at Melita. Strike out the reporter's work from the Bible and vou kill a large part of the New Testament. I it makes me funs that m the future of the kingdom of Goi the reporters are to bear a mighty part. About thirteen years ago a representative of an important newspaper took his seat in this church, one Babhatt) night, about five pw f r m h'!r nf of th pulpit. He took t ut pviKli ft!) I reporter's pai.rssQ) v4 to eari- cature the whole scene. When the music began he began,and with his pencil he derided that, and then derided the prayer, and then derided the reading of the Scripturoand then began to deride the sermon, cut. he says, for some reason his hand began .to trenabli, and he, rallying himself, sharpened bis pencil and started again, but broke down again, and then put pencil and paper in his pocket and his head down oil the front tff the j?ew and began to pray. At the close of thS servic he cime up' And asked for the prayefs of others and gave his heart to God; a'thoUgh still engage! in news paper work, he is ah evangelist, and Hires a nail at his own expieme and every Sabbath afternoon preAehee JesuS Christ to the peo ple. And tVe men of that profession Are go ing to corne in a bo ly, throughout the coun try.

Some of your lest work is as much unappreciated as was Mi ton's '"Paradise Lost' for which the author received 2, and the immortal 'poem, 4TIoh-nliuden," of Thomas Campbell when he first offered it for publication, and in th? column callei "Notiecs to correspondent's" appeared the words: "To T. C The lines commencing 'On Linden when the sun was low' are not up to our stan lard. Pot try is not T. C.'s forte." O men of the pencil and pen, amid your unappreciated work you need encouragement and you can have it." Printers of all Chris tendom, editors, reporters.compisltors.press men. publishers and readers of that which is printed, resolve that you wiil not write, set up, edit, issue or read anything that debases body, mind or soul. In the name of God, by the laying on of the hands of faith anl prayer, ordain the printing press for right eousness and liberty and salvation. All of us with some influence that will help in the right direction, let us put our hands to the work imploring God to hasten the consum mation.

A Colt's Race With a Train, The Gl,be-Democrat describes a re markable race between a three-year-old thoroughbred colt aud au express train" in Kentucky. The- colt belongs to Yince Carpenter, at Limestone Station, in Carter County. Vh?n the expes train arrived at Limestone the colt stepped on the track in front of the en gine, and uhen the train started the colt started also, keeping some dist.aneo in front of the engineer, until a large trestle was reached at Soldier, the next stopping point, a distance of live and a quarter miles from Limestone. The colt started over the trestle, but fell down, and the race came to au end; the engineer stopped, a rope was attached to the colt, and it was removed from tha track. The race of five and a quarter miles is reported to have been made in the short time of thirteen m:nule. The colt jumped several cow paps, crossed numerous small trestles and ran around one or two bridges. AVhen the colt left the track to go around the bridges the engineer gave his engine full speed to try and pass the colt, but it succeeded in getting on the track in front cf the en gine again and the race was renewed. At Enterprise a number of men tried to scare the colt from the tra:.k, but it passed around them and got back on the track before the train could pass it. The engineer says that several times he gave his engine full speed, trying to pass it or run over it, but it wa toe swift for his engine. In the fall on the trestle the colt was not injured much. The Origin of "Uncle Sam." The sobriquet "Uncle Sam" arose at the time of the last war bet wee 1 Kng land and America. A commissiarat contractor nimed Klbeht Anderson, of New York, had a' store at Troy. A Government Inspector named Samuel Wilson, who was always dubbed "Uncle S-m," superintended the examination of the piovision, and when they were passed each package was marked with the letter F. A. U. S., the initials of the contractor and of the United States. The man whose duty it was to mark the casks, being asked what the initials meant, replied that they stood for Elbert Anderson and Uncle Sam. This was cons:dtrcd a good joke and soon got abroad, and long .before the war was over the name had become fixed, and applied just as John Bull is applied to England.

This dog was secured in France from the ken nel of l!a on Fothschild by Miss Matilda Lotz, the artist, and was brought here in September, 188?, when she presented it to her brother's wife. The dog is a handsome specimen of bis species. He was very much attached to Mrs. Lotz, aud always accompanied her in her walks, He is supposed to be the only thorough bred on this coast. He is called Jumbo II. and was born in llc-vcrnler, 1880. at Eastwell Tark, Kent, England. He is by Champion Cadwa'lader, out of Abcss VI., b ith of whom have first class pedi grees. Sin J 'Mi (Gif.)

When anything stands the test of fifty years among a discriminating people, it is pretty c ood evidence that there is merit somewhere. Few, if any, medicines, have met with such continued success and popul rity a has mirked the progress of Brandreth's Pills which, after a trial of over fifty years, are Coueeded to be the safest and most effectual blood purifier, tonic and alterative ever in troduced to thS public. , . That this is the result of nierit, arid that Braxdreth's Pills perform all thatisclainl ed for the.n, is coneluMvtly proved by th9 fact that those who regard them with the greatest favor are those who have used them the longest.

When he came back crowned with success, a large pr-v loi ti n of these good pe -pie adhered to their theory; aud if thy were alive to day many of them would doubtless insist that America had never lioen discovered at all. A man will jjivo up everything in the world more readily than a iet. theory. For example, lok at the individual who stilt maintain I hat consumption is incurable Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Ofccovery has cured thousands of cases, a-i I will cure thousands more, but these pe iple can't give up their point.
