That the miraculous unity of the Scriptures proves their divine inspiration and that while the Bible wi;s written by the hand of man, yet it had God for its sponsor, we earnei tly preach and fully believe in our he irts; but after such contrasts as the fm precations of David and the Sermon m the Mount, what reply shall we nake to those who like Bish op Latin e say, “The divine and the . human aie mingled in the Scripture : ; the Bible is the Word of God, but it ■ came th ougb man who is full of 1 weakness: human weakness is dis | played .e’ ren in the Bible?” Rev.

C. j Dear Bishops and Brethren: Greet ing: It is with profound pleasure that I address yon on the subject of the Varick C. E. work of the A. M. E. Z ion Church. I am truly glad to know that a few of the ministers 6f your conferences have taken the ad vanced step of organizing a Varick C. E„ in their churches; and yet then iB a large number of churches thal have not organized as yet. Permit me to urge upon the pastors especial ly,(for the success of the work largely depends upon the interest which they take in it) to put forth every possi ble effort to organize a V. C. E. in their churches, for if we expect to hold the young people in the churches we must certainly give them some thing to do. This the V. C. E. does. It opens up avenues of usefulness for the young people of your church and congregation. Besides, it urges upon them the necessity of reading the Bi ble, and at the time encourages de votional culture. I am happy to infoim you that thus far, we, as a Connection, have run well. We have now upon roll nearly 200 aetive_V. C. E. S's with about 10,000 members. This has been the result, largely, of one year’s labor. Knowing as we do, the inter est which our worthy Bishops have always manifested in the rising gene ration, we will not be at all surprised to hear that our Zion is leading in this blessed movement; hence we are anxiously waiting to hear of encour aging reports from your conference! and Episcopal districts. It is not too early for you to begin now to prepare for that great Convention of ‘98. 1 shall suggest, if it pleases the Bishop and conference, that you appoint a committee whose duty shall be tc confer with the president of the Var ick C. E. Union, looking towards the perfecting of plans for the denomina tional meeting which usually take! place at that time. We feel confident that with such live and energetic men, such as you have in your con ferences, led on by learned and pol ished Christian gentlemen in the per son of our presiding Bishops, that our Connection will not be a whit behind in this great movement. Now, may heaven’s blessings con tinue to smile upon you and may you Lave abundant success in your chosen fields of labor. I remain yours sin cerely, for “Christ and the Church,’’ Jesse B. Colbert* President of the Varick C. E. Un ion of the A. M. E. Zion Church. TOPIC FOR SUNDAY, OCT. 24. “Confessing Christ Before Men; Why and How. John xii. 35-48; Bom. x. 8-11.

We cannot be Christians unless we are willing to confess Chrrist our Sa viour; unwillingness or failure to con fess 1 him is equivalent to a denial. Whatever is not light is darkness. It is right but not enough merely to believe with the heart. Confession With the mouth and-by our deeds is also necessary to salvation. Silence is de nial, and if we deny him, we are told that he also will deny us before the Father. SELECTIONS. The man with a heart full of truth will find an occasion for preaching it when he little expects. Travel, with its shifting scenes and its strange In cidents, might seem a poor time to convert a soul. The seatmate on the cars or stage, the fellow traveler across the ocean, may be entertaining religi ous doubts which only & word of the gospel would dispel. Sorrow may have prepared his heart for the word spoken In love. Disappointment may recently have invaded his life, and he is ready to hear of CHrlBt. The Spirit gives us as good opportunities for preaching Christ as he gave Philip, and we shall are be able to discern them if we ■ habitually obedient to God’s will. If svreet the song of Sheba’s queen, Of glories that her eyes had seen In Solomon, the earthly king; How sweeter far should be our song, We, who to JeBUs Christ belong, dnd oWe him'everything! The world has millions of witnesses, those that walk according to its course, ilavcs of passion, devotees of pleasure, seekers after "filthy lucre." We are af God. We should speak for Christ, ive and labor for him, to the end that m t lings above, not on things on toe, -- - - Jan 15, *96. Oalife session, -* . $30 2!

"It is at allegory and pretends to give the ex periences of a little dragon fly grub The little insect longs to know what i: beyond the sphere of Its little world In vain it inquires of the fish that liv< in the same pond, but they have no ex perience in any other sphere, nor cai any of its fellows satisfy its anxious yearning. The only world it knows ii a little meadow pond; all its experience is limited by the bounds i*f the sur rounding banks. At length the grub li overcome by a strange attraction up ward, and gathering about it all Its fel lows it tells that itmust leave thorn foi the regions above, and promises to re turn to tell them what it has found tc exist In the beyond, if, Indeed, theremaj be anything above the bulrushes of theh little pond. And then quietly It disap pegrs from the sight of its fellows and emerges into the bright sunlight of tli< greater world. Here it is transformed, and now with outstretched wings 11 darts hither and thither reflecting the brightness of the sun from ics gorgeous body. But It does not forget the prom ised it has made to the friends it ha* left below. It tries to return to the world from which It has just been resurrected, but cannot now leave the atmosphere In which it lives. All it can do Is to \tait for them to come to where it now lives, a beautiful dragon fly. ’’‘And thus it is with those who have disappeared from our sight. Their love for us is not lessened because they are no^ able to commune with us, but they are halting In the presence of the Mas ter for that glorious moment when In their resurrected bodies they shall unite once more with those whom they have loved on earth.” FREE TREATMENT for all poraona afflicted with Consumption, Catarrh, Asthma Bronchitis - AND DISEASES OF THE Ear, Nose, Throat and Lungs.

W. S. Brooks has re turned to this city after an absence of two years and wilHake charge of St. Peter’s African M. E. Church. After leaving this city Mr. Brooks went at ounce to Europe, visiting England,Nor way, Sweden and Findland in turn. It is a question- whether he was more interested than interesting while travel ing in Scandinavia and Finland. Ha certain' y saw much that pleased and instructed him, but his .feelings proba bly were not to be compared with those of the peasants when they gazed upon the American visitor. Mr. Brooks, it must bo understood, is quite black and distinctly African in his features. Now many of the natives of the interior have not bean twenty miles from home in their lives and the colored man is known to them only through books. Even the statements in books relative to men with black skins have been ac cepted with grains of allowance by the most sceptical. When they heard that a black man wonld lecture in their neigh borhood there was a great outpouring of the whole countryside to see this most extraordinary of human beings. Some walked as much as ten miles to be present Mr. Brooks has a slight knowl - edge of Swedish, which he gained through a friend in Baltimore, and though he did not lecture in this lan guage he was able to carry on a conver-_ sation with the awe-struck peasants. He was a great curiosity, unparalleled in many a life. They were a little diffi dent about shaking hands, much to the amusement of Mr. Brooks, and when they did many of them cast surrepti tious glances at they palms to see if any color had come off. In his public ad dresses he spoke through an interpreter. He was very much pleased witli the at tention shown him and commends the dweller } of Sweden and Norway for their hospitality and courtesy. It was very gratifying"to him. The Negroes of the United States outnumber the members of the trades unions or of lobor organizations of any kind. Asa whole, the Negroes are as desirou!) of bettering their condition as the whites are; but the trades unions close the doors upon dark-skinned workmen. If an aspiring negro leave the cotton field and becomeacacpenter, a blacksmith or a mechanic of any kind the “union” refuses to admit him to membership, denounces him as a ‘.‘scab” and refuses to countenance em ployers who hire “scabs.” If a Negro in Chicago has learned one of the build ing trades he is refused admission to membership in the union of that trade, and the very men who have refused him membership insolently go to the school board and demand that the Negro shall not be employed in the construction or repair of' any of ita buildings, ‘ ‘because he is not a union man;” but they neglect to add that ha is not a union man solely because he ia hot permitted to be a union man. And yet it is quite probable that the average adult Negro pays not very far from aa much in, the way of taxes to the school funds an is paid by the average member of the union that insolently demands a monopoly of the benefits of expendi ture U)>on work. — Chicago Inter Oeean.
