The virtue -aod con servatism wbioh resists foreign ib vision are found in the country thtjy ar attached to the soil The local newspaper Is the mouth piece of the country-man. ijt voices his wants, reflects his sent! moots, advocates bis views. It is his best medium of public ex pressioo. Local public sentiment cannot , now be well organized without it for, any good. Work, moral, material, or clviL The common, medium ol . expression must be next to the: people it must dwell as well as circulate among them, ionr local inter ests a re little regarded by Su t- siders unless you yourselves show you r regard by having pub lic sentiment intelligently crys- talized . opon vital questions They must be djscossed freely and publicly among, yourselves. Your local newspaper tis, in good hands, your best public prosecu tor. Crime slinks away before it like a jackal at the breaking of the day; Righteous indignation at wrong in high places finds vent throught its columns. You need not look to the cen- tersfor just recognition either of your meritsor your needs. A thousand localities are drumming their multiform interests into the dull and tired ears of city life- ears confused already with the many-tongued voice of trade. They will not beed your complaint unless you hav locally organized power which can oe teit,anaa com mon voice which can bebeard. If you are asleep, a little flattery or cajolery carefully administered once" in two or four years will suffice to keep you quiet till your opportunity is past If you are disorganized your threats will be disregarded: you are not well enough decided about what you want to make an united demand for it.

It may be that some organ of monopoly tells yon that r ou are floating on the high tideof prosperity, or repeats the oft-told lie that legisltaion cannot affect the laws of trade. It would close its columns against a refu tation however well tempered. If you have an organ among you which lives by the faith you have . .. . i in it ana not oy tne campaign funds it will puncture such bub bles. It is true that much of your lack of prosperity is due to yourselves. It is true that intel ligent diversity of crops would checkmate monopoly legislation in a great degree. It is true that much time is spent in carp ing which should be spent in labor. But it is also true that you are the sovereigns except when you abdicate your thrones.; that you are charged with the dutv of self government; that it is your business to know what all your public servants are doing and bow much they are making; that you have a right to know bow mocb all public corpt rations are making and bow much taxes they are paying; and 1 mean by public corporations all who ask any public privileges such as the urivllisres of highways and the right to condemn land. Their officers are also your public ser vants. because they have asked and obtained from you some of the functions of Government and some of them are smart enongh to uiake yon believe that the peo ple have nothing to do with bow i hey conduct, their business. Perhaps there are papers even In ibis State which would not pub lish what , I am now writing and yet I ' have ; let drop a truth. whereon, at ttls juncture, bangs 11 the law and the prophets of self government It needs to be taught In the school room that any corporation wnicn asus tu diacbarga a public function is a public servant and must be ab solutely controlled by the people aa they do their other servants. and that for this very reason the people mast say how much they shall make, what profit they shall earn, what taxes they shall y. All these things must be dis cussed plainly, freely, fearlessly and they.ean bnly. beaodisoussed by a paper which ib in toucn wun ine people" is aepeouentupon them .for Its life aods Its light, The: people wno 'cannot build up such a paper do not deserve and wilf; not havVmuch'pYavshowicfg for jkoy of Ibe f-oocfnhinga.wbtpn are obtained and , preserved by intelligent organization tad dil. igeuce in their publioaffalrs. .

Christmas is celebrated in Swe den to an extent unknown here, and the celebration is not over till Jan. 13, or "twentieth day Yule." A very pretty feature of the fes tivities is thus described by Mr. Thomas in bis "Sweden aud the Swedes:" 'One wintry afternoon at Jul- tide I bad been skating on a pretty lake three miles from Gothenburg. On my way home noticed that at every farmer s house there was erected in the middle of the dooryard a pole, to the top of which was bound a large, full sheaf of grain. "Why is this?' I asked my com rade. " Oh, that's for the birds the little wild birds. They must have a merry unrisimas, too, you know.' - "Yes, so it is; not a peasant in Sweden will sit down with his children to a Christmas dinner indoors till he has first raised aloft a Christmas dinner for the little birds that live in the cold and snow without" A iitt to Give. It is often difficult to decide what to get your friends for holiday gifts Hers is a suggestion: "Good morning, Jennie, I have brought you a nice present,' said Gertrune, as she handed her friend a neatly wrapped package. The pale, weary looking girl, wno was slowly recovering from severe illness, opened the bundle and neict up a large bottle of clear, rioh med icine. "Hood's Sarsaparilla!" she ex claimed. ""I have been reading about it today and wished I bad a bottle." -' On New Year's Day Jennie was ableto be out .on the street, and to her friends who remarked how well shewas looking she simply said. VHood'snSarsaparilla,: and every one of them knew it was this great medicine that lad given back her health. " ' , SO CUBE ISO PAY. .

" At the time of. the Wse of the Society of Friends, the outwird forms of religion were Observed to such an extent thaf the inward work of Christ seemed tobe large ly overlooked; hence the burden of their taints try seemed lo be to call ' men from outward observ ances to listen tor the still; small me precious uuiuub J we jj.uijf Spirit believing tbat as a reprov er "of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment" He works in every soul; and that as these re proofs and warnings are heeded, the Holy Spirit in another of bis offices, will guide into the truth; for ' He shall testify of me" saith the Saviour; and again, "He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and shall show itunto you." To such as these he enters the heart as the abiding Guest the Comforter. The guidance-of the Spirit became one of the impor tant truths proclaimed by Friends, and some of their prac tices have been the outgrowth of this belief. Friends differ from other de nominations in many important particulars. In their manner of worshipthey are strikingly differ ent Holding tbat Ubrist alone is the head of every gathered as sembly, and that every believer is a priest unto God, tbey could have no pre arranged service, but were to gather in the stillness of all .flesh with hearts bowed in adoration, and any one in the as sembly could engage in vocal service as moved thereto by the Holy Spirit whether in test! mo ny,- or prayer, or praise. . Vocal service in song was not disap proved as recorded by Robert Barclay, but was to be engaged in under the movingsof the Spir it just as the ministry and prayer The Scriptures appear to have been consulted by early Friends in their public work as the occa sion seemed to require, i v As to the ministry Friends be lieved that the gift had been con ferred by the great Head of the church upon women as well as men, and when it became man! feat that such a gift bad been be stowed upon a person the cherch publicly acknowledged the same; but the ministers were not toform separate class to be supported bv tbe church.but were to be em ployed in ordinary occupationrfor a living when not engaged in pub- lio service; but the church was to be ready to bear the expenses of them when they felt called to go away from borne, and was to see to the needs of their families and business daring their absence. Friends believe that to be a true gospel minister there was no need ot a theological course of study In preparation for it which rather cramped than furthered the free flowing of the, gospel message; bat tbey recognised the value of a good education, and George 7 Fox desired , that the members should take car. for the education of their children and let them be taught all things "use f ol and civil in creation. In recognizing the gifts of wo men it Was later grab ted to them (o hold separate sessions for the transaction of .business, wbioh baa doubtless had an influence in developing in Quaker women an independence of thought and ac tion which is perhaps more mark ed thanattong women of other denominations. As to Baptism they believe that the baptism that doth now save us is " not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, and that the only baptism need ful is the baptism of the Holy Ghost. And the Lord's Supper lhey did not believe to be binding upon the church as an outward rite, but tbat we must inwardly be- Icome partakers of the Divine na ture, and thus continually eat of the broken body and drink of the spilt blood of the Lord Jesus. The intense spirituality of the teachings of Friends, their intro- flpection to find out the mind of the Spirit led to great circum spection of life and conduct so .that in the Society's earlier days a Friends word was as good as his bond. A Friend could not take or ad tpirister an' oath, believing tbat Christ's command, "Swear not at all" applied to all conditions and circumstances. Neither could he engage in war, nor if drafted into the army could he furnish a sub stitute, for he plainly saw that all war is contrary to the spirit of Christ, , and that if the demands of bis country conflicted with the commands of ChrisV'ihe must if it required the laying down of his life. Friends have always ad vocated Arbitration for the set tlement of difficulties among in dividuals and nations, a principle which has gained many adherents from other denominations in these later days. A Friend could not go to law with a fellow member, but tbe church was to settle their difficul ties. 'Neither could he join any se cret society, nor take part in any of their public displays and pro cessions, for tbe tendency of all secret societies was regarded as evil, however much tbey might appear to be for the promotion of good. Friends could take no part in gaming or lotteries, and were to avoid frivolous amusements and diversions. It is an established custom of tbe Society to look after tbe needs of their poor members and allow no Friend to go to the poor house for support Regarding marriage not .as a mere civil contract buta religious act tbey have obtained tbe sane tion of the law to a simple cere mony, in which the parties them selves, in a religious meeting, re peat the vows without tbe enter vention of minister or magistrate. Believing it to be a great ad vantage to children to be brought up within tbe pale of the church, Friends regard children as birth right members if born of parents who are both members; and par ents- are expected duligentiy to instruct their children in the principles of the christian religion as believed by Friends. It is expected that tbe heads ot every household shall daily read tbe Scriptures in their family, with a season of reverent waiting upon God, in which there shall be perfect freedom for utterance, and parents are advised to pray with and for their children. A reverent pause for thanks giving was to be observed before each meal, and while Friends did not have the form of say iag grace as it is called, it Is not probable tbat they expected the thanksgiv. ings to be always silent There ' are customs among Friends which are often termed (Continued on 4th page.)
