ject what a large-amount of
tiik en rum's kksoikcks

undeveloped. The P.ible intimates
that that was a very rich land, this
'land of Israel. It says,' "The stones
are iron, and out of the hills thou
;malt dig brass;" and yet hundreds
mid thousands, of dollars worth of
T.tliis metal was Wept -under the hills.
Well, that is the lillicult with the
'hiireh of (iod at this 'dav. ; Its tal-
4 -ut is not developed. If one half of
its energy could be brought out.it
anight take the public iniquities ot
the dav bv the . throat .and make
them bite the dust. If human clo
ouence were consecrated to the Lord
"Jisus Christ, it would in a few years

iXow, is it riot time for the mining to
begin, ami the piek-axes to jJunge,
and for this buried metal to be
brought hut and put into the fur

and carbines of the Lord's host?
M The vast majority of Christians in
this tlay are useless. The most of
tlie Lord's battalion belong to the

are asleep in the hammocks. The
Inost of the metal is under the hills,

that we want all the energies, all the
talent and all the wealth enlisted for

can. They are the most overworked
class on earth. Many of them die
of dyspepsia because they cannot get
the right kind of food to eat, or, get

that they take it, down in . chupks.
They die from consumption, coming
from early and late exposure. If a
novelist or a historian publishes one
book a year, he is considered indus
trious. -But every faithful pastor
must jiginate enough thought lor

III. Again I learn from this sub
ject that we sometimes do well to
take advtfntag of
TIIK WoKI.n s OUINPSTo.NKS...
These Israelites were reduced to a
tile, and so they "went over the gar
rison of the Phillistines to get their
axes, and their goads, and their
ploughs sharpened. The lible dis
tinctly states it the textj widvh I
read at the beginning of the service
that they had no other ' insirunicnts
now wiih which to do this work,
and the Israelites did right when
they went over to .the Philistines to
use their grindstones. My friends,
is it not right for us to employ the
world s grindstones? If tbere heart,
if there be logic, if there" be business
faculty on the other side, let us'go
over and employ it, for Christ's sakei
Thefact is. we tight with too dull
weapons, a"nd we work with too dull
implements. We hack and we maul,
when we ought, to make a clean
stroke. Let us go over among sharp
business men, and among sharp lit
erary nidi. and. find nit what their
tact is, ami transfer it to the cause ot
Christ. If they have ..science and s
art, it will do us good to rub against
it- ,v.
In other words, let us employ the
world's grindstones. We will listen
to their, music, and we will watch
their acumen, and we will
I SK TII K1U ;H INKS I'oNKS,
and will borrow their philosopical
ajrparatus to make -our experiments,
and we' will borrow their printing
presses to publish our Pibles, and we
will borrow their rail-trains to carry
our Christian literature, and we will
borrow their ships 'to transport our
missionaries. That was what made
Paul such a master in his day.- He
not only got all' the learning he
could get out of Doctor Gamaliel,
but atVrward, standing on Mars
Hill, and in crowded thoroughfare,
quoted their poetry, and grasped
their logic, and wielded their' elo
quence, and employed. their mythol
ogy, until Dionysius the Areopagite,
learned in e schools of Athens and
Heliopolis,' went. down under his
tremendous powers.
This was what gave TJionia Chal
mers his powers in his day. He con-

xTlie dudi. ial Ticket.
RAi.EidH,- N. c, Oct. 10, bssc.
To the Voters of North Carolina:
As propriety does .not permit can
didates for judicial office." in this
Shite to plead for their election bv
speeches or writing, 1'begtosava
wt.rd in behalt of the DenuH-ratic
candidates on bur judicial ticket.
Our candidates for Congress, for the
Legislature, for the office of Solicitor
and our other canvassers have told
you what Democracy has done for
the State and why its rule shall be
continued that it has settled our
Shite debt ; that it has restored our
credit ; that it has don-bled our mile
age of railways ; that it Jias given us
honest government; that it has re
duced our taxes'; that it has given
us good schools, that it has given us
peace at home and resixctabilitv-
abroad, fcc, Ac. These facte are all
true ami are a sufficient reason why
Democratic officers in all depart
ments shall continue to serve us.
Nothing is more important to any
people than a pure, fearless and able
judiciary. Such a bench we now
lave in North Carolina and the
voters of the State must see to it that
is needless to 'do more than pro
nounce the names of our candidates
for the supreme court, the jurists
who now constitute that court,Smifch,
Ashe and Merrimon ; their integrity,
courage, wisdom and legal learning
is conceded by nil. Their industry
is a marvel to the profession. Nor
need anything Vie said in praise of
Avery and Graves, who have served
many years .if superior court judges
and are known and respected
throughout our borders ; nor of Con
nor, Clark, Roykin and Montgomery,
whoKo bc f vice, has not been so long,
hut whose praises are in the mouths
of the people in every countv in
whieb tliev have held court. The
only candidate we .present, who has
not already served on the Ikmk h, is
aines II. Merrimon, of !UiTMyjbe,
ind his high character tit home, his
ability as displayed in bur State
Senate and bis largo and successful
pra'ctiee in the mountain .counties
md in the supreme court are sulh-
eient guaranty of his competency
md fitness for the office. ' ,
I would not criticise the gentlemen
whose names are presented as their
opponent ; but I hazard nothing in
saying that no well informed man
should hesitate in making a choice
ictween the two tickets, and that
sonieof these gentlemen are unknown
to the legal profession even outside
d trie counties wnose courts iney
ittend. '-
Atone time it seemed probable
that ouf ticket, would have no oppo
sition ; but opposing candidates have
been named, ana it is the duty ot
i i . . i .
our friends to see to it that by no
accident, any one of-our candidates
is defeated. Audit is due to them
from all law-lovi'nir voters that they
be complimented by the largest vote
ever given for any candidates m th
State. R. H. Hatti.:.

for its incomparable drollery. He
had shortly liefore that time promul
gated through the press an address
to the public, taking leave of the
Democratic party a sort of a Wash

told here that his competitor in the

the time, for a copy of the addreea,
and that neither Republican nor

Pat being eo popular there that they
