Find 5krti within, and work without." "Liberal--thought" ;in matters pertaining- to religion : may be . like ''conse'rva- ' tiam" in politics or affairs generally, it may be in the .one case so verv "liberal" as to destroy the fundamen tals of true religion and piety, as . in politics the "conservatism" may be. so broad as to amount to a;posUive ne gation of what is right and- necessary. Some religionists are so very "liberal" they would open wide the doors of the Ch u rch to al 1 -manner of belief, and; . cannot distinguishbetween the false and the true. There is a right and a wrongr but ordinarily the middle ground is the safe and proper ground. AV'hile it may toe really obnoxious to 'criticism to beso very "liberal" it is also equally " offensive to. be too' ex it reme.. When we see a Boston Uni tarian organ 'felicitating Itself on the spread of "liberal thought" among the ttoteseant churches, we are suspicious as V. e areiwlien. he "devil quotes scrips ture,'' 'brLlnfidelity or paganism talks of Bible truth af.4 the way of life. Not that an Unitarian is wicked and de ceitful like his Satanic majesty, or an infidel in the manner of Bob Ingersoll, : but the rejoicing in "liberal thought" may be to so broaden the doors that modern pagan's ! or rejecters of Christ as . Divine may be readily recognized - as orthodox and sound to the core. So broad is "liberal thought" that . The -Christian Register sees, or imagines if - sees; that with eUident' satisfaction and pleasure, it asksf: . . "Where are the men in. any height ened community' who really believe ' that any just sand friendly neighbor Is in 'danger of; eternal doom for not belonging to thej rigb kind of church1? Where, indeed, j a-V the Women any "longer who lie a ytke ' nights praying for, the conversion of good Unitarian, or Universalist husbands? The Uni tarian 'leaven' s the Conviction that the rood life may doubtless be "lived, and i aotually lived, apart from, any . !!-. .1.. UJ;f flnntrinf T ITl 3 r.at-tipiiinr scheme "of doctrine. This leaven is all abroad in the world. The essential teaching, of., the Unitarian churches has. not concerned itself with the metaphysical issue of the) Trinity or the hew criticism of" the Bible' or with the, naturj of Jesus," j ; - Christ is a ''ood, wise, grfat man, sent-on a special mission, as Mpses and" other Biblical characters were,) but He is purely,-essentially man and not God. That is uhitariahism as to the Saviour. It is no more Christian than any other f modern religion that denies the Divini-f ty of Jesus: The -strange thing with ' "liberal thought? is that it thinks what Jesus never thought and says what the 'Christ : never said. , He believed und said that He was Divine. The Uni- a Han .Solomon knows more than lhe"H Master knew. Hear ye Him He said He was "equal" jwith God. "In the be ginning" before worlds were made "was - tbe Wordi, fand- the Word was with God, and the Word was' God. The eanie was in the beginning with-God." We would emphasize "was" God and "with" God. "All things were made by Him" "all things," not a "part" were , made not' by some other being, but "by Him." Listen: ('Without, Him was'notV any thing made -that '.was made." ""Therefore the Jews sought the more to ikill Him, 'because He said also that God wks His Father, making Hiinself equal with "God." "He ought , to die, because He made Himself the Son of God' "I. and My Father are oner ; that ye may know and believe that the! Father is in me, and I inj Him." "Who, being in; the form uf I &oa, thought- it' not robbery to be equt jwitlf God.j' "For in Him dwell eth fall the the fulness of the Godhead bodijlV." - ...i i : ' :;f ' ; h if 4 '- : There are some passages in . Paul s second letter to Timothy, in the second chapter, to which we would refer brief ly; It is set forth how God isl faithful, both in rewards jand punishments. The apostle primarily states the jluties en- joined upon the ministry, but what applies to them jin part also applies to the disciples, to) the people who sit in the pews. The ;j'fa1thf til men" of the pulpit truly converted and consecrat ed men, of real piety and "good sol diers of Jesus Christ," are to enforce, -to expound, to - read the Scriptures, and to devote themselves to this most im portant york "not entangling them selvts ' with the affairs ef this life." But the men of -the pews are also to " encure hardness" and "to strive for Dnas'Leries" in order that they .with the ' ministers who are faithful and true may at last be; crownen'. , Men are slow to read, to study God's unerring, i'j.re vord of truth. They neglect the C'irirtian, Scripture, red forget is Lest of tidings or wvuJd forget if trey dil roi hear them from the p'i'pj;. The- human heart Is naturally .deceitful and sinful and will noj' love spiritual things or seek, the chief mercies of God that a one can make men happy and blessed forevermor. The Holy TJiUe lies dust-covered, unread, and bu fr tse. preaching if :lie W..r.! nVri would never hear.. b ' ir.uaded, and live. Rut among men "who. are suf ficient for these things?" A .man to pi?:h Use truths of Gd ahonln iml-r-stand them both in theory and prac tice. He should be Intellectually equip ped by study as -weft as by Chris tian f experience;: 'lie should know, whereof .he speaks. He should above all things -'be strong in the graqe that is ih: Christ Jesus." lie "should know the Scriptures . thoroughly well and have;; an experimental knowledge -of the same, illumined by the Holy Spirit and "strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might." If he is not f An deed with the power, from on high," and is. not intellectually; quali fied by study he may "not endure hard ness" as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, lie may shrink under trial from duty and yield to difficulties. He will not- be "crowned", except he strive lawfully" Perseverance, fidelity,, zeal, consecra tion, wisdom, horse-sense, learning in the Scriptures of Inspiration are es sentials not to be spurned or neglected. The pew has, great and solemn duties .also, and woe be to the man who does not perform. them up "to the measure of his ability." "If we deny Him, He also twill deny us.'' God will forever .fulfil His part of the contract. "It is a faithful saying, For if we are dead with Him, we shall also live with Him." He will reward and -He will punish acr cording to His promise. Odd" cannot and will not -"deny Himself." The blessed Saviour told His disciples and us, that ''whosoever shall deny me be fore men, him will I alsb deny before My Father which is in Heaven." Re member that this is not all of life to live, ; and that, when' this - poor, lit- tlf. unsatisfying life is ended that af ter it all, after death itself, there is "the judgment,':' Seel Hebrews 9:27. God "abideth faithful." Let men "strive lawfully" and faithfully for the higher, the larger life, that they may be "crowned" in the upper and better Kingdom, After writing that we saw a clipping we had taken recently from a religious exchange. : The Celebrated and . fi-ery gifted and most marvellous preacher, Rev. Frederick W. Robert son, of the' English Established Church, who died in his very prime, less than 40 years of age, said more Quotable, admirable things than any preacher of the last half century.. He said this, and it is pertinent to a part of the above: '." "I think the strictness of self -examination for ministerial fitness in con tained in that solemn,' searching ques tion ; of our Lord, thrice repeated, 'Si mon son of Jonas, lovest thou Me more than these?' It is' not ;a-minister's , wis dom,1 but his conviction, which imparts itself to others.: Nothing gives life but life. . Real flame alone kindles other flame. This was the power of the apos tles. 'We believe, and therefore speak.' Firm faith , in . what they spoke, that was the basis of the apostles' strength; but in us there one thing wanting- ......... we only half believe." SALMAGUNDI. Messrs. B. F. Johnson & Co., the book publishing company in Richmond, Va is doing a considerable business. They are? sending out a dozen or so educa tional works that can not fail to prove beneficial and stimulating to the south. This publishing of a southern series lias been progressing for sevpefal years', and thebooks have been Widely dis tributed in the several states of south land. Some years ago' we directed at tention to two of their books Mrs: Lee's larger ."History of the United States,' and , Miss Manly's "Southern. Literature," The "Advanced .School History of the United States" by Mrs. Susan Pendleton Lee, is wide ly t used and generally praised. Even a Boston paper had favorable words for it. Southern teachers and editors have given very cordial" in dorsement. It is 'a "well bound, octavo of 612. pages, price $1 and very cheap, and well printed in clear, large type. While true to the south it is true to facts and not unfriendly to the, north or to the American Union. Miss Louise Manly had added "Questions and Summaries for Reviews and. Essays." The work is for schouls, but it is an excellent work for the households. Mrs. Lee writes 1 entertainingly, Clearly and with taste and judg ment. The schools : in North Car olina will be the better by introducing it instead of using other histories that are not written in fairness, but are hostile and. false. ,1 -- . !' .H. - - :i . - :. .- Mrs. Lee hasa second work. VA Brief History of the! United States." ; which is neatly bound, contains 41C pages, and like the large" work, is il lustrated. It is the very work for the younger classes in United Srateshis tory. There is also a Summary for es says and reviews. Price 75 cents. It is the duty af southern boards of education and- southern principals of schools to introduce good educational books by southern. authors. It is right 'every way. It is just to all that this should be done. Mrs. Lee has ' prepared still anothei useful volume ''Primary School His tory of the United States." It. too, is well illustrated, well printed, on good paper,' and -well bound. It contains 246 pages and. will answer excellently for the younger students in their country's remarkable and romantic history that is so well calculated ; to capture the youthful mind and' hold it through the years. It contains the best outlines in a simple, pleading style. Iet4i t introduced in southern cbolj Kce 50 cents. - fciSf-V "Southern Literature"' was i-id three or four yearn aso.

It becomes of practical interest because of the reaching out. revolutionary policy J threatening- the United States by reason of the late war with Spain. Our government went to war to liberate Cuba, and give it free- acyn an d independence, a government of its otwn. Now the plan of the 'ma jority pt-rhaps is to annex all the many islands belonging to Spain. We refer .to this because Mr. Ireland's paper throws sonle light upon, "Tropical ex periencis" 'of the nations. Many les- sons to the pas nations instruct could be .drawn from" i The Colonial history of the. might be important in its t'eachings to the United States. Mr. Ire land gives two' illustrative facts that are botn suggestion and commentary. They bring up a matter that might provoke large discussion, while furnish ing a commentary upon national ex ploiting without first counting the. cost. Mr. Ire and sums up. in this wise: ' "We iind tlfat Holland has succeeded in Java, where the population is com posed, c f Malayans, and forced labor has joeen exacted; that she: has failed in Surinam, where the population is largely negro, and where no compul sion has! been used; that England has failed hereyer the population is- com posed of negroes and has attained 'a moderat e success only where East In dian -L! .borers form a considerable proportion of the population, and a contrac .-labor system is in force; final ly, that wherever, in those colonies .which have been dealt with, any con siderable industries exist; the East Indian- indentured immigrant Is found doing t ie work. . -.- '' " Any. attempt to govern the tropical possessions of the united States on demorcatic principles .is "doomed, to certain (failure.
