holiness, and towards a world cursed by
Adam's sin, and therefore necessarily a
world of temptation; and thus giving it
an inclination towards temptation.
This is aptly set forth by a Scriptuie
illustration: '-The fathers have eaten
sour grapes and the children's teeth are
set on edge," and when the teeth come
in contact with that with which they
must cine in contact when the child
has teeth, they will hurt. The most
pliniary and neeessaiy condition of the
plan of salvation is.that it is for a world
where all are sinners. Infants and
idiots are not sinners; and therefore its
only application to them is, that, by the
Atonement they were permitted to live
at all; and having by it been permitted
to live, and not being dinners, of course,
dying in that state, they go to hea
ven. Cut how is a child, dying in infancv.
to have this inclination removed ? We
answer, that, when it gels to heaven
there is nothing that constitutes the in
clinatioii. If it were compelled to come
back from the dead and live again in
this world, the inclination (-ouli( iot
be removed, only by the process of re-
geiiev.it ion when it came to have any
thing upon w hich the forces of regener
tioli could act: because it would come
again iu e-.titact with that which wotdd
hart the teeth; but, dving in infancy
and going to heaven where there is ;
nothing to hurt the teeth, they would !
nevei hurt. That i- to say, that dyin
in infancy, the child' ir-t thought in
heaven is where there i nothing to
tempt it to wrong, and is therefor.' g.yod
and right, never having known sin.
The inclination being lost, and the
child never having been a sinner in
thought, feeling or get, (and it could be
a sinner in no other propel oeiir-o.) it
g-es on thinking and being good for
ever. To recapitulate brietly: Thought,
feeling, action, constitute a necessary
Condition-precedent to regeneration. An

FKOSI'ERITY IX TIIK CHURCH.
I). Aubigne .said that "piety and pow
er are the two elements of prosperity in
the church : the first true, the second
false." We should never lose sight of
the fact that it is possible for a church
greatly to prosper in tho world's estima
tion, when it is losing its piety, and has
lost, its power with Cod. The power of
wealth and numbers may be obtained,
w hile the true internal power of faith is
lost. A worldly church, like an ir.di-
vidua!, may have "th" form of (iodli-
n .... i ....i i ii j. '
ness" and not the power. Hence it is a
matter of the greatest importance that
churches should look well to the purity
of its membership.
I iigo.lly men iu the church, either as
ministers or laymen, never fail vo tMke
the di.bisiv e bate 'ff W'ld'lK gloiy, of
fered by th" adversary of souls. A
minister may have great x.eal to extern
the i loci lines and usages of I he chinch
to which he is attached, without pos
sessing any degree of piety. It may be
a mere zeal for the ingathering of
wealth, mimhcLS, and influence. Hut
such is not the true prosperity of the
chinch oi (oil What Christ ;said to
men, as individuals, is applicable to
the church : "Seek ye first the kingdom
of Cod and all these things shall be ad
ded." The first business of the church is to
establish piety in tho hoaiLs of men, and
the church that fails to have a pious
membership, is an entire failme in the
sight of Jod, however grand may be its
appearance before the eyes of the w orld.
There hi,a begi; tendency in all ages
to substitute forms for faith, and power
for piety, and this is because men judge
by outward appearances. The only
safety from this delusion is in a truly
spiritual ministry. A converted minis
try. A ministry full of faith : full of
devotion ; wrestling with Cod continu
ally in prayer. A ministry that trusts
more iu (iod's promises than in rhetoric,
and seeks its power more from the illu
minating spirit within, than from the
logic lound i if books'. A. miiti.-try tliftj;
is truly iu earnest for the salvation of
lost souls. Where the chief desire is to
bring the wanderers back to Cod. Such
a ministry. geue;iiiiy keeps the church
too warm lor the eomioi-l, oi niei- formal
professors. 1 rigid animals cannot en-.
dure the torrid y.one. They will huiij.
for if. colder climate. Keep the church
warm with fervent piety, and worldly
power will take second rank.
It is important that the church should
he on the alert upon tins sudjcci : men
are so prone to adore vain things and to
l..se tdgljt of the secret soiirres of pow
er, while they are admiring exterior
movements, that we cannot be too much
j awake in this direction.
Au eiiruest, devoted, prayerful, deeply
pious minister will do more real good
iu one year than a mere formalist will
iu a l'fetimc. Forms may constitute
the body (f tlie cliijieh, but piety must
constitute the soul. When the soul de
parts, the body dies, and goes to decay,
and other organizations feed upon its
lisintegrated particles. 'Jo perpetuate
the living body, keep the soul alive and
active. To keep the church prosperous
and in perpetual increase, keep the holy
fires of a pure laith forever burning iion
her altar.,. E. L. P.

AA'e are favored, says tho Wesleyan
Christian Adoooate, with a long pri
vate letter from our honored and beloved
brother Allen, written from New York,
August 7, the night he sailed for Fng
land, en route lor China. Only two or
three items we feel at liberty to give to
the public. J)r. Allen's visit, at this
time, was, as we believe, a providence
to the Church. He has grown upon us
all from the first and so has the China
mission and his peculiar work. We
shall have more to sa about this work
hereafter. A thousand prayers follow
our brother on his voyage. China w ill
never seem so far away again. Long
will Allen's words linger in our ears;
long may his spirit animate our hearts !
The letter has this message :
"Remember me kindly, affectionately
to everybody, especially to the l-ishop
and oid Dr. Pierce. Tell the brethren
how dearly I love them and how much
I am indebted to them every way. My
visit to America has been a great bless
ing to me and, if in anything 1 have
been able to servo the Church," I thank
iod.
One other paragraph we quote (and
beg our dear friend's pardon) that our
readers may see w hat manner of man
this is.
"The hour has come at last, but un
pen almost refuses to write the last
words. How my heart strings tighten
about the dear friends J am leavin-- be
hind. 1 feel the parting much more
now than I did at the first leaving. yor
I cannot hope to come again after anoth
er twenty years. And should I come
how sad it will be ! 1 have no pleasure
in the thought. I go again to give my
life to China. My heart is there ; there
is my home and, iod willing, there I
hope to be buried, and that my tomb
stone may attest this, at least; 'He
was faithful unto the end.' "

Rev. F. T. Parker is contributing a
series of valuable articles, with the above
title, to the Christian .Idcocate and
Journal. We insert the first of these
articles entire, and ask that it may re
ceive special attention, as its facts i
valuable;
"The total production of distilled
spirits in the Fnite.l States in 1S74, as
per rcjiort of the Commissioner of In
ternal R jvenue, was 0,7li ,"("2 gallons.
In lHjO, before such great iiidiiceme'ils
to defraud the revenue existed, the
amount wan ,tf(li,0.s. gallons. It is.
therefore, probable that" at least HM),
000,000 gallons were produced in 175.

it never had jiaid move than TJ.i,000

I think, thoivfore, that J am safe in es
timating the annual eoiisunijitioii at

The follow ing letter conies to us from a
leader in one of the old I order '.inferences.
The writer is one of those "conservative
Methodists" who Ktuck to the M. F.
Church in lSliO, when radical Metho
dists were anxious to put all the border
out, of our communion. The fidelity of
such as he saved us the border and the
Fnioii in the dark days, and the class
have earned by suffering for us the right
to respeetful answers. Here aro his
juestious :
"The loll. i in- ipiesl ions I w ould
submit and do not doubt but you can
answer them as they ought to be, and
by doing so you will place the parties
referred to in a light to be better under
stood, and you will confer a favor on
many of voip" jij.tn.us and readers :
. i i 1 ... i i , - i i
i . is not tne unci riuai aim ecclesias
tical economy of the M. F. Church,
South, .iinl that .4 the M. F. Church
essentially the. same '
"2. Are not the forms and the fruits
of the evangelism of these two churches
identical '!
':. Was there i.ol au arrangement,
mutual and authoritative, made by the
representatives of these churches to seek
and maintain fraternal relations ?
"4. Would it not be in violation of
that arrangoiitem. and not only so, but
of general Christian comity as well, for
the M. F. Church, South, in any locali
ty w here the M. P.. Church was organiz
ed and sufficient to meet the religious
wants of the c miiiuuit y to seek to
establish a congregation simply because
some of tho Methodists there were dis
affected toward the M. F. Church ?
"5. And would it not be an eijual
misdemeanor and bad faith for the M.
F. Church to act in that way toward
the M. F. Church, South ?
"ti. Would it h.t be. more Christian,
and more in harmony w ith church fra
ternity and with the conventional and
personal professions of Methodists, for
each of these Umno.-. to assist the other
in promoting harmony, stability and en
largement iu the fields they occupy re
spectively "'
"7. Aic not tho M. F. Church,
South, and the M. F. Church more
closely one, and more sacredly pledged
to fraternal intercourse w ith each other,
than they are to othei Christian de
nominations ainl to other bodies of
Methodbmi ?
"8. Ioes not economy in the employ
ment of men and means, as unity of ac
tion and the success of the work, require
that fraternity in the fullest sense be
maintained ?
"). Are there any issues, geographi
cal, political, social or eeelesiastieal, of
any weight in this matter comj.ared
with the unity and success of Metho
dism in 'spreading scrij.lumV tu.i'in-ss
over these lands ?'
A Mktiioiiist."
Our friend's questions scarcely need
an answer. All of them will be answer
ed in just one way by the true friends of
fraternity. The two communions are
exactly alike; according to our own
juiblie confession and boast they con
stitute one Methodist Fjiiseojial Church.
W e should most seriously object to au
effort of the Southern branch to establish
societies in this Slate. I!' they had
five thousand iu a territory w here we
had one hundred thousand members we
should affectionately urge them to take
wit h us measures to unite their weak
with our strong societies. We should
protest against their setting up political
objections to unity and diffusing among
Democrats distrust of our Methodism
and charges that, as a religious organi
zation, we pledged to deprive all but
ourselves and our friends of the bless
ings of local self-government.
The time has come to take account of
the situation, and to adjust ourselves to
the unity of Fj.ise.q.al Methodism. Let
il bind li and heal, combine and
streiightlien. We have, with the Lord's
holji and blessing, recovered our fellow
ship, and the immense advantages of
common aims, work and syinjiathy may
be easily secured and transmitted to our
children. Those who indulge in re
proachful and denunciatory language
toward either body are disturbers of the
great Methodist peace, and if they hold
official positions they are also unfaithful
in the trusts they were appointed to ad
minister they are placing their person
al ambit ions above the interests of that
united Methodism which the Church
has recognized. xV. Y. 3ettodist.
AYOIDIXC SINS OF FY FRY AP
PFARAXCF. "Abstain from all appearance of evil.'' ThefRalon
iauB T.
Heiu". is a precept which in its most
obvious and literal sense cannot be
obeyed, it has therefore been a source
of much trouble to many a conscientious
Christian. The teaching of the Scrip
ture must be obeyed; and here is a com
mand which no strength of intellect, no
skill, no high moral sense, no sjiotless
ness of life and sanctity of souls can
possibly fulfill.
The difficulty of the rule, as it stands
in our version, is sinijily this : There is
nothing so good that it may not appear
evil; to the evil all, even best things,
seem evil; j'ou can always make your
act good, but you cannot always make
it "appear" good to another; the charac
ter of the act depends on you, the "ap
pearance" of the act on him.
What, then, did the Apostle mean ?
If you hold to these j.recise Fnglish
words, you come near his meaning by a
different collocation : "Abstain from
evil, of all appearance." Against what
was he warning his Thessaloiiian breth
ren ? Against something apparent, or
against something real ? Against what
they Could not avoid, or against what
they could f.void ? Surely the latter.
Look at the context. In the verse next
j .receding, he says: "Prove all things;
hold fast that w hich is good." As if
he had said : Do not d-j.eud on appear
ances; proM' the thing; it may appear
evil, w hen in very deed it is most good,
if you find it really good, hold fast to
it, "no matter, how evil it seems in some
men's eyes. His doctrine simply is,
fold to the good, and k-p from the
evil, regardless of ajtiearanccs. This
is the very reverse of what some fanatics
teach, and all hypocrites practice. To
them, reputation is everything, charac
ter nothing. They reverse the old
maxim, aud seek to seem, and not ta be.

Not so Paul. Character was the first
thing with him. Jlc would take care
of his character. He left his reputation
yery much to take care of itself, believ
ing that a good character wa. the most
probable security for a good reputation.
Not that he loved his reputation less,
but that he loved his character more.
And so he would have his brethren; and
so, dear people of my congregation, I
would have yon.
The lesson is. tolal abstinence from
w hat is really evil. The complementa
ry thought is, that evil can never be
good by a mere change of apiiearaucc.
1 he first thing you must decide, iu re
gard to ee v oiuiuoii and habit of
thought, every emotion and habit of
it cling, every act an.l course of conduct.
is, whether it is really and essentially
evil. Your standard of evil is not to be
the cll'ect of an action ou your own com
fort or position in society. The only
.-it a in lard is the will of Cod. Wliat
pleases Cod is good, and what displeas

Does anybody realize the value of ;t
good cow ? We do not mean the mar
ket value, for this is regulated by a
comparative and arbitrary standard.
We pay large juices for work mules,
still larger ones for our carriage and
saddle horses, but no one stojis to con
sider the true worth of the meek, quiet
and unpretentious cow.
Let us illustrate. A first class Jer
sey or Durham cow will give four gal
lons of milk daily for six months; for
the next three mouths she will yield two
gallons daily and for tins next two
months one gallon daily. This make
a total yield of li'ne hundred and sixty
gallons in eleven months. She should
be dried at least one month before calv
ing. Now reckoning this milk at city
prices forty cents per gallon tho
amount whicli Mrs. Mooly brings to her
owner's pocket is the nice little sum of
three hundred and eighty-four dollars !
From this deduct a liberal price for her
extra food one hundred (lobars and
you have the sum of two hundred an.l
eighty-four dollars as net receipts. This
is the interest, at ten per cent, on twenty-eight
hundred and forty dollars the
true value of such a cow ! Yet we
think ourselves candidates for the insane
asylum if we pay $150 for such an ani
mal. Now, reduce the quantity of the milk
as low as it can be done in fact, and
reduce its vabye one-half also, which it
is always worth and it will ho difficult
to find any good cow that will not pay
ten per cent, interest on $500 to $1000
and these figuij should determine tho
true value of the animal. In the country
there may be no sale for miik. .utter
milk or cream cheese, but these articles
have a value in every household, no
matter where situated.
We know a gentleman of this city
who paid twenty dollars for a common
"Creole cow" with a young calf bv her
side. In a year's time Iip had actually
sold her milk, in some shape, for $252,
paying out $00 for her extra feed, leav
ing him $102 net receipts on an invest
ment of $20, besides having all the
milk required for his own fa mil. This
really places the value of such a cow,
financially considered, at $11)20. Any
prudent man would be satisfied to in
vest a small amount of money at this
rate of interest, and take tho small
chance of loss.
It is becoming pretty generally un
derstood among stock raisers that a
first class milker cannot be sold at any
thing like her true value. The climate
we have made one of them based on
actual facts renders it certain that
their views are correct. We do not
blame a pnrcliascr for resorting to any
honorable means to procure his stock at
the lowest possible price, but, if figures
don't lie, he stands small ebaacc of
getting cheated, no matter what price,
he pays. Our Home Journal,
