ing up. Bro. Swank is now
preparing to begin '& new house
o< worship in this community
and prospects are bright for a
good organization. Several new
points joining the Valley Con
ference might be taken up with
good results if we but had the
men and means. May the Lord
hasten the day when men will
present themselves a living sac
rifice and consecrate a propor
tionate part of their means to the
upliftiug of humanity. Men
realize the necessity ot a finan
cial basis for everything ehe but
the spreading of the gospel, and
yet many either fail or refuse to
see any need pf finance to ac
complish the grandest object for
which man was created. Men
may claim to love God’s cause,
but unless there is a willingness
to make some sacrifice for the
upbuilding of this cause there is
but little manifestation of such
love. Let all who claim to love
the Christian .cause, under what
ever name they are laboring,
measure their love by what they
are willing to do to help spread
the Gospel, and if there is much
love in the heart for God, His
geople, and the dying world,
this will be a bright era in the
history of the Christian church.

Suffolk Letter
Rev. N. G. and Mrs- New
man have been visiting in 1 loly
Neck congregation for more
than a wdek. Nothing puts the
minister in touch with with his
people like house to house visi
tations. As Joseph Parker puts
it: “A house-going pastor will
make a church-going congrega
tion.” There are so many
things the preacher can learn in
the home that he cannot learn
from books. No one has been
able to write out a full history of
the home. There are colorings
and feelings in real experience
in the home that cannot be writ
ten in words or painted in pic
tures. “The greatest studj* of
mankind is man.”. The com
munity is a better school than
the library. But both are im
portant. There are some pnases
ct human thought and experience
that cannot be found in every
age much less in every neigh
borhood. The great preacher
is familiar with books, with
painters and sculptors, whose
masterpieces breath and speak
to the student, and at the same
time familiar with the people in
all their daily thoughts, com
plaints, aspirations, trials, and
religious convictions. It is as
important to know the theology
of the people to whom one dis
penses the word of life as to know
the theology of bishops and
councils.
Every face in society is a
page and every experience is
a great history. The demand
of society for pastoral visiting
is the expression of'great possi
bilities to the preacher. Here
is a secret greater than the se
cret of untranslated diplomas, or
high-sounding titles. Men who
wear titles honorably do not suc
ceed because they wear them,
but Wfear them because they-suc
ceeded. Real work in the study,
in the pulpit, and in the congre
gation, will bear fruit. I am not
lecturing preachers, I am relat
ing facts and setting forth prin
ciples. On the other hand, the
people may assist the pastor in
visiting, by co-operation. They
can look out tor those who need
attention most, inform the pastor,
stimulate him to vigorous work.

At the residence of the bride’s

Monell attended them to the al

organ music as they entered
and played softly “Nearer my

mony. The house was crowd
ed with guests. A splendid sup
per burdened the table in the
dining room, while keen palates
awaited the invitation to enter
and enjoy the viands. , Many
useful and ornamental presents
expressed esteem and good
wishes. Lives thus blended

It is now easy to see that the
time which remains to be spent
at Harvard is entirely too short
to learn and hear a sufficiency
of what would be so profitable in
a life of labor and service. Op
portunies: how they fly and are
gone! And a hero is he who
sees and grasps them while they
are; for ere long they are not
forever!
Only fragments of the winter’s
snow remain, and the promise of
a new season is now with us.
And who can have a nature so
blunted with Cares, or so ab
sorbed in the acquirements of
wealth, or so athirst for fame
and honor, or so insensible to
the love of God as shown in the
beauties,pf nature, as not to re
joice over the approach ot the
delightful season of flowers and
song. It is not infrequent dur
ing this transition period to have
rain and snow, sunshine and
storm all within the short space
of a .single day. But in these
periods, when the violent powers
of winter are so furiously con
tending with the balmy promises
of spring, it is gratifying to
catch the note of some summer
bird which, braver than the rest
of his kind, has ventured on
true and living principles, to
carol forth the welcome news
that spring will win the day.
Likewise in these days of
doubts and fears, when truth and
error are so mixed as to keep
one perplexed and worried, it is
pleasant to remember that there
is a solid foundation of truth if
one will but work himself down
to it. In these days in which
men are so tinged with self-love
and guided by self-interest;
when humanity is so treacher
ous ; when the teachings of men
are so conflicting ; when theories
are seen to be so misleading,and
books are found to be contradic
tory : under such circumstances
it is indeed pleasant and profita
ble to go out on some hillside
where the violets and forget-me
nots grow, and there converse
for a while with nature in its pu
rity and beauty. Ask the sweet
little messengers of love where
they have been all the cold,dark
winter; and why it is they are
not changed but are just as they
were last spring, and if they
will be the same alter another
period of gloom and death.
Their silence tells you that the
same Power that cares tor the
planets, cared for them through
the gloom. The;r beauty re
proaches you for asking why
they have not changed, for they.
are pretty enough as they are:
and their sweet odor which can
not be explainecf tell of the in
explicable love and wisdom ol
him who doeth all things for his
children well. After such a con
versation you will say that even
if the things that men have a
part in are partly false and con
tradictory, yet there is truth and
harmony of which God is the
author, and which the true intel
ligence can but see. Commune
then with nature, and talk with
the flowers; for conversation
with men is often hurtful, but a
talk with the flowers never.

The progress o! events in Cu
ba continues interesting 'to on
lookers. The revolutionists are
gaining ground. They issued
an appeal to Spanish residents,
and as a result, many influential
Spaniards, who formerly were
in sympathy with Spain, have
espoused t he cause of indepen
dence. It\iow looks as if Cu
ba is to gain her point, and es
tablish an independent govern
ment.
The question of bimetallism is
very prominent in the minds of
public men throughout the world
to-day. It is yet in doubt what
will be the action of the Interna
tional Bi-metalic Conference
that is called to meet soon, but
it is thought that progress in
that direction will be fnade,
which may finally result in the
double standard.
Tne former Spanish minister
to the United States has been
recalled, and a new one appoint
ed. This time it is Depuy de
Lome. Minister Thurston from
Hawaii was obnoxious to the
United States government, and
he has gone home; but it is not
yet known whether or not it is
permanent.
We trust that every pastor
will arrange for “The Chris

WASHINGTON LETTER.
OCR REGULAR CORRESPOHDENT.
•‘This is a Christian nation,” was the
positive assertion of Rev. Dr. Edward
Thompson, general manager of the Sun
day League of America, in astroug ser
mon preached in the Metropolitan
Presbyterian church. And Dr. Thomp
son proved by citing numerous historical
facts that the makers of the United
States intended it to be a Christian na
tion, notwithstanding the constant re
petition in certain quarters of the hack
neyed assertion that the absence of Cod
from the constitution was the result of
deliberate intention on the part of its
framers. Among the proofs cited by
Dr. Thompson were the followings:
That although there was no national
ffag during the first two years of the Re
volution Cen. Putnam used one on
which was inscribed: “An Appeal to
Heaven;” that when Washington was
sought to lead the armies he was found*
on his kuees praying to G<>d for the suc
cess of our arms; that the men, women
and children of the colonies cousantly
prayed to Cod for success; that when
Washington tendered his resignation he
commended the country “to the protec
tion of Almighty Cod;” that W ashing
ton said those who made the Constitu
tion borrowed none of the principles of
law from Solon, Lycurgus orNnma, but
from Moses and Christ, and that “it ?/as
the first constitution to recognize the
brotherhood of men;” that the constitu
tion recoguizes a Sunday law by saying
that the President shall have “ten days,
Sundays excepted, in which to consider
each bill;" that Justice Story said there
could have been no successful attempt
to abolish legislation as to Sabbath ob
servance; that the chief executive takes
the oath of office on the Bible; that Con
gress in 1812 spoke of the “Cod of bat
tles;” that the judiciary requires men to
swear or affirm “by the help of Cod;”
that J udge Cooley in au important de
cision affirmed that the religion of the
United States was Christian, a decision
afterwards coutirmcd by J ustice Brewer,
who said: “This is a Christian nation,”
and the government stamps on its coins:
“In Cod we trust ” Surely this was
evidence enough, if evidence were re
quired to prove that this is a Christiau
nation.
In church circles the seven days just
ended might appropriately be referred
to as Methodist week. The Baltimore
Conference (inadverdently called the
Washington conference in last week’s
lettei) of Southern Methodists came to a
close to-day. Its ministers have filled
many Washington pulpits during their
stay and all of them have added new
friends and admirers to the old ones
they had in this city. The reports
showed all the churches in this confer
ence to be iu a fairly properous condi
tion notwitnstanding the “hard times”
There was much talk before the confer
ence met of the probability of an at
tempt being made to have the confer
ence substitute the Epworth League for
the Christian Endeavor Societies in the
Southern Methodist churches and con
siderable feeling was aroused in connec
tion therewith, but no such attempt was
made, and so far as can be learned none
was ever contemplated. The Epworth
Leaguers do want their organization to
be represented in this conference and
steps have been taken by which they
hope to accomplish that purpose, but
they say they are not seeking compul
sory members.
A memorial service in honor of the
late Rev. Nathan Sites, D. D., who was
for thirty-four years a missionary of the
M. E. church, at Foochow, China, was
held in Metropolitan M. E. church Sun
day after-noon, with Bishop Hurst pre
siding. Dr. Baldwin, of N. Y., who
was for nearly twenty-two years as
sociated with Dr. Sites in Chinese mis
sionary work, made the principal ad
dress, and Bishop Ninde of Detroit, who
preached a powerful sermon on faith
from the same pulpit in the morning,'
and has just returned from China where
he spent last Christmas day with Dr.
Sites, paid a glowing tribute to his work
arming the Chinese. • The family of Dr
Sites are and have been for many years
members of the church in which the
memorial service was held. During the
service Dr. Johnstan, pastor of the
church; read letters of condolence from
Bishop Andrews, Bishop Mallalien, Dr.
A. B. Leonard, the missionary secre
tary, George Lansing Taylor, the poet,
and others.
The Anti-Saloon Teague is making a
strong effort to interest the colored peo
ple in the work of the League and one
of the ways it proposes to do it is to hold
mass meetings in the colored churches
and have them addressed by our best
temperance orators. The first of these
meetings is to be held on the after-noon
of Sunday, April 21, in Zion Baptist
church, which is in a locality where
temperance work is needed among the
colored people very badly.

the subject is both valuable and timely. In

the orthodox economics of’ the Manchester
school. Prof. Frank Parsons is one of tlio
most able and throughly equipped writers
on law aud economics in the coun ry to
day, He lias devoted bis I fe to the study of
law and economics, and he is recognized as
one of the most scholarly and authoritative
writers on the law In th.- United States.
Pis text-hooka are familiar to students all
over the country. He is one of the law lec

Gritlin, near Ivor, Va about tha lust of
February, 1895, Sister Mary Rawls the
I(oloved wife of the late Rev. Robert Rawls,
about 85 years of age.
She and her husband traveled the journey
of life together for quite a number of years,
until some years ago he was enlled from
labor to reward. Sinee that time she lived
with her children, who did everything, pos
sible to make life pleasant. During the
early part of my ministry, it was my priv
ilege to visit that • hristlan family and al
ways found her to be a most pleasant and
entertaining Christian lady, She was one
of the best < hristians 1 ever met. I had
great confidence in her religion aud feel
sure that she is resting in peace. She was
a most worthy and consistent member of
the Christian church, and greatly loved by
all who knew her. She leaves to mourn her
loss, five sons and one daughter and many
devoted friends. Farewell, mother, we boj.e
to meet you where no farewell word is said
and where no farewell tear is shed.

Another Sad Home in Isarel.
On the 14th of Feb., Little Loureen., a
daughter of Brother J. H. Boyd and wife
of Pleasant Grove, Va. after an illness of
about 40 hours, went to he with Jesus. She
left this world before she had time to know
anything about the little experiences so
common to this life. Sisti r Boyd said that
she was such a sweet child (even at the age
of ten months,) that the death caused such
a wide space in the family circle that could
never be filled. May the absence of that lit
tle angel who was just budding into life,
prove to be a rich means of grace to the
bereaved ones. The death angel lias visited
this home twice within the last twelve
months. But dear parents til is is no mark
of our Father’s anger but of his love.' Make
up your minds that whereas the dear one
cannot come back to live with you, you
can go to live with her.
In the Spring
Nearly everybody needs a good medi
cine. The impurities which have ac
cumulated in the blood during the cold
months must be expelled, or when the
days come, and the effect of bracing air
is lost, the body is liable to be overcome
by debility or some serious disease.
The remarkable success achieved by
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and the many
words of praise it has received, make it
worthy your confidence. We ask you
to give this mediciuc a trial. We are
sure it will do you good. Read the
testimonials published in behalf of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, all from reliable,

Circumstances.—On Sunday He had offered
himself to the Jews as their Messiah King, bv
entering the capital in triumphal rrocession
On Monday He had with kingly authority
driven out flora His Father’s house those who
were defiling it with worldly traffic, and per
formed miracles worthy of the Messiah, thus
presenting His claims again for their accept
ance. Once more He presents his claims and
makes known the-great opportunity offered the
people from God for earthly and spiritual sal
vation: and brings homo the truth to them ca
clearly as if written with a pencil of light on
the sky, by means of three parables, one of
which is given in to-day’s lesson. Theso para
bles are severe and threatening, “but the
spirit of them is love.” “In the deepest sense
He spoke them not against the-Pharisees, but
for them.”
LESSON NOTES.
God has intrusted to each of us a
blessed and fruitful vineyard, which
we are to culture for Him. He has
planted His new life in us. He has
given us our life, our soul. He gives us
each a portion of all those things He
has committed to the church as a whole.
He makes ns fruitful by His Wordand
His Spirit. He gives us every means of
grace by which to cultivate the vine
yard. He gives us defenses. He is our
watch-tower. He gives grace for every
time of need. He furnishes the armor
against temptation. The body is a vine
yard that is intrusted to our care, to be
well treated as an instrument for doing
God’s work. A good workliian al ways
takes good care of his tools. The mind
is still more wonderful, and should be
educated, trained, kept pure and bright,
that it may bring forth fruit for the
Master. The soul, the very self—the
citadel, the dwelling place of the moral
nature, the fountain of character^-is
a vineyard that should be kept with all
diligence, “for out of it are the issues
of life.”
The fruits are gratitude, love, obe
dience, worship, consecration of time,
talents and property toward God; and
all the fruits of the Spirit toward men;
intelligence, generosity, character,
growth. Note that, as the cultivator
of the vineyard was to enjoy the fruits
it bore, and the more fruitful it was,
the more industriously he cultivated it
for the owner, the more abundant and
delightful was his own reward; so it
is with those to whom God has intrust
ed His spiritual vineyard; every fruit
God requires is best for themselves.
Sending for the Fruits.—Every spe
cial call to love and serve God, every
service at the church, every opportuni
ty to do good, every providence of God,
every season of revival, the voice of the
Holy Spirit, the Sabbath, the Bible,
conscience—all are servants whom God
sends to ns for the frnits that are dne
Him.
The Fruits Refused.—The behavior
of these husbandmen is only a picture
of the way impenitent men still treat
God’s messengers of mercy—the Holy
Spirit, the Bible, the influences of re
ligion. What greater meanness in the
universe than our rejection of God’s
messengers while v.-c arc actually en
joying the vineyard He gave us?
The unspeakable love of God to US is
shown in the sending of His Son (John
3:16). He is the wisdom and power of
God for salvation. God has done aU
that infinite love can do to save us. He
comes often to our souls with special
influences to lead us to accept Him.
Eveiyone at some time comes to the
valley of decision.
If we reject Christ for this world we
are lost for this world. Those who re
ject Christ from their lives and plans,
in order that they may keep possession
of themselves, their pleasures and
hopes, have taken the shortest and
surest wav to lose them. The righteous
shall inherit the earth. If we refuse
the source of righteousness we reject
our earthly inheritance. How much
more is this true of the future! Those
who reject Christ cannot be saved.
They refuse eternal life; they reject,
the very principles which make Heaven
what it is. They repel the strongest
influence that can lead them to a holy
life. They throw away their last hope.
Though mills of God grind slowly, yet they
grind exceeding small;
Though with patience He stands waiting, with
exactness grinds He all.
Nervous People
And those who are all tire 1 out and
have that tired feeling or sick headache
can be relieved of all these symptoti s
by taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which
gives neyve, mental and bodily.strength
and thoroughly purifies the blood. It al
so creates a good appetite, cures indigfs
tion, heartburn and dyspepsia.
Hood’s Pills are easy to take, eisy in
action and sure in effect. 25c

Complete Recovery by the Use of

“Some years ago, as a result of too
close attention to business, my health
failed. I became weak, nervous, was
unable to look after my interests, and
manifested all the symptoms of a de
cline. I took three bottles of Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla, began to improve at once,
and gradually increased my weight from
one hundred and twenty-five to two
hundred pounds. Since then, I and my
family have used this medicine when
needed, and we are all in the best of
health, a fact which we attribute to
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I believe my eliil
