But we have ---?eighty-eight names on our roll, which it a pretty fair showing. Nor is this a mere'lis. of asrses, unrevised and unreliable.

No, it is a failure <;u the part of many of our members to attend regularly tua?. gives us these vacant seats. I know this to be true, indeed. I have looked out for you. I have missed you. You say tbe explanation is in the fact ^ that our church is not centrally located. I kao? thrit, and am willing to discount ray estimate somewhat on that account. It is, I know, not as convenient for noaae of you to come as it woald be if the ci'urch were nearer. But isuo: thU the more periinent fact here, that you have allowed the inconve?iieace uf o-raisg to g?t you into a staj-at-home h4'?i> ? 1 icar tudt ic is.

Jiu- s? here. So I unve thought it my duty, as your pastor, to prtacti you a sermon , bringing hr-rae to you tee dere!icti.:n vou are yuiltv of. and showing von tne - God-given reasons for the duty of church attendence. But I b&otea to say that these remarks are not intended, io their primary application at icast, for a goodly number of those preseut. I have no; found anywheis better examples of constant attendance ou the services of the sanctuary. I nc-ed not name those who are always in their places. You fcave tbe:n before your eyes You ksow who they are. While on the other band your past ,tor could mentioned those who are but 1 - visitors here where they ought to be & __ Jbcme. sometimes they are here if all suits, or the fancy is on them.

So that it happened, I am most credible informed, several years ago that % brother respect ed and loved by you all preached at this church, and his audience was not as large as the company that assembled that very day at a neighbor's house. Yes, I com* to you. as your pastor, with a message oi acrious import to-day. ^ I call you to most earnest, prayerful study of the"demand of God, and your duty in this matter. I sound my text io your ear3 n9 the Jvord of the Lord. It must be that you nave lost sight of this serious aspect of the case. You surely have not felt the authority of a divine command behind you here. Ocherwi3e good men aad women could not be so negligent. Let us notice some of the reasons that may be given for this "assembly of ourselves together." ^^7*'The first, in "our "dT3fex^oa, and in important, is the fact that <3ocT ~5as commanded it, as we have seen. This, indeed, should be the end of all controversy with us. A "thussaith the Lord'' should settle it. "Give me the book, chapter and Terse: my pastor, and that is enough for me." That should be your word. A minister was once traveling on the cars, and >at immediately in front of the brilliant Gen. Robert / Toombs, who was engaged in an earnest discussion with .a fellow-traveller. He ^ ' noticed that the proposition for which the General contended antagonized the plain teaching of the Scriptures. Finally deciding to enter the debate, he tiirno^ oKmr\h 1 tr *1 nnn n r\A Mv*u|/wj uj^\/u uiaovau auu oaiu "General Toombs, do you know that your position is opposed to "the Word of God?'' The General was greatly surprised, but ' ' answered pleasantly: '"Good evening, Profeseor S. I had no idea I was in earshot of a preacher! Will you be kind enough to give me your Scripture?" The pasaaga was quoted, ana clearly contradicted bis argument. He at once arose?the man who had swayed Senates and stirred the thought of a nation? lifted his hat, and with that courtly manner for which he was noted, said: 4iI bow, sir, to the Word of God." So, brethren, let us bow to its majestic authority. But this command of God is act aroiirary. j.xone 01 ms commanaments is so. They are grounded in reason. They rest upon sufficient foundatioa. This command rests upon man's social constitution. We see.this social tendency in the humble orders of animal life. We see it as we catch a 7iew of the cattle upon the hills; or as we "consider the ants" plying busily at our feet.This social disposition is quite manifest in man. We find it in the size ci great cities; in the neighborhood gatherings; and most toucbiagly in the longings after home common to us all. But the wisdom Of this world has taufrht us the Dower of united effort G? f - - - - " ? -x What mean these "Farmers' Alliances" all over the land? Do they not mean 1: that the husbandmtn are at last realizing that they can accomplish as a body what they could never do ae individuals? Putting their littles together, uniting thought aDd effort, mas?mg their capital they become mighty when before tbey were utterly powerless. So here. A great work is to be done. The world is to be concerted. The isolated individual here and thfre cannot accomplish it. It needs a union o?a!l effort, an aggregation of all means to bring it about. Like the million drops that make the shower, or the hundred rivulets that make th? majestic river. Or, to change the figure, the church is a grand army moving on to the conquest of tbe world. Gallantly our Captain leads the way: but victory must come to the unbroken column that fol1 rv rm c tt* }>?ro k a 1 c*aA a A f wUaV ?? -? J- *.l ? IV II U TV JUV4 V uV> 1^UU0. VI n ilftt (JSU II4 lUt? camp follower far in the rear? Of what . punishment shall he be found worthy who ikvlks in hit tent! Again we wllfc notice ana answer 6oms excuses men make for not attending the stated services of the sanctuary: t. One says, "I am so tired when Sunday comes, I am obliged to stay at home and rest." But is that, in the first place a sincere plea? Is it not rather a mere pretence?,"When absent from church are- vou really at boace reetiDg} ?.re you not out visiting your relatives or friends. soffi?tia:e3 fanner off than the bouse of Gndt Or, if }.t borne, are vou not vralk- \ ing over tb? c"op. or planning toe work j of tbc coming wee*. vr even arranging ! f.? r!t?* ctr'.rf I CvCijl-Jii.g J"; ^ ' 'j ?. j . tsiorbi'ig?

Far you h>ivc cot caught tbe ia?:i of rcsc ii its highest and truest sense. You have not learned what the Sabbath-rest wa3 in tended in the Divine Providence to be.

Indeed it 16 oia*- cllU3 tbai we caa saved from eDDr'' t^c French cull it. It menus, practically, that we are tired of rest. Yes, actual!*, we otten Sud inactivity t&e most tiresome tbinj; in the world, i'be coruiai state of man is action, action. True rest is but -the reiiuf that comes fmm ? change of activity. Tbe Sabbath was uiveu us that into new aud belter chancels the thought and action ol the soul should be turaed. That for a day the business of eteruiiy ehould take the place of the business of time. That we should turn from the thought of the trials and cares of earth to the beckoning gioriss of the better laud. Brother, you are not refreshed by your Sunday's rest because it was n?>t rest. If you had just let go eTerythiog Saturday night you would have goutback to your work Monday morning with new zest and epriug. But you keep harping on the old string. You sta:d at home, and your miud was filled witn plana for the cext day. So Mouday fouctd you unfreshed. Brother, the SabDath is made for ui&u, as well as for God; for time a3 well as for eternity. Try its pre cious rest. Turn from thuuguia oi earth lo thoughts/*/ heaven. It will pay here and hereafter. 2. But you tell me, "Even admitting thai, i ojed not go to,church. 1 eau do just as weii at hum?. I can meet with Gad. I can rective a oiessiDg at home as well as at church." Bat gr&nt'ug wLa claim, that you uiigbt do ad weil let tue ask, do you? You tell me tb*t you caa rea-i a much better sermon thaa y^u could hear at churcb; that you have weekly oue of Dr. Talmu^e's sermon id your liSuu:;y S^utb," or Coasiituuor.." But let me ask, do toj really read the sermon ? But granting that you do; does tbe printed column speak to you like the living voice of your pjscor? Certainly tueserinou iu itseli ii?ay tie better, but .4 - * ctinta 2 U C3 it ua?t LUV/ iTUi^i'u N.^L^V^ i do you cjupie th:s readug witii prayer? Ic was tuy great privu ge for three years, the last of nis life, to oe the pastor of that saintly uiau, Rtv. Divid Derrick of tbe South Carolina Conlercnce. Often he unable to fill Lis place. But it was his custom wbeo thus kept away to spend the hours of service in Bible r&?idiug and prayer. Brother do jou fill the service hour with devotions? Do you join prayer to your sertnoa reading? Aud do you no: miss this in your substitute for attendance upon the Word? No, nothing can take the place of the preacher's liviog voice, tbe inspiration of tbe holy song, the united prayer, aud ail the sacred iiiflueeces of the house of u c. 3. Yet you plead, "Well, it :s not convenient for me to to church." But, brother, sister, duty does not wait upon convenience. Many ted many a time sacrifices must be made. Indeed the Christian life is but one great sacrifice, A thousand thing are not convenient, however desirable, but we must pay the price. Others do it; so may you. 4. "Yes," you say, "but it is wel!-nigb impossible for all of us to go." Then, beloved, take it by regular turns. Parents, le: the children have their time. Children, give the old folks a chance. But to conclude: 1. Brother, I mis3 yo* when your seat is vacant. I need jour presence, your sympathy, your prayers. It is much easier to preach to you in your place than to your vacant seat, iaea X am oeating tne air, aca the spirit feels the sad lack of your helpful presence. 2. Slater, you are losing ground, as you stay away from/tfcrS'house of God. Certainly, if provijjfeatialiy kept it is different. YourJijfart is here with us. But if this bg'jour choice, there is t-fefe^'matter, and quickly you , will find yourself slipping, drifting far from God. 3.1 exhort you, dear brethren obey God; inherit the promises He gives us; use this precious means of grace; put yourselves in the way of receiving the blessing He is waiting to bestow 1 We see it m the reciprocal influences we exert over each other. One of toe subtlest-, and yet one of the most reai things, in life is this influence noted in man's snfiol nature Rv 5r men ?rp fion scantly led upward or downward. By it men are saved or ruined. How many testimonies confirm this. "I was led \o Christ by the example and influence of a dear friend." "I was brcught to this night of sin and despair through ungodly associations." Yes, God, man's maker, knowing the possibilities, knowing his need3, organizes the church upon a social basis. And the faithful of the ages have ever justified the Divine wisdom here. We have felt the elbow touch of sympathy. Heart bus answered to heart, and hand has joined with hand to make us strong. Deep has called to deep in our enjoyment of the communion of saints. It has become a very type of heaveo. 2. The second reason for this "assembling" is the Divine promise. Certainly God has promised to meet with tbe individual soul, fie has said, "Enter into thy closet, and * * * pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." But there are these additional and especial promises to those who meet together: "Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." 2. There is also, a third reason here, the example 01 our Lord, bays one: * * * "And straightway on the Sabbath day Jesus entered into tbe synagogue." Luke on a similar occasion says Jesus weat to thi; synagogue 'as H'.s custom -was." Tni3 custom of Jesus has more than a mere suggestion, or advice, for us. It may well have tbe force of a law. What was to him a privilege may be well considered our duty. This is the more significant when we remember that ia those days there was much of form and mechanical routine in the syncprvirps Thprp teas rrsnf*h that. was unsatisfactory and even repulsive to the mind aua heart of Jeous, yet his custom was to attend the synagogue. He did not forsake the assemblies of Isreal on the Sabbath days." 4 We havo, besides, the example of the little band of one hundred and twenty disciples in their ten days' prayermeeting preceding Pentecost It was a crucial period with them, a tim-* of great need, a time of expectancy. They uiight have scattered themselves *'o their home* or the homes of their friends/acd fiinal? Dlead with God. But no. The j urgent need, the one desire, the fellowIship of losing hearts brought them together. They Deeded each other. They helped each other. Io some mysterious ; way faith touching faith went out in a j grander sweep. The answer came. The Holy Ghost descended. Tne church j was annointed for the great work. I 5. As well might be adduced the constant practice pf the early church. 4.cting jiccioubtedly under Divine guidance. the-first Christians met oo the Ljrds day every where. And the history of the church's progress is larflr^J* record ot those once-a-week gastrin??. lacked, nothing takes ts p'aci- mors naturally as a part of tb.? settled order cf the church than arseajbiie* for worship. 0. But a re""11 liiac ldllst m-i Uoverlooked *jr '-^se assemblies?a .?? :; evident ?is the instruction it) Divi-'j sruth which is their necessary I p..? 'ui;?iiniaient. Here is God's appointed fCiioo't for the inculcation of the tru h. Here :he ministry?a Divine order- i-j :>> pour out for the Deaefit of the wh-.le church that treasure of knowledge :t h-!= been enable to acquire.

B:ji it cscs stand to rt-ason that rh:i? one should ?e best qualified to teach here?or. indeed, in any department?who has "drawu all bis studies that vay." 7. It follows from what we have al ready ecao that tbe<e asscmniirs are a means of grace. A mean^ is a e'lianne! or vehicle for the c?,ove\a:n;e to us :>f good or evil. A tn>ae3 grace is a channel along which spiri nal good fl >*s into our souls. The instructions we receive in Divine truth at church is t-uch a means of grace.

A one-armed printer is aslmuch 01 a curiosity as the armless man who dexterously handles a knife and fork with his toe There came o Cincinnati two days ago sucti a wonder, and he is nowworking as a '*sub" in the Enquirer office. His name is Harry Penrod-, he is 27 years old, and hails from Washington, where he learned the trade on the Republican. Penrod, six years ago, went on a trip out West, and while gone lost his arm in a railroad accident. Oaly a short stump, extending but a few inches from the shoulder, remains. Nothing disheartened by a misfortune that wouM have rendered most men helpless, Penrod set to work to manage the intricacies of his craft with one hand, and he sue* ceeded so well that he now sets as big a "string" as the best printer, and he justifies his own matter and does it well. In "setting" type, Penrod places the "stick" on the case in front of him, and then nimbly shoots the type into place, working very rapidly and with a1* apparent ease as a man with fxrA PnnrArl V?ao TrrArlr^/1 a a o U?T V UUUViOi X VUXX'U, UiM fT V10.VU OO < "sub" 011 all the great newspapers of the country, and makes a competent livelihood.

We are in a lively climate, which does not encourage us to wear the beautiful, sensible sandals of trie Greeks and Hebrews. It was the advice of an unforgottan young soldier to our marching volunteers of the civil war, 'Trust in God, but keep your shoes easy.1 We must not have errors in our premises; a corn is a fatal error to a walker. Therefore take to square, low heels, wide soles, and ample too room. "Wear loose, short, warm clothes, if the weather be cold, but heavy ones never. "Light flannel is capital, all the year around. Caps aro better than hats, by land a? by sea, for tho rrind can not catch at them. One's stockings are apt to bunch and feel uncomfortable on a long1 tramp. But if, before starting, yoa soak your feet, fore and aft, to that they are cased in lather, they will keep cool and easy under you from morning till night.

He was wounded twice?once in the left hip and onoe the nenk. The latter wound he supposed, was inflicted by a spent ball. The surgeons, however, failed to discover any trace of a ball and said the man was mistaken. He was awarded a pension of $4 per month for the wound in the hip, but notihng for the one in the neck. He always felt a pain in his neck, and eventually lost all power of speech and became a physical wreck. In 1883 Dr. N. C. Scudder examined the man and gave it as his opiniou that a or some such substance was lodged at the root of the larynx. Mr. Finn died in 1885.

A Dress [Made of Rattlesnake*. From tlie Tampa (Fla.) News. We promised a description of the "i-attlesnake dress" in yesterday's paper for to-day. Lira. Donaldson, who is making the dress, is really an artist in her line of business, such as you seldom fi*d in a place of this size. The dress is Eigelshade, a rich shade of brown, fine and beautiful in textnr?. It is a tailor-made gown, strictly on the severe Eaglish style; ft perfectlyplain skirt, with a panel about seven inches wide of the tanned skin of the rattlesnake. The skin is a beautiful specimen of its kind. A. polonaise, also severely plain, closed at the side with straps of snake skin and buckles. A vest, V-shape, ?f the skin, and collar and cnffs of the same. With it will be worn a helmet shaped hat, trimmed with material to match the dress, but the visor will be covered with snakeskin. The shoes, the uppers made of material the same as the dress and tipped with snakeskin, complete this unique costume. It will be wonderfully pretty and effective, and an object oi envy to some oi our fair dames who delight in original and charming costumes. The lady for whom the css;ume is made is from Ocala, and came a Tampa especially to secure Mrs. Donaldson's work for her dress-makng - A Xe\vnpai>or Man Catches It.
