' No people ever deserved a fuller notice of the dedication of their church than the Pres. byterlans, and no church dedication was ever as fully reported as is the dedication of their church. The account of the interesting occasion contains a great variety of matter, and few readers will fail to find something in it, which will be interesting. The paper, as a whole, is a historical document, and well worthy of preservation. If future generations take up the history of the church as furnished to-day, and continue [the record, It will be the best kept church re* cord in existence. We claim 110 special credit for anything we have done in the matter. We have only dis. charged our duty, as we conceived it, but we ' desire to return hearty thanks to all who in any way rendered aid in the work. Without aibistance and co-operation we could not have accomplished what we have . done. m * m D. D., M. D. We notice bp some of our exchanges that Rev. Dr. Darby and Rev. Dr. J. L. Girardeau f havejbegun prescribing cures for the sick. Heretofore we believe they have been labori Ing solely for the cure of souls, but it now seems that they are about to enlarge their ! business by taking a supervisory care of the > bodies of those whose physical condition may not be in a satisfactory condition.

The Lord's Prayer. A f 4-V.rx ATn/1.. Vam7< A uuiicsjjuiiuciit ttsivs LUC xyccu JLVI A/ ldvocate this question : "Why do not Methodists use "forgive s our debts," instead of "forgive us ur trespasses," when debts is in the tible and trespasses is not?" The substance of the answer is this: "The Methodists derived their usage om the Church of England, and that jrm was in use before the King James Version was translated. Furthermore, here are two forms in the New Testament?one in Matthew, and one in juke. Mattbew says "debts," and juke says "sins," which shows that 10 particular importance is to be atached to the word, provided the meaninr is retained. Bv referring to Mat hew you will find that immediately fter the Lord's Prayer Christ says 3th chapter, 14th verse): "For if ye :>rgive men their trespasses, your eavenly Father will also forgive you howiug that in the opinion of the ery men who translated the word debts" in the prayer, the meaning is trespasses." The first ten words gives the anwer. The Methodists have been so aught?taught to follow the Church ol Dngland in preference to the Bible. After giving the answer, the Advoate argues that "trespasses" is preferble to "debts." The explanatory arumentation falls short, we think, oi astifying the position taken. If "no particular importance is to be ttached to the word, provided the aeaning is retained," why reject both debts" and "sins" as found in the ne and the other of the two forms in he Bible, and contend for the form aorl Kxr f)?Ck PVltlw/tK O cvu mj vuu vuiiivii uugiauu i If the people understand the meanag of "trespasses" better than they nderstand the meaning of "debts," tvhich is doubted,) why not use the rord "sins" which, to adults and cliilren, is more explicit and clear than ither of the other two words. The point is not the Meaning of a rord in the Lord's prayer and one blowing the prayer, but the form ol rords composing that prayer. The >rm in Matthew is the one supposed 3 be generally followed, but the jllowing often varies from the Bible jrm in other words besides substitute ag "trespassees" for "debts." When the Bible form is once broken be way is opened for any church or worshipper to change the form as jdgment or fancy may suggest; and iius tne iorm would oe practically jst in the many mutilations. The nly way to have uniformity in using he Lord's prayer is for all people to se the form exactly as it is found in lie gospel by Matthew. ' 'Hold fast the )rm of sound words." From North Carolina.

Last Sunday, November 25, Rev. J. V. Wolling, missionary to Brazil and icmber of our South Carolina Con;rence, preached at Marion Street Church in this city. The theme was eath for life?He saved others, him>lf lie cannot save. Making an ungual but legitimate application of the ixt, the speaker pressed to the hearts f his hearers the necessity of giving lemselves for the salvation of others -that we must let all things die in us mit we may save others, that we must ield ourselves a willing sacrifice for ie good of our brethren who are in ire need of help. The sermon was lear and forcible >n style, pointed in pplicatiou, and urgent in entreaty. At 3.3U p. m. a large audience as;mbled at the same place to listen to talk on Brazil, the physical features f tlfe country, and some of the habs and customs of the people. At ight Mr. Wolling preached at Wasliigion Street Church. Treat every girl as you would like jery boy to treat your sister. Learn ) be gentle towafds others and to give rotection to those weaker than yourilf. If every bo^ treated his girl iends as he would like other boys to eat his sister there would be a better ate of society when they are all rown up. R. T.

Following are some practical snggai- [ tions on the initial steps in training young horses, by Rural Canadian, that embodt the true theory, as all horsemen will admit. It is, however, an unfortunate fact that not one man in ten carries out this practice. So well does it work that, in an incredibly short time, the colt bt comes so gentle and teachable, the Impatient trainer considers him sufficiently broken, and hastens to harness and work the animal, when, in point of fact, he has only arrived at the a, b, c of his education. The result of such undue haste 1a obvious; the colt is never really broken. That it pays m the long run to follow the advice here given the writer firmly believes: Begin the education of a oolt' by bridle handling, first on one side and then on i the other. Put him about indifferent 1 directions, forward, backward, to the left ' and right, and get him to yield to the bit in each cf these directions. This should i be done both in the stable and yard, and in using the reins for this purpose the i trainer should exercise a steady, firm pressure on the bit until the colt yields, , when the pressure should be removed at onoe, in order for him to understand that [ he has obeyed. ? When the colt's head can be handled in every conceivable direction, and tha muscles of his neck are supple and controlled, then handle the forward feet, then the body, and finish with the hind feet and tail. When handling the colt'a t feet teach him not only to allow you to pick them up and rub and rap on them with a hammer, but to hold them up until ! you get ready to let them go. Take tha > tall in your hand carefully, and raise it well up over his back, repeating this until he makes no objection. Take a pole about ! the size of a sled stake, pole him all over his body, and pry in between his legs until h^ shows no fear of it. Teach him to stand and allow a harness to be tossed on to and all about him. Handle umbrellas, robes, paper, etc., about his head and body until he Is utterly indifferent to them all. Lead and back htm into and over an old pair of shafts repeatedly, and when ha is standing in them raise them up anAirdb . his legs with them, and finally bring tKa crossbar against his haunches, gently at first and then more forcibly, until he carea nothing for It. All those things should > be dene to the colt before he is harnessed , at ell. 1 A colt should be put through a series of reining lessons before he is nitched to a ! vehicle. While reining him the whip [ ought to be used, not only to get motion , to handle on, but with a view to educating him to increase his speed when it la applied and getting him under control of it, for no horse is safe to drive unless ha will "go to the front" when tapped with the whip. In striking a horse with a whip, always ' do so forward of the loins. During his , reining lessons the colt should be taught to stand still at the simple word "whoa." He should also be taught to back.
