Hauningtou's Saints.
"Sir; if we don't mind, we shall die
of dignity!" said Dr. Chalmers to one
who was maintaining that clergymen
should "stand npou their dignity."
When James Hannington became
the clergyman of Hurstpierpoint, he
determined to win the men, women
and children, of the village to a Christian
life. Tf he could do it, and "stand
upon his dignity," very well; if not,
he would appear as undignified as the
occasion demanded.
One day he was walking in the village
street with a very dignified
ecclesiastic, and wlfo was attired in a
clerical dress, which Mr. Hanuingtou
seldom wore. Suddenly he felt a tug
at the skirt of his coat. He stopped
and looked around, and saw a blusing
little girl.
"Please, sir," said she, timidly, for
sne was anaiu ui me uigiuuitjr,
' haven't you got a bull's-eye for me?"
It was his habit to walk the streets
in an old faded doatiug-coat.'the pockets
of which were filled with goodies
for the children he might meet. He
would stop a child, give to it a brief
lesson 011 "sneaking," telling lies and
using bad language, and then dismiss
the child with a cake or a bull's-eye.
The next time the minister and the
child met, Hannington would ask,
"Now, then, what were the three
things you were not to do, eh?" If the
answers were correct, the rewarding
candy ,vas never wanting.
The wild boys were hunted for and
caught. The faithful minister would
find out what interested a bad boy
and then show himself to the boy as
interested in that pursuit. If a boy
had a liking for curiosities or natural
history, he was invited to the rectory
and allowed to examine the parson's
cabinets.
One boy fancied himself a young
Mozart. Hanniugton offered him the
use of his own harmonium.
"But when shall I begin, sir?" asked
the boy.
"Oh, well," answered Hannington,
looking at him with a quizzical smile,
"I shall be out on Tuesday."
TUe lads loved mm; tne workmen
called him among themselves
"Jemmy." But to no one in the
country did they raise their caps more
respectfully than to their "own
Jemmy."
He gathered lads and young men together
into a Bible-class and temper
aDce association. The members were
nicknamed "Hannington's saints,"
but they greeted the scoff as a compliment.
He was fond of riding, and would
gallop for miles over the downs, or
ride straight across the country, clearing
ovcrirtVifnor in hia ronv "Rnt. rvnp
daj', needing money for some benevolent
purpose, he sold his horse, knocked
the stable and coach-house into one,
papered, carpeted, and hung lamps in
the large room, and turned it into a
mission hall.
A boy was seized by the emall-pox.
His people were forsaken by their
neighbors. The parson visited the
cottage, supplied the iumates with the
necessaries of life, and prayed with
the boy. The people of the village
14
were exeueu.
An officer called to warn the pastor
not to go near the place. As the man
went out of one door, the parson went
out of the other and called at the in\
, fected house.
He would take a lad for his servant,
transform him by his own example
and instruction, and then pass him ou
to something better. He had in this
way a good many servants, all of
whom turned out well.
It was the possession of these sterling
qualities that fitted him to be the
missionary bishop ot Central Africa?
to which continent he carried the same
zeal he had shown as a young rector,
and his body now fills a martyr's
grave.
A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer ,
states that he kept a plum tree from
curculious by sprinkling the ground
under the tree with corn meal. This
induced the chickens to scratch and
search. The meal was strewn every
morning from the time the trees blossomed
until the fruit was large enough
to be out of danger. The consequence
was that the fowls picked up the curculious
with the meal, and the tree being
saved from the presence of the insects
was wonderfully fruitful.
Several European specialists have
made the curious observation that
acute rheumatism is more prevalent in
dry than in rainy weather.
The way wherein it pleases God to
answer our prayer, if we have a right
mind, will always please^s well.

Most of the shadows that cross our
path through life are crossed by standing

Erils of Promiscuous Kissing of Children.
There is a common practice in vogue
?established in America more than in
any other country and deserving of
the severest criticism?which is at
once a great impertinence and thoroughly
reprehensible from a hygienic
stand-point. When any person of
cither sex or of any condition chances
- ~n Ai.n,i )-r\r fun.

uing about, lie (or she, generally she)
considers it his privilege to kiss that
child if he happens to be pleased with
its appearance. Even when not particularly
pleased, from motives of
courtesy, he feels well-nigh obliged to
caress "the dear little things," because
such attention has come to be considered
a sort of duty which grown persons
owe to the rising generation.
Entire strangers seem to think it imperative.
Imagine how the children
must suffer! "Who can estimate the
possible harm arising from running
the gauntlet of Tom, Dick, and Harry,
or Jane, Sarah, and Mary, and Mesdames
Brown, Jones and Robinson?
Ailments, slight in the adult, may be
transmitted in this way and become a i
source of much mischief among little
people. Dr. A. Jacobi recently called
UlieilllUlL IV bUULL UttLi^eia 1U vuiilicution
with the diphtheritic and contagious
form of follicular amygdalitis.
"This mild variety," he remarks, "is
that from which adults are apt to
suffer. With this variety, parents,
while suffering from a slight sorethroat,
kiss their children. To break
up a habit at once so cruel and so
wanting in good taste as the promiscuous
kissing of children requires ironclad
conduct and strength of purpose
to bear with equanimity the displeasures
of others. Let it be thoroughly
understood by relatives and friends
that young children are not to be kissed
by them without special invitation
by their parents. This will doubtless
give offense, for many care more about
their own personal pleasure than the
present and future of the children in
whom they take a passing interest.
A mother who exacts right conditions
of living for her child is bound to give
offense, especially here in America,
where the science of childhood is only
just beginning to be understood. Let
her bear it as best she may, consoling
herself with the thought that an offended
friend or relative is of infinitely
less importance than the loss of
a child or a child's health. It requires
great force of character to bring up a
family in the ways of health and
beauty. As Mr. Lincoln said about
being President, "If any one thinks it
is easy just let him try it."
[New York Medical Journal.
How to Make Children I.ovely.
There is just one way, and that is to
surround them by day and night with
an atmosphere of love. Restraint and 1
reproof may be mingled with the love,
but love must be a constant element. ;
"If found my little girl was growing ^
unamible and plain," said a mother to '
to us the other day, "and reflecting on
it sadly, I could only, accuse myself as !
the cause thereof. So I changed my 1
management and improve every opportunity
to prise and encourage her
to assure her of my unbounded affect
tion for her, and my earnest desire
that she should grow up to lovely and
harmonious womanhood. As a rose
opens to the sunshine, so the childheart
opened in warmth of the constant
affection and caresses I showered 1
upon her; her peevishness passed away, 1
her face grew beautiful, and now one 1
look from me berings her to my side I
obedient to my will, andhappiest when
she is nearest me."
Is there not in this a lesson for al (
parents ? Not all the plowing or weed (

One Woman Elected.?It will be <
uoucea tnai at least one my eieuiuiaj
conference has elected a woman to represent
it in General Conference, and
at least two have elected women as reserve
lay delegates. It has been declared
by the General Conference that
in all matters relating to delegates alj
are laymen who do not belong to annual
conferences. This ruling, on its
face, includes bishops among laymen.
If it is argued that the ruling includes
women, bishops may sit.os lay delegates.
The issue does not relate to anybody's
preference or predispositions, but is to
be determined by lay existing or to be
made. The General Conference will
probably appoint a committee to digest
and prepare specific action on tlio r
subject. Meantime, all can possess i
their souls in patience. Worse things ]
can happen than sitting by the side of j
Christian women In church councils, j
If admitted, we hope it will be through j
open, manly, unquestionable law, and f
not through hasty, doubtful construc- i

The Evil and The Remedy.?The j
late Henry Ward Beecher said he
would as soon have a load of hay dump- 5
ed into his parlor on Sunday as to have
the contents of a secular newspaper
dumped into his mind before going to ,
church; and Joseph Cook very properly
argues that Sunday newspapers lead ]
on other violators of the Sabbath-day, ?
venders of liquor included. They require
Sunday work; they propagate
low tastes and often evil opinions;
they secularize the Sabbath, the right
use of which for rest and worship ig f
essential to the sanity of civilization. '
They obstruct the moral and religious
eduation of the people, and have no <
g6od reason for existence. They ought <
to be starved out. Their tendency is <
evil, only evil, and that continually. ]
Their propietors will never voluntarily
cease to issue them unless the public ]
withholds its patronage. Their founda- i
tion is in the money they earn. No ,
profit, no paper. So long as there is <
money in them morals will not be
considered. When men reach this
point in business greed society should (
call their attention to its demands in
the most practical way.
Some persons fancy that there is an *
irreconcilable opposition between con- 1
servatism aud advancement. Two ex- (
tremes are possible; ultra-conservatism, (
which adheres to whatever is or has
been, regradless of the changes that ?
take place in society, and steadily op- 1
poses all modification to meet new con- <
ditions; fanatical radicalism, which 1
hates whatever is or has been, and
breaks down and destroys either with- j
out having any thing to substitute, or \
without being at the pains to inquire
bow the substitute may be established ;
between these is true conservatism that
does not value a thing for its age, but
for what it is; that recognizes the fundamental
principles of existing institutions,
and engrafts upon it whatever
may be necessary to adapt the whole
fabric more perfectly to a changed environment.

A prevalent misconcepthn is the
idea that in order to truly serve Whilst
we must find some great thing to do.
Great things are certainly not excluded
from Christ's service. But they are
accepted by Him not because they are
great, but because they are done to ?
Him. Their value consists in their c
being thought of and taken up and 1
done as for Him. Herein is one great Jcondition
and testof service?that it be c
consciously and willingly done to *
Him. Where this exists there will be c
no questioning as to greatness or littleness,
highness or lowness; enough j
that it be done to Him ! -1
