Extracts from tie Christian Neiilor. A?t Coals are to Ituriiluu' <'onl*. and Wood to fire: no Is u Contt'iilioiiv; Man to HIikIIo Strife?Prov. xxvl. ' 30. According to the Itrrnhtff Sfrtr's re- j port of a recent talk by Admiral IW- , ler, ho (the admiral) indulges in som? , boastful words about a possible war j with Germany which words, in tliei present state of a Hairs at Samoa and i the approaching Conference at Berlin,!, are untimely and unwise. It is time;, enough to talk about war after diplo- , macy and arbitration have failed, and : time enough to sketch plans of fight- j ing later on. We cannot afford to appropriate! space to the article as copied in the!, Columbia Register, but will extract a, few sentences which may indicate the drift of the Admiral's talk. He says: l( No one supposes that the American I people would give up the contest until j Germany had received a sound urun-1 bing. We have surplus and revenues enough, with taxes now at a minimum point, to carry on desultory war until we are in fighting trim. While we are getting ready we can prohibit the ent ry of German manufactures into the United States. "If, for the time being, Germany should try to blockade our ports, in Jess than sixty days we would find an English fleet on our coasts involved in protecting her own trade with the United States. England and France would be forced as a measure of industrial self-defense to protect their vessels and their trade with the United States. We have the money, and could easily spend $250,000,000 in ships and appliances of war. With $50,000,000 in sixty days 1 could put an improvised fleet in * motion wnieh would make short work of German commerce. There are (500 riot-man MtpnniPN aiioat. I know | where they are. We have fleet ships; I eould pick them out now. We could buy more. They would answer lor privateers. We are always prosperous in time of war. Such talk as this is "as coals to burning coals, and wood to tire"?kindling strife?fanning into flame a warlike feeling. Js it not unfortunate that Admiral Porter allowed himself to speak as he is reported to have spoken ? And is it not unfortunate that hiioh sentiments should find their way into any print unoccompanied by merited criticism ? "The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water; therefore leave off contention before it be meddled with." 4^4 The Apostle?The Cross?The World. Paul gloried in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, whereby the world was crucified unto him, and he unto the world. He gloried in the odium which the enemies of Christ associated with the cross, and this was his highest or sole glory, and was also the exclusive medium of communication with the world or the church. All other "wires" had been cut, mus crucifying the world unto hirn and him unto the world. He was "determined not to know or approve any tiling" in the churches that was not in agreement with "Christ and him crucified." He would not send any communication to the world or receive any from the world save through the cross of Christ. Thus was Paul enabled to do, to suffer and to glory through Christ who strengthened him. The explanation of the whole matter is that Paul was filled with the Spirit of Christ. Make Sure for Heaven. To secure an abode eterual in the heavenly kingdom it is necessary to l>e found of Christ in peace at his comiug; to be thus found of him it is necessary to die in peace ; to thus die it is necessary to live in peace; to thus Uveitis necessary to be converted; to !<ei converted it is necessary to manifest I tepenlance towards God and exercise - - - -i i -_.i i rauu 111 lue XjUIU Jf>lW vunoi. UV- I ing justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus | Christ." To maintain the peace thus; realized in conversion, so sis to end pro- j batiou life in peace, is tiie duty and privilege of the justified. "Wherefore, the rather, brethren give diligence to make your calling and elec-l lien sure. "Follow peace with alii men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." "Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, [the coming ot Christ and the awful phenomena incident to his' advent] be diligent, that ye may be j found of him in peace, without spot,! and blameless."

This petition respectfully' asks the President's consideration ol j propriety of retaining in office the) present Commissioner of Indian Al'-j lairs, Hon. John il. Oberly. similar petitions, signed by leading Kepuhiieans, haye been sent to the President from other cities. From the manifest endorsement of Mr. Oberly l?y the Indian JliglUs Association we think it would in- to the interest of the Federal government and to the welfare of the Indians for Mr. Oberly to be retained.

Considerable excitement prevails in Quebec over the sharp antagonism which has been awakened between the i Catholics and Protestants of that province. It is believed l>y intelligent observers of the situation that the relations between these two classes will not bear much further strain. In Ontario and Quebec the Roman Catholic is practically the State Church, and i>lher citizens have become restive unJer the usurpation. The Legislature jf Quebec recently enacted a bill known as the Jesuits' Estates bill, making provision for the payment of ?4no,(ioo to the Jesuits to reimburse hem for property confiscated by the British (Jovcrnment in 177,5.

Mothers, don't destroy your chil- 5 dren's faith in you by not keeping your promises to them, no matter how ' trilling they may seem. The simple childish faith they placed in you should be a reason, if there was no oth- j er, for keeping a promise once made. ' The child may doubt every one else, but will believe the mother. A child's faith is involuutary, born of weakness ' and conscious dependence, and his , mother is his law and gospel. But let ; a child once distrust the word of his mother, and he loses forever his simple childish faith.

' What Others Say. < Now Orleans Christian Advocate. 1 Is Tiikre Not a Mistake??I have long been noticing such remarks as the following in regard to the appointments of j.reachers : "That man deserves a better appointment;" "That man is coming down ;" "That work (especially if it is a good one) should have a better preacher." And if I can read the signs of the times correctly, there is a prevalent practice of judging of the quality and merits of a preacher by the quality of the work he is sent to serve. If he serves a third-rate appointment, he is a thirdrate preacher; and if he serves a firstrate appointment?well, the inference is plain. 1 know nothing of the working of the Bishops and their Cabinet, but I am inclined to think there is a slight mistake in thus invariably estimating preachers and their work. If the Bishop and his Cabinet see a weak work struggling for life, and they have at their command a good preacher?a man that would rank well?and by sending this man to said weak work, it could be built up, would it be anything more than just to send him "to it? Would it be a discounting of the preacher and his talent? Could it be considered a waste of talent? Would it justify the remark so often heard "That preacher is coming down!" Coming down, indeed ! Is there any coming down in going to save poor lost souls and build up our common cause? Yes; verily such a coming down as that exhibited by our blessed Savior, when he came to earth "and took upon himself the form of a servant," "to seek and to save that which was lost." Is not this idea of change of position, as well as place, included in our itinerant system? And, after all, the change of position in point of importance is more apparent than real. Any place where we can work for the Master is an exalted position. Was Paul underrated when commanded to turn from the Jews to the Gentiles? Was he coming down when called in to Macedonia, and there had to suffer? Was he losing rank when sailing a prisoner to Home? ******* In my way of thinking, a preacher never prove? more emphatically his unfitness for any appointment than when he thinks himself too good for any save first-rate ones. New-York Christian Advocate. To rejoice with them that do rejoicc is some times a brighter display of grace than to weep with those who weep.

They say he did not deserve it, or he will disgrace it, or meanly insinuate that he secured it by the use of unworthy means. But men of large hearts and genuine manhood will take unfeigned pleasure in the prosperity of others. The Southwestern Methodist, in a note concerning the question discussed in the Evangelical Alliance of Kansas City, "How shall we reach the masses," goes directly to the point by saying : "What we "most need is not new methods, but increased zeal and faith in working by the old methods." Christ reached the "masses;" and if we will do as he did, we will reach them too. lie reached them by hunting them up and doing them good, and when we cease discussing the question and go to work, as he has shown us, we will reach all the "masses," there are ! Vocal Music and Prevent ion of Con- ] sumption. ai a meeting 01 me jvieuicui ouciuty of Virginia, October 28, 1888, I)r. 0. E. liusey, of Lyuchburg, Va., read a paper on the cultivation of vocal music ' in schools as one of the means of preventing phthisis. He states it as a well-known fact that tiiose nations which are given to the cultivation of vocal music are strong vigorous races, with broad expansive clu-sts. I fan hour a day in public schools were devoted to the development of vocal music, there would not be tne sad spectacle of the drooping, withered, hollowchested, round-shonldered children which confronts us now. There is too great a tendency to sacrifice physical health upon the altar of learning. Vocal music is gymnastic exercise of the lungs, producing increased expansion of the lung tissue itself. The lungs ill improved breeds of cattle, which naturally take little exercise and are domiciled much of the time, ' are considerably reduced in size, when | com pored wiiu uiosc uuuim.s iuiuuh^ > at liberty ; and so it is with tlie huinau beings who lead inactive lives. Phthisis generally begins at the apices of the lungs:, because these parts are more inactive, ami because the bronchial i tubes arc so arranged that they carry the inspired air with greater facility lo the bases th:iu to the apices. During inactivity a person will ordinarUy breathe about 480 cubic inches of air per minute. If he will walk at the rate of six (sic) miles an hour, he will breathe 3,12G0 cubic inches. In singing this increases more than in walking, us singing well requires all of the capacity of the lungs. The instructor of vocal music, in addition to his musical education, should understand the auatumy and physiology of the respiratory organs.?

All is not lost when anything goes iontrary to you. A single grateful thought toward Heaven is prayer. Some people only understand enough >f a truth to reject it. To be good and disagreeable is high reason against virtue. What we ought not to do, we should :iot ever think of doing. F6w persons live to-day, but are preparing to do so to-morrow. The saddest thing under the sky is a joul incapable of of saduess. A merely fallen enemy may rise igain, but the reconciled one is truly vanquished. Comparison, m >re than reality, makes men happy, and can make them wretched. Pride, conceit, ambition are all utterly out of harmony with the spirit of true Christianity. How well it succeeds when we go faithfully and conscionably about our work, and leave the issue to God! 1 ? t r\ r\ n_ Some tliere are wnu pruiesa iu ut3pise all flattery; but even these are nevertheless to be flattered by being told that they do despise it. A more glorious victory can not. be gained over another man than this: that when the injury begins on his part the kindness should begin on [>u rs. ^Christ in us, that we may never despair when we are beset by difficulties; we iu Him, that when we have attained something we may reach forward to greater victories. Wit loses its respect with the good when seen in company with malice; and to smile at the jest which plants a thorn in another's breast, is to become a principal in the mischief. O, that thou wonldst be often feeding on the hidden manna, and tasting the delights of heaven ! how would this conlirm thy resolutions, and make thee despise the vanities of the world Our superfluities should be given up for the convenieuce of others ; our conveniences should give place to the necessities of others; and even our necessities give way to the extremities of the poor. It is a fearful thought that we, as it were, exhale ourselves every breath we draw. A man's moral being is concentrated in every second of his life; it lives in the tips of his fingers aud iu the spring of his insteps. A very little thing tries what a man is rnnde of. Power of character comes not from intellectual training or association with the greatest men of the race, but by conscious relations to God, by reflecting the glory shining from above, while we look not on the things which are seen and temporal, but on the things which are unseen and eternal. The true life is not thinking or dieaming, but doing. To wait for great opportunities, which may never come, is to miss the little within outreach. For as surely as the house is built brick upon brick, and stone upon stone, so t lie little deeds, the daily trifles, the apparently ordinary actions comprise in their aggregate human life and human achievement.
