It has been said more than once that while the Methodist Church has the best form of govermeut in the world for accomplishing the ends of the gospel, it has thisint'elicito, viz : It stimulates personal ambition in seeking the honors of position. Connectioualism, with its offices and their emoluments, affords a perpetual temptation and stimulant to that disposition among the disciple which our .Savior rebuked by washing the feet of the apostles, as well as by other methods on different OCCaSlOns. It wan mo iiuuic vu.i|/uo. tion to covet the highest places of authority, stimulated and supported by the opportunities of a strong connectionalism, that made the Pope of Rome, while on the other hand the strong hond of connectionalism lias kept tlmt church from going to pieces, notwithstanding its own absurdities and the fiercest opposition. But it would have been letter for the world and the cause of true Christianity had that system been broken into Congregationalism than thac its connectionalism should have preserved so much corruption in doctrine and life. Thot^tneh is strongest for good, wlietv-pei-verted, -EToTflrui tfu 1 source ot The ambitious spirit which caused the original twelve to quarrel among themselves about the honors of the kingdom did net dieut that memorable foot-washing in Jerusalem. It is still alive in the land. Ever and anon it bobs lip. At the late General Con-i* * * nnlir lereiiW 11 was uui uuw vuij > <? some delegate complained that his speech.or name was omitted from the daily Advocate. Another question which bobbed up thore frequently was who was due the greatest honor for saving the Publishing House. And now there is a dispute about the honor of having originated Vanderbuilt University. These little incidents are only mentioned as indications that when Lucifer was cast out of heaven the love of honor was not completely destroyed out of the universe. Here is one of the dangers to which a church with a strong connectional system like ours is exposed. The desire for the honors and emoluments, and the system which atl'ords them, are reactionory one upon the other. The system offers the opportuni.ies and advantages for the gratification of theanibition, while the lust for power, for houor, and for pecuniary reward tends to tighten the systeni by centralization in government, with the enlargement of the emoluments thereof. Here is a point for watching and prayer, and especially prayer, for no amount of picketing nor any manner of breastworks can secure < lis against this enemy. All possible precaution in legislation cannot protect the system ucrjiinsif Hip pvil. It is the best and strongest, but for that very reason the most dangerous, when it becomes the instrument of ambition. There is one remedy and one safeguard, aud one only, viz : Religion. Nothing can be more pernicious to personal piely, nor hinder more effectively the real mission of (he church, than the love of glory. The Master said : "How can ye believe which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that cometh from God only?" Again it is written: Prefer one another in honor, and many among the chief rulers believed on him, but they did not confess him lest they should lie put out of the synagogue, for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. It is universally true that a glory-seeking ministry is barren in spiritual power and soul-saving. A Funny Problem. It was a warm, sleepy afternoon unci the scholars in Miss Plummer's school looked and acted as if they wished four o'clock would hurry along. The class in mental arithmetic were lazily droning through their lesson, when Deacon Day popped his cheery face in at the door. All the children loved him, and were glad when he came to visit the school. Perhaps he saw they needed *omething to wake them up, so when the clas9 was through with the lesson, he gave them this problem. "If eighteen cows were going through a narrow gate where only one could pass at a time, which cow could look back aud say, 'There are eleven pairs of horns behind me?'" The class thought busily for.a mill. ute; then up came Tommy Tuft's hand. "Which one, Tommy?" asked the deacon. "The seventh." "No." Another minute of study, tlieu Celia .w.f ..k, >.;? Iiuxil "What do you think, Celia?" "I think it might be the eighth, for when the cow turned her head to look hack, her own horns would be behind her wouldn't they?" "No, it isn't the eighth," the deacon Raid. About this time little Johnny Hartshorn on the front seat, began to snicker. "What are you laughing at, Johnnv?" asked Miss Plumnier. "Cows?can't talk !" giggled Johnny. Deacon Day laughed, too then. "Johnny has answered it," he said. "None of* the cows could do it, of course. Then all the scholars laughed and woke up for the rest of the day, and Deacon Day bowed himself out.?M. \V. C. in. Companion. The Two Sexes. The men do not love the women so much as they love to have the women love th?m. When you have found a poor girl who is said to he pretty, you have found a really pretty girl. Women are most sensible when nmoiig women, and men are most sensible when among women. Home women are never pleasant to their husbands except when there is some other women around. The man with (he greatest joy, and the man with the heaviest sorrow, arc the men who say the least. The man never renews hisyotith but once; a woman renews hers every time she puts on a new dress. Times are changing to such an extent that it will only be a few years until parents will be sent to bed for talking back. v, ... ! Epigrammatic. These saying are characteristic of j their author?Josh Billings : Pniise is sown with one band, censure with both. After all is sed and done, there are but phew persons, if enny, ov real merit who fail to be appreshiated in this world. I have known people who had so little karakter that they was just az apt to do a thing wrong az rite. It allwus takes two to keep up a quarrel, and it keeps them both bizzy. Arrows of wit should be shot from a bow of good sense.

In reply it may be said that there are three quite sure ways of knowing the "f tlio n?rvinasc whif'll HVPl'V I |JUUW wi - , ? ? j one should learn : First, three-fourths of the moss on trees grows on the north side.

I ^ r . Can <>od Nee Through the Crack. A lady came home from shopping one day, and was not met as usual by Itheghid welcome of her little son. He seemed shy of her; skulked into the entry, hung about the garden, and wanted to be more with Jiiidget than was common. The mother could not account for his manner. i When she was uudressing him for I bed. "Mother," he asked, "can God see through the crack in the closet j door?" "Yes," said his mother. I "And can he see when it is all dark ! there?" "Yes," answered the mother. "God jean see everywhere and in every ! place." I "Then God saw me and he'll (ell you, mother. When you were gone, I 'got info your closet, and I took and 'ate up the cake; and I am sorry, very sorry," and bowing his head on his j mother's lip, he burst out crying. I Poor little bov ; all day he had been j wanting to hide from bis mother, just as Adam and Eve afier iliey had dis-l 'obeyed God, tried to hide from his j presence in the garden of Eden. Guilt j made them afraid. It put a gulf between him and his mother. You see j how his wrong doing separated him I from her. He was no longer at ease in J her sight. His peace was goue. This !ia the wav sin divides us from God. I We are not happy there. We hi-Je away from Him, and try to forget Him. How did George get .back to his moflier? How did he get rid of liis feeliug of guilt aud shame'? He took the best, the only true way, by repentlug and confessing it. "His mother forgave him, no doubt, and he tasted again the sweets of nestling close beside her, and loving to he in her dear society. He was restored to her confidence aud love. Who Wrote The Bible ? Moses wrote Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Joshua, Pliineas or Eleazer wrote the book of Joshua, but it is not certain which of them. Samuel is the penman of the books of Judges and Ruth. He also wrote the first acts of David, and probably Nathan and Gad wrote his hist acts; and the whole was formed into two books wiiicn were nameu auer samuei as the most eminent person called the first and second book of Samuel. Jeremiah most probably compiled the two books of the Kings. Ezera compiled the two books of Chronicles. He is also the author of the book bearing his name. Nehemiah wrote Nehemiah. Elihu was most probably the penman of the hook of Job. Moses may have written the first two and the last. Somo think that Job wrote it himself. David wrote most of the book of Psalms. Asaph penned a few of them. Solomon wrote Proverbs, Ecclesias tes and the Songs of Solomon. Isaiah is the author of the prophecy of Isaiah. Jeremiah wrote the book bearing his name, and the*Lamentations of Jeremiah. Micha, Nahum, Habakkuk, lluggai and Zachariah wrote the prophecies bearing their names. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote the Gospels named after them. Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles. Paul is ihe author of the Epistles to the Romans, Corinthians, Calatians, Thessalonians, Timothy, Titus, Philemon and (probably) Hebrews. James, the son of Alpheus, who was cousin german to Christ, and one of the Apostles, wrote the Epistle of James. Peter wrote the Epistle bearing his name. The Apostle John wrote the three Epistles of John. Jude, the Apostle, brother of James, j called also Lebbeus whose surname j was Tliaddeus, a near relative to our; Lord, wrote the Epistle of Jude. St. John, the Divine wrote Revelation. T/tc hoy's Holiday. A kind salutation costa nothing; it smooths the rough way so flife wonderfully. A Bit of Suggestion. ' How is your Latin petting along, Herbert ?" "tasked his father at the breakfast table. "Oh, tolerably, sir." said Herbert, with a half-scowl, which was becoming very familiar with his face. "I don't like Latin much myself: and some of the boys are such bad scholars they keep the whole school back. I wish I was in some other class." "Will you have some more potatoes, Herbert?" asked his mother. "Well, I don't believe 1 want auy; I don't think this is a very good way of cooking potatoes. We iised to have them a great deal nicer." "Can you spare a quarter of an hour after breakfast to help me with my examples, Herbert?" asked his sister. "Oh, I suppose so. I did want to stop ami speak to Jack Lee about that book of mine he borrowed and hasn't returned. I wish'folks wouldn't borrow; but if they will borrow, I wish they would return things. What are your examples?" "In the least common multiple.', "That's easy enough, I'm sure. I wonder if you're bright at arithmetic, Lill? But, of course, l'JI sliow you. Seems to me this steak is tough." "We'll have to be looking after the wood supply soon," suggested mother. "And then there'll be more piling for me, of course," remaked Herbert. "Bridget must burn a lot of wood in the kitchen." "While you are helping your sister with the examples, Herbert," said his mother, "I'll put a stitch into that necktie if you'll hand it to inejf&rttfe' thing about itjfc'ems to 'de""tvrong*" "It's .v miserable fitting thing, ?C&?e?fy worth mending. I wore it last night, and it bothered me all the evening." "By the way, did you have a pleasant time last night?" "Oh, rather. But I expected to hear something.liner. 1 could have done nearly as well myself." Herbert's father folded up the newspaper he had been reading, laid it beside his plate, and turning towards the boy gazed at him so tixedly and so critically that he looked inquiringly at ljim, at length asking : "Well, what is it, lather?" "Herbert, do you know that we all love you "Why." exclaimed Herbert, greatly astonished at the question, "I suppose you do." "Are you sure of it?" "Yes," said Herbert, laughing a little. "I am quite sure of it." "You are sure that you, with your sister, are the object of the most eon- j stant, lovingeareandsolicitudeon the! 1 part of your mother and myself?" i "Yes,* father," said Herbert more thoughtfully. "JJut why do you ask?" "You are sure that your best and highest welfare is the tiling most earnestly sought by us?" " Yes, sir." "And there is nothing in the world i so precious to us at this table as just we four?" "Yes, sir." "You are a bright boy?yes, bright as the average ; perhaps a little brighter, although my thinking so may come of my being slightly partial io you? well looking, too, well kept and healthy. You are able to take in the full delights of out-door boy life; and enill t\ ffoMfll'ol U'Ul' *lnr? * f J".> .>??? CVHUW1 lil II " "V I "WW ? | you?'-" "Yes, sir." "And you are fairly happy ill your surroundings?" "Yes, father; in everything. Iiut will you please itll me what all this means?" "Ves, I've come to that now. You wake in the morning in the full enjoyment of every earthly blessing. You come to ihe table surrounded by those to \vh >m your happine-s is dear." Herbert looked into his father's eye, waiting to hear mure, as he made a slight pause. "It seems as if a boy in your condition of life ought to find happiness in everything. Hut instead of this, everything to your own showing seems to bear a thorn for you. Of the half dozen things touched upon within the last fifteen minutes, sonic pertaining to your studies, some to your small duties, everything has been met by you by either a direct 01 indirect complaint or fault findimr. I really am afraid, my boy, that life is becoming a burdensome, unhappy thing to you." "Oh, you are mistakeu, father," said Herbert" with rising color. "I really don't want to keep up a scowl and a growl about things. 1 don't think of it half the time." 'Then," said his father, with the luilf-jesting expression of his face giving place to one wholly serious, "isn't it time you were thinking of making dear to you the happiness of those to whom your happiness is dear? Do you ever reflect how a spirit of faultfinding casts a shadow about you upon those who are entitled to something better than shadows from you?how a complaining voice and scowling face take away the sweetness and beauty from the hours which should be highly prized?hours in which we who love each other are together ?" "Indeed, father, I never took it to heart before. But I will." There are many like boys in the homes all over the world. Wouldn't they do well to take it to heart?? American Jfcssci-gcr. 4 <23, ?

The importance of teaching the children tiie evil effects of alcohol upon the human body, and the fundamental truths of total abstinence, i* being more and more appreciated by the church and by temperance organizations. Temperance catechism, recitations, dialogues, arithmetic, and readers are being placed in their hands; and the blessings of temperance, as being taught and impressed upon their minds as never before. No better work can be done foi* the future of our country than the right training of the children. -0 *-X'' Sheep Steal ins. There are some things that happen to a man too good lo keep from the public. We sometimes get caught in j our own trap. i When I was Presiding Elder on the Elisabeth town District, my first Quarterly Meeting at Loitch field was held just at the close of a protracted meeting a* the Baptist church. During this meeting I was told that the Baptist minister made a very earnest effort i to proselyte some of our Methodist into the Baptist Church ; and in fact got a most excellent sister, who had been a Methodist elsewhere, before she mar- ' ried a leading Baptist of that place. < On Sunday, at 11 o'clock, I took an < occasion to speak of religious proselyting and the proselyte is. 1 denounced the whole business and called it moral sheep stealing. Using Key. Tom Bottomly's illustration, 1 said : "If you had a neighbor, one who lived ( on an adjoining farm, and you both had a flock of sheep, and your neigh- < bor would get salt, go among your J sheep, call them around him, sprinkle some salt down, then catch a sheep, lift it over the fence, put it in his mark, and claim it as his own, what would you call him ? You would call him a sheep thief; a?>d a sheep thief lie would be !" At the close of the sermon I opened the doors of the , Church ; and to 1113' surprise a Baptist 1 sister walked up and joined. Of 1 course tliere was Homing leu mr mc to do but to take her in and put her into the Methodist fold, call her om,. sheep. There was a flu27''a 11 overtlie hm]^.- (jur sexton was an Q!jJJiitY*ttst(iurkey, an intelligent old fellow, by the name of Matt. The next day I metMatt on (liestreet; taking oft* his hat, with a broad grin on his face, he said, "Good inornin,' massa." I said, "Good morning, Uncle Matt." "I seed somebody lif' a sheep ober de fence, yesterday. aYah! yah ? yah!" "But, Uncle Matt, T did not say 'coo sheep a single time." "I know dat. But you sprinkle some salt down dar do. all de same." I went back there some months after, and another good Baptist joined our Church, to the great amusement of Uncle Malt. While at Leitchfield during the Holiness meeting, Uncle Matt limited me up, and said, "Bi udder Peters, I see you got some salt for de sheep yet." While preaching one day in Leitchfield, at a Quarterly meeting, a good sister got happy and shouted. BrolhlitHu luiv ilnvcor four vears old. became alarmed mid began to cry.j and said, "Pa, take me out of here; for be has hurt one, nnd be will burl another directly."?Cor. Central Mrth~\ od inf. Two Harvard youths were making | a pedestrian tour in the Scottish Highlands and in the habit of .slopping at small farm-houses and asking for milk, the charge for whieh was invariably a penny a glass. Calling on Sunday at a romantic looking cottage in lileii Nevis, they were sourly received j by the cotter's wife, and though the! milk was supplied, the proffered two-j pence was refused, with the.solemn ad-j monition as to the impropriety of such j doings on such a day.
