SU< \' ere By Rev. L. B. Bouchelle, M. D. ?V After tbe Savior had finished?com- wi (o pleted?the plan of salvation, and as- pb ^ cended to the place wnence He came, sta ^ in an upper room in Jerusalem were am | assembled about one hundred and an< e twenty persons, mam auu icmaic, wail- wu ingfor the descent of the promised of Comforter, the Holy Spirit. "And J they were all filled with the Holy jud ^9 Ghost, and began to speak with other ma (q tongues, as the spirit gave them utter- rea v ance." (Acts, 11:4. "And they were spt M all"?citizens and visitiors at Jerusa- pre R?) lern?"amazed, and were in doubt, say- tioi I ^ ins to another, What meaneth this? rea I q Others mocking, said, These men are tea 1$ full of new wine." Whereupon Peter M? arose and said, "This is that which wo vfy was spoken by the prophet Joel," as to I Ig previously quoted. (Acts, II: 12, 13 erg lX 160 fc Letit be remembered that the women the K*) present shared equally with the men tioi u in the endowment of the Holy Spirit, mu ? So it is seen that from the advent till No 1\ the day of Pentacost women were in- iug fes spired, and labored in the Master's the W vineyard. hel fe Furthermore, Paul tells us (Actsxxi: ass |(? 9) that Philip "had four daughters, ed j M virgins, which did prophesy." Does 1 |K) it not astonish and grieve those who Ian (q oppose women preachers and preach- the S iug, that Paul did not there and then dec JS silence those four virgins from their gre holy work ? But God had laid His jug []/ hands?His Spirit?upon them, and ed II? Paul had not the pudaciiy of some of etii Jl^ his modern admirers?to oppose what I God had done. wo Let it be remembered, too, that in we the instances cited from the Bible in the I the proceeding part or tnis arucie, drs = widows, wives, virgins and handmaid- I |eus were all called to the good work, wo I From the highest to the humblest she ..

Those who oppose women tha preachers rely exclusively on four ut- jn e tenances of Paul for comfort and sua- fals 3 re" teuance.

I remem- 0 ;r, too, what he said then about the a ilue of a trade to the average boy. "Young man," he said, laying his G eat broad hand on my shoulder, and b oking at me earnestly with his keen, K eel-blue Irish eyes, "next to a clear mscience, a trade is as good a thing A any young man can have in this F untry. You can carry it with you y 1 your life long ; you have to pay Mther rent nor taxes upon it, and it ill help you around a sharp corner heu most other things will fail." I have never forgotten that utterance am a man who started in life?after T nding in New York from Ireland? , a helper to a machinist,, who be- h me the leading shipbuilder of his j( xie, and who, up to the hour that he ' as stricken with a fatal illness, could ke place of his workmen, whether . was a man driving rivets or an ex- ?? rt putting together the most delicate ,rts of a steamship's machinery. ? Something very like what John ? Dach said I heard another great man, ho is now dead, say. This was Peter >oper, a man of whom American >ys cannot know too much, and horn they certainly cannot too much ** mire. "If I had my way," said the d> nerable philanthropist, on the oc- (jj sion to which I refer, "I would give dj ery boy a trade. Theu I would have f m stick to it, love it, and be good to If he does, it will be good to him." g To which the writer in the Sewing ?* achine News adds: To an observing and interesting per- j* d, how sad is the spectacle, and now rcible is the fact, wnich ought to be jL 3d for serious reflection to every merican citizen, that very few of our * uerican boys ever learu a trade, and a result almost everywhere the lead- J g mechauical positions are filled by en of foreign birth. . Why is this? Is it because our boys e less able ? l's it because there are g i facilities for learning trades in tbis untry ? To the last question the ar- ? ment may be advanced that the j* ide uDions lny too inany aud too avy restrictions regarding the numr of apprentices which will be em- j? jyed or allowed, Argument admit- ir i and the point taken granted. But ' e bottom cause is Young America's ?lon't want to." He would rather ' ind behind a counter in some store, r: canvass for some agency, or work in me factory at piece work, where he n earn mure money, at first, per g" jek than if put to learning a trade. This would all be very well, provided i could be sure that such em ploy ment auld last as long as he needed to ' i jrk for a living. We all know that P. i substantial building exists, or can T, ist, without a solid foundation, ' erefore let us encourage our boys to | ^ irn trades. Where there are trade ? bools, take advantage of them, and ?. ery city should have one or more, fj iach them that work is honorable, lat it is no disgrace to lay brick. f lat it is not unmanly to be seen on e street carrying a kit of plumber's :* dIs with a clear conscience. Though ^ e work be dirty, the money is as ;an as that gained in auy other way. Encourage them to learn trades and terward to rise in them. Having a od common school education for a irter, their native smartness will en- "5 ile them to master their trades, and of ' avoiding all unclean habits, they f? ed have no fear for the future, for P< eir services will always be in de- ,I] i le ana. - aj Some growers have reported excel[it results from nitrate of soda on p* awberry bed9.

That New Minister. 14 Pineville ? John Strongman. " bat is what the Bishop said when, t the closing session of the conference, e read tbe appointments. Who is jhn Strongman ? Never heard hie amc before. How does he look ? i he a popular preacher ? Is he socijle ? Will the young folks like him? fhat is the quantity and quality ot 18 iamnyr wen, one tmngis cer,in : he is to be our minister for a year, 3d we must endure bim. Yes, and that you may do John trongman full justice we proceed to iy a thing or two. First, ao not ex ?ct him to be at all like tbe brother ho has just gone. He is built after a fferent temperament. His tastes are fferent. His education has been a .fferent style. He grew up in a difrent atmosphere. Strongman is a. jiet man ; acts as though he were isbful; seems cold; people will say is hard to get near him. But wait a hile. You will know him by and Y, and then see in him as great and ue a man as ever breathed. You iay never think him quite as bright id agreeable as brother Breezy, but ime one else will. All men have leir special affinities. The old pastor id his. Tbe new one will have his. And so in the pulpit. Breezy was ight and winning ; told anecdotes, joted poetry, was a bit dramatic and id an energetic way that was very easing to some. Now, Strongman is lother man. He is thoughtful and liberate. He is more of a logician tan he himself suspects. He exhorts ss and reasons more. He does not re,te many affecting incidents, but lays old of great truths. That is what a reat many people in your congregaon like. They thought Breezy too iperticial and emotional. They were 3t fed. Now they hate a man who <11 fitortial-i o full tyidq 1 nvopr tiran. ,. ill 1U1UXOU c* 1UI1 UiVl ?

Do not ace him on probation for six months, 'ake him feel at home right away, ake hold with energy. Choke everv ord of criticism. You have said jod by to brother Breezy. Let him >. Turn to the new minister. Give im your heart?all your heart Besve in him. Take him up. Pray for is success. Expect God to use him r upbuilding of your Zion.

Alcoholic stimulants exhaust the rength of those who are called to pronged physical endurance in extremes ' heat or cold.

Lieutenant Greey testified to the advantages of total jstineuce among his men in the Arcis regions; and Henry M. Stanley )re witness to the danger of any alcoDlic drinks in Equatorial Africa, nd now Miss Kate Marsden, whose tmarkable journey on sledge and orseback to visit the outcast Siberian pers is attracting deserved attention, as a similar storv to tell of the value ' abstinence and the danger of alcool. She says, in the preface to her arrative of her journey : "I have ever taken any active part in promotig temperauce principles, but now I unk that the record of my exertions I Siberia, without the aid of etimuints, may provo as beneficial to othrs as if my voice had been raised ill irtbering the cause for years past. I olr.nhnl wlmfpvpr fhrnuchmifc le journey, except on two occasions f great exhaustion, when the slimu* int only made me worse. I have lerefore good ground for recommend* lg abstinence from alcohol where luch physical endurance is necesiry." If a man says he drinks wine r whisky because he likes to, he may s supposed to tell the simple truth ; ut if he says he takes these simulants 1 order to meet the extremes of eather, or to give him powers of phycal endurance, he is to be pitied for ot knowing any better. A college :hlete must be a total abstainer while i training for a contest, even if he ranks freely, or moderately, at other mes.
