He said I hat the only source true happiness lies In God's favor towm us. That we aro by nature, or by Adam sin, alienated from God and cannot be trnl happy until restored to His favor. Th even christians are sometimes deprived i happiness by the burden ot great respone bill ties, and cited Spurgeon, Talmage, 3a Jones, and others as Instances. In lllustr ting his determination to persuade and ii fluence the people to accept the means this happiness, he said that when the arm appeard before Jerusalem and demanded 1 surrender over nine hundred persons wei persuaded, by the speech of one man, to sa rlflce their own lives rather than subtn themselves to the servitude of a foreign pe pie. That If one man could persuade nil hundred to such an act as tbls he felt tbi be, with the advantage of civilization and r llgious freedom, ana with the light of tl Bible, churches,Sunday schools, and religloi literature which we have, could persuade i least some to Beek and to secure the means this happiness, and that be Intended togii his llfeand service in tbls efforts.

To my friends and the public generally J wish to say that I will continue business a at the old stand and shall keep my stock re fdenlsbed at all times with tbe newest and atest goods of tbe season and at lowest prlcei and trust that I may receive a liberal sbare o your patronage In the future. Respectfully, JAMES A. AGNEW. Donalds, February 12, 18U1, 31 In Methodism Adrift. Mr. Editor: In recent reading 01 our church papers my attention haf been especially drawn to some com paratively new features of church eii' terprises and clericalmethods. I maj as well confess adduce that I am something of a backwoodsman, hence possibly, my reluctauce to accept read ily the innovations. I was born and bred a Methodist am/) UniTA n 1 nrniTO Knnn fnn/vltf nnr a Liu. uavc aiwoja uccu uvu^nt, aut have believed, that the church witL its legitimate auxiliary?the Sabbatt school was sufficient for the holy pur poses of its organization. Up to twen ty years ago, too, the class meeting was a regular and beneficial feature ir almost all Methodist churches; todaji it is a rarity. Very recent years have witnessed the introduction of new societies as arms of the church, but which are not, I am forced to believe, essentially pari and parcel of it. Did the provisions of the churcb, aforetime, fail to reach the youth of the laud ? Did tht "fathers" ignore the needs and claims of the constantly rising generations 1 Are such the reasons for the new order of things? Be this as it may, I, for one, cannot believe the needs of the hour demand all the changes and additions to be seen now-a-days throughout our Methodist church*}*. 1 am quite in favor of extending all avenues of usefulness and instruction and development fot young and old, but let it be done strictly within and of the church itself. The multiplicity of ''societies," "leagues," etc., in the church organization tends, I believe, to minimize and obscure the preaching and teaching of the Word, and the exercise of kindred established offices of the ministry and the church. Besides, the mainteuancejjof these adjuncts (separately) necessarily involves needless and, in the aggregate, enormous expenditures of time, labor and money in the holding of county, state and general conventions. How mucii more benefit could bo derived and be stowed by otherwise employing the means specified cau be computed by individual readers to their own satisfaction and surprise. The military feature now being introduced in certaiu places as a part of the "Epworth League" curriculum will naturally strike wonder and 3bame to the minds and hearts of those who have been led to believe that that organization is in some wise enlisted in the cause of the "Prince of Peace." Although, as has b?en admitted, I am rather a "backwoodsman," I will not withhold my voice in pleading with "the powers that be" to keep pure and simple and efFeetive the good old Methodism. Instead of adding new, separate, societies, incorporate all needed additions in the old body, and revive the class meetings, revive them vigorously, and keep the fires of old Methodism burning brightly with a living fire.
