There is no common fund in the church st their support, but their temporal 't ;ts shoild be looked after. It is the 4y of tlhe Irethren of the church to ontribitte to, these wants. Thoe who reblasled with this world's goods should pe'n?;ter' hearts dud exercise charity. '1lieri'd here a better field for its of dee thi toward the poor, the a he needy of their own faith tff ion, trouble and pov b mbn to realize their f b eeek that richep :aken away. F' 3log the wa frequent' by it acre notify.. dhe duty of .1is class of the at their wants are. are, he should take oef. Hif duty, thon, to vofold. First, if the church to distribute tiom with discre. 1 and prudence. Socond, if there is 1o fund for this purpose, it is his duty o rtiao it. In the next place we remark that from he example and arguments above useil ve can clearly deduce the conclusion that )eaeons are to look after the secular afll ire, generally, of the church. Tho ox mple shows that the original ])eaeons 'ore to serve tables or distribute theshms ecauso it wiu not reason1 for the apos es to loave the ministration of the word > do this. Neither would it be reason >r the preacher of the present day to %ave the word and look after the tempo dities of the church. ''ho apostles aim 3 at the distribution of labor. o we .ntend that the Deacons ofilco in the tuilding of God is to look after its tem oralities. Now let us direct our atten ,n riofv tIn R>miu of these seenlar or specially the poor, feel like they are in hie church of God and anong the child en of the cavonant. In the next pla1ce it is the business )f the D)eacon to atted( to the contri mtions of the church. In our chi urch aonltribu1tions are0 regularIly taken up or1 stted( purp)oses, such as "Fore3ignu volenit scemios, inl eo the p)lace of the t he. original chris !rough thiemi that meA Iieatheni, widows, orphans and needy are reached. The faithful col iection and mlinlistra'tionl of these iuns i gr-eat andLo responsible duty mnecxedl to the D)eacons office. Thecs ~Ollections4 shouhl be I taken up regu arly and sent pr~)optly to the proper ~ommitte. Books of aiccounit should '.0 kept by the Secretary oni strict ly mtlineOss pincioiples. The 1Deacons of ul' the churches doing this faithfully .hey cas a mulitituid., of agiJzd ftui :o swell inito one great funid which nay do ain tutold amounit of good. In tlhe next p)lae. it is I lhe D)ea. sonls duity to look aft."r the sulpport >f the p)astor. It is ai lamnlt.able tact ;hat the preachers~ of the Glorious - aOpel are not sup)ported as they hould be. Should a moissenger Comoi into your ho~i use an declare~ to~ you hait you had inherited a large fort'une in a foreigni country, youl wouild treat aim like a king. T1he faith ful inuister >f the Cro)ss plaims~uui to you that 'QU have an inhleritanre t.haut fadeth tot .awaiy inl the "Sweet bevond." dow do you treat him! . You somfe imes actually allow him to be with 'ut broad. "Tile laborer is wo'rthy of his hire," saith the Eternal Scrip Ne. You give it to mieni in all worl *g emiploymlents. Much more so) us(uld you give it to those who are )hiployed in work{ing for your spirit i*1 good. So much as to'the (duty of Ig prLimg the panstor. But the prac Ii m4nanner of doing it is what aquches our subject. Ralising the fuand is the D)eacons du.ty: contribu tig. to it willingly and liberally is the duty of tihe in lividual membllier. ~he Deaeon should consult freely wth thes postor and learn what bis n'ed ore communicato the samle to t@.i inemnbers of the congregation, and ou:t:gf )is own and thmir poc(~kets col let te necessary fuifs. Or if the p$'stor is paid a Balary, it is tihe othi ce'st duty to see that tihe salary is paid at tbe time and in the proper aigount to mneet fully the necess:aarios oft)18b minister. By this nmeans he .give.is time w.tully to the muin IN ofthe Word anz he will not be Sby pinhig ants. Lo do d be azman of good be".ws eat, have a warmechristian heart ing his own breast and hae bey up to the full ime as This part of. 'us sct oOpt-the the 'the 4uties which e4owee-to 4h. floek he til b ~xgure that hAi. ip 01*t aie gqireueit the d h h has to disch bfvitneb his oftce being to k after the pour, the faithful collection and distribution of all funds and at tending with diligence to the sup port of the paster, and we may add o this all the secular business of the church. Now, in conclusion, is there any other duty resting upon the Deacon's. It is the duty of all officers in the church, as well as pIrivate 'lembers, to (o what spiritual ' y can. The Deacon Stephe nyer ftl defense of hir )ity before the J, the Deacor' opian 1' the dleS But - day life in the sick -.1 opportunity serve their spir can drop a kind do a good deed there ier. He can work in the ?eeting and Sunday School, he feels like it, lecture from word of God. Becauso he is to sorve the church temporally does not prove that he should be dumb or in active in oth.r departments of the Masters kingdom. Here we shall stop and leave other duties which suggest thelmselves to the other mnem bers: of this assembly. That Deacon Who performIs faithfully the (utios whliche we have el(deVore(l to point out we think will "use the of;ice of a )eac()n well 11(1 purchase for hill self ia good degree and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus." Should his churh c-all him to a high er trust, ho can take the rising step with case, or con,tinue to exercise the otliee of a faithful Deacon afn( when his Services here )elow is done, lhe will hear the welcome and faithful saying: "W'ell done, come up higlher." Mn. Emron: In TmE SENTIINEn, of the 5th instant under the caption, "Ned mnor alizes on horse swapping," there is an irticle which is scarcely creditable to "Ned." his would bo Josh Billings style in the orthographical make up of his ar tiele may b useful in hiding bad spell ing; but his affected modesty in ac.nowl edging that he is not a moral philosopher unmasks itself in his at:empt to TRACh principles of morality, and to dictate to Presbyteries, Assoeiationv, and Confer encient heathon philosophors in teaoling muorality. Tihe ordinary eatechism would teach you, that lie who teaches morality should make a reasonable moral showing for himself. Theb truth is, you seem tL be0 afflicted with a sort of mnoral paralysis. You insist upon the necessity of telingi the truth; and yet you adccuse all who swap horses with lying, a charge that you know to he unmchritale, as well as untrue. What is thme matter with you, "'Nod?" What hooks have you baeen reading? You seemi to bie unhappily FA mn1.An with the low seiomice of horse-tooth tiling, and variouis other arte of Joekevismn with which the ordinary man is unmac quainted. D)o no,t bo so hitter against that p)reaicheri that you say did not tell the bad quality of his horse, to the iman with whom lhe traded. Perhlaps you were not p)resenit all the time, i'nd niot preparedfl to mzake at c)rre'ct r-eport. Snoh thire:s and ininuaiiitionia ani you d.'al ini, might cause suspicion to rest upon01 innocent preonehers. As a rule, preaceris use hior sos, and desire (like other people) to have horses to suit thiem, anmd consequenitly they iiwapl horses. But they do niot all lie. A pre~ach er swapped a stump-sucking horse a short time ago, and told the man with whom lhe swapped that tho horse sucked wind. Como "'Ned," got the heam out of your eye, and when you wvrito again, if you ever- do, be mnoreconmsistenit ai.id do a little boettor. .[f you have a poinit to make, do it in a more manuily way. Thrusts from unde- a mask, or an insimumations, that truth and ju utice wvill not sustain, nevor pays. "'Ned" look ovor your artieo ag ain and see if your philosophy thereiti t'rughct is not about this. As I "'Ned' swap) horaos to deoive, therefore all whe swap horses lie. Burn the books that you have boon reading, and then read the Apocrypha, and when you get through the Apocry phau, study the Scriptures, and thus as condi( by dlegreesi to an orthodox level oi moral truth, and philosophy, andym nerves wvill be str-onger-, and your diges tion better. Very Rteepetinly, SAM. ,iUSTI(F. Repott On~ Temperance6 Your committee on Temuporone beg leave to report: That they notice with pleasure the progress of the cause of tempernco, though we are sorry to say that d-rm-dri.iking is still practiced among some of our church members. Would the Lord sp)eed the day when such conduct among proffessors shall be un known. We are glad that the G*ranid Jurors of Piokens County at the recent term of Court recommended the pasage of such laws as shall wholly p)rohib)it the mania facture and sale of intoxicating drinks within the limits of said County. We reeomnmend ohurches to labor with thos that make or sell spirituous liquors, and if they still engage in such ungodly bun, iness and will not desist let the churhem witlldraw from them. et us use all enm energies to advancee total abstinane~ from all in.toxieating drinks.
