THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN.
The rights of woman, what sire they T
The right to labor, love and pray,
The right to weep when others weep,
The right to wake when others sleep.
The right to dry the fallen tear.
The right to quell the rising fear;
The right to smooth the brow of care,
And whisper comfort to despair.
The right to watch the partmg breath,
To soothe and cheer the bed of death,
The right when earthly hopes all fail,
To point to that within the veil.
The right the wanderer to reclaim,
And win the lost from paths of shame ;
The right to comfort ana to bless
The widow and the fatherless.
The right the little ones to guide,
In simple faith to Him who died ;
With earnest love and gentle praise,
To bless and cheer their youthful days.
The right to live for those we love,
The right to die that love to prove;
The right to brighten earthly homes,

FLASHES OF FUN.
? A modern philosopher thinks it is a mistake
to suppose that women have stronger attachments
than men. A man is often attached
to an old hat; but he asks who ever heard
of a woman being attached to an old bonnet?"
? An Irishman was indulging in the intellectual
pastime of sucking raw eggs and
reading a newspaper. By some mischance
he contrived to bolt a live chicken. The
poor chick chirruped as it went down his
throat, and he very coolly said, "By the
powers my young friend, you spoke too
late!"
? At a trial of a criminal case the prisoner
entered a plea of "not guilty," when one of
the jurymen put on his hat and started for
the door. The judge called him back and
informed him that he could not leave until
the case was tried. "Tried?" queried the juror:
"why he acknowledges that he is not
guilty!"
? A little five year old was being instructed
in morals by his grandmother. The old
lady told him that all such terras as "by
golly," "by jingo," "by thur.der," Ac., were
only little oaths, and but little better than
other profanities. In fact she said, she could
tell a Drofane oath by the prefix "by." All
such were oaths. "Well, then, grandmother,"
said the little hopeful "is 'by telegraph,' which
I see in the newspapers, swearing?" "No,"
said the old lady, "that's lying."
? A geutleraan not extremely given to piety
was dismayed at being asked to say grace at a
strange table. To refuse and explain would
be equally distressing. He chose to say the
grace, and started off brisk ly enough with
"Oh Lord, bless this table." Just here, being
unused to the business, he nearly broke down,
but by a gigantic effort pulled through with,
"World without end. Yours, respectfully,
amen."
Cold Cabbage.?George Abrahams was
extravagantly fond of cold cabbage. One day,
seeing that a dishful was left after dinner,
he asked his wife to save it for salad at night.
About raiduight George came home laboring
under a stress of heavy wither. Feeling
hungry and thinking of his favorite cabbage,
he asked where it was.
His wife replied, "In the pantry on the
second shelf."
Down he went, found the cabbage, got out
the oil mustard and vinegar; cut up the
cabbage, dressed it to the qeeen's taste, aud
ate it all.
In the moruing, the wife noticed the plate
of cabbage where she had placed it the day
before, and turning to her "Dear George," innocently
asked why he did not eat the cabbage.
"I did," he said.
"Hnw did vnn like it?"
"Oh ! not very well; it was tough and
stringy."
"But here is- the cabbage now, where did
you find any more ?"
"Why, on the second shelf, where you told
me.
A quick look at the shelf by the wife, and
then a cry of agony.
"Why, George, you have saten 820 worth
of lace collars and cuffs that I put in starch ;
stringy cabbage, indeed!"
Call on Hans.?Here is an account of a
little census scene which came off in Ewen
street, between the Enumerator and a gentleman
from Germany:
"Who lives here ?"
"Yaw."
"What's your name?"
"Sharmany, on der Rhine."
"What's your father's name?"
"Nix for Straw."
"When did you arrive iE. this city?"
"Mit a steamboat."
"Got any children?"
"Yaw?two barrells mit kraut."
"How loug have you resided in this house ?"
"Two rooms and der basements."
"Who owns the building?"
"I pays not'ing. Hans pays der same twice
a mont."
"Where did you live last year?"
"Across der red store you come mit der
market in your right hand, behind der pump
vat pelongs to der placksmith shopes."
B3F One sometimes receives consolation
from a source wholly unexpected. Two men
were in a boat and trying to cross the rapids.
The traveler wa3 timid in presence of the
turbulent waters, and, clinging to both sides
of the little cockle shell, said to the boatman
in trembling tones, "Ar'n't people sometimes
lost here ? It seem? to me to be very dangerous."
The sturdy ferry ma a gave an extra
tug at the oars, and then replied cheerily,
"Lor' bless you, sir, I never knew a man to
be lost here, though I've been on this river off
and on for nigh forty years. Why, only
last month my brother John was drowned
right on this very spot that we are going over
now, but he wasn't lost, for we found his
body two days afterward, in tbe creefc Deiow
there."
{J?" Of tbe late Bishop Ames the following
anecdote is related : While presiding over a
certain conference in the West, a member
began a tirade against the universities and
education, thanking God that he had never
been corrupted by contact with a college.
After proceeding thus for a few minutes, the
Bishop interrupted with the question, "Do
I understand that the brother thauks God
for his ignorance?" Well, yes," was the "answer,
"you can put it that way if you want
to." "Well, all I have to say," said the
Bishop in his sweet musical tones, "all I have
to say is that the brother has a great deal to j
thank God for."
a?1* Recently a well-known barrister was1
concerned in a case where the question involved
was as to the mental condition of the
testatrix. The witness under examination,
herself an aged lady, had testified to finding
her friend falling, childish, and that when
she told her something she looked as though
she did not understand. Counsel, cross examining,
tried to get her to describe this ,
look, but she did not succeed very well in
doing so. At last, getting a little impatient, ;
he asked, "Well, how did she look? Did
she look at you as I am looking at you now, !
for instance ?" The witness very demurely
replied, "Well, yes?kind of vacant like."
An inveterate Yankee tobacco-chewer
was in the habit of declaring about once a
month that he would "never chew another
piece," but broke his pledge as often as he
made it. On one occasion, shortly after he
had "broke off for good," lie was seen taking
another chew. "Why, said his friend, you ,
told me you had given up that habit; but I
see you are at it again." "I have gone to
chewing, and left off lying."

Care of Boots and Shoes.?When leather
is exposed to the influences of wet and dry,
it will shrink and become hard. A few years
ago the soles of a pair of kip-skin boots shrank
lengthways almost an inch, during one year.
My practice usually is to saturate the soles
of new shoes &ud boots, with linseed oil.
The soles are held before the fire, the oil being
applied with a paint brush, and dried
into the leather by as much heat as the leath
er will bear without burning. Linseed oil
being a drying and gummy oil, will render
the soles impermeable by water, and make
the leather wear like iron. But linseed oil
should never be applied to the upper leather,
as it will render the leather hard. The soles
need to be kept hard by linseed oil, and the
upper leather soft, by the application of
neat's foot oil. To keep the upper leather
from settling down in large wrinkles, and
from shrinking, after having been exposed to
wet and mud, my practice is to wash the dirt
off, and then put in lasts that will extend
the wet, upper leather, and hold it while drying,
so that no wrinkles will form, nor will the
leather shrink. If lasts are not large enough,
the boots or shoes are filled with shreds of
old cloth, which are pressed in as tightly as
kn o ufifF atiVlr Rv this means the
uau Ut Tf 1WU M UflM WV?VM* ? J
upper leather will be held in a smooth position
until it is thoroughly dry.
Drinking Ice Water.?There is no more
doubt that drinking ice-water arrests digestion
than there is that a refrigerator would
arrest perspiration. It drives from the stomach
its natural heat, suspends the flow of gastric
juice, and shocks and weakens the delicate
organs with which it comes in contact.
An able writer on human diseases says:
Habitual ice water drinkers are usually very
flabby about the region of the stomach. They
complain that their food lies heavy on that
patient organ. They taste their dinner for
hours after it is bolted. They cultivate the
use of stimulants to aid digestion. If they
are intelligent, they read upon food, and what
the physiologist has to say about it?how long
it takes cabbage and pork and beef and potatoes,
and other meats and esculents, to go
through the process of assimilation. They
roar at new bread, hot cakes, fried meat, imagining
these to have been the cause of their
maladies. But the ice water goes-down all
the same, and finally friends are called in to
take a farewei look at one whom a mysterious
Providence has called to a clime where,
as far as is known, ice water is uot used. The
number of immortal beings who go hence to
return no more, on account of an injudicious
use of ice water, can hardly be estimated.
Onions.?From our own experience, and
the observation of others, we can fully indorse
the testimony of the St. Louis Miller,
on the healthful properties of the above esculent.
Lung and liver complaints are certainly
benefited, often cured, by a free cousump
tion of onions ; either cooked or raw. Colds
yield to them like magic. Don't be afraid of
them. Taken at night all offense will be
wanting by morning, and the good effects
will amply compensate for the trifling annoyance.
Taken regularly they greatly promote
the health of the lungs and the digestive
organs. An extract made by boiling down
the juice of onions to a syrup, and taken as a
medicine, answers the purpose very well, but
fried, roasted or boiled, onions are better.
Onions are a very cheap medicine, within
everybody's reach, and they are not by any
means as "bad to take" as the costly nostrums
a neglect of their use may necessitate.
How to Clean Brass and Copper.?
The following mixture will be found the best
thing for cleaning brass, copper, tin, stairrods,
tap9, and even windows, and it is cjuite
worth the trouble of making once a year, as
quantities I give will last the time, and the
best way is to store it in wide-mouthed pickle
jars of glass or stone: 1 pound whiteing, 1
pound rotten stone, 1 pound of soft soap, 1
? * - - -t ?x_.:i>
teacuptui or vinegar, as mucn waier as wm
make it a thick paste. Let it boil fully ten
minutes, and when nearly cold, add half a
pint of spirits of turpentine. When you use
it, put very little on a rag, rub the article
you wish to clean well with it until it becomes
bright, and then polish with a leather
dipped in powdered Bath brick. Unless you
use Bath brick it soon tarnishes; but Bath
brick preserves the polish.
Blowing Out a Kerosene Lamp.?A
very common method of extinguishing a kerosene
lamp is to turn down the wick until only
a minute flame is visible, and then blow
down the chimney. This is a most dangerous
practice, being most frequently the cause of
explosions. People who use kerosene lamps
should make it an absolute rule never to attempt
to extinguish a lighted lamp that way,
however email the flame. Scientific reasons
might be given for such advice, but the best
reason that can possibly be giveu is the fact
that explosions frequently result from a neg
lect of it. It is as easy to blow into the lower
end of the chimney as the top, the only
difference being that in the former case the
person blowing is required to stoop a little,
while in the latter the inflection of the body
is not required.
Cure for Neuralgic Pain.?"Edna"
sends the following to the Chicago Inter
Ocean: Thi3 simple recipe, signed "It. B.
J.," which I clipped from an old paper, has
proved of inestimable value to many : "Some
time since, while suffering from neuralgic
pains in the face, it occurred to me that egg
poultice might relieve. Mixiug an egg with
corn meal, or any coarse flour, proved, not
only in this case, when applied, but in many
since, equally effective." My mother, after
having suffered two or three days and nights
with severe toothache and faceache, tried the
above remedy and experienced relief in a few
moments.
Keeping Fish Fresh With Sugar.?A
method adopted in Portugal for preserving
fish consists in removing the viscera and J
sprinkling sugar over the interior, keeping
the fish in a horizontal position, so that the
sugar may penetrate as much as possible. It
is said that fish prepared in this way can be
kept completely fresh for a long time, the
flavor heinp as Derfect as if recently caught.
O A t w
Salmon thus treated before salting and smoking
possess a much more agreeable taste, a
table-spoon of sugar being sufficient for a
five pound fish.
Wagon Tires.?Wagons or carts with
broad tires may be drawn over newly plowed
land without cutting in, and on muddy roads
they are pulled with greater ease than narrow
tires, because the soil is packed down and not
cut up. The popular prejudice in favor of
narrow tires is a strange one, as it is impossible
to keep roads in repair where they are
used. They are also very hard on horses. If
you are about to purchase a cart think of
this, and have it built with broad tires.
Lice on Stock.?Young stock, especially
calves and colts, frequently become infested i
with stock lice, in winter, which greatly multiply
and nearly suck the life's blood out of
them. They should be looked after, and if
found infested with this species of vermin,
should be treated for it. A moderately strong
solution of carbolic soap applied liberally to
the neck and back will soon effectually rid of
these troublesome pests.
Chicken Cholera.?Kerosene oil will
cure cholera in poultry, by giving them a
tea-spoonful mixed with bluck pepper ; also
bathe the crop and breast with Kerosene oil.
This will cure every time. I have had success
when I have used it; have not lost a fowl in
the operation. Please publish and let the public
know this fact.?Poultry Yard.
A Glandered Horse.?The only proper
thing to do with-a horse that has the glauders
is to shoot him. He can't be cured, and he is
constantly spreading the disease among horse5',
and even men. In some countries it is unlawful
to diive a glandered horse.

PLEASANT WORDS.
No matter how the world may go,
How dark its shadows be,
Or whether June's sweet roses blow
To gladden you and me,
Thore always is a time of day
Our voices may be heard,
When we can pause beside the way
To say a pleasant word.
. The little baiefoot girl we meet,
The maid whose love was vain,
The restless boy upon the street,
And blind man with his cane,
When they receive the humble mite
Will feel their bosoms stirred,
If, with the coin o/ value light,
We pass a pleasant word.
And hearts that new with sorrow ache
Beneath some heavy blow,
Will from the shadows rise and break
The spell of all their woe,
And feel that life hath sunshine new,
And songs as sweet as birds',
If we be but humane and true,
And give them pleasant words.
THAT CURIOUS BABY ELEPHANT.
The calf elephant recently born in Philadelphia,
is the offspring of two Ceylon ele
phants said to have been imported by Barnura
in 1865. Mandrie, the father, is 26
years old and weighs about 8,000 pounds.
Hebe, the mother, is 23 years old and weighs
7,020 pounds. From the time of their land
ing in this country they have shown a special
attachment for each other. The female is
noted for her uniform docility and gentleness,
and the father for his beauty of form. Mandrie
and all the other elephants belonging to
the circus seemed fully aware of the condition
of the mother for months before her delivery ;
and afterwards both calf and father seemed
to recognize the relationship existing between
them, manifesting the same by various uumistakable
signs.
The birth of the calf was tbe occasion of
much exciteraeut among the other members
of the herd whose trumpeting disturbed the
lions and tigers in the adjoining house, caus
ing them to roar in chorus. Hebe became
greatly alarmed, and, with a huge effort,
parted both the great chains to which her
hind feet were fastened to the stakes. The
watchman fled for his life. On his return
with several assistants they found Hebe roll
ing the little one over and over on the ground,
and yelling violently. Fearing that, in her
excitement, she might kill her young one, the
men endeavored to take it from her, but at
that she seized it with her trunk, and tossed
it across the ring, where it fell under a
heavy railing surrounding a large stove. In
an instant she had followed it. Finding
the railing in her way she struck it down
and tore it into splinters. It is now believed
that she had become alarmed by the roaring
of the lious and tigers, and was trying to get
it over to where the other elephants were
chained and to secure their protection. After
a little time the keepers managed to calm
the mother, and she allowed herself to he
led back and rechained, but not for an iustant
would she permit the little one to go
beyond the reach of her trunk. The calf
whs not at all injured by her rough usage.
For some time the mother continued so
nervous and restless as to prevent the young
one from suckling, in which dilemma the
keeper hit on the device of constructing a
kiud of huge nursing bottle out of a yard
of rubber tube and a funnel. One end of
the tube was inserted into the mouth of the
calf, while to the other end was attached the
funnel, into which the mother was milked.
The calf now suckles in the natural way,
and not with the trunk as was supposed by
Buffou and Aristotle. The udder, which is
situated between the two fore legs, consists of
two lobes with one teat each, like the breast
of a woman. The teats project outwards,
making them more accessible to the calf,
which as it sucks, presses Lhe udder with its
little trunk, while the mother slightly advances
and raises the leg on the side in use.
^sometimes the mother will wind her trunk
between the two fore legs towards her udder,
either for the purpose of pressing it as women
do with their breast, or in order to caress her
calf. The little one suckles frequently, and
seems to take great pleasure in walking under
the mother's body, or in sprawling on its
side among its parent's huge feet.
In appearance the calf is very much like
the mother, in shape, color and movement,
but the eyes seem larger in proprrtion, and

hue rouud the lids. It has also a thin mat of
black hair on the top of its head, much resembling
that on some human babies. It has,
too, a decidedly infantile expression, remotely
suggestive of a sucking pig.
When born it weighed 213i pounds, and
stood 35 inches high. It has not been weighed
recently, but is growing rapidly, as all ele
phants do for the first three or four years of
their lives. In its intercourse with human
beings it is disposed to be friendly and inquisitive,
poking its - little trunk into the pockets
and up the sleeves of those whom the mother
allows to approach it. The mother, however,
is extremely jealous of strangers, and will
not allow some old comrades aud pets in the
shupe of a pair of coach dogs, to come too
near. The other elephants in the menagerie,
being of her own kind, she regards as reliable
friends, and seems only flattered by the caresses
they bestow upon her little one.?Scienentific
American.
The Decline of Prices.?A swell of
prices of commodities commenced in this
country about July, 1879, and reached its
maximum six months later. While it lasted,
the exhilaration which it caused in the minds
of men rendered it inopportune, and probably
useless, to remind them that the inexorable
laws of finance, and the facts of the situation,
made it impossible that the outward
turn in valuations could be anything more
than very temporary. A severe contraction
of the metallic currency of the commercial
world had been brought about by extensive
demonetizations of the precious metal, aud had
necessarily resulted iu a marked fall of
prices, or in other words, a notable depression
in business. When the summer of 1879
arrived, nothing had been done to avert the
disaster, except a slow, and as yet trifling,
coinage of silver by the United States, aud
nevertheless the visible fact was that during
the latter part of 1879, the money valuation
of nearly all commodities in America was
going up by leaps and bounds. It thus

from that time to the day of their death, upon
their profession. According to their deluded
notions, they ceased, on the day of their profession.
to l>e sinners. Still, the only feature
of Christianity whitifr they possess is the name.
Their condition is a sad one indeed. The effort
of some persons, whose business it is to
promote the spread of the Christian religion,
seems to be to influence persons to join the
Church. To this work and nothing else, they
devote themselves. It is beyond all doubt the
duty of all men to confess Jesus Christ ; but
before this can be done, something else must
take place. Before a man confesses that he is
converted, he ought to be converted. The
man who professes to be a Christian, when in
fact he is not, is in great danger of never being
a Christian. So soon as a man is converted,
he will, without any persuasion, join the
Church. In fact, nothing but a physical impossibility
can keep a truly converted man
from making a profession of religion.

FAITH.
The importance of faith in the plan of salvation,
as revealed in the Scriptures, is admit
ted by every Bible reader. Christians and infidels,
without a dissenting voice, agree that
the Bible teaches that all who believe in Jesus
Christ, or all who have faith in him as the Saviour,
will be saved ; and that all who do not
believe in him will be lost. Faith, then, according
to the Scriptures, is-the pivotal doctrine
upon which turns the destiny of the human
family. The tenor of the whole Scriptures
is, that all men are lost and ruined, and
that the only way of recovery from this state
of condemnation, is by believing in Jesus
Christ.
If, then, faith in Jesus Christ is of so great
importance, it will be admitted that all should
have a clear and well defined notion of its true
Scripture import. So far as we know, there is
nowhere in the Bible a definition of faith. In
Ileb. xi: 1 it is said "Faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen." This is sometimes quoted as a definition
; but it is not. There is no single word
in any language that will convey to the mind
the full and exact meaning of the word faith,
as used in the Scriptures. If we were asked to
define it, we would say, faith in Jesus Christ
is accepting and relying upon him as our only
and alone Saviour.
It is sometimes said, and by good authority,
that faith is belief in testimony. This is true
as far as it goes, but it stops far short of a full
definition of that faith without which no man
can be saved. Faith in Jesus Christ is certainly
something more than simple belief in
testimony, unless tue wuru uenei ue uncu ?i t*
more comprehensive sense than what is common.
Faith is the gift of God, consequently it is
with propriety said to be a "grace" and a
"saving grace." This, however, does not give
us anything but a general notion of faith, for
repentance is also a grace and a saving grace ;
but, faith and repentance are not the same
thing.
When it is said that faith is a gift of God, it
is meant that it is the gift which enables the
sinner to accept of Jesus Christ and rely upon
him and him only and alone for salvation.
The sinner, in his natural state, is said to be
dead in trespasses and sins. Whether he is
able to believe the testimony of God as true or
not, weneed not inquire. One thing, however, i
is absolutely true, no man, until he is born
again, can any more accept Jesus Christ as his'
Saviour, than the dust of the dead can resurfrnm
flio rrriT'o
ICl/l lVQVii 11 V/|l| HIV g|?T V|
God gives tlie sinner power or capability to
accept of Jesus Christ, and rely upon him for
salvation ; but the exercise of this gift is the
work of the individual upon whom the gift is
bestowed. Before the sinner, dead in trespasses
and sins, that is, spiritually dead, can have
faith in Jesus Christ, he must be bom again.
This no one will deny who will admit that man ,
is wholly alienated from God, Before there '
can be action, there must be life. Faith in
the order of nature is then, we infer, preceded
by regeneration. But in accordance with the
constitution of the human mind, and also the
teachings of the Scriptures, there must be
knowledge as well as life. Such is the constitution
of our minds that we cannot accept and
rely upon a being of whom we are totally ignorant.
This is an impossibility. No man
can accept and rely upon a Saviour of whom
he has not heard. The order of nature, or,
perhaps we would speak with more propriety
were we to say the order of*grace, is regeneration
by God's Holy spirit first; then faith
and repentance. Faith is the motions of the
regenerated soul toward Christ, and repentance
is the motions of the soul from sin and
toward holiness. In regeneration, the soul is
quickened into life. The evidence of that life
is, that the soul accepts Jesus Christ as the
only Saviour of sinners. This is faith.
The knowledge of Jesus is obtained from the
Scriptures. "Faith cometh by hearing, and
hearing by the word of God." "Where there
is no vision, the people perish." "My people
perish," says God, "for lack of knowledge."
Faith may he strong or weak, and is so, generally
in proportion to the amount of Scriptural
knowledge. Faith is always at first weak ;
but it grows as time advances, and finally,
when time ceases, it becomes, in all believers,
fruition. Faith is a kind of regulator which
marks progress or regress. Whoever has faith
in lively and vigorous exercise, is growing
rapidly in every other Christian grace, and the
contrary is equally true.
It is very probable that it was a want of
faith in God that led Adam to transgress the
command of God, and all Adam's seed have,
in their unregenerated state, been ever since
without faith.
The absolute unselfishness of Christ *3
character is, indeed, its unique charm. His
own life is self-denial throughout, and he
makes a similar spirit the test of all healthy
religious life.

the European and American world was still
sufficient, to sustain the average prices of the
twenty years preceding 1873.
The recoil has come very quickly, and
| we are now brought face to face with the
I commercial world still under the darkenI
ing shadow of a gold famine. An improved
! condition in a single country failed to effect
any permanent relief over the wider area
of the civilized nations, and as metallic
prices throughout the world tend necessarily
to an equilibrium, this improved condition
in a single country has turned out itself to
j be temporary. Since January prices have
fallen here almost as rapidly as they had
risen, and they now distinctly tend to return
to the point from which they started.
Tiie Hours of Fate.?In the period be
tween midnight and six in the morning the
animal vital processes are at their lowest ebb.
j It is in these times that those who are enfeebled
from any cause most frequently die.
j Physicians often consider these hours as criti,
cal, and forewarn anxious friends in respect
to them. From time immemorial those who
have been accustomed to wait and attend on
the sick have noted these hours most anxiously,
so that they have been called by one of
our writers "the hours of fate." In this
space of time the influence of the life giving
sun has been longest withdrawn from man,
and the hearts that are even the strongest
beat then with subdued tone. Sleep is heaviest
and death is nearest to us all in the
"hours of fate."
Hope is like the wing of an angel, soar- 1
ing up to heaven, and bearing our prayers to
the throne of God.

REV. ROBERT LATHAN.
[Original.]
IN THE CHURCH.
It is a very sad tiling to see so many people
in Christian lands out of the Church. These
people seem to say, by their actions, that the
Church is a useless institution ; or, that so far
as they are concerned, it is of no use. Their
actions in this respect seem to say that either
God did not establish the Church, and hence
the Church is not the Church of God, or that
God, in establishing the Church here upon
earth, did a useless thing. This may not be,
in every instance, the language of their lips ;
but it is, or appears to be, the language of their
actions. Such persons are practical rejectors
of Jesus Christ, whatever they may be in theory.
The Church and Jesus Christ are insepably
connected.
It is most manifest that a profession of religion
will not?can not?save us ; but it may
well be questioned whether we can be saved
without making a profession of religion. Just
at this point the danger lies. The great majority
of those in Christian lands admit that
they must confess Christ before men or be lost.
Incited by this truth, but deluded by the Evil
One, they join the Church, and then and there
