Good works will neve' s e ,ma, *j if a man bave not g4oa Noas he n no real faith and no gei:: e regin.' v There are those w ho depend t pou the fact that the) are ah r'ght inide, wh: le their conduct is wrong out.ie. iheir religion, for the most part, is made up I of talk-vigorous talIk, fluent talk, boastful talk, perpetual talk. They will entertain you by the hour in tell- b ing you how good they are. They come l up to such a higher life that they have h no patience with ordinary Christians f in the plaiu discharge of their duty. b Now, the world has got tired of this, a and it wants a religion that will worK m into all the circumstances of life. W\e do not want a new reiigion, but the old religion applied in all possible direc- v tions. s Yonderis a river with steep and v rocky banks, and it roars likea young Niagara as it rolls on over its rough bed. It does nothing but talk about 0 itself all the way from its source in the v mountain to the place where it empties a into the sea. The banks are so steep v the cattle cannot come down to drink. d It does not run one fertilizing rill into i! the adjoining field. It has not one d grist mill or factory on either side. It s sulks in wet weather with chilling a fogs. No one cares when that river is b born among the rocks, and no one cares b when it dies into the sea. But yonder b Js another river, and it mosses its banks 0 With the warm tides, and its rocks with b floral lullaby the water.lllies asleep on its bosom. It invites herds of cattle t and flocks of sheep and coveys of birds d to come there and drink. It has three C grist mills on one side and six cotton p factories on the other. It is the wealth p of 200 miles of luxuriant farms. The -birds of heaven chanted when it was a born in the mountains, and the ocean v shipping will press in from the sea to u bail it as it comes down to the Atlantic o coast. The one river is a man who o lives for himself. The other river is a i man who lives for others. t Do you know how the site of the an- c, cent city of Jerusalem was chosen? d There were two brothers who had ad- t, joining farms. The one brother had a o large family, the other had no family. i The brother with a large family said:a "There is my brother with no family, he must be lonely, and I will try to a cheer him up, and 1 will take some of the sheaves from my field in the night- c time and set them over on his farm, and f say nothing about it" The other t brother saia: "My brother has a largei family, and it is very difficult for him o tosupport them; and 1 will help him e along, and I will take some or, the aheaves from my farm in the night- g tim se et he r on hm 1arm. and say nothing about it." So the wo-'-: a of transferen - went on night after i ight, but eve morning thiugs seem ed to be just as they were, for though sheaves had been sutitracted from eacha I-farm, sheaves had also been added, and h the brothers were perplexe d and cotud ti m~t understand. But one night thea ybrothers happened to meet while mnag ing this generous transference, ar-d the e sp~ ot where they met was so sacred thatt k it was chosen as the site of the city of S erJusalem. if that tradition should a' proze unfounded, it will nevertheless p >stand as a beautiful allegory setting h: forth the idea that where zer a kindly ? an eerous and .loving act is per omethat is the spot fit for some I temple of commemoration. 1f Ihave often spoken to you about s: aith,. but now I speak to you about a orks, for "faith without works is t dead." I think you will agree with me c in the statement that the great want of f Sthis-world is more practical religion. c 'We want practical religion to go into r .lmerchandise. It will supervise the t aelling of goods. It will not allow a c Sman to say that a thing was made in c one factory when it was made in anoth- b e. It will not allow the merchant to h say that watch was manufactured in f Geneva, Switzerland, when it was m~um- e ufactured in Massachusetts. It will a e.nt allow the merchant to say that c; wne came from Madeira when it came u frm California. Practical religion t< will walk along by the store shelves rn and tear off all the tags that make mis- ci representation. It will not allow the tl merchant to say that is pure coffee, ti when dandelion root and chiccory and ti other ingredients go into it. It will b mot allow hinm to say that is pure su- fi gar, when there are- in it sand and h ground glass. s Whhen practical religion gets its full f Iwing in the world, it will go down the d streets, and it will come to that shoe y store and rip off the fictitious soles of I: many a fine-looking pair of shoes, and I show that it is pasteboard sandwiched e: between the sound leather. And this tl practical religion will go right into a et ...~cry store, and it will pull out the f3 -lg'fl*h adulterated syrups, and I: it will dump into the ash-barrel, in n front of the store, the cassia bark that is sold for cinnamon and the brick dust n that is sold for cayenne pepper; and it v will shake out the Prussian blues from st the tea leaves, and it will sif t ?rom the p flour plaster of Paris and bonedust and ti aoapstone,anid it will by ct-enical analy- t sis separate the one quart of Ridigewood. h water from the few bonest drops of b~ cow's milk, and it will throw out the eC live anialcules from the brown su- 0 There has been so much adulteration i of articles of food that it is an amaze- . ment to me that there is a healthy man or woman in America.

Sent o t to the Wrong Man. -- Recently Our Monthly, published at r.. the Thornwell Orphanage, and edite i by Rev. W. P. Jacobs. commented as follows on a circular it received from a distillery: A company calling itself "The Old Elit Whiskey Company," has sent us its card anld1 prospectus. For once a e ycompany has selected a suita bename. "Old Nick" is a nickname of th devil. If ever the devil went into usiness on earth. we have not the least doubt it would be into a liciuor distillery or liquor shop c some knd What surprises us is that these whiskey people acknowvledge their silent part nr in such an unreserved way. The circular of this company is a curiosity. Its business is to make peo pie disreputable, and yet it brags that ten railroad presidents, thirty bank presidents, seventy railroad superin-t tendents, six ex-Governors, one hin dred and fity prominent lawyers, and many other honorable men, are amon its customers. We arc glad this "Old t Nick Co." does not claii any preachers t in the list. It fails also to state how many criminals it has made, how many - orphans, how many widows, and so on. The record would be interesting. One hundred and twenty-two years of b .si ness ought to foot up qimte a handsome statistical table. Another peculiarity about the Old Nick Co. is its temperance principles. to "Men and brethren," it pathetically o. exclaims. "stop now the use of this North.ern and Western adulterated whiskey before von injure yourself nd youir family for life." Splendid I reachng that, if calm it had added, "and don't you taper with or stun ether, lest you ti your souls to ever."

C., Feb. 17.-A distress ing ar-tident befell the West bound freight on the Chester and Lenoir Rail road three miles this side of Newto 1 y esterday evening about 4 o'clock. The train left Chester on time with Engin eer shannon in the cab. When the train reached the scene of the disaster the en tire crew consisted of about a dozen persons. In crossing Smyres trestle, spanning a small stream, the suppositi on is that .Engineer Shannon felt the. track giving and opened wide the thirot tie in order to reach the opposite side before the crash. The engine only pass ed over safely, while the tender, three or four box car's and a passenger coach veit down in a horrifying heap. Dr. S. . Davega, the railroad pihysician or $ this place, was summoned to the scene and returned this afternoon. IHis ac count is a thrilling one. W\hen he reach-3 ed the spot a scene ot horror was present e. ie found that Flagman Willie Iloss of this County' was killed outright, being mangled beyond recogit ion. Two color - ed brakemen wer*e also crushed to death. Engineer Shannon wvas thirowvn in a bank, of soft mud, and is appearently unhurt. but is too dazed by tiie frighitful occur rence to tell an intelligible story. .Johni Igg, the lireman, had ani arm cut olI~ .~ his leg shattered and his skuall fractured. , lev. 3l.
