Growth of Christianity. ^? Ir'^'The increase of Christian nations: is : therefore an important element of Chris .progress. But, whether we look ^"? the nation or the individual church organizations, one fact stands out prom |||p^?n?nt?y beyond all others ; and that is ?B$-;'-rM& accelerated growth of Christianity in our own tines. The most reliable estimates of~the progress of Christianity down to the Reformation are about as follows : : ' - Number. Increase. Advent of Christ_ -OOO -OOO |p>r%r~8econd century_. 2,000,000 2,000,000 ^-^?Ponrth century_ 10,000,000 3,000,000 li-Sixth century_...... 20,000,000 10,000,000 JEigbth cen tn ry ".- 30,000,000 10,000,000 Tenth century. 50,000,000 20,000,000 ; r~; Twelthrcentury_ 70,000,000 20,000;000 Fourteen th century.. 80,000,000 10,000,000 Kfteenth century.iOO,000,000 2o,000,000 flip * Here the laTgest increase for 200 |?| % years is about 20,000/000. Bat after r the Reformation the rate of progress was greatly accelerated. At the end of s *tbe first two centuries the number of nominal Christians had risen to 155, 000,000, an increase of 55,000,000; - and at the end of the next century ~ (1800) ithad gone up to 200,000.000, an increase of 45,000,000, or nearly as T-f much in 100 y ears as in the preceding I two hundred. But for the eighty years, - since 1800. the number has gone up to 410,000,000, so that the increase of these eighty years (210,000,000) es ?.. ceeds all the growth of the whole eigh? teen preceding centuries. A Poor Memory. Without question - the memory may be cultivated. The habit of attention is one of the first to be acquired in . . working towards this end ; but there .are other helps, such as the habit of or? der, and the advantage arising from ? proper classification, and last, but not least, the aid of the imagination, in "masing mental pictures. The grocer - and the apothecary knows the value of . order in their business ; the booksellers, too, with his thousaods of volumes ; see . him step to the place in his store where he knows the volume you are asking for should be ; he merely peaches forth his hand and takes it from the shelf. Watoh the type setter at his work ; you would think his fingers work automat? ically, as they take up from the box ar-1 . j-angement before him the exact letters j composing the words of his copy. Ob- j serve the fingers of the piano player;! as if endowed with entelligence or mern- j cry, the right key goes down at the proper time ; it matters not what the speed of the movement may demand, there is no hesitation. Now why can? not we accomplish with facts, figures , " and ideas what the type-setter accom rplisbed with his type, the pianist with bis keys. All that is necessary to do this is application and a determination to aucceed-r: : i The Conductor's Lamp. 'Bid you ever notice how the con ductor always holds his lamp to the ticket, and takes no pains whatever to inspect the passenger?* I asked cf ruy next neighbor in the car 'No Dot par? ticularly,' lie replied. 'What of it ? 'Only that the railroad is supposed to be dealing with men, and not a bit of colored pasteboard called a ticket.' He caught my meaning instantly ; for this was a favorite saying of his : '-I tell you, God deals with men, not with a little bit of theological scrip called faith ; and when the Almighty admits one to heav? en, he makes rigid inquiry about his character, and not about his faith.' He had repeated this remark so often in our discussions on justification by faith that it had become perfectly familiar to me, and I wished now to call it up for further consideration. Hence my question. ?Bu: why should not the conductor look at the man, and let the light shine ia his face, instead of giving so much attention to the ticket ?' I said press? ing my point. 'Because the ticket stands for the man,-' he ?replied, crusti? ly. 'Yes,* I answered. 'And faith stands for the man. The railroad car? ries only those who have paid their fare, and the ticket certifies to its payment, and*shows that the holder is right with the company-that he has done the righteous thing of complying with the cash conditions on which the corpora-] tio? acts.' 'That is true,' said my friend. 'Well,'I continued, 'God has made certain conditions of salvatiou, among-which are holiness, righteous? ness, and obedience. The first step toward heaven is obedience to God's commandments.' ' That is so F he ex? claimed with great emphasis, referring to my last remark, and added, 'A man must obey God and keep his command? ments before he can ever start on the way pf life. 'Well,' I continued, 'the Bible says, 'And this is his commandment, that we should believe on the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love ? one another.' Now. when a person sincerely and with the heart believes on Jesus Christ, and confesses him to be the Son of God, has he not taken the first step in obedience, and is it not right for the Lord to ac? cept this faith as a token of his sincerity, and to admit him into the company of those who are journeying heavenward ? j 'Provided he goes on m the right way,' .he replied, 'doi:ag right/and loving his neighbor.' 'Tes, so say I; faith with? out works is dead. We are justified by faith, and our faith is justified by our works. If we have a true faith, it will manifest itself in a growing and continuous exhibition of well-doing. But just as the ticket is'the pledgc^oj^a-. passenger's compliance wilbrTne terms of the railroad corporation, faith is the token of a man's cotisent to God's con? ditions of salvation. It is the first es- j ereise of obedience to be followed by the successive stages.' 'But is that all you imply by faith V continued my friend. 'Oh, no indeed. Faithis^fJwii I acceptance of God's pledgeanjj^fovision of eternal life. TJ^?WriTnot simply a pass; itj^r^seal of.a covenant. So sooo-aifthe traveler has the pledge of the company of his life and protection. He has now intrusted himself to their keeping. So faith is an act of obedience to the gospel ; but it is especially an act of committal and intrusting of our _sou.ls_tp th.e JLprd.. .our . Sa viour. Thc poorest beggar is as safe as the million? aire under the shelter of that little bit of paper called a ticket. The man that has proffered his faith to Christ, great sinner or small, is equally" safe.' Just then our station was called and we hurried out with our valises, I med? itating as I passed on - the aptness of things natural to illustrate things spiri? tual, and ?ay friend" saying, 'Welt, it may not be so unreasonable as I had thought-this doctrine of salvation by j faith.'-The Watchman. mg-? t I i ?- .i There is a Messing attending the ministry of mercy. Faith and hope cure more diseases than medicine. Money and time are the heaviest burdens of life, and the unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know how to use. Don't think there is something radi? cally wrong about the world because it don't run according to your notion. There arc thousands who think the same. In order to have any success in life, or any worthy success, you must resolve to carry*into your work a fulness of knowledge-not merely a sufficiency but more than a sufficiency. No man ever took hold of a godly life as men take hold of a secular life, and fellowed it up with such persistence as men employed in a secular life, that he did not, by augmenting knowledge and progressive steps, rise to tHe realm i of spirituality in religion. When men in high places stoop to j association with vice and crime they | cannot espect to remain untainted ; of- ? ten, to save themselves, they seek to fasten their guilt upon the innocent, but deception is a tangled, as well as dangerous, web, and sooner or later its votaries are caught in their own foul ! meshes. One perfect diamond is more valua- j ble thau many defective ones. One I truth well fixed in the mind and com- ? prebended is better than many half un- j derstood. A small opportunity fully j realized is better than a great one mis- ! improved. The wealth of affectionate ! sympathy and aid is better thau gold, ? and fills the soul with most perfect ! peace. Faithfulness lays up treasures j in the heavens which uothiug can injure j and no one remove. j ? l>ad rather, as a forgiven child, with all thc prospects of the future I opened up unto me, wear the crown j ~ ?rchased by the redeemiug love of Christ, than that which is worn by the Unf?llen angels, because the blessings of a divine atonement, through a diviue incarnation, secured to the soul in har- j mony with the condition of the gospel, j reveals the character of God iu a way : impossible to be m;:de known to tho?:: I who bad complied with all that the law j demands: and this places thc sinner, ! penitent and forgiveu, upon a platform of experience and personal relationship ? to God, of a na'ure so peculiar and so I extraordinary as to throw all other j stars, glittering never so brightly in j the heavenly firmanent, into compara- ! tive obscurity, contrasted with the ex- ' ceptional brilliancy of the state which ? involves the strange anomaly of justice j and mercy joined together, thc law sus? tained and the sinner saved,-Bev. Philips Brooks. m v v Why Booth Killed Lincoln.. A story is going the rounds of the newspapers, setting forth in detail the reason why John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln. It will be remembered that one Maj. C. H. Cole, of the 5th Tennesee Regiment, was the leading spirit in a plot, in 1864, to release some 20.00G Confederate prisoners confined in Chicago, Columbus and Sandusty. Also that one J. Y. Beale, Cole's second officer, was his intimate friend and accomplice in the work. Through a betrayal of one Col. Johnson of- Ken? tucky, the whole plan was frustrated; Cole was arrested, and while on bis way to Fort Lafayette, in New York harbor, Beale endeavored to rescue him. He tried to wreck the train which he ha l taken on the Lake Shore Railroad, but it proved to be the wrong one. Beale was then captured tried, sentenced to be hanged, and did suf? fer the death" penalty on Governor's Island. It is explained by those who pro? fess to know that the execution of Beale caused the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. J. Y. Beale was from Jeffer? son County, West Virginia but a short distance from Washington, where many of his relatives now live. He was the intimate friend of Johu Wilkes Booth. When Beale was sentenced to death Booth made a powerful attempt to save his life. He enlisted all the eminent men he possibly could to aid him in his efforts, but there seemed no hope of success. As a lastresort .be begged his influential friends to secure him an audience with President Lincoln. Quite a number of them consented to do so, among whom was the late Col* John M. Forney. The audience was granted a short time before Beale was to be hung, and Booth made a plea for his life, which moved Mr. Lincoln to tears. The good-hearted President would doubtless have com? muted Beale's sentence after the occur? rence of that night, but Secretary Stan? ton said : 'There has been too much leniency in dealing with these fellows. Cole's sentence has "been commuted. The law ought to take its course on Beale's case.' It did and Beale was hung. Booth's failure to save the life of his friend is said to have so preyed upou his mind that it gradually .worked him up to the poiut of assassinating thc President. Disease is an effect, cot a cause. Its origin is within ; its manifestations without. Hence, la cure the the disease the cause must be re? moved, und in no other way can a cure ever be efifected. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE is established on just this principle, lt realizes that 95 Per Cent. of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys and liver, and it strikes at once at ihe root of tue difficulty. The elements of which it is composed act directly upon those great organs, botb as a food and restorer, and, by placing them in a healthy condition, drive disease and pain from thesystem. For the ionamerable troubles caused by un? healthy Kidueys, Liver and Urinary Organs; for the distiessiog Disorders of Women ; for Malaria, and for ph3'sical derangements gen? erally, this great remedy has no equal. Be? ware of imposters, imitations and concoctions said to be just as good. For Diabetes, ask for WARNER'S SAFE DIABETES CURE. For sale by all dealers. H. H. WARNER & CO., Rochester, N. F. D. BALDING.

Tlje drunkard drinks liquor not because he likes "it, but for the pleasure of drinking and treating his friends, little thinking that he is on his road to ruin. Like the Opium Eater, he first uses the drug in small quantities as a harmless anti? dote. The soothing influence of the drug takes strong hold upon its victim, leading him on- to bis own destruction. The habits of Opium Eating and Liquor Drinking are pre? cisely what eating is to aliment!veness, as over-eating first inflames the stomach, which redoubles its cravings until it paralyzes both the stomach and appetite. So every drink of liquor or dose of opium, instead of satisfying, only adds to its fierce fires, until it consumes the vital force and then itself. Like the glut? tonous tapeworm, it cries "Give, give, give !" but never enough until its o'wn rapacity de? vours itself. Samaritan Nervine gives instant relief in all- such cases. It produces sleep, quiets the nerves, builds up the nervous sys? tem, and restores body and mind to a healthy condition. "_s---r-- .
