Text: "These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also."? Acts xvli., U. There is a wild. hellowiug mob around the house of Jason, in Thessalonica. What Mas the man done so greatly to offend the people? He has been entertaining Paul and his comrades. The mob surround the house and cry: "tiring out those turbulent preachers! They are interfering with our business! They are ruining our religion! They are actually turning the world upside down!" The charge was true, for there is nothing that so interferes with sin, there is .... i ... .... i uviiiiiiK ."1? i uiiium IU cvurjr lunn ??i U31IIUlishcd iniquity, ther? is nothing thnt has such tendency to turn thu world upside down us our glorious Christianity. Tito fact Is, tlint thu world uow is wrong side up, and it needs to be turned upside down in order that it may bo right side up. The tim-j was when men wrote books entitling them "Apologies for Christianity." I hope that day has passed. We want no* more apologies for Christianity. Let the apologies bo on t he part of those who do not believe in our religion. We do not mean to make any compromise in the mat- j tor. We do not wish to hide the fact that Christianity is revolutionary, and that its tendency is to turn the world upside down. Our religion has often been misrepre- j seated as a principle of tears, and mild- j uess, and fastidiousness: afraid of crossing people's prejudices; afraid of making I somebody mad; with silken gloves, lifting i the people up from the church pew into I glory, as though they were Bohemian ; glass, so very delicate that with ono touch i it may be demolished forever. Men speak 1 of religion as though it were a relined tin - I hecilify; as though it wore a spiritual I chloroform, that the people were to ! take until tho slmrp cutting of life were | over. The Bible, so far from this, repre- | seals the religion of Christ as robust and brawny runsueking mid upsetting ten | thousand things that now seein to be settled on lirm foundations. I hear some j man in the house say. "I thought religion j was peace." That is I lie llnal result. A i man's arm is out of place. Two men come, | and with great effort put it hack to the ' socket. It goes back with great pain. Then it gets well. Our world is horribly distorted and out of joint, it must eome under an omnipotent surgery, beneath which ther** will be pain and anguish before there an conic perfect health and i quiet. I proclaim, therefore, in the name of inv Lord Jesus Christ?revolution! The religion of tin* Bible will make a r i?V * 11 11 t ifiii in tin* Tlinuo 4liltwv?j I that are wrong in tln> family circle will bo overthrown by it. wliil<* justice and harmony will tnko tho place. The husband will be the head of tho houeshold only when ho is lit to be. I know a man who spends all the money lie makes in drink, us well as all ilie money that his wife makes, and sometimes sells the children's clothes for rum. Do you tell me that he is to lie the head of that household? If tho wife have more nobility, inor nirage. nioro consistency, more of all that is right, she shall have the supremacy. You say that ! the llililo says that the wife is to be subject to the husband. I know it. lint that is a husband, not a masculine caricature. There is no human or divino law that makes a woman subordinate to a man unworthy of her. When Christianity comes Into a domestic circle it will givo the doininancy to that ono who is tho most worthy of it. Again: ClucUJJ unity will produce, ft.d1*Tfy merchants, and you tlnd that they have llfty standards of what Is right and wrong. You say to some ono about a merchant, "Is lie liouest?" "Oli! yes," tho man says, "ho is honest: but lie grinds the faces of his clerks. He is honest; but he exaggerates the value of his goods. He is honest; but lie loans money on bond and mortgage, i with tho understanding that tho mortgage can lie quiet for ten years, but as soon as j ho gets tho mortgage, lie records it and ; begins a foreclosure suit, and tho Sheriff's ! writ comes down, and the day of sale ar- i rives, and away goes the homestead, and 1 ?... . .. .iiiui imv.t u in 111 mill price."

A ltullet Its Own Doctor. In spito of tlif terrildo increase in the destructivoness of modern warfare, the tendency of the times is to make a conflict as humane as practicable.

The land of Hie Lazy. "In a late sojourn in Honduras," said Mr. I.. I), fi I vons. "I came to the conclusion that it was a paradise for lazy men. Everything grows luxuriantly with but little labor on the part of the natives, and many crops do not need replanting more than once in eight or ten years. The country offers line inducements to enterprising men, but it is bard on a white man used to civilized ways to go down there and dwell among an ignorant lot of natives who are 100 years behind tho times. A man would have no congenial society, and might as well be in exile. The natives usually live in bamboo Iioums, though in the towns the dwellings are of adobe. Children go naked for the llrst two or three years of their life, and the attire of the adults is rather scant. The Government is liberal with concessions in order to encourage development of tho country's resources, lint there is no general rule governing the granting of privileges, it all depends on how good a bargain may lie driven. The climate is very salubrious, and laziness is nhout tho only prevailing disease. Washington Post. EX-CONVICT CANNOT CURE. Doctors Wlio Commit Crime I'rolilliitcd |''rom I'rHcticiiig.

When Napoleon was in frgypt and a great battle was impending, he made a speech to his army and said: Soldiers, forty centuries are looking down upon you from the heights of those pyramids.

When the preac hers put on tliei j war paint 1 reckon it is no harm for th i laymen aud tho sinners to fight. W remember that in tho last war th preachers, both North and South, wer more belligerent than any other clas3 They dident do much fighting, but the; went along and eneournged the boy aud pruyed for them and nursed th j sick aud thewouuded and showed thei j faith by their works, but some of tlien , were awfully mistaken about whic i side the Lord was ou, or what wero Hi J great designs. I "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform. Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter And He will make it plain. " The preachers are just human lik other people und subject to like pan sions aud prejudices. 1 remember thu j just before Georgia seceded our Bom | preachers could hardly maintain thei Christian serenity in the pulpit or ou of it, and one of them, an eloquent an gifted man whom the whole communit I * w?Mtir>d,' 'touk frrr hi text the twentieth verse of the socon chapter of Joel: "I will remove fa from you the northern army and wil drive him into a land barren and dene late, with his face toward the east ee and hia j hinder part toward the utmot sea, and his stink shall come up and hi ill savor shall como up, for he hat magnified to do great things. "Fear not, oh laud! be glad and rt joict, for the Lord will do grente things." I tell you he made it fit our case lik a prophetic prediction, and we couh see the Ynukees living from our valiau troops and driven to their utmost bor ders and scattered from the Pncifi ocean to Plymouth Hock uud perish iug to death all uloug the liuo for lue of provisions, and nobody left to bur them. At tlio same time Ileury War Beecher was breathing out threatening and slaughter from lus Brooklyn puipi and declaring thuttho Almighty's ham was on their side and within a fe\ mouths would wreak his vongenuc upon the slave holder and set the bond men free. And the editors knew 110th ing at last. I tell you, my brethren that preachers aud editors are jutt hu man like tho rest of us, uad the worli will never have a fair chance to ge even with them until every man iius i pulpit and u newspaper of his own.
