PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY,
In Christ's description of the last judgment
we find nbt a word concerning the belief
which guides an action, but teeming para
graphs concerning the actions themselves.
He is silent as to the intelleetualities, so to
speak, of religion ; but vivid and pungent
respecting the deeds of religion. The vigor
and. sweep of his utterances labor to express
themselves in such words as these :—" Come,
ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom :
For I was ahungered, and ye gave me meat;
I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink ;I was a
stranger, and ye took me - in ; naked, and ye
clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me ; I
was in prison, and ye came unto me. Verily,
I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto me."
We would, by no means, have it inferred
that the intellectualities oereligion are unim
portant; but would only guard against that
tendency in the minds of some which elevates
theology above practice, and which does not
deem those organizations that abound in the
practice of religion to be as Christian and as
praiseworthy as those which teach the intel
lectualities of religion. Giving a man direc
tions how he shall thread his way across the
vast plains to the Pacific, is one' thing, and an
important thing; but dotting those plains
with " homes,' where he shall find lodging,
food, rest, and clothing, is, to say the least,
quite as important and quite as Christian.
These thoughts were suggested by the
numbers of lodgings and meals that were
given to the men who are fighting the fierce
battles of God's truth by the Sanitary Com
mission in its " Soldiers' Homes" at Louis
ville andi Camp Nelson,Ky.; Jeffersonville
and New Albany, Ind. ; Cairo 111. ; Nashville
and Memphis, Tenn., and New Orleans, La.

The soldies of our armies have come to
these homes in all conditions of health or
sickness;, of hunger, thirst, or raiment ; of
all nativities, languages, and complexions ;
enlisted under the baniier , of every State,
yet fighting under the Broad standard of all
the States ; and whether near the Gulf of
Mexico, upon the banks of the Mississippi,
the Cumberland, or the Ohio, or on the hills
trod by Daniel Boone, have been fed; have
been put to sleep in lean beds; have been
clad, when clothing was necessary ; have had
their wounds.dressed, or their brows bathed
s the interminable hours of a feverish night
agged by; have been transported to the
.roper depots forwarded on their way to an
ther "home , '' thence to another, and finally
their friends ; while couriers have been
.nt in charge of the sickest, and money has
:en furnished the neediest. Is such a work
" Christian," in the sight of the full
: earted Father, as is the distribution of'
n acts?
Between twenty and thirty Soldiers' Homes,
+laced by the Sanitary Commission all over
ie land, from North to South, and West to
ast, at centres where they are mot needed,
re in daily and nightly operation.
By these seven, we find that in October
052 lodgings were given each night, and
.356 meals each day. In. November, 2423
odgings were given each night, and 7187
eals were given each day.
Al this ratio, these seven homes furnish,
one year, 805,042 lodgings, and 2,437,728
eals.
How many lodgings and meals have been
liven by all the homes during the past year
,annot now be stated; but the aggregates are
arge.
Arrangements are being perfected by which
e Bulletin, and Reporter will be able to make
onthly publications of these and similar
acts. And when the public does know all
hat is being done by the people through the
nited States Sanitary Commission we shall
I ear fewer objections concerning its manage,

From the Economist, Nov. 26, 1864.
SEWING MACHINES.
Blessed in the memo,— n f all true housewives
will ever be the inveth ;• of the sewing ma
chine. He is a univei 5...1 benefactor, who
has made easy, pleasant and an hundred fold
profitable one of the most important duties
of woman—to sew. He also has added lustre
to the dignity of labor. Once ladies "gave
out" their sewing to the seamstress and
dress-maker, and few since the days of our
grandmothers, were seen with the needle in
hand either 'mending or making up a gar
ment. But now the handsomest ornament
of a ,loom is the rosewood or walnut-cased
sewing machine, and the prettiest adornment
of it is the charming face and snomj , fingers
of the " lady of the house," or her daughter
busy
c at the wheel, braiding, embroidering
and running the breadths" on a new dress.
The choice of a machine in this day of new
patents and multiplied improvements is a
question of great importance, and to many,
very difficult of . settlement. Every patent
has its excellencies, and each wellgstablished
firm puts in claim for advantages in their pe
culiar machine, possessed over all competi
tors, and indeed in. , ,must be admitted that
some of the more prominent are worthy the
patronage they receive, and well adapted to
the purposes of the invention.
But for a real, genuine, family machine, a
time saver, thread saver, labor saver, the
women of our house say, " Give us the
Wilcox and Gibbs." When it had been in
the house a couple of weeks, " the girls"
fairly got enthusiastic over it, and we didn't
know but it would prove the dearest, instead
of the cheapest in the market, for they were
"runnnig the machine" all day, without re
gard to cost, while cotton kept at 18a20c. a
spool.
The superiority of this machine is very ap
parent on a practical test. Its simplicity is,
a chief recommendation. An intelligent Miss
of fourteen can comprehend the whole modus
operandi, and work it in two hours. It is an
objection to most of the machines of other
patents, that they require so much time and
skill to learn to operate on them. After the
practice of months, or at least weeks, a lady
ofperseverance may attain something ofpro
ficiency in the use of one of them, but Wil
cox & Gibbs is so simple in its arrangement,
and the movement is so exceedingly easy,...,
that there is no difficulty in any person desi
rous of doing so, becoming expert in the use
of it in a very short time.
It is next to an impossibility for this ma
chine to get out of order. This is no small
merit, for a machine that .ever gets out of
order is always sure. to be so, just at a time
when we can ill afford to be without its as
sistance. This machine will turn only one
way, and a new beginner is, therefore, re
lieved from the annoyance of breaking
needles and tangling thread, incident to all
other machines.
It is a standing objection to most other
machines that "they make too much noise;"
the baby can't sleep, and the folks can't talk,
while the operators' ears are filled with the
rapid click, click, click of the wheel and shut
tle for hours after she has ceased her work.
Wilcox & Gibbs, is a perfect cure-all for this
nuisance ; so noiseless is it, that a babe can
sleep in the cradle close by the machine,_ and
the sound of the movement is not heard
across the room.
it uses thread from the original spool, thus
saving the time and labor of spooling off con
tinually to supply the bobbins. Its stitch is
a single thread, which is an advantage, ma
king a great saving in cotton, while its com
pactness renders it stronger than the fabric
it sews together ; which is all that can be
desired of either a double or single stitch.
On the whole, we are constrained, after close
observation of the workings of different ma
chines for more than a year, to award the
palm of superiority to Messrs. Wilcox &
(xibbs, for the most complete article in all its
parts, and perfect in its operations,—a family
machine, adapted to sewing any number of
thicknesses from one to twenty folds of sheet
ing muslin.
