LAW or
Ill our warfaro with tho adversaries
of tho uospel anil with tho growing
evils ofour time, wo have imperfectly
usetl many instrumentalities within
our reach . out among them all notio
has been ho much neglected as tho
family. Wc have, worked for and
through tho church. Our caro has
been for the iudividual or for tociety
as an aggregato of individuals
or for tho stato as representing tho
order ot society. Moanwhilo tho fam
ily has been so loosely guarded that
our hold upen it had been enfeebled
and its Cluihtian tono has degenerated.
As the nticinal mould m which all
human lifo is cast, and within which
authority blending with lovo first
touches tho will arid lays tho founda
tion of character, tho family, not tho
individual, is tho true unit of society
and of tho chutcli. As such both reas
on and n vt'lation require us to treat
it. Unfrituuatcly for it nnd for the
church and tho nation, wo havu done
so. Overmastered or beguiled by tho
spirit of tho ago wo havo drifted out
passively on tho current ot individual-
iam, until wo aro now called to face
tho consequence of a wrong theory
ami a worse practico touching tho very
sourcn of tho strongest formative ele
ments of tho chursh and ot the state.
1'AI.SK VIEWS 01' JIAIUIIAOU,
That household reliuion and moral
ity havo changed, and aro still chang
ing for tho worse, is recognized by all
Christian peoplo as ono of tho dark
omens of tho time. Tho causes are
not far to seek. Two theories starting
from opposite premises, but both alike
thu product of tho anli-tJuristian and
secular tendency of tho day, havo been
eating liko moth and rust into tho
domestic conscience, and thus sapping
tho very foundations ot homo llto.
Tho ono theory declares tho individual
to bo the supiemu unit ot society, and
so demands for every individual com
plelo ami equal freedom. It alhrms
all discriminating legislation based
upon differences of sex to bo degrad
ing and tyrannical. It teaches that, as
tho ouly ground of marriago is the con
sent of tho contracting parties, so tho
continuanco of marriage is rightfully
ilt pendent on tho continuance ot mu
toil agreement. It declares that auy
other view of inaniago converts it into
.i i i i . i
mo worst, uotuitgo Known to our law
Admitting no power or privileges or
disability in ono tex rot common to
the other, and claiming lor woman an
absoluto control over her patrimony
anJ acquisitions, as will as over her

The other theory an outgrowth of

freedom ot tho contracting parties to

upon the inherent subject matter of

unlimited facility of divorco. Hoth
theories loosed tho ligaments and cor

THE FAMILY THE SOCIAL UNIT.
Verilv thcro is a cry on tho earth, in
thn i.ir, and from tho heavens, to work
whilo it is called to-day, before tho
light cometh wherein no man can
work. Fellow laborers with Christ, it
is well that wo seo clearly on what
lines wo aro to work in His name, and
how wo aro to wield tho power of
His truth and tho grace of llis king
dom. Society at large, tho state, tho
church, aro indeed to bo tho objects of
our Bolicitude. Iti nnd through tho
church wo aro to leaven all lifo with
tho incarnate word. But just now bo
causo of past neglect of its claims and
ot its satc-guards, as well as becauso
of its inmost hold upon all that lies
beyond it, whether society or tho
church, our first and most urgent call
is to caro for tho family, and to build
up anew on tho foundations origin
ally built of God and consecrated by
tho Saviour of men. To this end these
aro the things wo aro to do. In oppo
sition to tho false theories concerning
tho relation of tho sexes and tho nature
of tho marriago bond, tho peoplo of
uod must be taught, as '.hoy havo not
neon, that tho lamiiy, not tho, lndivi-
iual, ;s tho unit ot society, and that
tho family creates tho state,rather than
tho stato the family. Without citizens
there can bo no state, and without fam
ily there can bo no citizens. Tho law
of tho household mnst determine, not
bo determined by, legislation of tho
state which nfTects tho well-being of
tho family, tho essentials ot domes
tic life havo been ordained and estab
lished by tho will of God, and underlie
the constitution of society. These it
is tho function of civil government to
protect and regulate, but not to change.
CHU1STIAV KOUUATION.
tgain, parents aro responsible to
God tirst, and to the stato afterward,
for their children J hero must bo
authority in tho household commensur
alo with this responsibility, and neither
church nor state may rightly or safely
interfere with that authority or with
tho responsibility bound up with it.
ttow tar trio stato has done so, and
with what results, it docs not fall with
in our province to inquire. But of
the chuiuh's action in this regard it is
our duty to speak. It lias been her
purpose in all tho agencies sho has
sanctioned for tho religious training of
her children to provide helps, not sub
stilutcs, tor fathors and mothers m
tho foremost task which God has laid
upon them. That these helps havo
ceased to bo what they were intended
to bo and have become something else,
thereby devolving upon others outsido
thu homo tho work which God moans
shall ue done inside tho home, very
largely explains the wide-spread decay
of domestto rellglou and morality now
so pregnant with disaster to tli6 church
and to tho nation. To stop this decay.
to plant again in the old souls of homo
tho germs of a healthier growth, to ro
store the family to tho divino orbit of
its power, to, readjust on the old basis
its l elation lo tho ohuroh and to the
stato, Is by every consideration tho
most pressing problem of tho day.

problem, tho tnno has como when tho

Stories Told of dough.
SOME AMUS1NO EXl'ErtlENCES OP THE I'Ol'-
UI.AIl OltATOH RELATED UY IIIMSEM'.
Tho lato John 13. Gough told a story
as well in private as in public, says a
writer in the Philadelphia Timet.
Tho following nro remembered nmong
sonio of tho experiences ho used to ro-
lato : "Un ono occasion," ho said, "1
had mtdo an appointment in a small
town in Massachusetts nnd rodo seven
miles to fill it. On arriving at tho
church as tho peoplo wero assembling
I found no ono to receive me. I asken
a middlo-agcd ritstto if ho could toll mo
whero I could find tho president of the
tcmperanco society.
" 'L reckon I'm him," ho replied, la
conically.
Ah I well, my namo is Uough, 1
said.
Wall, I calkilato it's about timo to
skin in.'
In wo went, and I sat in a pew un
til ho camo to mo and said : '1 guess
its timo to begin.'
" Is thero any ono to offer prayer T I
asked.
" 'No ; tho parson's away.'
" 'Is thero no deacon V
" 'I 'spect I'm a deacon.'
" 'Well, can't you pray t"
" 'No ; I reckon I speak in tho meet-
"As I passod into tho pulpit ho stood
beneath it and called out to tho audi-
enoo : 'Mr. Gough is in do desk an' he's
a-gwine to lectur.
"I preceded to 'lecture as well as I
could, and when 1 had finished and
taken my seat at the back of tho plat
form my agricultural friend callod out
from below : 'We will now purocod to
tako up a collection for the benefit, of
the lactooror.' Ho then 'purcoeded to
pass his hat around among tho people,
who had begun to ratndly ioavo tho
church as soon as they heard tho omin
ous word collection. When ho had
oompletcd his task ho dumped upon
the tablo in front ot the pulpit tho con
tonts of his tile and, shaking tho lining
said to mo ; -Thar I That 'ere is all
for you. I ain't a-gwino to tako nothin'
out for tho lights.
'The amount did not exceed sl."0
" 'I do not want it,' I said.
" 'Wall, I swow ! Yer don't want all
that money?'
" 'No.'
" 'Wall, then, I reokon I'll tako it,'
and suiting the action to tho word ho
swept tho money into his hat, placed it
on his head and walked oft without an
other word, leaving me to enjoy a
hearty laugh as tho only reoompenso
for my night's work.
"In ono of tho first towns of which
I spoko outside of Worchester I labor
ed for throe ovenings, and was told by
tho committee at tho conclusion of my
last address that thoy had no funds in
treasury and did not liko to tako up a
collection, but that if I would como
again and give throo more lectures I
would be liberally paid. 1 consented
and shortly afterward begati my other
course of three lectures. At tho ter
mination of the second ono a gentle
man aroso and said that as Mr. Sough
had not been paid on tho occasion of
his previous visit to that town, he sug
i gested that a collection bo taken up for
tho piirposo ot remunerating him.
"'1 object to collections, said another
gentleman ; 'but if wo must havo ono
let it bo to-morrow night, when we will
all oomo prepared.
'1 ho third evening was very rainv
and a collection amounting to $1.80
was taken up. A gontloman near tho
tablo remarked when tho monev was
counted: 'Tho amount is very small
I do not mind making it up to S2 out
of my own pocket, for tho laborer is
worthy of his hire, nnd he very em
phatically laid down two silver dimes.
I refused to take 2 for six days work,
d,,rInK wllioh personal expenses had
been 83, and departed. The next day
1 received from three liquor-sellers a
$5 bill enclosed in a letter, in which
thoy said that they thought I had
worked hard enough to bo bettor paid.
"Unco ntter lecturing at oonsidcrablo
persona oxpenso in a town somo dis
tauco from Worcester, where I expect
ed a remuneration at least suiliciont to
roimburso me, I was merely tendered a
voto of thanks. I arose and requested
that tho vote should bo put in writing,
as perhaps the conductor on tho tram
would accopt it for ray fare. Tho
oommittoe took the hint nnd a liberal
collection was thon taken up for me.

WEST WHAT IS TIIEltL IN IT 1
Uumors to tho effect that tho Lo
high Valley Railroad company intend
ed to build a lino from Ashland to
Pittsburg have been revived again,and
this time seem to have some degree of
verification from railroad authorities.
Tho new route is chartered under tho
namo of tho Seabroad and Atlantic
railroad, and ono of its advantages over
all other routes is that it can bo built
without a tunnel. Tho programme was
that if the South Pennsylvania railroad
wero not to build thoso interested in
that scheme would join tho Lehigh
Valloy in building tho route from Ash
land, but it is now stated that tho Le
high Valloy peoplo have louiid others
who will join them, and that tho road
will certninly bo built, even without
help from tho South Pennsylvania cap
italists. A promineut railroad official
states that tho harmonious relations
which havo existed between tho Penn
sylvania and Lehigh Valley railroad
companies have btcomo strained, ana
that tho Lehigh Valley docs not liko
the idea of the former coming into its
anthracito coal territory, aud will build
thn lino to Pittsburg to put tho Penn
sylvania upon its good behavior in tho
anthracito regions. Robert II. Sayre,
second vicu president of tho Lehigh
Valloy , and who was also president of
tho South Pennsylvania Hailroad com
pany, is declared to bo very aggressivo,
and has been determined foi somo timo
to havo another routo to Pittsburgh
from Philadelphia. The officials of
the Lehigh Valloy Railroad company
profess to know nothing of the plan.
