UNION SABBATH SCHOOL CONVENTICN
AT WARRIOREMARK.-The first meeting of the
Warriorsmark and Franklin township Sabbath
School Association was held in the M. E.
Church, in Warriorsmark,
.on Tuesday and
Wednesday, January 2d and 3d, 1872. The
Convention was called to order at 10 o'clock,
by the Rev. D. Castleman, who, after reading
a portion of scripture, singing and prayer,
briefly stated the object of assembling togeth
er in Convention, of the great work to do, and
trusting that the spirit of the Master might be
with us. The following officers were then
elected :
President, G. W. Owens, of Birmingham ;
Secretaries, Dr. J. A. Deaver and A. G. Ewing;
Vice Presidents, J. W. Dunwiddie, Joseph
Mingle and G. W. Ntattern.
Tho following persons were elected a busi
ness committee :
T. B. Byskill, Rev. N. J. Owens, B. F. Brown,
Dan'l Conrad, Rev. J. F. Craig, James Crowl
and Jeremiah Ebbs.
On motion, the Chair appointed the follow
ing committee on Credentials :
S. Ralston, Wm. Johnston and - Mingle.
The remaining portion of this session was
occupied by members in stating their object
in attending this Convention, and the commit
tee on entertainment, assigning delegates to
places of entertainment.
-
When, on motion, the Convention adjourned
to meet at 2 o'clock, p. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Convention net at 2 o'clock, and was led in
devotional exercise by Rev. J. Craig.
Reports of schools being then in order, it
was found 14 schools reported 165 teachers
and officers and 937 scholars. Schools mostly
in good working condition and all except 3
kept open all the year. There were other
schools within the bounds, but not reporting,
are omitted in the above.
The Business Committee, at this time, re•
ported the following as the time for meeting
Morning session, from 9 a. m., to 12 p. m.
Afternoon " 2p. m., to 4p. m.
Night " " 6p. m., to 9p. m.
The first half hour of each session to be de•
voted to devotional exercises. •
Discussion of the question, what relation
does the community sustain to the Sabbath
School ?
This subject was opened by the Rev. W. B.
Wagoner, who set forth the wants of Sabbath
Schools, and that parents retain the same
relation to Sabbath Schools that they do
to their children, and in order to get
parents interested it is necessary to get good
christian teachers, with hearts of piety, and
love for children, and a love for the work.
They must take their children to a throne of
Grace. Parents need instruction •in this.
Teachers alone can reach the parent through
the child.
B. F. Brown asked if it was only the reli
gions portion of the community that was to be
reached. Ile held that the irreligious parents
also held a relation to the Sabbath School.
Rev. J. D. Brown thought the Sabbath
School was not a good place to send children
to have them taken care of while the parents
take a morning nap. Neither thatthe Sunday
School was a good place to display finery, or
where parents could send their children in
order to not have instructions in the family.
He thought the relation was rather auxiliary.
Other members participated in this discussion.
NIGHT SESSION.
Devotional exercises conducted by Rev. J.
D. Brown.
The subject, what relation does the Tem
perance cause sustain to the Sabbath School?
This question was opened by Dr. Vantrice,
and further discussed by James Crowl, Rev. J.
D. Brown, C. W. Reynolds, S. Ralston, D. R.
Fry, and others.
The discussion favored the early instilling
of right principles into the minds of children
at an early age, and as the Sabbath School
must be considered the nursery of the church,
it was there the principles of Temperance
should be early inculcated.
The subject of conducting Sabbath Schools
without libraries was then taken up, and dis
cussed by Ewing, Rev. J. D. Brown, and Rey
nolds, showing clearly that Sabbath Schools
could be conducted successfully with or with
out the use of libraries. More depending up
on live teachers with the love of Christ in the
heart than upon libraries.
The subject of Sabbath School Literature
was then taken up;and after being discussed
by G. W. Reynolds was, on motion, laid over
to be discussed at OA c'clock, Wednesday
morning.
The remainder of this session was occupied
by Rev. J. D. Brown in a lecture on "Customs
of India," which was listened to with much
interest by the large audience in attendance.
WEDNESDAY MORNING SESSION.
After the usual devotional exercises, the
following persons were appointed a Commit
tee on Resolutions:
Drs. Vantrice and Deaver, S. Ralston, R. R.
Fry, ana Rev. D. Castleman.
The subject of Sabbath School Literature
was then taken up, and discussed by Rev. J.
D. Brown, Dr. Vantrice, Rev. D. Castleman,
ane others.
Some of the speakers were willing to
sacrifice the library altogether ; it seemed to
be maintained by others that well selected
libraries of good literature were beneficial,
but that great care should be exercised by
those whose duty it is to select libraries.
The subject of teaching spelling and reading
was then discussed by the convention, after
being opened by the Rev. D. Castleman.
The burden of this discussion disapproving
of devoting the time of the Sabbath School
teacher to teaching the letters when we have
six days devoted to secular instruction.
At this point the regular business was
waived for the purpose of hearing Mr. Samuel
itattern give a short Historical sketch of Sab
bath Schools when first started in this vicini
ty, 45 gears ago. The first Sabbath School
was started in the Old Stone Mill, on lands
near Iluntingdon Furnace. It was after con
sultation with two other persons we resolved
to make an effort, which was well received
and schools welt attended. One of the per
sons assisting in organizing this school re
' moved to the vicinity of Warriorsmark, and
there another school was started. In this first
school as many as 50 verses of scripture were
recited by a pupil on one day. Reward tickets
were then used.
AFTERNOON SESSION,
Devotional exercises. After which had been
arranged a children's meeting, quite a number
being present, were addressed by Rev. N. J.
Owens and Rev. J. D. Brown. The remaining
portion of this session was devoted to perma-
nest organization.
The Association shall be composed of the
Sabbath Schools of Warriorsmark and Frank
lin townships, with schools adjoining, to be
called The Warriorsmark and Franklin Town
ship Sabbath School Association. That the
officers be a President, two Vice Presidents,
one Recording and one Assisting Recording
Secretaries, one Corresponding Secretary,
Treasurer and Executive Committee of three
persons. The Association to meet Semi-An
nually. Franklinville was selected as the next
place of meeting.
The following officers were elected to serve
for one year: President, G. W. Reynolds ;
Vice Presidents, T. K. Henderson and Joseph
Mingle; Secretary, J. A. Deaver, Assistant
Secretary, Dr. Vantrice ; Corresponding Sec
retary, A. G. Ewing; Ex. Committee, John
Hartsock, Wm. Cole and°. B. Porter.
EVENING EEBEION.
Devotional exercises, after which the ques_
tion, "What relation does the Teacher sustain
to the Sabbath School Scholar," was opened
by J. R. Lowry, Esq., followed by Messrs.
Stewart and Brown. As had been previously
arranged, J. D. Brown delivered a very inter
esting lecture on India from a religious stand
point which was listened to by a crowded
house, which no doubt would be impressed
with the importance of the Missionary work.
The committee on resolutions reported the
following
Wnatitike: The great object which the Institution
of Sabbath Schools aim to secure, is to impart
religious instruction to the young. and thereby
produce in their minds those religious impres
sions and form those religious habits, which
with the Divine blessing will be their safeguard
in danger, as' well as their guide in duty, in af
.
ter years, therefore,
Resolred, That this object cannot be rewired
either in oar own community or in any other,
without the hearty co-operation of parents and
guardians. They have the power, and upon them
rest the responsibility of having the required les
sons learned, the library books or papers read, un
derstood and taken care of, and the children reg
ular and punctual in their attendance, wo there
fore do most earnestly and affectionately call upon
parents and guardians of the youth of this com
munity to take a more lively interest in this cause,
and to lend us their aid in this our first attempt
by this Convention to awaken more interest and
give more efficiency and success in future to the
Sabbath School cause.
Re.lced, That conventions composed of officers,
teachers, and friends of Sabbath Schools held in
townships or district., for consultation, discus
sion, prayer and praise, wo regard as earnestly
adapted to promote the progress and success of
the Sabbath School cause.
Resolved, That this Convention, (the first in
this district) has been a success and gives entire
satisfaction to the friends of the Sabbath School
cause; the fruits of which will bo as "bread cast
upon the waters," and may be gathered many
days hence.
'Resolved, That this Convention hails with grat
itude to Almighty tied, the signal marks of his
blessing on the efforts of the friends of Temper
ance during the past year and that we urge upon
all our Sabbath Schools the formation of Sabbath
School Temperance societies.
Receded, That this Convention tender their
thanks to the citizens of Warriorsmark and vi
cinity, for their generous hoswitality during the
present convention.
Resolved, That the thanks of this convention be
tendered to Rev. J. D. Brown, fur his attendance,
-.--
and hie able lectures during the continuance of this
Convention.
The association adjourned to meet at the
call of the Executive Committee.

THE PATENT AIR-BRAKE—For the
benefit of the many readers of the JOURNAL,
who are indentified with railway interests and
experiments, we give room to the following
account, clipped from an exchange, of a re
cent experiment with the patent air brake
which was made in Carbon county. It speaks
volumes in favor of the air-brake which has
long been in use on all passenger trains on the
Pennsylvania Railroad :
"There was a man in Mauch Chunk, a few
days ago, with a patent air-brake for railroad
care, for sale. He claimed that it would stop
a train going at the highest rate of speed in
half its own length. There was a certain man
up there who treated this suggestion with
scorn, and said that he would wager large
sums of money that the air-brake would not
stop a train any quicker than any other brake.
So he borrowed the contrivance apd fixed it
on an open car on the Switchback Railroad,
and went up to the top of Mount Pisgah to
get a fair start. He let her come down the
inclined plain for a while until she began to
move along at the rate of sixty miles an hour,
and then as he was turning a sharp curve, he
suddenly placed his foot on the brake and
put it on with full power. One minute later
the eyo of any solitary traveler passing through
those wilds might have observed a car stand
ing perfectly still on the track and a railroad
man going down the hill among the black
berry bushes and underbrush headforemost
at the rate—say, of 45 miles an hour. He was
carried home on a stretcher, and now the rail
road man not only has perfect faith in the
availability of the air -brake, but he is con
vinced that it would be a good thing if some
man would invent a machine for taking the
flatness and general demoralization, as it were,
out of mutilated noses."

FORMER RESIDENT OF ALTOONA
STRUCK DEAD AT Ho WlfleS Grtsvz.—From
a late Sacramento paper we learn that Mr.
Joseph Griffith, a former resident of this city,
but more recently employed on the Virginia
and Truckee Railroad, and residing in Virgi
nia City, Nevada, on the 13th ult., met with a
very sudden death which occurredunCer rath
er singular circumstances. On the afternoon
of the day referred to, accompanied by his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Kelly, and his daughter,
Mr. Griffith visited the grave of his wife, in
Helvetia Cemetery, near Virginia City, and
while standing at the head of the grave, exam
ining the tombstone, he dropped dead. The
heart that had throbbed with love for the
wife and mourned over her death, ceased its
pulsations at her , sepulchre, and there amid
the homes of the dead the spirit of the widow
ered husband winged its way :in search of its
mate in the sprit land. Mr. Griffith has rela
tives living in Altoona. lie had been afflicted
for some time with disease of the heart, which
was the cause of his death.—Altoona Tribune.

THE TE3IPEEANCE QUESTION.—MR.
EDITOR.-Your last sheet has fully confirmed
my conviction that the JOURNAL is a straight
ont Tethperance paper—bolding the truth,
and bold enough to maintain it, and plead for
it—not simply temperance nor total;abstinonce,
but prohibition. This is the point—this must
be, until effected, the battle-cry of the Tem
perance Reform. And if the whole Press,
secular and religious, would take a firm stand
tie this, the horrid scourge of legalized intem
perance, would soon be driven from our land.
And it is encouragineg; all the advocates of
this reform, to see the religious Press, prevc
ded by a thorough temperance feeling, and
very many of the leading religious papers and
periodicals, openly committed to this cause,
and disseminating among their millions of
readers every week, temperance sentiments,
and doing much to train up a generation that
shall come up to this work of the Lord. And
many secular papers are stepping into the
same rank, and are doing good service in the
cause of God and humanity. And this, by the
way, is an evidence that public opinio is
changing—men everywhere, are opening their
eyes to the abominations of the liquor traffic.
It is being disgraced. The flimsy covering
of repectability, which men drew over its dis
gusting form, has been torn off, and its hideous
corruption and crimes stand out, exposed to
the light of day, and the contempt of every
one whose moral sense has not been blunted
by its unhallowed influence. Persons are
more ready to speak and write in condemna
tion of it, and few are found in christian com
munities, who are bold enough to openly ad
vocate it. This augers well nod promises
ultimate certain triumph. Rig with some dif
ficulty, that the required "twelve disciples" or
Bacchus can be found in some townships, to
sign the petition for license—and those who
do so are ashamed of it, and wish to hove th e
infamous act forever concealed from their
friends and neighbors. Years ago, men would
sign such petitions without hesitation—even
members of the church of Christ. They would
petition the Court to lengthen Satan's chain—
to let "hell loose" on earth, and then go to
chureh and pray to bring heaven down. Vain
effort I These places cannot be brought to
gether; between them there is a "great gulf ,
fixed." It is with great satisfaction that we
say that day is gone—gone never to return,
in this part of our land. In connection with
this question, I hear "golden opinions" of our
new Judge—that he will favor this reform. I
hope that He by whom the Judges of the earth
do rule, will give him grace to do so; and may
he be a minister of God for good, and not for
evil. In such a course he will have the re
spect and support of all lovers of God and
and truth, and what is infinitely better, the
sanction of the Most High, and the conscious
ness of having done his duty. VISITOR.

TAKE YOUR OWN HOME PAPER.—
"What tells us so readily the standard of a
town or city as the appearance of its paper?
And its youth or its age cau as well be deter
mined by the observing as by a personal no
tice. ,The enterprise of its citizens is depicted
by its advertisements, their liberality by the
looks of the paper. Some papers show a good,
solid, healthy foundation, plethoric purses, and
a well-to-do appearance generally; others
show a striving to contend with the grasping
thousands around them, trying hard to wrench
out an existence from the close-fisted commu
nity around them. An occasional meteoric
display in its columns of telegraph or local or
of editorials, shows what it can do if it had
the means, but it cannot continue in the ex
pensive work until support comes, which
ought to be readily granted. A newspaper
is like a church ; it wants fostering is the
commencement, and for a few years ; then, as
a general thing, it can walk alone, and reflect
credit upon its location. Take your home
paper; it gives you more news of immediate
interest than New York or other papers; it
talks for you when other localities belie you;
it stands up for your rights, you always have
a champion in your home paper, and those
who stand up for you should certainly be well
sustained. Your interests are kindred and
equal, and you must rise or fall together.
Therefore, it is your interest to support your
home paper; not grudgingly, but in a liberal
spirit ; as a pleasure, not as a disagreeable
duty; but as an investment that will amply
pay the expenditure."—Godey's Lady's Book.

MORRISDALE COAL TRADE.—The Mor_
risdale coal region, in this county, is being
rapidly developed, and becoming a business
of considerable importance. On Tuesday of
last week, the firm of Wigton, Dorris & Holt
shipped 47 car loads-470 tons—the largest
shipment ever made from a single mine iu
Clearfield county. The average daily ship
ment by this firm is now 400 tons, and will
aggregate about 10,000 tons for the month of
January. On Friday, the 19th, 540 tons of
coal were shipped from three mines, in the
Morrisdale region-450 of which were shipped
from the Wigton k Co.'s mine. This compa
ny has a working capacity of 500 tons daily,
and will, in a very short time, ship up to their
full capacity. The firm of Pardee & Ashman,
also own a large tract of the best coal lands
in that region ; but as yet, they have not open
ed any mines. When this firm commences
operations, they can very readily ship 500 tons
daily, as their location is one of the best in
that region. It is evident from these facts,
that the coal trade of Clearfield county is yet
only in its infancy, but is yearly growing in im
portance, and when once fully organized, will
will add greatly to &he wealth and prosperity
of the county.—Raftsman Tonrual.

How To MAKE ALUM BASKETS.—
Some of our fair readers may be interested in
the following receipt : "In the formation of
the basket, use bonnet wire and wherever the
wires cross, tie with coarse thread. After
forming, wrap all the wires with candle wick,
or if you wish a colored basket use red flannel
or other colored woolen goods, but not glazed
muslins, as they arc too smooth to gather the
Alum, Tying strips of the woolen goods
around the top wire of the basket for a fringe
adds greatly to its appearance. For the solu
tion in which to hang the basket, put four
pounds of Alum in about 21 gallons of warm
water and letit stand on the stove till through
ly dissolved. Put it in a crock sufficiently
large to hang in the basket having it entirely
covered, with the solution, and let it remain
until you think the wire has sufficiently gath
ered the crystals. Grasses are crystalized in
the same manner. The above quantities of
Alum and water are for a medium sized bas
ket, and must be varied if a larger one is to be
made."

TLIANKSGIVING SEUMON.—A Thanks
giving Sermon, preached in tho Reformed Church,
of Alexandria, Pa., at the Union Service, Novem
ber 20, 1071, by Rev. J. C. Barr, Pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, of Alexandria, was de
layed by circumstances over which we had
no control ; but it is never too late to publish a
goof thing :
Psalm 47,7. "For Cod is the K,ing of all the earth
sing ye Praises - with understanding."
THE TRUE GOD,
TILE RULER OP TIM EARTH.
Another year has passed, and, with those that
have preceded it, has gone into the volume of the
world's history. Its record of successes and fail
ures, of disappointed hopes and realized gains is
completed, and is tiled away that the generations
coming inay read it. And now that the fruits of
the year have been gathered and safely housed,
and the forests and fields have thrown off their gay
---
robes of Summer, and the cold north winds hate
again waked from their slumbers, we are reminded
of our yearly privilege and yearly duty to render
public thanksgiving to Rim who has ruled the
year. For that purpose are we assembled to-day.
In accordance with a time-honored and worthy
c,stom the Chief Magistrate of this nation, and
the Chief Magistrate of this Commonwealth have
invited the people of this land to assemble and
make public recognition of the hand by which all
blessings have been dispensed.
And so we are here to-day ; and we would lift up
our hearts to God, not simply because of theformal
invitation to do so, but rather because our hearts
would so incline us.
The text which we have selected carries us di
rectly to God as tho Supreme Ruler of all the
earth: and viewing Him as such, it exhorts us to
render unto Him songs of praise.
We are at liberty to view the thoughts of the
text either in its snider application as relating to
the whole world, or in its narrower and more spe
cial application, as relating to our own country
and nation as a part of the world.
We shall view it E. merrhat in both these respects.
I. In its application to the whole world. "God
is the King of all the earth," therefore we ought
to sing praises unto Him.
God is the King of the earth in every possible
sense. In the sense of Author or Creation.
The very first declaration of God's written revela
tion to men affirms that "in the beginning Ile cre
ated the heavens and the earth." Paul to the Lys
trians declares, "Ile made heaven, and earth, and
the sea, and all things that are therein." And to
the Athenians he calls Him the "God that made
the world, and all things.
He is King again, in the sense of being the
owner or the earth. “Tho earth is tile Lord's and the
fullness thereof." So is He King in the sense that
he has given to the earth its designations, and to
its inhabitants their apportionments. He divided
the sea from the dry land, and appointed to each
its boundaries. And he scattered the people over
the face of the earth. Moses says: "The Most High
divided to the nations their inheritance, He sepa
rated the sons of Adam." And in Paul's celebra
ted address to the Athenians he declared that "God,
made or one blood all nations of men for to dwell
On all the face of the earth, and bath determined
the times, before appointed, and the bounds of
their habitation." . .
But the sense in which God reigns specially, is
[hat of Ruler. Ile rules among the nations, work-
ing out by them his urea wise purposes. With
Him, the prophet says, the nations ars as a drop
of a bticket,and are eountedas the small dust of the
balanco; behold he taketh up the isles as a very
little filing." By Him kings reign, and princes
decree justice. By Him princes rules, and nobles,
even all the judges of the earth. Says Daniel, "He
changetit the times and the seasons ; Ito removeth
kings, slid sitteth up kings." Aud the apostle's
doctrine in regard to civil rulers is, that, "there
is no power but of God; the powers that be are
ordained of God." Thus is clearly taught the
truth, that the living God, who sits upon his throne
in the heavens, rules among the inhabitants of the
earth. , Nor is his ruling in the earth confined to
the afrrars of his church exclusively; though over
it he extends his peculiar care, for, "Ile loves the
gates Of ZlOll more than all the dwellings of Ja
.
'Job."
But He rules in the state as well. Indeed, civil
government is from God as really as the church.
Both were alike ordained by Him, and it is only
reasonable that he should rule in church and state
alike.
And the fact that wicked men often come into
power. and that the state is often guilty of gross
wickedness, and that cruel and desolating wars are
often waged between different rulers and different
nations—this fact does not invalidate the claim
here urged, that God is King among the nations.
The present dispensation is imperfect. It is in
the hands of imperfect beings. Those imperfect
beings are endowed with reason, and have freedom
of choice; and hence it cannot be otherwise than
that evil will work its way among the good, and
that even God's purest works will be much defaced
and marred.
Even the church which is so manifestly an insti
tution of heaven, and the hearts of the saints which
are so manifestly the dwelling place of the Holy
Spirit. have much of evil in them. Evil is mixed
with the good. And so it will be until this dis
pensation shall have passed away and ono of glory
be ushered in. And then God often chooses wicked
nations and wicked princes as instruments to ful
fil his purposes of wisdom, and holiness, some
times to punish others with for their transgressions.
The'Babylonians were thus employed to chastise
the Israelites for their departure from the true
God, and when, afterwards the iniquities of the
Babylonians pierced the heavens, God raised up
Cyrus an ambitious Persian prince to thresh them,
and break their tyrannical power., Thus in civil
governments wicked men and wicked measures
often prevail, but God so controls and overrules
them us to have them work out his own religious
plans. Still God is King. He is King of all the
earth. And the thought is always precious .to the
good man. He knows that truth and wisdom rule
upon the throne, and that supreme power is em
ployed in the execution, and that righteousness
and peace will be wrought out in the end. And so,
in the midst of wars and rumors of wars, in the
triumphs of wicked men and wicked measures,
when to the eye of sense, God seems to have fled
from the earth, the eye of faith will look beyond
and above, and the heart will still trust and praise.
The trusting loving heart will continua to sing,
as Luther so often did in the darkest days of the
reformation, "God is our refuge and strength, a
very present help in trouble. Therefore will not
we fear, though the earth be removed, and though
the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
though the mountains shake with the swelling
thereof. a 4 The Lord of hosts is with ns; the
God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah: . Thus in the
darkest days upon the earth the gpod man will
still trust and wait. Hope will abitlti with him in
strength, and will minister to him oomfort and
courage. Ile will plead with himself, "My soul
•wait only upon God, fur my expectation is from
him, He only is my rock and my salvation, he is
my defence, I shall not be moved. And he will
declare to the faint hearte t and desponding one.,
"God is the King of all the earth," and ho will
exhort, "sing praises with understanding."
It. But we pass now to consider the thought of
the text in its application to our own country and
nation. As the Lord as the King of all the earth, so
is he of that portion of it known as the United
States of America. But a very practical survey
of the history of our nation is necessary to show
the designs of wisdom and goodness which have so
marked every stage of its progress. The hand of
the Lord seems to have been over us for good in
our origin as a nation, and in our subsequent ca
reer to the present time ; and the indications are
that divine zoodnees has yetsome special purposes
to work out by us. Sec this in the character of
the people who made the first permanent settle
ments in our country. They were others than
those by whom it was discovered. The discovery
and first possession were affected under the auspices
of the Spanish Crown and wholly in the interest of
that people. But as if counting that people un
worthy to Fettle and give character to such a coun
try as this, the Spaniards were set aside, and a
very different people rose to the ascendency, and
laid the foundations of our national character and
national institutions. The Puritans in the Ply
mouth region, and afterwards a portion of the state
people under Roger Williams in Rhode Island;
the Hollander., in New York and New Jersey ;
the Quakers. under the benevolent Penn, in Penn
sylvania ; the English, at Jamestown, Virgisit.,
and the Huguenots in the South Carolinas—these,
with subsequent additions from the land of Luther
and of Knox, were the people who sowed the need
which grew so stoutly and ripened into our Amer
ican nationality. What more natural than that
the discoverers of this fair land should become its
proprietors and should people it ? What but a
favoring providence should secure their failure and
give possession to those others ? The Spaniards
obtained footing in Central and South America,
and in the poor ignorant priest-ridden people of
those countries, and in their petty distracted gov
ernments we may see what this country would
likely be, had they succeeded here also. But in
stead, this land is inhabited by a people who, in
most of those elements which make people great
and good, is equaled by no other people on the
earth ; and our government is the beat model found
anywhere among the nations. Surely the hand of
the Lord was with us in these first pulsations of
our national life, and the Ruler of all ruled in these
first steps.
-.Again, was it mere chance, or was there a wise
superintendence in the choice of those parts of our
laud where the first settlements were made? Man
would have chosen the rich valleys and the broad
plains of the west, where little effort would have
been needed to secure a maintenance. As a natur
al result we may suppose indolence and effeminacy
would have been induced, and there would have
been a lack of that discipline necessary to subdu
ing the more rugged eastern portions. But the
east was first settled and filled up. The rugged
hills of New England, many of them almost bar
tenness, the sandy plains of New Jersey, the nar
row valleys and steep mountains slopes of Penn
sylvania and Virginia, were populated and wore
tilled before the broad rieh valleys of the Ohio and
the Mississippi were fairly known. What was the
result? A more hardy, industrious inventive peo
ple grew up because of the necessities of their situ
ation. Necessity made them selfreliant and reso
lute, and thus when, in their contracted domain
they had multiplied ties they 'ostled unpleasantly
against each other, and the highway to the broad
west was opened, they were ready to press forward
and possess the land. Before their stout hearts
the heavy forests were mown down, and the wild
prairies were turned Into golden harvest-flelds. And
in their widened field for activity the energy and
enterprise of the sturdy emigrants expanded yet
more. So that all over that wide region we find
a people unsurpassed in their activity and their
great undertakings ; and we find improvements
which in their extent and completeness, are a per
fect marvel. This we believe is due largely to the
formation of character and habits, so well laid in
those portions of the country first settled. Had
the vast rich plains been first occupied a very dif
ferent race would doubtless have been developed,
and the movement eastward over the more steriel
and rugged portions would have been very tardy,
and, to all human reason, these monstrous piles of
mountains, which sleep so grandly all around no,
and which now add so wonderfully to the nation's
wealth, would yet be hugging their undiscovered
treasures. Is all this the result of chance ?Or are
there not in it the manifest traces of intelligent
and benevolent design? For our part we have to
look upon it as the ruling of that God who is King
over all the earth, and, therefore will we sing
praises unto Him.
Again, as to the formation of our government,
all good men and true aro ready to acknowledge
the hand of God in all the steps connected there
with. To human view it appeared madness for
the few 'colonists to rise, as they did, on the 4th
day of July 1776, and solemnly declare themselves
independent of the British crown. But they rose,
and they joined hands in solemn covenant before
God to sacrifice their all in maintaining their posi
tion. God witnessed that grave transaction. He
heard those prayers, He sealed those pledges, He
gave courage to those hearts and strength to those
hands, and He crowned their efforts with a most
blessed triumph.
And after Independence had been secured, and
peace restored, the work of reconstruction, or rath
er of building anew, was to be done. And this
required even greater wisdom than the steps which
preceded, for there was no pattern after which to
shape the new government, no mould into which
to east, none certainly which these brave men were
willing to accept.
And so they formed a new model and gave to
the world a new style. They planted here the
genuine tree of liberty. They tended it with care
ful hands, and watered it with tears from weeping
eyes and bleeding hearts, and it grew steadily and
stoutly till it has attained to magnificent propor
tions, and its branches aro weighed down with
precious golden fruit: No other government has
extended each a welcome hand to the poor and
deserving of all nations. None has ever offered
such rewards to honest industry and personal
merit, neither ancestral lines nor historic titles are
necessary to promotion. But the man of merit,
the man who has true manhood can rise to a seat
beside nobles and kings, so that here we have in
deed an asylum for the oppressed of all nations,
as also, as we so often sing "The land of the free,
and the home of tho brave." True our government
affords opportunity to partisan schemers and un
principled knaves for elevating and enriching
themselves. Bat that can be no grave objection.
It is only the imperfection which adheres to all
institutions among men.
These are only the spots on our full orbed sun,
the gnarled and dead limbs on our beautiful tree.
This is the evil that is intermixed with the good,
and shall we have good alone and no evil? But
right up with the evil are the elements of the
cure, for that liberty which gives bad men an op
portunity to rise gives to the good and the true
freedom and opportunity to rise in their strength
and cast down the bad. The pee* are patient,
and will bear long with odious laws and oppresivo
rulers. But when the burden becomes too great,
,when the last pound is laid upon the back they
will rise and east it from them. What a marked
illustration of this do we at present have in the
metropolis of our nation. The people bore to the
utmost verge of endurance the giant frauds of
those in authority over them. Then they rose and
and 0 ! under what a weight did they come up.
But they rose up, vet and now they are wreaking
out a terrible vengeance upon the heads of their
oppressors, and they are likely to hurl them so
low as to place them beneath the poor cheap com
pliment of contempt, and the good and true of all
parties are everywhere shouting amen, and AMEN.
Thus if our government does give opportunity
to bad men to conepire, so does it give to good men
an opportunity to combine. And until intelligence
and virtue shall have fled much farther than now,
the combinations of the latter will be' more than a
match for the conspiracies of the former.
Surely such a government is not the outgrowth
of bare human wisdom. But where truth and
righteousness have such opportunities to assert
their dominion, where merit receives suchuwards,
where intelligence is so general, where religron is so
untrammelled, the feeblest sects having equal pro
teetion with the strongest; surely here is manifest
the guiding hand ,which moves in wisdom, and
which exalts righteousness and truth in the earth.
Here, indeed, does God rule as King.
Anti this God has ruled through all the years of
our national history. Our career as a nation has
been an eventful one. The ship of state was
launched upon troubled and untried waters. It
has encountered some storms ; it has been drawn
into some whilrpoole; clouds have at times gather
ed thick above it and cast upon it dark heavy
shadows ; but still it sides on, on in its glorious
career beautifnly, grandly, steadily, undivided,
-and one, bearing with it joyous happy groups,
and carrying to the nations in darkness and under
oppression blessed hopes and golden promises of a
greater good yet to come. For this let us give
thanks to day. Let us sing praises unto our God.
And the blessings which have crowned the year,
uninterrupted peace, continued health, bountiful
harvests—for these let us give thanks to the au
thor of all good, let us praise him continually,
and let us teach our children to praise him, yea,
let "kings of the earth, and all people, princes and
all judges of the earth, both young men and maid
ens, old men and children, let them praise the
name of the Lord, for his name alone is excellent,
his glory is above the earth and heaven."
And now, if we prove true to our trust and
' choose for our rulers only men of integrity and
truth, wo shall have yet greater reason to bring
our annual tribute of thanksgiving and praise.
"Happy is that people, that is in such a case, yea
happy is that people, whose God is the Lord."

'How To GO WEST."—Forty years
ago, Illinois was as far West as most people
wished to go, and journeys were made in the
legendary "Prairie Schooner," but in these
days of Progress and Improvement, the word
West has come to mean lowa, Nebraska, Kan.
saa, Colorado, California and the Territories,
and the traveer reaches almost any point
therein by a splendid Line of Railroad.
This line of Railroad is the BURLINGTON
ROUTE, which starts from Chicago over the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy R. R.; from In
dionapolis over the Indianapolis, Bloomington
dr Western Short Line, and from Logansport,
over the Toledo, Peoria k Warsaw It. R., and
running through ThIRLINGTON, reaches Omaha,
Lincoln, Nebraska City, St. Joseph, Atchison,
Leavenworth and Kansas City, connecting
with the Union Pacific, Kansas Pacific, and
other Railroads running from those cities.
Always go "By way of Burlington," and you
will sure to be right.
The Burlington Route has admirably an
swered the question "How to go West ?" by
the publication of a truthful and interesting
document, filled with facts in regard to Time,
Connections, Accommodations, rates of Fare,
and other interesting items, and illustrated
by a large map, truthfully showing the whole

Wherever Poke Root grows, it has a local repu
tation as a Blood Purifier,and for the enre of Rheu
matism. With all this local reputation, and the
praise of distinguished Physicians, (Drs. Coe, Lee,
Xing, Wilson, M. Hunt, Grilfits, Copland and oth
ers) who have tested its medical powers; it has
been neglected by the profession at large, as much
through a want of &proper appreciation of its mer
its, as a knowledge of the proper way to prepare it
for medicinal use. Dr Oliver Crook, (a physician
who devotes his entire time to the duties of his
profession), has fully tested the active medicinal
qualities of Poke Root during the last 25 years,
and unhesitatingly pronounces it to have MORE
MERIT—for diseases depending on a depraved con
dition of the blood,—than any and all other arti
cles named in the Materia Medics. Under his in
structions our Chemists have combined the active
medicinal qualities of Poke Root with the best
Tonic Preparation of Iron, and we offer this pre
paration to the public under the above name.

WHY TRU
ARION PIANO
.... 391
IS SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS
The ARION PIANO-FORTE kw greater power
than any other Piano-Forte
It will Stand in Tune Longer,
and in its mechanical
feet, and, therefore, more durable, than any instru
ment constructed in the usual modern style.
The arrangement of the Agraffe, the manner of
stringing, the peculiar form and arrangement of
the Iron Frame
SUPERCEDES ALL OTHERS
The use of a bar (which is a part of the Iron
Frame on a line with the heavy steel stringing,)
gives
GREAT STRENGTH
where most needed, and in this respect all other
pianoes fail.
The construction of the WREST PLANK, into
which the tuning Pins are inserted, is inch that it
is impossible fur the pins to come loosened, or the
Wrest Plank itself to split, as is too often the case
in other Piano-Fortes.
The Extraordinary Evenness
throughout the scale, the excellent Singing Quali-
LENGTH AND PURITY OF VIBRATION,
all go to prove what we claim, vie : that the
ARION PIANO-FORTE
Is the Best Instrument Manufactured.
