Friday was observed "as a day of fasting
and prayer for the temperance work and
workers of our country." The f dlowing
topics were recommended by the Woman's
National Temperance Union :
"Morning Hour.—Thanksgiving for the
.wonderful change God hath wrought in
temperance sentiment in thsee past years,
and for the saved men and redeemed
homes of our land. Noon Hour.— That
the Christian men and women of the land j
shall be brought to see the unparalleled
evil of intemperance in its true light, and,
realizing its enormity, use their influence ,
and their efforts for its suppression. 1 to
2 p. m.—For the Press, that it may be
come one of the most powerful of God's |
instrumentalities for the advancement of j
the temperance cause. 2 tb :> p. in.—
That the heart s of all those who are en
gaged in this 'traffic in human souls' be I
changed, and the wickedness of the busi
ness tie made manifest to them. to t p. ;
in> —For the legal aspect of temperance
reform, that our voters and lawmakers
may be faithful to their trust in respect'
to Temperance legislation, fto" p. in.— |
For the spread of Temperance truths and
principles, and for the continual outpour
ing*of God's Iloly Spirit upon our work
and workers."
General Garfield's nomination by ae-1
clamation of United SPytcs Senator by
the Republicans for the Ohio-Legislature (
is a splendid tribute to one of the truest j
men in American politics to-day. Gener
al Garfield represents the best element in
the party which is and must be the hope
of the country, and his unanimous nomi
nation, putting aside alb thought of the
personal distinction designed for him, is
a proof of the instinct with which the
Republican party in stirring periods
seeks the leadership of its best men.
When it is remembered what distin
guished Republicans have been proposed
as candidates for the place to which Gen
eral Garfield has been chosen without a
dissenting voice, the honor seems to be
great -indeed. Considered in its Presi
dential significance, this must be regarded
as a handsome gain for Secretary Sher
man, especially as one of the candidates j
mentioned against the General was an
ardent Grant man.
A correspondent of the Christian IntcJl- j
vjencer. the Rev. J. A. l)e Rauu, D. 1)., I
beginning with the announcement that |
"several biblical scholars and theologians
of most respectable standing are pronounc
ing the opening chapters of Genesis to
be unhistorieal," examines the matter at j
length, and comes to the following con- j
elusions:
"The llook of Genesis is history divinely
certitied as to its accuracy. There is no j
divine intimation that its apparent plain ;
and simple record of first things is pa-j
reuthetical to its general historical
character, and there Is no divine warning
to look for a hidden meaning. The only
reasonable Interpretation of the history of |
the tlrst things in Genesis is the plain j
historical interpretation. *
According to the Washington Star
(Rep.) the President said in a conversa
tion a day or two ago that he believed
that under the Constitution the Vice-
President of the United States had the j
right to count and declare the Presiden
tial vote, and whether lie counted it and
declared it in the rotunda of the Capitol
or in presence of both Houses of Con-j
gross in joint convention assembled that j
he [the President] would recognize and i
enforce it as the true and legal declara
tion of the count. [
The Maine outrage was consummated
yesterday in the organization of the Leg
islature by the countcd-iu members. The
Republicans took no part and claim that
there was not a quorum voting, but what
does Garcelon care for that, lie has disre
garded the opinion of the Supreme Court,
and the will of the people.
