The sermon that is simply good, that
is charged only with the commonplaces
of religion and morality, and never rises
in eloquence or a high range of thought
or feeling, might almost as well go un
preaehed. it accomplishes little beyond
disgusting its hearers with going to
church. The obvious common things
that may be said about any given text of
Scripture are exactly the things that
ought never to pe said in the pulpit, for
in these things the pulpit is no wiser
than the pew. One of the great reasons
for the lack of popular attraction to the
pulpit lies in the fact that brains enough
are not put into sermons. The thinking
in a sermon must be superior to the aver
age thinking of an audiance to produce
any effect upon it, and if in these days,
any man—no matter how gifted he may be
—imagines that he may halt in his enter
prise of earnest and profound preparation
for his preaching, without damage to
himself or his work, he is sadly mistaken.
His slipshod stuff will be detected every
time, and pass to his discredit. The
best thinking that the best men can do,
the best English they can command, and
the most impressive delivery of which
they are the masters, are called for, every
tiuie they appear before those who have
sufficiently loved and trusted them to j
place them in their high office.— Ncrib- \

At a conference of republican delegates !
from the several counties composing the '
11th congressional district, held in Ila
y.leton the other day, Col. G. C. Jackson,
of Montour county, and W. A. M Grier,
of Luzerne county, were declared the
choice of the district for delegates to the
National convention, with S. V. Thomp
son and Gen. Lilley as alternates. Hon.
John Leisenring was recommended for
elector.
On the question of instructions, the
following resolution was adopted :
Resolved, That the preference of this |
Congressional conference is in favor of
James G. Elaine, of Maine, as the Repub- j
llcan candidate for President, but having!
the utmost confidence in the integrity and
good judgment of the del 'gates selected i
to-day, we impose upon them no instruc-J
tions on the subject, believing that they j
will act for the best interests of the party.
Our old and estemed Iriend "Castelar," j
has been contributing to the republican
papers of the county articles 011 the Pres
idential question, containing as all the;
articles from his pen do, much good solid
sense and sound wisdom. In one of them
he suggests among other names to be;
submitted to the Chicago convention that
of Hon. G. A. Grow. We most heartily!
second "Castelor." believing as we do j
that none of the able statesmen mention
ed in connection with the Presidency
could till the position more acceptably or
bring to the discharge of its duties more
ability or statesmanship. The conven
tion which is to meet in llarrisburg next!
month would certainly honor itself by !
presenting his name to the national con
vention.
The Fusion legislature of Maine have
determined to "move" from Augusta, the
capital of Maine, and setup business at
Portland or some other locality where
proper buildings can be secured for the
purposes of a State government. The
actual purpose of this move probably is
to get away a little further from the seat
of authority. "Governor" Smith, and
those who still adhere to the Fusion cause
evidently have linaucial resources, but
they will soon tire of spending their own
funds or those of their friends.
The Northern Central Railway compa-
Ny announces an excursion to Washing
ton on February 2. The tickets issued
arc for six and ten days, entitling the
holder to a return on any regular train
in the meantime, and to stop over at cu
pon stations. Six day tickets from El
mira, $8.00; ten day tickets, $9.00. This
excursion affords a person in this neigh- j
borhood an unusnal opportunity to visit
the capital of the nation and see it while
at the heighth of its political and social
life, and at a rate that brings the excur
sion within the reach of all.
