"VOYAGE OF LIFE.
Rev.
Powlck's
Sermon in tho M.
E. Church Yesterday.
The olghth sermon uf tho series on tho
"Voyngo of Lifo" was dollvered In tho
Methodist Episcopal church last ovening.
It was dovoted to a consideration of "Tho
Pastimes." Tho question ofton raised:
"How do you past tho time away during a
sea voysgo" was answored by an account of
tho forms of amusement, and tho extent of
gambling and drunkenness which are In
dulged ' in. Extemporaneous ontertuln
morits, lectures, sermons, etc., by tho pas
sengers break up tho monotony.
This raisod tho question of the pattimnsol
lifo. Emphasis was laid upon tho fact that
spare lime is tho character-making period
of life. Spare moments are part of tho
precious stuff of which lifo is made. Yet
itsoemstobea burden to some. Many
constitutional grumblors aro wasting bolter
opportunities than many millionaires h ,d
whon thoy latd the foundation of thoir
princely lorlunos. So tho presont charac
ter and futuro destiny hangs to a largo ex
tent upon tho use mon mako of sparo time.
Man is not a mero machine to bo kept in
perpetual motion ho needs rot and chango
to rocuporate bis wastoi cnorgies. But tho
epidomlo of vacation shows that in many
instancoin vacation is only tho exchango of
busy idlonoss nt homo for fashionablo dis I
pation abroad. But to many persons there
is no alternative between buing a pieco ol
porpelual motion and a men) baby that
needs to bo amused. From tho imperious
demand that is made for merely It mo kill
ing amusemonts wo might think that the
chiof and of man is to find somo easy ami
congenial method of "killing time." Such
paltry conceptions of lifo a,id its responsi
bilities gives rise to' tho various forms ol
plcasurjjthal antigoniz-i tne spiritual lifo of
tho church, that gives support to tho Sun
day nowspapor. Tho clamor for open ex
hibitions and museums on Sunday comes,
howovcr, not from tho toiling masses but
from tho godless rich. Th o general prin
ciples woro laid down for tho guldanco of
his hearers in theso matters: 1 Of what
moral ideas Is tho particular thing under
consideration tho oxponont. 2 What sort
of chatacter is it eoan to produce in iU

POLITICAL POINTS.
Tho absoneo of contest and of bitter feel
ing which characterized tho Republican
primarios on Saturday shows that tho timo
is ripe for tha comenling of all tho factions
of tho party in Schuylkill county into ono
harmonious and united body. Wiso ac
tion by to-morrow's convention will achltvo
this most desirable result and signalize tha
beginning of n now und successful era in
tho history of Schuylkill county Republi
canism. For years tho party has only had
to cease its internal broils und nominato
decent candidates in order to havo at
tracted Eufficiont oulsido support to oloct its
tickets. It has, howover, unfortunately
timo after timo disgusted Independent Dem
ocrats who had announced their dissatis
faction with thoir own nominees and their
intontlon to vote for uny competent Repub
licans by solocting tho worst possiblo ma
ter.ul, and it tho samo timo taking such
ction as offended tho bett Republican son
timent and opened up anow factional sores.
Tno Republican county convention meets
in Pottsvillo to-morrow. Everything
points to a harmonious meeting and tho
nomination of a strong ticket. Miners'
Journal.
Tho following resolution, which wns
a'loptod by tho Delaware County Republi
can Convention, Thursday, is ovidenco
sufficient that Hon, John B. Robinson con
tinues to retain tho confidence of his paity
in that county, notwithstanding tho due
tirdly attempts of tho Philadelphia Pret
aid othor rulo or ruin organs to overthrow
him through mud-slinging and other ques
