News of the Week

“Tidings of these things came.”—Acts 11. 22.
FOR WEEK ENDING NOV. 15.

DOMESTIC.

—A fire at Napoleonville, La., destroyed buildings valued at $200,000.
—A fire at Palatka, Fla., destroyed fifty buildings, including four hotels, and several large business blocks. The loss is estimated at $1,000,000.
—A nine-ton lump of coal, claimed as the largest ever mined, will represent the coal interests of Birmingham, Ala., at the New Orleans Exhibition.
—Near New Haven, Conn., ripe strawberries were picked one day last week, and the fields are said to be full of red clover blossoms.
—Horace Greeley never said “Good morning” or “Good evening,” “How do you do?” “Good by,” or inquired after anybody’s health.
—The ship Andrew Johnson, of Thomaston, Me., was sunk in West Indian waters by a collision, seventeen of the crew being drowned.
—Barney Gallagher, who was Clerk of the last Nevada State Senate, has gone crazy from cigarette-smoking.
—A large number of Mormons from Tennessee reached St. Louis Friday, en route to the new settlement of the Saints in Colorado.
—Rails were removed from the Houston and Texas Central track, near Hempstead, Texas, Thursday night, and early Friday morning an express train tumbled down a thirty-foot embankment. Ten persons were killed and a number wounded.
—Professor Wolf, Superintendent of Schools, Burlington, Iowa, Ella Carpenter, Etta Teter, and Edith Branah were drowned by the capsizing of a skiff in which they were riding.
—Late discoveries have rendered insulation so perfect that there is less loss of electricity between here and Europe than there was formerly between New York and Jersey City.
—The National Cotton Exchange estimates the cotton crop in the United States this year at 5,726,000 bales, a slight increase over last year’s yield. There are prospects that the “top crop” may increase this by 75,000 bales.
—It is estimated that there will be over 15,000 delegates from the various cotton-producing countries in attendance at the Universal Cotton Convention at New Orleans, Feb. 10.
—The revenues of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company for the past fiscal year amounted to nearly $19,500,000. During the period named, the surplus fund was increased to the extent of $1,900,000.
—The charters of 721 national banks, with an aggregate capital of over $189,000,000, will expire during the year 1885. From information received by the Comptroller of the Currency it is expected a large majority of these banks will continue their existence.
—In the Union (W. Va.) section the people, because of an unusual drought, have been compelled to use water from streams heretofore regarded as impure. A disease known as flux has resulted, causing many deaths, particularly of children. Live stock have perished in large numbers, the loss from this cause alone amounting to $50,000.
—A severe shock of earthquake was felt Wednesday night at Concord and other towns in New Hampshire. Thursday forenoon Colchester and Kingsville, Ont., were disturbed by a heavy quake, windows being broken and the people alarmed. Shocks were also felt in Northern Ohio, but they are attributed to the powder exploration near Toledo.
—WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—The Washington monument to-day reached a greater hight than that of any other structure in the world, being 520 feet and 10 inches above the floor of the monument. The next highest structure is the spire of the Cologne Cathedral, which towers 515 feet above the floor of the building. It will take twenty-five years to complete the monument.—Inter Ocean.
—Ten tons of giant powder in Rummel’s magazine, near Toledo, Ohio, was exploded Thursday morning by the detonation of a tub of nitro-glycerine, which had been placed near a fire to thaw. The explosion was heard at Detroit, sixty miles away, and in the immediate district smashed windows, leveled fences and barns, and tore limbs from trees. In two schools near the scene a panic occurred, many children being bruised; and a spring wagon, containing four persons, was thrown into a ditch. An employee of the magazine was seriously burned, but will probably recover. The financial loss is placed at $10,000.

FOREIGN.

—Thirty-seven fresh cases of cholera were reported in Paris, and twelve deaths.
—The death of six men from eating pork affected with trichina is reported from Sudbury, Ont.
—The Chinese attacked the French works at Tamsui, and were repulsed after a fight of three hours.
—Fresh rumors are current at Cairo of the capture of Khartoum and the massacre of General Gordon.
—A Hong Kong despatch states that the situation of the French in Tonquin is daily becoming more serious.
—In the eighteen hours ended at six o’clock Wednesday night, there were forty-three deaths from cholera in Paris.
—At Paris, for the eighteen hours ending 6 P. M., Thursday, fifty-eight deaths from cholera were reported.
—According to the most recent statistics the population of Mexico is now 10,000,000, and the value of property is estimated at $3,707,000,000.
—The Mudir of Dongola telegraphs the Egyptian authorities that El Mahdi has established himself on the Western bank of the Nile, a few miles from Khartoum. Also that one of the Mahdi’s chief lieutenants is marching on Dongola with 12,000 men.
—“At Pordenone they rejoice, at Naples they die. I go to Naples.” Such was the telegraphic answer of the King of Italy to the inhabitants of Pordenone, begging his presence at the races, and he went to Naples, receiving, as he deserved, a warm ovation. The cholera is decreasing in Italy, but this noble saying of the King (and the resolution thus carried out to give the strength of his presence to his plague-stricken people), will ever remain one of the proudest passages in the history of the House of Savoy.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

—Mr. Moody, the evangelist, is conducting a revival at Troy, N. Y.
—The Prince de Ligne is thought to be possessed of the most curious book in the world, “The Passion of Christ.” It is neither written nor printed, but every letter of the text is cut out of a leaf, and, being interleaved with colored paper, is as easily read as the best print.
—The Supreme Court of Iowa has just decided that reading the Bible in the common schools does not make them places of worship, and consequently it is not contrary to the constitution of that State, which declares that ‘no person shall be compelled to attend any places of worship or pay taxes for building or repairing places of worship.’
—A reporter of the Toronto Globe, with the text in his mind, “If there come into your assembly a poor man in vile raiment, and ye say unto him, Sit thou there,” etc., donned his “vile raiment,” and visited a number of the most prominent churches of the city. He got good sittings in just two churches, the others having said to him, “Sit thou there.” There are a good many churches in this latitude, it is to be feared, in which he would be invited to sit “there.”
—A thoroughly sensible answer was that given recently by Rev. M. C. Stebbins, when examined for the pastorate of the Congregational church at Cornwall. President Hamlin asked him if we have the right to fix the Bible over to suit ourselves. Mr. Stebbins replied: “I am accustomed to look upon the Bible as intended to fix us over.”
—In giving some reminiscences of the late Bishop Simpson, Mr. Robert Burdette, the journalist, says he once attended a conference in Illinois, at which the Bishop in addressing the class of young men who were up for reception, remarked: “I have heard young men, in the depth of their humility, say, ‘I am willing to be a poor, despised Methodist minister.’ Now, brother, if you are poor, it’s your own fault, and if you are despised, it is because you are despicable.”—Christian Herald.
—The Catholic Review contains the following: “New York is probably the strongest Catholic city in the world. It is strong by the faith that is in it. If a man asks for the monuments of Catholicity in this great city, that soon may be the commercial center of the world, as it already is of this republic, he need only be told to look around him. Within a short century—within, in fact, half a century—New York has more Catholic churches, schools, societies, institutions, than any other denomination in the city.”—Inter Ocean.
—This is the way the Catholic council now in session at Baltimore seeks to impress the public mind with the greatness and magnificence of the Catholic Church: “It had evidently been determined that in brilliancy and numbers the opening services should exceed any religious event in the history of the country, and certainly the result went beyond all expectations. With thirteen archbishops, sixty-five bishops, scores of abbots, monsignors, vicars-general, superiors of religious orders, rectors of seminaries, and theologians—such a procession and spectacle has not before been seen in the land. Old men and old women went home exclaiming: ‘Now I have seen thy salvation!’”—Inter Ocean.

“AN INNER MEANING.”

The following words of warning against “an undue tendency to spiritualization” in the interpretation of the Scriptures, are taken from the Old Testament Student, as quoted by the Christian at Work of Nov. 6, 1884, and may be of service to our ministers:—
“There has ever been a disposition to try to find ‘an inner meaning’ in the words of Scripture and especially so in the Old Testament; it seems to be taken as a matter of course that a message from the Deity must contain some mysterious hidden element which can only be discovered by careful searching. . . . There is an undue tendency to spiritualization, which finds mystical meanings in the decoration of the tabernacle, the dress of priests, and the most trivial incidents of every-day life. While there are, of course, prophetical and typical elements in the Old Testament, we should not strive to find these upon all its pages, but recognize that the Book is the narration of simple fact, and is to be treated as such. . . . Much of the historical narrative was written as we believe, like other history, save only that the writers were divinely guided in the selection of the facts to be recorded; if this be so, then in our treatment of these events we should in large measure teach the sacred history as we would other history.”

GENERAL MEETING.

By R. C. Porter

A GENERAL meeting for the brethren and sisters living at Sharps, Clearfield, Delphos, Kellerton, and Davis City, will be held at Bro. Rigg's school-house six miles northwest of Mount Ayr, Ia, Sabbath and Sunday, Nov. 22, and 23. Plans for winter labor for this district will be talked up at this meeting. It is hoped that Eld. R. A.

POSTPONEMENT OF THE NEW YORK MEETING.

By M. H. Brown

Through a misunderstanding the general meeting for Pennsylvania was appointed for the same time as our meeting in New York. After further consultation with the brethren that have promised to attend these meetings, it is decided to postpone our meeting one week, so it will now come Dec. 4–8. This postponement of one week for each of our meetings is necessitated by the continuation of the General Conference for at least a week longer than was expected. We trust that all our brethren will put forth earnest efforts to attend this important meeting. M. H. Brown.
