ST. HELENA AND ARBUCKLE.

By J. D. Rice

HAVE spent some time with the church in each of the above places since leaving Oakland. We are happy to report that a readiness has been manifested to adopt those changes recommended at our general meetings held in Oakland, and to take hold with renewed energy to make a success in these various branches of the work of God.
The Sabbath-schools have both adopted the series of lessons recommended by the committee in its circular letter sent out, and are providing themselves with such helps, maps, reference books, etc., as are needed to advance the interests of the school.
The T. and M. societies voted unanimously to act as agents for the State Society, in the sale of our publications, as do the ministers, and at once pledged towards the T. and M. reserve fund, nearly $100 at St. Helena, and $50 at Arbuckle. We hope to see these amounts increased in both places. Instructions were given as to the manner of keeping the individual's pass book and the librarian's books. Quite a number have pledged the one third, others give donations for a fund to keep on hand a sufficient supply of tracts for the use of the local societies.
Three names were obtained at St. Helena for "Life Membership" to the general tract and missionary society, two of whom are pledge members.
The Arbuckle V. M. society changed its forty copies 8-page SIGNS to fifty copies of 12-page edition, and enter upon their work with renewed energy and zeal. May they see many souls saved in the kingdom of God as the result of the seed of truth faithfully and prayerfully sown.
Baptized three at Arbuckle on Monday last. The truth is still onward here, and gaining ground though it meets with continued opposition. Many are inquiring if these things are so. Searching the Scriptures like those noble Bereans of old. Acts 17:11. May the Spirit of truth guide them. The visit of Sr. White to this place, has had a good effect upon the community, and if the brethren and sisters will improve the opportunities God has given them, they will give those interested an opportunity of reading Sr. White's works, especially the volumes of the Spirit of Prophecy. If they will also visit and pray with families leaving them tracts and papers, their efforts will not be in vain. "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy." Ps. 126:5-6. Gal. 6:9-10. We spend a few days with the brethren at Fresh-water, to help and encourage them, before going to Red Bluff.
Bro. Grainger is now with me. We ask an interest in your prayers.

BLAIR, NEBRASKA.

By A. J. Cudney, N. Clausen

DURING the past four weeks we have been holding meetings six miles west of this place, in the English and Danish languages. God has blessed our feeble efforts. Twelve, we think, have taken a decided stand for the truth. The meetings continue to be well attended. A. J. CUDNEY. N. CLAUSEN.

TIMBER HILL, KANSAS.

By Joseph Lamont

April 7, Bro. Santee and myself organized a church of nine members at this place. The tithing system was adopted by unanimous vote. Five have united with the T. and M. society. A small club of the Signs is taken. All have the Review and Good Health. The Sabbath-school of sixteen members has supplied itself with the Youth's Instructor and Bible Lessons for Little Ones, also the necessary record and class books, and a penny box. Attended the quarterly meeting at South Mound. This was a profitable occasion. Six joined the T. and M. society; and thirty-three copies of the Signs were subscribed for. The new Sabbath-school at Timber Hill and also that at South Mound decided to donate one-tenth of their penny-box collections to the State Association. April 14. Joseph Lamont.

MT. HOPE AND <u>SAND PRAIRIE</u>, WIS.

By G. C. Tenney

APRIL 15, I met with the church at Mt. Hope, and the next evening attended the monthly meeting of the health and temperance club. The temperance movement was well received here, and the club numbers about one hundred and ten members. An interesting programme of exercises had been provided. It was a pleasure to address them a few moments on the principles of true temperance. April 17, 18, in company with Bro. Olsen, I attended the Sabbath-school and temperance convention at Sand Prairie. There was a good representation from surrounding churches, notwithstanding the unfavorable weather. The meetings were of an interesting nature. Here, also, there is a flourishing temperance club of about one hundred members.

SYMMETRY OF CHARACTER.

By Rev. D. Wise

How shall symmetry of character be attained? By what means shall the young man repress his low and debasing qualities, develop what is noble and beautiful in human nature, and maintain a due proportion of each element of social superiority? This is a great question.
Harmony of character is produced by the action of some great central principle upon the conduct—a principle whose comprehensive grasp reaches to every act and feeling, regulating, stimulating, repressing, or guiding, as circumstances may require.
The stern heroism of Regulus, the Roman general, may serve to illustrate the influence of such a principle. This brave soldier, after being defeated, and kept in captivity for several years, was sent by the Carthaginians with an embassy to Rome, to solicit a cessation of arms and an exchange of prisoners. To secure his influence in their favor, they made him swear that, if the desired end was not attained, he would return to Carthage. The Roman took the oath, and departed.
Touched with the misfortunes of their general, the Roman senate was disposed to treat for peace, and retain the heroic Regulus. But he, knowing the weakness and exhaustion of Carthage, boldly advised the continuance of the war. Upon this, the senate rejected the overtures of the ambassadors; and, knowing the fate which awaited their general, entreated him to remain at Rome. His wife, his children, his friends, with tears and embraces, besought him not to rush on certain destruction. He was inexorable. He had sworn to return, and no considerations could change his iron purpose to keep his oath. He did return, and his ungenerous foes, to their eternal infamy, put him to death in the most cruel and malignant manner.
What was it that made Regulus proof against the tears of his friends, the love of his wife, the affection of his children, the fear of death?—for he resisted all these to fulfill his oath. Was he an unfeeling stoic? Nay!—but he was animated by that noble principle of Roman honor, which taught that death was preferable to a false, a mean, or a dastardly action! And it was this controlling sentiment, expelling or subduing all others, which led him to prefer his heroic death to the violation of a Roman's word. It also preserved him from sacrificing the interests of his country to his own safety. It made him at once a patriot and a hero.
Thus, you may perceive that the influence of a noble principle is like the action of the centripetal force on the solar system. As that attractive energy steadily maintains the unity and order of the universe, so a lofty, authoritative principle subdues the thoughts, emotions, and actions, to itself, and maintains a delightful harmony in the life of a young man, which commands the admiration and confidence of mankind.
It is the wave-line of beauty, which, running through all his conduct, imparts gracefulness to each act, and dignity and propriety to its entire character.
It is, therefore, a question of great moment to every young man, where to obtain a principle sufficiently comprehensive and powerful to regulate all the parts of his conduct, so as to form one harmonious whole. Some are satisfied with the sentiment of honor, such as ruled the Roman patriot. But that is obviously not sufficiently comprehensive. Your modern men of honor are gamblers, duelists, tyrants, Sabbath-breakers, drunkards, speculators, and the like; such things not being prohibited in the code of honor as established by public opinion, and the conduct of “great men,” falsely so called. Neither is the law of self-respect sufficient. It doubtless does much to regulate life in the sphere of home, but it is not proof against the temptations which assail men when abroad. Look, for instance, to the alarming fact, that the theatres, brothels, and other places of sinful resort in large cities, are chiefly supported by persons from the country. And who are these men from interior towns? What are they, when at home, but rigid moralists in appearance? Diligent, self-denying in their general habits, but immoral on occasions and opportunities. The reason is obvious. They are restrained among their friends only by that low standard of self-respect, which fears degradation in the eyes of others, but shrinks not from being mean in its own eyes, and guilty in the sight of God. It is not at all surprising, that a flimsy defence against temptation often yields to a fierce and persevering assault.
A fearful illustration of the absolute powerlessness of these restraints, when the soul is powerfully tempted, is furnished in the case of the late Professor Webster. If ever mortal man was placed in a situation to maintain a high character, through motives of self-respect and honor, he was that man. Educated, highly respectable in his connections, moving in the most refined and elevated circles in social life, widely known through his connection with the mother of American universities, the husband of an accomplished wife, the father of amiable, lovely daughters, and the possessor of what ought to have been an ample income,—how could he fail of feeling in their full force the claims of honor and the demands of self-respect? For him to do a notoriously mean or unlawful act, was to fall from the loftiest pinnacle of social honor to the lowest valley of shame. He knew this. Hence, honor and self-respect combined to keep him within the bounds of right and truth. But alas! how ineffectual were these restraints! Failing to reach the inner temple of the soul, they left him a prey to pride, extravagance and passion. Pushed by pride into extravagance, and by these again into acts of meanness, which, if proclaimed, would wound his haughty pride, his passions urged him to strike the desperate blow of murder, to free himself from the threatening danger. Passion won the day. He slew Patroclus, but fell into the hands of Achilles. By striking a man from existence whom he deemed his tormentor, he became a felon, and was dragged by the stern hand of the law from his high position to the scaffold! Alas! that his self-respect and his sense of honor should have failed to keep him from moral deformity and from crime! That it did not is an obvious fact; and that it cannot be relied upon in the hour when the tempter does his utmost, is equally demonstrable, from the nature of the case, and from the history of mankind.
Far higher, therefore, must that young man look than mere honor or self-respect, who would attain to symmetry and stability of character. Religion alone can furnish him with a principle at once potent and comprehensive enough for his stern necessities. Religion establishes itself on the throne of the soul. It exerts its restraining and transforming power over the will, the intellect, and the emotions. It persuades, entreats, and it also commands with Divine authority. It lays the soul under the weightiest obligation to walk by its great all-embracing principle. “Whether, therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”
Here is a far-reaching principle, laying every act, thought, and motive, under contribution; demanding the utter negation of self, and the subordination of the entire man, physical and spiritual, to the law of God. As the mysterious magnet points unerringly to the north pole of the earth, so does this law direct the soul of the young man to “the glory of God.” He must repudiate whatever act or thought dishonors his Creator; he must resolutely practice everything, however it may crucify the passions which tends to glorify the God of heaven. Here then, is a principle suited to his necessities, whose operation, if submitted to, must from the nature of the case, produce a lovely symmetry of character. It will bind and restrain unlawful passion, create integrity, stimulate to energy, to self-culture, to industry, to economy, to tact, to everything that developes noble qualities and latent powers. Nor are its requisitions of impossible performance. The same authority which announces the law also vouchsafes power to obey. “Ye shall receive power from on high!” “My grace is sufficient for thee,” are the encouraging promises of the Law-giver to every willing recipient of his command. And so effectually is that aid vouchsafed to every submissive and believing mind, that, filled with conscious power, it can view all the temptations of the inner and outer life, and exclaim, “I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me!”
To religion, therefore, young man, do I earnestly commend you, as the surest means of attaining harmony of character. Only let the “glory of God run like a silver thread through all your actions,” and you shall stand forth before the world a symmetrical man, and hence, a man of power; for
“’Tis moral grandeur makes the mighty man.”
-Rev. D. Wise.

The Home Circle.

BEGINNING AGAIN.

WHEN sometimes, our feet grow weary, On the rugged hills of life— The path stretched long and dreary With trial and labor rife— We pause on the toilsome journey, Glancing backward in valley and glen, And sigh with infinite longing To return and begin again.
For behind is the dew of the morning, In all its freshness and light, And before are doubts and shadows, And the chill and gloom of the night, We remember the sunny places We passed so carelessly then, And ask, with a passionate longing, To return and begin again.
Ah, vain, indeed, is the asking! Life's duties press all of us on, And who dare shrink from the labor, Or sigh for the sunshine that's gone? And, it may be, not far before us Wait fairer places than then; Life's paths may yet lead by still waters, Though we may not begin again.
Forevermore upward and onward Be our paths on the hills of life, And soon with a radiant dawning Transfigure the toil and the strife; And our Father's hand will lead us Tenderly upward then; In the joy and peace of a fairer world He'll let us begin again.

“WILL I BE LIKE YOU, PAPA?”

A gentleman who for years has been more or less under the influence of liquor, and whose red nose and bloated figure stamped him as an inebriate, had gone home to his wife and children in this condition. He was not unkind in act or in words. It was his delight to play at games with his little ones, as he was able, and to entertain them with wonderful stories. On this occasion the family were all together in the sitting-room, and the usual games having been played, little Freddie, a lad about six years of age, had climbed upon his father's knee, and was asking all sorts of boyish questions. He talked as a child will—of what he would do when he was a “big man!” asked if he would be like papa then; and finally after a long and serious look into his father's face, with every shade of childish curiosity in his voice and glance, put to him this bewildering query:—
“Papa, when I grow up to be a man, will my nose be red like yours, and my face all swelled?”
Ah! why should that swollen face grow redder than 'twas wont to be? Why should his arms so quickly draw that boy to his breast? And why should tears flow and voice tremble as he replied in words and tone that made his mother's heart glad:—
“No, Freddie, please God, you won't be like me when you get to be a man; and neither will your father, my boy, for from this hour he will lead a sober life.”
“Be like him!” He had not thought of that before, and the bare possibility staggered him. All the love of his father's heart cried out against such a fate. That boy! His pride! going about with a bloated face and poisoned breath? No, no! he was not prepared for that! Never before had he seen his own looks so clearly; they were reflected in the boy's—the boy grown to manhood; and honor, affection, and reason came to the rescue. The child had preached a sermon no orator could deliver; and innocence and ignorance had accomplished what learning and logic had aimed at in vain.
Those words “went home.”—Selected.

The Freedom of Individual Character

By Channing

No process is so fatal as that which would cast all men in one mold. Every human being is intended to have a character of his own, to be what no other is, to do what no other can do. Our common nature is to be unfolded in unbounded diversities. It is rich enough for infinite manifestations. It is to wear innumerable forms of beauty and glory. Every human being has a work to carry on within, duties to perform abroad, influences to exert, which are peculiarly his, and which no other conscience but his own can teach. Let him not enslave his conscience to others, but act with the freedom, strength, and dignity of one whose highest law is in his own breast.—Channing.
