A Warning to Methodists.

By P. Strong

“There is some reason to fear that our preachers and people will yet fall into the spirit of the times, and become as weak as some others. We live in an age when the spirit of the world is making great inroads into the church. Our country offers so many facilities for becoming wealthy, and our republican institutions open so many avenues to distinction and honor, that we can scarcely hope to preserve our original simplicity. Wealth will create splendid and costly churches, and these will require popular preachers; under these circumstances the spirit of piety and devotion, which once characterized us, may decline. A generation may rise up by whom class-meetings may not be appreciated, and formality may take the place of true devotion, and the more popular and shining virtues of a Christian’s character may take the place of a self-denying and cross-bearing life.

“But if Methodism fails to accomplish the object for which God introduced it, he will no doubt raise up some other people, and other instrumentalities, to carry forward his merciful designs.”—Life of Rev. T. Spicer, p. 259.

Has not the day of this minister’s fears come? Costly edifices, which, in many cases, debar the poor, for whom Christ died, from attending worship, are raised up, and we see now an office seeking, and pleasure loving ministry.

And again, is not God calling on his people to return and inquire after the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein? Jer. 6:16. P. STRONG.

Putting a Cooper’s Pipe Out.

The late Rev. Thomas Collins was a model tract-distributor, being instant in season and out of season. He often traveled in smoking-cars, in order to have a wider field for doing good. In his interesting memoir, recently published, we find that he describes some incidents of one on his journeys:

“In the train, I presented a New Testament to a soldier; he received it gladly, and I was pleased to see that he caught my meaning at once when I called it ‘a sword.’”

“A cooper got in at an early station, and without an apology, lighted his pipe. After a little introductory talk, I submitted for his consideration whether the cost of that cloudy gratification would not send a child to school; and whether that would not be a better outlay, as it would confer a benefit that would last forever.

“He said: ‘I never thought of that, but it is true. So, out goes the pipe, and here’s for the child.’”

“‘Do you mean that? Will you give up the practice?’”

“‘To be sure I will, and send the young one to school.’”

“‘I am so glad to have put your pipe out. Will you oblige me by the gift of the cast-off thing?’”

“‘Certainly, sir; here it is.’ So with joy I brought the trophy home.”

Reader, would not the money you spend on cigars and tobacco go a great way toward increasing the comfort of your family? Will you not “put your pipe out” for their sake?—Good News.

PHYLACTERIES

Professor Hitchcock, of the Union Theological Seminary, is a member of the American Branch of the Palestine Exploration Society, and has brought back from the Holy Land, among other curiosities, some well-preserved phylacteries, which are thus described by the Evening Post:

Phylacteries—the common Greek word for amulets—were worn very generally by the Jews at the commencement of the Christian era. They consist of a narrow strip of parchment, about eighteen inches long, on which are carefully written in unrolled Hebrew, four passages from the Old Testament—(Exod. 13: 2–10, 11–17; Deut. 6: 4–9, and 13–22). The strip is rolled up, and placed in a little leathern box, one inch and a half square, which is then bound to the left elbow by cow-hide straps, half an inch wide, and long enough to be wound spirally about the arm down to the base of the middle finger. There is a smaller phylactery for the forehead, the box for which is scarcely an inch square. It has also a leathern fillet, which is tied at the back of the head, and then brought around to the breast.

When Christ reproved the Pharisees for making broad their phylacteries (Matt. 23: 5), he doubtless alluded to their custom of increasing this smaller box, so as to make its diameter three or four inches, and conspicuously wearing it over the eyes to attract the attention of the multitude. The original use of these phylacteries was, probably, to serve as reminders of the law. Except by the Pharisees, who paraded them on all occasions, they were worn only at times of prayer.

Minnesota.

Our round of quarterly meetings is now closed. Our last was at Maiden Rock. We labored in this place about two weeks. Some that were on the background took their stand with God's people once more. The cause of truth is gaining ground in general. There is a good interest in this vicinity to hear the great facts connected with our faith.

The cause in Minnesota Conference never was in a better condition than now. Never did we feel more like laboring to advance the cause of truth than at the present time. Our meetings have been well attended, and some of them have been large.

There has been one cause of regret growing out of neglect on the part of some, in not attending these meetings better prepared to take care of themselves.

On the arrival of Bro. Canright in this State, we shall hold two general meetings before the commencement of tent season. We want to see a general attendance on the part of the brethren; but come prepared to take care of yourselves as far as possible. Bedding, victuals, and horse feed, should not be forgotten. By thus caring for yourselves, our brethren and sisters in the vicinity of these meetings will be blessed with the enjoyment and benefits of these gatherings.

North Jay, Me.

By M. B. Patterson

In this portion of the town of Jay are found a few who love “present truth,” some of whom have been trying to obey all God’s commandments for quite a number of years, and have also been doing what they could to instruct and benefit those around them.

It will be remembered by some that a church organization was perfected here under the labors of Bro. Loughborough some years since, and although there have been many changes since that time, caused by removals and otherwise, yet the foundation remains firm to the present. They attend to their Systematic Benevolence, distribute books and tracts, visit to instruct, &c.

I came to this place Feb. 14, by invitation, and was heartily welcomed by the Lord’s waiting ones. I found the way well opened to hold meetings in a school-house in the vicinity, as might be expected from what I have already stated, and commenced the 16th. These meetings were continued until the 10th of March, with the exception of two evenings. A few, as the result, are prayerfully searching the word; and there is good reason to hope that with the assistance that will be given them by strong brethren who are interested for them, they will soon yield to obey God and heartily connect themselves with those who make all God’s commandments and the faith of Jesus the sure foundation upon which to build. Two brethren who have been in a backslidden state, have recently confessed their wrong doings and commenced anew to serve the Lord.

I am to go to Livermore Falls next week to hold meetings if a hall or the school-house can be obtained, as there are some there who have been interested in the truths we teach from the time the tent was in that place.

Come, brethren and sisters, praying the Lord to be with us, to bless us, to guide us in all our deliberations for the spread of the truth on this coast. Come prepared to stay till the meetings close. Make your calculations. Lay your plans before hand. Let nothing hinder your attending this annual gathering.

If our brethren in Sonoma Co. will bring blankets, &c., the church in Santa Rosa will furnish house room, and do what they can to entertain the brethren and sisters.

We hope every church and individual in California will have their S. B. account squared up to the first of April so that this State Meeting may present a clean record. Bro. Cornell expects to return East immediately after this State Meeting. So this will be your last opportunity of hearing him for the present. May the Lord bless us and work for us as we strive to learn and do his will.

It was voted at our last State Meeting to have a camp-meeting this spring; but, as our churches by vote release that obligation, we appoint the above, and leave camp-meeting until Bro. and sister White come. J. N. Loughborough, ) Com. of Cal. M. G. Kellogg. } State Meeting.

Canright’s History and Farmer Wanted

The Bible Banner, of N. Y. City, speaks as follows of Bro. Canright’s work on the History of the Doctrine of the Immortality of the Soul:— “This little work is full of valuable information. It has no superfluous pages. The Author treats his subject plainly, pointedly, vigorously. The last twenty pages are compiled by D. T. Taylor. We know of no work on the historical bearings of this question which we could more heartily recommend.”

Bro. A. B. Williams, of Clinton, Rock Co., Wis., in consequence of ill health wishes to secure the services of a good practical farmer for five or six months. Single man preferred.

News and Miscellany.

“Can ye not discern the signs of the times?”

By well authenticated statistics, Mr. Barrows shows that in the United States there are paid annually one hundred and twenty-nine millions of dollars more for intoxicating drinks than for flour, meal, cotton and woolen goods, boots and shoes, books, newspapers and other printed matter.

The New Regulations in Regard to Newspapers.—Postmaster General Creswell has directed the new regulation on newspapers sent by mail to be strictly enforced. No name or memorandum can be made on a newspaper inside of the wrapper on which the address is written. It is barely permissible to mark an article with pen or pencil. More than this subjects the paper to letter postage; and the violator of this law to a fine. No printed card, hand-bill, or advertisement, nor written notice, letter or slip of any kind whatsoever must be folded in the paper. To do any of these things is to violate the law. Printed slips pasted on the outside, or folded in papers or periodicals, soliciting notices, are also violations of the law. Senders of transient papers can send bundles of printed matter by weight or transient postage charges, but must not send any written matter in such bundles.

England has six new iron-clads launched, and a certain party of her people are very anxious to know what the United States intend to do about that treaty. Whether there is any connection between this feeling and that fact, we will not attempt to say; but the existence of the feeling is shown by the eager promptness of Mr. Disraeli’s inquiry of the government in Parliament, on the 14th, on the subject of Mr. Fish’s reply. Mr. Gladstone was not able to appease the Tory leader’s anxiety.

Bismarck has made another movement on the works of His Infallible Holiness. We read in a Berlin telegram that the Prussian government has “requested” a bishop of the Roman Church to revoke a sentence of ex-communication which had been pronounced, and which the civil authority deems “contrary to the law of the country.” “So much the worse for the laws of the country!” would have been the remark from Rome in such a case fifty years ago; but such a remark would be untimely now.

“Among the elegant forms of insect life, there is a little creature known to naturalists, which can gather around it a sufficiency of atmospheric air, and so clothed upon descend into the bottom of the pool. There you may see the little diver moving about dry and at his ease, protected by his crystal vesture, though the water all around and above be stagnant and bitter. Prayer is such a protector, a transparent vesture, the world sees it not; but it is a real defense; it keeps out the world, realizing for us what it is to be in the world, yet not of the world.”

The name of Michigan was originally given by the Chippewa tribe of Indians, who occupied most of the area of the State. It was, in the original, Mitchaw Sagiegah meaning “Mighty Lake-land.”

“The Sheriff broke up a baptism on the banks of the Ohio at Cairo, saying that the water was too cold, and if the minister persisted, he would prosecute him for murder.”

Camp-meetings.

By James White; Uriah Smith

As the General Conference committee have come to no definite plan relative to the camp-meetings of the season, we take the liberty to suggest.

1. That a camp-meeting be held in Indiana, May 17-22, at which time a State Conference for Indiana be organized, according to the recommendation of Gen. Conference. The Mich and Ind. Conference presents an objectionable length of territory north and south, in the absence of direct railroad lines.

2. That a camp-meeting be held in Michigan the week following, at which time the Mich. Conference and Health Reform Institute hold their annual sessions.

3. That the western camp-meetings be held in the month of June. The brethren in the different Western States selecting time and place to suit their convenience best. Two or more of these camp-meetings could be held at the same time.

The Health Institute.

By James White

HAVING spent a few weeks at the Health Reform Institute at Battle Creek, Mich., as a patient, we are better qualified to speak relative to its superior advantages.

1. It is located in the most pleasant, healthful, and delightful part of our proverbially neat and enterprising city. The grounds are high, so that a few hours' sun, in the absence of snow, always makes the walks and roads, in and about the grounds, as dry as in mid summer. This is very important to all those invalids who have strength to move out in the open air, in the light of the sun. Already the roads and walks are dry and dusty (March 29), although they rest upon two feet of solid frost in the ground, and are in sight of snow banks. The grounds are ample, and a large portion of them are covered with shade and ornamental trees.

2. The Board of Directors have, during the past two years, added, by purchase, building, repairs, refitting, &c., more than one half to the facilities of rooming and treating patients, so that they have good accommodations for not less than one hundred patients in their own buildings, with means at their command of providing for half as many more.

3. Rooms are large, well ventilated, and pleasant. We believe them to be better furnished than at any other large institution of the like in our country.

4. The rooms and facilities for baths have been increased, and from personal knowledge of the baths given at this institution and those of several others, we do not hesitate to state our firm convictions that at no other institution of the kind in our country has the bathing system reached that perfection as at the Health Reform Institute at Battle Creek. Baths at this institute, are given with a faithfulness, thoroughness, and care for the best good of the patient such as we have not witnessed at any other place.

5. Movement Cure. At this Institute is a well-furnished room for giving the various movements, which have proved so beneficial in restoring a certain class of invalids to health. Especial attention is given to this very important branch.

6. Lift Cure. There is also in use at this Institute a lifting machine from which patients can receive all that benefit that can be derived from any other. This is an important accession to the facilities of this Institution.

7. Hot Air Bath. This is very important in cases of rheumatism and diseases of a like nature.

8. It is not the policy of the conductors of the Health Reform Institute to keep the patients long on expense; but rather to cure them as soon as possible and send them home well to advertise for them, and send their feeble friends to the Institute to receive the benefits in which they rejoice.

9. Last, but not least, are the plain practical lectures given almost daily by the physicians of the Institute, the great object of which is to teach patients how to get well, and how to keep well after they have recovered.

One great object of the managers of this Institute is to secure a high-toned and healthy, moral, and religious influence, entirely free from the loose tendencies which characterize some popular institutions of the kind in our country. The physicians, directors and helpers at this Institution, aim to be true Christian gentlemen and ladies; and while they would manifest to patients, laborers, and visitors of other religious belief that liberality in denominational tenets which they would ask themselves, at the same time they feel it their duty to urge upon all who profess to be the followers of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they manifest the spirit of true Christianity.

The Spring season is opening beautifully, and is just the time for sick people to employ those means necessary to the recovery of health.

Hospitality at the Hygienic Institute

J. J. Peret, proprietor of a Hygienic Institute in Lafayette, Ind., invites any Sabbath-keeper passing through the place to call for rest and refreshment.

To Correspondents.

By Editor

J. E. GREEN. When Christ commenced his ministry he was about thirty years of age. Luke 3: 23. His ministry lasted three years and a half; for he attended four passovers, and was crucified at the last one. John 2: 13; 5, 1; 6: 4; 13: 1. His age may therefore be put at thirty-three years and six months, at the time of his crucifixion.

The account called Anno Domini, or the Christian Era, was the invention of Dionysius Exiguus, A. D. 532. The era did not begin to be much used till A. D. 730, and did not come into general use till A. D. 1141. Dionysius, from the best evidence he could obtain, placed our Lord’s nativity in the year 753 of the Roman era, at that time in use. It has since been ascertained that Christ was born about four years previous to this date. But as it makes no material difference in the reckoning of time, the point fixed by Dionysius has never been disturbed.

P. POTTER. We think the last clause of Acts 1: 25 refers to Judas.

T. H. S. The lines on Courage treat upon a difficult theme, and are commendable for a first attempt. We would counsel perseverance. You will improve by practice.

W. H. The “Dream of New Year’s Eve,” contains some good sentiments, but the meter is defective.

Stealing by Streetcar Conductors

A very curious and extended statement is made in the Evening Post, showing that the conductors of cars, as a general thing, are expected to steal enough to pay extra to the driver, the starter, the receiver, amounting to more than his own wages, so that he has to steal enough to pay himself besides. And it is said that all this is known to the proprietors, who are satisfied with the enormous profits that remain after the great sums abstracted by conductors, and drivers, and the rest.

The Counsel of Virtuous Friends

NEXT to the immediate guidance of God by his Spirit, the counsel and encouragement of virtuous and enlightened friends afford the most powerful aid in the encounter of temptation and in the career of duty.

Intemperance.

The following is that part of the united pastoral letter of the Bishops read at the close of the recent General Episcopal Convention, which refers to the question of intemperance. It deserves to be heeded:

“The great and destructive sin of intemperance claims our anxious notice. That sin, as all must see and lament, is growing in our land. It can be met only by such distinct pastoral warnings and examples, and by such lessons and habits of self-denial in the home, as will train and keep the people of Christ, young and old, faithful to the vows of their high vocation. Wherefore, Christian fathers and Christian mothers, ask yourselves, earnestly and honestly, how far the nurture and admonition which your children are receiving at your hands, in this worldly age, “are the nurture and admonition of the Lord;” how far the pleasures and associations encouraged and allowed are compatible with the life of God in the soul of man; how far the books permitted to be read, and the ideas cherished in the minds of children, are leading them to “seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness;” and, therefore, how far you are discharging, toward those whom God has given you, that household priesthood which exalts your position as parents, and commensurately increases your responsibility. If you are faithful to this solemn trust, then all the holier interests of society are sure to feel the benefits of your fidelity. But if you are unfaithful, not only will your sin be visited on those who are dearest to you, but worldliness, like a flood, will sweep away all that God has made our most precious heritage in his Holy Church. Of the effect of this on our country it is not necessary that we should speak. Fearful indications of coming judgments are already before us. The history of empires during the past year is a warning which need not be expounded that swift destruction which nations, as well as individuals, may bring upon their own heads from a patient but just Creator.”
