At a Siinoav Soii.ni, celebra
tion at Liberty, Greene Coun
ty, Ga.
Members of Liberty and other
Sunday School?- We of “Fuller,”
bring you greeting and rejoice
with you to day in a common coin
ebrotion of a common cause. En
gaged as we all are, in the same
holy warfare marching under the
same banner of light and love—fol
lowing the same Great Comman
der—battling for “the good, the
beautiful and the true,” it is not
unfitting I think, that wo give ex
pression to feelings of sympathy
and kindly regard—utterance to
words of mutual encouragement
and friendly counsil. Unlike
Crusader and Saracen, who, with
an ardor and enthusiasm unsuro
passed if not unparalleled in the
history of the world, fought with
arm of flesh and sword of steel for
a dominion of questionable advan
tage, we, armed and equipped, we
trust, with the panoply of God, go
forth in the cause of young hu
inanity and living Christianity
against the world, the flesh, and
the Prince of the powers of dark
ness, conquering and to conquer.
We follow a Greater than Richard
of England—he of the “lion heart”
and sinews of iron. We battle
under a holier flag than that under
which the mighty Soldan of the
Orient, at once sovereign and sol
dier, magician and astrologer, led
his Saracenic hosts to victory or to
death. If these would daro to
spill thoir life’s blood in pursuance
of a course dictated by an unen
lightened conscience, then well may
we consent to devote time and tal
ent, money and means, life and
labor, to the cause of the Lion of
the tribe of Judah, even the Lord
of lord? and King of kings. No
eastern potentate e'er held such
sway—no western magnate e'er
wielded such influence—no north
ern chieftain or southern brave o’er
displayed such valor and power as
He whom we recognize as our
Leader, and in whose cause we are
enlisted while labeling in the Sun
day School, and for the promotion
of its iuterosts. We have much
to encourage us. Aside from the
fact that He is our Captain unto
whom hath been given all power
in Heaven and on the earth, and
upon whose victorious banner, de
feat, like a bird of evil, can ne’er
permanently perch its ungainly
form, wo have the satisfaction of
knowing that in the United States
alone, we have thousands, yea,
hundreds of thousands —nay, mil
lions of comrades—companions in
arms—battling for the overthrow
of evil and the establishment of
good—for the subversion of wrong
and the supremacy of right. And
while the children are most im
mediately concerned in this grand
conflict, it is no mere chill’s*play !
It is a work of gigantic propor
tions, nod engages the heads and
hands and hearts of some of the
best and wisest men and women of
our age and country. This lact
itself should be sufficient to inspire
us jvith confidence in the merits of
the cause. That work to which
the wise and good devote their
time and talents, life and labors, is
not apt to bo minor importance.
Recognizing in the Sunday
School a field, the vastness of whose
area, and the abundanco and rich
ness of whose products, are almost
beyond human computation and
estimate, they do not hesitate to
expend their best energies in the
cultivation of its soil and in the
care and training of the rare and
tender plants which are to blossom
and bear fruits of no worldly sour
ness and earthly [ovanascence, but
fruits immortal and celestial put,
ty on<l sweetness.
tre~rrave orunr' tnought that or
all the matters of time and all t! e
missions of men, the training of
the children and youth is the most
important. Upon this hang issues
of the gravest character No ar
gument is necessary to sustain this
assertion. There must be in the
posssssion of every one who has
observed the workings of society at
all enough “stubborn facts” to
substantiate its truth. Every ob
server who has the least capacity
for tracing cause to effect and
effect to cause, must reach the
inevitable conclusion that upon the
proper training of the young de
pend their own happiness and the
success of those social and civil in
stitutions and customs which con
tribute so immeasurably to tho safe
ty and comfort and prosperity of
individuals, communities, common
wealths and nations. The wisest
of men has said: “Train up a child
in the way ho should go. and when
he is old he will not depart from
it.” Another has said with scarce
ly less of truth, “Train up a child
in the way be would go, and when
he is ol 1 he will probably be hanged
Suppose that a stranger from a die
tant planet should some to our earth,
and visit the rural districts of our own
loved southland, and behold the toil
ing millions within her bordeis tilling
the soil, preparing it for the reception
of the various agricultural and liorti
cultural seeds and plants, and see the
planters commit the seeds to the care
fully prepared grounds, and await with
eager interest the germination of the
same, and cultivate the] tender plants
with watchful care and untiring in
dustry until there is anturity in fruit
—rich, russet, and golden —white,
creamy, and fleecy, he would methinks
be constrained to cry out : “Surely
this is the most important of all the
occupants of the inhabitants of this
strange, beautiful world.’’ But he
visits the large manufacturing estab
lishments of New England and the
North, and hears the mighty din and
roar of the vast machinery, witness the
ponderous stroke of the piston, or re„
marks the irresistible force ofhydraul
ic, hydrokinetic, or hydrostatic pres
sure in the whirling of huge cylinders
and the hum and clatter of mighty
looms, and he notices the almost breath
less attention of the hundreds of oper
atives to their several respective tasks
and duties, and sees the thousands of
curious and useful and beautiful arti
cle of manufacture and commerce, and
he concludes that nothing on enrth
can he of greater importance or higher
concern to the people than these mam
moth establishments.
He visit* nur great mctropol.s, pro
ceeds to the ’National Stock Exchange,’
ascends the gallery and looks down up
on an eager, thronging, surging mass of
humanity— countenances aglow
with the light of joy and satisfaction at
the successful issue of some bold finan
cial venture, or darkened by the shades
of gloom and disappointment at the
failure of sorno darling monetary
scheme —he watches the eager, excited
faces, tho earnest attitudes, and wi'd
gesticulations of the buyers and sellers
of stocks and bonds hears a very Ba
bel of confusion of voices arising, in
distinguishable. from hundreds of ar
dent, anxious talkers and seekers after
wealth, while fortuoes of thousands and
tens of thousands are being made and
lost with the rapidity of the changing
freaks and caprices of the fickle god
dess herself. The astooishud guest
exclaims: ‘Surely this is the most im
portant business among men ’
But ho continues his tour—he vis*
its the mining districts of the “Pacific
Slope” and mountainous regions of the
West—co cn tern plates the powerful en
ginery brought into requisition to car
ty forward the extensive operations of
mining companies, and witness moun
tains romnved as it wjre by magic or
by giant hands, and gazes upon the
arduous exertions of the deicer* for
the precious particles of g!d and sil
ver that lie embodied in baser sub
stance, and he secs their faces light up
with exultant joy at the finding of
some nugget of an unusual numbor of
n ,*>> --<1 l ‘ **•— * •
“Certainly, this is the great work of
greatest moment to the people of earth
His tour of inspection continues.
He goes to the field of battle, 'i wo
“loud contending” armies are engaged
in deadly conflict. The thunder of
the artillery, the roar of the musketry,
tbe shouts and yells of the living as
they rush on with the ‘fury of desper
ation' to join in the death struggle
with their fellow men the groans and
cries of’ the dying as weltering in their
lifes blood, they are trodden under leet
of maddened men and hoofs of fiery
* eeds as they rush here and there and
dash hither am? thither in wild confu
sion amid the scene of carnage and
smoke of battle. These things serve to
fill the minds of the stranger with hor
ror and amazement, and he cries out:
“Now I know that nothing pertaining
to earth ran so thoroughly arouse the
souls of men and awaken them to such
lively action and such tremendous ex
ertions as this matter of war, and
therefore war must be the most impor
tant of all the employments of the peo
ple of earth.’ But, were I his guide.
1 would have him proceed farther—
[ would have him visit the thousand
and one institution of learning—lyce
ums of philosophy, science, art, and
literature —dotting (he hills and vales
and groves and plains of the civilized
world, and I would explain to him
that it is here that men are qualified
tor the stern duties of life, that their
mental resounes are developed and
made Ituown to themselves, that it is
here that they learn the theories and
principles of the arts of war and peace
of agriculture and horticulture, of
architecture and manufacture, of sur
veying and engineering, of navigation
and commerce, of stock and mining, of
military tacticts and political economy,
of civil jurisprudence and medical sci
ence. of painting and poetry, of music
and sculpture, of eloqutiou and orato
ry and the more comroou, yet wonder
ful arts of reading, writing, and calcu
lating. The truth readily addresse
itself to his mind that with ut these
every other interest which engages the
attention of men must, from sheer ne
cessity, languish and fail. But I would
have him go farther still, I would ex
plain to him that here is in human nas
lure a principle of evil which ever tends
to predominate over the cood tha; is
iu it, aud to degrade and disqualify
men for the grave and enormous and
active duties of life ; and that uoless
there be some counteracting influence
of a divine nature, this evil principle
vviil so rankle and tlot in the hearts
and minds of uieu as to almost efiee'-
ually destroy their working cnpicity in
any and all the fields of human labor
and usefulness, and ultimately traos
form (hem into brutes and demons. I
would then point him to the churches
of tlie land which so significantly lift
their tall steeples nod spires toward
Heaven, and I would tell hiui that
within these sacred precincts is heard
truth more powerful for the subversion
of wrong than the sword, is heard elo*
quence grander and more sublime than
tho thunders of war’s artillery; and
hurled projectiles more effective than
were ever sped from “Krupps” or “Oat
lings” 1 I would tell him that these
are the earthly temples of tho ettrna]
God, and from them, a* from living
fountains, issue streams antiseptic to
the moral and social virtues of the uior
al and social virtues of tho world —em
anate floods of light and principles of
life which serve to illuminate and iu
vigoratc the darkness and perishing
souls of the children of earth ! He
would not be slow, I think, to reoo<.a
nize and acknowledge the exceeding
great, importance of the church mili
tant. I would then hid him hearken
to the silvery chimes of the sweet-toned
Sabbath fells as they call forth from
the stately mansions of the rich and the
humble cottages of the poor from the
hedges and highways and streets and
byways—scores and fifties, and hun*
dreds. and thousands of children to
the Sunday school—there to receive
into the fertile soil of their young
hearts and souls seeds of blessed, eter
nal truth—thereto delve and hoard
away on the eoffer9 of their young
minds the nuggets and shining parti
tieles of eternal wisdom, there to for
tify their young spirits with the pro
onis unJ (buormet of divine truth
against thc'poisoned inTeseia mV vm
from the murky confines of the king
dom of Darkness, that they may become
the sons as plants grown up in their
youth, the daughters, as corner stones
polished after the similitude of a pal
ace. And I would remind him that
these constituted the nursery of the
| church from ich almost alone the
trees arc drawn and tran*plnntcd into
! the orchard ol thq church, there to
bring forth good fruit, some thirty,
some sixty, and someone hundred fold.
Methinks the visitant, remembering
that the child is father to tho man,
would now exclaim : Surely, of ail the
institutions of earth, none can equal
the Sabbath school, for its importance
is transcendent.
Then let each and all of us eulisted
in the ranks of the grand Sunday
School army take courage and. prepare
for more glorious conquests than have
ever yet been achieved. Let us seek
to advance the Sunday School interest
until the children and youth all over
this broad land, and in every land and
every clime beneath the sun, shall
learn and love the word of God, whose
“entrance giveth light,” and which is
quick and powerful, ami sharper than
any two-edged sword, piercing even to
the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
and of the joints and marrow, and is a
disccrner of the thoughts and intents
of the heart. And when once, through
the instrumentality of devoted leath
er*, the blessed truths of “Holy Writ”
are instilled iuto the mind and con
ference of the child-world —when its
wholesoma lessons and doctrines are
sung iQto the very penetralia of the
soul of childhood, the sweet music of
its soul, like that of the sea-shell, will
breath perpetually, and will serve to
delight the spiritual tympaoa of un
born millions. And then the skeptic
and scoffer may as well attempt to
sweep with abloom of straw the sud
shine from the face of the earth as to
try to obscure by their puny efforts
the floodtida of golden light that shall
usher in the millennium, and shall
glndden and purify and invigorate and
inspire the hearts of all the ohildroD
of men ! We Lid you God speed !

fare of Inf.ints in Slot
Hralltrr.
It is on undisputed fact that the
summer is tho most critical period
in the livet of infants and young
children, and lienee the following,
which wo find in tho Now !ork Sa
nitarian, will he road with great
interest by parents:
I. An infant should not he wean
ed between May 1 and October I
if it can be avoided.
11. All children under two years
old should, if possible, be taken to
the country during hot weather.
IH. The great mortality among
infants is mainly due to diarrhoeH
diseases caused by errors in diet,
beat and impure air, Beware of
overfeeding; it is not necessary io
feed nr. infant to quench thirst; a
little pure cool water or barley w.s
ter js often much belter for the
child than milk.
IV. Feed the child at regular
i iterv. Is—every two or tl r;e hours
until it is a month or two old, after,
that every three or four hours, and
during the night less ofton. Do
not nllow the child to go to sleep
while nursing.
V. Do not use any patent in
fant foods except when prescribed
by a physician. Do not use any
complicated nursing bottles having
tubes and joints unless precautions
are taken as to cleanliness. A
common twelve ounce bottle with a
nipple of black rubber is satisfacto
ry. As soon as used, the bottle
nipple should be thoroughly
ri i&od anj then kept entirely un>
(Jer wateT. > - 0 -:
They should never be allowed to
get dry.
VI. The food for infants {recom
mended by tho Now York Board of
Health is the best and cheapest
It is prepared as follows; “Boil a
teaspoonful of powdered bailey
(ground in coffee grinder) in half
a pint of water, with a little salt,
for fifteen minutes, strain and mix
it with half as much boiled milk,
add a lump of white sugar size of a
walnut, and give it lukewarm. For
infants five or six months old girt
have barley water and half boiled
milk. For infants very costive uso
oat meal instead of barley, oooking
and straining as above.
VII. Give well children an all
over wash or bath with cool water
twico a day. Give thorn as much
fresh air as possible that in a sud
den fall of temperature they do not
get chilled. Light flannel cloth*
ing next to the skin is better than
co ton.
VIII. Beware of bad smells
about tie bouse, but remember
that it i9 not the smell itself that ii
dangerous, but what it is a sign
of, and therefore try to discover
and remove the cause of the smell,
whether it 1 e a leaky soil pipe, a
foul sink or garbage box, a filthy
cellar, or gutter, or yard or what
not.
IX. If the child has diarrhoea,
consult a physician at once, and do
not waste time with domestic
remedies.
X. Let those who have no
children to care for, try to help
the thousands who have, hut are
too poor to give them a chance for
life, by taking them where they*
can have a few hours enjoyrpetU O.f
