Grayer for the Million.
We cannot give the author of this
prayer for the million,” but it is beautiful.
God of the mountain, God of the storm ;
God of the flowers, God of the worm ;
Hear us and bless us:
Forgive us, redress us ;
Breathe on our spirits Thy love and Thy
healing.
Teach us content with tin’ fatherly dealing;
Teach us to love thee.
To love another—brother his brother,
And make us all free.
Free from the shackles of ancient tradition,
And show us ’tis manly, ’tis God-iike to
labor.
God of the darkness, God of the sun;
God of the beautiful, God of each one ;
Clothe us and feed u«,
Illume us and lead us.
Show us that avarice holds us in thrall
That the lan 1 is all Thine, and Thou givest
to all.
Scatter our blindness,
Help us to do right ail the day and the
night—
To love mercy and kindness.
Aid us to conquer mistakes of the past;
Show us our future to cheer us and arm us.
The upper, the better, the mansions Thou
hast,
And God of the grave that the grave can
not harm us.

St. Louis M. E. Conference on Stimu
lants.
The following is the report of the Com
mittee of said Conference on Temperance
and Narcotic stimulants*.
Wc affirm in the language of our Discip
line that “Drunkeness, Luying or selling
spirituous liquors, or drinking them, unless
in cases of extreme necessity,” is inconsis
tent with a profession of religion, and is the
source of untold injury to society.
We refer with satisfaction to the success
of Temperance legislation in the State of
Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, as a well direc
ted assault on the liquor traffic; and we
advise the members of ourchnrch to heart
ily co-operate withall friends of temper
ance that like legislation may be secured
in the State of Missouri. But we are con
vinced that entire prohibition should he the
watohword of all Christian mtn. The min
isters of the Conference are urged to preach
on temperance and to aid this reform in
every way consistent with their profession.
We do not doubt that all narcotics and
stimulants, such as tobacco, opium, coffee
and tea, and in different degrees hurtful to
health, and may be properly classified as
needless self-indulgence, from which all
denying Christians may we'l abstain, follow
ing the example of many great names in
the church.
We offer the following resolution :
Resolved, That we favor a call for a State
Temperance Convention and recommend
our preachers and members to do all in
their power to forward such movement.

Let the order of Good Tempiars be a
calm, sweet realm. Hers be the green pas
tures and still waters; hers the ways of
ple isantneas and the paths of peace. The
garden she tills is the human heart, and
the seeds which she scatters will bear their
fruit in Heaven. Here is not the pomp of
science, the splendor of genius, the glitter
of wealth; with her pale finger she points
to annals of the past, and they all become
as chaff upon the bosom of the wind, yet
she stops not here. Speaks she now in
tones as solemn as u midnight bell, of the
nothingness of human greatness. Listen
again, and ye shall bear the clarion voke
proclaiming aloud that human virtue never
dies. Appears sire now with the shadows
of death upon one hand and the history of
the world upon the other, to teach how
painful is human ambition and h?w sense-
Icss the love of self!
Ix>ok again and ye shall behold her de
scending upon her angel pinions of love and
charity, to gather the entire human family
beneath their ample folds.
Comes she now in the shape of a hoary
philosopher, worn and bent with yeats.
Lo! she comes again in the shape of a
ministering angel, with smiles of sympathy
and tears of mty, to the abode of want and
the hou.-e of death.
Os Offenses.--I never knew anyone
more forward to take offense than such as
were most apt to give it; nor any more
hardly brought to bear with the fai’ingsOf
others, than such a< stood in the greatest
need to have both God and man bear with
no small things amiss in themselves,
*.*._
In vouth you must lay in a stock of
knowledge which nun curry you
through life, whatever your nfter-pur
«uits may be, with usefulness and hon
or. But recollect this is not to lx?
done without exertion, without the
fivqu< t.t sacrifice of momentary pleas
ure and gratification. Self-denial is a
virtue of the highest quabty, and he
who has it not, and do< s not strive to
acquire it. will never excel in any thing.

I thank you for the opportunity of ex
pressing my opinion of the great value of
the New American and Annual Cijclopeedia.
I own the work and have it with me here,
and am in the habit of consulting it every
day to my very great advantage. It is
most admirable.
J. L. MOTLEY,
U. S. Min. to the Court of St. James.
Philadelphia, Nov. 1, 1869.
I consider the NewAmericanCyclopnedia,
published by D. Appleton <fc Co., vastly
superior for the American reader to any
other Cyclopaedia now before the public.
REV. BISHOP SIMPSON.
Boston, Oct, 25, 1869.
I own Appletons’s Cyclopaedia and vse it
constantly. It should be in every library,
public and private—! would say in every
bouse, within reach of every family. The
young should use it.
J CHARLES SUMNER.
New York, Oct. 25, 1869.
I use the New American Cyclopaedia
every day, genertlly many times a day. I
think it the best work of the kind In existence.
It is singular’y well suited to families, lhe
children who grow up in a house where
there is a copy of it within re*ch. cun hard
ly escape beebming well-informed persons.
1 value it very highly, and am glad of this
opportunity of testifying my gratitude.
JAMES PARTON.
Macon, Feb, 15, 1870.
If my approbation can in any way recom
mend such a work, I do not hesitate to de
clare that I believe it to be the best sub
stitute for a library now within the reach
of men of moderate means and a wellnigh
indispensable addition to the shelves of
every man who wishes to be able to under
stand the subjects that are continually
brought forward in the business and inter
course of daily life.

I can readily, and do cheerfully bear tes
timony to the great value of Cyclopaedia of
Messrs. Appleton as being vastly superior
to any extant, whether European or Amer
ican. I trust you will be successful in dif
fusing generally, throughout the South one
of the most valuable by far of all collections
of the kind —a library—a very world of
books in itself. It will supply to thousands
the means of study and knowledge for
which thousands of other books would be
searched in vain.

Appleton’s Cyclopaedia is unquestionably
the best popular manual of general refer

GEO. W. CURTIS.
Washington, Nov. 12, 1869
Dear Sir : 1 quite agree with Mr. Cur
tis that the New American Cyclopaedia is
‘the beat manual for reference fbr an
American,’ The annual continuations are
also of great value.
8. P. CHASE.
It is the very best Cyclopaedia for practi
cal use ever published. By skillful selec
tion and compression, and sedulous
avoidance of mere show and verbal e, room
is found for an immense amount of the lat
est information, put forth clearly, carefully
and accurately. The book embodies and
adequately represents tne ability and
knowledge available at thus day for a work
of the kind. — Letter from the lion. Theoph
