Mr. Muller, at the head of the largest orphan institution In England, and of numerous other benevolent agencies, lias been prominently liefore the pub lic for more than forty years. If any statement, of his, made continuously for all that time, were untrue, the world, that delights to scan tlio faiths of Christians, would long since huve proclaimed it. During all this time, lie has always said that he never asked u contribution from any living indi vidual. Were the statement false, in the sense In which ho makes it, and in which it is generally understood, that falsehood would long since have lieen proclaimed upon the housetop*. That the sight of; his buildings, that the statements in his reports, that the knowledge of the large number of his orphans, do stimulate donors to con tribute, there can ha no doubt; but that he erects Ills buildings or publishes reports to this cud, there is little evi denoe. Such reports are published to give the history of a year that has passed away. The contributions caused by such reports are an indirect result. During the year 1874 Mr. Muller re ceived S207,000; and by moans of tills sutn he has supported 2,2(11 orphans, carried on 95 schools in Spain, (South America, India, and England; has supported in whole or in part 189 mis sionaries in China, the East Indies, Hpain, the United State* and England; lias distributed in these countries 4<t,000 Billies or parts of ft Bible, and circu lated nearly four millions of tracts ami books. This is only one year's work of a man seventy years or ago, without a cent of his own, without a cent of' Invested funds, distributing the ohnri ties the church of Christ so freely sonds him. Whatever it may or may not prove of the power of prayer, it cer tainly shows the ooufijenon of the Christians of Great Britain and the world in him when they send him such large sums. Depending so much on answers to prayer, a large part of his time is spent In the closet. If any man should pro fess that he hod so much to do that lie could not find time to pray, it would be George Muller; hut nothing keeps him from making known his wants by sup, plication. He often uses ejaculatory prayer; but when the usual hour are rives, he always retires, The clay fee. gins with the reading of the scriptures and private prayer, when all objects that especially interest him are faith fully presented before a throne of grace. Next comes family prayer. Leaving the family altar, husband and wife kneel together for thanksgiving and for the wants of the day. When the trials press, they pray together again after dinner; and in times of groat difficulty this Is repeated once or twice in the afternoon. And always at the close of the day’s work, an a part of an hour, but a whole one—is given to prayer. At this last season, they bring before God fifty or more point*, persons, or circumstances, on which they ask the divine blessing. George Muller does not stand ajoue in his power of prayer. Fraiickc pre ceded him with a work equally great in a day of much smaller spiritual things; Lewis Harms, whom Prof. Park, of Andover, says, “I never saw a man so wonderful, so much like a being of another world and a superior race;” Gossner, Wicliem, Cullis, have all been our contemporaries and all baveiiad great power with God. They have each accomplished much good; but back of the ‘act of what they have done, lies the greater fact, if their state ment may tie believed, that God lias given them, in answer to prayer, the moneys they have asked for. Franeke so pi Kir ted two thousand orphans and laid tlie foundations of several cduca .tionai and charitable institutions, all of which, at the ripe old age of a cen tury and a half, still survive with all their original usefulness. Gossner and Harms each sent out over one hundred foreign missionaries; yet all three were poor men, without oue cent of proper ty. living by faith on the promises of God. The same assertion may be made of Muller, or of Franeke, Gossner, and Harms. Ho always maintains that the sums he has received have come at the time and in the amount that lie has asked. It may be said that his statement may bo true, mid yet that tlio facte only show a series of coinci dences, remarkable indeed, but%||bjfet to ordinary law. But tho peculiarity of tills series of facte is that they in variably follow prayer,nskingfoi those very fuels. Coincidences do not main tain themselves in unbroken sequence for nearly half n century. God’s hand is doubtless hidden in second causes; but these second causes have occurred in un vary lug regularity us they have been prayed for. And the eye of faith,, lieholding these contributions flowing in from ail parts of the world, delights to see In them countless events, pro ceeding in harmony with ordinary aifUirs, in harmony also with the free dom of the human will, yet all tending toward one up pointed centre, that God's promises may be fulfilled. There is something in the long train of these facts that Is more than remarkable. They are only explicable on the theory that He who has premised to grant is also able to fulfill. A <1(100 I'HiXC. 'Waterman, of tlio LaGrange Repor ter, has a habit of dropping good tilings from tlio point of bis pen. The follow jug is good enough .to lie embalmed, iulii we trust it will be. At any rate, we give it a start in the direction of 1 mmortality. Referring to the denun ciatory epithet—“ Confederate Con gress”—which, liecause of tlio cx-Con foderates iu.it, the Radical papers are so fond of hurling at the liody now as sembled at Washington, maim* tlieib-’-' lowing palpalii* hit: They are not there hy Uieir own will; not at all. erected a neat little government of their own, which was altogether “Confederate;” it was a daring, noble, self-sacrificing govern ment —a government which mode as heroic a struggle for independence as ever gloried the pages of history. Why, bless you, warlike brethren of the Northern press, it was the fault of your people entirely that tlio govern ment was demolished, niul that we “Confederates” are forced hack Into the Union. We would not have been in it to-day, anil the hateful “Confederates” would not be in your Congress, but for your physical superiority. We stayed out as long as we could; we managed to put several hundred thousand, more or lea*, of you r best i nj(sirted European s under the (busies—with here and there a few natives; we fought, and fought, and lought until wo could fight no more. Then wc had to go buck be eausmvou. who were our conquerors, forced us. If our presence is distaste ful, blame yourselves. If you do not want us to mingle with you and have a share in the government, why did you not let us stay out of your detest able old Union when we went out? We'd have been happy enough If you had let us alone. The Waynesboro Expositor of a re cent date has tlie following: Well, the Legislature lias adjourned and no dog law passed. ’Tis a good thing to be a dog—jt relieves one of many responsi bilities. If you were to go out and kill two or three of your neighbor’s sheep you’d be snatched up and sent to the pen 1 tenUary-,tj)nt is to say, if you were not a dog; but if you were a dog, why, the case would be entirely differ ent, and you’d lie protected. We heard a gentleman say, a day or two ago, that lie would put 250 sheep on his place, if it were not that the dogs would destroy them in a short time. And this is the way our State is legis lated into poverty and her resources crippled! Don Pedro 11., the Emperor of Bra, zll, and the Empress Teresa Christina, will leave for the United States on April 1, witli a numerous retinue and $1,000,000 pocket money. The Phila delphians expect to relieve his Majesty of about $500,000 during his stay in their city, An Emperor does not come along every (jay, apd the pres ence of Don Pedro will be a godsend to the snobbery that will congregate by thousands in Philadelphia. The saying that the good die young seems to gain some additional strength in the demise of Mrs. Rogue, of Mex ico, who has just passed her 120th year. WASHINGTON, GA„ FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1876. WESLBXdN mi'niouis.u. We find in tlie last number of Lit toll'a Living Age an admirable article on Wesleyan Methodism. It is from the pen of Mr. Davies, an Englishman, and u member of the Established Church in England. Tlie writer does full justice to Methodism, acknowledg ing the vast good it lias wrought and Us potential spread wherever the Anglo Saxon race is found on the habitable globe. And he is candid enough to express the wish that the two great bodies of Protestant Chris tians composing the eommuuiennts of the Episcopalian and Methodist de nomination should be united in one organisation. It is well known that John Wesley, tlio founder of Metho dism, retained his individual connec tion with the English Cliureh through out his life. The writer says. “The Church of England with the life-blood of the Methodist piety in its veins, might have been conceivably a greater power in the. Kingdom of Christ than the two separated bodies of the Church and the Wesleyan Methodists who still, do not wish to tie considered Dissenters.” May we not yet see a union between these divided 1 todies of Christian which will illustrate anew the adage : “In uuiou is strength?,” Ono Morning during the recent cold weather Miss Lily refused to get up and lie washed. - Her aunt, who fol lows the modern mode of dealing nitli children, and considers that they should always be argued with, but never made to do as they, bid, in vain exhausted her eloquence in discribiug tlie excellencies of purification, for the infant loglealaii fairly confuted her by this ingenious antithesis: Aunt Mary, you do as you like, and let me do us I like. You like to he clean and laihl, I like to lie warm and dirty.” A Bov Soared to Death. --lu New York, on Thursday, William S. Parsons, aged fifteen years, who was sick, was given by Ids father a qiiani ty of aconite in mistake for his regular medicine. Jlc told the hoy ofllils, and ho was sti badly frightened Hint he died immediately. Physicians were called, and said that the boy died from heart disease, the result of fright. “Ah, gentleman, said the wanderer Winslow to the London lailillV, “one never realizes how muelr ho loves ills country until lie has been absent from it.” “It’s a ’eavenly feel ink, ns does you homier, Mister Winslow,” Hymn pa thetically added one of his keepers, “but a gent in your sitiwatlon will ’have to h’admit that ll’Anirrlca h’isn’t h’alwuys the ’omo of the free." —Brooklyn Argus. What Is the great merit of the effort to suiistltiite small silver coins for (lie fractional currency, about which so much is said of late? Is it because silver is worth a good deal less than the fractional notes, that is to say, be cause you eau get more gold for a dollar in fractional notes than for n dollar in silver? In Germany the government is taking measures to get tlie silver out of circulation, because the use of silver coin is found to boa source of actual loss to tlie pooplo. If the Germans are damaged by tlio use of silver money, how are the Yankees going to bo muck profited by it ? It is well enough to bear in mind, “as we go along” (as the late Andrew Johnson would have said), as the Cen tennial campaign progress, that the Freedmen’s Bank, the pet institution •of Republican philanthropists, only duped that faithful voter, the “man and brother,” out of $3,000,000 of hard earnings. Possibly tlie freodman put his ballot anil his fractional currency in the wrong box. During January the demand for postage stamps, postal cards and stam ped envelopes reached the unprecedent amount of three and half million dol lars worth. Those figure are indicn. tive of a rapid revival of busines throughout the country. Charles Francis Adams has nomi nated Samuel Bowels, the famous ed itor and agriculturalist, for tlie vice presidency. The Adams family never make a move that docs not inspire the thought of what a great thing it would be for the country if wo were ail Adamses. The Smithsonian Institute has ar ranged to exhibit at the Centennial thirty Indian families, belonging to as many different tribes. They will oc cupy a five-acre reservation, and live in their primitive style.
