SUNDAY, MAY 2, 1875. _
PREACHING TO THE MASSES.
The London Times and the New York
Herald, as well as other secular jour
nals of less note, are discussing the
present religious movement in Europe
and America which aims at the evan
gelization of the masses. It has been
proved by reliable statistics that if
every church in London were filled to
its utmost capacity there would still
be at least one-half of the population
who could not find sitting room. And it
is also asserted that all the churches in
New York would not contain more than
one-third of its entire inhabitants. .In
view of these facts it seems that in all
the cities of Europe and America there
must be an immense number of per
sons who never hear the Gospel, and,
even if they wished to hear it, they are
debarred from doing so.
Then, again, the National Churches
of England and Scotland, notwith
standing their pretensions to provide
gospel ordinances for the people, are
utterly inadequate to meet their wants.
Hence we find that in England “chapels
of ease,” and in Scotland quoad sacra
churches have been erected ; but even
these, with all the various churches of
dissenting bodies, holy ordinances have
not kept pace with the growth of some
of the large commercial and manu
facturing cities.
In America, where every religious
society has been thrown on its own re
sources and left to provide the means
of grace for itself, comparatively little
has been done to meet the wants of the
outlying and self-neglecting portions
of the community.
The Catholic Church, with a com
mendable zeal, worthy of imitation, is
the only body of Christians that has
built prospectively, and that professes
to furnish accommodation for all her
members.
In addition to the efforts made by
the National Churches of England and
Scotland, the device of city missions
Ims been adopted, and in many of the
large cities and towns of England and
Amei'ica, they have been successful in
gathering up the scattered and ne
glected population. Still it seemed
that somethiug more efficient and more
extensive was wanted. The divine
mandate, “Go ye into the highways and
hedges and compel them to come in,”
was not met by any of the projects as
yet in full operation.
The Wesleys and Whitfields in Eng
land, and the Erskines and Fishers, of
Scotland, did a great and a good work
in their day and in Great Britain,
whilst their spirit and zeal were trans
ported to our shores in the early days
of the Republic, and have, during its
entire history, kept the lamp of Gos
pel light Curuing in the land. Still a
vast amount of work remains to be
done.
An educated and trained ministry is
a sine qua non to the success of the
Gospel in any country and by any
Church ; but, besides this, there is much
work which can be done, and must be
done, by lay agency. Such is the work
no w in progress in Europe and Ameri
ca, under the auspices of Young Men’s
Christian Associations, with their na
tural outgrowth in lay preaching and
open air preaching.
Mr. Moody— an humble, uneducated
man, who never sat in a college or a
university—goes before a crowd of
twenty thousand people, and with the
Bible in his hand tells the simple story
of " Jesus Christ and Him crucified,”
and as in the day of Pentecost, when
Peter preached, multitudes are pierced
to the heart, and men and women are
heard to cry: “ What must we do to
be saved 1”
Noblemen, Lords, Knights, Baronets,
and even some of tne royal family of
England are found among the masses
who are daily assembling to hear this
unpretending lay preacher. He is the
wonder of all England; and yet, the
only peculiarity about him is that he
tells, in the simplest and most unpre
tending manner, the story of the cross.
Strange, yet grand the thought, that
the theme of the four Evangelists, now
eighteen centuries old, should, when
reiterated in the monosyllables of an
unlettered young man from Chicago,
evoke sueh a cry as Peter’s sermon
did on the day when “cloven tongues as
of fire” descended upon the mass meet
ing at Jerusalem. Not less strange is
the fact noted by the Herald a few
days ago that a British butcher should
preach to twenty thousand people in
Barnum’s Hippodrome, New York, and
that the most cultured classes of the
- city should retire from his services full
of admiration and delight.
There must be a power—a hidden
power, which the world cannot see in
such men. Hardened sinners have
heard these men, and confessed to the
fact that they were moved and im
pressed. Many who had been sitting
under the preaching of educated and
gifted ministers for years, and who
were edified and pleased, have owned
that they were never moved or con
vinced of sin until they heard these
humble and uneducated Evangelists.
The power is not human—it must be
divine; and after all, it is but the proof
of what the prophet Zachabiah said
touching the* rebuilding of the walls
of Jerusalem and the great revival
under Nehemiah “Not by might, nor
by power, but by my Spirit, saith
the Lord.” The old landmarks are
being removed, hoary habits are being
uprooted, prejudices which have held
men’s minds and souls in bondage for
centuries are being rent to pieces, and,
as among the minor prophets who pre
dicted the -first coming of the Lord of
glory we find the plowman and the
vine-dresser. So it would seem that
the unlettered peasant and the toiling
tradesman are to be among the hon
ored harbingers of His second coming*
Paroxysmal. The Boston Post says
that judging by the manner in which
King Victor Emanuel and Emperor
Francis Joseph hugged and kissed each
other in Venice they must have been
reading the Beecher trial.
The Borne Commercial says the small
pox has broken out at Cave Spring.
COMFORTABLE—IF TRUE.
Sometime ago, we recorded the ex
traordinary funeral ceremonies of a
Baltimore undertaker, named Weaver,
who, among many other professions
besides the grave one which made him
rich, was a very advanced spiritualist.
It seems that Mr. Weaver, through a
certain clairvoyant, Mrs. Rachel Wal
cott, has condescended to leave his
address and assure his friends that he
is now in the enjoyment of bliss ineffa
ble. The trance-medium gave Mr.
Weaver’s history from the time of his
first spanking by his respected mother
to the last rattle in his throat which
gave him to the immortals. The me
dium likewise declared that the sup
posed dead man was spiritually present
at his own funeral and “indescribably
delighted” at The “grand demonstra-
tion.” Methinks we can see that airy
undertaker, who had had the grim
pleasure of preparing so many other
people for the tomb, filled with profes
sional exultation, and rubbing glee
fully his spectral hands, at the extra
ordinary joke of contemplating the
mourners who wept when he was as
“happy as a big sunflower.” We are
told, likewise, by Mrs. Wolcott that
when his body was placed in the vault
“ the whole atmosphere from Green
mount to Heaven was filled with ethe
real forces, which led to a sweet bower,
where his angel wife and his angel
children and grand-children met him.
Then roses were strewn at his feet that
fell to earth, and power was given him
by the angel spirits to visit the earth
and communicate with his friends.—
He had often visited the earth since
his death, and is able to see all that is
going on in both worlds. He has a
special mission to perform in behalf of
Spiritualism, aud privileges and pow
ers are conferred upon him on account
of the high state of perfection he had
reached in Spiritualism before his
death that were never given before to
any new spirit. The beautiful casket
and the surroundings of his funeral
had greatly contributed to his happi
ness, and had delighted his spirit
friends who were assembled in a great
throng at the temple and at the vault.
The angel world was described as be
ing beyond the comprehension of mor
tals. The angels are correctly paint
ed with wings, with which they con
stantly fly from Heaven to earth. He
had gathered the tears shed at his
funeral and had made them into dia
monds. He is perfectly delighted with
his present condition, is enjoying him
self in the society of his angel friends,
and has no desire to return to the
flesh.”
All of the above is “important, if
true,” as the telegraph operator so fre
quently observes. As the tears shed
at a funeral are, occasionally, convert
ed into diamonds by the dear departed,
who does not altogether depart, it
would not be amiss for all who have
any regard for their deceased relatives
to weep with the briny inundation of a
Beecher and, if such tears are admissi
ble, secretly adjust an onion in the
pocket handkerchief, so that the visi
ble supply shall never fail from inan
ition. But the most touching and
heart-rending revelation is that Mr.
Weaver was perfectly beatific because
his envelope of clay was laid in a most
expensive casket. It would be a clever
stroke of policy for the manufacturers
of metallic cases to make a note of
this, and, when advertising, blazon
to the world that anybody who
wants to attend his or her own funeral
comfortably should take care to leave
behind cash enough to purchase a
coffin of the latest style, with all the
modern improvements, and, as some
irreverent wag has added, with gas
and bath tub accompaniments! If
Mrs. Waloott is to be credited we do
not doubt that Mr. Weaver is “enjoy
ing himself and has no desire to return
to the flesh.” We would not come
back, either, if we were in his snug
condition. We have the tears here
but cannot turn them into a loaf of
bread, much less into diamonds big as
a locomotive head light. We are glad
to know something of the other world,
especially something so consolatory.
Wherefore, Mrs. Walcott has the
thanks of the public, who observe her
with their eyes open while she dreams
with closed lids, and possibly takes up
a collection when her normal condi
tion is resumed and impecuniosity re
minds her that the time for changing
salt water into brilliants has not yet
arrived.
A WISE AND TOUCHING LETTER.
The late James Gordon Bennett
published in 1833 the following letter,
from Thomas Jefferson to one of his
nephews, which he considered the best
production outside the Holy Scrip
tures:
Your affectionate mother requests that I
would address to you, as a namesake,
something that might have a favorable in
fluence on the course of life you are to run.
Few words are necessary, with good dispo
sitions on your part: Adore God—rever
ence and cherish your parents—love your
neighbor as yourself, and your country
more than life. Be post, be true; murmur
not at the ways of Providence, and the life
into which you have entered will be the
the passage to one of eternal and Ineffable
bliss. And if to the dead it is permitted
to care for the things of this world, every
action of your life will be under my regard.
Farewell.
Montickllo, January 10,1824.
It would be very difficult to condense
more good advice into a shorter ser
mon.
Spinner. —Treasurer Spinner answer
ing an invitation to be present, person
ally and by contribution, at the Meck
lenburg Centennial, thus writes: “Be
lieving in the justice of your claim of
having been the first to proclaim the
independence of the States, I desire to
-contribute my mite to your celebration.
I have resigned my place here, and
leave the office a poor man. This is
the reason why I cannot send you a
more suitable amount than that of $lO
in the check that is herewith inclosed
you.”
The Avenger.— The man who shot
Booth and avenged Lincoln, Boston
Corbett, is living in obscurity. He
is a maker of tiles and a preacher of the
Gospel.
NOT WESTWARD BUT SOUTH
WARD.
The Cincinnati J Enquirer declares
that the present tide of emigration to
the far West is a delusion and a snare.
It is a cold, waterless, treeless region,
and, as for companionship, there is
none at all worth having. Indeed, from
the Ohio paper's description we are re
minded of the abode of the Infernal
One, since some of the chief charac
teristics of that cave of gloom are
want of balmy air and good society.
So, it happens that when a young man
is importuned to go very far West, it
is only a polite method of sending him
to perdition. The Enquirer further
says that some portions of it “may be
made available, as Colorado and Ne
vada, for example, as mining districts
for gold and silver. But in its great
extent it is si barren waste. There will
be no new Ohio, Indiana or Illinois
west of Missouri and Kansas. This
is a fact that should be understood by
the people, not only living in the States,
but in the Territories beyond. What
is called Che Great West is a myth. It
is a delusion which is leading tens and
hundreds of thousands of people year
ly to their destruction.”
The same paper adds that, abandon
ing the idea of making the Grdat Amer
ican Desert an objective point, the mi
gratory population of the North should
go South, where all the elements of
health, happiness and prosperty await,
under good government, the intelli
gent and industrious gleaner, who has
a little capital. We do not doubt that
the South will, before many years
elapse, be invaded by another army
from the North, when that great hive
beyond us begins to swarm once more.
This mighty host will not come with
sword and bayonet, torch and artillery,
but armed with the implements that
Tubal Cain forged in the reign of
peace.
PORT ROYAL INDEBTEDNESS.
We are informed that the gold for
the payment of the coupons of the
Port Royal Railroad, due on the first
instant, was purchased by the Georgia
Railroad and Banking Company. An
injunction was served upon the Presi
dent of the Georgia Railroad, Friday
evening, estopping payment of these
coupons in part or the whole. Desir
ous of doing what this company had
done in the past, ivhether legal or not ,
the gold having been purchased and
on hand, it has been intimated to us
that the following telegram has been
sent by the Georgia Railroad and Bank
ing Company. It explains itself:
Augusta, Ga., May Ist, 1875.
Edmund Willson, A merican Exchange Na
tional Bank, New York :
Pay the coupons due the Ist of May in
stant-protesting, however, that such pay
ment shall not commit the Georgiaßr.il
road and Ranking Company to the validity
of these bonds, or any other bonds of the
Port Royal Railroad purporting to bo en
dorsed by the Georgia Railroad and Bank
ing Company.
Savings. —The Baltimore Sun has
compiled some interesting comparative
statistics of the French and Massa
chusetts Savings Banks. In France
there are 508, with over 2,000,000 de
positors, and 535,000,000 francs or
$107,000,000 on deposit January 1,
1873. During the preceding year 75,-
000 working men had made deposits
averaging S4O each, 35,000 domestic
servants averaging s3l each, and 57,000
persons of other occupations averaging
less than S3O each. The entire de
posits for the year were $7,100,000, of
which the first two classes above
named contributed $4,200,000. The
French Savings Bank system dates
back to 1865, and the depositors now
average 57 to the 1,000 of population.
In Massachusetts, with a million and a
half inhabitants, the total deposits are
more than double that for the 36,000-
000 of France.
From this statement it would appear,
at the first blush, that Massachusetts
was richer than France; but it seems
that the French hoard at home and
not in banks, and invest in co-opera
tive securities much more extensively
than the New Euglanders. Still, the
large deposit of Massachusetts shows
how manufacturing States accumulate
money, and we of the South know to
our bitter cost how the larger part of
it was obtained. When our people
diversify their industry, feed them
selves, live economically, and get good
government, they will thrive once
more. Massachusetts has probably seen
her beat days. Our triumph is to
come.
A Good Woman. —Mrs.. Conway, the
distinguished actress, who died the
other day, is warmly praised by the
press. The Times says she never
turned a dear ear to an appeal for aid
in any charitable object. Her first per
formance after she attained success as
an actress was for a charitable object,
and her last appearance upon the
stage was for a like purpose. She also
cheerfully offered the use of her thea
tre for a benefit matinee for the family
of the late Dan Bryant, when she knew
that she was herself on her death-bed.
If that is not a Christian woman, how
many are there off the stage ?
A New Dodge. —And now comes tho
“ Speaking Bee.” It is a competition
for excellence in oratory. How would
it do to have something of that kind
in Augusta instead of another “spell ?”
Mother and Babe. —“ Out of all the
buried ones, aunty, which do you see
plainest?” I questioned. “ Little Sally,”
was the quick reply. "Little Sally who
never had a name till we needed one to
put on the gravestone over her. Little
Sally who was four months old when
she died. Abby married a man I could
not abide. It was Henry’s wildness
down to Boston gave him the con
sumption. Stephen was away from
home always till he took sick, and
Martin’s wife and me was never good
friends, and that took away some of
the nearness. But little Sally never
lived to give me a cool look or hard
word. When my plans were the bright
est, she faded out from under ’em, and
left the joy of my life broken in pieces.
Just think of a velvet; touch laying
forty years on a woman’s withered
breast. Just think of a little upturned
pink faoe never fading from out a
woman’s empty arms. That’s been my
lot and I am satisfied to go where my
baby is waiting for me,”

A IV ALYSI H
OF THE
LAGER BEER
FROM
E. ANHEUSER & CO.,
IN ST. LOUIS. MISSOURI t
U. S. NAVAL LABORATORY, I
New York, September, 1874. (
The “ST. LOUIS LAGER BEER” of E.
Anheuser Jk Cos., at St. Louis, Mo., having
been analysed, gave the following results:
Specifle Gravity 1.02 per cent.
Extracted Matter 7.32 “
Carbonic Acid 0.16 “
Aloohol 4.82 “
Ashes 0.24 “
From these figures it will be readily seen
that the “St. Louis Lager Beer” proves a
heavier specifle weight than all other beer
now manufactured m our market; its sub
stance of carbonic acid Is superior even to
the Scotch Ale, Salvator Beer, Braun
schweiger Mumme and Munohener Lager
Beer; Its substance of aloohol comes near
the “Munchener Hofbrau,” and its extract
substance proves to be between the “Zacherl
Doppelbier” and the “Salvator Beer.”
conclusions from the analysis of the
quality:
The quality of this Beer, as shown by our
analysis, is superior by its pureness, as no
extraneous matter could be detected. The
large amount of extract substance (malt be
ing used in extraordinary great quantities,
which, having been roasted, gives the beer
that peculiar navor of fresh bread) makes
this beer a very nourishing and highly re
commendable drink for medicinal purposes.
Another good quality of this beer is that it
keeps iu good condition under all circum
stances. W. C. CONRAD,
