Atlanta.
The following was the text and j
sermon: j
Te**— l As every man hath re
ceived the gift, even so minister
the same to another as good stew
ards of the manifold grace of
God. "- Peter 4: 10.
In the 12th chapter of Ist Cor
inthians. Paul speaks to us con
cerning spiritual gifts and their
uses in the church of God.
The text under consideration re- j
veals the responibility of every
individual for the proper use, of j
the gift received.
There comes a time when God
j calls upon every man to give an
account of his stewardship. Happy
j the man who, when his Lord j
! cometli, shall hear the plaudit
‘•Well done. Thou hast been
j faithful over a few things, be thou !
ruler over many.’
A variety of gifts in the church
is the ordering of God, and is
i therefore necessary. In the car
rying on of the great work design
led of God, iu the establishing of
| the church, in the world, all of
! the different aspects of human life
must lie met. To do this there
must be an agency employed
1 which will meet the various con
j ditions of lit’. No one man can lie
expected to possees all of the qual
| ifications necessary to meet these
various conditions.
“All have not the same gift,
but the same Lord is over all. ’
Every man, therefore is respon
sible for doing that which belongs
to him. As each member of the
human body has its respective
functions to perform, ho each
member of Christ’s body, the
church, must act his part.
The bestowment of these gifts
upon individuals is according to
the good pleasure of God. “To one
he gave five talents, to another
i two, to another one. To every
| man according to his several abil
ities.’’ He has made these gifts
| exceedingly different. Someone
lias said, “He who taught the lark
to trill also taught the eagle to
! scream. He who molded the dew
| drop and caused it to hang in
! silence on the fringe of the flowers
made also the flowing rivers and
the boundless sea.”
These gifts are so distributed
that the most highly gifted shall
not feel independent of those less
[highly favored. The highest and
j the lowest are dependent the one
' upon the other, so that neither
lean say to the other, “I have no
| need of thee.”
In the great reformation of the
I sixteenth century Go and called
Luther and Melancthon, two men
unlike in many respects, to be the
great leaders. God was the strength
of each of these, and the reforma
tion was the result of their com
bined efforts.
Every Christian is responsible
for making his or her contribution
for the good of the church in the
generation in which they live.
All that a man has he holds in
trust as a steward of the grace of
God. “Occupy till I come,” is
I God’s command. This being true
he should consecrate himself and
I his substance to the service of his
Lord, that he may thus promote
the cause of Christ upon the
earth.
Though there be a variety of
gifts, the same spirit is revealed
in all, the same God is over all.
“Paul plants, Apollos waters but
God gives the increase.” The
same spirit is in all to illuminate,'
the same in all to give life and
force to service rendered. Man
may have other qualifications for
service without the spirit, and all
is vain, “but where the spirit of
the-Lord is, there is liberty.” “If
any man minister, let him do it
as of the abilitvjwhich God giveth,
that God in all things may be
glorified through Jesus Christ.”
j We are workers together with
\ God, and therefore need not fail
i in any of the work assigned us.
Having received of the Lord
| gifts suited to our individual cases,
we should go forth ministering to
! others, till God shall say to us one
|by one, “Well done, good and
: faithful servant, enter into the joy
of thy Lord.”

Parental Responsibility
(by lady cook, nee tknnksseb
ex. A KLIN.)
It is a grave reflection upon our
sense of justice and of moral re
sponsibility, that it should he
necessary for any public writer,
at this stage of Christian civiliza
tion. to advocate the claims of
children upon their parents. One
class of them is by law fairly pro
vided for, although even here
some gross defects exist, but there
is another and extensive one to
which the English laws are more
than cruel —they are positively
barbarous. The illigitimates are
treated as though they themselves
were answerable for their. own
being. It is not enough that the
Angel* of social scorn is pointed at
them; they are also, because of
their birth, deprived of many of
the ordinary privileges of citizens,
and in these respects are treated
worse than criminals. But when,
in addition, they meet with paren
tal heartlessness or neglect, their
position becomes most deplorable.
The result of these public and
private wrongs is that natural
children have the smallest chance
of living to maturity, while those
who survive are often needlessly
and willfully driven into the ranks
| of vice and criminality, and thus
bring upon the community a moral
retribution.
Let no one be deceived. There I
is a moral as well as a physical j
world, and every injury done to
another must ultimately recoil
upon the community. The unjust
degradation is produced. And the
longer it is protracted the greater
will bd the evil. But it should
not be forgotten that a bad law is
infinitely more pernicious than
private misconduct. A vicious
individual must do evil, it is true,
but only to a limited degree.
There are hardly any bounds, how
ever, to the ruin which a vicious
law may effect. And it needs no
Deus ex machins , no hand in the
clouds, to punish the evil doer.
The avenging Nemesis accompan
ies both, for evil acts by their own
nature bear within themselves the
seeds of retribution. “By their
fruits shall ye know them.”
We have in former articles point
ed out the special law-made disa
bilities under which the illigiti
mate lie in this country, and so
need not re-numerate them now.
That these laws survive at all is a
reproach to the head and heart of
a great people. That we alone in
Europe possess no law of legitima
tion is another. And it is due to
this legal dullness of head and
hardness of heart, perhaps, more
than to anything else, that so
many fathers are destitute of any
sense of parental obligation. They
beget children, but do little or
nothing to provide for them. In
many cases they would not even
know them were they to meet them.
They make love with a light heart
and leave the consequences to an
outraged God and to the deluded
mother. And in this they prove
themselves more brutal than the
brutes, who are never without as
full a share of parental affection
or protection as their offspring re
quire.
Let us take a typical case, one
of many we have know. A young
man, struck by the appearance of
a good-looking girl, makes her ac
quaintance under an assumed
name, pursues her with attentions
and persuades her of his love,
which is as false as the rest. De
ceived by his pretended regard,
she, guileless and warm-hearted,
responds to it, and eventually
gives him the highest pledge of
her affection. He enjoys her so
ciety it may be until their inter
course is followed by the usual
i result, and then he abandons her
to shame, and their unborn child
to the parish and to a life of un
merited hardship. What requital
can be too severe for such coward
ly conduct as this? Yet it is of
daily occurrence, is scarcely notic
ed, and seldom punished. Indeed,
there exists no statutable means
of punishing it.
VVe noticed a short time ago a
case not so utterly heartless as
this, yet cruel enough, although
the world generally would not
judge the father too harshly. A
charming little girl, fair, innocent,
intelligent—an unconscious patri
cienne—seemed out of place in a
frowzy boarding-house. Her moth
er was the landlady and when
younger had been on the stage.
Her father was a man of rank and
! wealth, accustomed to fashionable
| society, and the daily luxuries of
| high-bred life, amongst which an
actress is occassionally reckoned,
i Like an honorable man he admit
jt-ed his paternity, and made a
| small yearly allowance to the
| mother for his child. But there
Ihe stopped. He never sees her.
He does not know her. He is ut
j terly indifferent as to what be-

comes of her. His solicitor pays
the.annuity, and this his measure
of bis parental responsibility!
Yet he is decended from men who
were knights in the days of chival
ry, and whose mothers, when their
sons received the accolade, em
braced each, saying: “Be thou
brave and upright. Remember
that you spring from a race which
should never be false.” One of
the four rules which every knight
had to observe all bis life, in or
der to preserve his honor untarn
ished was: “Never lead astray
dame or damsel, but on the con
trary, respect them and defend
them against all injury.” Yet
this descendant of a knightly race,
like thousands of his class, now
ami aforetime, makes seduction a
pastime, and is deaf to the cry of
natural affection. His little daugh
ter, surrounded by light charac
ters, will probably be early cor
rupted, and lead an immodest
life, when an inversion of the old
pagan tragedy of Oedipus and Jo
casta may occur by no means for
the lirst time in Christum London.
May we not say to such men in
the words of Pope:
“Go! If your ancient but ignoble blood
Has crept through scoundrels ever since the
Hood,
Go! And pretend your family is young;
Nor your fathers have been fools so long.
What ean ennoble sots or slaves or cowards?
Alas! Not all tl>e blood of all the Howards.’’
Who is there who does not per
sonally know of cases in which
men of all degrees have behaved
shabbily to the women whose fa
vors they have sought, and with
heartless neglect towards the fruit
of their armours? And we ask, is

Blight
It is a sad thing to see fine
fruit trees spoiled by the blight.
You can always tell them from
the rest. They never do well
afterwards but stay small and
sickly.
It is worse to see a blight
strike children. Good health
is the natural right of children.
But some of them don’t get
their rights. While the rest
grow big and strong one stays
small and weak.
Scott’s Emulsion can s t op
that blight. There is no
reason why such a child should
stay small. Scott’s Emulsion
is a medicine with lots of

strength that makes things

makes them sleep, makes them

it not consistent with the policy of
an honorable people that such
crimnal misconduct should con

not offer an incentive to wicked
ness when it may be thus commit
ted with impunity? And why
should honest men and women be
heavily taxed for t he murders, the
suicides, and other public evils
caused by profligates, and for the
support of their abandoned chil
dren? Whether married or un
married it is the moral duty of
every father to provide for his off
spring in a proper manner, and
the state should enforce it by
every possible measure.
But we fear that so long as men
alone make the laws they will con
tinue to deal tenderly with what
they euphemistically term the
“softer vices,” and look with a
venial eye on seduction, fornica
tion, adultry, and desertion, as
more or less a joke. Even the
poets, whose pens should be always
wielded for Wright, sometimes ex
hibit the same want of moral
sense. Witness one whom we
honor in other respects; —Robert

We open at random the pages of
Debrett, and the first name on
which the eye alights is that of a
well-known Baronet, rich and no
ble in his life, and loaded with
honors and public offices. But
no genealogy is given. Even his
father’s and mother’s names are
unnoticed. Why ? He was illi
gitimate—nobody’s son. There
fore the courtly Debrett is dis
creetly silent. Yet his manly
and princely father not only recog
nized his child, but gave him all
the support possible, and would
have made him the heir of his
high rank and great fortune, did
our laws allow it. Then why this
contemptible mppressio veri ? Be
cause our virtue is assumed ; be
cause we practice in private what
we condemn in public; because
we have neither the candor to
confess our vices nor the courage
to rectify them; because Society
is a living lie. But if we would
reform we must first be honest.

CATARRH Jfc
The treatment of Catarrh with antiseptic and '
astringent washes, lotions, salves, medicated tobacco
and cigarettes or any external or local application, is
just as senseless as would be kindling a fire on top of
the pot to make it boil. True, these give temporary ■MbKtW
relief, but the cavities and passages of the bead and the mßSKßßk
bronchial tubes soon fill up again with mucus.
Taking cold is the first step towards Catarrh, for it
checks perspiration, and the poisonous acids and
vapors which should pass off through the skin, are —a.
thrown back upon the mucous membrane or inner skin,
producing inflammation and excessive flow of mucus, 1
much of which is absorbed into the blood, and through the circulation
reaches every part of the system, involving thp Stomach, Kidneys and other
parts of the’body. When the disease assumes the dry form, the breath
becomes exceedingly foul, blinding headaches are frequent, the eyes red,
hearing affected and a constant ringing in the ears. No remedy that doe3
not reach the polluted blood can cure Catarrh. S. S. S. expels from the
S- | i circulation all offensive matter, and when rich, pure
fpq blood is again coursing through the body the
mucous membranes become healthy and the skin
active, all the disagreeable, painful symptoms disap
pear, and a permanent, thorough cure is effected.

PLANT'S Wild, KHOREN.
Kstste of the I,ate H. B. Plant. Wilt
Be Treated as Though He Died
Intestate.
Tim estate of the lute IT. B.
Plant, amounting to about $20,-
000,000, is being divided accord
ing to the laws of the state of New
York among the surviving heirs.
The bulk of the property is held
in the state of New York in the
form of stock in the Southern
company, which Mr. Plant estab
lished. The widow will get one
third and the remainder will go to
Morton F. Plant, only son of the
deceased.
The testator endeavored to pre
serve the estate intact until the
child of the his grandson, Henry
Bradley Plant, now only 7 years
of age, should arrive at his major
ity. Had the intention of the
testator been carried out the es
tate would be at the time of the
proposed division one of the mam
moth fortunes of the country. It
Ims increased about one-third in
value since Mr. Plant’s death in
1800. The laws of no state in the
country permit the entailment of
property in the manner proposed
by Kir. plant, with the single ex
ception, it is stated, of Connet
icut. In furtherance of his plait
Mr. Plant went to Conneticut,
where lie had formerly lived, in
the hope af being able to make his
will as a resident of that state,
although he had lived in New York
city foivyears. Ppon his arrival
within the borders of the state he
declared himself a resident of Con
netieutt, hut immediate
ly returned to New York, which
he continued to speak of as
“home.” It is said that seven
hours covered the time of his ab
ecence.
The attorneys for the widows
proved that Mr. Plant had moved
to Conneticutt for the sole pur
pose of proving the will in the pro
bate courts of that state, and that
the status of probate courts was
not such as to entitle their acts
to “full faith and credit” in the
courts of New York. It was decid
ed that the will was invalid and
the division of the estate will be
made according to the laws of New
York.
Conneticutt has already receiv
ed SBO,(XX) from the estate and
New York will receive $200,00(>
more as an inheritance tax.
