I am not going to write a sermon, hut an article proper for any periodical, moral, religious, literary, or political. I have long been deeply grieved, to see. in actual life, so little difference between the large body of professed Christians and the people of the world. Roth classes run very much, with little exception, in the same channel. Let us now look a little at the peoplo of tho world, w hom 1 shall call sinners, and those termed the people of GdS, whom I shall call Christ^ ns, and see how much difference wo 'can find in their conduct. Now, let me say here tfyat all professed Christians, blessed be God. are not conformed to this world, but;, alas.' such ones are “like angels’ visits, few and far botween.’’ 1. Do sinners strive hard through life to amass wealth for their personal grat¬ ification and to leave for their children, who do not need it? So do Chiistians. 2. Do sinners seek the highest posts of boner and power in a world that re-, gards not God ? So do Christians. 3. Are sinners pleased with honorary titles 4. Do add sinners degrees? dress So themselves are Christians. and j j their families in fine, rich apparel, and follow strictly tiro fashionable style, however contrary to reason? So do Christians. 5. Do sinners allow sinners to live and die in common poor houses, without due regard to their comfort and Christians tender sensibilities of soul? So do allow Christians. i G. Do sinners adopt the wrong max¬ im, “No friendship in trade,’’ and sell as high as possible, and then turnabout and buy as low as possible with little or no regar d to the necessities and suffer-' ing of others? So do Christians. 7. Do sinners take a high rate of in¬ terest. on money ? So do Christians. 8. Do sinners put the best appear¬ ance on what they offer for sale, and the w orst appearance on what they wish to buy ? So do Christians. 9. Do Sinners take and read light, ficticious newspapers and magazines, and n gleet thereby to read the Bible and pool and sound reading? So do Christians. 10. Do sinners visit circuses, horse races, and otner places of vain amuse¬ ment? So do Christians. 11. Do sinners build costly and showy houses, and furnish them magnificently? So do Christians. 12 Do sinners chooso the legal pro¬ fession, and in their arguments stren¬ uously endeavor to make a jury believe what they do not believe themselves? So do Chiistians. J3 Do sinners purchase the best peats in a meeting-'house, and thereby compel the poor to sit in remote parts of the bouse, or rf too poor to buy or hire so us to remain at home ? So do Christians. 14. Do sinners refuse, or neglect to deny themselves for the good of the UV}: OWN SK‘IC'I‘$(‘).\'r-\\'E LABOR i-‘Oli HS. AD\'.~XX&1§£5‘.E~1.\' i‘. j jj EVEIiANl). G!

Arc sinners often haughty, and neglectful of the comfort and feelings of their man servants and maid serv¬ ants, and of tho unfortunate and poor in general ? So are Christians. id- Dosirners often indulge in joking, loud and senseless laughter, low, coarse and vain conversation ? So do Chris¬ tians. 17. Do sinners use tobacco freely, and from day to day ? So do Chiris thns. 18. Do sinners command militia com¬ panies and regiments ? So do Chris- tians, 19. Do sinners attend military schools, to Iflarn tho trade of human butchery, and become pleased and proud of th - trade, and in time of war not stop to inquire wbothor the cause is just or un¬ just, but enter tho army and fight as furious and unfeeling as with beasts, and, after tho war, return to their homej, expecting to receive, and feeling that they ought to receive the highest honors and offices in the gift of their countrymen ? So do Christiana, 20, Do sinners vote for incapable, un suitable, and immoral inert, because they belong to their political party ? So do Christians, 21. Do sinners annrove of the des truction of human life on the gallows? So do Christians. 22. Do sinners join secret societies which demand irreverent and oven blasphemous oaths previous to member¬ ship? So do Christians. 22. Do sinners send their sons to mil¬ itary schools. So do Christians. A number of years ago a professed Christian was in a perplexity of mind. lie said lie could not decide whether to pend his son to West L'oint Military Academy to make him a warrior, or to Andover Theological Seminary to make him a minister—two very wide ex tremes in human life, one for tho dos truction and the other for the salvation of mankind. I never knew how ho deci ded. But T have no heart, to follow this lamentable subject of how professed Christians pattern after tho world, and not after Christ, the Christian’s cx> ample. I am no enemy of the Church. I have been a member of an evangelic¬ al church nearly fifty roars, and as to being “conformed to this world,” I can not say l have been sinless, but let truth bo obeyed, and God have mercy on us all. John T1 emmknwav. Minneapolis, Mimi., May 2.7, 1881 How He Won The Motley, or Couldn’t be Stuck, Nino persons sailed from Brattloboro down the Connecticut river. Among them was a shrewd New Englander who wished to go to Hanover upon con¬ dition that ho would givo the ct plain one dollar for his passage. Now it is true something jingied in tho New En glandor’s pocket when ho had struck his hand agaiustit; but the only money was a twenty-five cent piece for the other was a brass button. Notwithstanding this he accepted the offer with gratitude; for he thought to himself, • “Something may be earned even upon the water. Who can deny that many a man has grown rich upon the Connecticut river?’ During the first part of the voyage tho passengers were talkative and mer¬ ry. Rut as the vessel sailed onward tire passengers one after another grew silent and gaped and gazed listlosslv down tho river until one cried to tho New Englander: ‘ Come, now- do you know any pas¬ time that will amuse us?’ “Now is tho time,’ thought tho New Englander, “to shear my sheep.’ He then proposed that they should sit around in a circle with him. Those who could not answer thequostions any one proposed should pay tho one who propounded them a twenty-five cent piece, and those who answered them pertinently should reeieva a twenty five cent piece. This proposal pleased tho company and hoping to divert themselves with the New Englander's wit or stupidity, each one asked at random whatover chanced to enter his head. Thus, for example, the first asked. “Who prolougs his work to as groat length as possible aud completes it iu time?” All said it was impossible to answer that question; but the Now Englander said: “The rope maker, if ho is industri¬ ous.’ And tho others paid him twenty-five cents. “Wait,’thought the second; “I will try you at the Bible and I tbiuk I shall win my piece ’ “Why did tho Anostlo 1 * ml wri o iho second epistle to the Corinthians?’ “Because he was not in Corinth,’ said the New Englander. ‘Otherwise ho would havo spoken to them.’ S-> ho won another pioeo. Tho third tried him in a different way ‘ There are two brothers and still only ono of them is my uncle,’ “Tho uncle is your father’s brother,’ said tho New Englander, ‘ and your father is not your undo.’ “A fish nmv leaped out of the water and the fourth askod “What fish havo their eyes nearest to¬ gether!’ “Tho smallest, said tho New' En¬ glander. Tho fifth asked: “How can a man lido from Hanover to Brattloboro in the shade, in the sum-. mer->time when tho sun shines?’ “When becomes to a place where thore is no shade he must and go on foot,’ said tho New England¬ er, The sixth asked. “When a man rides in tho winter time from Brattloboro to Hanover and has forgotten his gloves (row must ho manage so that his hands shall not freeze?’ “Ho must mako fists out of them,’ said tiro Now Englander. 'Pile seventh asked. “How can five persons divide five eggs so that oach man will reoiava one, and still one remain in tho dish?' “Tho last mam must take tho dish with the egg,’ said the New Englander “and he can let it lie as long as you please.’ Tho eighth, who was tho last asked. “In what month do tho peoplejof Han¬ over eat the least' “In February,’said tire New England¬ er, ‘for it has only twentvseigh da vs.’ But now it come to Ins turn and ht detortninod to make a good swoop so he began. “How can a man fry two trouts in t hree pans so that a trout -nay Do in each pan?’ No one could answer this and ono after another gave him a twenty-five cent piece; but when the eight desired chat should solve the riddle ho rocked to and fro, shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes. “You seo, I am a poor man,’ said ho at last, “What has that to do with it?’ cried tiro rest. “Give us tho answer.’ “You must not take it amiss.’ said too New Englander, “for 1 am very poor.' At last after much persuasion ho thrust his hand into Iris [rocket took out ouo of the pices ho had won laid it upon tho table and said. “i do not know the answer any more than you. Hero is my piece.’ When the others heard this they op ened their eyes aud said it was scarce¬ ly according to the agreement. But as they could not control their laughter and were wealthy and good matured men and as the New Englander had helped them to while away tho timo on the voyage they let it, pass and the Now Englander took with him -let us see. Ho had eight twenty-live cent pieces by his answers oi^ht with his own rid¬ dle one iu his pocket to start with <,qo he gave back and four he gave to the ~ captain. —[“Golden Days.’ <A> —-— An elderly lady who was very indig¬ nant at tho conduct of a man in a Gal vestou street car who was smoking punched tho driver in tho hack with her umbrella, and asked. “Driver ain’t it agin tiro rules to smoke iu this car?' “You can smoke as much as you please, madam if the gentlemen don’t object,’ was the response. Thou sho rang the hell and got out. A minister out in the far West who had bei n troubt- da good deal over mar¬ riage fees, issued the following cir¬ cular and price list. “Ono Marriage plain, $2; kissing the bride 8:} ; trim¬ med with one groomsman and one bridesmaid, .■84; fifty cents extra for each additional groomsman or br ides¬ maid bachelors past forty will be char¬ ged extra; maids of age ten per cent, off Mileage will be charged in long distance matches. Liberal reduction to clubs Payments in cash no notes or securities accepted. No money re¬ funded or rebates made for poor goods. Come early and come often.' It is gratifying to learn that tho re visers of the Bible have not made any changes in the genealogy with which tho Gospel of St, Matthew begins. To know that our pad grees are all right is a great comfort. E“? l 3452 iii YIEL’X R. in 7‘ "’ - (g) r: z .2 w l F ,4 (a *9: a: k: ‘ Q c: ‘33? :fi‘“; .. '3‘ _ v3 ! a r3“; ‘3 ‘ m k w E.
