In the pleasant county of Devon,
iu one of the sequestered passes,
with a few cottages sprinkled over
it, mused and sung Augnstus Top

on a visit to Ireland, he strolled
into a barn in which an illiterate
layman Avas preaching—but
preaching reconciliation to. Got!
through the death of his Son.
The homely sermon took effect,
and from that moment the Gospel
Melded all the poAvers of his bril¬

To a friend’s inquiry he answered

nie nothing to pray for. My pray¬

IMPORTANT FACT EXPLAINED.

South America are decreasing our
imports from the counties of that
continent are increasing. Last

and manufactures of all kinds,

South American imports, . which
were only $(.>,000,000 m 1884, last , ,
year amounted to $84,000,000. If
the News really wants to know
j-fi 0 i-g^on of this unfavorable
change and the explanation of our
puny trade with South America,
-j. s fi ou ifi read prayerfully the fol
\ ow i n g editorial from the llio
j ane j ro Jfews:
“There is something extraordi
nar fiy sanguine in the tempera
men jj G | American merchants anil
legislators. They feel that they
ought to have a controlling influ
euoe i u this great South Ameri
can trade, and they are doing an
immense an^punt of talking and
planning over it; but somehow
they never get beyond offers to
sell, and objections to buy. Their
idea of trade appears to be an
exchange of manufactured goods
for cash, no matter how it may be
obtained. They are even willing
to subsidize steamers to carry out
the goods, if they will not bring
back anything except cash.
There is not a practicle of doubt
but that American merchants and
manufactures might largely in¬
crease their trade with the Latin
American countries, if they would
only consent to trade on equal
terms. But as long as Uncle 8am
refuses to take what they can
produce, they will very naturally
go and buy where they can sell.

IT IS ANSWERED.
A few days ago we were handed
a copy of what purports to be a
lecture before the Presbyterian
of New York city “re
garding faith cures," in which the
author expresses his belief in the.
fuitli euros of our duy.
we do not pretend to make a re
view of this little book or its au
thor, but only submit a few words
in reply.
(1) When it was handed us, we
were told it was by a Presbyterian
divine. In answer to this we con
fess that there are a few Presby
terian “cranks also,
(2) We suppose there are but
fow genuine Christians of any or
all denominations who do not bo
lieve that, people have been cured
of disease in answer to faithful
prayer, just as truly as they re
oeive their “daily bread" or the
forgiveness of sins, If this is all
that is meant, we see no room for
discussions among cliristiaus.
But if it is meant that some of the
present day have the gift of mi
raculous healing, we hope to be
pardoned for withholding our bo
fief until we have seen at least
some evidence.
(3) The author referred to says
that “Faith Cures possible; >
are .
and then asks the question, “Are
they probable?" He answers the
question positively, “No. That
would require little less than om¬
niscience.” If this man is good
authority, are not Christians sub¬
ject to mistake when they assert
that certain parties were healed
in that way, and therefore liable
to do great harm by making unre¬
liable statements? Our author,
Mr. Pay son, says that proof is
impossible, because avg cannot
know “all the antecedents of the
cure;” but that this is not to he
taken as “evidence against the ex¬
istence of the fact.’’ Very good;
but in certain individual cases, it
is very demonstrable that the
“faith cure" did not avail. When
the “faith cure has been attempt¬
ed, and for aAvliile everything
seems favorable, yet eventually
the cure is undeniably it failure, it
is very clear that neither the mod
icine, . . the .. . the
noi imisillg, . nol
“anointing oil,” nor the the faith -
fill „ , , has AVl’OUght , , .
prayer tl cure
that case.
(4) In the last place avc remark
that, in our opinion, any one
who feels and acts and talks as
though God Avas in honor bound
to ansAver their petitions, have
got beyond themselves, and that
He Avill soon show them lioAV lit¬
tle they and their petitions are in
his sight. An essential part of
every genuine p/ayef is that hum¬
ble spirit that prompts one to say,
“not as I Avill but as Thou Avilt.
