ELEVENTH ANNUAL Bureau, manna-no IN
THE SD M. E. cannon, APRIL 2, 1871.

 

The foundation of all true doctrine and
the source of all true comfort is- the Bible,
In its unfathomed depths the sage grows
wiser, andinits simple precepts the child
learns the way to virtuous happiness. Said
one of its enemies: “It is a part of the na-

tional mind and the anchor" ’of national
seriousness: The power of all the gills and

trials of a man is hidden beneath its words_
It is the representative of his best moments ;
and all there has been about him of son.
and gentle, and ‘ pure, and penitent, and
good, speaksvto him from the English Bible.
In the length and breadth of _ t-heland, there
is not a Protestant with "one spark of rights
cousness about him whose spiritual .bi‘o-~
graphy is not in his Saxon Bible." HOW
then can the zeal be over-w'rbught that seeks
to spread far-sand wide this saving Word 2
It is a cause of. profomld thanksgiving this
evening that the general church cherishes so '
dearly the work of spreading the Bible, and
ihat‘the Parent Society with its iWo tho'us-
and auxiliaries and more than five thousand
branch societies, is encircling the nation and
the world with truth. And yet there is a call
for renewed diligence and a filller consecra‘
‘tion to ibis-blessed wet-k. Much remains to
be done. Infidelity is to bebheckedJOrmal-
ism energized, and science converted. ‘ The

groping multitudes need to see the “great

light.” ,
We gather on this anniversary evening to
be quickened snare-inspired. =We. embrace
a territory that requiresjaffrequent' canvass.
It was reported. in our; last session of the
committee that in-some portions of the field,
great moral . destitution prevails. "' A

the constant chauges‘incident to a town so
populous do not demand a yearly visitation
by the colporteur. . _ . ' . . -.
In order to create a deeper interest in the.
adjacent tOwns btilongin'g'io the Society, the,
committee have in project the holding of

It is one of the privileges of those who
frankly confess that they are growing old,
to ofi‘er advice to theirprospective succes-
sors 0n the'slage of action. They feel that
they are exposed to the very ismpiaiions‘
and errors which the experience they have

ing‘those successors to resist and avoid; He
must be perverse indeed, who is not wiser at
sixty than he was at fifteen or twenty; he
must be intensely corrupt if his passions are
not weaker and his reason stronger than in
the flush of impetuous youth. There is no
presumption, there are, in the proffer of ,
counsel by. one whose locks are whitening
with the “anew that never melts,” to those
who are just setting forth on the stormy

these only who may be willing to look, 'at
least, tranquilly,vat‘the problems, of exist-
ence through my dimmed and earnest eyes;
and for these I condense by conceptions of
duty and convictions as to what is at ones
most true and expedient, into the following
maxims 'or rules of life:

1. BELIEVE Franny IN Gen—Not as a
speculation, nor as' a probability, but as
vitally necessary to any rational explanar'

within us, be profoundly and actively co‘n-
scious that God lives and reigns, and that
all we see and are, exist in conformity to
His will. “God said, ‘Let light be !’ and
light was,” is the most lucid and forcible, as
well as the briefest exposition of the nature
and process of creation which our limited
faculties can comprehend. It is true that

like these—“Was there ever a time when
the material universe had not yet been
spoken into being ? If there was, what did
exist? If God only, when did He exist?
And in what .manner was,His existence
evidenced or manifested? If He is infinite
eternal, while the universe is finite and of
yesterday, is it not likely to vanish in 'obe-

A simpleton may thus ask questions which
the wisest man may not be able to answer,
even to his own satisfaction. God’s exist-
ence freely admitted by no means clears up
the mysteries whereby we are pressed upon
from every side; but it indicates the quarter
whence the solution-is surely to be vouch-
safed us in His good time. Feel that God

lems, that enan, may no longer perplex
and Wes us; the little we see' and know
becomes an inconsiderable ‘part of a5 sin-
pendous' whole, which we need to see in its
entirety. before we can safely or wisely
criticise it. What we deprecaie and lament
as evil is illumin'ed and ‘transfigured; we
know that it is enveloped and controlled by
Universal , benefic‘eilce‘—thst it is rained and ‘
mastered by Him'who has said to the ocean
—‘iniherto shalt thou'coin'e, and'no’fiirtber ;
here shall thy proud waves he stayed.”
Since. we know that God is, We are no
longer orphans in his creation; the stars in
their course may awe, but can no longer
terrify 0r sp‘pall us,and all that was bleak
and forbidden is irradiated and warmed by

evcri may perplex,f0r. harass, or afiiict' him,
let no young man permit anything to cloud
or shake his steadfast trust in God.

2. HAVE A Farms—Not my faith, neces-
sarily,-nor any other man’s faith, but your
faith. I advise'every youth to accept and
adhere to that of his parents until he shall

having'ma'de himself acquainted, in a gen-
eral way, with the diverse creeds and re-
ligious systems afiirmed on. this hand or on
that,lei him consider, adjuring prejudice,
the grounds'ou which they severally rest, ‘
the evidences adduced in their report re-

sistency of each with the wisdoms, goodness
and power of the Omnisciently Omnipo-I
tent, and adopt that faith which your reason
tells you is necessarily, or’mostrprobably,
the true one. If this be the faith wherein
you Were reared, rejoice in that fact, but first
beams that you have given itI-no undue
weight in making your decision. .
Having then deliberately adopted a faith,
avow it on all proper occasions, and units

hold it, Do not'shut your eyes stubbornly
against‘fiiriher light,- but eschew the cpp‘o-

sawing between conflicting cr'et'zds. Having
-enr011ed your name with those who believe
a'nd‘hope essentially as you do, about and
live that they shall never have reason to be
ashamed of your company or regard you as‘
an obstacle to the wider diffusion and more
general reception of the. Divine" Truth en-
trusted in their keeping and companionship.
Gentribute its-its'deaeemination' in generous
accurda'ncc with yOur means, but let. no one
justly say of ydu"‘Tlie zeal of the Lord’s:
house hath catch" him' ‘up”+that you im-
poverished. and wronged your "family'in'
order to make tin~ ostentatious? display of
zeal for your sect or church. There is a

Yet I insistthat. you .shOuldT qualify your-
self to earn usefully your living by Agricul-
ture, or in some department of . mechanics,
gbefore you give the best years of your life

No one can be‘i'lure,‘,.whilc you are yet a
lraw stripling, that you have the natural
qualities essential to usefulness in an intel-
lectua'l pursuit; 'and, if you have them,
some casualiiy or disease may mar them
incurably, even before you have attained
the prime of life; ,And, in: case asthma, or
bro'nchiiis, or: someother ailiictive dispensa-
.tion, should disqualify: you ‘to. preach or
plead, you cannot cheese to be an object of
compassion. and charity throughout your
‘whole- adult, responsible career. "I will
pursue this calling while it affords me afield
of honorable usefulness and gives me a fair
substance, but should my ability ever desert
me, or should it ever proffer me a choice be-
tween doing wrong and being undone, I

A Hebrew carpenter’s son, a Galilean fish-

verted and overthrew the magnificent, all
absorbing, deep-rooted religion of the an-
cient Roman world. Had they acquired

their Greek, and the dyspepsia along with
it, at a modern- college, we would probably
have persisted‘in worshiping Jupiter and

Minerva to this day. As it is, of the ‘gods
of antiquity, Bacchus, alone, is still the ob;
ject of daily; and earnest devotions.

4. TAKE Cans: OF YOUR HEALTHr-Siu-

.ners as we all are, I doubt that we violate

God’s moral, half so often as his physical

as part of the former. Before we are old
enough to know better, we eat and drink
more than would be good for us wereit
even so wholesome, with much that would
be hurtful if the quantity imbibed were ever
so moderate. Two~ihirds of the pains and
aches of childhood are the immediate
effects of excessive or improper eating or
drink, of these .and nothing else. But for
these calamitous inflictions, most of us
would have desiroyedour digestive economy
while yet in our teens. As it is, our teeth
generally evince unmistakable symptoms of
decay before we have severally attained the
age of twenty-one. Dyspepsia soon adds its
horrors in the case of .multitudes; and'at
thirty a formidable minority, if not a ma-
jority, are on the downfall 'of life, victims 0f
their own‘ ignorance and excesses. Bad
cookery, (generally excessive in the case of
meats) food swamped and stewed in grease,
meats, vegetables and beverages swallowed
when too hot, (it were better that wetook
nothing when more than blood-warm;) a
jumble of acids and sweets—pickles and
honey—these corrode our teeth, taint our'
breath, honeycomb our bones and pervade
all the muscles and cartileges whereof our
bodies are composed. Of our countrymen
and women above forty years Old, a major-
ity are invalids or daily sufi'erers because of
their early‘violations of the laws of life,
not to mention the" larger number whom
these violations have already consigned to
untimely graves. We eat too muc ,; we
eat too fast; we‘éat at irregular intervals;
we eat too many things essentially and in-
evitably hurtful; we eat as though the
stomach were an iron mill, bound to grind
out whatever grisis were poured into the
hopper. We pay for months of thoughtless
indulgence and ignorant transgression, by
years of ineflicicncy and suffering. Those
who will inquire, and read, and consider,
need not thus destroy themselves. We are
victims of our own thoughtless sensuality,
but not, tbucfere, innocent victims. .It is

’our simple duty to take care of the lives and

fiiculties which have been entrusted to our
stewardship; and any infidelity .to this high
trust is sin. 'If cleanliness be akin to godli-

ness; 0 due regard for health may be justly

accounted a moral duty. Let each seek out
the right and pursue it, as well with regard
to himself as his neighbors.

Escrmw STRONG DRINK—Alcohol is a
poison as essentially and demonstrably as
arsenic is, and, like arsenic and most other
poisons, may sometimes be fiily used to kill
a disease and save the life of its victim.
Never fancy a little alcohol can do no harm,

though much alcohol may; for the alcohol

difi‘used through a gallon of'beer or cider,
is just as poisonous as though it were con-
densed into a bottle of whisky or a flask of
brandy. No liquor siimilates except as the
natural effect of the alcohol it contains or
conceals; and men have died of alcoholic
poisoning whose only stimulant was cider.
The number hurried to their graves by lager
beer is very great, though those generally
finish their career on some kinds of distilled
spirits. In my judgment, whisky, honestly
distilled from. grain. is the least deadly poi-
son of the alcohol stimulants, though a quart
of it will poison more than a quart of beer
or cider, because, and only because it con-
tains a much larger proportion of alcohol.
But in fact, there is no honestly distilled
liquor—or Next to n 'e—becausc it has
been ascertained that a acceptable beverage
—whether malt or spiriious—can be pro-
duced far cheaper by_adding other poisons
than by relying on alcohol alone. “I know,”
said recently, an ex‘distiller, “that there is
no honest whisky now made. Do you ask
how I know it ? Because I know that add-
ing strychnine to the mash ensures a pro-
duction of twenty per cent. more liquor to

be obtained; and there is not. twenty per

cent. margin ‘ ior‘ profit on the business.
Now, men do not make whisky for philan-

;tropy’s sake; they make it for profit, and
step making it when profit is denied them.

So whisky making has fallen necessarily and
exclusively into the hands of ibose'who do
not scrapie to use siryehniue ;'and there it
must remain.” Every observing old person
will tell 'you that delirium tremor», palsy,
apoplexy, epilepsy, &C, as results of drink-
ing, are far more common now than they
were half a century ago; and the reason is
not that alcohol .is‘ more deadly, but that
other poisons have been added to it that
equally sap the citadel of life. Young men!

as you love your God, your country, your

families and yourselves, be entreated neither
to make or sell, difi‘use nor imbibe, any kind
of alcoholic beverage. ' .

0. Bit 'A GOOD Cranium—There are some
who seem to fancy it saintly, oraristocratic,
or something other than unpairioiic and
paltry, to leave public afi‘airs unneeded to
go as they may, ' but he ’ cannot be a
IthOroughly goOd man who ignores or habit-
ually neglects those public responsibilities
which flow directly fiom citizenship in a

try, there will [be some who 'seek- personal
aggrnndizement through the control of poli-
tical machinery; and. every citizen who
’neglecis his public duties, renders himself
the accomplice of these self-seekers. 'If no

.and even a fortune, though a guarantee for 3

laws, unless one counts the latter violations _

made worse by each habitual abstention
from the performance of political duties.
He‘ who sells his vote to the highest bidder
is just twice as bad as his neighbor who
does'not vote at all. I question the fidelity
to his trust of the man who feels at liberty
to disregard his obligations to do whatever
he houesltly may, toward placing political
power in capable and worthy hands. And
the pretense that this involves a heavy
sacrifice of time and'means is utterly futile.
I assert that an average of one da‘yjper ar-
num will fully suffice for the just and faith-
ful performance of any private citizen’s
public or political duties.

As to ofilce, I hold that the good citizen
will neithér solicit'it at any man’s hands,
nor will he decline it when its duties are
within his capacity and do not involve a
sacrifice greater than he can honestly make.
If to accept, must cause his children to go
hungry, or his debts .to go unpaid, then it
can rarely be his duty to impose such priva-
tions on others. But if he can do what is
required of him and yet fulfill all his obliga-
tions to his family or his creditors, then it is
this duty to accept, and set an example of
conscientious and circumspect performance
of duties which others .may contemplate
iwnh profit. If he waits tobe solicited such
iresponsibilities are not likely to be laid upon
ghiln very frequently? . ' , ,

8. HUSBAND . Your; Tum—Of all our
prodigalities, the squandering of hours and
days is most universal and pernicious.
Three-fourths of our race lavish their hours
as though this life were to last forever, and
the waste of‘to-day might readily be renew-
ed by the diligence of tomorrow: when, in ‘
fact, a lost day.is rarely redeemed and never
recovered. And I judge the waste of time
in youth more prevalent than in later years.

If I could only persuade you to set down in

WILL—I do not insist that a debt should,
under no circumstances, be incurred. I do
maintainiain that the contingency is rare
indeed, in which a wise and true man will
considerable involve himself in the meshes
of debt. Yet how readily, how recklessly,
most of our young men incur debtl. To
“get into businessf’—which general means
to get a living otherwise than bydownright
workalmost any "poor youth will rush heels
overhead into debt, fancyin‘g that he can
easily pay, by and by, a sum which exceeds
his entire fortune; whereas, a majority will
never be free again while they live. Young '
men! go to work, and earn and save, and
never owe more dollars than you shall have
previously earned and saved. I can’t help
hoping for the day when those who lend
without exacting security will be told to
collect their debts, if they can, and not ask .
'the State to do it for them.

 

One of the Worst Places Redeemed.

 

A missionary of the American Sunday- '
School Union in Tennessee reports: “After
much effort a Sunday-school was organized
in J '_ ,the county seat of C—_ ' " 'coun-
ty. It was one of the worst places in Ten-
ncsee. The superintendent said ‘he had
been afraid to live there with his family!
The preachers said 3 ‘it was worse than
Sodom ;’ and refused to preach there.

“A change for the better soon followed
the organization of the Sunday school.
Many of the most wicked began to inquire
what they shoiild do to be saved. Ministers
of the Gospel were induced to preach there-
A precious revival followed, and many were
converted. The Sunday-school has grown
from a few t5 over 150. Nearly all the
young peoplg and several heads of families,
are in regular attendance. A new impulse
has been given to the business of the place.
Good order, education,and religion are re-
spected. The county jail is empty. A num-
ber of new schools for the moral and religi-
ous culture of the young—among which is
a higher institution of learning-have been
started. ' A change for good is witnessed in
the surrounding country.” Such' is the old

 

 

Progress of the Northern Pacific
Railroad.
The energy with which the building of
this great thoroughfare is being pushed for-
ward is an added guaranty of its early com-
pletion and its wise management. We
learn from the financial agents of the road
Messrs._Jay Cooke & Co. , that, at the pres-
ent date, the grading is nearly finished for
266 miles, from Lake Superior; through cen-
tral Minnesota, to the custom border of Da-
kota; trains are running, over 130 miles of
completed track; the Mississippi river is
bridged at Brainerd andonce more joined to
the Lakes by rail, and track-laying is rapid-
ly progressing westward; By September

grading will probably be far advanced to-
WArd the Great Bend of the Missouri river
in Central Dakota.

In the meantime work has been commen-
ced the present season on the Pacific coast;
a large force of men is already employed in
the valley of the Columbia river, in Wash-
.ington Territory, and hereafter the work of
construction will be pushed both eastward
and westward toward the centre with such
rapidity as the best interests of the Road
may justify.

Including its purchase of the St. Paul and
'Pacific Road, the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company has.413 Miles of Road now in Op-
eration, and before the close of the present
season the length of finished track will be at
least 560 miles. The new highway to the
Pacific is being constructed at the. lowost
cost compatible with first-class work.

THE NEW ZEALAND NAM.

The men are tall and well formed, the
features regular, complexion from a light
brown to darker shades ofthat color, hair
black and generally straight, Many of
them are splendid looking fellows; with
their musculdr and well formed limbs they
look every inch the noble savage. Their
powers of endurance are very great; they
are intelligent, quick to learn, and have
splendid memories. In trade they are shrewd
in morals liceniious.

They are a very inquisitive set. When I
was living in Auckland a Maori was, one
day pushingihe store and sawme working a
sewing machine; he appeared very much
interested, came in and watched me some
time, and then went away. An hour after
he came back with several companions, and
_I was requested to work the machine again.
For a week I had no peace; all the Maoris,
”I think, for miles around, came to see the
machine, and at last they became such a uni-
sance that I would not allow ,them in the
store. . -
Some of them are good speakers, and very
‘clever'in argument. .They must have a clear
space of at least thirty feet, and at every sen-
tence the speaker runs, jumps, and dances
claim this space. Running backward he
gains time to think of what shall follow, and
down he comes, dancing, with another sen-
tence. As warriors they are superior to any
savage nation in the world. They have
studied war' as a science; have a good
knowledge of engineering, and are brave
and active. . A - A

At bush-fighting one Maori is more than a
mommy five wliiie soldiers. In all other
‘couu that England has colonized little
regard has been paid to the claim of the na-
tives to their own land; but, in New Zeal-
.and, Government was forced to acknowl—
edge the claims of the Maoris.

At WellingtOn I once saw a rather comical
sight, showing how the chiefs ape the whites.

The steamer Was jfist about to sail, when
hurrying down the wharf came a Maori,
‘dresscd , as followsz—a‘ black frock coat,
black waistcoat, black silk hat, white shirt
and fancy neck-tie; in one hand an umbrel-
la and in the other a new portmanteau; but
without pantaloons or boots. . They were
pobably in the portmanieau. All travelers

fcarried baggage, so.he thought: he must do

it, even if it necessitated theliaking off of

:some of his clothing. ' '1 '

The Maori mode-of "sanitation is some-
what peculiar, and especially so when the
friends have not met for sometime. Instead
of shaking hands or kissing, they rub their
noses together for' several minutes, and then
sitting on the ground, sway 'their bodies to
and fro, all the time shedding tears copious-
ly, and talking most mournfhlly in a sing-
soug. strain. The crying is not necessarily

because some relative or friend has died, it

is simply a custom of the people.

They begin their war-dance by jumping,
clapping the hands on the thighs, and giv-
ing’ utterance to a short, peculiar DOise from
the throat, like “Hui Hui” They all keep
perfect time in this, and as they continue the
motions become quicker and more exciting.
Soon come horrible grimaces, rolling of the
eyes until the whites only can be seen, thrust-
ing out the tongue, and yelling; in their
fury and excitement they sometimes tear off
what clothing they may have on, and with

violent gestures and contorii‘ons of body

they continue until exhaustion compels them
to desist. —I4’rom “Life; in the Cannibal
