Judge Davis.
7 The quiet case and the celerity with which
the Democrats in the Senate were made to
"drop their stolen goods” by the election of
Judge David Davis, would be irresistibly
mirth-provoking save for the specific gravrty
‘7"of the Judge, who is reported to “kick the
beam” at over three hundred. The sharp
Democratic Senators were fairly outgeneraled
in their craftiness, and the mortifying defeat
of their “grab game" has made them the
laughing-stock of the Nation. They are now
floundering about in a vain endeavor to ex-
tricate themselves, but they will be doomed
to defeat. As for Judge Davis, no more
honorable, dignified or straightforward man
can be found in the Senate. He was the
warm and trusted friend of President Lin-
coln, and Gen. Logan and others knew what
they were about when they brought forward
the name of Judge Davis for the Presidency
'of the Senate. ‘
In one aspect, this selection is of the most
serious importance. It removes all incentive
for any “crank” or desperado to attempt the
life of President Arthur in the hope of rem-
stating the Democratic party into power in
the national administration.

All Hail Ohio.
Ohio elects her Republican Governor and
Legislature by the overwhelming majority of
fu1l20,000. Two years ago it was 17,000.
A significant fact concerning the Ohio election
is that this is the first time the Republicans
have carried the State in the year following
a Presidential campaign since 1869.
#
Glorious Iowa.
Fifty thousand Republican majority is the
proud greeting Iowa sends to her loyal sister
states. Like steady and sturdy Vermont
Iowa may well be denominated “the Repub-
lican star that never sets.”

Yorktown.
Dr. Jas. G. Gregory accompanies Gov.
Bigelow and his fellow staff officers to the
Yorktown Celebration. The party goes out
on the steamer which takes out the Connec-
ticut Regiment and so will have accommo-
dations self-provided, on their arrival there.
There is great complaint of a want of ade-
quate provision for the entertainment of the
crowds likely to attend. Wednesday and
Thursday are to be the great days.
fl
Tallmadge Baker.
The nomination of the above gentleman
for State Senator in our newly reconstructed
13th District, is a guarantee of election.
Mr. Baker is well knowa to the whole State,
as its late efiicient Treasurer and as amember
of the Legislature. No honest man or body
of men who seek an- honest candidate can
object to TALLMADGE Barren.

The case of Cook & Hilton as. the Norwalk
oystermen began in the Superior Court last
week. Some time ago Judge Hall granted
an injunction restraining the oystermen from
taking oysters from the grounds claimed to
be owned by Messrs. Cook 85 Hilton, which
comprise some thirty-five acres. The de—
fendants claim that the grounds referred to
are natural beds and therefore they have
the right to take the oysters therefrom. 0n
the other hand the plaintiffs claim, ,that, if
they are natural beds, their title still holds
good in accordance with a validatory act
passed by the General Assembly in 1878. The
case is of considerable interest to oystermen
and the result will belooked forward to with
interest. -

There was a large attendance at St.Paul’s
Church on Wednesday afternoon last to wit-
ness the marriage of Miss Amie W. ,daughter
of Gen. R. B. Craufurd, and Mr George D.
Thornton, of New York. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Mr. Walsh of Newbnrgh,
New York, who was assisted by Rev. Mr.
Selleck, Rectorpijt. Paul's, and Rev. Mr.
Sanford. After receiving the warm cou-
gratulations of their many friends, the happy
couple departed on their wedding? journey to
’ Yorktown and Richmond.
The Columbiad fired at the late election by
the Reform Club, evidently did execution at
both ends. The wounds at the rear were
worse than those in the front, and the dam-
age to the Club may be said to be critical.
The Club is not self-supporting, but depends
upon the public for its very existence. The
public confidence in the Club has been shat-
tered and unless something is soon done to re-
store that confidence and retrieve its lost
standing the fate of the Club is sealed. The
immediate result of this action of the Club
is the resignation of the president and secre-
tary whose wise counsels were unheeded and
the matter pushed in spfie of their disappro-
bation. Certainly the Club can never expect
to have a better or more worthy ofiicer than
Mr. Hallock, or one more devoted to the good
work for which the Club was organized. He
had the respect and confidence of the com-
munity, and in losing his services the Club
has met 'with serious loss. Will the Club
make anhonert effort to retrieve its runner
position, or will il blindly continue to follow
the lead, of the bad’ advisers?

The Railroad Survey.
The survey by the engineers from the Har-
lem road has made more rapid progress, and
we learn that they find the proposed line to
be one that cannot fail to make a good and'
safe road, and one which can be run with
great speed, as the grade and curvitures will
be less than on competing lines in this
State. and we believe that this route will
soon be under contract.
Many of our readers are perhaps not aware
that the present located line of the Parallel
road is almost identical with the line on
which the New York and New Haven rail-
road was chartered, and should have been
built, and but for a piece of sharp legislation
by which the commissioners (then appomted
for each road) were allowed in an amendment
of the charter to make changes in the line,
supposed by the members only to refer to
slight changes to avoid obstructions, but
after the legislature adjourned Professor
Twining was discharged and a new chief
engineer appointed, a new line run over a
cheap right of way, across harbors, below
the line of population in every town on the
line except Bridgeport, the road contracted
for in a lump, and the contractors made a
good thing out of it but the public had to
suffer, as the road was thrown on the com-
pany not nearly completed, and the loss of
life caused by accidents was fearful for some
three ygs after trains commenced running
over the road.
Some effort was made in Greenwich by
application for an injunction to restrain the
company from bridging their harbor, but was
not successful,while in the good old Borough
of Norwalk the business men, with one or
two exceptions, were glad enough to have
the road go below the Borough, as they
thought and declared that the trains would
frighten the horses of some half a dozen
market wagoners that run to the packets on
market days. What wisdom died and will
have died when these shrewd men are gone.
We very much fear that the recently
whispered rumor that Vanderbilt bed closed
a bargain with the Parallel managers had no
foundation in fact. We have reason to, be-
lieve it at least premature. The Vanderbilt
surveys, however, continue. '
w
The Last Call.
Persons desiring to be made voters this
Fall must get in their applications immedi-
ately. The Registrars will be in session on
Thursday from 9 a.‘ m. to 5 p. m., for the
purpose of receiving applications, and will
deposit their first list with the Town Clerk
on the following day. Names must be en-
tered on this list, or the applicant cannot be
made. The Selectmen, at their sessions,
cannot consider any names not on this list.
Remember, therefore, and see that your
name is handed in to the Registrars in time.
The Selectmen, in this issue, give notice
of the days when they will be in session to
admit voters. The first day is the 26th inst.
We cannot expect to have any more oysters
until after the next election. The clayE oys-
termen are going to dabble in politics. very
candidate must pledge himself to stand by the
oystermen or suffer ignominious defeat. On
their side, however, there seems to be no one
authorized to pledge and deliver the solid
oyster vote. Probably every oysterman wil1
vote, when the time comes, according to the
dictates of his own conscience and not at the
bidding of somebody else. The city Reform-
ers also propose to settle the election to suit
themselves—and their “ardent” democratic
“friends.” How many other city organiza-
tions may yet seek to control the election by
splitting the Republican vote remains to be
seen.

John B. Gough in Boston.
The Boston Journal says that “John B.
Gough's fortieth year as a lecturer, after
more than eight thousand addresses, has not
found him with a waning faculty for enter-
taining an audience, was evidenced at Music
Hall, last evening. His lecture was deliver-
ed with a power and an aptness of illustra-
tion that gave it all the charm of novelty to
thelarge audience that listened to it. His
allusion to the late President Garfieldas an
example of how the brightness of a pure
a cordial round of applause.”
Mr. Gough’s lecture in Norwalk Opera
House, on Thursday evening, will be large-
ly attended and greatly appreciated. Reserv-
ed seats can now be obtained at Stanley’s for
50 and 75 cents. Every seat is numbered.
The Water Supply.
As we have had no rains to increase our
Borough water supply, and as the amount
stored is very limited, the Commissioners
have decided to shutoff the water at 8
o’clock this morning, and to turn it on daily
hereafter only between the hours of 6 and
8 a. m., until the supply is filncreased.
Users will therefore draw enough for daily
consumption during those hours. It is hoped
by this plan to cut off waste and leakage,
and thus save sufficient water for use in case
of a serious fire, and also prolong the supply
as long as possible. Under the circumstances
consumers must cheerfully submit to the sit-
uation.

The Registrars will hold tWo sessions next
week for the purpose of revising their lists.
The first list willrbe printed and circulated,
and the people will have opportunities of ex-
amining the same. If any name appears on
the list which ought not to be there on
account of death, removal or other cause, the
fact should be reported to the Registrars at

fact should also be reported, for no names

LAFAYETTE IN NORWALK.
The Grand Centennial of the surrender of
Cornwallis at Yorktown, Va., thus ending
our Revolutionary War, is to be celebrated
this week, and among the distinguished vis-
itors to take part is the grandson of the Gen-
era], the Marquis de LaFayctte. Apropos of
this and as being of local interest, we repro-
duce from our files of Auousr 24,1824, an
account of the reception here of the illustri-
ous LaFayette himself, on his second visit to
this country, while on route from New York
to Boston. He held a reception at the Nor-
walk Hotel which was very generally attend-
ed by our citizens, eager and anxious to take
the General by the hand and thank him for
the part he had taken in our national strug-
gle for Liberty. The occasion is probably
well remembered by our oldest citizens, and
we have heard Rev. S. B. S. Bissell and
Messrs. Eli B. Bennett and Gould D.|Jennings
speak of the occasion and of the appearance
of LaFayette. He was escorted by our local
military company. In connection with the
general celebration now progressing, this ac-
count of the visit of LaFayette will be read
with much interest as of a timely and local
One of the gentlemen above
mentioned, in speaking of the reception, says
that Mrs. Joseph Meeker, who was quite a
portly lady, had much trouble in gaining ad-
mission to LaFayette. but after persistent cf-
fort she succeeded, and grasping the General
warmly- by the hand, remarked : “Well,
General, if you had as much trouble in fight-
ing the British as I have had to get in here to
shake hands with you, you must have had a
hard time indeed.
We copy as follows:
Much of this paper is devoted to a descrip-
tion of the grateful reception at New York of
that steadfast friend of liberty, LA FAYETTE
whose arrival we briefly noticed in our last——
In this and in any other country was there ev-
er witnessed such an universal expression of
profound respect and heart-felt gratitude to
one individual as has been manifested on this
occasion towards Gen. La Fayette, The
bursts of applause and the shouts of welcome
which fell upon the ear rre confined to no
party, age, nor sex,—all feel the same im-
_ pulse—all unite in honoring the man to whom
under Providence, we are so much indebted
for our liberty and present prosperity. When
taking by the hand his few remaining com-
panions in arms, and beholding in what af-
fectionate remembrance his name is held by
the descendants of those with whom he
fought and bled in the cause of liberty, what
delightful associations and tender recollec-
tions must crowd upon his memory, and
thrill his soul with joy! and how little will
he regret the sacrifices which he made for
suchapeople! Surely, he will feel that it
can no longer be said ‘Republics are always
ungrateful.’
The account on the preceding page are to
the time of his departure from New York for
Boston on Friday morning last. He left the
city about 3 o’clock in a coach driven by four
elegant grey horses, attended by his son, the
committee of the Common council,Ald.Hone
and Col. D. 0. Golden. He was escorted to
Harlaem by a large body of troops and citi-
zens, and after resting half an hour receiving
the congratulations of the inhabitants be pro.
ceeded and arrived at Byram (30 miles) in 3
hours after leaving New York. A regiment of
horse artillery from the city escorted him as
far as Putnam’s Heights, Horse-Neck, where
he alighted amidst the shouts of the assem-
bled multitudc, and viewed the celebrated
spot where Gen-Putnam made his miraculous
escape from the British troops in the Rev-
olutionary war. To some of the by-standers
the General observed that Washington and
himself once rode five miles Out of their way
to visit the Spot. A salute was fired at the
place, after which the military escort from N
York returned ,and he continued his journey
under an escort of troops from Stamford and
of citizens from the adjoining towns. Af-
ter remaining at Stamford long enough to re-
ceive the congratulations of the people be
pursued his journey and arrived in Norwalk
in the dusk of the evening. Here consider-
able preparation had been made to receive
military escort, accompanied by a band of
music, and alighted amidst the discharge of
musquetry, the roar of cannon, and the
cheerings of the hundreds ,who had assemr
bled to bid him welcome.:He was conducted
into the house and introduced to a great
number of ladies and gentlemen, whom he
most familiarly and affectionately took by
the hand, often expressing his thanks for
their attention. The‘scene was interesting
beyond description, and was well calculated
to draw tears from eyes that do not uset)
weep. Such an excitement was never before
witnessed here. It was felt and acknowl-
edged by all, and by none will it be soon
forgotten. The feelings of the son on the
occasion were also, as may well be supposed
powerfully excited. To an inquiry whether
he was not very much fatigued he replied
with tears streaming from his eyes, ‘0, how
can I be fatigued .while so much attention
and respect is paid to my father.’ The Gen.
eral and his suite resumed their journey
about half past eight o’clock, and as they
crossed the Bridge stoppeda moment to gaze
upon an arch which had been erected during
the day and illuminated in the evening,
bearing the inscription, WELCOME LA FAY-
ETTE.’ Here he was again cheered as he
passed on, after which the assemblage peace-
ably dispersed, rejoicing in this opportunity
of manifesting their respect to the mail whom
they had always been taught to admire for
his virtues and patriotism. —The Gen-
eral took supper in Fairfield, lodged in
Bridgeport, and arrived in New Haven about
ten o’clock on Saturday morning, where he
was received and treated with suitable at-
tention.

Gough’s “Experiences."
There was a rush at Stanley’s yesterday
morning by persons desiring to obtain good
seats for Mr. Gough's lecture, which is to be
given at the Opera Hours on Thursday even-
ing. It is evident by the looks of the dia-
gram yesterday afternoon that the lecturer
would be grafted by a fine audience. No
extra charge is made for reserved seats, and
all who wish to hear the lecture should se-
cure a seat at once. This is Mr.Gough’s for-
tieth year on the lecture platform, and he has
delivered over 8,000 lectures. The Boston
papers says that his lecture Tuesday evening
last was very attractive, and that his power
to please, instruct and entertain does not
wane one bit. An immense audience greeted
him and often gave him great applause, es-
pecially when he so eloquently alluded to the
late President-of the U. S. ’

The arrest of Senator Mahone on a charge
that he intended to fight a duel with General

for dueling purposes. The complainant on
whose aflidavit the warrant for the arrest of
Mahone was issued is an eccentric person,
and his unsupported evidence is not generally
accepted as establishing the charge.
Mahone’s friends say that the Virginia Bour-
bons are striving their utmost to get rid of
him, peacefully if” they can, violently if they
must, in order that the democrats may con-

convranmrosr: ‘ .
13th District.
The first convention of the Republicans
of the now 12th Senatorial District,comprosed
of the towns of Norwalk, Westport, Fairfield,
Trumbull, Weston and Stratford, convened
,at the Adams House, Norwalk, on Saturday
the 15th inst. It was quite fully attended,
all of the towns except Westport being rep-
resentd, and Norwalk friends generously
stepped in and filled up their quota.
The convention ,was quite harmonious in
its results, and developed during the course
of business a very unusual, but earnest and
first-class, speaking talent,—cnough for, and
more than often met, with even in a State
convention. The speakers, being notably
Messrs. E. J. Hill, J. B. Hurlbutt, S. E.
Olmstead, C. Olmstead, and J. W. Scott of
Norwalk, J. H. Perry and A. R. '1‘. Nichols
of Fairfleld, W. Coggswell of chton, and
L. S. Catlin of Stratford. _
The convention was called to order by
Hon. John H. Perry of Fairficld, and on
motion Henry P. Stagg of Stratford, was
elected Chairman and George M. Olmstcad
of Norwalk, Secretary.
Messrs. S. E. Olmstcad of Norwalk, Eu-
gene Morehousc of Stratford and Nathan B.
Johnson of Weston, were appointed a com-
mittee on Credentials, who reported the fol-
lowing :

Mr. Lyman S. Catlin of Stratford, in a few
brief remarks presented the name of Hon.
Tallmadge Baker of Norwalk, for nomination
as Senator for the 13th District. He was
seconded by P. M. Olmstead of Westport in
glowing and laudable terms, and endorsed
by Messrs, Scott of Norwalk, Perry of
Fairfield and Hurlbutt of Westport.
A formal ballot being --ordered was taken
with following result: .
Tallmadge Baker, Norwalk, 17
Seth Hill, Trumbull, 2
The vote being announced one of the
Trumbull delegates arose to explain that the
votes for Mr. Hill were given on the sup-
position that the lst ballot was an informal
one, it would have been different'if they had
understood that it was a formal ballot. On
motion the nomination of Hon. Tallmadge
Baker of Norwalk, was made unanimous.
A Senatorial Committee of one from each
town was then elected'as follows:
Norwalk—J. B. Hurlbutt.
Westport—H. P. Burr.

that the subject of delegations in f uturc con-
ventions be considered and fixed.

Fairfield East" Consociation.
The 150th annuaLmecting of this body
was held at Newtown last Tuesday. Rev.
J. W. Hubbell was chosen Scribe and Rev.
G. F. Waters Moderator.
A very interesting sermon was preached
by‘Mr. Hubbell from Mat, 16318 on “The
{ability and Security of the Church. ”
The topic, “Worship, why neglected, and
how Promoted ?” was discussed earnestly by
Rev. A. 0. Pierce and others. 7 7
The Communion of the Lord’s Supper was
enjoyed. ' ‘
From the reports on the state of religion
in the churches, it appearcd that there had
been uoyvery extensive'revival of religion
during the ycnr and yet that there had been
considerable additions t‘o‘the churches. The
churches in Bethe] and Brookfield have
procured :new organs and materially im-
proved their‘ houses of worship at large ox-
pense.
Two pastors have been missed, Mr. Her-
shey from the Second Church in Danbury,
and Mr. Davenport from the Park Church
in _Bridgeport. The last has extended
to Mr. Thrall of Washington a call, which
has been accepted. Mr. Higgins is about
leaving Huntington for Mt.Carmel, and Mr.
Wilson will probably soon leave Olivet
Church in'Bridgeport.
Redding was selected as the place of the
next annual meeting, Rev. S. H. Dana the
preacher, and Rev. C. R. Palmer his substi-
tute, and for a committee of arrangements,
Rev. W. J. Jennings, Rev. G. F. Waters
and Deacou'T. M. Abbott.
Mr. Hubbell was re-nominatod to the
State Conference asa member of the commit-
tee on Fellowship and Work.
The county was divided into two sections
northern and southern, and a committee ap-
pointed in each.
Rev. Messrs. Pierce and Frost, and Rev.
Messrs. Dana and Palmer, to superintend
meetings for the promotion of the observance
of the Sabbath and christian fellowship.
Delegates were appointed to the State
Conference, which meets to day at West
W lasted.
The meeting was well attended, and was
deeply interesting and profitable.‘ It is ajoy
that the pastors and churches feel it a duty
and privilege to attend these meetings.

dividual who has secured an injunction to re-
strain the operations of the oystermen, and
they are seeking its dissolution. The in-

There is trouble between the chief of po-
lice and the chief of the fire department. It
seems at the fire on the evening of Oct. 6,
Chief Engineer McGowan gave certain orders
in regard to changing streams which Chief
Pelhnm countermanded and has informed the
Mayor he shall continue to do the same un-
der similar circumstances. The members of
the dye department say “if Mr. Pelham in.
terfcres with the orders of their chief again,
they will turn the streams upon him and
wash off , some of his self-importance and
general crabbidness and endeavor to teach
him that he is not chief of the fire and police
forces.” Although Mr. Pelham is a model
officer, it seems his acoociates fail to compre-
hend his fine points. It is rumored that un-
der the new deal, Marshal-elect Kinney may
have the opportunity of wearing the uniform
and of acting as grand sachem of the city
police. '
The nomination of Hon. Tallmadgc Baker
for State Senator, is one very gratifying to
the Republicans here and as annoying to the
democrats. But they put on a bold front
and assert they are sure to win in the com-
ing election, so far as the senatorial contest
is concerned, and they base their claims on
these grounds: first—that through the influ-
ence of their members who ‘are connected
with the Reformed Men’s Association, they
will induce them to run a separate ticket for
Senator, then they will work assiduously to
get every Republican in the Association to
vote the so-called temperance ticket, while
on the sly, they will vote for the regular
Democratic nominee. Secondly—they claim
to have made an arrangement with the Oyster
Association, which runs through every shore
town in the district, whereby the oystermen
are to vote for a Democratic Senator, while
the Democrats are to vote for a Republican
oysterman for Representative. Thirdly—
Mayor-elect Swartz is to be the third nomi-
nee. At least General Taylor and Richard
Golden have been appointed delegates, and
on Saturday, Mayor Swartz was strongly
urged to accept the nomination if it should
come to him. But so far, the Mayor has not
"struck” at the tempting bait prepared by his
own enthusiastic friends. He is to shrewd
and farsighted to clip his young and fast-
growing wings by entering a contest with
Mr. Baker. But the Democrats say here is
the place where their candidate should come
from, and if the better judgment of Mr.
Swartz cannot be overcome, they may bring
General Taylor to the front. In fact, a dele-
gation of Democratic oystermen waited upon
the General and with profound bows and a
suitable amount of obscquious reverence, ex-
pressed their desiro that he should become
the Democratic senatorial nominee, and then
and there pledged the oyster vote throughout
the District to the Democratic candidate
- These are all cunningiy-plauncd schemes and
sufficiently artful to have originated in the
Sentinel building. The Democrats claim the
oystermen are all aware of this bargain, and
that even Capt. Bell of Five Mile River has
endorsed it. The latter part of this claim is
certainly false. The oystermen are not to be
caught in any such way. Furthermore, but
a very few of them are knowing to any such
bargain, and the better informed of them see
at once that it would be the most direct and
positive way of defeating the very object
they have in view. namely, the preventing of
steam dredging. They have no trouble about
securing favorable legislation in the House
of Representatives, but the contest comes in
the Senate. The Coming Senate will be Re-
publican whether the 13th District goes one
way or the other, by at least six majority,
perhaps eight. To leave out of question the
fact that there will be Democratic votes in
the Senate for steam dredging, thc Republi-
cans have it in their power to pass laws that
-will favor the steam or the sail boat interests.
In the face of these facts, the Republican
oystermen of this district, leaving out of
consideration their natural afiiliation with
the Republican party, will not. desert it at
the hour when itis of the greatest importance
to them to have its aid in the Stale. Tall-
madge Baker is a man of wide acquaintance,
of much legislative experience and of exten-
sive influence—tho very best man to repre-
sent the interest of the oystermen and the
district.

DEAR GAZETTE: ~
The shortness of the water supply, which
is causing so much inconvenience, is not al-
together a new thing; it is only somewhat
worse than it has been every year when the
rain fall has been deficient. Our water sup-
ply, which, unless I am much mistaken, was
spoken of as sufficient for a city of 40,000
inhabitants, and which was certainly suppos-
ed to be sufficient for South Norwalk and
Norwalk both, turns out to be insufficient for
even the small number who use it. Shall we
go on year after year in the same way ? Is it
not the part of good sense and good judgment
to stop our leaks and increase our storage
capacity and so make the most of the supply;
and is not their just the time to do the work?

DEAR GAznT'raz—I send you some of the
bones of the sermon delivered by Rev. B. S.
Storrs, D. D., at Black Rock, on Friday, 13th
inst—the occasion being that of the installa-
tion of Rev. H. C. Woodrqu. Text from
John 4:23—“The father seckcth such to wor-
ehip‘ Him." In all the great ethnic religions
of the world mankind appears as seeking
after God ; this consonant search must con-
vince us that Gui exists, unless the race is
and always has been, crazy. In the Christ-
ian religion—~the religion of the Bible—this
is reversed, and God is represented as calling
His people to Him—calling them by His
prophets, by judgments, by captivity. This
search on His part implies that they have
wandered from Him, and while He is repre—
sented as scarchin g, they appear as withdraw-
ing from Him. Jesus appears as calling men
in a manner different from all others. “Come
unto me.” No other has dared to say this as
He did. We may say “Come unto me" that
you may learn history, that you may learn
art, that you may study science. He said
“Come unto me” that you may see God.
The Gospel is all invitation. Other religions
holders in the frantic attempt to light up the
darkness of nature; this religion is like the
sun. Man is afraid to think of God as seek-
ing after Him ; the lower races think of the
lightning, the earthquake, the storm, as God
seeking them, and they fear ; when man,
highly civilized man, thinks of God as so far
away that it is absurd to think of Him as
seeking them. Science says it is inconceiv-
able that God, who has so many worlds to
in théir courses, should seek after so small a
thing as a man. But the fact that God rcp-
rcsents himself as seeking after man shows
that in man there is that which is worth
seeking. The highest culOgy ever pronounc-
ed on human nature was when the Son of
God said that “The Father seeketh” man.
God compels the water to find its level; He
compels the storm, released from its bed on
compels the planets to move in their orbits
without the loss of a millionth part of a
second in thousands of years; all nature He
compels, but man He seeks. He does does not
come to the earth and recall to Himself the
gold, that He may pave with it the floor of
heaven; He does not seek the diamonds
and the precious stones, that He may use
them as the foundation of the new Jerusa-
lem; He seeks nothing from this earth, noth-
ing but that which is more precious than all
these—tho soul of tuna. Let this church,
its bell, the meetings for prayer and praise,
the ministrations of your pastor. all remind
you that God is seeking we. G.
