Editor and Proprietor,
Into and out of Infidelity.
(000900000 91100 .LAST WREN)
I neva oared for money simply for He
own sake, and never found any pleasure
in stacking Up a pile of dollars merely to
look at them. I had never had much
hope that I would ever live anywhere
outside of this world, and so I had prom-
ised myeelf that if I ever reached a point
where I could give up business, and lead
a life of ease and enjoymenb, I would do
it. I set my stake at what I considered
a reasonable competency, and said to
myself : "When X get there I will gait."
One of the most aurprisiug things to me
Now is that I had the nerve to do it, for
at the time of my retirement I had an
income of several thousand dollars per
annum, wbioll Was steadily growing.
Surely the hand of God Was directing,
and I did not know it. When God wants
a man, hew quickly the strongest grip

nese interests, and retired to a beautiful
farm which I had purchased the year be-
fore, near Liberty, Ind. I had long
sighed for the quietude of rural life, and
believed that the oo33diE1On of true ease
and content could not be found outside
of it. I bad an idea that the farmer was
the most independent man in the world,
and this, coupled with my leveler nature,
led me to Beek a home beyond the dust
of the city. My withdrawal was noted
and commented upon by the Oinoinnati
papers as an unusual event, on account
of the readiness with which I turned my
beck upon excellent proepeots while still
comparatively young in years and favor.
ed with good health. My basineee friends
all thought I was pureeing a foolish
course to retire while I bad each a fine
opportunity for becoming wealthy, and
urged me to go on for ten or twenty years
before I thought of stopping. Bet I told
them I did not want riches. What I
wanted was to enjoy life while I could,
and with thie resolve I went to my farm,
with the boast that I was now independ•
ent of both man and God.
My firet Summer in the country was
one of the greatest treats I ever enjoyed.
I felt like a boy out of school, with no.
thing to drive, harry or worry me.
"Surely," I thought, "this ie living, and
no mistake about it." I set about im-
proving my place, and poured out money
upon it. It was to be my home for the
remainder of my life, I thought, and I
would have everything to edit me. Ao.
eordingly I began building an elegant
mansion, with all the city improvemeate,
and adding many other features of an
ornamental and expensive nature.
My influence in my new home was
openly against the °hatch. I talked in•
fidelity in the stores, on the streets, and
wherever I went ; and I also lived it. I
did not attend thumb, or seek associates
among Christian people. I kept wine in
my cellar, cut wheat and played billiards
on Sunday, became president of a pro-
gressive euchre club, openly boaeted of
my benevolence and philanthropic mo-
tives, and olaimed for myself more than
average morality. Truly I might say
with Paul, "that after the strictest eeot
Ilived a Pharisee," Surely, from a
human otaudpoint, at that time there
was as mach probability that the moon
would euddenly drop into the sun as that
I would become a Christian.

After two or three years rest on my
farm, I was induced to become the ao•
credited editor of the Chicago Ledger,
though about all I had to do was to write
Thr it each week a page of humor. I con-
tinued to reside in the country, doing my
work there, but the Winter of 1886.6 I
spent with my family in Chicago. Some
time in January X noticed the fact an•
flounced in the daily papers that D. L.
Moody had arrived, and would hold a
abort series of revival meetings. I had
some ourioeity to see and hear the famous
evangelist, though I had long einceoeaeed
to Dare about the cause he advocated,
For years I had dismissed the subject of
religion almost entirely from my mind.

years intervening. I simply wanted to
see and hear Moody at I would any

thought I ; "the same old story—mesio

The sermon that followed was the Bret
one on love I ever heard In my life. I
had never listened to 9a.331 preaching be-
fore. It had aiwaya-bean my fortune to
get the law eide of the question when I
went to (thumb, and that had seemed to
stir up the very devil in me. Whenever
anybody would put a fence in front of

poetic, sentiment, but ae Moody told It
with his heart on fire, I saw in i6 the
pare gospel of God's unspeakable love,
Religion that taught such grace ae that,
I could believe in. It W60 exactly what
my heart called for, It wee the kind of
salvation I needed. There was sense in
it. There was love in it. It upset all
theories of thought, and went direct :to
the heart. I forgot to be Critical. I
forgot to observe the audience, I forgot
that I hated the Bible. X forgot that X
could not believe that Christ was the
Son of God. I forgot that the weather
Wae gold, the wind shrieking without,
and the house sparsely comfortable. I
forgot everything, exoept that a plain,
unpretending mac was standing before
mo, and apparently talking direotly to
me, with an earnestness and simplicity
that convinced me he believed every word
of his utterauoe. From his first words I
listened to him spellbound. I knew that
I could love such a God as he described,
and I believed it would be a joy to serve
Him.
At the oleo of the sermon en invita-
tion was given to those wlio would like to
know the God of whom the speaker had
been talking to stand up, and I arose,
among many others. It was then re-
quested that all of these would meet the
evangelist in an inquiry meeting to be
held in the room below at the close of
the service. I hurriedly left the gallery
and went down upon the main floor ; but
I saw no way of getting to the lecture
room. Juet then a door opened, and let
the cold air from the street in upon me.
This seemed to call me to myself, and I
was about to go out with the crowd, with
the thought : "You are a fool for what
you have done. Why let this matter
Dome up again ? You wont carefully
over the whole ground years ago, and
settled it for all time. Drop the subject
forever and get out of this. Moody's
magnetism has affeoted you ; get away
from it."
But just then another door opened in
my face, leading to the lecture room, and
With a determination to at least hear

walked to the room below ; went to the

DOMINION GRANGE.
The nineteenth annual session of the
Dominion Grange convened in the parlor
of the Albion hotel, Toronto, last week.
The chair was taken by the worthy
master, Peter Hepinstall, of Fordwioh.
The following were the delegates in at-
tendan oe :—

man.
In a very felietous address the worthy
master outlined the aims of the society,
whieh were to strengthen attachment to
the farming industry, to teeter oo.oper-
ation of effort, to systematize work, to
diseountenanoe the credit system, to
resist monopolies, to oppose high salaries
and exhorbitant rates of interest. The
address disclaimed any connection with
politica or creeds, and upheld independ.
ence of thought.
It was pleasant to notice that the pleb.
ieoite vote was especially strong among
the farmers. The P. of I. and the P. P.
A. also bade fair to purge politics. The
"initiative and referendum," "cumulative
voting" and "single tax" were also int.
portant questions. Several of the dele.
paten then gave iotereeting reports of the
working of their local granges.
In regard to the platform of the Pat-
rons of Industry they had no hesitation
in recommending many of the planks
and would go still farther in respect to
economy and retrenchment throughout
the public service, including the reduction
of the number of County Councillors and
the abolition of the Grand Jury. The
Committee was not sure as to the wisdom
of the initiative and referendum advooat.

A etattetioian calculates that English
which at the commencement of the Den•
tory was spoken by 22,000,000 of people,
is now spoken by 100,000,000. This we
believe to be within the mark. Over 30,-
000,000 persona in Great Britain regard
English as their mother tongue, and
nearly 70,000,000 nee the language in
North America. Then we have the colo.
ries of English epeakere in Aeia, Africa
and Australia. Moreover, English has
become the language of , trade, and its
prestige is certain to continue as the
English epeakere proceed to control the
waete places of the earth, particularly
those of the great African region now
being opened to civilization. A student.
informs us that English, in its phrase-
ology, is far

guages. The total number of the words
of the German, French, Italian and
Spanish speeches oombined is about 180,

or 70,000 more words than the total of
the four tongues above named.
