The Clinton New Era, 1890-01-17, Page 3Sunday Reading It is .eqimsrted brat there are 11,000 ettl:vet'tions to Christianity par day. And there is plenty of tari*l left to work upon. ,Aarebdeacon hues, of Liverpool, at 8a is thought to bo the oldest Oiet'gymaxt• ,,m the ngLsh Church, having, been 111 the orders 74 years. .A,.s the old weather approaches it way ba, won to remember that of I;3 churobes burned in 1$98, f..70,OW,hedtheir destruction to de- te0tiv0- Avner • Talmage is not going to have Ali the fan to himself in his new hhuro'h.

In the Scottish popular mind a Church beadle is a happy man. $ow much his post is coveted is shown by the fact of '700 applica- tions being received by a Glasgow west end congregation. An east end missionary is one of the can- didates and he offers to preach on an emergency. Grace Church, New York, is famous for its music. The organ- ist gets a salary of $5,000 a year, the leading soprano $2,500 more, and the other singers receive sala- ries aggregating ,$1,000. Besides this there is an army of servants connected with the edifice, whose salaries amount to at least $10,- 000. The sum of $100,000 has been set aside from the profits of the Methodist Book Concern to be us ed for the relief of superannated preachers. The concern gives $15,000 yearly to the support of denominational interests, and in its 100 years of existence it has contributed in this way the round sum of$1,600,000. Rev Dr. Sexton, who is at pre- sent in the old country, has been giving a series of lectures in Lon- don for the -'Christian Evidence Society' on 'Religious Certitudes.' and preaching in some of the lar- gest churches both in London and the provinces. The doctor has announced that he will return to this country early in the year. Japan is not so ready to sus• comb to Christianity as is com- monly supposed. New temples are being built with lavish ex- penditure. The one at Kioto has boon eleven years in construction and six years more will be requir- ed to complete it. Its total cost will exceed $10,000,000. • In con- nection with great temples of Kioto is a largo and well-equipped Buddhist college, . with a fine cur- riculum and a crowd of students: In a Buffalo Presbyterian Church recently, the pastor r•e- queeted that the people put their contributions for a certain object in an envelope, writing on the out- side an appropriate quotation from the Bible. When the collec- tion was taken up the pastor took each envelope and read the texts to the congregation. They were such passages as 'Cast thy bread upon the waters,' and 'The Lord will provide.' But there was a decided sensation in the Congrega- tion when the pastor picked up an . envelope and read. 'Tho fool and his money are soon parted.' .o t - Rev. John MCNeiI, of London (formerly of Edinburgh,) in a tact- . ' r; -tire delivered lately to the young men on "The Preacher and His Preaching," told thein that "he did not know anything that gave him a more mental refreshening than the reading a few months previously of 'Jane Eyre;' and he created much laughter by saying that "he would sell them his 52 volumes of Calvin very cheap, while they might have his John Owen for the carrying away 1" He further admitted that he said stupid things sometimes, for which he could bite his tongue, and when he got down into the valley of humiliation, in the vestry, he 9 would say to himself: "McNeil, yoou made a proper ass of yeurself def. 1414„: WS ,2,1•QTfr.oS. A laborer uarr4e4 41 1T11ar1 was blown. to oteees by dynamite ''Eartredey et Ottawa" The death uuuurred Thursday morning ox ;alt' James .Armstrong, J. P., the well known farmer and stook raiser of Yarmouth. De- ceased .hast been a sufferer for some months past ; in fact, since being thrown from his vehicle and seriously injured a. couple of years ago he had never been the same man. A sad tale of misery is related by a gentleman just down from the mining district of the Upper Levre, above Ottawa, of a family comprising father,mother and five children, Only one remains and that one is the head of the family. The dread disease, diphtheria, car- ried the remainder away. Willie,the t'wo-year-old son of Mr W. Wilson, of London West, met with a singular and fatal accident on Tuesday afternoon. The little fellow, it seems, was playing around the house with an elder brother, who was spinning a top for Willie's amusement, when by some means the younger child fell and struck the top with the back of hie head, pun°. turing the skull. Medical aid was at once procured, but the little fellow died in about six or seven hours after the accident. Wonders will never cease. A funeral has just taken place by mail ! The ashes of Dr John K. Bartlett, who was cremated at Los Angeles recently, were sent through the mails to a friend in Milwaukee. They were contained in a small rosewood box, which was buried in Dr.Bartlett's family plot in the latter city. The Dr. was a graduate of Yale, and a physician of high standing. .Humor has it that Prof. Robert- son, the dairying expert at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, has a chance to better himself. Ile is in receipt of a salary, of '$2,000 per annum, but it is said that the Dominion Gov- ernment will give all this and a thousand a year more if, he will transfer his usefulness to the Ex- perimental Farm at Ottawa. It is further stated that:Prof. Robert- son has decided to accept this tempting offer, and that he has sent his resignation to the Ontario Government. At a resent meeting of the Grand Lodge of Nebraska a rule was a- dopted which prohibits a saloon. keeper from becoming a Mason or remaining in the orders, e con-' tinues in' the business. The KnightsofLabor have a- similar rule. Now if these societies will pass a law boycotting the whiskey drinkers as well as the whiskey sellers it would show they were earnest temperance reformers. --- Whiskey selling is not the worst evil. It is the whiskey drinking that causes the mischief. William McMullen was blown to pieces at Ottawa,on Wednesday afternoon by dynamite. The un- fortunate man was engaged in blastingoper•ationsitnd was carry- ing dynamite from the magazine, where a fellow -workman named Farrell was thawing the cart- ridges. When When about ten feet from the magazine there was an explos- ion, followed by a cloud of duet. When the dust had cleared away McMullen was discovered to have been blown to pieces. It is sup- posed he let one of the catridges drop. The magazine was blown to atoms by the explosion, stove and all, but Farrell, who was sit- ting by the stove with his hands full of cartriges, escaped unhurt. McMullen's limbs were scattered in all directions,and his heart was found 100 feet away. A Fact WORTH knowing Is that blood die. eases which all other remedies fail to cure, yield to Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Fresh confirms, tion of this state- ment comes to hand daily.

Dong,, IV) %44 125t,i1 Fork, c rrtiiie.;':-- "Abouttwo years age, after suffering for nearly two years from rheuma, gout, being able to walk only with great discomfort, and having tried various remedies, including mineral waters, without relief, I saw Ly an advertise- ment in a Chicago paper that a men had been relieved of this distressing com- plaint, after los suffering, by taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I then decided to make a trial of this medicine, and took it regularly for eight months. I am pleased to say that it effected a com- plete cure, and that I have since had no return of the disease," Mrs. L. A. Stark, Nashua, N. H. writes: "One year ago I was taken ill with rheumatism, being confined to my house six months. I came out of the sickness very much debilitated, with no appetite, and my system disordered in every way. I commenced to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla and began to improve at once, gaining, in strength and soon re- covering my usual health. I cannot say too much in praise of this well-known medicine." "I have taken a great deal of medi- cine, but nothing has done me so much good as Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I felt its beneficial effects before I had quite finished one bottle, and I can freely testify that it is the best blood - medicine I know of." —L. W. Ward, Sr., Woodland, Texas. "JUST HEAR THAT CHILD SCREAM I " said Mrs Smith to her sister, Mrs Davis, as the sounds of a child's shrieks came across the garden from a neighbor's house. 'What kind of a woman have you got for a neighbor ? Does she abussi. her children ?"No, indeed,' re- plied Mrs Davis. "She is one of the most tender mothers in ex- istence. But you see, she be- lieves in the old-fashioned styles of doctoring. When a child needs physic, she fills a spoon with some nauseous dose, lays the little victim flat on her lap, bolds his nose till be is forced to open his mouth for breath, then down goes the dreadful mess. Then comes the yells.' 'No wonder,' said Mrs Smith, 'Why doesn't she use Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pel- lets ? They are effective without being harsh, and are as easy to take as sugar plums. I always 'give them to my children.' 'And so do I,' said Mrs Davis. Minard's Liniment for Rheumatism. Ayer's Sarsaparilla, PREPARED BY Dr. -J.• O. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Masc.

Searle's Block, CLINTON The whip is the parent of stub- bornness. This is especially true of high-spirited animals, remarks an exchange; while kindness and gentleness will win obedience and at the blame time attach the horse to his driver. It is the easiest thing in the world to win the af- fections of an animal, and this is especially true of a horse. An apple, a potato or a lump of sugar given from the hand now and then will cause a horse to prick up his ears at the sound of his owner's footsteps, not witb fear and trembling, but with a whin- nying note of pleasure. And the confidence of the noble beast thus gained will lead him to obey the slightest intelligent tone of the voice or indication of the bit.— There is no such thing as balki- ness in the horse treated from the first with uniform kindness. He rapidly shows a desire to obey, whereas a few blows of the whip. smartly applied, if he be a horse worth having, will at once arouse in him a spirit of retaliation and stubbornness that may cause the owner hours of trouble, and per- haps endanger life and limb.— There is no doubt that horses are made gentle by kindness, thous; ands of examples go to prove it while the reverse of this is equally well established. The horse has faith in the master he loves, and his voice, when heard in gentle tones, will soothe his fears when he has been frightened, or cause him to struggle onward with a load which he would utterly re- fuse to carry if whipped. No one knowing the true value of his horse until he has won his regard by kind treatment. The whip can never accomplish this, but will have the opposite effect. A kind hand and gentle voice act like magic. These facts especial- ly apply to the breaking of colts, something which the Arab of the desert understands better than we, and might give the best of us a lesson. An Arab would as soon strike his wife or daaghteras his horse, and an Arab steed is tho model of gentlenesa and docility as well as endurance.
