European Correspondence. .MARTIN WJTHEa AND THE SAUUATll IN

GERMANY. ;

BY MH8 MAUI A C. TREADWELL.

So much attracts.the nttention of the traveler hi Europe and matter accumu­lates so rapidly, it is difficult when one wishes to write, to know whore to be­gin, The subject usually is travel, but of this the readers of the T ub Record have been well treated in the cor­respondence of Dr. Stokes. The writer of this article having passed over the same ground, would gladly reiterate, but would fall short of Dr. Stokes’ pow­er of doliniation:

There is a subject, honover, to the sojourner in Germany who is interest­ed in and has read much oi its history, that is alwayB worthy of consideration. .A II over this Empire one is reminded of tho reformation by the ever-present visage of Martin Luther, which stands pre-eminently above all others in the hearts of the . people. I t ■ is. to be seeu in every shop window, and in every Protestant household, and sold by every vender of pictures. Then the Sabbath, which is held sacred to ovary Christian American, and is so intimate­ly associated with Luther, and a day when one rests from labor and sight­seeing, is always to bo considered, be­cause on this day one’s thoughts natur­ally turn to home and native land, where the Sabbath is kept, arid where a hallowed influence is ever felt by those who love to keep the day. On this day it is painful to seo the house maid ironing, sewing and going out to purchase ail commodities pertaining to every-day life, and the housewife count­ing over tho soiled clothes for the week’s wash, aud doing all other unnecessary things, besides remaining home from Church if she is a Protestant, and if a Catholic, only changing the scene by going early to Church, and then pro­ceeding with the every-day routine.

One naturally asks the question, “ Ib it not strange that Martin Luther’s in-

. fluence is not more perceptible in tho keeping of the Sabbath ?’’ Could the dead behold tho actions of men, would he rest in repose in the gravo when be­holding Germany so enslaved in Sab­bath breaking and beer drinking.

It is joyous to know that God only requires labor and holds ub not responsi • ble for result. “ Paul may plant aud Apollas water, but God must give the increase.” Hart there .not been a Lu­ther, whose footprints aro loll all over thiB Sand, the shadows of which extend across the broad Atlantic, what would have been the condition of this countrj?

When wending our way to our Amer­ican ohapel on Sabbath morning, and beholding the thousands going to and

' fro, buying and selling, md sitting in the gardens and open streets around the social beer cup, and indulging in all manner of convivaiitios en expose, we exolaim, that it has not yet beon in the power of man to give to this country what the Christian Amorican would call the Christian Sabbath, and man in the frowardnosa of hiB heurt has neglect­ed to obey God’s injunctions. Doubt­less tho piety of tho noble Christians, whose light is hidden to the ocpular demonstration ■ of the .passer-by, and whose names are written on the pages Of history, and' whose works are known and read of all men; is the salt that saves. Tbese will continue to hold tho fort until God shall see fit to declare Himse.f, aa he did for America in the great act of wiping out slavery.

ThiB keeping Luther in tho front savors of good, and right and justice will triumph gloriously in God’s own good time. A thousand yeare with Him are but as a day, . Iu tho German Mu­seum at Nuremberg, is Luther’s Bible, and a letter written by hia own hand, also ono of Malanctlion’s, and Sobbas- tian’s remains in a cabinet, and many other things fraught with momeu, to

thoRe interested in tho times and trials of such great men ; men who poured out their life’s blood for the truth. These rolics produced such an intense state of feeling in one of our party who had been ill for months, that a reaction was tho result, and she bognu to con- viileao, thus indicating that in some in­stances travel and new scones aro good for the overworked.

The most distinctly Christian Sab­bath was on Now Year's day, holidays being always mora observed on the Con­tinent in tho way of closing. Al the Dorns Cathedral, there was-a real aenbe of devotional feeling, and all was truly religious, tending to the reminding one of the good old times, arid the placo, when the Lord spoke peace to the pen­itent soul, under the singing of the sweet songs of-Zion, to such tunes as Windham and Old Hundred, with hymns such as “ Oh, how happy are they, who their Saviour obey.’.’' The music wag strictly. congregational, led by a choir o f ' boys whose voices weie almost Boraphic. We .sat facing the Emperor arid Crown Prince, and whole, royal family, who participated in the service except She singing. The Em­peror luiuicd all the while during stand­ing, againal one of the pillars, arid while hia frame was so robust, it seemed' tot­tering; and his faca looked .careworn. The quotation, was suggested, that ‘’un­easy lies the head that wears a crown ” Every precaution is taken for Stis life, and since the attempt a t assassination, every nook has been more scrupulously guarded than ever.

As soon as one registers at. a hotel or takes apartments in Berlin, the pass­port.issent to ihe police,' and imme­diately on departure i8 notice given. A servant cannot change he r place with­out due notice being sent to the author­ities, and this. is: done, it matters not how often changes may be made. No one .can arrive or depart without the knowledge of the “ powers that be.” The Emperor is popular with many of his subjects if one can judge by outward manifestation. Saturday night, March W iI being his Srtb. birthday, there was a grand illumination, and a •surging crowd of witnesses Every day ho rides through tho Brandenberger Gate, where stand many people who wait his leisure to pass by on his daily drive, and at eventide they stand opposite hia palace ors the Linden to get a glitnpac: of him at the lighting up. '

The American Chapel. at. Berlin is supported by voluntry contributions. It. ib quite commodious and weU attend­ed, Several Chinese are attendants on tile preached. word, and when some striking truth is uttered, they ahake thoir heads like some of., the dear old mothers in Israel on the other aida of the water, . They seem like Christians indeed, in whom there is no guile. I t has been our pleasure' to have Beveral of the royal Chinese Embassy to dine with us, and wq have found, them to be the personification of politeness isnd. aH so friendly, to America; so much so that we have exchanged gifts in honor of our respective countriea. In talcing a missionary view of this question, when seeing them so earnest in worship, it betokens good and we ;san take courage that the Sabbath shall be kept holy eves in heathen China.■ Pray for the Churches (American), that are dotted here, and there on the continent, holding a. light in the win­dow for the thirsty bouI, who wants to assemble himself with the handful of God’s people; and especially pray for the Americans or Christians who come from English speaking countries, that they army so act that“ their light may shine.'' One good pastor uttered in our hearing that they come and too rCadily kav ; their borne habits behind, and fall in with tbo habits of thiB country, both in Sabbath breaking and . wine and beer Urinking'toO. This is not true of all it is good; to say, hut too many aro afraid of tbe water, and too many do notfind a place of worship. Had wo to “ urge the war " of Martin Luthor, we would appreciate his labors and the Sabbath also. .

. Women's Christian Work.BY TH E LATE MIIS. MARY U CiKIFFITH.

Women os well as men are called to Ghrlstiaii work—we balievei even called to tho . pulpit ! . but the pulpit is not everything^ If there is .any quality which women possess-in jargs measure it is tender, yearning, self-sacrificing motherlineas; and Qod means this to be turned to account in His book—to play an important part, not only ic do. mestic life but in reaching ihe .great masses, of sinning, suffering humani ty.' A spiritual motherhood which brings souls into the kingdom of'God is as eacred aa that which brings souls into this world.

Not. alone for the dear ones at home was that weftUh of devoted tenderness implanted., i t will grow narrow and stilled, and Hellish, if, confined to the home circle/ A niother’B family need riot exhaust a ll . her . Jove and care. Christ wants every faculty of heart and aoul put' into His service. There are multitudes of poor and sick; and weary arid sinful, and suffering and ignorant, in Btraets and alleys, and dens arid cel­lars—in prisons an<i hospitals. The cheerful light of our homes shines, per­chance, upon the homeless and hope*, less. They may die in their si;; arid misery unless we go to them.

The world needs women, There ia » .work to be done which will never be done lili women come to the rescue. Women are no t all made to be wives and mothers and housekeepers. If so, Qod would not have given them the grand,''-unlimited capabilities, for wield­ing a world-wide influence, and put the work before them, and made the need so. apparent that they are driven to do it. His spirit would not ao inspire them and lead fcherii out, for whor the spirit of God takes possession of a woman she cannot keep still, The hearts, of,.some wOnienare burning, bursting to pro- claim the glorious gospel. Somo, like our own Phoebe Palmer, with hot thou­

sand starred crown; have broken through all obstacles arid prejudices, arid' others are waiting, fully competent, only hin­dered by custom, Two-thirds of the church are women 1 What a reserve army waiting to take the field; and what a shame that' they should be al­lowed to wait !

The purity, tho spirituality, the moral’ refinement of woman, which compels decency, at least, wherever she goes.'ia needed !ii the affairs of the world, ao corrupted and distorted. Wherever a pure woman enters sin and shame cow­er and shrink away ; and we need to Jive this blessed infhienco a wider range. ■ So far as you separate woman­ly help and influence from those of men, just so far impurity, blunders and injustico follows. Tho management, tact, and business ability, the genius for economy, of women, now expended oil houaokceping aiid Church fairs, if pu t to larger uses wo^ld achieve won­ders. Ia it for want of business ability that women aro counted as ciphers, and have no voice or vote in the councils of the Church ?

No, n o ! it ia "unnatural,” that moans it ia simply uncustomary. The peoplo ^of India think it just as unbecoming and unnatural for a woman to appear unveiled. Somo mon aro bo afraid wo will get out of Our sphere, and cease io bo good wives and mothers. Mot a' wo­man who hours thorn but knows moro of inotherliness in one heart-throb than they will know in a life-time.

Women are rising up everywhere. From being tlie toys, the slaves, tho boasts of burden, tho property . of the other sex ■ -as thoy once were, and still are in lands whero the gospel has not shone—thoy arc- taking their rightful places by the side of men. The doors of schools and colleges are opening to them. They are sweet singers. Thoy are bringing thoir quick wit, keen in­sight and taot, and their purity, to the

practice of law. They are bringing wise heads and gentle hands, womanly know­ledge, and dean hearts and thoughts, to the healing art, saving llie modesty ns well as:the lives and health of their own sox. Thoy are lifting up thoir voices to preach Christ, aud to crush out ovil everywhere, and God is signal­ly blessing thoir labors. The horrors o( prisons and hospitals and plague-smit­ten cities, the abuses and neglect of charitablo institutions, tlie bloody ago­nies of the battle field, and the abomi­nations of the dens of vice, lire purged and purified by womanly hands.

Sotice tlio number of intolligorit and spiritually-minded women in our Churohes, who sit silent, hut who could pray, and talk hetter than Ihe men who are doing it, if they only had as much encouragement and opportunity and drawing out.

? here is something loftier, nobler than mdrely leading a quiet, retiring domes­tic life. Soul-eaving ib nobler. Nothing must interfere with that. Women who are burying their talents in ; silence— wbo.are letting timidity and indolence enchain them—who are stilling the vdiee of the Spirit, are incurring an av/- ful responsibility. And all who help to kdop them silent are also guilty before God.

■When wo are in tho Spirit wo-aee op­portunities all around us. A Christian who does not sae more than'she can do to save the souls around her, had belter pray the Lord to open her eyes. What an awful tiling to pass by theopportun- ti(* in the dark, not knowing they are t'nsrol

Wo want minds and bodi<« to be st: ong arid healthful .so that God can u>o them We want the love of Jesus ai d tho love of souls burning within us, as d we’ll not lack courage, 1191 oppor­tunity; nor words.

Go to tbe poor, overworked, discour­aged women and toll thpm of the rest and the brightness Christ has to give. Draw not away in disgust from that fallen creature; you .know not what terrible temptation crushed her down to tlie gatea of he ll; you know not bow long she faced arid fought starvation on a dollar or two a weak before she yield­ed. POor, lonely, wretched brothers and sistass are passing us on tlie street, or jostling us in car and store—perhaps in the very church aisles—go. to them tenderly, eagerly ; don’t wait for an i n ­troduction, you will need none at tile judgment seat, Their souls sie bruised and festering; go with firm but gentle touch, lay your hand 011 the sore spot, and soothe it, pouring in oil and ,wine. Say not, “ I have no time.” It is not time but disposition, that is wanting. Select the buaieat, hardest worked wo­man yon know, vvhoBO every minute seams takers up. with the cares of house and children, and lot the spirit oi* tho Lord baptize that woman, arid she will find a way to save aoiila; There muat be a great wrong somewhere if women are bo burdened with home cares, that they cannot attend to ■ eternal things. We must live more simply. 'Which is better, to spend ,hours of time in ar­ranging tha trimmings of a dreBS, or td brighten up the intellect with some good book—io bake piles of pies and cakos or go out to help somebody 1 Livo for hum anity! -Live for eternity I

In God’s School, ,- “ 1 love to think ol' my littlo children whom God hna called to Himself aa away at school—at the best school in the universe, under tho beat teachers, learning the beat thinga in the best pos­sible manner.”

The idea accords with Longfellow’s well-known linea on tho same subject:

“ She is not deiid, lito ch ild o f o u r arti-eiionHut gone uuto th at Mihnul

Wht ro sho no longer needs o ur poor proteelhui,When.; Ohrli>i Him self doth rule.**

. Those parents who havo chihlron in heaven may well rejoico in the thought that they are at homo in our Father’s house, and safe from every harm.* Faith follows them there, and learns to joy* in their security and bliss. “ Taken froni the evil to come,” they wait for us on the other side, where, at the coming of the. Lord, if not before, we shall rejoin them.—J&tchahj/e; ■

Ocean Srovo and Asbary Park,

A i 'h y h h .ean ’s t e s t im o n y *

With your permission I would like to call the attention of ihe profession to tho advantages of Ocoan Grove and As- bury Park. As a health reaort, winter and summer, Asbury Park ia a city of country homes by the sea, in the midst of a .forest of pine and oak. Its long avenues, beautiful lakes, well laid out public squares ; its business streets; its chtireh.es of every denomiuntion ; its dchpols ; its sources of ontertainment, whero art and science join hands to please—all that tho most fastidious could desire in. tlie way of social life, is at command. In Summer,. undis­turbed by rowdies or mosquitoes, the cool aoa breezes mako glad tho heart ; in Winter, the climiite, moderated by the same breeze, tempered by she wa­ters of the Gulf Stream, arid protected by the hills and forests in the rear, and a dry sandy country, lea yea:, nothing to be desired; except to be the special ae- curity and Christian privileges of Ocean Grovo, separated by a small lake from the Park her?:. Iu the Grove, strange to say, time sejoms a papetuai Sabbath, while tbe Sabbsth itself is like a long- continued psalm ; scarce a sound, save tho melody of praise and .thanksgiving. The peppie live together iii fellowship, and every man’s neighbor.is his brother. So carefully is it guarded, that evon the latch-string is left hanging out at night in many of the sleeping rooms. Here, too, the. 'pines make fragrant the a ir ; here flows the fountain from the Arte-, sian well, supplying the city fitl> pure water.-. Its B ystem of sewerage, said to be unequaled by any city along the coast, casts its refuae four hundred feet out into the sea, beyond low water mark. .

The grand Auditoriurri affords oppor­tunity for daily varied exeroisia, re- unionsand religious services and almost all Christian societies avail themselves ofthe peculiar advantages of the Grove. Kepreaentative, men arid women of the nation here may be seen, heard, and studied. It ia indeed tha place par ex- cetlaice for. literary men and worti-out brain workers to recuperate, i The bath­ing is unsurpassed in Grove and Park, while the walks and drives leave noth­ing to be desired. Tho accommoda­tions offered for guests, sick or well, ara amplo, with terms to suit al! purges. Prominent among these aa Winter homes,- is the Sheldon House, open Summer and Winter—spacious and Well-appointed, especially adapted to moot the wants of the invalid, steam

.heat, gas, hot salt water batbs, sources of amusement for indoor days—I might bu o , “ perfect in a.11 ita parts ’’—central iu tho Grovo and convenient to the Park, facing thebeantiful Wealey Lake and fronting the beach. Also, espec­ially to be noted is the Atlantic House, wanting nothing to make comfortablo ita guests. Especially attractive in its management — :io say :.ny , patients. While in tiununer, tho elegance aud luxury of hotels and homes fully meet every possiblo expectation.

My patients, visiting the Grove or Park, whan troubled with either ca­tarrhal or cortain lorhis of lung troub­le , as well aa many disordered condi­tions, usually report marked improve­ment after a sojourn in the Grovo. A visit iu midauhimer or midwinter would amply ropay tinio and trouble of even ,, medical man. 1), M. B a k u , M.D.

Mre, Laura A. Crane, of Ocean Grove, ia Bponding a week in Philadelphia, and daily attends the sessions of General Conferonco, at Association Hall.

Rev. Wm. Taylor exploded a small cartridgo of evangelistic dynamite in the General Conference last Tuesday, when lie sent u p .a resolution to the effect that “ it is lawful and right to get people converted to God, and to organ­ize them into self-supporting Methodist Episcopal Church in foreign countries:”

Tho venerable Dr. J. S. Porter of the Newark Conference, on visiting the General Conference the other day, was invited to take a seat on the platform, whenever he happened to bo present. Tho same courtecy, we suggest, should, be shown our genial octogenarian father Atwood of the Philadelphia Conference,

Rev. W. H. Kincaid with his incorii- parable faculty for pen portraiture, will immortalize many of the otherwise but little known men of the present Gen­eral Conference. He is a valuable ad­jutant on the staff of Editor-in-Chiaf DePuy of the Daihj Chriilian Advocate, and may be expected to lay himself out on the personoi, antecedents arid gen- oral character of the new biahopa as soon as thoy are elected;

An antiquated looking Bible which once belonged to John Wesley, and passed through the family of Benson, the Commentator, was produced at tho opening of the Methodist General Con­ference lost week in Philadelphia. It iB a present from Hon. S, Waddy, of London, to BiBliop Simpson, and the M. E. Church in America.. The rolic waa viewed and handled ,usa great curi­osity , and will be Bacredly guarded for ita historic associations.

Tbe Christian al Work, in a thought­ful article on the Methodist General Conference, names ten prominent can­didates for the episcopacy as follows: Drs. J. H. Vincent, A. H. Hunt, W. F. Malialiou, W. X Nindc, Henry Buttz, J. M. Buckley, C. H. Fowler, J. M, Walden, C. H. Payne, and Chancellor Sirris. We can only count four out of this list as certain of the honor, three others aro probable, and two or three not yet named may possible como to the front with unexpected strength.

The tweutietb ' anniversary of the Churoh Extension Society at the Amer­ican Academy of Music, in Philadel­phia, on Tuesday evening of next week, will; under Chaplain McCabe’s inge­nious forecasting, be a monster meet­ing. With- 5,000 people presont and five or six of tho beet speakers and singers 111 tho General Conference to entertain the audience, the Chaplain, who always has ah eye 'to the taain chance, will probably “ raise the wind ” to the tuna of SPf5tl,000 for building fron­tier Churches.'

Busy aa ever, we find our old friend; Rev, Alex. McLean, of New York Con­ference, the veteran stenographer push­ing his pencil at the General Conference. He and Revs. W. D. Bridge, Baker of Baltimore and another expert in thia line are associated with Dr. DePuy on tho Daily .Christian Advocate. They all amplify their notes on modern type­writers, which at least, makes “ copy ” legible, if not up to tho acme of rhetor­ical perfection; but tlio speakers they have to follow, aro, of course to be held accountable, in the latter particular.

By taking an elevator at 1420 Chest­nut atreet, Philadelphia, the othor day, wo found the ollice of tho General Con­ference Daily, with that polished and. popular literator, Dr, W. H. Del’ny, ns oditor-in-chiof, at the head of a host of busy attaches, all engaged in doing grand work for tho dissemination of ecclesiastical news. The revision of reamb of “ copy,” adjustment of hastily jotted stenographic reports, rendering of propor names by the hundred, free from typographical infelicities, and tho power to please everybody amid such a rush of competition to bo represented, makes bur amiable friend’s position anything but an easy ono, yot ho smil­ingly masters the situation, and worka as steadily as. if iutent on making an-

•Dr. Barr’s article on tho Sanitary nnd . Moral character of Ocean Grovo nnd

Asbury Park, published on our first page Bhould have been credited to tho Medical and Surgical Reporter, in which it appoared April 26.

The Advocate Bays :.. An article en­titled “ Tho Sunday-school as an Edu­cator,” which appears in the Sundaji- school Journal for May, (the Centennial number) has attracted wide attention. I t is from tho pen of our correspondent, ltev. W. H. Kincaid

The Neptune Stone.Company of As­bury Park, havo not only the hest facili­ties for laying stone curbing and per­manent Hag sidowalks, but are supply­ing monuments of every variety to or­der. Thoy havejust ereoted one on Miss Annie Graham’s lot in Mt. Prospect Cemetery, on one side of which is en­graved the nameof Miss Aura J. Beach, who was buried there.

The storm whioh set in oarly in the week and continued up to Thursday reached its culmination on Wednesday afternoon. The wind was heavy from northwest and the sea became fearfully turbulent. There was for a lime some apprehension that tho breakers would overleap our fine board walk and break it to pieces; but the'gale has subsided with very little apparent damage done in the vicinity of Ocean Grove.

Inquiries continue topourin for fam­ily cottages this season at Ocean Grove. Owners are more moderate, we think,

■ in tho amount of rent demanded, which will doubtless satisfy those Becking iict commodations, and secure good tenants in overy building we have to let. The real estate people are quite activu day after day showing houses. A good many desirable cottages and boarding houses are offered in our advertising columns and we give private informa­tion to all who address this office on tho subject.

The article we print on "W oman’s Christian Work,” in this issue, will awaken many tondor and loving recol­lections of the gifted and graceful au thor, whose tongue and pen have for years boen so effective in appeals for advanced position and usefulness iu be­half of Christian womanhood — Mrs. ltov. T. M. Grifiith, of the Philadelphia Conference. Her lameuted death oc­curred last March, and this, among other oarnest productions from her con­secrated heart, was found among her .papers. What a busy und blcBsed life was hers! A genial spirit in society; a

.devoted minister's wife; a model mother, with the clearest intuitions of duty and responsibility, on the pari of

. her sex, to work for Jesus I Being dead Bhe yet'spoaketh, and her life hope will one.day be fulfilled, in the greater ac­tivity of women to glorify Christ in sav­ing souls.1 •. Under tho influence of the Salvation Army, Mr. John A. Borden, one of Qur woll-kriown progressive oitizeiiB, an­nounces from a conviction of duty to God, the closing’ o f . his barber shop hereafter on Sundays.. He .intends to

’ serve bis patrons faithfully Bix dnys in tho wook, and serve tbo Lord on Sab­bath. HiB competitors in business have predicted that he will very soon yield to the pressure of tbe public for Sunday shaving, but lie bravoly burnBthe bridges behind him, so' that retreat from his present stand on tho side of morality

,' and religion is not to he contemplated. This bit of controversy brings up the question, have any ol’ the barber frater­nity the right to violate the Sabbath nnd the laws of tho borough and Stale by kooping open their shops, doing ordi­nary work, and selling, ns most of th e m do cigars on the Lord’s day. We hope they wilfdll follow thiB example, before the law is enforced to compel obediedcc. At all oveulo, we think John’s patron-

■ age will not suffer, but increase-on. ao count of his decided principle in this m atter.. '..'•: . ">’•.

The scene at Association Hall, where as stated in our issue of Inst week, the' great Methodist Sanhedrim convened on. Thursday morning, May 1, was for several days one of appnrant confusion, while the formalities of tho organiza­tion were in progress.

The number of Annual Conferences now seeking representation is 99, em­bracing nearly. 13,ft00 itinerant minis­ters,12,000 local preachers and 1,750,000 Church members. The .delegates hail from evory State and Territory ’ in this nation, and as the work in. the South is largely njade up -of the descendents of Ham, a respectable sprinkling of intel­ligent; looking, colored men occupy seats, and act as the peers of their white brethron iu all the deliberations.- One of the: . first of this class elected, to the present Centennial General Conference, ltev. Wesley J. Parker, we had the'sat^ isfaction about 20 years ago to examine for license to preach at Ennall's Spring Camp Meeting, DorcheBter county, Maryland. :■•

Ouo of the delegates from " India’s Coral Strand,” Bitting near Dr. William Taylor,- the cosmopolitan missionary, and dressed in native Hindo costume is Ram Chandra Bose, who- was; present four yoare ago, and during hia stay in the country addressed largo audiences at Ocean Grove.

Looking over the dignified body, lay and clerical, we recognized quite a uuinbor with whom we had the honor to associate in 18(54, when' tlie fact of lay delegation was only a .dream, riot yet realized, and th e . action of which Conferences of colored preachers were recognized on a; basis-oi equality, was drawn up by the hand that now writes these reminiscences.

. • ihshop smrsoN, who had boon for several! months in a precarious Condition of heaith, - was graciously permitted to be in his place aa Senior Bishop, at . the . opening, but could venture no farther than the simple calling of the Conference to order. . ■ ■ ■ . - .

He appeared on the platform again on last Monday, and was received with universal acclamation.. This was. on the occasion of the reading, of the Quadreuiiial Episcopal address, a paper of com p'rehensive scope, and exhibiting the highest order of ability: in its pro­duction. The document, as read by BiBhop Harris, was received with dem­onstrations of the heartiest approval.

From present indications the beloved Bishop is convalescing, a result which we cun hardly . doubt, is due. to earnest prayer. ;:p

There were present also at.the open­ing, Bishops Bowman, Harris, Foster, Wiley, Merrill, Andrews, Warren,. Foss •and Hurst. Religious services wore held, participated in by Bishop Foster, Drs. Hatfield, , L. M. Vernoh, of Italy, Marshall Taylor,' of Kentucky,', and Trimble, of Ohio, the sing being led by the ever welcome Chaplain McCabe, as? sisted by Prof. Wm. J. Kirkpatrick.

I'HIUitDKlPHIA’s GREETING.After the Conference had, by univer­

sal. consent, invited Rev. Dr. Monroe to! act as Chief Secretary, and he had been provided on his nomination with eight assistn’nts, room Was . made on" the platform for ■ . ‘ •

REV. ANBRKW LONGACiiE, D. D. than whom, tho City of Brotherly Love, could hardly have fouridd better spokes­man in ,extending a generous Christian welcome to the assembled body. He touchingly alluded to the impaired health of the resident bishop. Oldi/ued for himself,a Methodist paternity ex­tending to the fourth generation, re­viewed, the historic importance of Phil­adelphia,.and disabused the minds, of any who might have received an un­favorable impression’, because 6f sup­posed difficulties in providing for the best entertainment of ao many.-hun­dreds of . distinguished visitors. His chaste address was the more interesting from numerous personal allusions, and the inttodiictiori of

- THE GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA.- to Bupplemorit his.‘welcome. Governor Pattison, it is known, is the son of an honored • member of the Philadelphia Conference, and his words were bo well chosen, that they, fired up an.unwonted degree of enthusiaam. The Governor is himself a lay delegate, and among the clerical magnates, with whom he Bits from day to day, there are few bet­ter authorities in legislature procedure, if not also in ecclesiastical.usa,;e.

Bishop Bowman and General Fisk responded with genial htfmor, the lat­ter accounting for the cleverness of the hospitality tendered, and which in the

-name ofthe General Conference '.he ac-; cepted, by the proximity of this great city lo the Stale of New Jersey in which he was a resident. :

BEATING THE Dl-LEGATIONS.Somewhat after tho manuor of Con­

gress, the members agreed to abide the

verdict of lot, ns to whero thoy might sit during the session. Of. course hun­dreds wanted choice places, but tho “ drawing ’’ made Bad havoc with their hopes and aspirations, and the disorder ofa day or two in getting comfortably settled down; could hardly have been avoided. Even our enterprising home delegation, m o B t of them fluent deba­ters, and apparently determined lo be heard, have been crowded into a re­mote position instead of the front seats of which they wore worthy.; •-..y:-;v;.' . RULES OFORHKB. :r-; ■ .-:-

Tlie next consideration for the proper discharge i n a parliamentary way,.of the deliberative duties, came to the front in the adoption of a governing code, and here,: the live brother who leads the Philadelphia delegation; Rev. T. B. Neely, was 11 oil h iB native heath,” for bo is* the a u t h o r o f an excellent manual on. this BUbject, recently pub­lished, and assigned to the Chautauqua aeries of instructipn books. The early debates brought out such notabilities aa Buckley, Hatfield, Curry, Olin,Leonard, Wheelor, Lanahaii, Swindells, Miller; Paxson and Ram Chandra Bose.

THE COMMITTEES.The Hat of Standing Coiniriittees had

•next to he constituted. They embrace the Episcopacy, Itenerauoy, Bounda­ries, Revisals, Temporal Economy, State of the Church, Book Concern,Missions, Education, Church Exterition; Sunday- Schools and- Tracts, and Freedmeri, With Special Committees on Temper­ance, Prohibition, Divorce, Exponces,’&o., &c. Attention to . the regular ses­sions, and the work of these.Commit­tees, makes membership anything but an easy task! The honor costs a heavy, strain on time and strength, if every man is actuated by the righ t' spirit of allegiance to duty.

. THE EPISCOPACY.On Monday morning, May 5, a prop ■

osition sprung by Dr. McCabe, for tbo election of new bishops immediately, pirecipitated the heaviest debate lip to that period, Dr. Hatfield, of Chicago, in his outspoken way, drew.the fire of some heavy ordnance, in protest against any semblance o f " wire-pulling,’’ or even friendly combinations to secure the election of favorite candidates. Va­rious motions, as pulse;feelerB, were offered, thegeneral sentiment being in favor of postponement until next week. No day was fixed, for the sufficient Rea­son that the Committee on Episcopacy, which usually determines the number needed, must consider and report, be­fore the elections are in order. At the present writing, we may surmise that before a week from the date of this pa­per there will be four or six bishops elect, taken from the membership of the body as now constituted.

PUBLIC INTEREST.Next to the legislative machinery of

the Conference, the busy newspaper m en, among whom we have a Beat, are to be regarded as a real factor of power and influence. The oity dailies have their best reporters on hand, and from remote sections of the country corres­pondents are here, to catch the drift of debate, and publish abroad the rcsulta Of action on the questions of the day. For Btrangera visiting the Conference, us w ell aa th e community at home, ac- commodations bo far, are better than was anticipated. But tbe orowds will increase, and bofore long a seat in any part of the hall will be regarded in the light of an extraordinary privilege. '

Sabbath at General Conferonco. 'The three or. four days of beautiful

weather which attended the opening of th e General Conference, helped to make u favorable impression ori the multitude of strarigers which thiB notable occasion attracted to the city of Philadelphia, To heighten the comfort of Sabbath, a gentle ahower laid the dUBt, freshened the flower gardens, and brought bloom and beauty to the Bhrubbery around itB many delightful homes.,

The Churches mostly, were favored with the-ministrations of.‘clerical dele­gates and bishops, whose sermons were all o f a high order in iritelectuality and spiritual power. Rov. Mr. Young of the WeBleyaiu branch of Methodism in England delivered a very beautiful ser­mon in the morning a t Arch Street Church, and a still more. forcible one in the aftornoon, in connection with tho re-opening sorvices ot Grace, whero he was listened to by a large cbugrogation, among whom a number o f the city pas­tors had gathered to hear tho distin­guished stranger. •

Rev. Mr. Whitehead, the associate of Mr; Young, also, preached on Sabbath with great acceptability. His sermon at Trinity in the evening was a fine epeciment of pulpit oratory, and thrill­ed th e hearts of all w ho hoard him.

Bishop Warren, it je reported, exceed­ed himself in M b discourse at Grace Church in tbo morning. He is a stal­wart in overy sense, and can preside at the General.Cpnference with as muoh

tact Und gnieo, as ho cun. presell with power.

The great occasion of the day, how­ever; was the General Conference love feast, which Rev. S.; W,. Thomas, pastor of old Union; held in th a t mbtlier church at II p, M, Within , the walls of thia time honored building the General Conferonco; of .1804 was held, mid a number of the. delegates of (bat year, including Drs, Curry, Hatfield; Olin, Triinble and other' leading spirits, were in attendance, and with some of the bishops,; enjoyed a happy hour in talk­ing over the eventful past.

For next Sdblmth a .still more extend-; ed plan of preaching is being arranged in time to print' the appointments in Saturday's Dailii, as well as tbe city papers, and during the nionth, it is like­ly every city pulpit will be favored by a Bcrmon from some of the delegates or viaiting celebrities now.in Piiiladetpbiii.

Can the Conference Visit Ocean Grove ?I t baa been in the mind o f President

Stokes and the members o f the Oceau Grove Association, for some time, to invite the General Conference, now: in session in Philadelphia, to take a day’s vacation during their arduous labors, for the purpose of visiting this world? fam ouB city by the sea. How the pro­position might bo regarded, amid the pressure o f blisineas demanding atten­tion by that.august body, w o Can hardly conjecture; blit'suppose it would be adjudged impracticable. A fust Penn­sylvania Railroad train, a fmo day, and a few hours roaming through our beau­tiful grounds, with a comfortable din­ner at the celebrated. Sheldon and At­lantic Houses, might be a rare treat to tired delegates if they could but spare the time. At all events we ex­pect moat of thein will make i t a point to see Ocean Grove before they return to their distant homes in this arid other countries of the globe. The season’s imposing programme of religious ser­vices will bogin toward Ihe middle or latter part of June, and continue until Bome time in September. Our Annual Guide Book wiil soon be out, and every member shall have a copy.

Governor Pattison, .• From the'cares, of State,'-arid that

ceaseless . pressure which centres in Harrisburg, we think Gov. Pattison is glad to get away for » month’s recrea­tion in a big Methodist meeting like the Gonerd! Conference. He hits taken hold, too, as a working, member- and throws his whole heart into the duties of his delegation. The following brief extract from his address of welcome, re­veals the spirit of the man, and his allegiance to the' faith of his fathers. Speaking after Du, Longaere, he said :

“ The Doctor has welcomed yon in behalf of tho citizens, of.Philadelphia. I may be'permitted to extend to you a welcome in behalf of Pennsylvania [long continued applause], and Say to you that we are glad to have you in our midst. • It ia goad for ub . to have you here. We are protid of our mineral resources; we are proud of our manu­facturing resourco.-!; but, brethren, I [wish to Bay to you to-day that we are' prouder of our educational: interests and of that influence which draws you to. this State to-day thun of our wealth and all our power. [Applause.]

“ Upon thia, the hopes of posterity de­pend ; upon this'. we look for the sue- ceaaea of our children. Our wealth may be fleeting. Change is marked on all the material things about us. But the spirit that animated theriieii.within the Bound of my ‘ voice is the spirit that shall live forover' and , perpetuate our institutions clear down through the ages. [Applauae.J

“ You will find Philadelphia always with the latch string out. Ypii will find that hospitality which extends through­out the American Republic everywhere —from the Atlantic to tile Pacific.

“ I t has been said by some one that the peculiar characteristics, of an an­cestor sometime crop put to remind poterity ; and I shall bespeak for this Conference d cropping out of tho spirit of the fathers. I wish to bespeak: for you here at this session u, revival and a' renewal of that.Bpirit.which but yester­day—a ' hundred years . ago—set the world on fire. At that time a breath might have blown it.out; but to-day it l ig h lB tho world." [Great applause [

In Momoriam,■ ANOTHER MISSIONARY MARTYR.

Africa, Africa, tho land of.tcara and death ! Land of graves where lie the bodies of’ heroic souls-awaiting tho res urrectioii of. the just.: All that is mor­tal of Alice Lylo sloops in. Africa’s, sanda, while her spirit is before the throne with the noble army of martyrs.

So reads tho mesBnge that- comeB to us, who learned in a fow'short montliB to prize tbe good qualities of one unit ing the impetuosity of the child with the persistent strength of the woman full grown. V

Alice came to ub bearing a good rec­ord; Her conversion turned her into an active missionary, and she b eg a n to proclaim to all around, the Gospel bb she had received it. ; Her father; broth­ers atid siBtera were converted; one after the other in answer to her prayers and labors with them. Her teachers at school found but one fault, she devoted bo much time to the souIb of the im- penitent, that her atudies occupied b u t second place, and though . sustaining her rank in the olaBS, she did not make the rapid attainments which were pos­sible to her ability and strength of pur- poso. : :S

Iu JJecember, 1882, she left. Athene, Tenn., where she was at school, and trusting God for the means, she started for the North to make in some way a short cut to Africa where she believed she was called.to labor. V.

“ I cariiiot,” she said, ''study arithme­tic and grammar while souls are dying around me.” And' recognizing in her,■ this zeal that was as a fire in her bones, we could not use any moans to turn her from her purpose. “ Do the next thing ’’ and do it faithfully and unto God, was always ;tho word wiHi her, and whether a pIacd;in 8chool or a pas­sage to Africa, God will be honored and you will be . blessed. She was one on whom the hand of .man could not be laid to thwart or turu from her pur­pose, for she waa called of God and ever honored of him. ..

By wav of Ocean Grove she passed, on .her #Uy to Africa. Many in’ the Young People's Temple Will remember her. And those hands that were lifted to bless h er, aiid help her on h er way, may rejoice iri the life she lived, in the death she died.

A record of .her, passage, to Africa in the Monrovia, tells of daily prayer and tho reading of tho Bible with the cap­tain and the crew. Arid the kindness she met on every hand, proved that her earnestness at least was respected, She landed with but a few cents in. her purse, trusting God there, as she . did, here,, first for work then for support;..

The last week of her life, starting from Muhlenbiirgh, 27 miles 'from Monrovia, as her base of supplies, sho went out to a heathen village, 8 miles from the Lutheran Mission, to preach Christ; and on Monday morning re­turned, bringing the old white-haired king as a convert to the ,mission for baptism. How many mbre received the word of tho kiugdom from her dy­ing lips will not be known till the hooka are opened.

Bro. Csy, the loader of this mission, said she never le t a heathen,man, wo­man or child, go away without the mes­sage, of salvation; and ail her work was seasoned with prdyei. Here at Muh- lenburg her last daya wore spent. Arid though under the influence of the Afri­can fever, with daily chills, alio labored on and wrote two letters on her last day of life.; Here she died. On Saturday morning, the' loth of Maroh. lHSi, she slept ori earth' to wake in heaven.. She passed away so quietly that she never knew: she died; ri6r did those aboiit her know of the departure of the spirit till they found the tonement empty.

A record early closed ! And yet who cari say that her life was wasted? That she was not called to go to Africa? Her. life yet speaks and will speak to all, who will.heed. Puahedof tbedivine Spirit .she hastened to her end. But faithfully she did what lay before her to do and every day bore record of work accomplished for the Master.

The Engineer's Remedy.My engineer waa a gray-liaired, thick­

set, man of fifty, quiet mid unoblruaive, and deoply in love with hia beautiful machine. He had formerly run a loco­motive, and now took a stationary en- gino becauBO he could get no employ • ment on tbe • railroads. A long talk with the superintendent of Ihe road from which he had beon romovwi, re- vealod only one fault in the man’s past life; he loved strong drink.

“ He is,” said my informant, “as well posted on steam as any man on the road; he worked up from train-boy to

. fireman, from, fireman, to engineer, has rendered ua valuable services, has saved many .lives by his quickness and brav­ery; but lie cannot let liquor alone, and for that reason we have discharged him."

In spite of tbis discouraging report I . hired the naan. During the first week of his stay I passed through the engine room many times a day, in the course of my factory rounds, but never, found aught, amies.. Tbe great machine ran as smoothly and quietly as if its bear­ings were Bet in’ velvet ; the steel cross­head, the crank-shaft, the brass bil-cups, reflected the morning sun like mirrors; no speck of dust found lodgmont in tho room; In the “ fire-room ” the B«me order and neatness prevailed; the

' steam-gauge showed even pressure, the /water-gauges . were ' always just right, and our daily report, showed that we were burning leas coal than formerly. The most critical inspection failpd to find anything about either engine or boilers that showed the fainteat Bymp- tdms of neglect or carelessness.

• / •Three weeks passed. The man who had been recommended as “ good for five days’ work and then two days’ drunk,” had not swerved a hair from his duty. The gossips were beginning to notice, and comment upon the Htrange affair. > ,

“ I should like to speak with you a ' moment, sir,” said he one morning as I passed through hiB sanctum.

“ Well, John, what now?” I said, drawing out my notn-book. “ Cylinder oil all gone ?"

. . “ It’s about myself,” he replied. 1 I motioned him to proceed.“ Thirty-two years ago I drank my

first gloss of liquor,” said tho engineer, “ and lor tho past ton years, up to the last month, no week has pasuod with­out its Saturday night drunk. During those years I was not blind to the fact that appetite was getting a frightful hold upon me. At times my struggles against the longing for stimulam. were oarnest. My employors onco oirered me a thousand dollars if I would not

. touch liquor for three monthu, but I lost it. 1 tried all sorts of antidotoa, and all failed. My wife died praying that I might be reBoued, yet my promises "to hor were broken within" two days. I signed pledges, and joined societies, but appetite waa still my master. My em­ployers reasoned with me, discharged me. forgave me, but all to no effect. I could not stop, and I knew it. When I came to work for you I did not expect to stay a week ; I was nearly done lo r; but now!” arid tbe old man’s face lighted up with an unspeakable joy, " in this extremity, when I was ready to plunge into hell for a glass of rum, I found a sure remedy 1 I am saved from my appetite!”

“ What is your remedy ?”The engineer took up an open Bible

that, ' lay. face down, on tbe window ledge'and read,

" The blood of Jesus Christ eleunsdlt us from all tin."—H. C. P. in the Christian.
