These lessons begin at “the begin- ning"” (Gon. 1), and thers is no telling whero and Em they will stop. ‘The Sunday Bchool papers d the Teligious press generally are giving Jreckly commentson the various themes in the prder of their coming. It is eaid that more chil- dren are now gernsln& the same lessons from Babbeth to Sabbath than ever before. Surely lébe moral influence of these hundreds of thou- gands of teachers and scholars, all tlus engaged, &5 very great, and the best of it ll is, that it is 8n the direction of & universsl charity and rotherhood, through & oommon Father and Redeemer. The demand for commentaries on Geonesis was never 80 great. The following com- ament on the lesson for to-day (Cein and-Abel) is #aken from the Montreal Witness. 1t will bear ¥eading » second time : y Wo bave, in this lesson, the introdnction of one of Rhose similes or emblems which run with eingalar gontinulty oll throngh Serigturo: on the oo bund, the Blood of Abel crying to God from the ground, ro- | amembe ngainst the generation which rejected Cbrlat ity {hat of all the othor Old Tustsment xzerters,~and quoted by Paul aa yet speaking, in hia mmfla on &- faith of dqufle):; wnnmua‘;;lm ho ‘other hand (trpified in the eactifice of a lamb), tho 2bieod of sprinfling which spesketh better things than ths blood of Abel.” Tho blood of man, meaning eim= iy his mortal life, s precious in God's hight (sec Gen- x, 4, 5, and_6),—tho most precious thing fn tho ma- #erial world. In like manner, the life of the soul i excesding precious in God's sight.

BAPTIST ITEMS. The Western Avenue Baptist Church has in- creased its Bible class from 30 to an aversge stiendance of 110 during the last three months.

Special meotings aro being hold since tho Week of Prayer in the North Side Tabernaclo, con- ductod by Brother Moody, assisted by Major D. W. Whittle, B. F. Jacobs, H. Morchouse, and- others. A great deal of interest was mani- fested in the meetings during tho Week of Prayer, and meetings for thirty days were sppointed. It is said that many lave besn reclaimed, and with® tho .large number of yonng converts ara now walking tha ilgrimage path of ‘faith, Tho preaching of Mr. orehonse has been listoned to by crowded bouses. The mannor of conducting the services is very simple; while the congregation aro gath- ering & s0pg of praise is sung, and aftor thid tho sermon, usually divided in the middle by the singing of &n appropriato bymn or song; tho einging, which is eminently congrogational, forms an m‘Enm_ut part of the service. After the eermon therc is o second meeting held in tho leoture-room, where all who are interested aro invited to tarry for consultation and prayer. Under the energetic loadership of Brother Iy, much good work is being dono on the North Side. - Rov. Dr. C. O.

The occa- ‘sion Was one of dolightful plessara to all pros- ent. The Doctor never secmed mors Liappy, and his wife, who wore the garland of white lowors, seemed as handsome a9 in the days of yoro. The presents on the occasion were numerous and costly. Among those sent in from abroad .waa a 5-cent piece, from Mrs. Rev. Dr. Candee, of Richmond, dated tho year of their marriage, 1848. A Enmdpinfluu and subatantial supper was rovided, and the guests lingorod happiY; until he closo'of *reasonablo hours.” A very interesting rovival moeting is being held at a small country church, six miles from Napervillo, in Du Pago County. The aged pas- tor is assisted in tho good work by o mumber of Christian laymen from this city. Farmers from all J::Hs of ‘the neighborhood come in their big eleds, which are always loeded down with both young ond old, who scem glad to hoar those carnest laymen &peak. Thero s plenty of work, too, ot only in {he city but in the.country, an 'b-i? a tgood sign to see even this indication of adtivity. The noon-day prayer-mecting, yosterdsy, was led by Rov. C. E Phoney, aulwas dao;ly in- teresting. TheSunday School lesson for to-day was fully discussed. - Quite n number who ar- rived a fow mioutes late could not get standing room within the doors, and had to leave. -The singing, conducted by Mr. Ira D. Sankey, is an interesting fezture of the moetings. Tho Supor- intendents of the varions Sundsy Schools in the city spesk on the lesson, thus affording o fina opportunity for teachers to brush up their idess for the labor of the Sabbath. ) ‘Rov.

Tho Standard of this city, the Baptist organ of the Northwest, has made a short and terso reply to the Inte new style of argnment advanced by the Uniled Presbyterian on the subject of close communion. The following is what the Pres- Bylerian sai ‘There must besomo overweening, pessiona‘o wish for visible communion with the Baptists. They ad- here to baptism by immersion, and tho mombers of the Church are they who, having professed their foith in Christ, have been’ so baptized. But thers 2eems t0 bo & grest host ontside who aro mot happy Decause they cannot sit down with theso brethren, and who positivaly abuse them because they dn::l aak them in. Itis 5 specisl compliment to immersionis Quistian character. 1t proves also tho mistortuz of thoso who try o kdas their brothren through the bars, but cannot ; and who, therefore, stand ouiside, fret- ting and and finaliy storthing, aa if they would bombard tho éntrenched believers into communion, If these latter do finally concluds to open their gates, they oughtto be adviscd to do jt cantiously, for there will be stich g rush at them of long-bantahod bLréthren a8 will be embarrassing. . , To which the Standard replies : These is more eanse and more Christian charity in this sgufd from the Preabyterian than {n tho usual eav- age assaults mpon the.Baplists, by the Podobaptist press and pulpit. These delightful brethren come at us something sfter tho style of England, when a few ‘years ago, with her long guns, aho opened Chin to the - reception of ber opfum. ~ John Chinaman_ said, “ We do not want your poisonous drug.” John Bull replies, *¢It mnkes 1o difference what you want, you shall have the stufl.? Tho Baptista do ot belicve it right or charitable fo communo with unbsptized believers, and thereby sanction the preverling of Christ's com- mand. The Pedobaptist World eays, “ It makes ns differéaco what your conscientious convictions are. e will fight you till the doors of your churches aro opened tous. . . POPULAR AMUSEMENTS. The relation which the Church should sas- tain to the popular amusements of tho day, and just how far and where a church-member should go, bas alwaya been a subject npon which there hes not been tho most perfect harmony, and certainly not_in large cities, and especially in “Chicago. Thisis what tho Rev. Dr. John Hall hes just said about it : 1t would bo better for the Church, as a Church, not to take action, formally or informally, upon this mat- tor of amuzerhents ; Christian ministers would find it 18 wel to abatain from discriminating which-is good, which i3 bad, ond when an innocent becomes a sinful game, Such prosching only magnifies and exalta that merc negativo goodness that bowats itself in its sclf- denials, and makes religion e largely in what one never does, Peoplo do not need right on this and Idndred matters so much as priaciple; they require Dot direction, but a vigorous spiritual life, and it 15 tho Intter tkat the proacher is called upas to Urge ‘and en- couszge in his minfstrations, CALENDAR FOR THE WEEK.

FRipay EveNmo, Jan. 25. The enow-storm seriouely .interfered with business during the, last haif of this week. In fact, the whola month of January has heen 80 stormy that it has several 'times nearly stopped the progress of everything connected with trade —eoxcopt the maturing of notes, which stops for neither wind nor enow. Tho marketing of pro- ducts, the sale of goods, and the collection of debts in the country, has been interrupted to so great an extont, that morchants in genoral have had a discouraging ‘season, and it is not at all surprising that many of ‘them are herd pressed to meet their engagements. The | effoct of the interruption to businesa is percepti- ‘ble in the increasod domand for accommodation, and in the decrease in the deposits at the banks that have large lines of mercantile accounts. Wo hear of one prominent bank that has Iost 25 per eent of its aggregato deposits In this way since the first of January. A good many other banks bave also experienced a large decline in their de- posita, though not to 80 great an extont as the one roferred to. In this cage it showed that the depositors were' wealthy and had tho mone; to their credit to draw, whereas, in the case of other banks, the pressure has baen felt in tho way of an increase in the demand for accommodation. The usual monetary ease caused by the dis- bursement of interest snd dividends has not been experienced thig year, and. it can now scarcely be expected thers will be much im- ‘provement until the advent of mildor westher pormits trado to_resumo its usual activity, and until the railroads carry off a greater portion of the surplus products accumulated hero and in the country. In the opon market thero seems to be consid- eablo money to loan at 10 to 12 por cent per an- num for short time and on first-¢lngg collatorals, but commercial paper is difficult to nogotiate, aid rates are nominally 2 per cont per month, with but little doing at that.

The general tone in produce is one of firmness, and thero is little doubt that an im~ portant advance would be effecied in &xices in many departments, if it were not for tho strin- the money markot., which. || $4.50@4.60 per 100 Ids; chicfly af $1.60, which due largely to the difficnlty experienced in mov- ing our produca osstwerd. Thero are plonty of shipping orders here, both for provisions and breadstuffs ; but tho holders of such orders Lositato to fill thom, and if the property were bought it would not be prid for, unlesa cars could be procured in which to send it to the parties wanting it.

In tho cily tho semo difl ista ; thero is not only loss of timein switeli tha railroads, but in maving property by means of teams. In view of the inevitable prossiro of froight which is moro_imperious with cach recarring winter, it is difficult to see how the commerce of tho West can bo_carried on withont a very largo augment in rolling stock, If the managaments of the ronds cannot furnieh this 28 wanted they searcely ought to objoct to the ngo of their ronds byoutsido ownors of cars and locomotives, un- dor suitable rogulations and at reasonablo com- ponantion.

Thero was very little chango in the general fontures of the grocery market. Comparatir. little was doing in the way of sales, neither th local nor outeido demands being very coneidera~ ble, and values were not subjected to any ma- terial fluctuations. Tho colfee market continues strong, and ayrups, toas, sugars, rice, and most other goods in tha list were also firmly held. Dry goods wero quiet, almost to daluess, the inquiry being mainly confined to small orders to meot the immediate wants of the retail trado. Prices remain firm as presiously quoted. No change was developed in the butter market. So far as choico es wera concerned, fair ac- tivity provailed, but in the poorer eorts only a moderato amount of trading was done. Bigging remains dull at former rates. The cheose trade iy reviving a little, and fine goods ara working firmer. In Now York thoro bas recently boen a sharp advance, and the tendency hero seems to be in tho samo direction. Canned goods wero moving ou o liberal scalo, for the &enson, and tho market is firm, with sn_npward tendency in_certain lines. Coal remains firm. The fish trade was rensonsbly active at unchang- ed prices. Dried fruits wero but little m\'&lfirofl for, and quotations are almost nominal. Hides and leather met with & good demend, and the quoted prices were thoroughly sustained. There wore no changes in the oitmarket.

"Fhere was no partioular chenge in the lamber market ; trade ia very quict, and prices are with- ont alteration. Iron and stoel were guiot and stoady, and doalers report & gradual improve- ment in the demand. Metals, nails, and naval stores, were dull and unchanged.

There wore in the yards, awaiting shipment, numorous droves that had been !.lfmxdmsmi early in the receding woek, and until there were facilities ?ur gotting these forward, shippers of course could not be expected to re- sume operstions. On _ Wednesdsy, the market assumed a better look. The obstruc- tions on the roads leading Esstward wero re- ported removed, and, with a better mpgly of Cars, shippers took hotd with something of their wonted energy, and, under a light mgsg of de- sirablo grades of atock, tho market ‘‘firmed up " gensibly. Holders grew more confident, and some 0f the bost cattle were held over for Thursday's market, in anticipation of better rices. The furious snow-storm of Thursday, oworer, . o obstructed transportation, that outside buyers were zgain compelled to with- draw from the market, lesving local butchers about the only operators, and ce Wednesday +values have been unsettled and variable. - As to the future couree of prices there scems to be :nt littlo diffetence of -opinion smong deslers ero. the country, reports indicate thai the number of cattle now maturing for market is larger than 2t any previous period, and it is %enumu accopted a8 a fact that prices must rulolow.
