P, Baldwin in the Alliance. Doubt is to the soul what salt and waves are to thesea. In doubt we have “the po- tency and promise” of every kind of prog- ress. Withoutdoubt there could be no civil- ization or advance of any kind. A century and a half ago the right of taxa- tion without representation began to be doubted... Under the leadership of John and Samuel Adams and other brave doubters that doubt began to spread and to grow, and the outcome was the revolution and the Repub- Hic. Three centuries ago some one began to doubt the divine right of Kings to rule, and out of that doubt has grown the modern doctrine of the divine rights of the, people. Fifty years ago a few brave men doubted the Jawfulness of slav- ery; Church and State frowned and scowled, but the doubters doubted and bred doubts inthe mindsof others, and the result has been not merely the abolition of slavery. but the renationalization of this Republic by new ideasand new forces. Three centuries ago Rome had apparently reduced Europe to the dead level of certainty and uniformity, when ‘up started the fearless doubter Luther, and from the crop of doubts he sowed out came the great Protestant Church. Luther, how- ever, only half accomplished his work. He threw off the yoke of an infallible church, butleftupon his new church the yoke of an * infallible Book. Nu matter what was writ- ten init, it was the Bible, and that was the end. of the matter. If the claim had been that the Book was infallible only in its. general scope and purpose, or in- fallible only in. spiritual «matters, there would have been but little question. But it was made infallible upou all subjects, and even down to verse and word,—a rem- nant of the old Romish principle of shutting , Out inquiry py absolute authority. Butsoon newdoubters came along and blasphemously doubted whether, atter all, there was any great difference between a church and a book. They began to assert, these doubters did, the broad principle that man was no more made for an infallible book than foran infallible church, but that both book and chureh were made-for man, Taking the lofty teachings of ourSavior concerning the S: Sab- bath. as their precedent, they began to say that the authonty of the hutman reason with- in the limits of reason was supreme, and that whatever was wrong in man could not pos- sibly be right in God. -'‘They began to teach that any creed that violates man’sinstinets of justice and nis sense of right was wrong, no matter from what souree it came. If they found any such teaching attributed to Christ, they boldly asserted that it was an interpola- tion and a mistake. 2 5 ‘This is now the tendency of modern’ relig- ious thought, and the outcome of it will sure- ly be not to destroy God or Christ, or give us a new God or Christ, put to deepen, broaden, and purify our conception of both God and Christ. Thus the religious doubters are slowly but surely eliminating from Christian- itvits pagan and scholastic adulterations. They have long ago left behind bell and can- dle, dramatic. and spectacular Christianity, borrowed from heatnenism, and are now busy reconstructing by the aid of reason and common sense the metaphysics ot Platonic and mediaval Christianity. They doubt the fenuineness of that love of God that creates humanity and permits’ nine-tenths of it to perish in an endless hell, and question the old pagan ideaof appeasingan infinitly kind God by the sacrifice of innocent blood; in a word, they dqubt whether, after all, that ponderous thodlogical machinery pompously calied “tthe plan of salvation,” beginning with the fall of the first and. culminating in the sacrifice of the second Adam, is not a hu- auan invention. ‘Who futboms the eternal thought? Who talks of scheme or plan? The Lord is God—He needeth not ‘The poor device of ian. As the cumbrous and costly aqueducts of antiquity have all been superseded by the simple principle that water will always rise as high as its source, so in the place of those old and bloody theories tinctured with Plu- tonism and heathenism the doubters are in- stituting the far more Christlike and under- standable theory thata man is responsible only for his own actual sins; that the weight of that responsibility is moditied by heredi- tary traits and associations. over which he has no contrul; that beyond establishing the universal Jaw that sin is its own exceeding great punishment and its results death,—the vath of the soul by eating out its tissues of honor and virtue as witha deadly cancer, and the death of happiness,—God ‘has noth- ing further of wrath or of vengeance for the sinner. They attirm, these doubters do, that man is’ partner in his own salvation, and must be saved. not through some incom- prehensible satistaction of Divine wrath by the brutal = murder of our Savior by a -Jawiess mob - eighteen centuries ago, but by assimilating and mak- ~ ing part of both life and conduct, even as the sick man assimilates and makes part_of his life and blood the atoms of the physician’s medicine, the life, conduct, and teachings of the great Teacher; and that no man can so manipulate the everlasting Iaws of the uni- Verse as to justify a bad life by a few jnmoments of highiy emotional deathbed re- ventance, or any other repentance not ac- companied by restoruon and reconstruction: ‘the doubters insist upon the simple words of Christ as their religion, and not upon the - Caustruction of these words by interested persons or sects. They put fidelity to duty infinitly abuve xecuracy-in belief—in fact, they treat belief as an intellectual matter, and of secondary importance in. soul-saving.

Physicians are Coustantly inventing new methods of treat- ".-1 stracting new. cod ing disease, “lawyers are constantly con- Why should there not be progress In religious methods? The doc- tors have cured the barbarism of the knife by. anwsthetics; the lawyers have rid the world of torture and reduced hanging to but one offense: Why should not the preachers vie with them? When a boy I never passed a Sunday without 2 coffin or some of the wrath of God in it. I like’ the present style of making Christian life rather than a ereed or adeath far better. Lam even will ing ‘to say, “One world atatime.” If God can be trusted in this world, why not trust Him for the next? Let us begin with find- ing out and obeying His laws in this present lire. . All this great change has come from doubt; and from doubt within as well as without the Chureh. Lrepeat, doubt is the salt and the waves that Keep the oceans of the soul sweet. Certainty is stagnation, and when to certain- ty you couple enforced uniformity the result is death. Doubt isan intellectual act. It is the in- tellect sitting in judgment upon the past and the present. ‘I'he mischief of doubt is that it isaptto run into denial. and thus destroy both belief and spirituality. ‘This, however, isan abuse of the true function of doubt. While doubt should at all times be used a: eheck upon credulity, the same as we use common sense as a check upon excessiy speculation or the over-retinements of lo; it should never be alluwed to interfere with thatinstinet of worship that is inseparable from every human soul and dwells in every human bosom. — The human race loves mu- sic, and no amount of speculation upon the musical scale or the philosophy and metaphys- ics of music can ever supersede those popu- Jar and great outbreaks of this musical in- stinct that come as unbidden as te sweet south windsin springtime, How puny and idle all that has been written about music befure such spontaneous and untraceable bursts: of music as the Marseilles hymn, or “Old John Brown,” or, “Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are Marching,” or ‘Nearer, my God, to thee.” So with worship. Upon no oceasion whatever should it be checked or suppressed by doubt. 1t isas natural for the human heart to go out to God and Christ in love, worship, and gratitude as it is to breathe. If our spirituality is low and subtle doubt fills the heart with bitterness: If Faith is dry And men the flies of latter spring That jay their eggs, and sting and sting, And weaye their petty cells und die; then comes as its cure the grand yet simple words of Christ, “Obey and ye shall know of the doctrines whether they be ut God.” has its, limitations. ‘These limita- the li i man mind. that the. hu- man mind has no adequate organs to grap subjects defy vroof. I doubt if euce is capable of Iogical or ab- stract proof. Philosophy and science deal with created things; God, being the Uncre- ated, is beyond their grasp. God’s existence is a first truth, the same as the existence of matter and ourselves. ‘To doubt those three great first truths—matier, man, and God— i a mistake, perhaps __ intellectual ide, Whatever is fairly within the jurisdiction of the intellect: whatever the human mind has the requisit apparatus to investigate, isa levitimate subject both for the turerunner, doubt, and the messenger, investigation. . There are some questions, however, that the human mind has no ade- quate powers to solve. Forexarmple, immor- tality, Here the true rule, as jt seems to me, {s to dismiss our doubts and—trust. Douvi is the pathway that leads unto the gates of faith, Doubt ought not to be made a weapon to batter down that beautiful gate. Because a bugeannot comprehend a inan’s thoughts and ways, shall, therefore, that bug deny the existence of that juicy fact that has atfurded. him so many a savory meal ? Isthereacure for doubt? For solvable doubts the cure is discussion, observation, reason, justas the cure for democracy is more democracy. Doubt is Nature’s anti- dote for credulity, and as an antidote it. is invaluable. But an antidote is a poor diet. Meu can no more live upon antidotes than upon negations. As to our unsolvable doubts, the cure is Duty, Patience, and Trust. If thou couldst trust, poor soul, In Him who rules the whole, Then wouldst kave Wisdom and truth sre well, But trust is best. Doubt, then, is both legitimate and useful. Blessed be the church that has honest doubt ers in its midst! lessed be the mau that is never without a doubt on his soul! It is a painful process, this doubting. it is Gou’s plowshare driving through the worthless roots and weeds to the end that a crop of golden in may be made to grow in the neglected field. ‘Ihe first recorded scene that is given us in our Savior’slife after His baby- hood is that of an.eaer boy of 12 in the tem- ple among the doctors, “both hearing and answering questions.” ‘The last scene that St. Matthew gives ‘us is in these inexpressi- bly beautiful words: Then the eleven disciples went away into’ Galilee, intoa mountain where Jesus nad 2p- pointed the:n. And when they saw Him they worshiped Him, but some doubted. «And Jesus caine und spoke unto them, say- ing. All power is given 10 me both in Heaven and in Earth. £ Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, bap- tiztng them in the name of the Father ‘and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching thus to observe all things Lbave commanded you; and, lo! Lam with you alway, even unto the end vf tho world. Thus we have Christ beginning as an i; quirer and ending with blessing inquiry. Let us linger upon this scene. Itis good to be here, Christ had been brutaily murdered, “crucified, dead and buried’; Le had been resurrected; He was about to leave Ilis be- loved eleven forever. Even the number is significant: The twelfth had been a denier and had betrayed Him. That is the out- come of all denial. Denial gives us atheism and death; doubt a constantly better concep- tion of God and immortality. Denial pro- duced Judas; doubt produced Thomas, ‘That this parting might not be interrupted he appointed a meeting in the solitudes of amountain, The eyes of the eleven rested upon His glorified and resurrected body. ‘Their ears for the first time in history heard the voice and their hands felt the pressure of a hand that had passed through the dusky gates of death and returned. ‘And they that saw worshiped Him, butsome doubted.” Who were these doubters? Was it Peter. or John, or James! The lips of the evangel- ist are sealed; their names are not. writ- ten. But. we do know that ail of that eleven—doubters as well as wor- shipers—from “ that day forth lived nobie Christian lives. and never swerved in their obedience to their command then given them by the beloved Master; died the heroic deaths of martyrs, and now belong to “the goodly fellowship of the apostles.” Did the Master reproach the doubters? Did fe discriminate between them and the wor- shipers ? Did he even repeat to the some that doubted these inexpressibly sad words, “ Lovest thou me more than these?” Not the command is to beth doubter and wor- shiper, “Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations. What, doubters teach! “ Baptiz- ing them”: what, doubters baptizg! Yet our Saviors love and charity was broad enough to commission both. Hesays: “ Lo! Lam with you always, even to the end of the world.” How could that “Christ, that a score of years before started His great career as an inquirer, close that carver asa pitiless enemy of bewildered and dazed searchers after truth ? In that promise we rest. There are no sins of doubtdeep enough, or broad enough, or wide enough to {shut outan hon- est soulfrom Christ’s goodness and love. The mantle of His charity is large enough to include’ in its folds heterodoxy as well.as orthodoxy, Samaritan as wellas Jew, dog- muatist as Well 'as doubter. ELIOT’S INDIAN BIBLE. A BOOK WHICH ONLY ONE PERSON CAN NOW READ. New York Sun. “ Wuppetesittukqussunnoowehtunkquoh ” is the longest word printed in the first Bible eyer published in America. It is to be found at Mark i., 40, and signifies “ kneeling down to Ilim.” It is in the language of the Natick Indians, an extinct New England tribe, and only one person living can read their Bible. He is Mr. J. H. Trambull, of Hartford. ‘Lhe In- dian title is * Wusku Wuttestamentum Nul- Lordumna Jesus Christ Nuppoquohwus Sua- eneumun,” but it is better known as Eliot’s Indian Bible. {twas printed in Cambridge in 1661 by the “ Commissioners of the United Colonies in New England, at the charge‘and “with the consent of the corporation in En- gland for the propagation of the Gospel among the Indians in New England.” ‘The translation was the work of John Eliot, a missionary and a pastor at Roxbury, Mass., who began the study of the Natick Indian dialect when he was 42 years old. Udving in 1619 attained some proficiency, he began totranslate the Bible, with the aid of an Indian, .into the Natick tongue, and after a labor of eight years he completed the trans- lation of both the Old‘ and the New ‘Testa-’ ments. The names of the books were re- tained asin the English version, and such words as were unknown to the Indians were kept with an. Indian : termination, such as ““eherubim-lab.””_ The New Testament was rinted first, and it required three years to finish the Old Testament. Eliot had one In- dian printer who alone could ** compose” the work, and who did the. proof-reading as well. There were 585 reanis of paper used in printing the ible, the costof it ranging from WO to TW shillings a sheet. The sight of the work nade old Cotton Mather exclaim: * Be- hold, ye Americans, the greatest, honor that ever you were partakers of |. ‘This is the only Bible that ever was printed inall America, from the very foundation of the world.” Marmaduke Johnson was sent out by the English corporation to superintend the print- ing of the Old Testament. Uvon the subject of printing the work, the corporation wrote, May 7, 1659: “ We conceive it will not onely be acceptable unto Go. but very profitable to the poor heathen, and will much tend to the promotion of the sperituall part of this worke amongst them.” nae ‘Twenty copies of the Bible were printed with a dedication to King Charles Il, Very few of thein are in stence. In 1863 Mr. Joseph Sabin paid $1,150 for a copy, which was the highest. price that had -ever been paid‘for a buok in this country at that date. A duplicate copy in the possession of Mr. flenry C. Murphiy, of Brooklyn, cost him 35. When he was Minister to’ the Hague he picked up the prize upon a book-stall in Lon- don, where its value was not known. ‘The copy that sold for $1,150 in 186S was a dupli- cate from the Budician Library. at Oxford, and reached this country in 1862, seeking a purchaser at $1,000, It wzs purchased by Mr. Bruce, and, upon the dispersion of his. library, Mr. Savin bought it for Mr. John A. Rice, of Chicago. ‘The price. paid made a sensation among bibliophiles. After the purchase had been completed it was dis- covered that the leaf of “contents” was wanting, Fortunately, however, an imper- feet copy of the Bible happened to be acces- sible from which the needed Jeaf was ob- tained, and Mr. Rice was made happy by the acquisition of what he imagined to be a. per- fect copy of Eliot's Indian Bible, In 1870, at the saleof Mr. Rice's collection, the book was it by Mr. Bouton, who sold it to Mr, Williain Menzies, Mr. Menzies discovered that the leaf of contents inserted by Mr. Rice was that belonging to the second edition. He replaced it with a genuine leat from an im- perfect copy of the first edition, then in his Possession. Menzies paid $1,007.74 for Mr. 3 this copy, and at his sale it was purchased by by Mr. John J. Cooke, of Providence, for $900,—the change in price being due, in a degree, to the change in the value of gold,— and Mr. Cooke now possesses the book. Being what is known as a * Royal copy,” be- cause of its dedication to the King, it is rare, ‘The late George Brinley, of Iurtford, had no less than seven copies of the Eliot Bible— one for every day in the week. One of them had belonged to Jonathan Edwards, and another to Gov. Stoughton, The p: of the Jot, which was once the glory of John Allan’s great library: containing the dedication, * To the high and mixzhty Prince Charles,” and much: interest among the lovers of rare books to see what price this will fetch at the sale this eek. The Allan copy has a reputation of own, At the head of the title is the partly defaced autograph of Sir William Ashhurst, who was a prominent member (and became Governor) ot the Corporation for Propagat- ing the Gospel in New England. 1ts English title is within a border of printers’ urna- ments of the acorn pattern, and the Indian title to the New ‘Testament has a_border of Jlozenge-shaped ornaments made of printers’ marks.

The whole of Eliot’s translation was writ- ten with but one pen, “which pen,” says Cotton Mather, “had it not been lust, would have certainly deserved a richer ease than was bestowed upon that pen with which Hol- Jand writ the translation of Plutarch.” When this Bible was printed New. England was a wilderness, and was teeming with a great In- dian population, Eliot was a religious en- thusiast, and he was urged on to the transta- ton of the Bible by apocats from King Phiti for books to read.” When he began the work the printing of a pamphict was a work of great importance, and aya monument of ab- original philology this Bible has, it is co: ceded, never been ied, natwithstandin; the etforts of the missionary societies for the last 220 years to Christianize the Indiaus. AN INFIDEL’S TITEORY. CHRIST A MYTH AND APOLLONIUS THE MAN. ‘There are, says the New York correspond- ent of the St. Louis Republican, several in- fidel clubs in this city, composed of lawyers and others, who support each other’s lack of faith by essays, theses, and demonstrations. Observing that a member of one of these was peculiarly radical, and that he evew atfected to discard the Anno Domini in writing his letters, I took occasion to find out something of his reasoning, and in brief I discovered his reasoning to be about this: That-Jesus of Nazareth was a myth, and that the person in history from: whose life the ‘story that is given to us by St. Matthew was drawn was one.Apollonius of Tyna, whose biography was written by Flaccus Philostratus; that Philostratus was purposely kept in the shadow by the manipulators of history, so that he would not be placed in the front ranks, and that St. Matthew copied from his life of Apollonius enough to make up the story of Jesus. “Philostratus,” said the infidel, “appears in the biographical diction- ary. St. Matthew does not, and he probably would never have been heard of had his name not been appended to the Gospel legend. Philostratu although “2 contempora: writer, does not so much as mention the na of Jusus Christ or the Christians. Apollonius taught by ‘allegories and framed a gospel and creed, He came before Christ and per- formed the miracle of stilling the storms, and many similar feats attributed to Jesus. Now, St. Matthew fails to give any. account o Jesus from the age of 13 to the age of 30, Why is this? Because the life of Apolloniu: published then did not contain any account of his Jife from his youth until he was 30, at which time le was wandering in India. ‘The chronicle of it was made by Darius, a” disci ple, and was lost. It was not found again until after St. Matthew had written” his Gospel. Hence we have but fifteen years of the career of Jesus, which is said to have extended over thirty-thr £ this man- useript journal of Darius fallen into the hands of the Gospel: plagiarist I dare say there would be no hiatus in the Gospel life of Christ. The Four Gospels are defective where the original manuscript was defective, and they are in greatest harmony and most agree where they faithfully imi- tate the story of Apoalionins, which was without doubt the original Greek trom which the Gospel was translated. ‘This is, there- fore, the year 1881 of our Lord Apollonius, instead of our Lord Jesus Christ.” ‘Thus the “clever magician Apollonius,” prean Christ of the first century, by substitution to do historical service to the infidels for Jesus, and the spirit of unbelief Was. So strong upon the theorist, whose curious bent I have thus outlined’ as a cu- riosity of belief, that after buitding up this sheculative structure confided to me that in his opinion Apullonius was the greatest old fraud that ever lived.

He claimed that the missionaries in Eastern lands -are best able to testify asto the present usages, and to judge concerning the p: They are unani- mous lu denying that there ever was such a thing as unintosicating wine in Palestine, The people sometimes so boil the juice of grapes as to reduce its volume about one- twentictn, and then allow itto ferment. ‘They also boil the grape-juice down to a thick sirup, reducing its volume three-fourths, and the product does not ferment, but it is never called “wine.” -The Reformed Episcopal Synods of New York and Philadelphia assembled in Christ Chureh, Rahway, N. J, on Wednesday at 12 m., and consunimated & union under the name of “ ‘he Synod_of New York and Philadelphia of ‘the Reformed Episcopal Church.” Bishop William R. Nicholson, D. D., was elected’ President; Mr. H. A.’ J. Granberry, Vice-President: Mr. J. K.Wheel- ex, Treasurer: and Mr. Godley’ Secretary. The following gentlemen were elected. mem- bers of the Standing Committee: tha Rev. William ‘'T. Sabine, of New York; the Rev. Dr. William Newton and the Rev. Charles II. Tucker, of Philadelphia: Mr. Jotn Ervine, New York: Drs; Samuel Asburst and Horace Y. Evans, Philadelphia. “ Turn hit out to die” is an. occasional rule with churches, as it is the. general cus- tom with omnibus companies, In Phils phia there isa Presbyterian Chu had. a_nice old gentleman for pastor. His only offense was that with advancing age he ‘was growing feeble, and had become a little slow in his preaching, Most of his congre- gation wanted him to go away, which he de- clined to do. . Finally the discontented ones brought the matter up in Prespytery. The Presbytery met a few days ago, and was pre- pared to take up the case, with the under- standing that there would be a bitter and possibly a prolonged contest. ‘The unpleas- antness was referred tu 2 committee, who brought in a report to the effect that the pas- h toral relation had better be dissolved. © When | such a report’ {s brought in concerning an elderly gentleman's pastorate, there is’ a stubborn fight generally. In this case, how- ever, the aged man astonished and gratified both friends and foes by presenting his . res- ignation on the spot. Oil was thus poured upon the waters of Presbyterial strife, and business began to move along in a harmoni- ous and edifying manner. SUNDAY SALAD. “T used to be an odd-job Christian, put I aun now working full time,” was the remark of alaboring man who had been remiss in his duties, but had been through a revival. Mr. John Semple’s prayer might be said, not irreyerently, over some of our modern ministers. When a pompous young man de- jivered a sermon which was well calculated to make an exhibition of himself, but was good for little else, Semple prayed, **O Lord! prick him and let the wind outof him, and then perhaps he’ll be able to preach,” It is never well to joke on serious subjects, for before you know’ it you -may be bitten. Archbishop Laud, who was aman of small Stature, was asked when at dinner with Charles 1. to. say grace, Ie turned jocosely to the King’s jester, who was present, and asked him to say it instead. The jester ely bowed his head and said sotemnty, eat praise be given to God and little laud to the Devil. Amen,” A great many people say what they don’t meanin thelr prayers. A Scotchman went be- i fence to pray, and declared to the Lord the fence should fall on him it would be no more than he deserved. At that mo- ment a high wind blew the fence over on the petitioner, Ie rose hastily from his knees and cried out ina frightened voice: “ech, Lord! it’s an awfu’ warld this; a body canna say a thing in joke but it’s ta’en in earnest.” When during a severe thunder-storma bolt fell on the monastery of the Carmelites, it de- stroyed the chapel, but left the rest of the building uninjured. A wit said very gravely that it was an evidence of a kind and protect- ing Providence. This seemed so strange a statement that he was asked to explain. * “Why. don’t you see,” he answered, “the thunderbolt struck the chapel, and the Lord knows that none of the monks are to be found there. Now, if it had struck the kitchen it would have destroyed them all.” ‘The old-time sermons were sometimes very formidable. One minister who always had an hour-glass on the pulpit got only half way through when the last sands ran out. Quiet- ly turning it he said, “Now, brethren, we'll take another gluss together before we part,” and went on. When Stephen Marshall told his congregation that his sermon would be divided into twenty-four parts one of the pew-holders started down the broad aisle. “Where are you going??? asked Marshall. “Yo get my Slippers and nightgown,” was the reply.”” There is a certain Galveston family that does not attend chureh as regularly as they should, but they send the oldest boy every Sunday to keep up appearances. Last Si day the head of the family said: “ Go dress yourself, boy; it’s tlne fortyou to go to church.” “I would like to know,” re sponded the boy, sulkily, “why [ am the ouly one in this family who has got to be re- ligious?” “Because you need it most, you seroundrel,—that’s why!?? thundered ‘the stem parent, feeling for the young martyr’s hair. A clergyman of Saco, Me., recently inti- mated in a prayer that there limit to the Divine merey by beseeching the Almighty “to forgive, if Thou canst, the sins of our Governor.” The Boston Herald says that it does not appear whether the sins referred to consist’ in the appointment to office of Fusionists or in something less atrocious, but finds comfort in the reflection that it is probably clear in Heaven, A Boston clerzy- man, Who was once asked by a scoffer to de- fine the unpardonable sin, replied: “Tam sorry I cannot oblige you, but be patient; you'll know some di The Saco minister evidently mistrusts that the Governor ought to’ know now. : CALENDAR FOR THE WEEK.

Some Interesting Facts About the “Rochdale Equitable Pioneers? of Englani—Reasons Why Co-Opera- tton Should Se Successfulin Chicago. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Cnrcaco, April 16.—It was with much in- terest that Tread in Tue ‘Trmune recently | § that a codperative society had been started in Chicago, to be conducted on the principles ofthe “Rochdale Equitable Pioneers” of England, which, by an authentic report, 1 find was- commenced in. the year ISH by twenty-cight men who jointly raised a capi- tal of 340 and began their “own store business (nono of whom then imagined that the Society would ever reach its present mag- nitude). ‘The Society opened their present Central Stores, in Rochdale, England, in the year 186s. It then found that they had a capital of $2,440,175, a membership of 10,429, the sales on the Jast quarter amounting to $382,785; profits on the same, $U6,085, and ed us follows: Interest ou mem pital at 5 per cent perannum, $17,370; end ou inembers’ purehases, $46,270: to educational fund, $1,225; valance, 31,520, to the reserve fund (this being a second al- Towance),. = 3 ‘The Seciety -has, besides its own central premises, eighteen or twenty branch stores mand around the Town of Rochdale, with a large amount invested in house property}; each branch is well supplied with a news- room and reference library. At the central store is to be found an extensive reference library, also culating libs of upwards of 14,000 volumes, all of which are open daily and tree to menibers and their children. As acodperator of one of the London so- cieties for many: years, L am fam! the principles and advantages of cvdperation ried out; and while living some years in this country, I have often felt much surprise that such codperation had not been y adopted by the working artisan and salaried classes of the great American Se ‘The large and powerful codperative socie- ties of London had their origin, as is well known, in the circumstance of a few service clerks codperating together by si scribing an equal amount of money and therewith buying a chest ot tea at wholesale and then dividing the same among them; the result was so sitis~ factory, both as to cost and quality, that they at once extended the plan to the purchasing of asinany of their Supplies as could be practically dune, as well as extend-~ ing the privilege to as many of their col- Jeagues in the service as could Du eunvelnent sed, ly admitted. Only a few. months. ¢ however, when the wisdom and_nect starting a codperative store was so 7 urgent that the organization thereof w speedily and casily accomplished, and to-day the men who thus bought their tea on the same principle buy nearly every supply,— . food, raiment, medicine, house furniture, fuel and light, horse and carriage, insurance, » besides becoming, by their codperation, wholesalers and manutacture! From my observation in many large cities in this country [ ain of opinion there is none in the Union where codperation ought to be More successful than in Chicago; the thou- ands of working men, artisans, clerks, and sistants of every kind, who are devoting their energies, time, aud skill for the low rate of compensation so generally given by em- ployers in, this city, and who haye no chance of ever getting any greater share of the magnificent profits accruing largely through their energies, to the capital of their employers, now have an op- portunity to aid_in’ the development ota principle which will bring them an immediate benelit, and the ultimate acquisition of many new and greater advantages. From the prospectus of the new Society whicn is now before me I ohserve that it is intended to adopt as closely as. possivle the principles of the “Rochdale Pioneers,” which are probably the most equitable of any known codperative society, giving to every member an equitable share of the profits, whether for. capital invested, gvods pur- chased, or labor performed for the Society. The terms of admission and membership are so moderate as to be within the reach of all,— viz: 50 cents admission, one share of $25 to Dublin, Belfase, und Londgnde limited to the value of his share. - ‘The direct and immediate benefits are sev- eral_and considerable, but as they are plainly set forth in the prospectus 1 would urge ail who wish to know what they are to sécure a copy by calling on or sending te Mr. John R. Markle, No. 66 East Luke street. aan Thope the gentlemen now charged with the responsibility of floating this new So- ciety, ill neither falternor delay, There is a at need for such in this city, and. if speedily and wisely established is bound to succeed, probably to a greater extent than the promoters now modestly hope for.
