A little girl, reading over the names of females recorded in the Biblo, was disappointed because her amo was notamong them. But she comforted her- self with the determination to be such a good girl that ifever another Biblo is written hor namo shall go into that. But deeds speak louder than words, and good- ness is preferable to notoriety. It is not those who say, ‘Lord, Lord !? but they who do the will of God that enter heaven. A short time ago a Chicago Christian, in a revival meeting, was asked to Jead in prayer, He did so, and at the close of the services he found a note pinnod to bis coat with these words written in It: has lea ene soul to God.” The Jnlerior asks ‘Rot this suillcient reward for so small an effort?” We fall to see whore tho effort came in, or why 14 should bo rewarded, unless tuo pious Chicagoans expect a reward for every prayer they make. In this section pray without pay or reward, because itis a pleasure and we love to do it. A short time ago the police were vory active in the enforcement of the Sunday law against liquor dealers. They became exhausted in the offort and ap exchange says they have changed their programme, and now they kindly stand at the side doors of the ram sbops Fea@y to opeu and welcome every thirsty soul. There cau be no growth in grace in the soul without constant prayer; and just tbe moment tho soul ceases ‘to grow in grace that instant it begins to lose ground. There can be no stundstill, Thore must either bea coustant growth and expansion of all the graces, or else a continual shrinkage, and the apostle’s preserip- tion for sickiy and indolent Christians is to be always abounding in the work of the Lord, if they want to Ye steadfast and immovable, rooted and grounded in to the faith, The Germans of the West aro thoroughly rational- {stic, notwithstanding Christianity has made great progress among them. They ridicule the Sabbath and every form of religious worship, and yet shore is no class that sets more store by the day or worships more devoutly their god than theso same Germana Every Babbath they lay aside their ordinary work and spend their time in boat racing or shooting matches; at balls, Sheatros and fostivala, They worsbip far more gealously their god than the majority of our Christian people do the one living and true God. Albeit the latter find fault with them for their zeal, they do not show them by example and life tho better wa: Tho anomaly ofa Christian nation supporting a semi, paganism against Christianity for political or pecuniary reasons is likely to be continued as long asthe Turk has anything to offer John Bull for his friendship. It J to-day as it has been for generations past the wonder of the world, Aud yet Protestant Christianity has more Mberty and power under Mohammedan rulo than it would bave under Russian or Greek rule. For, while the Turks vie with each other in eivi!l misrule, they Fomand tho religious control of their vassals to the Greek priests, who buy their parishes and pulpits first from the Turks and then from oach other. So that religion is as much an object of varter and trado as ix the commonest commodity in the market. And Eng- land stands by and approves and encourages this ecclosiastical farce, Thero are two parties in the Lutheran Church here, ritualists and conservatives, and their hossility toward each other is evinced as warmly and frequently as is that of tho High and Low Church Episcopalians, Dr. Conrad, of the seminary at Gettysburg, Pa, lately offered a prize of $30 to the student who could make most proficiency in homiletics and elocation as evinced by his preparation of sermons and his skill in reading the hymns, liturgy and {Scriptures As # counter- part of this a suggestion has been made to Dr. Wede- kind, of this city, a leading ritualist, who wishes to in troduce the confessional into his church, that he should bow offer a prize for special proficiency to the student who confesses the most sins. We do pot think well of this suggestion, tor withoata prize there ts sin enough mm churches and seminaries already; but if premiuine are offerc’ we dare not guess where the ond will be. Hell that 1s to many now £0 problematical would then be u necessity and a certainty. What ts the value of liberty, religious or eivil, if after tour years of war and eleven of peace a Northern man and minister cannot remain in Mississippi withoat endangering bis life because of his sentiments, A fow days ngo the Rev. H. M. Charch, formerly of Vernon Ceutre, N. Y., arrived at his former bome, having been riven out of Mississipp! by @ mob. He has been preaching in that State jor three yoara, and toward the latter part of July he was taken 1m charge by a mob in the town of Summit, and marcied with an escort of tin horns under threats of shooting him on the spot. He demanded to be, aud was taken to the Mayor’s office, whe alter a parley, he was released. ut he became con- Vinced that there was no protection for hii there and that he was Gghting a hopeless battle, and therefore came North. Butis that all that american citizenship rs worth?

Miss Sarah Smilg, the godly and eloquent Quaker- ess Evangelist, hus en quictly resting at her home in Saratoga during thesummer. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, has aso been summering atthe Springs, and recently visited the home of this lady. He de- scribes her home ind babits very pleasantly in the Hvangelist, from witch we extract:— Yesterday I mada pleasant pilgrimage to the Ex- celsior Spring and 0 Miss Sarah Smiley’s cottage of “Elim”? which lye: hard by it, The Excelsior water 48 pleasant unto ihe taste, and the walk thither ts under pines und hanlocks, and over a path as sott to the tread as velvetmoss. Miss Smiley is busily oecu- pied upon the volune which has cost her several years of thought and laba. It is entitled “The Fulness of the Biessings of the Gospol of Christ,” and will be isaued by Randolph this fall, There is room for wise book on thetrue doctrine of a higher Christian life, tor this land aia England have had a surfeit of well meant craditics. The meek littie woman who ts weaving this work has come to be the best known woman, perhaps, in America. She dwails in w cosey cottage that *Shen- stone might have eavied.” [tis Quakerism for ueat- ness, but set in the bright colors of geraniums and pe- tunias apd violets instead of monotonous drat, A sociable bird has built its peat over her door and a bevy of squirrels have domesticated themselves in her yard. These guests have come to live be her probably from huving heard that Quakers never allow firearms and dwell m peace with man and brutes. Miss Smiley insists that the squirrels are iinproving under her daily culture, but she coufesses that when she opens her window and tells them not to kick the dirt around from their holes they only sit up on their haunehes and whisk their tails at her. I bave known of some human pupils whose nature was about as hard to change as the squirrels now under ber moral tuition.

Ockan Grove, N.J., August 26, 1876 ‘The great centennil camp meeting at this place closed this morning with a sacramental service, in which soveral hundred persons participated. Ten days’ stretch on the religious rack is not such a pleasant and precious experience after allas some persons would have us beliove itto be. Nor is 1 so conducive to spir- {tuality and growth in grace as many suppose. Indeed, on the contrary, from what I bave seen here during those ten days am satisfled that the oumber and charac- ter of the meetings tends to dissipate religious thoughts and to make the worshippers morcly “goodly formal saints’? as Wesley would call them. Nor can it be otherwise. Here at hall-past five A. M. a congregation gathers in a tent for a service of one hour and a half, in which “higher life”? and lower life experience is combined, and the latter class of Christians are urged to come up to the higher plane, albest, so far as I can discover, the advan- tage, morally and spiritually, ison the side of those who travel on the lower plane of experience. The most supremely egotistical and self-conceited persons whom I have met hore are those same “higher life” professors. 1% takes them to say the rudest and most uncbristian things to those whem they consider spirit- ually below them. Even common politeness seems to forsake many if not all of them, as soon as they get up on this “highway of boliness.”” As an example, let me cite a little incident which took place here a few days ago. Atone of those bigher life meetings a couple of young ladies sought the experience concernifig which so moch is said and written and so little known, They “tumbled down in the straw,” to use the common phrase here, and ove of those sanctitied fellows, with ruddy cheeks and sunset hair and beard, approached to give the necossary counsel to enable them to lay hoid of “the blessing.”’ Seeing somo personal adorn- ments on the ladies this'sauctified boor burst out in lan- guage substantially as follows:—“If you will ‘TEAK THOSE DEVILS OF¥ YOUK BREAST and arms und neck you will please God better and got the blessing sooner. What do you want of tnoso devils there? Take them off and cast them meh How can you serve God and nfammon?” Another he ordered tu Pluck the tlowers aud feathers out of ber bonnet aud caat the devils away if she wanted the blessing. Oue of the ladies, with more Christian meckness than this tellow manifested, told bin that she did not wish him tw be ber judge, tor sho would not like to be his 1 understand that be has tho most unsanctilied temper that ever fell to any man’s jot; and, of course, Une repro! riled him the more, 6o that he raved und created a littie commotion sround. A gentleman who romoustrated with him for bis rudeness to the lady was treated similarly, and, to avoid scandal aud con- troversy, pocketed 4 pair of objectionable sleeve but- tons, This boly vrother was put under bit aud curb, end must have left the camp ground next day, tor have not seen him since. Another sanctified brother on the morning of tho sixth day suggested the formation of a work league to visit ali ihe tents und cottages on the ground, to in- quire alter and talk with ail the unconverted or Unsanctified vccupants, As soon us ho bad sat dowo a “higher lite’ sister arose and declared that the | best thing to do was to sit still and see the ga’ vation of God; to jet the Holy Spirit work and let the peoplo simply entreat Him to do so. And thus from duy to day contradictory experiences were given and Suggestions made avd comparatively littio practical work for Christ or His Church was accomplish nine A. M. three prayer meetings were in full blast every day. At half-past one P. M. a holiness meotung was beld by a Mrs. Lizzie Smith, and attwoP. M. three prayer mectings were again ip running order, Add to these preaching services at ball-past ten A.M and three and a quarter to eight P. M., wito prayer meetings again at talf-past six P. M., and frequently, though not always, after the lust sermon, aud you have a day occupied with religious duties, allowing barely time to prepare and eat the reguiar meals of the ny. ‘This is nothing wore than religious gormandizing, displeasing to God, | believe, as physical gluttony |s. ‘There was no time allowed to read, mark, learn or wardly di it whatever spiritual jood had been minis- tered between oue service and another during the ten days, Tho RANULT OF TUE SPIRITUAL SEED BOWIXG, as near xs | have Leen able to glvan from the reapers. 1s about sixty children converted, and, perbaps, 250 oF 300 adulis converted or brought into the higher lile ex- perience.

The preaching as a whole, I think, was beiow the av- erage of camp meeting ciforts, weere mnisters usually trot out their best and grandest, Dr. Fowler, of New York; Dr. Kynett, of Puiladeiptina; Rev. Ichabod Sim- Dr. mons, of Brooklyn, E. D.; Bishop Gubert Haven Riley, of West Virginio, sud Rev. Henry M.

Dr. Max L. Rossvalley,"the Jewish physician of New Orleans, couverted last winter under the labors of Mr. Hammond, the evangelist, in Washington city, 1s now working im Brookyn and in this city as an evangelist among Israelites’ = Many remarkable cases uf cooversion have lately taken place under bis tabors, In Fleet strect Methodist Episcopal chureh, Brooklyn, where Dr. Roxsvalicy holds hia membership, severa! newly converted Israclites lately gave thrilling accounts of their conversion. Several meetings ure held every week by this new evangelist in the twocities. These converts trom Judaisin complain of the bitter social persecution they endure from reiatives aud former friends because of their change of religious views, The more advanced religious teachers among the Hebrews of course condemn this course pursued by barrower members ot the Church, in addressing the Methodist Preachers’ before vacation Dr. Rossvalley staied pubhely that one of the ravdis of the Temple Emanuel fa a believer in Jesus Christ as the Messiah, but that he dure not preach that fatth becauso bis congrezation pay lim $6,500 a year for preaching Moses ana the proptiets. In’ a recent friendly deoate between Drs, Adicr and Go.theil, of the Temple Kinanuel, and Rev, Samuel Almay, of this city, and Dr. Kossvalley, the tormer taking the negative and the latter the attirmative that Jesus Christ is the only person that hus answered the details of the prophecy in Iswiah, fifiy-third chapter, the rabbis were worsted. ‘Then it was Lat one of the rabbis confessed bis tah m Christ but bts fear to preach it, The bate grow out of the offorts of a Jewish father to cet his daughter, a recent cvavert trom Judaisin to Chris- tanity, to give up bor new faith or co dismissed and him. The matter was ieii to the de- cision of the rabbis and the Christian brethren uamed A greater interest than hus ever been known is ROW being taken by ali denominations of Christians in the conversion of the Jews, and efforis tor this end are being multiplied, Every Monday evening for a iew months past meetings aro beid in Allen sireet Meth- odist Episcopal churci* when Israelites gather to dis- cuss with tuoir Christian brethren, “according to the flesh,’’ the relative merits of Christianity aud Judaism, and the result is a great awaking among Israclites in regard to Christian faith. THE “COLOR LINE” CHURCLES. The “color line” is pretty well maintained by North- meeting IN THE erm ovangelisie when they visit the South, Mossra Cree and Hall travelled there recently in the interest of young men’s Christian associations. Mr. Cree made a report to his brethren in Chicago recently, and when he was asked what he had done with the colored people, his answer was evasive, bat it left the impression that it was impossible to work successfully with both races inthe South. The Interior, ot that city, sums up the caso thus:—“The amount of 1 is this, that Major Whittle, Mr. Moody, Mr. Cree and the Young Meu’s Christian Association, in their Southern shearings, clipped the flock with the white wool and left the larger flocks with the dark floeces to undisiurbed possession of the evil one”? They mado the excuse, too, thut they could not get places in which to address the negroes, but the Znterior meets that objeution by the statement that Fisk Uni- vursity, Nashville, Tenn, has abundance of room in which to hold meetings, and all the other Southera cities have God’s great temple, ready lighted, warmed and carpeted. So that the way 1s sufficiently prepared for sach labor as that indicated. The late Gencral Conference of the Methodist Episco- pal Church, in session at Baltimore, authorized the divistoa of annual conferences on the basis of color. There has been a very general condemuation of thie ineasura by the Mothodist press and people North ana South since, But the Boston preachers’ meeting lately took strong and decided grounds against any such division, and later still their colored brethren of the Charleston district South Carolina Conference (the con- ference is composed almost wholly of colored men) bave in meeting resolved that such action as is pro- posod is inconsistent with the Gospel of Christ, con- trary to the principles of the Methodist Episcopal Chureh and antagonistic to tho federal constitution, and that they will in every sense of the word ignore the action of the General Conference, which they declare is simply a compromise with caste prejudice. The design of the Gospel they state is to bring together and Rot to separate, all who are one iv Christ Jesus; and as they protest aguinst rave distinct they pleaged thomselves never to ask the separation whieb it 1s vow their privilege to secure, but that, on the contrary, | they will cheerfuily welcome to their inidst any of their brethren with light skin and brigat inteliect wEom God in His wise providence may send among them. ‘They ask their colored brethren who have pot sepa- Tuted never to ask such a relation to the Chureli, since on returning to the South her voice bas been heard on all sides deciaring, “No distinction; we ure of one blood.” They ask' their brethren to be patient, for God will make it all mght in time. This is tarning the tables on the paleiaces and manifesting a very com- mendabie spirit of loyalty to the Methodist Episcopal Church and to Christ The Geveral Conference was said to have had numerous petitions from colored min- | isters and from at least two conferences in the South, asking for such action and authority as they recom- mended, BEV. MR. VAN METER’S MISSION. WHAT BECOMES OF THE MONEY? It is well known here and in England that Rev. W. C. Van Meter, formerly of the Howard Mission in this city, has established Baptist missions and schools in the city of Rome m close proximity to the Vatican, where, as he boasts, he has bearded the lion in his den. He ts here now on a bogging expedition to raise mon ey to give his printing press employment in the publica- tion of 10,000 Bibies in the Italian language. The Con- gregationalist, of Boston, and the Avangelist, of this city, do not like Mr. Van Meter’s sensational mothod of doing his mission work. And besides they would like to kuow what becomes of the money that. goes into his cathedral, with all the rights and privileges attachod to vhat dignity, The pastor of the Chureh of the Fourteen Holy Martyra, Baltimore, refused to allow the bady of a member who had neglected communion to be buried in the cemetery, ana a lawsuit will ensue.

REMARKABLE STORY FROM OMAHA—SCENE IN A TELEGRAPH OFFICE--MR. ROSS TALKS WITH THE CHILD OVER THE WIRES—A SINGULAR COINCIDENCE. {From the Omaba Herald, August 22, A great dea! of interest was created in and around tho Western Union Telegraph headquarters on Sunday afternoon by Justice Hale, Sheriff iuriey and severa! others bringing up a little boy to be identified, through the medium of the telegraph, by Mr. Ross, in Phila- dolpbia, as bis stolen child, Charley. The supposed Charley was a little bright-oyed, curly-neaded boy, about six years old, light complexion, and the manners of a child used to better treatment than that which | falls to the Jot ot the common offspring of humanity, Ho was discovered by a Mra, Bushnell, who lives near Prospect Hill Cemetery, and was living at the time tu a | darky family named Colfey, Mrs. Bushneil, who lives bat a few doors trom tho place, had frequently observed the little flaxen-haired boy playing with the dusky scious of colored royalty, and beeame interested im the matter enough to question him. She earned that be was | making his home with the colored family, and that ho | had no parents. He could not give a very cloar account | of how ho came where she discovered him, put told | about once living In agreat city. She bocame still more interested, and questioned bim further, and learned enough to convince her that he was a stuien child, aud to jead her to strongly suspect that he was the long lost and universaily mourned Cnariey Ross, | ‘Tho prospect of $20,000 reward led ber to take immo- | diate steps in tho matter, and sho consulted Justice | Hale, and the two, with (he as#istance of General Strick- | Jand, procured ali the necessary miormation concern. | ing Charley Ross, including a photograph of the peuu- | ine boy, and ou Sunday afternvon twok hire out of We hands of the colored fatnily uuu put bim in the custody | HOW WORKING WOMEN. Results of the Hard Times Among Female Laborers, Thousand Women Idle in New York, Ten ARE THEY TO LIVE? The developments attending the Hxxatp investign thon of the swindles perpetrated upon sewing machine purebasers on the instalment piun show that this 1@ only one of the many troubles and tribulations to whieh working women are subjected to this city, Ao article Was published In these columns a few days ago, giving the condition of the market for female labor, 1a whieh i wag stated that no sensible diminution in the demand had been experienced so lar as the larger and More important houses were concerned. This states ment was made upon the authority of the employer or their superintendents, but though these firms give so hopetul a view of the situation there is good reason for believing that tully 10,000 womon are to-day Without the employment they need to support themselves or thos@ dependent upon them. Lad this ‘igure is, if anys thing, below the reality, and it is alleged by the works inz women that many of the firms are ompioying to- day a ies number of hands than they are aware of, owing to the action of thelr superintendents in omitting to report discharges. In Ove case, where a firm told a Hunatp reporter that they had not removed | a singlo hand during the summer, but bad kept them on in the hope of brisker business, it now appears thas the superintendent bas reduced tho rato of wages ot arranged a system cl forced furloughs, of which the Proprietors ure ignorant, As was shown in the article on unemployed mea, 16 is quite evident that the idle working women of thid city have a very faint prospect of earuing, during the coming winter, suillcient money to pay their necessary hying expenses ‘This is, of course, entirely due to the duiuess of trade and the Jack of orders for all kinds of manufactured goods, It may be well here to state the different vecupations and trades in whicn women and girls fad theiy means of hvelihood. Paper collar making is a ing industry; ior infolding, crimping, punching and sorting the facile fingers of wotnen ure luund to be not only the cheapest but the most expert. Millions upon millions of paper collars, of all sizes, styles and descriptions are inade anoually in this clly, The capital employod is very large, und it 1 ostimated that nearly 4,000 fomale hands of ull ages aro employed by the vari- ous companies and firms, Paper box making iw also a leading industry tor female labor. It 18 won- gortul how wide the range of this manufacture is im size and description. }rom the little pill box so oftem seen in drug siores to the coarse straw box for hate these women make A MULTIPARIOUS CATALOGUE of paper boxes. boxes for gloves, boxes for pencils, for spouls, for walers, for candy, for glassware, 1oF bottles, ull are made by women, | Boxes tor the’ dry goods trade form a leadsng line in this description of goods, and the wholesale houses use almost every sort end size, Little tut draw boxes, oblong, square, rouud, horseshoe and tancy boxes are inade by the thous1 | and used to puck up buttony, pins, suspenders, laces, gloves, notious, ucedles, hosiery, lingerie and the thousand-and-one urticles that go to make up the huge stocks in trade known as dry goods. Tho fur desiere also une puper bexes to a lurge exient, und all of these are made expressly tur that trade, belng of peculiar shape and size. Fiat, triangular boxes tor collura, and drams, with side drawers for mufls and cutfs, are found im this branch of the business. Indeed, 1 t# aiticult to tind any branch of manufacture that doee nut need paper boxes, Weaving on patent looms is also a leading judustry in this city, and on these are ‘3, tape, gimp and other hght deseriptions of woven goods, Sewing machine worl 1s, perhaps, the mest extensive line of employment, owing to the that the workwomen can perlorm their labor at home, But it is the worst paid and most unsutisfactory labor that talls to the lot of women. n+ deed, it Would surprixe the readers of tho HanaLp to kuow how poorly paid aro these sowing women, A child’s suit, made of linen or Marseilles, 18 1requently ade by two difterent sets of hands. Geimg cut out ab the factory by the dozen tho pieces are given out to the embroiderer of braider, a8 the case may be, who proceeds ament the goods according to the des siyn stamped. or thisembroidering the women seldom receive more thau one cent per yard, and were it nos for the sewing machines this class of work would nos afford even the poor wages earned. To embruider a chila’s dress as described it sometimes requires bad a day, and then the pattern 13 ouly a simple one Thue it Will be seen that an entire week 1s often required ta emoroider the dozen suits obtained, the average rate of remuneration bemg from $5 to $15 per week. Have ing been embroidered the sets pass ite tue hands of the sewer, who usually receives from twenty-fve to itty cents per suit, the weekly average of wages being trom $5 to $10, Feathor making, a8 it {8 called, is aiso a business for which women are adapted.
