JJA1,UWI, Chairman, (i W. I'ahthidok, Secretary pro tern. Dated Detroit, Juno 7. 1882. ' it t -itel and Chained. We take the following from the Cler mout (0.) Courier, as being of interest to many readers; of the Tribune, Mr Thomnson beine well known here, and as beinsr of soecial interest at this time In view of the fact that he is expected here next week to take charge of an in dependent church organization. The occasion was an immense grove meet incr held a week aeo last Sunday, and was attended by 8,000 people: In the afternoon the Rer. R. M Thompson addressed the vast assembly and for more than an hour held them spell-bound under the silvery eloquence of his gifted tongue. It was among the last of his discourses to be preached in Clermont county. Mr. Thompson, thouarh young, speaks with the expen ence of vears. and in a manner so at tractive, and an eloquence so impressive as to enchain the attention and win tne hearts of his audience. He is making ranid strides in a career that leads ever upward. A SURPRISE. At the conclusion of his sermon plesant surprise awaited the clergyman and the ereater portion of his audience. It came in the shape of a magnificent 014 watch and chain, the gift of the members of his fiock, and was presented to him in the presence of the people in a speech so neat and happily-adapted to the occasion, so eloquent, generous and manly that we reproduce it in full. JUDGE BRAUNAUtJH SAID. Brother Thompson: It may appear to you and this large and intelligent audience somewhat unwonted that I should now and upon this occasion, beg your attention but for a few moments. I have been selected, and am here as the representative of yotr neighbors and many friends in Clermont county who have associated with you intimately many years, who know you well, and who are pleased to signify to the world the profound regard, high esteem, and ardent love which they have for you. Their fond hopes of continued associa tion with you iu the future have been sadly disappointed by the unwelcome in telligence that you are called, and ere long will go to other and new fields of labor, but they are unwilling that you shall depart from among them until you have received from them some testi monial of their appreciation of your merit, your zeal, and indefatigable "and successful labors in the cause of Chris tianity, of yourself as a Christian, a citizen, a neighbor, a friend, a man. Permit me to repeat, I stand here as the representative of your numerous and loving friends, who are fervently and ardently attached to you. Friends did I say? Brother Thompson, as is said by an other, friendship is the sweetest and most satisfactory connection in life. It has notable effect upon all states and conditions. It reliaves our cares, raises our hopes, and abalos our fears. Friend ship improves happiness, and allays misery by doubling our joys and divid ing our griefs. It is a sweet attraction of the heart toward the merit we esteem or tne perioction we aomire, and pro duces a mutual inclination between two or more persons to promote each other's interest, knowledge, virtue, and happiness. Brother Thompson, true friendship is everlasting. Its cord is never broken, its tie is never severed. "old friends! What a multitude of deep and varied emotions are called up from the soul by tlio utterance of these two fond words what througiug memories of other days crowd the brain when they are spoken Oh! There is magic in their sound and the spell it evokes is both sad and pleas ing. When reverie brings before us in quick succession the scenes of by-gone years, how do the features of old friends, dim and shadowy as the grave in which many or them are laid, Hit before us 1 he thoughts which fill the mind when thus musing on the past are always of a cnasieneii una. mm, mother Thompson, i nave perrormed the very agreeable and pleasant duty assigned and delegated to me by yonr tnends and must close In conclusion, allow me to express the I sincero wisn or your friends, as well as oi myseir, mat wnerever in the tuiure vou may go, wherever you may be, and whatever duty you may be called upon to perform, that good health, prosperity, success ami tne blessing of (iod may at tend you. To these remarks Mr. Thompson re plied feelingly and touchingly, sensibly affected at the beautiful tribute so grace fully presented, and his reply was fram ed in the tender and loving words a grateful heart would prompt. Choice Fxtracta. Better that life be a short self-sacrifice than a long self-seeking. The greatest victories and the sweet est enjoyments are reached through suffering. An humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search af ter learning. Tears on the cheek of a repentant soul are more precious in the eyes of (iod than the pearls in the diadems that an gels wear. To rejoice in another's prosperity is to give content to your own; to mitigate another's grief is to alleviate or dispel your own. It is hard sometimes to speak a kind word to others when the shadows rest on your own heart, but nothing will tend more to lighten your own cares than the effort to help another. Men may close their eyes to the evi dences of the truth of the New Testa ment and remain in voluntary darkness and blindness, but the evidences exist attested by unimpeachable witnesses in BDarxa it was a law that men should worship the gods with as little expense as possible. There are already enrolled on the church books of the nited States enough such Spartans to make three thousand new Thermopylae. IN o grace is more necessary to the Christian worker than fidelity; the hum bie grace that. marches on in sunshin and storm, when no banners are waving and there is no music to cheer tho wea ry feet. I would spend my latest breath in pleading that every man, however hum bie or destitute or unworthy ho may seem to be, should be treated with con sideratiou as a human being, in thospir it of philanthropy and most holy Chris tiamty. A sermon that is to accomplish an end and to be worth lstemng to must em body real thoughts, thoughts that have some connection with the issues and in terestsof life, and must be instinct with the living convictions of the preacher o he such a sermon, it must come from the preacher s mind and warm heart with tho very life-blood of his soul at the moment of its delivery.

Thompson by his many friends in Clermont county, Ohio, July lfi, 1882." Accept it, Brother Thompson, as a gift from true and loying hearts, and when, in the future, you shall have occasion to look upon its face to observe the time of the day may you be reminded that the day in ancient times was divided by a certain designated class of peo ple into three equal parts, eight hours of which were devoted to labor, eight hours to aefreshment and iloep, and eight hours to the service and worship of God an example worthy to be im itated by all Christian people. You will fierhaps be remined that time is fleet ng that infancy, childhood, the prime of life, and old age wither as rapidly as they crowd upon each other. And again while looking upon the face of this beau tiful gift, may you be reminded of the faces of old associates old friends in Clermont county. As was observed by another Young Love lirt iim. They are young married peoplo and have just gone to housekeeping, and the neighbors who assembled at their front windows to witness tho harrowing sight of their parting for the day declare that le following is a verbatim account of their conversation: "(rood-by, Charley, now be careful the treet cars don't run off the track with you ana ras mo, unariey tnere was something I wanted to tell you let me see. Was it hair-pins? No, 1 got them w-h-a-t could it have been?" "I'm due at the office, pet" says Char ley, bracing up and looking very hand some and manly; "was it something to eat?" "Why, of course it was; there isn't a bit of mashed potatoes iu the house, nor a mouthful of bread and butter. We want half a yard of beef steak see and have it cut bias, so it will be tender and a loaf of sweet bread, Charley, and a strawberry snort-cake, dear, and and anything elso you think of dear." "Rut, my little wife," says Charley, looking very wise, ."these little things must ail be ruaoo before wo can eat them." "Must they? oh dear, and I never learned to do fancy work! I never cro cheted a biscuit flt to eat, and I couldn't paint a tomato to save my life. Oh, Charley, go to tho ready-made store, do, there's a darling!" He did; and they had a picturesque meal of lobster and strawberries, with baker's rusk and lemonade, but Charley has written to his mother to come at once and make them a long visit; they can make it pleasant for Tier now, he says. Detroit Post. Prayer. Prayer Is and always remains a native and deepest impulse of the soul of man; and, correctly gone about is of the very highest benefit (nay, one might sayin (lisnensible)to every man aiming moral ly high in this world. No doubt, no religion or, at least, only a dumb and lame game. Prayer is a turning of one's soul in heroic reveranco in infinite de sire and endevor, towards the Highest, the All-excelent, Omnitent, Supreme Praver is the aspiration of poor, strug gling, heavy-laden soul toward Jits Eternal Father. Loyal sons and subjects can approach the King's throne, who have no "request" to make except that they may continue loyal. Cannot they? -Thoma$ Carlylc. IfcTotice.
