TUESDAY EVENING, DEC. 21.
New England Indifference.?Says the 1
Go'ideo Kale: "The fact id Boston and New j
Eoglaud are already io the majority of their :
population, non-churchgoiog. The Church,aud
heoce the VVord of God, is fast ceasiDg to be
a power over the popular thought and consci
ence. The average man and woman cares lit
tle for either. They neither attend the ser
vices of the oae nor read the other, as a rule.
In short, it amounts to ja^t this : Young New
England is growiug up Bibleless. That worst
phase of skepticism is beiug reached?univer
sal and good uatured carelessuess touching re
ligious claims and toacuings. The skepticism,
mark you, is home-bred. The "scientists" have
nothing t > do with it. Its parents arc here, its
home is here; here, too, it is oursed. . Its
mother is bigotry and .-t ffoe.-s aud coldness in
the administration of our churches. Its taiher
is dry aud stupid proaching. The Church has*
as it were, turned against herself, and by her
own errors aud weakness lo*t her hold on the
popular heart and the popular imagination.
The hopeful sign, the one bright beam that
peoetrates, with it> golden shalt the very cen
tre of the black cloud is?that the Church her
self is getting alarmed.
A WortD to Boys.?VV ho is respected ? It
is the boy who conduets himself well; who is 1
honest, diligent and obedient in ail things. It
is the boy who is making an effort continually
to respect his father, and obey him in what
ever he may direct to be done. It is the boy
who is kind to other little boys, who respects
age, and who never gets into d.ffioulties and
quarreis with his companions, it is the boy
who leaves no effort untried to improve him
self in knowledge and wisdom every day ; who
is busy and active in endeavoring to do good
acts towards others. Show me a boy who
obey? his parents, who is diligent, who has re
spect for age, who always has a friendly dispo
sition and who applies himself diligently to get
wisdom aod to do good towards others, and if
he is not respected and beloved by every one,
then there is no.such thing as truth in the
world. Remember this, little boys, and you
will be respected by f>thers, aud you will grow
up and become useful men.
Advantages 'of Women.?It has become
such a chronic habit in women to cry out
against their disadvantages that they forget
that they inherit also a tew real advantages,
and, what is worse, forget to use them. Sup
pose every unoccupied woman casting about
for "a sphere," should ask herself this ques
tion aod answer it in her own life, and in the
lives which late has interlapped with hers:
"Have I done the most io my p;wer for every
human being who is influenced by me? If
not, I will do it."' Would her life not instantly
take on new dignity, sweetness, and power?
Few are the women who really realize how
much they have to do with the making and
unmaking of the meD associated with their
life, who are moved aod moulded through con
tact with their individual character and influ
ence.
