"There is no truth in the statement. It mny be that certain persons have boasted that they can make any changes in the bureau offices in this department that they please. But they can't do it while I am here. That is quite certain. The report that

FAITH CUBE.
How endless are discussions of what we know least of, and what disagreement between doctors of divinity as to the power of faith and the probability of miracles. Hard worldly sense and ordinary practical knowledge are not accepted as competent to deal with spiritual questions. The fact that lately reported miracles strike the average intelligence as anchronistic may have nothing to do with their probability. It is also true that no arguments can be presented pro or con which have no rebuttal. For instance, th® one Bide argues that faith and blessed water cure chronic diseases, natural deformities and other ills beyond medical treatment, because what was done bv God in the year One, can be done in A. D. 1883. What was possible once may be possible again, but what was necessary once may never be so again. Why were miracles performed, admmitting them to have occurred, by Christ and his apostles? There iB no escaping the answer, to establish the divine inspiration of anew revelation, to Becure the faith of an ignorant people in anew dispensation. In an era which is dominated by the Christian religion, in which the faith advances in more than arithmetical progression, it seems like cowardly weakness to bolster up an accepted fact by dutious evidence. If it be claimed the same necessity does exist, consider the remarkable difference between the character of the miracles that influenced an ignorant age and the pseudo miracles published to influence this enlightened era. The first were always where they would do the most good at th© great center of Jerusalem, at the gates of Jericho, before multitudes, the rulers or the church, or in situations calculated to secure wide celebrity and usually of a chaeacter above quibbles or explanation except by supernatural power. In modern times miracles are always small affairs, often obscure, remote, or to be explained away. Consider the characters. The reputation of the early saints was such for spirituality, purity and power that the lew miracle-workers were raised above the world. What are the lives of the modern imitators? Where are the praying bands who secured miracles a few years ago The healed and heelers are alike forgotten and powerless.
The modern objector, however, makes a mistake in demanding that the miracles be continuous and regular. It does seem that the accidental happening of a miracle, increases its wonder, and presents a weak reliance upon miraculous help, lvegular miracles would, in time, Lc r.-varded as natural causes. If the miracles cannot be claimed as necessary for the Bapport of the Christian religion, their very occasional occurrences la lees of flaercy than cre$ caprice. If tor rowcyy'

Tliis miracle-working power is claimed by the ancient church and modern dissenters, orthodox calomists and irregular, sensational revivalists. The belief rests upon, what may be called the greatest weakness of mankind— thatcredulity as to healing— that ignorance of physical laws. The most successful of all deceivers is the medical quack. The most deceiving and deceived is the ignorant practitioner, who knows neither his ignorance nor the harm he does.
Tbe preaching of all modern supernaturalists seems both unnecessary and mischievous. No modern miracle ailds to tho exalted ideal of the Messiah nire«

VOICE OP TEE PEOPLE.
Vigo County Igrioaltarai Society. To the Editor of the Express. Sir: At the meeting ot the board of directors, yesterday afternoon, a resolution was offered by Mr. McKeen and passed, appointing a committee to memorialise the board of commissioners of Vigo county in regard to the present condition of the buildings and fences on the fair ground, and tbe short duration of the present lease, and asking that the board extend the present lease or grant a new one to the company under such conditions as might be conducive to the good of the society and to the citizens at large.
It Is a well known fact that the fairs held by this society have been gradually growing of less Interest lo the people at large in comparison with the increase of our population and woaltli. Farmers, stockmen, breeders, mechanics, merchants, millers, and tbe industrial portion of our community have, to a great extent, lost interest in our Vigo Fair, aud though nothing disparaging can be said of the management of our former board of directors, yet when'the bone and sinew of the county Ignore our fairs we must know that a radical change must be made in the way of conducting them. Now, first in order, the bulldiDgs on the ground should consist of good substantial material, stables dry and roomy, the different hails made of brick and consolidated, a power hall to display aud work machinery erected, additional amphitheatres built and anew fence around the whole grounds is necessary. A street railway should run from the centre of the city to tbe grounds. Tbe grove should be cleaned up, windmills erected so as to furnish water for severals fountains. Hogs, horses and cows should be kept off, a decent boarding house or hotel put up. The track be kept In order continually, and further have it understood that no charge ever be made for the use of the grounds by any church society, 4tli of July celebration, picnic or any other lawful assembly of persons.

"An Ideal Friendship" the SufcjMt of the Bundsy School Lowon for To-d»V.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
IiMson for December 9—Sabjeefa Aa Ideal Friendship.—I. taasl., is, S3-4*. In the last lesson we had an example of the littleness that accompanies all envy and jealousy. King Saul could not bear to see any one greater, in the eyes of the people than himself, and when they honored David for his courage in fighting and dlfeating Goliath, the king would haVe killed him, such was his jealousy of a mere boy. In thiB lesson we have an example of that true friendship so rarely found which suites men in a bond closer than that of brotherhood. Jonathan loved David Re much as his father hated him, and he wa» ready to make any sacrifice to save his friend from the fury of his father.
To go back a step in the story and take up the interesting chapters between this lesson and the last, we find Saul's jealousy had taken deep root and he was determined to put David out of the way by foul means if necessary. He first gave the young man his daughter for a wife, hoping to use her as a snare to trap David, bat the young woman fell in love with her husband and was true to him. (The king then sent David out against the Philistines, hoping that he might be slain in battle but he was brave and courageous, and returned from the wars covered with glory. The king then tried to enlist his son Jonathan against David, but the son was a true man, and therefore a true friend to the youth he had sworn to protect. The king cast his javelin at David as he played his harp in the palace. Then the faithful wife and friend turned against their father to help the young man escape. Messengers were sent out by the king to find and kill the object of his jealoasy, but Jonathan still shielded him and enabled him to escape. Bya prearranged plan of signals David was to remain concealed in the fields until Jonathan should inform him of the mood of the £ing. If Saul, when he missed his son-in-law, should show any regret, David was to be notified and return, bat if he was angry and still determined upon violence, David should be warned to flee and escape. The first day his absence was not noticed. The second day the king made inquiry after him, and in an outburst of anger demanded that the young man should be brought before him for he should surely die. It was then that Jonathan went to the field with the lad and shot the three arrows which were to be the signal. If he told the boy who ran after the arrows to go the right, David should know that he was to return. When he told the boy to look for the arrow beyond where he was, David should accept that as his warning to make his escape. Make haste speed stay not it was more to David than to the lad.
Here, then, we see true friendship, which was ready to make sacrifices. Jonathan formed an attachment for tho man who was to supplant him on his father's throne, yet ne allowed not that to influence his friendship. He loved David more than he loved power and: wealth, and not even the throne would tempt him to be falBe to his friend.
A friend loveth at all times. The friend who, when we are in trouble joins our enemies or dven our critics, is no true friend. The friend who will even turn away and leave us to work our own way out of trouble, even our own" sins', not ul£ friend. He only knows tbe meaning of friendship who lov^s at all times, and who is nearest in time of direst need. When the prodigal is wasting his substance in riotous living, he always has plenty of companions to help him, but when he comes to the husks of want, they desert him. Such area libel on the name of friend.
True friendship is a rare thing^but it is found, and whoever has tine friend is generally blessed. True friendship ia based on character, and it is proof against sacrifice and reverses of fortune. Such friendship is often found among women. The wife will forget everything wrongs, shame, and danger, for the man_ she loves. Her's is nearer that friendship of Christ, who is the perfect friend. He is the friend who sticketh closer than a brother.

No oilier comilaiiitc are so insidious in their ailitck £stlio£e affecting the throat aud lungs: none so trifled with by the majority of sufferers. The ordinary cough or cold, rosultftig perhaps from a trifling or unconscious exposure, is often but the beginning of a fatal sickness.

A Terrible Cough Cured.
"In 18571 took a severe cold, which affected my lungs. I had a terriblecough,andpassed nlyht after night without sleep. The doctors gave me up. 1 tried Ayer's Cherry Peo toral, which relieved my lungs, induced sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary for tue recovery of my strength. By the continued use of the Pixtoral a permanent cure was effected. 1 am now 61! years old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied your Cuerry Pectoral saved me.

While in the country last winter my little boy, three years old, was taken 111 with croup It seemed as if he would die from Btrangulation. One of the family suggested this use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, a bottle of which was always kept in the house. This was tried in small and frequent doses, and to our delight in less than half an hour the little patient was breathing easily. Tbe doetor said that this Cherry Pectoral had saved niy darling's life. Can you wonder at ,lt Sincerely yours,
