NAUGHTY GIRLS

Last Sunday

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES.

The sermon of Rev. Thomas Bacon, at the Congregational church last Sunday morning, has beea so fully noticed and reported by the city papers that further comment is almost superfluous, but it was so different from the ordinary diacuurae thai it Is nearly impossible to pasa it by. One of the beauties of Mr. Bacon's cermonfc is that they are so clear, logical and systematic. He doea not take a text as a mere matter bf form and, at the close, leave his hearers of the opinion that toy other text would have suitAd tike sermon |bst aa wall. Be name loses sight 'of (be central idea, and all minor points are but radiaiiona from a common centre. Ho carries you with him by the force of his logic, and conviucea you by the correctness of his conclusions. This concise, systematic arrangement is only possible in written sermons, and is, in itself, a sufficient argument in their favor, yet we can all rcniembor when there Was a strong senIt mont against minister* writing their sermons, and even now we occasionally And a narrow-minded, old fashioned individual who insists that the minister shall be struck with inspiration just as he. opens the Bible and ahall treat bis hearers to a rambling, irregular discourse as long as the inspired fit lasts and the congregation can keep awake. Inspiration Is like lightning, it is very uncertain where and when it will strike, but faithful study is an excellent aubstitute. Tho one may produce a fine sermon, the other is sure to do ao and this brings us back to our subject.

The moet striking point which Mr. Bacon made, was bis disbelief in the infallibility of the Scrlfituree, or, in other words, "though they may be inspired we are not Inspired to interpret them." We have been taught eo many years, against our judgment, that the Scriptures were Inspired and infallible, that when a minister of high standing says, "The great, the momentoua question is not whether the 8crlpture la inspired or whether it is lb fallible, but whether it is a reasonably authentic history oft his people whom God had set for a sign in the earth," It cornea to us like a voice from heaven and we ffcel glad that the day la approaching and is near at hand when common sense will reign In the pulpit, and people who will not be led by blind faith and can not believe what ia plainly abaurd and improbable will no longer be called atheists and Infidels, put outidde the pale of the church and denied fellowship with so-called Christiana. Another equally interesting point made by Mr. Bacon was that it ia not necesssary to search the Scriptures to find eternal life. "Eternal life ts not in the Scripture*. Eterual life la too large a thing to be shot within the covers of a book." We used to read In the Bible "Search the Scriptures" but the revised edition, by the Introduction of one small word has completely changed the meaning of the text and from a command, "Search the Scriptures," it is turned Into a reproach. "IV search the Scriptures because in them y* think ye hare eternal life and ye will not come to me that ye might have life." O, bow many sermons have been prcached from this text, exhorting, entreating, imploring people to search the Scriptures, for In then, and them enly, was to be found thefiti eternal.

afternoon a couple of well

dressed young women of respectable appearance made a show of themselves in the south end. They were in company with a couple of brassy drummers, and the entire party was under the influence of liquor. Of late years it has become the custom with a certain class of young women of this city to cultivate a taste for intoxicating liquors. To assist them in their work some saloons have accommodations for them, to which they can resort of evenings when their work is completed. Back doors are invitingly open, and the patrons are numerous. A stand on any of the principal Main street corners and good evening will reveal many who fly around corners and disappear in an alley where a convenient back door is to be found. To the list of female imbibers is also to be added a class of young girls thirteen to fifteen years of age, in short dresses, who are to be found on the streets every night in the week. They are always ready for a flirtation, and are often seen in confidential conversation with clerks in a corner of the store or in the mouth of an alley. It is the frequency of such scenes which causes many to say that the day is not far distant when matrimony will be a thing of the past.

TERRE HAUTE, IND., SATURDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 4,1882.

for hundreds of years we have been tattght that we must study the Scriptures morning, noon and night, to find everlasting life and thoae who were too busy for tbia must do without it or take it second hand, and now here comes this revised edition and tells us that there is a good deal shorter way than tbia, and that is to go right to the ^fountain head, and in this age of steam and electricity we want the very shortest and quickest method of doing everything, even obtaining salvation. But now, lest I should forget and grow irreverent, let as stop talking about the Bread of Life and turn our attention to another kind of bread, in other words, discuss

THB COOKING SCHOOL.

Nobody ever lectured to a more discouraging audience than that which assembled In the Baptist chapel last Monday evening to hear Mrs. Ewing, the President of tbe Chicago Cooking School. Most of tbem were hard working people, attracted by a free lecture, but too tired to enjoy it. I counted five persons near me sound asleep, but there wera'enough bright,interested faces to en courage Mrs. Ewing to proceed with her lecture which she did in the most entertaining manner. It was an old subject in anew dress. She said, "I speak for the largest liberty and the widest privilege for women. I ask for her eyery right aocorded any citizen. I believe her proper sphere is wherever she has the ability and energy to place herself, but I know of no nobler sphere than that of home." Further on she said, "It may be deemed a very little thing to trim a lamp, to make abed or prepare a meal, but the wife or mother who sees that each lamp is properly trimmed, each bed carefully made and each meal scientifically prepared, makes every nook within that household brighter for her care and efforts, an influence (oi good that widens and expands inimitably.'" I will only give one more quotation, although it is almost impossible to make selections where ah is so very excellent. "Drunkennessoften has its origin in our dally bread and the relations between tbe kitchen and the grog shop are too intimate to be disregarded. When women become aware that properly prepared food Is an important factor in the solution of tbe temperance problem and conscientiously see to it that no food is placed upon tbe table unlesis cooked in moat y—fsof janannM »4hay will b» attacking the beer shops and whiBkey saloons at a vital point." The informal talk that followed the lecture was equally interesting and full of wit as well as wisdom. The first lesson in practical cookery, bread making, was given Wednesday afternoon in—tho Baptist chapol! Why not Broad is mentioned in the Bible more than a buudred times, most of it unleavened, very poor stuff, ami it is called tbe "staff of life," and we aro told that we must not live by bread alone but by the word of Uod, and the church is a very good place to mix the two.

Well, the afternoon was rainy and muddy, but there were over fifty ladies out to take tho first lesson. All classes, as regards wealth and influence, were represented. Tbe yeast was made, the dough prepared and the rolls made and baked, all during the lesson. Antf such rolls! I tell you we lost all desire to play on tbe piano, or paiut or embroider, or write" articles for tbe paper, all we wanted was to manipulate that dough and make just such rolls as those. During the lesson the matter of fermentation brought up the subject of beer, and that naturally suggested the temperance question, aud one of the prettiest sights I have ever seen was that crowd of earnest, intelligent women listening to a Professor of Cookery as she discussed intemperance, gave statistics, etc., and all the while went right on kneading tbe light, snowy mass of dough and preparing it for the oven. The incident carried its own lesson which needs no explanation.

After four lessons In bread-making— which will include fancy rolls for parties, Graham gems, and all the various forms of bread—instruction will be given In preparing soups, meats, salads, desserts and any dish that may be desired, and it is safe to say that no lady who takes one lesson will be satisfied until she has taken the full course. Among tbe ladies in the class are some of the best cooks in the city, and one might inquire why they were seeking nut ruction, but you will always notice that tbe finest cooks are ever the most eager get new recipes and try new methods, while the poor cooks are content to plod along in the old way, and have no ambition to improve. Unhappy the man who has married one of these women!

We have bad tbe esthetic erase. We will now have tbe cooking erase, and in the latter we can feel assured of the full sympathy and support of our masculine friends. However men differ upon other

Our Breakfast Table.

Jack, #ho was watching from the window the passers, more brisk than he, exclaimed': "I'll be a miller. 1 had rather sit on a flour barrel and drive, that team of gray Normans, thau spend my time in luxurious ease in a street-ear!" "Jack Is always apostrophizing Kidders' Pereberon horses." "Well,

The Major and McEwan skirmished over politics, sneored at each other, and cracked an egg in mutual concord.

Jack talkod music, and was disposed to hum any air called for from the last opera until Derby shut him up. "Tell you what," said the Major, "talking of jnusic, I went ronnd to the chuxctotbfe dfber tfeytoMar that worthy son of an honored sire, young Bacon and as I dropped a dollar in the plate (here Jack sniffed increduously) I thought: Why don't we cultivate churchgoing as a sort of amthetic recourse."

Mrs. Welby looked pained by this free and easy suggestion, aud said so, but the Major continued: "Why not? I went into a fine room, its decorations judiciously tempered to suit my quiet ease. My eyes wandered over tbe kaleldeoscopic display of ribbous, plumes. sllkB, and fresh faces under them.-.— "Can't teach an old dog new tricks," whisperer],'Jack. "And tJ.^f what do you think that old hym.f^'iat we used to parody at school, •'jit a I can read my titl6 clear-"*« 'When shoot—" began Jack. 'Oh, dc^the* still!

"That sounds like an awful thing to say-of a man," said McEwan, who hadn't the l%ut idea of what it was. •Yea, tout it? Shall I read some more and make your hair stand up?" "The Way yotf read it Is enough to do that," sakt Derby. "Suppose you spell to yourself. It Is Umply a would-be cutfe dodge to make a vote for tbe whole ticket, but it i&a little too thin." •*n»e resnlt of it all is that Mr. Filbeck is tfee most prominent figure in Vigo politics," said McEwan.

There is one more point to be noticed before dosing. At the Cooking School those roost attentive and moat anxious to master .every detail are among our moet pronounced woman snAragists. Now we have been told that as soon as ladies get these "woman's rights notions" into their beads they will forsake tbe kitchen, |tbe nursery and the sewing machine. Tbe idea of equal rights is gaining ground every day and yet there never was a time when women took so much Interest in dressing themselves and their children, decorating their homes and mastering the science of cookery.

"Isn't he out of the way nb%—6$ won't be be if Peirce should be elected?" asked the Professor. "Tut! not a bit of it," replied Mae. "Look at this—it means votes against Peirce—that sours him, of course.* He is one man but your voter votes for Smith, and Erney, and Kay, and SteppWill they ever show any grudge because he didn't vote for Peirce. Not much! They are looking ont for No. 1, and when he 'bobs up serenely' two years hence it will be as their friend. You will admit bim, never fear. After politics is full of compromises. We are all compromisers. Once in awhile •e tire of it, and then comes a war or a great political revolution, with wreck and ruin to many. Tbe grass grows over tbe old entrenchments and we resume our compromising." "Then yen don't believe in political honesty, Mac said the Professor. "Just as much as you do. Everything is houest that helps me, and dishonest that helps you. That is tbe keynote to the stump-speaker's 'greatest effort of bis life.'" "Then you think that Mr. Fllbeck and the soldiers and tbe Collector and all will be a band of brothers sgain 'Yes, they will meet some day. The disappointed ones will say, 'Well, boys, we tried to beat you, bot didn't. Who shall we put up for Congress in '84,'and they'll take a drink and prepare to lay the bottom rail of anew fence."

The Major, with a grim smile, said: "Will wo, indeed? You'll see. I believe in obedience to the party, or ruiO to the rebels." And the whole party sat down on him and shut him up and ran him off as a relic handed down by Jackson,

Happiness is not confined to any sphere of life. Tbe most perfect characters have tbeir flaws. ^Do you never look at yourself when you abuse another person.

is to know whstoughttobe done. Those who are strictest with tbemIves are generally most lenient to* otbw*.

Ia adversity it is easy to despise life h* )i truly brave who oan endure a wretohadlife.

Bvil-hearted persons are sure to put a bad construction on every thing. The most upright characters cannot escape their scrutiny.

There ia a secret pleasure in bearing ourselves praised but, on such occasion, a worthy taind will rather resolve to merit the praise than be puffed up with it.

HOT AND COLD DRINKS. toapiteof tho universal proverb that h«i*i»l*«M dsnth la cold, a writer Km "KflowleQge^asalntlfflistt'arHiST drink* are unnatural, cold drinks natural to man. Notwithstanding this dictum few people will believe it. Very hot drinks may do barm, bot cold ones will do more. Tbe effect of moderate heat upon the body is always sanitary the effect oi cold may sometimes be more comfortable, but never is entirely wholesome. Neuralgia, rheumatism, etc., are alleviated by bot applications, aggravated by cold. Hot water is found to be one of tbe best cures for dyspepsia yet discovered stimulating the blood in the stomach and directing it towards the digestive nerve centers. Weakness and disturbances in tho bowels are caused by cold liquids and moderated by bot ones. If hot drinks, like tea, cofffee and alcoholic stimulants do harm, It ia not because they are bot, but because of tbeir specific effects upon the nerves. They do more barm when they are cold, because tbe beat practically neutralises tbeir evil effects. ________________
