The paper has been running a little more than one year and a half, and there is no question but that it tries to make peo pie believe they must subscribe for the Itani’s Horn or they are not Christians.

Six months ago this paper begged for some one to tell what there is in an path anyhow. Some one of the sub-editors of the Albion New Era, says in the last edition of that paper: “Owing to illness, confining him to the house most of the time, the editor has been able to give but litle personal attention to the paper this week.” Make him believe bis health is failing. and try and keep him in the open - ’ tiir as much as possible.

■ ■ i A miracle is the taking place of j something which man is pleased to; describe as an incident occurring con- ! trary to what he calls the laws of nature, for if it were not contrary to that law it would be no miracle. But to justify ourselves in saying that that in-, cident, or to ns, miraculous something ' is a miracle, we must assume to know the full extent of the laws of nature. To the child mapy things seem like miracles, astonishing, and the same may truthfully be said of grown up people, some looking upon certain phenomena as truly miraculous w’hile those who understand the law of nature governing those phenomena are in no w’ay disturbed by them. Hence, what might be called a miracle by one individual would be as simple as a b c to another, apd so on thvoukk&ui' ‘■ke . tire catalogue of whatever % has been imposed upon the credulous as miracle. Electricity and magnetism explain many miraculous things, miraculous things, miracles to those not understanding them. The act of restoring one to life, who is to appearance dead, would suggest the miraculous, and does to some today, were it not for the fact that animation may be suspended for quite a time without being extinct. Hence, to those fully understanding the difference between a person dead and one lying in a state of temporary suspended animation, the I raising of the dead— so called —is no miracle. There are many, without question, very simple things that appear to the writer as quite miraculous to-day, which, we are sure are not miracles, only as far as we are illiterate in reference to the law of nature governing them . However, many things that were one day miracles to us are now clear and simple as twice two. Wehave no faith in the truth of the existence of miracles as they are generally understood. Everything is a miracle, and yet there are no miracles. A । mountain of sand is no greater miracle than one grain of it; an elephant no greater than a mite, and yet the elephant is looked upon by some as the greater miracle. To the Almighty, one is as great as the other. SORGHUM! Bring on your cans. lam now prepared to make sorghum molasses. - b. A. Ullery.
