Trying to divert my mind from my misfortunes, I fixed my eyes on an ant that was carrying a grain of wheat bigger than itself up a high wall. I counted the efforts it made to accomplish its object. The grain of wheat fell to the ground sixty- nine times,;" *T)uL the ITtCIe insect' persevered, and the seventieth time it succeeded, and reached the top of the wall. This sight gave me courage at that time, when I greatly needed it, and I never forgot the lesson it taught me.” And this is a lesson we all need to learn as we go on with the “journey of life.” And if we only have the confidence, the courage, and the perseverance, of which we have now spoken, as we go on with the “journey of life,” our struggle will be sure to end in success. Let us all l>e sure to get these three things, and then it will be well with us.— Southern Churchnvm. We have received from the pub lisher, John Burns, St. Louis, Mo., a little tract of 38 pages entitled " The Church of Christ in Kansas, by S. T. Dodd, of Topeka, Kansas/’ Bro. Burns has done a good mech anical job, as he always does; but when this is said of the pamphlet it is aliout all said. To give our readers some idea of the nature and trustworthiness of this historic sketch it is only necessary to cite one example. While speaking of the several efforts to start a paper in the State he says: “ The third attempt was made January 1, 1881, by J. M. Shepherd, who moved The Faithful Witness from Fayette ville, Ark. to Topeka, Kan. from whence it has been issued regularly about the first of every month since. * * ♦ While J. M. Shepherd is proprietor we believe and editor also, he has been aided by J. F. Floyd, A. H. Mülkey and B. IL Smith.” Now how does this read in the face of the following facts ? From the day the Witness was established in Arkansas till it was taken to Topeka, (near two years) the name of the firm stood as follows: “ J. F. Floyd and J. M. Shepherd, Editors and Proprietors,” etc. Then for one year after it was first issued from Topeka the firm stood without change. From that day till the time Dr. Dodd wrote his pamphlet he was frequently in the office and in full possession of r We^uppose-.lJui _re,st of; -— the tract will compare favorably with this paragraph. It is simply the cap sheaf of one of Bro. Dodd’s egotistical exploits to which “ the l>r.” is subject, and hence an effort to supply without a demand. It * will hardly work a revolution even in the brotherhood of Kansas ! Ad dress John Bums, St. Louis, Mo. Last week we were so crowded with other matters that we did not get to pay our respects to the reply of the Pacifc Christian Advocate. This week we can not put our hand on that number of the paper, and hence we must write from mamory. We have fully convicted the Advo cate of misrepresenting us, and asked him to correct. But he evades the matter by seeking to raise side issues. We will attend to these also. 1, We had stated that the Scrip tures require the Lord’s table weekly, and that Christ commanded immersion, whereas the Methodist church had substituted sprinkling and pouring for this act. In an swer to this he called for the chap ters and verses ■ where thy “ re quirements ” and “ commands ” are found. In proof of weekly com munion J we pointed him to Acts 20: 7, compared with 1 Cor. 11: 20, and’ 16.; 2. Also to church history and the teaching of John Wesley. We then asked, (1) Does the Advocate deny that the primitive Christians were ac customed to commune weekly ? (2) Is weekly communion Scrips f 4 Mi * V. ( •
