Editor Christian Messenger :
I see a communication in the M es
senger of March 12, 1880, from one
who calls himself Celsus, to which 1
make this rejoinder, which, of course,
I would not make, iT that communica
tion had been made according to law
and Gospel. And as Paul’s testimony
has been brought up to prove the
present course the clergy is pursuing,
I wish to make a reply and examine
that testimony a little further; and
here I will give you the text that I
examined it by, and wish you and all
ethers to do the same, viz., Paul says,
•“ Follow me as I follow Christ,” (short
text for a long sermon) which I wish
you and all .others, that is pursuing
the present course, to learn, preach
and practice accordingly. I see that
Paul’s testimony on that point is
fragmented, and that contrary to law
and gospel. The law says, you shall
give the whole truth. I admit that
thè writer gives a part of the truth,
but not the whole truth.
Paul says, “ I have preached the
Gospel to you without charge, lest I
should abuse my power in the Gos
pel.” I believe that there is none of
the ministry now that are afraid of
abusing the Gospel by making s
charge. If there is I would be happy
to make their acquaintance, or to hear
irem them through the M essenger or
any other way. This mode of picking
little bits out of testimony and leaving
the balance is what a court of law
would not allow, and this is the prac
tice of the ministry, when there could
be a thousand texts brought to show
that the writer did not intend it
should be used in the manner that it
now is used by the clergy. I don’t
say that there is one word quoted
from Scripture that is not so, but by
fragmenting, it presents the subject in
a false light, for if the demands of the
clergy in money matters was complied
with by everybody, the Protestant
countries would be as effectually
■drained of its means of support as the
«Catholic country now is, and poverty
and ignorance would be the result
But they that preach the Gospel,
Paul says, should live of ‘the Gospel,
but they are positively forbidden to
make and lay up a worldly fortune by
it. No man has a right to be in the
ministry that is greedy for filthy
lucre, or to be an officer in the church,
and all that has made, and are now
making religious divisions, are so far,
not preaching the Gospel, and ought
not be paid a cent.
• In the days of the apostles one said
he was Paul, another that he was
Appollos, another that he was Cephas,
and another that he was the Christ.
What would Paul have to say now if
he had to condemn all the divisions
that are now made in what claims to
be the church of Christ. There would
now have to be legions instead of four
as then. And what are these divisions
for ? I will say, for filthy lucre and
power.
He also says, " You shall not muzzle
the ox that treads out the com.’
This is the truth. But he did not say
that the ox should have baskets hang
ing on his horns, to receive and carry’
■off the wealth of the nation, or all that
the people could be persuaded to put
into it, to be divided with the
originators of the scheme (Missionary
Board).
As I have begun on a text quoted
from Paul, I will close on another text
from Paul, to-wit : " Mark them that
make divisions and effences contrary
to the Gospel you have been taught,
and avoid them, for they that are such
serve not our Cord Jesus Christ, but
their own belly, and by fair speeches
deceive the hearts of the simple.
I
am a little of the opinion that some
of the learned clergy don’t know what
the church of Christ is composed of
here on earth, for they all claim to be
the church of Christ, and yet con
demn each other.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted.
A aron P ayne

H arper ’ s M agazine for April,1880.—The
April Number of Harper's Magazine is
rendered exceedingly attractive by its
many beautiful illustrations, and every
article in its table of contents is notewor
thy. The Number opens with the first
part of Mrs. John Lillie’s paper, “ Music
and Musicians in England ”—a well-con
sidered and exceedingly interesting review
of a musical year in London, including
also the great annual and triennial festivals
in the provinces. The illustrations are
mainly portraits, and among these we note
a superb engraving of L. Alma Tadema's
recent portrait of George Henschel. Mr.
Abbey has added some characteristic
sketches. This paper, which will be con
cluded in the May Number, is we under
stand, the first of a series of contributions
by Mr. and Mrs. Lillie on English subjects
of literary, historical, and picturesque in
terest, to be illustrated by Abbey.
The rural charms of Chester Valley,
Pennsylvania, and the associations af Val
ley Forge are the theme of an excellent
paper by Mrs. Ella Rodman Church, with
remarkably fine illnstrat'ons by Howard
Pyle.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, as described by
Ernest Ingersoll, and illustrated by J.
Harrison Mills, is a subject of intense in
terest, with a thrilling history, and full of
antique pictures.

The Upper or Swiss Rhine—seldom vis

struggle she passed from the pains of
earth to her heavenly home, firm in the
faith of a peaceful immortality.

The Christmas Sheaf.
There ia a pretty and curious custom in
Norway. A pole is fastened up over the
door of the barns and farm-houses, and on
the top is tied a little sheaf of wheat. A
traveler was for a long time puzzled to un
derstand what it could mean. He did not
know the language well enough to under
stand the answers of the peasants*when he
asked them abont the sheaf, so he had
made up his mind that the little sheaf of
corn must be an offering set out for the
use of Nigel, or one of the spirits of wind,
water or storm, whom the peasants of Nor
way more .than half believe. Bnt he was
wrong.
One day ho fell in with a kind old Nor
wegian gentleman, who stopped at the
same farm house, and who spoke English.
He asked him the meaning of those mys
terious sheaves of corn. He laughed
heartily at the traveler's guesses, and then
told him the littls sheaves were put ont at
Christmas-time evervyear, " that the birds
might have a merry Christmas.” Everv
