Earlier text: The Two CovenantsMANY people have the habit of eating apples and other fruits without removing the outer skin. Sometimes this is done with the idea that this is the more healthful way. This is certainly an error. The outer covering of most fruits is of a woody, indigestible nature, and hence of no use as an aliment. In many cases it is a mechanical irritant, if not injurious in any other way. But it can be shown that the eating of the skins of fruits, especially of apples, is often decidedly dangerous. Dr. Tsohamer, of Graz, has discovered that the black specks which are often seen on apples and oranges are clusters of fungous growths. They are of a character similar to those which give rise to diphtheria. Dr. T. scraped from an orange some of these black specks and inhaled them. In the course of a week the unpleasant symptoms first experienced had developed into genuine whooping-cough, which led him to believe that this is one of the causes of that disease. Whether the conclusion be correct or not, it is pretty certain that fungi ought not to be eaten, and so fruit skins should be discarded. —Good Health. An Appeal from a Lady to the Gentlemen
By Lill
To the Editor of the Chronicle—Sir: My curiosity, the curiosity of a woman, is aroused. Will you or some of your scientifically inclined readers try to satisfy it? I have sought in vain and must have help. I am recently from an interior city. There tobacco-juice and swearing were a never-ending source of trouble on the streets. In the house—whether that house was public or private—we were comparatively free from either nuisance. On coming here the infrequency of profane language and tobacco-juice on the street was a source of surprise and pleasure to me, but I find that no place of amusement or of instruction, not even a private parlor, is sacred from the invasion of tobacco, and ladies in public business have assured me they are obliged to cover the center of their carpets to save them from the greatest enemy of neatness and cleanliness known to woman. Why, a year-old baby with a cup of syrup and teaspoon will not injure a parlor worse in half an hour than will a man with ten cents' worth of tobacco. Why can't they use it in their offices, work-rooms, saloons, etc., and keep it out of our way? That's what we want to know! If you must be dirty, gentlemen, please don't make us suffer at home and abroad for your ill taste. FOR A FIT OF PASSION.—Walk out in the open air. You may speak your mind to the winds without hurting any one, or proclaiming yourself to be a simpleton. “Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry, for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.” FOR A FIT OF IDLENESS.—Count the tickings of a clock. Do this for one hour, and you will be glad to pull off your coat the next, and work like a man. “Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.” FOR A FIT OF EXTRAVAGANCE AND FOLLY.—Go to the workhouse, or speak with the ragged and wretched inmates of a jail, and you will be convinced Who makes his bread of briar and thorn
Must be content to lie forlorn.
“Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfieth not?” FOR A FIT OF AMBITION.—Go to the churchyard and read the gravestones. They will tell you the end of man at his best estate. “For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time and then vanisheth away.” “Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.” FOR A FIT OF REPINING.—Look about for the halt and the blind, and visit the bedridden, the afflicted, and the deranged, and they will make you ashamed of complaining of your light afflictions. “Wherefore doth a living man complain?” FOR A FIT OF ENVY.—Go and see how many who keep their carriages are afflicted with rheumatism, gout, and dropsy; how many walk abroad on crutches or stay at home wrapped up in a flannel, and how many are subject to epilepsy and apoplexy. “A sound heart is the life of the flesh. Envy is the rottenness of the bones.” Religious News and Notes.

The Catholic Mirror closes an earnest appeal in behalf of the pope with the declaration that he is not only "poor and aged," but that he is "in a prison in Rome." —It is proposed to abolish the office of chaplain in both branches of the Massachusetts Legislature; the salary which is $800, having become a source of contention. —Charles Demond, Treasurer of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, has resigned by request of the executive committee, for making unauthorized use of the funds. —The Methodist Recorder says that "the love of some members for tobacco is stronger than their love for the Methodist Protestant church." Poor sort of Christians, such nicotine Christians, we should say! —The Second Baptist Church of St Louis was destroyed by fire a week ago, and in a few days the rabbi of the Hebrew Tabernacle offered the pastor of the church the use of that edifice for a place of worship on Sunday. —The statement is put forth that Archbishop Purcell's indebtedness on account of his trust funds is so great that it is feared that "not even the entire property of the church in the diocese will be sufficient to meet the demands." —This prayer was found in the late Doctor Bethune's Bible at the time of his death: "Lord, pardon what I have been; sanctify what I am, and order what I shall be, that Thine may be, and mine the eternal salvation." —A Catholic priest in San Francisco advises the formation of another party—a Christian party—to be composed of Catholics and Protestants united, and very suggestively asks if Catholicism and Protestantism are worse than infidelity in the public schools. —The Sunday-school assembly which is proposed to be held next June in the Yosemite Valley, is to be managed by Dr. J. H. Vincent, and is to be dedicated the first Sunday in that month. Funds are now being received for the dedication of the chapel and other expenses. —At the dedication of the Congregational church in Oakland, Dr. Benton, who has been a missionary, said, there are three missionary religions in the world, Christianity, Buddhism, and Mohamedanism, and that Buddhism is spreading faster on the African continent than Christianity. —The following query we find in the California Christian Advocate: "Should a man be licensed to preach the gospel in the M. E. Church who is able, and yet will not take any of our church papers? Don't you think he would be a little like those who still vote for General Jackson?" —The Methodist makes a good point when it says, touching those good brethren who will sing the psalms, and who won't sing uninspired hymns: "We cannot see, however, why they should preach their own sermons or make their own prayers; better sermons and prayers can be found in the Bible." —Dr. Schaff, in his "Creeds of Christendom," is of opinion that in its present complete form "the apostolic creed," can hardly be traced beyond the sixth, certainly not beyond the close of the fifth century, while its triumph over all the other forms in the Latin Church was not completed until the eighth century. —A Unitarian writes to the Christian Register: "I feel that the blight of worldliness is falling upon the ministry in general, and the Unitarian ministry in particular, because preachers, too, have commenced to go for the loaves and fishes, the chief seats in the synagogue, the comfortable places; considerations of self have come to be almost as common as the spirit of self-sacrifice." Well, the Unitarians are not alone in this. —The Rev. Dr. Morris, of the Lane Theological Seminary, propounds this conundrum: "What shall the Presbyterian church do with those of its ministers who have embraced the belief set forth in the recent Conference?" Why not turn them out of the church—and then about 1909 meet in General Assembly, and take them all back again, and have a hand-shake?—Christian at Work. —Bishop Simpson was about to begin his lecture before the Yale theological students the other day, when he was seen to pause and look for something. "Young gentlemen," he said, "I find myself in the position of the preacher who was informed by the lady that thirdly had flown out of the window." A part of his MS. was missing, and while Professor Fisher went away to search for it, the Bishop entertained his audience with a half-hour's talk on President Lincoln. Then the MS. appeared, and the lecture began. —The Missouri Lunatic Asylum at St. Joseph was burned January 25. —Four democratic United States Representatives have died within a month. —Great alarm prevails in Europe concerning the rapid spread of the black plague. —The winter continues excessively severe in Europe.

The abundance of dry material rendered the labors of the firemen unavailing. Loss about $40,000. —Governor Fremont is making himself very busy in Arizona. He goes about visiting all parts of the Territory, by personal inspection ascertaining the extent and character of its natural wealth and the immediate needs of its people. —A man in Fountain county, Indiana, was killed by a meteoric stone, January 13. The aerolite came through the roof, striking him in the breast, he being in bed. It passed through the bed, and floor, and buried itself five feet in the earth beneath. It weighed twenty pounds. —The chief of the Chinese Legation in this country was asked, it is stated, what would become of those of his countrymen who wished to live and work away from China, in case of the United States deciding not to receive them. "They will all go to Ireland," is the reply he is said to have given; "that is the only country that the Irish do not rule." —There is now in construction at Oakland, the Central Pacific Railroad, the largest steam ferry boat in the world. Length, 425 feet; width, 116; depth of hold, 18 feet. It is designed for transportation of trains across the Straits to Benicia; it will have four tracks its entire length, and will carry entire trains, locomotives and all. This route materially lessens the distance from San Francisco to Sacramento. —The jury in the case of the Brevard County, Florida, Canvassing Board for making false returns of the late Congressional election, brought in a verdict of guilty, with a recommendation to mercy. The Sheriff, a Justice of the Peace, the County Canvassing board and two Inspectors of the late election from Alachua county were arrested to-day on a charge of violation of the election laws. Much crime is also developed in the South Carolina election. —In Germany, as in our own country, it is evident that since her late war there has been a vast augmentation of crime. In Prussia alone the convictions have risen from 6,403, in 1871, to 12,807, in 1878. Assassinations, maimings, forgeries and fraudulent bankruptcies have all greatly increased. This is largely to be attributed to the more expensive mode of life and the dissipation, which have prevailed since the French indemnity flooded Germany with money. —Earl Derby made a speech in Liverpool on the 2d inst., in which he told the people there was no remedy for the present distress in England except through wholesale emigration to America and Australia. This means that the statesmen of England, looking over the whole field, realize that it is no temporary distress which has come upon their countrymen, but that the causes which have brought affairs to their present condition are steadily gaining in menace, and that England, with all her power, cannot buy food and successfully combat the terrible competition of the United States. DIED, in Fairview, Fresno County, California, of diptheria, Jan. 15, 1879, George Edwin, son of Brother George W. and Sister Nettie Hutchings, aged 2 years, 6 months, and 12 days. This, the only child of the bereft, was fair and promising in life and lovely in death. Remarks were made by the writer from Matt. 18: 2-4, showing the importance of having a part in the New Covenant work and becoming humble children of God. “He sleeps in Jesus soon to rise
When the last trump shall rend the skies ;
Then burst the fetters of the tomb.
To wake in full immortal bloom.”
R. A. MORTON. Is Faith Essential?
By Editor
The New York Independent contains the following item:— "The Jewish Reformer wants some Christian editor to answer the question, 'Does Christianity teach that all men who do not believe that Christ was Messiah will be eternally damned?' The Independent says: 'No. God is no respecter of persons; but in every nation he that feareth him and worketh righteousness is accepted with him.' Acts 10:34, 35." If the Independent is correct in its belief it has been most unfortunate in its selection of a text to prove it. Cornelius was instructed by an angel to send for Peter who would tell him what he ought to do. Peter did, indeed, tell him and his associates that the workers of righteousness in all nations are accepted with God; but he did not tell them that this acceptable righteousness could be wrought outside of faith in Christ. To the contrary, he said that "through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins." And on their believing, "he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus." Further than this, Peter elsewhere said there is salvation in no other than Jesus, and that repentance and remission of sin is granted in his name. Paul said all men everywhere are commanded to repent. And Jesus said no man cometh to the Father but by himself. We should fear to trust to the theology of the Independent on this all-important point; we think it can only tend to confirm the Jews in their rejection of Jesus as the Christ.

OAKLAND, CAL., FIFTH-DAY, JAN. 30, 1879. The permanent address of Elder J. N. Loughborough is "Stanley Cottage, Stanley Street, near Shirley Road, Freemantle, Southampton, England." The permanent post-office address of Elder B. A. Stephens is Box 445, Reno, Nevada. The much longed-for rain has at last visited California, but contrary to all precedent the weather continues cold. Ice formed in San Francisco the night of the 26th, and the hills back of Oakland are covered with snow, (28th). Brother Wood sends the following, which he cut out of the Visalia Delta, Tulare Co.,— "PORTERVILLE.—Christmas passed off pleasantly. The dinner realized over sixty dollars, it holding out abundantly for the ball supper. Sixty ball tickets were sold, at $2.50 each, all for the benefit of the Presbyterian church. The hall being small for the number in attendance, some of the boys proposed to use the church to dance in; others thought it hardly suitable." Particular Notice.

1. Do NOT direct business letters for the SIGNS to the editor. Look at the address—SIGNS OF THE TIMES. Sent to the editor there is sometimes trouble and often delay. 2. Tract Society Secretaries, agents, etc., should remember this: Never send money for any one in any case, or order a paper changed, without giving the address of the subscriber. We have just been shown a card which says: "I send $2 for J. C.," no post office given, and J. C. does not receive his paper at the same office with the person who wrote the card. Now don't write so and then complain of the office because they do not attend to your orders. We call the attention of the reader to the article in the editorial columns of this paper entitled, "Sunday Keeping—Is It of Rome?" The argument is very clear, and cannot fail to be convincing to every careful and conscientious reader. In this case we have another evidence that objections urged against our faith only serve to make the truth shine brighter. Also the article on the "Two Covenants" in this number is of unusual interest and importance. Several articles on this subject by the same writer will be given in the SIGNS, and we bespeak for them a careful and candid reading. Bro. Dickinson's Letter.
By Editor
We feel specially interested in the letter which we copy from the Oregonian, of Salem, Oregon, on the third page of this paper. Bro. Dickinson built up the first Congregational church in Salem, but retired from active service in the ministry, and was keeping a store when we became acquainted with him at the time the tent was in Salem. At that time he was much impressed with the truth, and gladly received the light on the destruction of the wicked, saying on hearing a discourse on Matt. 25:46, that it brought great relief to his mind, giving light where many things had looked dark before. We congratulate Bro. D. on his full acceptance of the truth on the holy Sabbath; and we congratulate the church in Salem on this acquisition to their ranks. May the association prove to their mutual benefit. Napa Valley Ice Crop.
By Editor
"Guess Not.— 'We are credibly informed,' says the Signs of the Times, 'that a gentleman whose ranch extends into a canyon on the west side of Napa Valley, four miles south of St. Helena, put up fifteen tons of ice on the last day of December. Had he commenced a day earlier, or had the rain held off a day, he might have secured 50 tons. This is the first ice crop of Napa Valley.' Now we venture the assertion that the Times' informant is about fifteen tons out of the way, and that neither the editor, his informant or any one else now on earth will live to see the time when fifty tons of ice can be taken from any point in the valley, and especially above Napa City."—Calistogian. "The ice spoken of last week in the Star as put up down the valley, near here, was by E. B. Smith, at Nook Farm, west of Rutherford. It formed in the reservoir in the canyon back of his place, and was four inches thick. He could easily have had 40 to 50 tons, had he place to house it, and gathered it in time. As it is he has about 15 tons put up, which will be ready for use next summer. It is nice, pure ice, and there is no joke about the story. A frozen truth."—St. Helena Star. We profess no infallibility, and are dependent for much of our news upon the daily papers. But our news columns are made up with great care, and may generally be relied upon as correct. In this instance we reported the ice yield of Napa Valley ahead of any paper in the Valley. Will the Calistogian acquit the Signs of the Times of error in the case? The Nativity
By Giles Fletcher
WHO can forget—never to be forgot—
The time that all the world in slumber lies,
When like the stars, the singing angels shot
To earth and Heaven awakened all its eyes,
To see another sun at midnight rise
On earth? was ever sight of pareil fame;
For God before man like Himself did frame,
But God Himself now like a mortal man became.
A child He was, and had not learnt to speak,
That with his word the world before did make;
His mother's arms Him bore. He was so weak,
Who with one hand the vaults of Heaven could shake.
See how small room my infant Lord doth take,
Whom a'l the world is not enough to hold!
Who of His years or of His age hath told?
Never such age so young,—never a child so old!
—Giles Fletcher, 1623. A Subterfuge.
By Raymond F. Cottrell
It is wonderful how professedly learned and pious men will resort to the most flimsy and transparent subterfuges in the support of traditional errors, and to evade the force of the most obvious truth. Not very long since, a man of learning, it would seem, and a teacher of the people, having seen it asserted in one of our publications that the first day of the week is nowhere called the Sabbath in the New Testament, felt it his duty or privilege to deny the assertion, and to undertake to prove that the first day is called the Sabbath in Matt. 28:1, which says, "In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week." It is true that the Greek word for Sabbath is in the phrase translated "the first day of the week," but it is used with a numeral signifying the first, and all well-informed persons know that the term Sabbath was used to signify the whole week. The week being bounded by the Sabbath, the intervening days were called the first of the Sabbath, the second of the Sabbath, and so on till they came to the seventh day which was simply called the Sabbath. If our translators were wrong—if they ought to have said, Sabbath, instead of first day, how does our friend know so positively that the term is applied to the first day of the week? If his claim is true, that it is called the Sabbath, then it is not called the first day of the week. He may say, "It was the next day following the Sabbath." Well, that day was always the first day of the week, and therefore our translators were right. According to the special translators of our times, the self-righteous Pharisee said, "I fast twice in the Sabbath." Luke 18:12. If that Sabbath was a single day, he must have taken one meal in the course of the day, if not two. A STRANGE story comes from the north of Spain. A moribund landed proprietor, notwithstanding the entreaties of his family and friends, refused to receive the consolations of religion. His family, thinking they had overcome his scruples, sent for the parish priest; but upon his arrival the sick man declined to receive him, and the priest withdrew, declaring that the devil would come in person to carry off so hardened a sinner as soon as he was dead. A few hours afterwards the sick man died, and while the family were watching over the body the door of the room was opened with a great noise, and there appeared upon the scene a personage arrayed in red, brandishing a pitchfork, dragging a long tail after him, and smelling very strong of sulphur. His appearance created so much terror that the women present fainted, and the men rushed out of the room by another door. A man-servant, hearing the screams, and thinking that thieves had broken into the house, armed himself with a revolver, and made his way to the room from whence they proceeded. For a moment he, too, was terrified by the appearance of "the devil," who by this time had got the body in his arms; but, mastering his fears, he fired three barrels of his revolver at him, and the supposed devil, who fell to the ground, proved to be the parish sexton, who by the orders of the priest, had disguised, as conceived, as Satan. He was quite dead when picked up, and four priests who are suspected of complicity in this attempt to work upon the superstitious feelings of the family of the deceased, have been taken into custody.—Pall Mall Gazette.
