I wos exceedingly Vweary, having traveled, fifteen miles,.*■ preached three times and lend two classes. After family devotions I expressed a wish to retire to rest, and whs sent to the garret to Bleep. , A few minntes in bed convinced ,me that it was already occupied with a host of bloodthirsty creatures, ready' to commence their sanguinary operations. 1 -quickly arose, and giving m y under- .clothing, sheet and pillow, a. vigorous . shaking, sought rest in a distant part of tho room upon the floor. Hut whether, like the bloodhounds, they followed my track, or my imagination was playing • me pronka, I am not able to say; certainly I got no sleep. About midnight I heard the stair door open and the brother came up witli a .light.. Seeing me upon tlie floor he exclaimed “ What on ftirth you doin’ there?” “ Oh,” said I, "you know ifo vent hot.” Satisfied’ with the answer, he went on to pay that he had been sent for to come and eeo his daughter, who was thought to be dying, and' would be glad to have me go with him and talk ; and prav with her. 1 joyfully accepted the invitation, was soon ready* and with himself and wife rode some four miles to her residence. After conversation with her nnd prayer, in which I did my best to lead.her'to ♦Testis,-1 took a seat- in a . corner of the room and .caught a few moments sleep before returning. . * l.V THF.SSOW'. I oherw'ard had ir somew'hnt remark- able experience in that same garret. 1 was. holding an extra meeting. in that' neighborhood. The brother assistinginn, with myself, were, invited ..bv this'rsa mo brother to conic and spend tlie night with hiin. ;AVe accepteil, and were both went to the same garret for sleep. .It was very cold and during the night there was a terrific snow storm. The. roof was far from tight, and the snowdrifted through plentifully and emiie sifting do wm upon the bed, and into .our faces. My com- panion was able to cover his head com/ pletely with the clothing and elcop an comfortably as a mouse in its nest. Rut I was not built.that wily.; ami uftcr re- peated eHorts iu which I almost snioth*. ered myself; I was obliged to devise’ some other morle of relief. 1 thought' if the other side of the garret. should be free from show 1 could pull tlie bed over thero. I jumped out of bed and, whew! my bare feet went into snow.about two inches . deep. But I -paddled about until I found quite a space where the snow did .not fall. Then 1 went for.the bod, and then came the catastrophe.. It proved to be a trun- dle, bed mounted upon blocks about a foot higli and at the first puli came down with a crash, waking the. whole house. In a - few moments the. old gentleman called up the at airway, “ What on airth are.ye at up there ?” ' Tlie response wbb, “ Oh, we are,only trying'to get the bed out of the snow Btorm.” He returned to bed. and so did Ir having got*the bed out of tne falling snow, and slept quite cone .fortably until.morning^ A CoON llt’ST. ’ . One Thursday.afternoon I left, home to fill an atipointnient iri/Yt/school house about eight miles distant. After service < I Was walk in u' with the brother who waS. to’entertain me, to hi*. home, when' he said, • “ See ‘ here. Brother , the m*jon is fairly up now and bv midnight it will.be almost as light as day. I have made all mV arrangements to start on a ; cOon hdiit libout one o'clock, ami I want you'to go with me.’- We wjll be back by breakfast time-” -.After* inakitig., some ; inquiries I yielded to his wishes, and was aroused froin sleep a liitle after midnight, ami with dogs.and:guns we Were sodium our way to the wogds. 'fhe dogs wore in the woods before us and .we.had not pen- etrated fat* before .w e, heard their; loud velpa. We judged from the; sound that they were running directly tYoiu*u«, und puahedmi in tlie slime iUiveiion as- fast as possible. “ That is a cunning .old ; fel-- low,” said the brother, “ lie is making for the big swamp/ ’ . We pushed »»n, the .cry of the'dogs becoming fainter aiid Hunter, and was soon lust to hearing. ,After travelling about a mile we caine'lo the edge of what the .'brother called the “ bigswamp,” .and could get no further. W e sat down and waited for the dogtf to. Speak or return. Hut after an hour or more we concluded it was useless to wait longer aiid started for Jiome. Aswedrew near the edge of tlie w»iods we were sud- denly startled ,bv loud yelps, from the dogs onlv a few hundred feet away. We hastened to the spot and . found them , nosing about under, a ‘grape v in e b u t they soon took; .the . track and made a livelv gait to a ledge of rocks a little die- ’ . lance*oil', and began to bark furiously. ( in looking about a little t he brother con- cluded they were under a large flat - rock and hO could rout them out. He gave tue the gun, got a long pole and began to .punch :.:tiuder the.'rock, tolling -me: *tq shoot' if' on e can ie; in sight;; He fore e it lie r o f na anticipated,such a thing one jumpiid, biit and in a second whipped round a cor*- her of tlie rock and wtia out of sight. - It was now fiiirlyday break. - The. brother, thought there' were niore under tliere\I changed my positibri td get'a better, view. The pole had hardly gone under the'rock before another sprang out and started oft but had not taken niahy jumps before .1, shot him; • Tlie^brptiier: .Htili-j?aid there were niore under t)iere, ' which proved true,' for soon t wo (‘anie out. at once:; one so iieiir a dog Uiat ,was. right at liis heels -tliut ho was obliged to take to a tree, and the other was shot wliile running upon the ground. Thun the other was shot from tlie tree. The pole could not .rout any others, nor could the dogs tell lie where the first one had gone. So we shouldered game and nitirched home.. I accepted the earnest invitation of tho’ brother to stop for dinner, and for the .first time ih .my life dinedupon“ coori a.id did it with reliBli. ' • /•. : v.A ia'KHi: sirK. !

Still you keep blaming ihe preacher that he doea not come to see you.” Still more: spite-. fully he exclaimed, "You never stayed long chough for me to give you. an invi- tation!;' With pcifcet calmness I replied Well o f course 1 don't 'know . how long it takes you to give an invitation, but-the lirst time 1 was there I stayed about half an hour and talked and pmyed with ypu; tlie secon’d ;time ! was there about an hour, aud talked and proved witli you ; the tliird time I was there about an hour and a half, aiid talked and' prayed with you.: Still, I don’t know how much time; you require to give ah invitation.” As lie ventured nothing further the service was closed; and as the people were leav- ing ihe place the. last words heard from' the' old. nian and his wife, they were blaming each other for not having invited me. i was warmly congratulated on having administered u well deserved re- buke which they 'hoped would do him good.- * :• •"*• ; :*.

ing o f a very hot day! in 'August a brother• invited me to go and spend the night w ith him. I wos exceedingly Vweary, having traveled, fifteen m iles,.*■ preached three tim es and lend two classes. A fter fam ily devotions I expressed a wish to retire to rest, and whs sent to the garret to Bleep. , A few minntes in bed convinced

,me that it was already occupied with ahost o f bloodthirsty creatures, ready' to commence the ir sanguinary operations. 1 -quickly arose, and g iv ing m y under-

.c lo th ing, sheet and pillow, a. vigorous

. shaking, sought rest in a distant part o f tho room upon the floor. Hut whether, like the bloodhounds, they followed my track, or my imagination was playing

• me pronka, I am not able to say; certainly I got no sleep. About m idnight I heard

• the stair door open and the brother came up w itli a .light.. Seeing me upon tlie floor he exclaimed “ W hat on ftirth you doin ’ there?” “ Oh,” said I, "you know ifo vent hot.” Satisfied’ with the answer, he went on to pay that he had been sent for to come and eeo his daughter, who was thought to be dying, and' would be glad to have me go with him and talk ; and prav w ith her. 1 joyfu lly accepted the invitation, was soon ready* and with h im self and w ife rode some four miles to her residence. A fter conversation with her nnd prayer, in which I did m y best to lead.her'to ♦Testis,-1 took a seat- in a . corner o f the room and .caught a few moments sleep before returning. .

* l.V THF.SSOW'.I oherw'ard had i r somew'hnt remark­

able experience in that same garret. 1 was. holding an extra m eeting. in th a t ' neighborhood. The brother assistinginn, with myself, were, invited ..bv th is 'rsa mo brother to conic and spend tlie night with hiin. ;AVe accepteil, and were both went to the same garret for sleep. .It was very cold and during the night there was a terrific snow storm. The. roof was far from tight, and the snow drifted through plentifully and emiie sifting do wm upon the bed, and into .our faces. M y com­panion was able to cover his head com/ pletely with the clothing and elcop an comfortably as a mouse in its nest. Rut I was not built.that wily.; ami uftcr re­peated eHorts iu which I almost snioth*. ered myself; I was obliged to devise’ some other morle o f relief. 1 thought' i f the other side o f the garret. should be free from show 1 could pull tlie bed over thero.I jumped out o f bed and, whew! m y bare feet went into snow.about two inches

. deep. But I -paddled about until I found quite a space where the snow did .not fall. Then 1 went for.the bod, and then came the catastrophe.. I t proved to be a trun­dle, bed mounted upon blocks about a foot h igli and at the first puli came down with a crash, waking the. whole house. In a - few moments th e . old gentleman called up the at airway, “ W hat on airth are.ye at up there ?” ' T lie response wbb, “ Oh, we are,only try in g 'to get the bed out o f the snow Btorm.” He returned to bed. and so did I r having got*the bed out o f tne falling snow, and slept quite cone

.fortably until.morning^A CoON llt’ST. ’ . •

One Thursday.afternoon I left, home to fill an atipointnient iri/Yt/ school house about eight miles distant. A fter service < I Was walk in u' with the brother who waS. to’entertain me, to hi*. home, when' he said, • “ See ‘ here. Brother , them*jon is fairly up now and bv midnight it w ill.be almost as light as day. I have made all mV arrangements to start on a

; cOon hdiit libout one o'clock, am i I want you'to go w ith me.’- W e wjll be back by breakfast time-” -.After* inakitig., some

; inquiries I yielded to his wishes, and was aroused froin sleep a liitle after m idnight, ami with dogs.and:guns we Were sodium our way to the wogds. 'fh e dogs wore in the woods before us and .we.had not pen­etrated fat* before .w e , heard their; loud velpa. W e judged from the; sound that they were running directly tYoiu*u«, und puahedmi in tlie slime iU iveiion as- fast as possible. “ That is a cunning .old ; fel-- low ,” said the brother, “ lie is making for the big swamp/ ’ . W e pushed »»n, the .cry o f th e 'd ogs becoming fainter aiid Hunter, and was soon lust to hearing.,A fter travelling about a mile we ca ine 'lo the edge o f what the .'brother called the “ b igsw am p,” .and could get no further. W e sat down and waited for the dogtf to. Speak o r return. Hut after an hour or more we concluded it was useless to wait longer aiid started for Jiome. A sw ed rew near the edge o f tlie w»iods we were sud­denly startled ,bv loud yelps, from the dogs onlv a few hundred feet away. We hastened to the spot and . found them

, nosing about under, a ‘grape v in e b u t they soon took; .the . track and made a live lv gait to a ledge o f rocks a little die- ’

. lance*oil', and began to bark furiously.( in looking about a little t he brother con- cluded they were under a large flat - rock

and hO could rout them out. He gave tue the gun, got a long pole and began to .punch :.:tiuder the.'rock, tolling -me: *tq shoot' i f' on e can ie; in sight;; He fore e it lie r o f na anticipated,such a thing one jumpiid, biit and in a second whipped round a cor*- her o f tlie rock and wtia out o f sight. - I t was now fiiir lyd ay break. - The. brother, thought there' were niore under t l i e r e \ I changed my positibri td get'a better, view. The pole had hardly gone under the'rock before another sprang out and started oft but had not taken niahy jumps before .1, shot him; • Tlie^brptiier: .Htili-j?aid there were niore under t)iere, ' which proved true,' for soon t wo (‘anie out. at once:; one so iieiir a dog Uiat ,was. righ t at liis heels -tliut ho was obliged to take to a tree, and the other was shot w liile running upon the ground. Thun the other was shot from tlie tree. The pole could not .rout any others, nor could the dogs tell lie where the first one had gone. So we shouldered game and nitirched home..

.7 Representation Without Taxation.A t the Republican lYm iriry on ' Thurs-

day the question touching the right o f the citizens o f Asbury Park and Bradley Beach t o , vote for appropriations for township purpQses, was introduced, but

' thought to he too complicated for settle­ment there, iiml fciifc voting proceeded in the usual way— all o f the residents within and without the boroughs, voting in com­mon for candidates and appropriations.

It was decided to raise $.">700 for the three items o f Ways and Means, Hoads, ami Poor; and $800 for Township Police. These appropriations w ill undoubtedly be carried at (he election, .Itlnrclriij: Jf the sum named for Hoads, and Wa vs and Weans, Is levied upon the township out* Hide o f the Boroughs; taken in eonnec* tion* with a probable increase in the School.tax', and leaving the County tax at $4 pe r $1(>()0; t he m me as last year; tl ie rate wilt he from SU to $15 per $1000,

..upon'property within the limits o f School District Xo. JI0|, and about $2.f>0 less upon property outride those limits.

In ‘.view o f th e fact, thut the resident*? o f the Uorough voted for appropria­tions it becomes a question whether the property within their corporate limits does not - become liable, for its pro­portion o f tlie hix. In Hnv event it. should be levied, , and . the contention o fth e Asbury Park oilidrils that the Bor­oughs are exem pt under the law, be tested in the courts; and thus settle* the.vexed quest ion.of the right o f the people o f a cer­tain district to vote for ollicers o f another Section with whom they have no ollicial

Vconnection, or to assist in making appro­priations 110 pint o f which they can be compelled to pay.,

T h e Republican Candidal s.

A strong contest for the nomination for Freeholder between Cook Howland, the present inemnhent, and t ieo rgeW . Treat, the new aspinijit, lent unusual interest to the'Republican Primary on Thursday, and caused the enrollment-, o f more than mhelnVndred mimes; something unheard

..of in the political history o f the town­ship, and it-.was not until midnight tliat .the count was iinished and the nmjori-

• ties, o f the successful candidates fortted up. The ch ie f interest was cen­tered- in the nom ination' for Free hoi-

• der, the other candidates appearing as so puny nmndents necessary to the occas­ion; and it was only after the votes were

‘ counted that the unsuccessful.ones began. to . wonder .‘ ‘.where tliev \vcre at” and : Avliy' they were there.

; Since the nomination o f suitable mate­rial in this township is- equivalent to an election,, brie f mention’ -o f the'nien who >viU conduct the business o f the tdwn-

• ship for tlie eusiting year may not lie• aiuiss. •; - 7 • ■ -v.jV:

Mr. tieorge \V; Treat,' the Kreejjolder,. has alxyaystaken an active - part in furth­ering the political interests:-'of the Repub­lican party here, and will bring to the ad-

. mi nisi iat ions - o f his o f lice a keen iutelli*, geiice iihd shrewd- business capacity that

Hubbhidj the collector, have conducted the ofilces for which they have again been nominated, for a number o f years, and arc

’ thoroughly, fam iliar w ith tiie require­ments and duties o f their positions. It is seldom that offices o f a like nature are filled witiiHnoli satisfaction to the general piiblic. \ ' .

Mr. CJravatt, the nominee for Township Committeeman, is a new hand ai the bel*. lows, but his familiarity with township aflairsand his association with the other experienced members o f the Hoard will soon g ive him an insight ijito the require*

m e n ts o f the situation. • - V .

Pestilent Anarchists.Daily revelations force upon us the

conviction that a dangerous class o f peo­ple found iii most countries who, g lory in the name o f Anarelnsts, are becoming niore bbld and l'eekless, or are' very rap-; id ly : increasihg ’ u i jaiumljers. both propositions are true. Scarcely a ' d a v ; passes th a t, tlie. public prints are not called upon to chronicle the work o f some dastardly bomh*thrower,, by .which prop­erty is destroyed, the bodies o f innocent people mangled, and attended with more or less loss o f life. I t is true tliat most o f these crim inal acts occur , in foreign countries; Spain, Fm nceand Russia hav- the most trouble with these outlaws; but Germany, Ita ly and even England, being more or less plagued with them. I t is probably owing to the fact, that in the Vnited: States the working cjaes have, better op])ortunities for work, wages and fair support, that we have been, liorritied with so few o f these demonstrations.; Vet they have been suflicicntly numer­ous and ghastly to call for tlie exercise o f the keenest vigilance ou the part o f the guardians o f the peace. The scarcity o f these crimes.may in part be owing to the prompt and severe punishment meted out to. these viiliana when discovered.

Judge Gary, o f Illinois,deserves \ve*.l o f his countrymen for the able and fearless part he took in bringing to justice the bom b-tlirowers o f Chicago. But these crimes are likely to multiply as the fric­tion between capitol and labor increases. For no amount o f legislation can make these two great forces work harmoniously. Harmony'depends more upon the dispo­sitions and principles upoii both sides than it does upon law. . I f the capitalist chooses to look after the interests o f his workmen, ami the workmen the interests o f the. capitalist, they can get along smoothly with little, or 110 law. But when this spirit is lacking there w ill be trouble, and no legislation can prevent it. Ijiw s which would g ive to dissatisfied workmen:what they desire, would strike at the foundation principles o f civiliv.a- fioti. It wottld. be denying a man the right to his own property, and the priv i­lege to manage his own business. And tiie men who talk the loudest about be­ing robbed o f their rights by capitalists, would as streuously urge the rights o f capitalists i f b y chance they should be­come capitalists themselves. The evil lies in human nature and is.not to be cured by law. But it breeds discontent, and sometimes Anarchists. . '-. There is greater <langer from these foes to civilization ... now than evei: before. First, beauise o f tlie widespread parulysis o f the Vaisiiiess interests o f the country; and as a . coi\se»^uenee the great aymv o f the unemployed who have nothing to do but blood over th e if faiiCicd wrongs. Secondly, because foreign nations which have so frequently suite red from their outrages are now awake to tiieir danger, and arc bent upon their prompt punish­ment, and no doubt many o f them will seek an asylum in this* country. I ’ nder these circumstances it is well Unit the gate o f entrance be closelv watched by the authorities, and every comer closely scrutinized. 7 7. • ' t ; :y •:.%< ; • , - . •

I f there, are any o f these pests found let .them be relumed* to the land from which they came. Jf there is no law for it .there, ought to he. They tire a

.menace.to life, property and the peace and welfare o f society.

But what can and ought to be done to protect society from these reeHless do­st ructionists? As self preservation is the

j first law, o f nature,, it seems dear to 11s * that great restraint, i f iiot entire prohi* j bition, ought to be put upon the publica- j tion 'o f books, papers', tmcts, and tlie ut- | terance o f speeches, th e ' direct inlluence j o f which is. to foster anarchy. Tiiesq j miscreants abuse the freedom o f speech J aiid the press to awaken a-spirit that

would destroy both. As a matter for leg­islation it lias embarrassiiieuts, .but it is

DRAW N vs. UNDRAWN.

T h e Latter Class of F ow ls Keep Better and Longer.

An interesting inycKtigatfoh hag re­cently been made in Washington. f>. 0., for the purpose o f determ ining the iclti- t ive value: o f drawn and undiawn poultry, Health officer Hammett, o f Washington has sent to the Commissioner the report o f a careful investigation made by Pro­fessor H ird in the nmttor; which waa as fo llow s :

Health Olfieer Hammett has Sent to tlie Commissioner his report 011 the ques­tion o f the shipment o f poultry, drawn o r undrawn. The question was agitated early in the season. A t thut time the poultry dealer held a meeting and dis­cussed the -question; They favored the shipment • o f undrawn* poultry, while Health Oflicer Haminott maintained tlmt the fowls should be drawn, hut since the examination made by Professor H ird he lias changed his opinion, and now he believes that Hie fojvls shipped should not be drawn. He does advocate the.re­moval o fth e crops from the fowls, and suggest* that no.fowls be fed for twenty- four hours before killing. In this position ho ia fully sustained by the poultry men, w ho g ive such advice to all shippers.

In his letter transmitting the result o f ’the investigation made by Professor H ird Dr. Hammett.says:

“ I have the honor to forward herewith tho report o f Chemist Ilird of this depart­m ent relative to the subject o f drawn and undrawn poultry and beg to invite atten­tion thereto. This test was made at a tim e when,' I freely con fees/ a strong predjudice against the sale o f undrawn poultry existed in m y mind,. .“ Judging from this exhaustive experi­ment I am o f the opinion that it would be impossible fo r th e ; meat to; become tainted as the result of. the non-removalbe ini possible for meat tb; become

o f the entrails until lifter a considerable period, o r until such a tiuie as the poultry shall, have begun to show signs o f decom­position. Tne fact therefore is this: Un­drawn poultry w ill keep much longer than the drawn. I am informed tliat much o f the poultry is shipped to W ash­ington from a considerable distance. W ere the dealers compelled to sell only drawn poultry there would be greater danger to the community from the sale o f unwholesome meat than now exists through the sale o f undrawn poultry.

“ I t also becomes possible to tell, from an examination o f the internal organa, W hether or not the poultry has l)cen afflicted with disease, which is a strong poi rit in favor o f u ridraSvn ' pou ltry .. . ■'<;

‘.‘There should be an ordinance or regr ,\ildti6n: positively prohibiting the sale o f p iiltry 'that has not been kept . from food a t least.twenty-four• hours before:k\Uihg. A ll undrawn poultry, without empty crops should be condemned as unfit for

.food.” . . . .

TMtonx^oit nmi)’,s itki'oirr.

The report o f Professor Ilird , made to the Health officer is as follows:

“ I submit herewith a report o f my in­vestigation o f the question o f ‘drawn vs. undrawn’ poultry.

“ Tho two turkeys which were made the subject o f my investigation were k ill­ed February il, 1 1 a. in. .

“ Original live weight o f each turkey tw elve and one-half pounds.

‘ W eight o f dressed turkey, nine and one-quarter pounds. • /

“ W eight o f undressed turkey tw elve and one-quarter pounds.

“ It w ill thus he seen that the undressed turkey, lost three pounds by that, oper­ation.

“ Both turkey were in excellent condit* ion when they reached the health ollice, and were very fine specimens o f their kind.

“ They were hung up on the morning o fth e 5th in a room where the tempera* litre was about that o f the,outside airand remained until the Kith, a .period o f about ten days.

“ February 12 the first change was noticed there heing nTaint odor percepti­b le from tbe drawn turkey, while tho un­drawn showed 110 evidence o f any change.

“ February K>, drawn turkey marked stale odor, ju ice beginning to drip. Un­drawn turkey no uparent change.

; “ February 14, drawn turkey, odor con­siderably increased. Undrawn, 110 appar­ent change. •

“ February 15—‘The flesh was removed from the breasts o f both turkeys and kept entirely separate. The meat o f the drawn turkey gave forth a strong, dis­agreeable odor, white .-tlmt front the un­drawn seemed to be perfectly sweet aiid fresh, 110 apparent decomposition having taken place. The juices o f the. meat won* then testedwith litmus paper, after which the meat was digested for twenty- four hours with cold water. It was then filtered from thu solution and the extract examined. .

“ The result clearly showed that decom­position had commenced in ' the meat taken from the drawn turkey, w hile that from the undmwn showed no such ev i­dence.

“ February 18— lloth turkeys were now laid open.

“ The drawn turkey, was found to bo in a bad state of decomposition, while the undrawn turkey was found to-be hi ex ­cellent condition, not the slightest decom­position being observable.

“ The intestines were normal in appear­ance as wero also the liver and heart, showing evidently that the hird luut pre­viously enjoyed good health.

“ I t may be well to state here that the only disease o f poultry that there is rea­son to believo may . prejud ice the, flesh is fowl cholera. In such cases the* meat is redder than usual, the liver probably softer and the heart speckled w ith red spots often inside and out, w hile the in­testines w ill he inflamed with red spots o r livid patches.

“ The .fat o f the turkeys was also ex ­amined, which in tho case o f the drawn turkey, it was so il and watery, w hile in the undrawn it waa found to be-firm and hard. *

“ As a matter o f fact/after having been kept ten days, the undrawn turkoy was

.still lit for food, w hile the drawn turkey imd for several days' previous to this been filling the rooms with a foul odor.

“ I t should be noticed in connection w ith this, however, that the undrawn turkey has been penned up without food fo r twenty-four hours previous, to being killed so that it was entirely em pty so far aa any food or. foecal m atter was con­cerned. In addition to this tho in Vernal organs were in as good a state o f prcserv.a- tion.as one would expect'to find in a tur­key just k illed ." .

In tlio philosophical rooms o f tho co l­leges thoroia genera lly to be tonndsom o color wheel avIi ere tlie rap id m otion and tho sh ifting o f disks make the pink turn to red and the red hasten into purplo or gold . So thero are sound wheols which mako a new tone as tho velocity o f the ■v heel is increased o r diminished. ■

These internments illustrate tho flex i­b il ity or tlio human miiid and ask ns to m a rk ' how it changes its co lor or its .m usical tone. Pojnc now velocity has been imparted to tho wheels and tho tone hns risen; some wand lias touched the revolv ing disks, and a new color is ‘before the gaze o f tho studying class. W hat wand lias touched the color wheel? ; Theso are not the tints w e saw not long 8im*b. W hat hand lias turned tho tono- wneol?. .Tlieso aro not tho notes that eamo first.

A s in su m iner i t is deligh tfu l to look out over sea or land and watch the changes wrought in rapid succession by. sun and object, field, h ill 01* cloud, so it is n pleasure to m ark tho scenery that the human race creates from ago to ago out o f its thoughts and ieelings.

N o t long ago somo new elements en­tered into the construction o f society, and w o ought not to wonder i f new re­sults aro coining from such new causes. I f pottticnl and in te llectual lib erty is w hat all the great men o f a ll times have declared it to bo, i t should not dw ell in our country a hundred years w ithout leav ing somo marks o f itself. M oreelo-

• H o w could such a po litica l and mental v irtu e live and act in our continent more than a century, w ithout causing some new color to come to public l i fo and pub­lic .thought? O urgeologists in uncover­in g some o f the imbedded rocks find in .tbein the trac llso f birds that ran before a hailstorm 10,000 years ago. The point o f tho hail drops is seen in thosum m iid- ing rocky floor, g u t bow could liberty “crSss and recioss this continent so oftenand yet leave no footprints in its expanse o f in tellect? Th is has always been a sensitive nation, ] t has never been heartless. I t has alw ays been suscepti­ble of laughter and tears; R eca ll how sensitive it was when K in g Georgo or­dered our fathers tu huy their paper and . tea o f h im ; how sensitive when E n glan d , pressed our laborers in to her service 011 the sea; how sensitive when slavery at­tempted to plant itse lf in the great;w est: how sonsitivo when slavery attempted. :

• to set tip a nation o f its own in states, -stolen from the domain o f freedom. And ye t amid this sensibility freedom ' bus been at w ork w h ile three genera­tions have come a nd gone. -

Some results o f liberty ought by this tim e to bo visib le. W hen made a part­ner o f education, i t creates a humanity tly it subjects a ll pld ideas .to w eigh t and measurement * a n d 'is bold to discard w bat cannot stand all the new tests o f an'enlightened and tree reflection.' Th is lib erty and reflection have made great changes in a l l departments o f public opinion, but now'here is change more .marked than in the field o f re ligion.t . ItlllUttoiiHiiCfiri and Believoieiicu.

There w ere centuries in which tho churcli. was the greatest idea o f Chris­tian ity. T o find tlio true churcli and to get* into it was tho only hope fo r this w orld und tho next.. B y a long process o f debate and experience the church idea has fallen not a lit t le in importance nnd instead have come into re lig ion two dom inant princip les— righteousness and benevolence— tho upright soul w ith in and kindness tow ard a il that is'outsido o f self. Our century has exalted the righ t and tho m ercifu l until they over­shadow* a ll the doctrines which need*to bo emblazoned and defended so pump? ously. Christ not on ly remains, but he haB been exalted by every movement o f the age 'toward, a new uprightness and

. m ercy. H e had no spires, no church, no pulpit, no pew, no organized society, but on ly tho most perfect o f human characters. Ho was so ju st that a ll who came to him came to righteousness; he

, was so benevolent that a ll who came near him w ere encircled by love.

In a ll form er times opinions .were, made stationary by authority and cus­tom . The people d id not possess educa-

' tion enough to enable them to 'perceive some new idea, and so o ld and pow ­erfu l was cusjtoni that the community d id not desiro any. new ideas. L iberty soon removes this w e igh t o f . custom. H av in g been p lay ing its part fo ra gen­eration or two, it sets the ind ividual fieri from "'a ll the old restraints, and new ideas come us easily as new buds to u tree or now smiles to tbo face. CJndor tho escape from the force o f custom slavery fe ll, the rapid boats and care came, woiuan arose to a new ligh t, ed­ucation bccame general. What had long been chains ot steel became on ly spider webs.

Falne CuatnuiH I.a ld Aaldu.

• Custom and 'authority had long held the churches'and their creeds in plate, but a hundred years of free thought are

' enough to make havoc o f custom unless tlio custom is founded upon perpetual fact. I t is d ifficu lt for a false custom to rem ain atablo under the a ir o f liberty. Each day man ’s thought attacks it. The

• blows soom harmless at first, lnit a fter a long tim e the error fa lls. '

In an old poem the w rite r speaks o f

an.iceberg floating in the polar wave. I t can.pass many years d r ift in g in .such icy waters. A t last some wind or cui'r reh t catches i t and ihov.es i t s« »u th ward. I t is powerless; to go hack. Itri aw fu l mass, creeps i j i lo w ly toward tho parallels; o f wheat -anil; grass. On it moves; s t ill a . mouiifain,; a larm ing the sailors nnd ch iliin g n »u iy m iles o f tlio surrounding air. W eek ^ a n d inonthB bring i t to the.confines o f a fu ll glow ing; summer, aiid at last, w ith the ocean a l l . Warm! ai'ound it, w ith hot w inds sm it­in g it and w ith a g low in g sun over it, it 'reients. it'd issolves, its proud.adaniant . becomes gentle drops o f w ater i i i tho pea* Thus iron customs d r ift strong and cold in despotic times, but when some change o f current sweeps them fa r o lf into tlioSummer o f lib erty they lose their lo fty van ity , they m elt, they, perish.

Literary Leadership.'L ite ra tu ro ' is running in advance o f

tbo church. Thero are three reasons for; this leadership. Tho, litera ry .iliinds. have been more g ifted and moro am bi­tious thim those that have entered the pu lp it. ' H igh literature offers hoth more, go ld and more fame. Tho literary mind, has a ll tho w orld o f thought to draw froin . I f you w il l read C arly le or Hugo or M otley or Ruskin, and then w ill read' somo theologica l-w ork 'or Somo volume o f sermons, you w ill note the great d if­ference between tho breadth o f tho two! form s o f reflection nnd speech. Tho second reason fo r tho leadership o f lite r ­a ry men 1b found in t lie ir release-from the authority and -custom that dominate tho fields o f theology.: - T lie ir stylo and subject -m atter are as - fiexiblo as silk.- Their"hal-p not on ly plays many tunes,' b u t,it is perm itted to lourn all the great pieces o f .new music.. ■ ■ ■ 1

Another reason for.this litera ry dom i­nation is found in the fact that the high, letters can deal on ly in universal ideas,, been 11 ho -they, do not speak to a C a th o lic . or a C aivih iet or to a Democrat or; to a W h ig , ’but to ninnkind. W hen re lig ion comes into -literature,'it enters iii the nam e o f the human, race, and i f ’ Leo X I I I or a H indoo nionk reads the p a ra -. graph fig .recognizes. tho thought as iiis '; cfwn. T lie nineteenth psalm could be, rend w ith delight by all pious minds upon earth, fo r i f there bo between the poles a thousand different religions, w ith ehriues in Europo o r in the heart o f A fr ica , in all places a like w ould men w elcom o tho w o rd B “ T lio heavens de­clare tho g lo ry o f G od .”

Wedded to Universal Truth." N ear ly a ll the evolutionists would jo in also in the hymn, fo r they b e lie ve ' that a supremo God put into tbo atoms, some potency that would gather them­selves into the planets and suns nnd put into tho humblest lifo a power that would lead that l iv in g germ up to the high form and nature o f tho human creature. Being thus wfdded^ to un i­versal truth, the men o f literaturo out­ran the church and reached first those central id^as w hich.now a re s low ly en­veloping the m illions o f our nation. God as delineated iii the church,i6 loved by but a few , but as seen in literature he ia loved by tho human race .. ♦

Wo hear allusion often to tho gospel o f John Ruskin. W hat is itV I t is not that o f Leo X1JI or o f any o f tho great magnates o f Christianity. I f we read tho early books, o f that “ Graduate o t ' Oxford, ’ ■ w e tiud the re lig ion at upright­ness and hcuevoience. So tender hearted was ho that in . his “ A rch itecture” he taught that each house should havo.u porch to which tlio passerby could run from a sudden, storm o f rain! or hail. Beauty, nature, honesty, lovo and wor­ship compose the gospel o f Ruskin. •'.

W hat w as the gospel o f Browning*/ What that o f Tennyson? What that^of W hittier? .W hat the gospel o f Lon g fe l­low? Thus .name m ight be added to name until w e should seem encompassed by a .celestial arm y —all soldiers of Christ indeed, but o f Christ incarnate', iii human character and human deeds.

i 'h « (iiiKpel o f (treat Men.I t is not thought to be tho fu ll right

o f speaker or essayist ’ to illustrate by the names o f - persons who aro not yet dead, but il lustration need not im p ly any high eulogy. W e cannot bo b lind to the fact that the minds lik e Lym an Abbott, Washington Gladden, W illia m T . H ar­ris, H am ilton Mabio, aro grow ing Jnoro numerous rapid ly, and that this! army' is not swelled and . recruited from ' the ignorant and eccentric, but from tho halls o f learning and from tho paths o f high genius. The churches all stand encompassed by these religious minds whose gospel is that o f Ruskin and o f tho’ w id e domain o f. letters. B y tho grave of Ph illips Brooks ono m igh t remember that hero he also stood, his robo as bishop not separating him fa r from the men o f letters near whom ho lived a ll his attractive life . O f- these emancipated thinkers tho l iv in g group is no longer composed o f a few individuals, but o f many thousands. They are found in tho oflice of tho schoolmaster; they abound in tho ro lls o f the college pro­fessors; they think their new thoughts and read their new books in the homes o f tlie law yer and the. doctor; they aboiind in that multitude o f young men

I and young women who are ju st leaving school to take tjieir first stops, in the borders o f adult life . These swarm still more numerously in Franco and G er­many, fo r in these lands intellectual lib ­erty has played its pilrt for generations. • When a ll . are counted, t l io . a fm y is large, and as noble as. it is extensive. Tho church indeed helped creato these h igher souls; I t baptized them when they w ere ch ildren; it taught them the simplest precepts.of re lig ion ; j t awak­ened piety, but the churcli was not; great enough to g ra tify thoir souls fo r- over. It was a beautiful base.in which tho acorn could send up its first leaf, but not tho great, rich W ords iu which •tho plant could become an oak and ex­ult under tho boundless, sky. . Is the church henceforth to lead man on ly when ho is a l it t le child? Has it no doctrines and deeds fo r l i fe 's noon and for l i f e ’s suneet?

A t M any A lta rs .W bilo liberty and education aro creat­

ing a new center o f fa ith and a roligious throng outside the church, tho railways

is a id ing and abetting tliis sp ir it o f i 11- dopendeiiee. So many, individuals and fam ilies are now carried from placo to place., from, c ity to c ity and irora; hom o. to homo, that to almost m illions no'ouo a ltar ever romains dear. Tho local church is not as sacred as it was when , fam ilies lived 'and w oishipcd fo r many generations in ono ' limiso o f prayer. W hen you read tho elegy composed in, tho English graveyard , you are in the presence o f yew trees tha t h a vo sighed dyer the graVes :pf father and mother and ch ild repeated over and over for hundreds o f years. To bo ontsido o f that house was to be away from home and heaven. A ll not in that iv y cov­ered sanctuary aro under its sod. But our ra ilw ays have made homesickness only a. h istoric disease; f T lio rapid car is tbo science that has cured that old affection o f tho heart. And as mon and fam ilies go w ith chsm nwny from home, bo easily they sunder a ll ties to tbo altar wlioro once they m ay havo chimted a few hymns or lisped a lew prayers. T h e tie that holds us to tho center being broken, wo fly o ff into tho circum ferenco..

I t is cortain tho church is nncon* eciously 'a id ing all this outside piety. Many o f tho orthodox clergy w ho occupy high places in populous neighborhoods are preaching not tho gospel o f their creed, but tho gospel o f Ruskin and W h ittier and o f tho thinking world .

Unless the church'shall thus jo in with all moralists in creating a better world,- ono cannot dare promiso orthodoxy a brigh t future. T ’ho gu lf between the' .literary men. the scientific men and the sim ple humanitarians-on tho one bank, and the church on tho other bank, w ill hocomo deeper atid w ill bo uabridgelesH as the same g u lf was in the dark days o f tho French revolution. On the basis o f piety, r igh t and love tho educated men can come to uh and w e can go to them. Society w a s in past tim es made a u n it by means o f despotism and cus­tom and a largo adm ixture o f ignorance. A l l wero ono, ub a flock o f sheep or birds is a perfect p iece o f unity* but tho unity o f Am ericans must bo tho oneness o f truth and deed. Despotism, custom and ignoranco cannot any longer cement- tbo public. I t must m ove toward a unity o f thought.

Th e G re a t U e llc lo tia A rm y ,

A s church people wo aro com polled to adm it the existence o f a religious arm y that is not w ith us. I t is not a vis ib le, definite arm y that one may count, but it is real, tor in Frauco it eamO forw ard a few . years ago and d e - ' mnnded a reform in literature. I t asked that a ll young litera ry men should aim nt h igher ethics, should fly from sensu­alism tosp iritu a lity . It.cam e to tho leg­islatures o f England .and Am erica and passed laws against corrupt letters and corrupt art. I t came to tho old drama {\nd jin rified tho tQxt, Itc a m o to'tbe theater and persuaded it toW co m o a h igher form o f art or amusement. The organized re lig ion had somo part in some o f these reforms, but a largo p a r t ; o f tho impulse came froin the men and' women w ho believe on ly in God.and in a good aiid happy humanity..

There is no need to inquire where lies tho greater b lam e fo r that separation which wo see between Christian ity and science and Christian ity and literature. A great duty rests upon.each part};.

There are. unclassified Christians and m oralists;who havo bo.cn so long absent from tho chinch t l i a f they no longer know what it is say ing or doing fo r tho ago. Fu ll o f old estimates o f pu lp it and ■pew and fu ll o f prejudices that perhaps wero form ulated by Thom as Paine, they have littid conception o f tbo new sur­rounding facts o f re lig ion . I t is .possi­b le for literary m en nnd artists and men. o f science to become tho importunate- v ictim s o f self conceit. Each profes­sion ia liab le to m ake its own se lf the center o f.tho world.

' . t T o o M an y Form at!ties.

I t is agaiiiHt the fam o o f tho church that it has been often an iron like organ r ism , as heartless as the arm y o f a Han­n ibal. Jt is now questioned whether. Christ ever contem plated a definito church. Ho m ay havo had in m ind only n band o f brothersm arch ing to im m or­ta lity through fiolds o f common duty and along paths o f peace. In his own person 'and lifetim e, hia ecclesia ran along liko a science, a truth, rather than liko an attacking arm y or an am­bitious state— moved not liko an A le x ­ander. but like a literature or a c iv i l i ­zation. Ho woro no sword and made no resistance. H e attempted to persuade

1 tho sin fu l to sin no more. I f ho con- ; templated an organized church, i t was ; to bo. founded . upon tho basis o f tho j w’ord “ Seek yo G od ’s kingdom and his . righteousness, and a ll earth ly things I w i l l come also to reward the search.’ ’ - j A ro wo to suppose that Christ.found- | ed tho Roman and Protestant churches |*of the sixteenth century? Havo wo lost I our reason? H avo.w o never rend the

life o f Jesus? What, would Christ do j wero be here? N o ono can answer except

in the terms which tha passing age lays upon tho lips. Th o-n ew ago seems to sa y : “ H e would miiko God, ethics and benevolence a largo part o f the course 61 study iu a ll the sehooiB o f the whblo na­tion. Ho would not bo tho state, not the force o f ja i l or fagot. H e would bu ild up;» mental and sp iritua l power that would mold tho natio inn to beauty. Ho would gather a ll upright, - re li-

I gious lives into ono m .ultitudo and j erase the lines thill d iv id e Jew from | Christian,, heretic from Protestunt. H o

would not teach a creed as narrow as that o f Calvin or Leo X , but rather ono as w ide as that o f tho jioets and philos­ophers, a re lig ion which' would advance tike tho morning sunlight out upon its w ide errand from continent to continent •and trom homo to home. H e would lead tho pious minds ontsido iind inside the church into a perfect unity, fo r brick and marble, would not m ak e - the houso o f the Lord. Ho would lead a ll en light- obed, upright lives out to a happy labor in tho great fields o f duty; and w ith thorn hand in hand heW ou ld crowd the nation onward in a grand career and would hutry private l i fo along to its greatest cu ltu re, nnd greatest happi- ueas.” ,
