THE CHURCH AED THE WAR.

Doubtless the great conservative element IN a
democratic country is pure religion. But
that religion can never remain pure when 1T IS
prosltulcd to political purposes. Its mission
is to the heart Of the Individual person, and
not to the collective body polite. LIS conser.
vative and purifying influence must be efectual
if at all, on single men and women, the result
ing effect being on the public intesests through
those individuals. In all countries; when men
kave brought the church into the strifes of ma
tions Or of parties, the effect has been not only
to injurc or debase the church but also to des-
troy its Importance for good over the hearts OF
individuals. When it becomes machine for
political effect, it ceases TO have power for NOR
al good. 1t makes no difference whether the
cause ii espouses be the right or the wrong
cause. The result on the church is always the
same and always bad.
The clergy, as individuals have not only a
right, but are under an obligation to duty as
citizens. Their right to politica! opinions and
political preference is an unquestionable right.
At the same time, the exercising that right
they are bound to be exceedingly cautious that
they do not attempt to use their holy profession
for political purposes. They are made men
with duties as men, citizens with duties rs cit
liens; but the ministry which is entrusted to
them by their Master is not subject to their owl
whims and caprices, nor have they right to use
| it for any other purposes than that which Is
stated in their commission--the delivery OF Q
message to man from Godi the preaching of :
gospel, not to nations or governments, which
are things of an hour, but to the soul of man
which are to outlast the evancescent dynastie'
which men devise.
1t is impossible for right-thnking man t'
avoid sensation of pain, and perhaps deepe
emotion, when he bears clergymen reckiessiJ
degrade his character and mission b. making i
other than God has made it. The danger o
this haa always heen recognized, and therefor,

A FEARFUL TRAGEDY.
Heart-ronding Particulars Of tho Fate
of Three Canadians.
REVOLVING CANIBALIsM.

TTrom the Victoria Colonist, Dec. l5.l
From Mr.. John Giscome, just returned from
prospecting tour from the mouth of Quesnelle
to distance of $50 miles east Of the Rocky
Mountains, we have the following horrible de-
tails Of the fate of the portion OF party Of
Canadians who attempted to cross overland to
Cariboo, an incomplete account of which app
peared in The Coionist of July IL:
While Wintering at Fort George about the
9th December, 1852, two brothers named Gill
bert and Thomas Rcnnie, arrived at the Fort
in very weak state from cold and want of food.
Thomas Renne had his feet frost bitten. They
reported that they had got on rock above Fort
George and had left three of their party behind
in feeble state, with only ten days provisions,
adding their belief that they were dead by that
time, as tho two brothers had taken % days to
reach the Fort. Mr.. Charles judged, from their
description that the accident had takon place
about 90 miles up. He. therefore, dispatched
two Indians. in search, but they returned after
few hours absence, stating that tho weather
was toolsevere to attempt it.
On the LIST Of January the two Rennies came
to Gisccmcs cabin and while there four Indians
arrived. One of the Rennies who spoke French
inquired of the Indians if they had seen or
heard OF the missing ihch lhey rep.ieu taat
they had not come by the way of the Frazer,
but bysa nearer route On she following day
the Indians left the fort, processing to return to
the lake they had come from. Mr.. Giscome,
however subsequently, learnt from other Indians
that at a certain point two of the Indians went
up the river seeking for the unfortunate men,
whom they succeeded in finding. Two of them
| {bcheved to be Helstone and Wright were still
alive, but had killed William Rennie (brother to
Gilbert and Thomas) and had eaten all but his
legs, which they held in their hands when found
and were tearing the raw flesh from the bones.
The Indians were going to light fire for them
when tho two mon drow their pistols and the
Indians fled, but did not return to give informa-
ton OF tho Fort. This news did not reach the
/ fort until March, and the two Rennies, who had
become discontented with their fate at Fort
George (Which was the very best TO be had),
left at the end of January.
When Mr. Giscome was about to START on
his prospecting tour in April, Mr.. Charles told
him that from information his wife had procured
! from tine Indians, he was afraid the lndiais had
murdered tho last survivor, and requested Gls'
