The Methodist Church and the Coun

tNJ'
The relations Of the Church to the
country in the present contest were
patrioticaly set forth in the address Of
the Bishops to the General Conference
ofthe Methodist Episcopal Church, now
in session at Philadelphia. We copy
that part Of the address.
The times in which you are assem-
bled are unprecedented. A mystery
of iniquity," which was working at
the date of your last session, and
which had been working for many
years broke forth in April, 1861, in a
gigantic, thoroughly organized, and
most defiant rebellion against the au-
thority of the general Government,
and the integrity and life of the fedor-
al Union. The collisions, resulting
inevitably from this unnatural and
wicked rebellion, have laid waste
large portions of our once fair and
beautiful heritage; have sent tens of
thousands to n patriots or traitor S
grave, and have filled the land with
lamentation and mourning. The re-
bcllon still RACES, but we are happy
to say, with lessening hopes and dimin-
ishing resources.
In this great crisis Of our national
affairs, ii gives us pleasure to announce
that the Methodist Episcopal Church
has proved herself TO bo cminently
loyal, Taking her stand on tho sure
teachings of the New Testament, and
on our Twenty Article Of Rclig-
ion, with its appended noto, as, the
true platform of christian loyalty, and
utterly ignoring all partisan political
platforms, she has given to the Federal
Government her most decided support.
Nor has this support been confined to
resolutions Of approvaland sympathy,
adopted by all the annual Conferences,
nor to large contributions in money,
or its equivalent, for various purposes
connected with the war: but her mem
bers, and many Of her ministers, have
locked to the national standard, and
have fought side by side with brother
patriots on every battlefield of this
dreadful war.
1t was naturally to be approhended
that, in a crisis Of public affairs SC
dreadful, and during tho pendency o.
a civil war the most gigantic and the
most fearful known to history, the
Church in the loyal States and espec
tally the Methodist Episcopal Church
among tho most loyal those Church
es, would be greatly embarrassed ir
their action, and limited in the results
of their labor But wo are happy t.
say that, however it may have beer
with other Churches, this natural fore
boding has not been, to any consider
able extent. realized in relation tc
tho Methodist Episcopal Church,
On the contrary, she has gone for
ward in her Legitimate work with lit
tie interruption, and with surprising
prosperity. The annual Conferences
have held all their sessions at the
times, and, with two exceptions-tht
Missouri and the Kentucky-at the
places designated; the organization o.
the districts and the PASTORAL charges
with a few exceptions, on the extreme
war border has remained intact, while
in nearly all our leading intrests there
has been most cheering and even
wonderful progress.

LITTLE THINGS.

Ifmen con nit deeds of evil in youth,
they may str. gglc in vain, through a
long life, to appear before the world as
though such deeds had never been
done. 1t will be useless TO try to con-
sole ourselves that lttlc etironts and
needless injuries inflicted on others
are wiped out, even after long years Of
apparent friendship. All our acts,
however trifing an unimportant we
try TO think they are, photograph
themselves indelibly upon our sur
roundings ;~and acts of injury done to
our neighbor stand ready to be fulnti
mated against us upon fitting occasions,
when they are readily reproduced So
of little acts of kindness and mercy:
they are not sown in vain. They are
precious gems set in gold and though
they go rippling ont from our path,
and seem lost in the ocean of events,
they como back to US increased a
thousand fold and crown the evening
of life with untold blessings 1t re.
ouircs life time to learn h w to live;
and GOULD men begin life where they
quit, they might avoid many Of its
miserius, and live beautiful, happy and
oonsistant lives. But this is hard for
youth to comprehend. ECLECTIC.

SOLDIERS PSALM OF WOMAN

Down all the shining lapse of days
That grow, and grow forever
In truer love and better priase
ofthe Almighty Giyer--
Whatever God.like impulses
Have blossomed in the human,
The most divine and fair of thesn
Sprang from the soul ofwoman.
Her heart it is preserves the flower
OF sacrifciOl duty,
Which, blown across the Llackest hour,
Transiguresit it to beauty;
Her hands that streak these solemn years
With vivitying graces,
And crown the foreheNds of our fears
With light from higher places,
o wives and mothers, sNnctiiled
ByhOly consccrations,
Turning our WEAKNESS aside
With blessed minstratlons
o maidens, in whose dewy eyes
Perennial comforts glitter,
Untangling Wars dark mysteries
And making sweet the bitter;-
In desolate paths, on dangerous posts,
By places which, tomorrow,
Shall be unto these bannercd hosts
Aacldamas Of sorrow,
We hear the sound of helping feet,
We feel your soft caressings;
And all our life starts up to greet.
Your loyingness and blessings
On cots Of pain, on beds olwoc,
Where stricken heroes languish
Wan fares smile and gick hearts grow
Triumphant over anguish;
While souls that stnrve in lonely gloom
Flush grecnin odorous praises
And all the lovely pallets bloom
With Gratitudc's white daisies.
OlpS that from our wounds have sucked
The fever and the burning
offender fingers that have plucicd
The madness from our mourning
0hearts that beat so loyal true
For soothing and for saving
God send your own hopes back to you,
Crowned with immortal having
Thank God 20 Love whereby We know
Beyond ourllttle seeing,
And feel serene compasssons flow
Around the ache of being -
Lo clear DER all our pain and dread
