One officer has been killed in action

shows that out of every thousand the
Middle States lost 1919; the New

Grand Army Of the Republic.


The charge is sometimes made that
the Grand Army of the Republic is a
partizan organization. If patriotism
Is politics, if fidelity to ono's country
is partizanship, if tender solicitudc
for the comfort and we'll being of the
disabled soldiers and sailors Of the
and care aud protection for
the widows and orphans oS our fallen
heroes, can make an organization
partixan, then, perhaps, the charge
may be true; but il not, it is a most
uuwarranted accusation, for these are
the purposes Of the Grand Army,
fully aud frankly published to the
world.
1t Is indeed true that the mombers
Of the Army arc fresh from the san.
culinary battle fields, made rod with
the blood Of their comrades shed in
defense of the Government, aud they
may at this time be found acting with
those mon who sustained them during
the war, and who now represent the
Government which they have presorv-
ed, but this should hardly subject
them to the charge Of partizanship.-
They cannot be expected to hastily
strike hands with their late deadly
foes aud aid to place them in power,
with full knowledge oftheir disloy-
atty to the Government, and with no
security for the future. The soldiers
Of the Republic fought for tho main
tonance Of certain principles; should
they be required to surrender them
now that their efforts have been
crowned with victory2 We know
there are those who appear to think
soldiers have no business with prin-
ciplos. They seem to forget that
our armies were made up Of citizens
possessing as much right to think as
those who staid at home and by their
sympathies, If in no other way, gave
aid and comfort to the enemy. When
the dividing line between parties
ceases TO run between loyal and true
friends of the Government on one
side and tho late rebels and their al
lies on the other, whom political is
sues take place of the question OF
the Government or no Government,
then perhaps tho members Of the
Grand Army may be divided in opin-
ions meanwhile they claim that their
home organization is not more parti-
san than was the Grand Union Army
in tho 6ald = Ireof ReouhI;c

Ministerial Hints.

An exchange furnishes the follow.
ing hints TO Ministers
Never make an apology in the pull
pit you will lesson yourself by so
doing. Don't make long Introduc-
tions TO your sermons; portico
should never bo as large as the
house. DO not make repeater of
yourself, by repeating the same
thoughts in your frst, secondly,
thirdly, lastly. and in conclusion
Never defend yourself in the pulpit
against any evil thing said Of you
You are set for the defence of the
gospel, and not Of your own repu-
tation. Keep your account with
God and not with men, and he will
defend you. Don't preach long SER
mons, for long sermons do no good
but often do harm. Every moment
you detain your hearers after they
become weary, you damage them and
yourself also. But the length Of q
sermon is not always measured by the
timo taken ia its delivery. A ser.
mon. that he's neither hight, depth
nor breadth, must necessarily be q
long one; or a sermon which does not
interest the hearers will Mways be a
long one. AS long as you can hold
the Fixed attention of your hearers,
it will be safe TO 60 on; bat when you
can neither gain or retain such attsn-
tiOe, close as soon as possible. tive
your hearers as many thoughts Ia .
| fcw words as you possibly can. .Let
your motto be mnltlnn IN paruo. hev-
er shun to declare all the counsel 0f
IGod for you may safely preach =
whole gospel anywhere.
