Cleanliness.
The Baltimore Methodist Episcopal enume-
rates fresh air as one of the means Of grace.
To which the Lynchburg Republicans adds:
Plenty Of water, well applied with soap, is
another. The Scripture says, those who have
clean hands and pure hearts shall ascend UNI
to the hill Of the Lord, and standin His holy
place. Exercise, diet, digestion and all such
Incidents and habits of daily life, have much
more to do with religion and grace than most
peOnle ever imagine. -

LONDON, July 22-The Times, alluding to
the recent agrarian Outrages in Ireland. saws
centuries of misrule have planted peryerse
views in the Irish peasants heart, which must
disappear under beneficient and enlightened
legislation. For this reason, we trust in such
measures of justice as the Irish Church bill,
which should not be left unsettled a moment
longer than can be avoided. Until it is settled
there is little hope for tranquility in Ireland,
and the gravest results are to be apprehended
from temporary postp0nement. Heavy indeed
is the responsibility of those who have power
to rescue the measure from delay.
