We had wonderful lesson, moreover, OF
love. We went out of our little clcle of rela-
tiyes out of cur neighbOrhoods, out OF our
states. We found new comrades ana 'riends
wherever two men wore the national blue.
Nav, we learned lessons of love to our foes We
nursed them we were proud OF their valor.
And once more and best yet, we learned self
denial We learned to suffer. We learned to
be willing to mourn. :.

Because they prove the point which was max
ing, that patriotism tends to Christianity. You
cannot learn to obey law, or face peril, or trust
the powers above you, or value honor, or deny
your.elf for duty and not be nearer the king
dom of God. The patriot, if only patriot
goes part of the way. The Christian, il truly a
Christian, tries to be thorough. That is all the
difference
NV third point is this: that true patriotism is
Christianity. 1 wish not to be misunderstood:
| do not say that Christianity is patriotism.
do not say that false patriotism is Christianity
say true patriotism, that which obeys law
that which is just to other interests, that which
loves others and denies self. call true patri
otism Christianity. You cannot reverence YOU
country and not reverence God. You canno
fear to do wrong to the laws and fear to disc
bey God You cannot love comrades because
thew are good and unselfsh. aud Chrstiae
and not love Christ himself. You cannot have
love for your fellows, and shed your blood fol
them, and lie on hospital cots for their sakes
and be really unwilling to suffer for God
| dare say a difficulty suggests itself here
Here, you say, are scores of men who are pa
triots and they make no profession to be Chris
tians. One reason is that they misapprehent
what it is to be Christians. There are many
men Christians who do not know it themselves
| There are many men who fear God and try tt
work Righteousness and are doubtless acceptet
of Him, who never are likely to know it till
| like the old Bible story of Cornelius, some on
breaches the true and plain meaning of Christ
But my point, it may be will be clearer b.
taking the negative side. You cannot mar
| mans Christianity and not mar his patriotism
Suppose man disobeys God, suppose him dis
honest, suppose him untruthful, suppose him
| drunkard. You have cast blot on his patriot
ism. You cannot rely on that man for patrl
ot Suppose him selfish in any respect, r1eaI
covetous, ungeuerous You cannot rely on hi
patriotism. You cannot make patriot out
a man that is selfish. His patriotism is goln
| to break down in the stern test of time an
cost and pain. Or let your patriot lack tru
sense of Justice. You have cast blot on ID
patriotism. The man who is unjust to his tan
lily is unjust to his fellows or unjust to foreisl

in every direction for his arrest. Ths city
council called special meeting and offered
g reward of $500 for his capture, and men
were sent out to scour the county. Wednes-
day evening a telegram from Marysville

a man answering the description. He wss
brought here during the night, and made a
full canfession, saying that his name was
g. w. Uilery, and that be was from

THE TRANSIT OF VENUS.

COMPUTATIONS MADE IN ENGLASD-OUR Dis
TANCE FROM THE sUN-vELoCITY WITH
WHICH WE ARE APPROACHING HIN.
New YORK, Jan. I7.-The World publishes
cable dispatch from London saying that
the first tentative computations ns6e at
Greenwich from the data obtained from the
observations Of the recent transit of Venus,
have yielded results somewhat different
from what was expected. Four caleulstiohs
made independently give the SUMS parallax
as being respectively 9O6 seconds, s45 Sec
onds, 9.25 seconds and {. 20 seconds, the moan
being 924 seconds. The computations were
made by Prof. O. Henricl. Ph. D.. Of Uni
veTsity College, NJ. Frederick Guthrie. Royal
School OF Mines and Arts, and Eessrs-
Dunken and Ellis. assistants at the Royal
Observatory at Greenwich. No calculatiCnS
have yet been completed st Kew ObserYa-
tory. The computations as given were made
only upon the basis of the moments Of ex-
ternal and internal contacts as reported
from different points of observation, aud
may be considerably modified when the
Photographic and micr0metric measure
ments are taken into account. BsseC on
this dispatch, the World remarks on
astronomer: ITO say that the SUMS
parallqx has been ascertaiDed To be s.24 sec

about p 323 semi-diameter Of the earth or
