The Religion Of Character.

IT seems not over-sanguine to find in
the signs of our times many indications
yielding hope of another and a pro-
found regeneration of the religious
spirit. These indications point to the
Identification of religion with personal
character at once in its simplest and
largest sense; as right doing, the faith
full. the patient pursuit of all moral ex-
cellence; as aspiration and toll toward
a perfect manhood, manhood firmly
planted in fidelity to all human and
earthly relationships, and bound by
conscious and vital kinship to the spir-
itual power of the universe. This re-
ligion, when fully developed, will
recognize goodness as the one thing
needful; it will find the noblest employ
ment for all lofty and spiritual faiths
in applying them to produce integrity,
purity, love. joy, peace, in the lives of
men; it will find in such fruit the best
approval of the faiths that nurtured it;
it will, let us hope, by making men NOR
ally better, and purifying their minds
of the auimalism, bitterness and selfish
ness that dim the moral vision, enable
them to discern as by intuition the great
spiritual realities about which we ques-
ton, thus making good the promise
that the pure in heart shall see God:
While religion of character will thus
be in the strongest sympathy with
spiritual faith, it will not condemn any
man, whatever his belief, who in his
life is pure and benevolent; it will not
be afraid to accept the teaching of
Jesus, that the supreme test question is
whether we have ministered to the hum
cry, the naked, the sorrowful and sin
ming. 1t will affirm without reserva-
ton that the only real heresy is wrong
doing. Every man shall be judged
according to his works. &c. S. Mer-
RAM. in Scribner's Monthly.

display no skill; relying on their num-
bers, arms and known desperation of
character to protect them from arrest,
as it does in nine cases out of ten.
Keepers and policemen cannot be ex-
pecfed to force such brutes as these
fellows; they do sometimes, however,
and get shattered with shot. The
g monchers'' sneak about the hedge
rows on Sundays with lurcher dogs,
and snap up rabbit or hare; they do
not do much damage except near great
towns, where they are very numerous.
Shepherds, also, occasionally mouch-
their dogs being sometimes very ex-
pert; and plowmen set wires in the
gateways or gaps where they have
noticed the track of hare, but it is
only for their own eating, and is not of
much consequence in comparison with
the work of the real local professional.
These regular hands form class which
are probably more numerous now than
ever; the reasons are-first, the high
value of game and the immense demand
for it since poultry has become SO dear,
and, secondly, the ease of transmission,
now that railways spread into the most
outlying districts and carry baskets or
parcels swiftly out of reach. Poaching,
in fact, well followed, is lucrative
business. Pail Mall Gazette.

He recently delivered an address be-
fore the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation of Glasgow, which in addition
to the sound advice it contained was
filled with happy illusions to practical
Iife, and to science and literature. He
closed with the following personal state

call him. But then / had, and ever

and that consolation tender to YOU.
