GODS TEMPLE.
BY WALLACE GRUELLE.

TThe following beautiful, truthful lines
from the pen OF Wallace Gruelle. former
editor ofthis paper, does credi, to the head
and heart of that gentleman.
God lives not in the temples
Upreared by human hands,
Bedecked with gold and jewels
And the art OF many lands,
Carved alters, glaring pictures,
The wide and lofty fsnes,
With their operate music
And their gilded window-pcnes.
God speaks not in meme creeds,
Full OF bitterness and hate,
That robs the soul OF happiness
And leaves it disconsolatei
lie exalts not this believer.
While the other one he dsmns:
He hates comb.tive Christians,
As he hates the heathen's shams
God hath built HIMSELF a temple
In every human soul,
And his wondrous love and mercv
Through its aisles end arches roll
As the waters of the Jordon
Through the garden Adam lost,
And to every real worshiper
Each day is Pentecost!
Let the priesthood fight and wrangle
Ger bitter and wOrn-out creeds
OF the religion of profession,
But not Of Christy deeds !
Let the organs swell in thunder,
Let the clergy rave and rant;
Let the bishops dwell in splendor
And the priests their masses chant
God is not in their theaters
Oi pomp and pride. and show,
Where jeweled vestments glitter,
And painted wax-lights glow
ButlIedwells with thosewh no love Him
And love their fellow man.
Who worship him in humbleness,
And live as best they canl

Imperialism q Real Danger
New York Sun I

This IS no imaginary dream. We
point to a real danger. Grant is not like
Washington. He was not content with
the highest military rank ever conferred
upon the father Of his country. but
crsved and obtained a higher. He is noe
content with the tso terms of the Presi>
dency which satisfied Washington and all
his successors till Grant. He wants a
third tsrm-he wants to be emperor.
Grant is not an unseI6sh patriot like
Washington. Es rather resembles Ahx-
ander. or Napoleon. and his unbridled
ambition already menaces the liberties
Of his country.

as you. 1t takes four aces, backed
by two large sized revolvers and zig
bowie knife. to win anything here,
and my advice TO him is to poke about
in Ohio county as long as he can
make living, aud when he does
leave there, poke as far away from
Leadville as possible.

Another asks, "Can / get work of
any kind out there?" Yes, come by
all means, and may Heavens bles-

the work YOU want, to get back to

As the time approaches for the as

take this method Of calling attention
TO the fact, and making a few sugges-
tions. 1t should be matter of per-
sonal pride to every member in the

should be well attended-not only by
the actual representatives from the va
rious suhOrdinates but by as large a
number of the Sir Knights as possible.
Our Fraires, as well as the citizens of
Henderson. are making every effort to
make the meeting a grand success,
and their labOrs should be rewarded.
The Sir Knights Of Louisville have
chartered a steamboat aud made ar
rangements By which the trip from
Louisville to Henderson and return
(including board while in Henderson,.
will not exceed twelve dollars to each
Sir Knights. This certainly is cheap
enough, and we confidently believe the
excursion will be one Of the most en-
joyable ever taken by the Kentucky
Sir knights. would also urge upon
those Communicates contemplating at
tending in body, the importance of
becoming as proficient as possible in
the Drill. Let the contest for the
"Prize Banner" be a contest indeed
and not mere child's play-as has
sometimes been the ease. Let US all
make our arrangements to attend the
