From the Cincinnati Christian Review.
General James A. Garfield ID a mem
ber of the church OF Christ, and has
been for about thirty years. lie will
soon be ftty years OF age. We are glad
to record the fact that, besides being .
statesman Of acknowledged ability, his
private life has been purs and that his
christian character ia without stain.
If the Democratic party shall nominate
q man for the same exalted position
bearing as clean record in morals and
sobriety as that Of Garfield, the nation
may well have cause to reloics. We
have known Brother GARFIELD person
ally for twenty-five years, and during
all that time have known him as an
humble Christian, unprstentious In his
professions, magnanimous and liberal
hearted, honest, faithful and philan-
thropic, with head and heart ready {
TO serve In the hHmblest cause OF hu'
manity. The last time We were in wash I
inGton City, We found him teaching
Bible class In the Supday.schsol OF :
very obscure church. He is one oil the
biggest hearted Christian men We ever
met. We have spoken these few words
In praise Of Brother Garfield as Chris
tian citissn, and net as politician, be-
cause we think our brethren at large
feels pleased that so distinguished an 8
honor has been conferred on one Of our
brethren.
