AN OPINION


The Boston Herald, which is not ''all
taken up" with any candidate, in COM
menting upon the outlook, says:
''We still believe that Elihue b.
Washburne stands as good chance as
any of them to be nominated by the
Republicans. Supposing Grant. just
misses it, who is more likely to come
to the font than the man who invent
ed Grant. who has been out of recent
fights, who would get all the German
votes, who has splendid record for
honesty and economy-the old watch
dog of the treasury! Every good
Judge says at once that Washburne is
the strongest candidate named. An
eastern man transplanted in the west,
he combines all the strong points of a
candidate. 1t serves purpose to talk
about Edmonds and to vote for him, for
he is a clean man of the best type, but
| when the leading machine fayorites
Ill n have been sent to the shades,
a Sll,'-i will be more likely to come
into the light tina. al" ' Gould We 50 vel weI,

UPoN the true Interpretation of IL
ligion, Henry Ward Beecher says:

UPON IHe True interpretation OI IT
ligiOn, Henry Ward Beecher says:
Religion is not a certain deposit
which is dropped like an odOr0us gum
out of the heavenly land, that when a
man has received his depositum he is
fragrant forever. That is not relig-
ion. / hear men say that they have
got religion. One would think they
swallowed it. They have got religion,
they say, as it were a magnificent dia-
mond they had come into possession
of. They have got religion; as if it
were joining some society of honor
Now, no man ever got religion; if he
ever had any, he lived it. Religion is
nothing but right conduct springing
from right motives. 1t is the right
organization of a man according to
Gods original laws of nature, as they
relate to the body, to the social affec-
tions, to the moral sense, and to the
sphere of the mind; and this cannot
be got any more than you can go to a
store or an academy md buy an edu-
cation. You can buy diploma: but
an education you can not buy. Relig-
ion is something that is to be had by
the moulding of the whole man to a
higher pattern, the eXemplar of which
is the Lord Jesus Christ: SO that when
men say they have got religion, what
they mean is that they have hope"
