The House OF God.

"For the Lord God is sun and shield: the
Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing
Will be withheld from them that walk up
rightly. q Lord of hosts, blessed is ihe man
that truSteth in Thee."-Ps1lm lrrriU. II, ~.
In this sweet Sabbatic psalm the
writer rejoices in the house of God. He
evidently loves the place of godly assem-
bly,, the place where prayer and praise
were offered by the united tribes of his
people. But, brethren. there was no
superstition in this love. He loved the
house of God because he loved the God
of the house. His heart and flesh cried
out, not for the altar and the candle
stick, but for his God. True, his soul
tainted for the courts of the Lord. but
the reason was that he cried out for the
living God, saying: when shall come
and appear before Godp" Brethren, it
is well to take an interest in the place
where you gather for worship. | am
always glad when brethren are moved
to contribute towards the necessary
maintenance OF the building and the
provision for its cleanliness and pro-
priety. | hate that God should be
served in slovenly way. Even the
place where we meet to worship should
show some sign of reverence for His
name. But still our respect for our
place of assembly must never degener-
ate into a superstitious reverence for
the mere structure, as though there
were some peculiar sanctity about the
spot, and prayer offered there would be
more acceptable than elsewhere. The
great object of desire must be to meet
with God Himself In hearing, the
point is to hear the voice of God In
singing, the charm is truly to please
the Most High. In prayer, the main
object is to plead with God, and so to-
l1Sy6a hat oiSs.Sry comes up, before him,

lect this, and never rest content with
merely going to a set place. Let us
reckon that we have failed if we have
not met with God. Let us come Mp
hther with strong desire for commun-
ion with the Lord in spirit and in
truth.
The Psalmist also knew right well
that the spiritual law runs through eve-
rything; he perceived that character is
an essential, not only to acceptable
worship, but to all real blessedness.
In our text he speaks not of those who
visit the temple, but of those who walk
uprightly, and trust in God. There is
no necessary blessedness in visiting tab.

What if they are not made to us? Then,

round majority, but two months are to elapee
before the battle is to be fought and in that
time our opponent. will leave no stone un-
turned in their vain endesvor to win-
II il a we'll known fact that when person
is continually crying fraud and bribery. that
such person, or party it may be, above all
others needs watching. Our opponents on all
occasions are making great hue and cry
about the money that is to be used the coming
fall, and by raising false cloud Of dust are
hoping to distract public attention from what
they themselves are contemplating doing.
They have nominated a distinguished gentle
man from this section of the State for Con-
gress because he is man OF wealth and
one who will put his hand in his pocket and
help grease the wheels of the democratic
coach No one for minute supposes that
Anderson or Adams or Frank would have
taken themselves out of the way if they sup
posed that the mixed ticket stood any chance
of an election.
But no matter as to the State at large.
York county is to have hard fought battle
of her own. In the last election the republi-
can majority was but SO over the fusion
nominee. This year the fusion leaders make
their boast that they will sweep the county
and thus do their part to secure the election
Of democratic Senator TO succeed Hon. VIM.
T.. FRYE. They are strongly organized. The
Bfddeford gentleman who manages the fusion
campaign in this section of the State, has
been schooled in the peculiar politics of York
county for years. He knows every town and
village within its borders, he will have
pecuniary help from outside and will do his
utmost TO further the success. Of the con-
glomerati0n ticket.
There is but one way to checkmate his
plans and purposes and that is simply by
thorough organization of the republican
voters in every section of the county. If we
poll our full vote we are absolutely sure of
sweeping victory. II every republican will
constitute himself minute man and will de-
vote little Of his time TO further the prin-,
ciples which he believes are conducive to
good government there will be no doubt as
10 the result.
See to it that the name OF every republican
voter is on the check lists correctly, and see
that every young republican who has become
of age since the last election is also properly
registered. Every one has an influence be it
great or small, and there is no republican
but what can help in some degree to win the
victory which surely awaits us in September,
if he wilHbut devote little of his time to the
good work.

The Egyptian War.

The first act in the EgyptianWar closes
with the destruction of Alexandra and the
escape Of Arab Bey and his forces from
the city. The big guns Of the British YES
sells accomplished all that was expected
Of them. The forts of the enemy went
down before their fire as though con-
structed of pasteboard. Nothing could be
more satisfactory as an experiment with
heavy guns and armor clad vessels than
the attack by Admiral Seymour.
But when this is said there is little more
that can be uttered in praise of the work
30 far done BY the British. An elegant
city, more than two thousand years old,
containing a population of 10000 per-
sons, has been burned and sacked. thou
sands Of foreigners who resided within its
limits have been massacred. and the native
residents have mostly fed to other parts
Of the country to escape impending pill
lage and death. 1t is not surprising that
John Bright with his firmly fixed detesta-
ton of war should upon reading the ac-
counts of the destruction and misery caused
by the bombardment and sack of Alexan-
dria have resigned his seat in the British
Cabinet. II will be surprising if Eng
lishmen who are not opposed to war on
principle are not inquiring if the destruc-
ton of Alexandria was necessary for the
British, and what good results have been
accomplished by it in a military point of
view.
There is an opinion widely expressed
and sanctioned by respectable military
authority. that the bombardment Of the
citv without eifectuaI measures in concert
To prevent the escape of Arab Bey
and his forces was blunder Of the first
magnitude The capture or destruction
Of the Egyptian leader and forces would
have ended the war so far as the national
party in Egypt is concerned; but the
destruction of the city and the British Adj
miral holding sway over the ruins settles
nothing. The Arab chief and his army
are in the open country, there is no British
land force to interrupt their progress, and
they may take heir way to Cairo which is
strongly fortified. gathering strength to
their standard as they advance. 1t is sur
missed that Arab Bey will aim at the
destruction of the Suez Canal, and so far
as is known the British have no force that
can prevent the accomplishment of that
purpose II he should attempt it. 1t
must take the British some time
to get sufficient military strength in
the country to cope with the Egyptians.
In the meantime the latter may prepare for
n stubborn defence at Cairo, with retreat
in view il necessary to the vast plains Of
Upper Egypt. The British have captured
