The strife of battle RACES round us;
Hark! hark contending legions meet!

Can mortal man alone defeat?
From Judah's tribe Lion spriuginR
Their standard-bearer tramples down
And conquers Death. and takes his crown

Hark! bark! the musterroll hear!
Your names are called, the cause demands you!
Arise! and answer with cheer!
The prisoners long In darkness lying
Have heard Savation's glorious strains!
And come from dungeon, darkness, chains,

The Lion hath prevailed
His foes-they fly abroad!
March ont march on! We sons of light
And take the world for God
March onward, comrades! no surrender!
Break break! through all opposing powers!

The while we build her walls nd towers,
Pour out your prayers your tears. your treasur es
dying world around you pleads
For mighty faith and noble deeds,
And sing in glad, triumphant measures
The Lion hath prevailed!

Strike tents! march on! all hearts resolved
To take the world for God!
Ye sons of Israel, wake to glory
On! on! with all subduing might!
And let the nations learn the story
How Judahs Lion won the fight!
He'll come again, the heavens rending,
And lead his own beyond the skies
To thrones and crowns in paradise,
Redeemed! and singing while ascending
The Lion hath prevailed!

Come home! come home! we sons of light,
Who won the world for God!

The exposures in Philadelphia of the
dissertation of grave yards for the benefit
of the medical schools led to the enactment
of a law similar to that which has long
been on the Massachusetts statute
books and which permits the unclaimed
bodies of deceased paupers, under care
full regulations, to be used in the interests
of science. But there seems to be lack
of delicacy in Pennsylvania about putting
the new law in practice. Some of the
medical colleges have shipped lot oil
collins to the Reading almshouse which are

naupers are considerable enough to die. 1t
IS not strange that this open and ostenta
tious preparation for business on the part
of the doctors is not relished by the Berks
county paupers, Dissection alter death
hurts no one, but the knowledge during
life that your coffin is stored near by and
marked for the dissection table is a most
wauton touch of inhumanlty.

| The ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAs.-Ch Christmas
looks out at US from the dim shadow oil
the groves of the Druids who knew not
Christ, and it is dear to those who now
renounce the name of Christian. The
Christmas log, which Herrick exhorts mis-
merrie, merre boys to bring with noise
to the firing, is but the Saxon Yule-log
burning on the English hearth, and the
blazing holiday temples of Saturn shine
again in the illuminated Christian churches.
1t is the pagan mistletoe under which the
Christian youth kisses the Christian maid
1t is the holly of the old Roman Saturnalia
which decorates Bracebrdge Hall on
Christmas eve. The huge smoking baron
Of beef, the flowing oceans of ale, are but
The survivals of the tremendous eating and
drinking of the scandinavian Walhalla.
The Christian and anti Christian feeling
blend in the happy season, and the Chris
tian observance mingles at every point
with the pagan rite. 1t is not easy to say
where the paganism ends and the Chris.
tianity begins. The carols and the wassail,
the prayers and the games, the general
hospitality, Hobbyhorse and the Lord of
Misrule, Maid Marian and Santa Claus,
are curious medley of the old and new.
As the religious thought of all ages and
countries, when it reaches a certain eleva
ton, flows into an expression which makes
the scriptures of the most divergent
nations harmonious, the history of this
happy festival is evidence of the common
humanity of the earlier races; and the
stranger in Braceprdge Hall musing by
the glowing hearth on Christmas eve, as
he watches the romping revelry beneath
the glistening berries, and listening to me
waits caroling outside in the moonlight,
or as he is wakened on Christina morn
ing by the hushed patter of ehildrens feet
in the passage, and the shy music of chill.
,lrens voices at his door, may well seem
to hear a more celestial strain, and to
catch deeper meaning in the words,

is the Greek letter CHI, corresponding to
