New Haven Palladium: Not long ago we
went to q certain church to seek the spiritusl
consolation to be obtained from the devout
worship and praise Of God, especially hoping
to be lifted up to higher life by the singing
of some grand, old, simple hymn. We had
been in the richly upholstered pew and staring
at the painted windows but . few moments
when the organ suddenly hushed, and in Q dis
tant corner Of the church, four fsshionably
dressed ladies aud gentlemen arose and sang
And this is what they sang:
God 10 spirit: God is spirit; and they that wor-
ship him. and they that Worship him, aud they that
worship him must worship him In spirit and In

The Song of Solomon


The religious people Of St Louis are excited
by newspaper controversy about the book in
the Bible known as The Song of Solomon
The more conservative among the clergy say
that it is as much inspired as any other book
in the Bible; that Solomon wrote it; that it is
an categorical picture Of the mystical union Of
Christ and His church; and that every one
One Of these, the Rev. DR.. Brootes.
thus explains the meaning Of the book:
"It is called the Song of SOL
onion; elsewhere we read that he made over q
thousand songs, but this was pre-eminently his,
setting forth in tho glowing language Of the
Orient the all-consuming love OF God for his
people. 1t has always heen so understood, aud
tho loveliest and pure I'll sons have been drawn
from meditation upol it 1t is true it has suf-
fereu somewhat at tho uands of the old trans
lators, away back IN King James time. They
used language that was harsh and rough, words
that are not permissible IN the polite parlance
of to. day."
The Rev. John Snyder who represents the
opposite view, says: "There is no evidence to
show that the book is the work Of Solomon. It
was most probably written by Northern poet,
who had no great regard for Solomon; Of course
the great kiug' mentioned in it is Solomon.
the North was always restless under Solomon's
reign, and if it had not been for his great OK
ecnuve ability, rebellion would have broken
out before his death. The people there
had no fancy for paying taxes for a cap
its! which they never saw, and when he died
and his son came to the throne thev said:
Well have no more of this sort If thing and
as he would not make them the concessions
they asked, they seeded All this talk about
mystical or allegorical Interpretation is nom
sense. It is as though you were to cay Of
Hamlet or any other work, that the author
did not intend to describe actuaities, but to set
forth certain philosophical or other principles
under the guise Of play, poem or other writ
ing."

Religious Liberty in Pennsylvania.

Religious Liberty in Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia Record: The seton Of the
house Of Representatives in defeating the pass
age of Bill No. 80, exempting all observers Of
the seventh day as the Sabbath from the penal
ties of the Sunday law Of 1894, is sad COM
ment u on the intelligence Of the Lawmakers
OF Pennsylvania. For the past eight years
similar law has been intro duced in the senate,
and in 1881 it lacked but one vote Of passing
that body. This year it was defeated In the
senate committee, but was reported
to the house, and on Thursday came
up on second reading. It was supported in an
from Bedford county, where large numbers Of
Seventh. day people reside, and also by Hon.
Emanuel Furth Of this city, but was opposed
by Rev. James NELL, q local Methodist preacher
Of the Fifteenth ward, by Hon. Jacob Zsigler
of Butler comfy and Hon. Nathaniel Horne Of
Cambria county. The bill was defeated by 81
yeas to $50 Maya

been passed before in other States
there might be some slight excuse for hest
tation to pass such an exemption law in Penn
sylvania; but it is not trial case In eighteen
States of the Union where Sunday laws exist,
exemption laws have been passed granting to
observers Of the seventh day as the Sabbath
entire freedom from fines and imprisonment if
they work on Sunday. Whether Messrs Neill,

An Equestrian Statue Of General Lee.

General Jubal A. Early has written a long
letter in regard to the erection of the proposed
monument to General Robert E. Lee, in which
he makes this proposition If forty mine gen.

tribute the sum of 81 600, to be paid into some
bank in the city of Richmond. and placed I'M
der the control of gentlemen of undoubted
responsibility and integrity, 50 that there may
be NO danger of its loss, and that then an artist
be selected by a committee to be appointed by
the contributors to the said fund for the pur-
pose of executing in bronze an equestrian statue
of General Lee which, when completed, is to
be placed upon q pedestal in some suitable pub
lie ground in Richmond, say Monroe Park.
The Capitol Square in its present condition
does not furnish any suitable location for such
statue, and it never will furnish such location
unless the governors house is removed or the
square extended cut to Broad street, between
