Pertinent Remarks Concerning True
 Religion.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
 I was much interested in the sermon preached by Dr. .Hawes last Sunday as reported in this paper, and as look over my New Testament am surprised that there are no prohibitions against theatre going and dane ing, for we know that at that time they were far more immoral in their tendencies than ct the present day. But do find that t'f any man among you seem to be religious and bridleth not his tongue-this mans religion is vain, 7" and wonder how persons who re- peatedly and constantly. talk against those who are members of the same church, whose own minister even is not exempt from their slanderous tongues, can rightfally claim membership in the church of Christ. read also that no drunkard, nor thief, nor liar can enter the kingdom of God. If not, what right have they in the church of Christ here below? And they are in the church. in ''good and regular standing, for, according to Webster, thief is sone who takes the property of another wrengfully, one who makes it his business to cheat and defraud, |" and are there not many BOW in the church and even in official positions there, who, rather than pay their honest debts, will live and dress well, and take frequent pleas ure trips on money rightfully belonging to others, whose property IS placed in the name of the wife or some friend, to prevent those who have the right to it from claiming it, and whose influence in the church is worse than nothing because of these things. f
 Webster defines 8 liar as tone who de- clares to another as fact what he knows to be not true, and with an intention to deceive him.'' Does not that apply to those who promise what they know they cannot per- form, and misrepresent the merchandise they have for sale? As to the poor drunkard, I believe the strongest "woe" is pronounced against him who ''putteth the cup to his lips,' who causeth "weak broth pr to offend," and selfshly disregards the golden rule"
 Rid the church of these and let none such be admitted to membership, and the church will f'arise and shine" in it's purity, and we ,an leave theater-going and dancing to take ,are of themselves. LUX.

At recent meeting in Birmingham Eng land, the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain. M. F., made an interesting address on educa- ton in which he said he did not believe in cheap school buildings.

NOT DECIDED.

A hungry man in search of work No honest labor scorning; And many mile had travelled he That sultry sumnsr morning. And now, as he drew near the houss With fear and apprehension, These merry, laughing little ones Arrested his attention. With cheerful heart he trudgsd along, But, as he reached the door, Was startled by such sounds as he Had never heard befores It seemed as though within that house storm was fiercely raging, Or savages in bitter strife Were then and there engaging. He knocked, and then there came Iull- calm the storm succeeding; The door was opened by man Whose face was torn and bleeding. A womanis hands clutched in his hair, Her face adorned with scratches Upon the floor great spots of gore And tufts of hair in patches. Around the room the crumblins walls We're battle-stained and battered; And broken chairs and crockery ware Promiscuously were scattered. s'Are you the boss T" the traveller asked, As they again collideds ''That question, stranger" said the man, "As yet is undecided"

A Duel With BasebslIs.

A young American at Dusseldorf,
Germany, was pestered to fight duel
by German companion, for no reason
except that the German thought the
Yankee should make record, and
finally accepted. The American was an
expert with that most deadly of mis-
siles, the baseball, and, to the amuse-
ment of the whole college, chose it as
his weapon, and prescribed the ordi-
nary pitching distance for the fight,
leaving his rival to chose what weapon
he pleased. After the word was given
the challenger was carried from the
field, not fatally wounded, but doubled
up like one with the cholera, and howl
ing like stuck pig. The Yankee re-
ceived no more challenges in that in.

Beside the striking phenomena of
nature, says traveller, there is little
to be seen during the long ride across
the plains. except in and near the
miserable Russian villages that are
dotted every ten or fifteen miles along
the route. For few we ks before
the long season of religious feasts it is
the custom of the young people to get
married, and the more the merrier. In
a score of villages through which we
passed weddings seemed to be the only
occupation going on. Sledges, driven
by wreath-crowned peasants, crowded
to the fullest extent with girls of all
ages from six to thirty, all singing
with unpleasantly high, screeching
voices, pass back and forth along the
village streets or are driven in process
sion around the old little wooden
church. The older peasants, the rela-
lives of bride and bridegroom, stay in
side and get dead drunk in honor of
the occasion. In one post-house we
were caused long delay by the old
postmaster having drunk himself silly,
though only little after neon; by
night he would either have the delirium
tremens or be found by the traveller
rolling outside in the snow. Of ami
NAL life in the village streets you see
On sunny days all the cattle of the
community standing close up against
| the walls of the houses on the
warm side Of the street, getting
all the comfort they can out
Of the sunbeams. OF fellow tray
elers you meet but few at the post
houses along the road in winter time.
In these resting-places there is always
one room set apart for travellers, where
you may sleep through the night on
the hard benches if you choose without
any payment whatever being exacte'.
In our journey of thousand miles the
number of travellers we met could be
counted on the fingers. At one station
we found Russian officer AMI his wife
occupying two sofas of the guest room.
At another we met an entire family
who had spent six weeks on the road
from Irkutsk to Troisk. The husband,
man of about forty, had occupied a
post as cashier in bank at Irkutsk,
and was going to St. Petersburg to seek
a new and more genial climate. He
was accompanied by his wife,
little child and an old nurse.
One child, little girl, he
told us, had been taken sick at Krans-
ne,arsk, and there she had died and
lad been buried. At another station
we met an cd government employe,
tottering and feeble, who had spent
thirty years of his life in Irkutsk, and
had finally obtained influence enough
to get himself removed to st. Peters
burg, where he hoped to end his life
among his friends He was sorrow
ful-looling wretch, and had had the
misfortune to be robbed on his way by

French Canadian Peasants.

The eRch-Canadian peasants are
generally rather small, but sturdy
muscular, well-knit. They are dull
looking, but their rather heavy faces
are not animal and coarse Even the
young women are very seldom pretty,
but they are all wholesome, modestand
unaffected. As they advance in life
they become stout, and reach old age
with a comfortable and placid express
sion. The beauty Of the race seems ta
be confined to the children, who ara
bright, robust and cherubic. Thus the
people are externally unprepossessing
but the more 1 study them the more
l ike them for the quiet courtesy and
perfect simplicity of their manners.
and their hospitality and unfailing
kindness.
Several types Of Canadians were
there, each standing as page of the
country's history. There was the
original Canadian. the peasant of Nor
mandy and Brittany, just as he was
when first landed on the shores Of the
st. Lawrence over 200 years ago; hs
has kept his material and mental traits
with such extraordinary fidelity that
Canadian travelling now in those
parts Of France seems to be meeting
his own people. He is asmall, muscu
lar man of dark complexion, with black
eyes, round, rather impervious, and
an honest face, rather heavy with in
ertia. He sums up the early days Of
Canada, when endurance and courage
Of no ordinary stamp were required to
meet the want, the wars and the hard
ships Of their struggle. And his phe-
nomenal conservatism was not whit
too strong to preserve his nationality
after the conquest of Canada by race
having entirely opposite tendencies.
There also was the Canadian with
Indian blood; he is by no means
feeble element in the population, in
either numbers or influence. He is
often wen marked with Indian fea-
tures-high cheeks, small black eyes
and slight beard. The most character
istic specimens are called "petits
