Skandinavians.

There are said to be /, 800, 900 Skan-
dinavians in the United States, mostly
in the Northwest. One-fourth of the
population of Minnesota, and large
part of that of Dakota and Wisconsin,
belong to the race of the Vikings. 1t
is no SANDER upon others to say that,
all in all, these are the best class of
foreigners that reach our shores. They
are industrious, law-abiding, frugal, re-
ligious, and are not converts to the con-
tinental ideas of the Lords day so rife
among Catholics and German free
thinkers. The Skandinavians are mostly
Lutheran, but are peculiarly open to
the gospel, when Christ is preached to
them. A schism in the state church of
Sweden shows the yearning for more
spiritual religion. This movement,
which now numbers four hundred
churches and one hundred thousand
members, is protest against an uncon-
verted membership. 1t holds that no
one who does not give evidence of con-
version should be allowed church men,
bership or to approach the communion
table, and it still more emphatically in
sists that all preachers and pastors must
be converted men. The missionaries of
the Methodists and Baptists have also
met with great success among the peo-
Pile of Sweden. One of the most prom
ising fields for missionary operations
in the world is presented among the
Skandinavians of our Northwest
Christian Evangelist.

Religion is Holiness.

Feeling is of just as much use in re-
ligion as steam is in an engine-if it
drives the engine, it is good; but if it
does not, it is not good for anything
but to fizz and hiss and buzz. There
are some people who seem to be like
yard-engines that never go anywhere,
but keep putting, and blowing, and hiss
ing, and running up and down side
tracks, doing nothing, going nowhere.
Feeling, in religion, is of no value at all
if it does not propel us along the track
of duty toward our final destination
God. Fine feelings, glorious feelings
we all have them after our measure;
but fine feelings, quick responsive sem
sibilities-do you not know that they
have been the occasion of the ruin of
some of the greatest geniuses that God
ever gave to the human racer Feeling
is amiserable, cheap substitute for duty.
1t takes more than being happy on Sun
day in church to be religious. My
friends, religion never stops short of
holiness. 1t means that, first and last.
Religion does not stop at feeling; re-
ligion does not stop at tradition, or at
responsibility, or at ecclesiasticism, or

The Cynically CensOriOus.

There is great danger in seeking to
reform abuses lest the reformer him
self may soon need reformation. A
man conscious of higher plane than
others occupy, and who feels himself
looking down on those around him,
easily can come to condemn and de-
spise them, though they are men like
himself, and as men, Notwithstanding
their perversiOn, are worthy of his con-
slant reverence. In this he poisons
the core of his own moral life. No
man can despise another without be-
coming himself despicable. The con-
slant fault-fnder is pretty certain him
self to sink into the very faults which
he condemns. A cynical, carping spirit
which says, Stand aside, for l am holier
than thou, Pharisaic, self-righteous
spirit, which thanks God that it is not
as others are, may often put itself in
the front rank of reformers, but it is
not of such stuff that high and lasting
reforms are originated or consummated.
The greatest of all reformers, whose
words and work are the most potent
agency in the renovation and uplifting
of society the world has ever known.
gave the key to all genuine reform in
his wondrous words-alas that they
should often seem so little heard"
judge no man; for l came not to judge
the world, but to save the world" He

the way is straight. Julius II. Seelye

Birthdays in the Family.

The birthdays of great men-of
kings and princes-are always remem-
bered with honors. But it is not my
purpose to write of these, but of the
birthdays which come round every year
in our own homes. We are nation of
families and, more than most other ma
tons, live within our homes. Our
richest joys are found within the family
circle. Parents and children, brothers
and sisters, are more to each other than
all the outside world. Duties may take
them away from the place of their
birth, still the dear old home-where
life had its beginning, where the bright
and happy days of childhood were
passed-will be enshrined in the atfec-
lions of all loving hearts. Home life
is not prison life. 1t does not seclude
one from the society of other homes.
1t does not lock his door against gen.
eral companionships Nothing could
be more selfish and dreary than a home
which should refuse to mingle with life
in neighboring homes. Parents who
do not allow their children to associate
with others of their age, do an irrepar-
able wrong to young minds which re-
quire contact with those of their like.
