The New North.

Last Sunday, as previously an
nounced, Rev. G.. H. Wilson preached
on themes appropriate TO the day.
In the morning he dscoursed on
the New North, which he referred to
as a new generation now at the front,
in hearty accord with the results
wrought out by our recent war. But
Of that new generation the speaker
urged that it must not be supposed they
were or could be the possessors of any
ofthe bitterness of the days from 1850
to 1865. He took occasion to express
gratitude that the time had passed
when the old war feeling could be
used for political purposes to nye
great extent. lie declared the result
of the war to be the freedom of the
slave, and so an end to the competi-
ton between free and slave labor
in the land, and the cementlng of the
Union by the blood Of our defenders.
He insisted that the war, all which
led to it, all which was decided by it
should be studied with great care by
the generation of our present youth.
This, because the question of the
relation Of the Federal to the State
Governments was only so far settled
as to set the Nations denial to the
rights of States to secede, but the
maintenance of the relation of these
to each other is substantial and per-
petual in the Nation. He referred to
the questions ofmarriage and divorce,
temperance, and of labor agitations as
having a vital bearing on this
fundamental principle which must be
known to inteligently solve them in
the Naticn with the ballot. On these
principles he based his plea for the
the study ofall that statesmen thought
and said during the trying days Of
our national life, and the right to
freely talk about it by our young men
without being accused of disloyalty
to the fathers, or of striving to per-
petuate feelings which they Lave NOT,
never had, and never can have.
The evening discourse was a state
ment of the growth an objects of the
w. r. c., in which was shown the
peculiar ability Of such an organiza-
ton to do the work it undertook, and
statement of its work as he had
seen it here and elsewhere, closing
with an earnest plea to those present
to help it as best they could.

Christian Soldier.

BY invitation of Rev. w. M. Wal
ton, rector of Christ Episcopal church,
Quackenbush Post G.. A. r., accom-
panied by the Sons of Veterans and
the w. r. c., attended morning SER
vice at Christ church, on Sunday,
May 80. The church, aisle, vestibule
and gallery were closely filled and, it
is said, another congregation equally
as large were turned away from its
doors and overhowed into the sur
rounding churches, all of which had
good congregations. The front Of
the chancel and altar were most
tastefully decorated with flowers.
The service opened with the hymn
"My Soul be on thy guard" then
followed the Litany. The anti CON-
munion service was preceded by the
hymn "The Churches Our Founda.
tion," and followed by "Onward,
Christian Soldiers
The Rector selected for his texts
Rev. a, IL: "The lion of the tribe Of
Judah hath prevailed;" and Tim. 6,
IL: "Fight the good fight of faith.
Lay hold on eternal lite." He dis
claimed any intention of trenching
upon the province of the Orator of
Decoration Day. 1t was simply his
design to seize the occasion TO impress
upon the large congregation of men a
lesson valuable for truth and charity.
His peroration was as follows:
You call your life christian. Soldier
let me ask, is your light so shining
before men that others may be won
TO duty and God by your examplea
Indulge, perhaps, rare self exami-
nation in candid and impartial way.

says one, els better than 500 candles.
So one glowing and eminent christian
life is better than a whole church full
of tolerable christians" and a person
whose life is wholly deficient is a
source Of weakness rather than
strength. He swells the number, it is
true, but the good he does in this
way is more than counter balanced
by his Misrepresentation of christian
character ard the downward influence
of his example upon others in the
church. Then how and for whom
are you battling, oh, soldierl And
with what object. also let me ask? Is
it for God, goodness and fellowman,
or simply for a sensual paradisep
Ingersoll would fain have us believe

The Legal Bias.

This State very rightfully honors her
lawyers, and even cndeavors at times to
make statesmen of them. If the pcople
in thus honoring them would make fewer
of them legislators it is probable the
course of wholesome law-makinc would
be more smooth. Legal training is not
conducive to that broader view which
LOOKS upon society, not as an aggregate of
individuals bound together by an iron
system oflaws, but as pulsating body of
human beings with prcindices, likes, dis
likes and strong affections. Day by dav
we see our legal friends in the Legislature
rising to talk calmly of vested rights and
OF sacred contracts, when the people are
asking for measures of relief When
some appropriation or other is sought, our
lawyer legislator at once dives down into
HE law books to see if the claim is legal,
when tho question is, as it "A real and
honest claim n The people do not send
their representatives to Baton Rouge to
