opposition of Eastern foes, the edangers
of surprise and massacre b he red
men, and the valor of these early set
tiers is amply proved. 10
The far sighted wisdom of these
founders of the West is worthy of all
praise. 1t was only by the tireless
efforts of Rev. DIR. Manasseh Cutler,
with members of Congress, that slavery
was forever prescribed in the North
west Territory, and again in 1862 his son
made the speech which defeated the
plans of those who strove to Introduce
human bondage into the STATS. From
the first education and religion were
generously fostered, and public land
was set apart for their support. Hardly
had the log cabin been completed,
before the schoolhouse and the church
were also built. All honor to the
noble-hearted men who gave to their
descendants the priceless eritage of
freedom, knowledge and Christian cul-
ture. To them is due in large measure
the present prosperity of the great
West and its untold possibilities of
future greatness.

upward and grows upward. The sun
is above and all things are drawn
toward him. This upward aspiration
of nature must quicken mans yearn-
ings for something better, must turn
his heart towards God, as the flower
toward the sum- When he looks
downward, every blade of grass points
him to the sky. When he gazes into
the lake, he sees the blue heaven over
head.
There is also message of hope from
my prophet, a suggestion of another
life. The same power that makes the
face of nature new, will make new the
life and soul of man. He is but
manifestation of the same energy that
fills the tree or plant. My God will not
treat me worse than he does the grass
of the field. Poor Job was sadly put to
it, when he exclaimed in despair,
"There is hope of tree if it be cut
down that it will sprout again, and
that the tender branches thereof will
not cease. Though the root thereof
wax old in the earth, and the stock
thereof die in the ground; yet through
the scent of water it will bud and put
forth boughs like plant" Yes, there
is hope of tree, but he asks, "Man
dieth and wasteth away; yea, he giveth
up the ghost and where is he?" From
how many hearts that same question
has arisen But the answer is in the
illustration. There is hope of a tree,
and because there is hope of tree,
there is hope of a man. The forces
that bring forth the new shoots and
leaves are pledged to bring forth from
the ruins of death new life for the
man

ences as an educator will be appreciat-
ed to the full, for intelligent men and
women constitute the court ard will
render an unbis sed decision.
The press of the country is beginning
to realize the necessity of laboring in
accordance with its highest convictions
of right. 1 cannot deny that it often
fails to do what it knows it should per-
form. l am forced to admit that it
sometimes panders to public opinion
when it clearly perceives that the
popular tide is running in the wrong
direction. Under such circumstances
it plays the part of coward when
strength and courage are most needed.
Just now, there exists a splendid op
portunity for it to rise to the full
measure of its high calling, to stand as
"a pillar of cloud by day and pillar of
fire by night" in leading enslaved
humanity from darkness to light. The
forward march has already begun and
we believe that it will steadfastly re-
fuse to pause in its determination to
lead public sentiment, to educate it,
broaden it, deepen it and strengthen it
until it resolutely steps forth in the
full majesty of its power resolved on
throttling and destroying the greatest
curse that now affects humanity,
giant evil that was terminated in the
shadows of superstition, nurtured to
stalwart strength in the dark bosom of
ignorance, and to-day assumes an at
titude of defiance in the open sunlight
of Christian civilization. L allude to
the saloon monster.
Oh hasten the glad time when the
flag which floats over a country where
the clanking chains of human slavery
are no longer heard, where every man
is king by divine right and is so
recognized by human authority, shall
refuse protection to the whitening
crime of intemperance.p

THREE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE SPANISH ARMADA.

No one need wonder that meetings
are at present being held in various
parts of our country in celebration of
the defeat of the Armada in 1888.
Probably no war since the world began
had more signal and far-reaching
results in the rebuke of the tyranny of
priestcraft and social Injustice than
that which was then waged in defence
Of our own land. The defeat of the
Armada broke the ideal that had been
cherished for centuries of aoman Cath
olic supremacy, and that It was super
naturally sustained and perpetuated.
This idea had drenched the streets of
many cities, and soaked the lands of
many nations with blood. The fleet
that started from Spain was to settle
at first sight the question Of the Pope's
authority over England For us here
greater question was never put 10
the arbitrament Of sword and cannon.
1t was the right to think and speak for
ourselves, to study religion and politics
without the overshadowing influences
of popes and priests. The battle,
thank God, was decided on the side of
liberty, and disenehanted the whole
world of the delusion that the hosts of
heaven, the Virgin, arr all the holy
angels, with the stars ir4their courses,
were ready to prop up Pope. The
defeat also broke the back and sealed
the fate of proud, prosecuting Spain.
The triumph of our arms was accepted
by many waverer between Papacy
and Protes tantism as the record of
Gods judgment that Professionalism
was not the thing he hated. The
smash and wreck and ruin of that con-
secrated fleet was a discourse that
reached the ears of millions, which
told them to consider, to bethink them
selves in the assertion Of the hope that
supernatural aid would be rendered to
suppress the work of religious reforma-
GAOh ohCh III PlOCCoos hCL9 again,
this triumph in the Channel gave to
England supremacy of the seas which
has been magnifcently used for many
noble purpose, and in more recent
years to free the slave, and to break
the power of the foulest oppre ssions
and the sum of all villainies. We
might speak, if we pleased, of the
splendor and success in trade and com-
merce it secured to our country and to
other countries, but we rather prefer
to name the freedom of thought, and
Of speech, and of religious fellowship,
that would never have been ours had
Spain conquered England, and the
supremacy of the Roman priesthood
been perpetuated. So, then, we justly
and thankfully remember what happen
ed three hundred years ago, the out
come of which has been to US, that
everyone can sit under his own vine
and fg-tree, can worship God accord
ing to the dictates of his own con-
science, none daring to make him
afraid Christian Life, London.
