Extracts from Christian Nsighbor
Old coronation" as a Battle Hymn.

Old Coronation as a Battle Hymn.
1t was Sunday; we were marching
to our first battle. We waded through
miles Of sand and numberless streams.
Overcome by the heat men dropped
from the ranks, and even horses fell
out by the way. TO nerve the heart
and quicken the step we sang the stir.
ring army songs. At last the cannon
were heard in our front, and we
knew the videttes were at work. We
soon smelt powder and thought Of
home. The men were foot-weary and
exhausted, and the power of song was
exhausted too. Suddenly the colonel
rode up to US, in company with the
general, and exclaimed, "For heavens
sake give them something to cheer
them on =! Instantly the grand old
conference hymn Coronation" came
to our minds:
"All hail the power OF Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE fall,
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him Lord OF all.'
We sent it forth, and it flew up and
down that extended column until the
whole army was inspired by the hymn.
The boys sped onward to battle as If
charged by a thousand galvanic bat.
teries; and while the heavens were
ringing with song the God of nations
seemed calling unto his angels to de-
scend and lead US on to victory. At
midnight the enemy had fled: and as
I lay with my head pil1owed on my,
gunstock, the full, round moon looked
down upon the living and the dead
seeming to say unto US, "The song for
the conference is the song for the ar
my."-Ddruis Cobb.
We confess to some surprise on find-
ing the above, even as selection, in
a column of that ably conducted paper
the Presbyterian, published in Phila-
delphia.
We heard during the war of carpets
being taken from church for the use
of the army, and of bell being taken
down from its place in the church
steeple and sent to the foundry to help
make cannons, and have heard and
read of other strange things being
done to aid in the destructive work of
war, but do not remember anything
to match in point of the proximity of
antagonisms, the singing of that
hymn to stimulate and urge an army
on to the wholesale slaughter of men
for whom as for themselves -"for ev-.
cry man"-Christ "tasted death'' and
was therefore "crowned with glory
and honor" ~. ., is
In the coronation "all power in
heaven and in earth" was given to,
the Son thereby making him of right
Prince and Savior, the blessed and on
ly Potehtate-King of kings and
Lord of lords-the principles of whose
kingdom are briefly comprehended in
this heavenly proclamation, viz: "On
earth peace, good will to men," To
sing hymn peculiar to the Corona
tion of the Son as the Prince Of peace
while the singers themselves with
quickened step are in outright rebel
lion against Him to whose honor and
glory they sing
"All hail the power Of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE fall, 80
Being forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord OF all.

Alackaday! Alackaday Il! Hetero-.
geneous, incongruous, antagonistic,
fail to describe such violent admix-
ture of light and darkness-of Chris
tian song and Belial deeds. It makes
no difference whether that army was
Federal or Confederate. Viewed In
the lightof Christianity the question
is not whether this side was in the,
right, but whether both were not
wrong in appealing to the sword?
Wrong in the beginning, wrong in
continuance, attended and followed by
all manner of evil. But why speak
of preluding one battle with one hymn.
while the system Of war in teaching,
practice and results is as clearly and
pointedly opposed to Christianity as
darkness is to light. The light shines,
but is it comprehended?

Tho Free Medical pispcnsary.

The free dispensary system is, nino parts
out of ten, al unmitigated nuisance. 1t Is
degrading to every patron who resorts
thither to avoid payment of reasonable fees,
and it is downright robbery of those mem
ters of the profession who are compelled to
begin practice in the poorer quarters and the
sparsely settled districts of u great city. The
patient who resorts to q free ~dispensary, at
ilacted by the name of some prominent ply
slcian or surgeon, learns too late that the
great man" is seldom seen in tho clinic
room; that he never comes except to use this
"clinical MATERIAL as illustrations of his lect-
urcS, and that the bulk of the practice is left
to the experimentation of students not vet
| physicians, or to the care of men Just out of
school who happen to have secured the favor
Of the great man." If the worthless char
acter of the medical attendance at some of
these places were generally known there
would be fewer patients taking such risks,
and self respect would be preserved, where
now, in many instances, the first step toward
the almshouse is taken by p%atronizing u free
dispensary. Many of these are in no sense
Free for charges are made for the mcdi

Grand DANES of pienne.

and hero it is that one looks in vain for the
frowsy headed, burly fish woman of Great
Britain, for the Nine. .Angots of France
are very careful of their appearance. SO,
too, are their grand danes, who are disposed
of throughout the whole market place,
wherever an unoccupied bushel basket or
particularly sunny nook may be found;

in the course of our rambles you will have
reason to wonderif you nave not accidentally
come across an enlarged edition of a certain
carving, seen but an hour or so ago, as the
case may be. There they sit, with white
starched caps flaring in the sun, immaculate
kcrchiefs folded demurely aroun the faded
throat, and the inevitable piece of knitting
to satisfy the restless hands that have SO long
been strangers to idleness. In this country
it is strikingly noticeable how differently
the peasants grow old i'll comparison to those
of other climates; the skin, which, in youth,
was soft and ruddy, becomes a peculiar nut
brown, marked by many deep wrinkles that
are particularly prominent because of the
remarkable wax like surface OH which they
are indented, and so it is small wonder that
these aged specimens of French humanity
are often mistaken. in a manner, for their
miniature fac-simileS in clay, to whom they
bear such Il striking resemblance.-Cor. Phil.

electricity is all used up the batteries are
