press my utter contempt for them. On

and weighty.

A CHRISTIAN NATION.

We are Christian nation, and the
foundations of the r public are imbed-
ded in the conservative principles of
Christianity. Christianity alone is be-
neyoleut, and it alone bridges the
ehasm between wealth and poverty.
We have the powerful influence of our
common schools. We have the still
dominant influence of the Christian
Sabbath. We have beyond any other
land an extension of the higher ed Ica-
ton academies, colleges and universe
ties. We have our churches every
where, and a growing spirit Of co-Oper-
alton and a growing interest in the
hom missionary work-work by each
church separately as we'll as collective
ly-and by thousands of individuals.
The advance of atheism and agnosti-
cism with their fruits of despair and
anarchy, has reused the Christian pub
lie to the dangers that beset society.
and has given an interest and impetus
to Christian benevolence that has never
been felt before. We must push along
these lines. We must purify ami fos-
ter our 'mnon schools and push our
churches out into the districts occupied
10y the laboring population. The bat
tie is proyid-ntially forced upon MS so
that Christianity may develop her
power. She has "A new grasp upon hu-
man self,huess and can appeal to its
fears. Or resaura4s are adequate
we have but to apply the well known
principles of Christianity to our civil
and social relations TO solve the prob
lens that hay- heen forced upon us.
