The COyenanters.

The general synod Of the Reformed
Presbyterian or Covenanters, has adopted
unanimously resolution reaflirming the
conviction held by them, that the con-
stitution of the United States Is virtual
agreement to administer the government
without reference to Christianity, and
that IL would, therefore, be an act of
disloyalty to their religion to take part In
the government by casting their ballots.
This idea that they ought not to vote for
civil rulers, is the chief point OF differ
ence between the Covenanters and the
United Presbyterians, and strange to say
they seem to grow more firm in their
opinion year by year. A policy based on

tious thought, commands respectful at

cause it cannot consistently admit that
religion should not dominate In all hu-
man affairs, may be smiled upon as be-
hind the times, but should rather be
praised for the bold honesty, fearless Of
ridicule that is one Of the rarest Of vir.
tuee.
The criticism Of the Covenanter5 calls
for no new treatment of the much dis
cussed and well accepted principle Of the
separation of church and state, but 1t
should draw attention to the great change
in the character Of the people, which is
In fact the measure and guage Of the

from further development in the written
law Of the land. Perhaps it was because
Of the deeply sacred character of this
sentiment that 1t did not affect the form
OF government in more marked degree,
for men are not as q rule, disposed to
talk much Of the things they hold most
sacred, and that influence their lives
most seriously. However that may be, a
traveller in these days would hardly be

emotions Of the voting population, and
the motto on our coinage seems triile
too sanctimonious for the spirit of the
age. The Covenanters have reminded us
that we as nation are not as good as

stltution, and government by the peo.
pie can be no no better than the people.

what Age Does.

Age is creeping upon General Sherman,
with its confounded imperfections. lie
Is losing his memory. He finds that he
was invited to that Grand Army per-
Torrance In New York as long as three
months ago. 1t was 30 long ago that he
forgot 1t. His secretary forgot 1t, too.
The general explains that he gets SO
many invitations that IL is not surprising
that he should not carry them all In his
head. Perhaps 1t $50. And he need not
do it, if he does not make row about ",
when he thinks he has been overlooked.
People who get invited to everything
naturally, doubtless get to sighting
their invitations but it seems to hurt
them all the more when they think that
thsy are slighted. General Sherman Is
not tripped up in this Grand Army mat
ter by his lapse Of memory 80 much
q, by his manifestation Of w,unt |
self esteem. 1t is hard for man
to be calm when he is kicked /;
and there is no particular noei fol
him to be; only he needs to be par
ticularly certain that he has been kicked
by somebody else than himself.

The letter repeats this thought In several
