CRITICISM AND COMMUNICATION.



WASHINGTON CITY, April 21.-During the
consideration of the pension bill in the house
Friday Henderson of Iowa alluded to the re-
cent action of the house in regard to the sur
plus resolution, calling the attention of the
president to the fact that the only limitation
to the time when claims should be filed was
in an appropriation bill, the same as the
authority, recently confirmed, for the pur-
chase of bonds with the surplus. If the adj
ministration was logical and consistent he
had no right to withhold arrearages of pen
sions He appealed to the administration to
be consistent, and come up like ttle man
and allow arrears of pensions to the boys who
filed their claims within the provisions of the
act He sent to the clerks desk and had
read an article in a Chicago paper to the
effect that Commissioner Black had ordered
"A Mexican pension to Col w. r. Morrison,
who had not asked for it, and who returned it,
Mcdonald of Minnesota denied the truth of
the statement, and Morrisons letter was sent
to the clerk desk and read. In it he stated
that he returned the certificate, and that he
was at loss to know how it had been issued,
as he had not asked for it and did not con-
template doing so.
After some further discussion Foran of
Ohio congratulated the country that it had a
chief executive who was prescriptions in
his Interpretation of the law, rather than
reckless The Mexican pensions were service
pensions, and the applicant had only to prove
that he served in the Mexican war and was
G2 years of age. Such claims could be passed
upon rapidly.

Mistaken Devotion,

In one of the great temples in Japan the
devotion of the worshipers consists il
running around the sacred building one
hundred times, and dropping piece Of
wood into box at each round, when the
wearisome exertion being ended the wor-
shipper goes home tired and very happy
at the thought of having done his Goo
such worthy service. Are there not some
Christians whose activity is very similar
to this, of about as much value? They
are on the street, running to all sorts OF
meetings, and ever busting from place
to place. They feel and talk as if they
were rendering most valuable service,
and solace themselves III their WEAKNESS
with the comfort that they are doing great
good aud will hava rich reward. Yet
really they accomplish nothing. Their
exhausting labor is really ouly running
round and round the temple; no cause
advanced by it Gods name is not honored
by it.
