His War Record. e.

MY kingdom is not of this World.
If my kingdom ayere of this s0orld,
then a0o1ld my servants tght." = I, &.
The greatest upholder of the Peace
question uttered the sentence given
above many years ago; the continue,
ton of the verse is "7Rat I should not
be delivered to the Jeaus." ..r 81
What stronger reason could q Chris
tian, or servant of Christ, have for
fighting, than the one just given?
Should they not resist to the death the
imprisonment and murder of their
Heaven-sent leader? Where is the
Christian to-day, that, were Christ on
earth, would not take up arms to pre-,
vent wicked men from binding and
leading Him to certain death? To-
put it more strongly, would they not
actually feel as if they had practically 1
denied Him, and been accessory to His
murder, thus resigning all claim on,
the calling of Christian, if they had
stood quietly by, and seen Him led
away captive, without interference?
Christ forbids any such interference,
and regards obedience to His word as {
higher duty than the resisting of evil.
How many honest Christians realize
the full force of this lesson? In the
writings of one of our prominent
preachers and teachers, lately issued
in o volume, he speaks of the opening
of India to Christianity by arms, as
the method chosen by God for the
propagation of the Gospel. This SEN
timent is in singular contrast to
Christ's own teachings as represented
by the verse above quoted, John 18th
chapter, 36th verse. Why could He
not have over-ruled for good resistance
in this cause when He was on earth,
just as well as He does now, and re- I
lieved His servants from the miserable
feeling that they had left Him in the
hands of evil men? Fighting is not
His way of spreading the truth. He
says, "My servants, do not fight"
The inference is obvious, if they should
not fight even to deliver him, whose
bodily presence they loved SO well on
earth, they certainly could not fight to
plant in blood and violence the mes
sage of His Gospel. Obedience is bet
ter than sacrifice, yet men are looked
on with admiration who have sacri- !,
feed or thrown away (for sacrifice is
something that is called for), their
lives, in disobedience to His command
Resist not evil." War in this Nom
Christian World may be unavoidable,
but Christians should not participate
in it, should not uphold it, and should
speak against it at every opportunity.
A body of men going to conquer heath
en- lands with a pocket Bible in one
hand and q sword in the other, look
like imperfect servants, and merit our
SaYiour's rebuke, "Ye knoW not a0laat
manner of spirit ye are, for the Son Of
Man came not to destroy mems tiues,
but to save thena."

Dear Master, let 1t be,

or quiet, happy rest.
Another year OF mercies,

Another year of progress,
Another year OF praise,
Another year Of proving
Thy presence ''all the days."

On earth, or else In heaven,
Another year for thee!

New Years Eye.
BY WILLIAM C. RICHARDS.

Come, let us pause, o! soul of mine,
And retrospect the passing year;
1t Ia not, like thyself, divine
Twill die and never re.appear.
It has been just gasp Of breath.
A sharp convulsive clutch Of Time;
Yet long enough for strife and death,
And large red vintages OF crime.
And long enough-to God be praise!-
For victories to the sword unknown
Wreathed with no garniture Of bays,
And registered in Heaven alone.
or these would 1 commune with thee,
o! soul, the while the old year dies;
Have we been crowned with victory
In this years story for the skies?
Let slip the cunning strings that play
The puppets Of our daily mask;
Earth's gains and losses put away
The hour BELTS loftler task
We have been eager to obtain
What transient treasures we could seize;
But these In our review are vain
Heaven makes the least account Of these
The starry fields beyond the sun;
The legends In the rocks we read;
The lore from exhumed cities won
Dogma and theory and creed:
All these are naught in the account
We pass tonight In close review;
Vain are the streams from fab1ed fount
That flow In story, old or new,
What have we done that will endure
When thrones and crowns unstable prove
What gained Of worth, so rich and pure,
Time may not mar 1t, nor remove?
Not for name that men should speak
With false applause, have we wrought
we'll:
That were ambition vain as weak.
How weak, how vain, let History tell!
II self be less, and God is more,
Within our aim to glorify-
II sins that we have loved before,
By Heavens sweet grace we now deny
If kindness in our bosom hides
The faults Of others with its veil
II love to God and man abides
In force, when wit and wisdom fail;
If something OF the Heaven above
We've gained for all OF earth we missed,
And kept the Masters law by love,
We have not lived In vain Wist-
God knows how many, or how few,
or victories such as these we've won;
We only know that each is due
To grace He gave us through His Son.
Let us not count our conquests then,
Lest they be fewer than we deem;
But gird ourselves, o soul, again,
To be the victors we may seem.
Then let the year in silence die,
While we with silent lips implore;
Our follies with Its breath may fly,
And grace abound TO us the more!

WASH SADIRoNs.-Wash sadirons
each week before putting them on to
heat. There will then be no danger OF
clothes being soiled in the ironing.
The starch is very apt to stick to them,
and unless washed off carefully each
week, is almost sure to soil damp
pieces, even if the irons are rubbed be-
fore using them.

THE DEADLY OvERCOAT.
A Justification of the Sensible Man Who
Don't Wear One.

A Justification of the Sensible Man Who
Don't Wear One.
We protest against the indiscrimi-
nate use of the thick and heavy over
coat. We would rather see men in
fairly robust condition, especially if
young, clad warmly next the skin, and
wearing either light top coat or none
at all. There can be no doubt that the
habitual use of great coats is indirectly
accountable for the chilis which they
are intended to prevent. Were the
overcoat worn continuously it might
attain its object. Its intermittent use,
even when ample underclOthing is
worn, affords no solid guarantee safety.
but rather the reverse.
The man of sedentary habits has es-
pecial need to remember this. He
emerges daiS from a warm breakfast
room clothed in his ordinary winter
garments, with probably woolen under
wear, and over all the heavy ulster or
top coat. After walk he finds that
the sense of warmth he began with is
more than maintained. He arrives at
his Office or place of business, and off
goes the overcoat, though the air of
the newly-opened room is as cold as
that without, and draughty in addi-
tiOn. During the day perhaps he
travels to and from adjacent business
houses wearing only his house cloth
ing. The overcoat is laid aside till
closing time reminds him of the jour
ney home The frequent result is that
somehow, between the hours of his de-
parture and return, he is chilled. No
doubt, he would run as great risk if,
lightly clad, he were to face the rigor
of a winter day In this case, how
ever, exercise and habit might do
much to develop the power of endur-
ance, and there would, at all events,
be less danger of sudden cold acting
upon a freely-perspiring surface.

charoon1 for tlle Breath.

A bad breath is certainly repulsive, and
very properly so, not only because it is so
unpleasant in itself, but because it can
always be renedied with proper care. If
it proceeds from decayed teeth, dentist
should be consulted; ii from a disordered
stomach it is case for the physician.
Two drams of chlorate of potash, mixed
with six ounces of rose water, will make q
purifying wash to rinse the mouth with
every few hours.
Charcoal is a great sweetener of the
breath, and besides this it strengthens
and whitens the teeth, removes the tartar,
prevents toothache, and gives the gums
and lips an attractive red color" About
as much as can be placed on the point OF a
knife should be rubbed gently into the
interstices of the teeth on going to bed, to
be rinsed out thoroughly i'll the morning.
The objection to charcoal is its gritti-
ness. and 1t must be reduced as nearly as
possible to an impalpable powder. Its
purifying qualities are invaluable, and it
IS said, if taken inwardly, it will cure in
digestion.
SPearly" teeth are considered especially
beautiful, and this rare charm, if accom-
panied, as is apt to be, by space between
the two front teeth, gives % peculiarly
sweet, arch look to the whole face. Sound
teeth, thanks to the improvements in hy-
giene ana dentistry during the lasttwenty
wears, are not uncommon now, but beau
tifully shaped teeth with a pearly lustre
are.--Harpef'S Bdzdf.

DESTITUTION In LONDON.
The Strikers Families Have Suffered,
but Remain Fearless.
By Gable to the United Press.

Dy CttOte 70 Tue CItbttu 4 fSeSs
LONDON, Sept. 8, 1889. The destitution
families of the striking dockers is some
thing appalling. Many OF the women
and children have been for whole days
without food and all the relief afforded
by the charitably disposed scarcely makes
an impression upon the distress, so great
is the extent.
During the first days of the great strike,
the wives of the men managed to get an
occasional meal for themselves and their
children by taking their few household
goods piece by piece and their clothing to
the pawnbroker's shop.
But there are few now who have any
thing left to pawn, the shopmen have
long ago been forced to refuse all credit,
and as a result these poor unfortunates
are dependent solely upon charity for
sustenance. Notwithstanding their de-
plorable condition the dockers' wives are
quite as determined as their hus-
bands in fighting their fight
against their employers to the
bitter end, and it is even said by those
living among these people that the strike
would have been over weeks ago, and
the men would have gone to work at the
masters terms but for the persistent OBJ
stinacy of the women, who preferred to
suffer the pangs of hunger rather than
permit their husbands to submit to de-
feat.
A meeting of the striking workmen
was held at Tower Hill today. Mr.. Til
OF, one of the leaders of the strike, and
the founder of the Dock Laborers' Union.
addressed the strikers.
He said that he believed that the medi-
alton of Cardinal Manning between the
men and the employers would result in
an early settlement of the question in
dispute between them.
John Burns announced the receipt of a
number of subscriptions from Australia
for the benefit of the strikers. He said
that the workmen of America
had forwarded sentiment and
sympathy enough to encircle
the globe, if it were committed to paper,
but not q single cent to relieve the wants
of their fellow workmen. He was
ashamed of the organized workingmen
of America.
