THE ANSWER OF CHRIST.
BY NELLIE BOOTH SIMMONS.

1t was in the ancient city,
In old jerusalem
When Jesus dwet mid the people,
And spoke with the sons OF men.
He was teaching in the temple,
And they clustered about His feet,
And listened, with rapt attention,
To His words so wise and sweet.
When 10 a strange commoton
And into their midst was brought
weak and erring woman,
Affrighted, and sore distraught.
And the Pharisees had led her
TO the teacher of Nazareth,
For her sin was very grievous,
And the penalty was death.
And they asked if they should stone her,
And they questioned, and would not cease,
For they sought to vex the Master,
And to puzzle the Prince of Peace.
off any be indebted,
If any there be among you
AS pure as little child,
"Let him cast the first stone at her"
He stoop'd, and wrote on the ground.
And a silence fell upon them,
Unbroken by sound.
And 10 when He looked, the woman
Was standing there alone,
And none had dared to accuse her.
And none to cast stone.
And He said, o sweetest saying
In all the ancient lorel-
"Then neither do I condemn thee;
Go, thou, and sin no more"
o judgment wise and gentlel
Master pure and sweet!

Have wandered our erring feet

II has been said q he American people that
they live in too much Of a hurry, that their time
is so completely occupied with business and its de-
tails that they cannot stop for holidays. Never
theless April 30th marks a very important white
mile stone in our journey as nation; one that
will be duly observed all over the land. The
proclamation has gone forth, calling on the people
everywhere to celebrate the one hundredth ami
versary of the first presidential Inauguration.
On that day national salutes will be fired, bells
will ring, there will be a general suspension Of
business, and divine service will be held invoking
Gods protecting care and guiding hand for the
years yet to come.
If we could glance at that most memorable
morning just one hundred years ago, we should
view quaint picture. Washington, clad in his
suit of American manufacture, with long white
stockings, knee-breeches, ponderous silver buckles
on his shoes, powdered hair worn according to the
fashion prevailing at that time, would be easily
recognized by his commanding stature (six feet
three) and imposing appearance.
His journey from Mount Vernon to New York,
where the Inauguration ceremonies took place, al
though one grand ovation, was not devoid Of incl
dents to mar for human nature then, as now, dis
played the same spirit, and his opponents took
measures to annoy similar to those employed by
opposing factions Of the present day.
Then as now, the inaugural ball and inaugural
address were important features of the occasion,
and doubtless the first lady Of the land quoted
and copied quite as much in her day as at the
present time.
That history repeats itself is an axiom, and very
truly the poet sang, 'We do the same deeds that
our fathers have done; we run the same course
