TAKING DEATH CALMLY.
The Notable Fortitude of q Patient in a
Union Hospital.

The Notable Fortitude of q Patient in q
Union Hospital
During the late war while at one of
the hospitals at Alexandria the head
steward told me the following touching
incident: "A young man." he said,
"had been placed under my care who
had severe wound in the thigh. The
ball having passed completely through,
an amputation was necessary. The
limb was cut up close to the body, the
arteries were taken up and he, seemed
to be doing WE'LL Subsequently one of
the small arteries sloughed Off; an in
cision was made and it was taken up.
1T is not the main artery said the
surgeon as he performed the operation.
Had it been SO he might have bled to
death before could have taken it up
''But the patient Charley, as we al
ways spoke of him, got on finely for a
time and was favorite with us all. I
was going through the ward one night
about midnight, when suddenly as I
was passing Charley's bed he spoke to
me. Harry, my leg is bleeding again.
he said. I threw back the bed-clothes
and the blood spurted in the air: The
main artery had sioughed of. Forum
ately l knew just what to do, and in an
instant I had pressed my thumb on the
place and stopped the bleeding. TWAS
80 close to the body that there was
barely room for my thumb, but I sue
ceeded in keeping it there and, arous-
ing one of the nurses. sent him for the
surgeon, who came in on run.
81 am so thankful said he, as he
saw me, that you were up and knew
what to do. for otherwise he must have
bled to death before I could have got
here But on examination of the case
he looked exceedingly serious and sent
for other surgeons. All came who were
in reach, and consultation was held
over the poor fellow. One conclusion
was reached by all. There was no
place to work save the spot where my
thumb was placed, they could rot work
uader my thumb, and if I removed it
he would bleed to death before the
artery could be taken up. There was
no way to save his life.
Poor Charley! He was calm when
they told him. and he requested that
his brother, who was in the same hos
pital, might be called. He came and
sat down by the bedside, and for three
hours stood there and by the pressure
OF my thumb kept up the life of Char
ley while the brothers had their last
conversation. The last word was said.
the last goodbye spoken, and then
turning to me he said: '.Now, Harry, /
guess you had better remove your
thumb, "Oh, Charley, how can II"
said ]. But it Must be done, you
KNOW" he replied. Il thank you very
much for your kindness, and now
goodbye" He turned away his head;
l raised my thumb once more. The
life current gushed forth and in three
minutes he was dead.-Cor. Philadel-

Some Pertinent Questions.

After reading these reports of one
days horrors, can anyone fail to ash
himself these questions:
Is there any doubt that there is vet 8
race problem, and one of infinite diff
Guilty and danger, to be solved by the
American people?
Is it true THAT there is one law 70,
black and white" at the South.
Is it possible that 1.-The ordinary civil
rights of the Negro" are likely to be
Secured and preserved" by people
who are so ready to shed his blood?.
Can Christian civilization recognize
the claim of the South to be permitted
to settle the race question: tor them.

Is it not part of the duty of the gov.
eminent and people ofthe United States
to find way to secure to those to whom
it has guaranteed the rights of citizen.
ship, the protection of law?
Are murder and church.burninp the
most desirable methods Of preparing
the Negro for civilization and the Chris.
tianization OF Atrica?"
Do these often recurring and almost
unprovoked conflicts ending always in
fresh slaughter of the blacks indicate q
purpose to do 'equsl and exact justice
to the Colored man." or a determination
to crush and destroy him?
If you were Colored man, would YOU
feel that American Christianity desired
your welfare and exerted itself for your
protection?
Are the Christian people of the North
guiltless of the bloodshed by their white
brethren of the South, simply because
those in whose veins it ran have colored
skins?
These are ugly questions. but they
must be answered sooner or later.

liams has been during her Connection
with the church one of the most earnest
faithful and active workers. She and
her husband have determined to seek q
home further West and leave the city
this week. To show their appreciation
of her faithful services the members
and friends of the church met in the
auditorium Tuesday evening and enjoyed
testimonial rendered to Mr.. and Mrs,
Williams, by the Friday night class
over which Mr.. t. H. Lyles pre-.
sided. There were various musical Sc
lections by the choir also other exercises
OF a literary nature by several ladies,
and remarks by several gentlemen after
which the following resolutions were
passed: -
st. Paul, Mimi, Sep. 10, 1889.
Now that our beloved Sister Sadie
Williams is to leave us and take up her
abode in distant city, the ties that bind
her to us being thus severed; ties that
have been welded by her ardent and
jealous labor unstinted and gratisly
given, actuated only by christian mo-
tives.
And because during the four years of
her residence amongst US we have ever
known her, meek, unassuming yet dig.
nified and womanly in all her connec-
ton with the church as it's organist,
leader of the choir and chorister of the
Sabbath school, to be devoted to ever
mindful, and fully interested in those
things that would best enhance the
church's good.
Therefore,-Fully recognizing her SER
vices, the result of her labor, the good
she has done, and bespeaking for her
husband, our loved brother Frank M.
Williams, wherever their lot may be
cast, we'll deserved greetings of good
will and success, be it
Resolved,-That in parting with our
sister and brother. st. James Church
sustains the loss of two of it's best work
ers and earnest christian members.
That We will ever keep them in fond
remembrance and pray heavens kind
ness and blessings will rest upon them
always. .
In token whereof it is ordered that a
copy of the foregoing be spread upon
the minutes, and records of the church
and published in the next issue of The
APPEAL.
At the close of the exercises purse
of $l2 was made up and presented to
Mrs. Williams who accepted the same
in very neat little speech appropriate
to the occasion, after which all present
repaired to the Sunday school room and
enjoyed refreshments which had been
prepared for the occasion. The large
attendance testified to the esteem in
which Mrs Williams is held in our
midst, and her place will not easily be
filed.

NIistaIzes Concerning Hindu RELIGION.

1t is rather sad 10 perceive how com
pletely some European observers mistake
and misinterpret the Indian people on the
question of their religion. They style
them educators" Imagine that Hindus
attribute divine qualities to the uncOuth
figures, the red stones, the lngams,
carved snakes, and grim BhOwanis which
they worship. Because they find MahadeO
adored in one place, Gunpati in another
Kali elsewhere, and trees rivers, and
cows objects of prayer, they suppose the
Hindus, one and all, polytheists.
Yet it would be almost as unjust to
ascribe po.y,heism to Londoners because
one church is dedicated to st. Matthew,
another to the Holy Trinity, third to
the st. Bridget. All these various gods
and sacred objects are for the educated
Indian mere lads to faith" manifesto

wife, perambulating peepul-tree
