~ heard a story on an Irishman the
other day, which | think new," said a
gentleman recently. "This Irishman
was in the habit of going home drunk
every night of his life, and beating his
poor wife, Biddy, in the good old
fashion. He didn't lick her because
he disliked her or wanted to punish
her, but just because he the ught it
the proper thing to do.
Finally, however, the patient women
could stand it no longer and appealed
to the Priest. The Reverend Father
went to her home that evening and
waited for Pat. He came, drunk AS
usual, and the good priest took him in
hand.
Pat" says he, "you're drunk"
.Yes, your reverence" says Pat,

"Well, how long is this thing going
to continue, I'd like to know"
"Just as long as l kin git a dhrop

father, "I'll tell you what You'll

remember that there's good man."
The priest went away, and Pat was
docile that night. But tho next night
when he came home and kicked open
he door one glance showed Biddy
that he was loaded to the hat. She
gauged his Jag at once, and saw
tha, he was in lighting trim, so she
lodged behind the table in an attitude

III a man should ask to be admitted
into membership in a Christian
Church while asserting his unbelief IN
Christianity there is not one Of the
ministers of the American Sabbath
Union who would admit him to mem
bersh,p. IL anyone should ask to be
bsp lied while maintaining an attitude
of positive unbelief in Jesus Christ
there is not one OF these mini ,ters
who would administer to him Chris
tian baptism. They would deny his
right TO have any share whatever in
il. 1t is 81 also in the matter If the
Lords supper 1t is logically 50 also
IN the matter of the Christian Sabbath.
But instead Of standing logically To
their proposition, they inconsistently
demand laws by VIII ch men, who
glory in intidelity and atheism, and IN
their hatred to Christianity, shall be
compel ID to observe the Christian
Sab nth as day Of rest. In other
wo d., they demand that the United
States Government shall enact laws
by which all the people who are not
Christians aud who do not want to be.
shall be compelled to act as though
they were Christians. If 1t be the
Christian Sabbath, these people have
no right to consent that anybody but
Christians shall keep it; and far less
have they any righ. to compel people
to keep it who are not Christians.
II the church has the right to use
the power Of the Government TO com
pei men to observe the Christian Sab
bath as a day Of rest, has she not an
equal right to use the same power to
compel the same persons to observe
the same institution as day OF wor-
ship2 And has she not an equal right
to use the same power to compel all
Inea to observe Christian baptism, and
to belong to the Christian church,
In short if she has the light to use
the power, where is tie limit to the
exercise of that right, except in her
own arbitrary will2 The results here
suggested will follow as surely as the
power is obtained. For, although
the church is always illogical and in
consistent in demanding the use of the
civil power, she is always strictly
logical and consistent in the use OF
that power to the utmost limit. The
only safety is in not allowing her the
use of the civil power to the slightest
extent. American Sentinel.
