hierarchy did not deny his right 10 hold
and utter his views-it simply said: "Hou
shall not do so as a Roman catholic"
When Prof. Swing in Chicago was ar
raigned for transgressing the presbyterian
canons, his church did not propose 10
silence him; it only declared that he
should not identity presbyterianism with
views which 1t believed TO be false. Just
so in this Cleveland case. The Rev. How
ard McQueary, while acting as rector of
an episcopal church, denied the miracu-
lous birth of Jesus and the reality of his
resurrection. The episcopal authorities
did not question his right to think as he
thought They merely said: you shall
not deny what our church holds as funda-
mental truth while preaching with epis-
copal sanction. II you wish 10 preach
your denials, 90 outside. We refuse To be
responsible for your yagaries.
Is there any slightest element of unfair
ness in such conduct2 On the contrary,
is it not unfair for an erratic individual to
insist upon remaining within church
whose standards he antagonizes? Nay is not
preacher lacking in moral sense when, al
ter radically changing his creed, he imLu-
IDENTIFY persists in clinging to his mental
ly) discarded orders, and forces the eccle-
siastic authorities to proceed against him
for heresy? Ii strikes me that a man of
right feeling would voluntarily step down
and ont of a creed he believed himself TO
have outgrown. III he does not. he should
be summarily dismissed. In all this there
is no question of persecution, nor even OF
intolerance. The only question involved
Is this: Shall preacher be allowed to
represent a denomination which he radi-
cally misrepresents? And concerning
this there can be no question. If such a
moved, where he belongs, no should be
made TO GO. ANY church is justified in
saying TO recalcitrant; "Stand not up
on the order of your going, but go at
once"
There arc others besides the ancient Is
raelites who will worship calf-if it is u
golden one.
When, in walking along the street, says
one, we hear a fire alarm, we only feel
general interest. Ii we count and find
our district announced, we feel a special
interest But if a fireman rushes up and
says: ''Sir, your house is on fire" the
peril is wildly felt as personal one. So
is it with the promises and menaces of
scripture.
The colleges and schools are right in
providing literally for muscular exercise.
A professorship OF sculls is as important as
one that deals with skulls. Ours is more
and more a sedentary age. We need,
therefore, to counteract this habit by
vigorous exertion. An exchange calls at
teption to the fact that exercise is as in
| dispensable TO greatness as it is to happi-
ness. All eminent men have laid the
| foundation of their superiority by working
| hard during their minority, and by
continuing to exercise daily through life,
while those students brought up without
labor rarely take high intellectual stand,
save, perhaps, in parrot-like scholarship.
J. Q.AdAms always rose before the sun
to take his exercise, and as he grew old
took much of it in swimming, which, he
said, gave the required amount Of exertion
without heating the blood. Benton was
| a noted exerciser. Jefferson worked like
Trojan" Polk took long walk every
morning Webster would have his seas
ons of hunting, fishing and rowing.
| Washington was Woodworking farmer
as we'll as a soldier. One chief reason why
so many men who have all the phreno-
logical indications of greatness do not dis.
tinguish themselves is want OF physical
4 exercise.
Soiled linen should be washed at home.
zone hundred ble-bodied men wanted"
was an announcement we lately saw at
the head of an advertisement for recruits
| in the government service, writes Theo-
dore L. Cuyler No invalids could pass
| muster. 1t was duty on deck and amid
| the rigging that was required and not a
| berth in a hospital. 1t occurred to us that
| just such an announcement would be in
place upon the doors of all our churches
| A hundred able-handed, noble-hearted
men and women wanted for Christian
duty. There are quite enough now who
never answer 10 roll-call, but are slowed
AWAY in berths of sickness or seep-hos-
pital soldiers. The essentials demanded
for efficient service are these four, viz:
| The Christians called by the Great King
should be prayerful, patient, persevering,
powerful. These four P's constitute the
healthy Christian.
Here are few proverbs which are
worth attention:
There are some people who, like new
song, are in vogue only Tor time.
No man was ever deceived by another
so seriously as by himself.
where they do not love will love where
| they do not marry.
He that is not open to conviction is not
qualified for discussion.
What we know is very little, but what
we are ignorant of is immense,
Cheat one in the price rather than in
the goods.
| Unworthy offspring often boast OF their
worthy descent--and have descended a
long way.
At twenty the will reigns. at thirty the
wit, and at forty the judgment.
When mother died she left some thing
on this side
She could not see very well, and hence
wore glasses-but she left them here. No
need of glasses in heaven, where we see as
| we are seen.
She left her bible here. 1t was her
chart and compass on the sea OF life. IL
brought her safe to harbor. She does not
need il now. We little think of love
letters when the lover is present
