MUSCLE AND CHRISTIANITY

Great Help TO the Soul.
Christian Herald.
From long experience of the many
advantages of his institution the
gymnasium we commend it. We
are glad 10 know it is gaining in favor
every year, and 1 know OF nothing
more tree from dissipation or MOI e
calculated TO recuperate the physical
and mental juergies. While there
are good many people who have en-
piOyed this institution, there are a
vast mum bar who are ignorant OF Its
eXcellences. There are men with
GRAINED chests and weak sides aud
dispondent spirits, who through the
gymnasium, might be reused up to
exu berance and exhilaration of lite.
There are many CHRISTIAN people de-.
spondent from year to year, who
might, through such an institution,
be- benefited in their spiritual rela-
tions. There are Christian people who
think it is a good sign to be poorly;
and because Richard Baxter and Ro-
bert Hall were invalids, they think
tnat by the same sickness they may

that God will hold you responsible
for your invalidism if it is your fault.

The body has q powerful effect upon

These are good people whose ideas
of heaven are all shut out with clouds

who dare to shatter the PHYSICAL vase

Ter. Martini Luther was so mighty
tor God-first, because he had nople
sou, land, secondly, because he had a
muscular development which would
have enabled him to thrash any five
of his prosecutors if it had been Chris
than to do so. Physical development
which merely shows itself in tabu-
lous lifting, or in periIous rope walk
ing or in pugilistic encounter excites
only our contempt; but We confess to
great admiration for the Inan who
mas q great soul in an athletic body,
every nerve, muscle and bone of which
is concentrated to right uses. Oh, it
seems to me outrageous that men,
through neglect, should allow their
physical health to 60 down hey ond re-

The Rev. Dr. Greer and Others Spoke
Last Evening.

The Rev. Dr. Greer and Others Spoke
Last Evening.
The Rhode Island Churchman'S Club
held its quarterly dinner in the Narragan-
sett Hotel last evening. A number of
guests were present, including Bishop
Clarke of the Rhode Island diocese, DR.
Greer of New York, formerly of this city,
and others familiar To Rhode Island
people. The menu WAS an elaborate AFFAIR
and after IL had been fully discussed Pres
10 order.
Bishop Clark spoke of affairs in Rhode
Island. which he said were of an encour-
aging nature. The diocese of Rhode
Island is the smallest in the United States,
but IL has contributed for the church fund
more largely in proportion to its numbers
than any other. He wished to see the
fund increased and also the fund for the
relief of widows and orphans OF deceased
clergymen.
Gov. Ladd was the next speaker. He
complimented the Church for its work In
the state and heartily endorsed that
work.
The Rev. Henry Bassett, dean of the
Convocation of Providence. then spoke
briefly on the work of the new convoca-
tion system as compared with the old.
The Rev. w. s. Chase of Woonsocket
was then introduced and spoke of the con-
vocation system and its work in the north
ern part of the State He spoke especially
of the opportunities for work among the
French Canadians, of whom there about
10000 in the cities of Woonsocket and
Pawtucket alone.
The Rev. DR.. Greer, former rector Mt
Grace Church, was the next speaker intro
duced. He said that IL always seemed to
him as if he still lived in Providence, but
xxa I,, In ,ar
certain business, as il was large business
centre. Everybody there is just getting
ready to live and most Of them die before
they have accomplished it. There Is a
large field for work there, and there is
here. The church is getting out of the
old ruts and getting down to more practi-
cal work. This is a practical age and peo-
pie want practical results. IL the church
is reaching the people to-day and getting
hold of them the best results possible will
be realized. The laity must assist the
clergy.
The speaker advised the building of a
parish house in the city, and, above all,
exhorted all to have profound desire for
the building up of the church, and then
will the work be successful
The remaining speakers were very brief,
the Rev. w. +. B. Jackson speaking of his
parish on Mount Pleasant, the Rev.
James a. Greene of Wexford and the
Rev. G.. j. Magil of Newport following,
and DIR. j. +. Haller closed the speech
making with "a brief account of the work
among the Swedes of Providence.
