Spiritualists, under various names ana
classiflcations, hold these meetings In GER
tain parts OF the Union; but In tho main the
religious sentiment Is conservative. The
particular doctrines presented and their
explanation may he different from those
once proclaimed and insisted upon as
OF first Importance but the substance OF
tho religious faith inculcated is the same.
The necessity for conversion through be-
lief In CHRIST aud obedience to His COM
mands is declared with the same emphasis
as Of old. Every young member Of
Christian Endeavor Society pledges himself
formally to "strlve to do whatever He
would like to have me do" to mako 1t tho
rule Of his life "to pray and to read the
Bible every day." aud to attend all the
regular Sunday and mld-week services" OF
his particular church. sunless prevented by
some reason which I can conscicntiously
give to my Lord and Master"
There is no suggestion OF doubt In such a
declaration. 1t Is the old and simple faith
OF the earliest days OF Christianity, and the
enormous growth OF the societies shows how
prevalent and how deep 1t Is among 'the
younger generation even In these days OF the
skeptcism OF the BRrGasEs the MENTIONS.
and the MAcQUEARYs. At the Minneapolis
Convention one OF the most striking OF the
conferences for free discussion was on
"soul winning" and the terms used,
the figures Of speech. tho sentiment
tho method Of treatment and tho
whole governing theory were tho same as
those which would have marked like dis
cussion fifty years ago, except that hell was
kept in the background, instead OF being
put foremost as q warning for the sinner to
frighten him into the straight and narrow
path. 1t was like an old-fashloned New
England conference meeting. Soul winning
through prayer and conversation meetings
was the great theme. Prayer was incul-
Gated as an indisputable necessity for the
health and the salvation OF the soul. and
the Bible was held up Us the guide to
heaven. perfect in truth, wholly Divine In
origin, and absolutely trustworthy.
Hence we see that side by side with the
growth Of religious skepticism, under the
assiduous cultivation OF theologians. there
arise extraordinary movements for tho prop
agation and the preservation OF tho simple
faith of the ages Of Christianity. when belief
was strongest, most vital, and most sincere.
The plant OF faith Is not rooted up. but
grows vigorously In the hearts Of youth.

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

The question whether the Indian Blu.
ren, shall be transferred from the In
terror to the War department is not, IN
our judgement. Il very vital one. On
the one hand, 1t would appear from the
contradictory reports from the North
west that the present outbreak is due
Immortality to laundering in the mill
tary department, while it is indirectly
due to political corruption In the inter-
ior Department. 1t is not clear, there
fore. that a transfer from one depart
ment to the ether will give us peace.
What is vital is that the Indian Bureau
should be carried on by pacific rather
than by warlike methods, that the ob-
iect to lie constantly Kept in view
should be. not the subjugation OF the
indians. but their civilization and their
intermixture with the other popula-
tions of the U S, their treatment as In
dividuals. not rs tribes; and equally
that there should be an end put at once

nerienced agents and the appointment

accomplished is to make the red man

for him to do he should be given pick
