were feeling pretty badly down in the

~ was on the advance picket line ono
bright moonlight night, and the Yanks
had q post only few hundred yards
away. We shot at each other until We
got tired OF the sport, then We snapped
newspapers, coffee and tobacco, A dare

right into our post, sat down on a log

asked US il we knew how to play poker,
Did we? We rather thought we did,
Had we any greenbacks? A few.
"Then we pulled out deck OF cards
and we sat down to play, Pretty soon

Forty.ninth, consider yourselves under

started for camp.
"When their backs were turned on

mouth, and with a cynical smile asked
the Confederate nearest him: who's

John the Baptist did not shoot with

RIGHTS OF WOMAN.
Striding Along Toward Her RightfuI
Position.


The Rights OF Woman" was the sub
ject Of the discourse of Rev. Leslie w.
Sprague last evening at the Second Uni
tartan Church, and that house of worship
was crowded by an appreciative conRrega-
tiOn, principally consisting Of ladies. The
speakers contention was that. as Victor
Hugo had said, this Is the age of woman,
not only in social and political distinctions
but in every avenue and phase of life.
lowing to the conditions OF the zine
teenth century, woman is making great
and rapid strides and forcing recognition
as all equal of man. and this move
ment will continue to advance, be-
cause the age is practical. and one of JUS
tice. The world is beginning to see that
women are entitled To freedom-that
woman should have the privilege of better
ing her condition in life by choosing the
life she wishes to follow, and to work out
her salvation in her own way. In her
marriage relations she has equal rights
with the husband. an equal right to the
home, to the purse and to material affairs
OF life which have TO do with herself and
her children. She has as much right to de-
mand pure and clean life in the husband
as he has to ask those qualities in her.
Women are demonstrating their equality
IN educational institutions; land in sociology.
political economy, psychology, they are
carrying off the honors.
'Ihe greatest slavery the world has
ever known is the slavery Of women to
public opinion, but now she is breaking
loose from the ch aims of that bugbear and
stepping out and doing the work she can
90. The woria's prejudice. which has
been the worlds tyranny, is lo0sening its
grasp, and woman is stridIng along toward
the position to which she rigbtfully be-

celebration of the regular church days,
and yesterday was with them a special
holiday of the Virgin Mary, instead of
being known as the first Sunday in Advent
as it was elsewhere.
Services in the Russian Cathedral were
conducted by Bishop Nicholas without
the assistance of priest, and were well
attended both morning and evening by
devout worshipers. The morning service
was OF especial interest because of the
excellent sermon delivered by Bishop
Nicholas, and also because of the presence
of Right Rev. Dionysius Latas, Arch
bishop OF Zante, who part0ok OF the holy
communion.
The ritual of the Greek church is very
beautiful and impressive. 1t is entirely In
the old Slavonic language and great part
of it is choral. Yesterdays music, under
the direction OF MIR. Demitrovich, was OK.
tremeiy well rendered, particularly
effective touch being the introduction of
some little girls voices. which contrasted
sweetly with the heavier voices of the
more mature singers. The interior of the
cathedral, with its bright paintings, rich
banners, many-colored lights, anG The
picturesque garments of the Bishop,
priest, deacon and acolytes. all of white
brocade richly embroidered with gold and
silver, is picture we'll worth seeing.
Strangers. however, will find little bodily
comfort therein, since seats, save few
placed along the wall for the use of the
aged or infrm, are not used at all, and the
congregation stands throughout The entire
two-hours' service. save when they kneel
In prayer.
After the benediction Archbishop Latas
descended from the altar and greeted the
congregation, who gathered around him
10 kiss his hands and receive his blessing.
A little later a tiny blaek-haired infant
was chriitened according 10 the Greek
custom, its little body being entirely
barred and dipped three times beneath the
water In Il huge christening fount. This
particular baby resented such treatment in
manner which proved the strength of its
small lungs. and did not at all appreciate
the honor of being christened by the
Bishop himself, although his parents ev;-
dently did.
Next Sunday Archbishop Latas will
preach In this church.

THE GREEK CHURCH SERVICE.
"Plain Preaching" and the "Rights
of Women" Among Other
Advent Sunday Sermons.

Yesterday was Advent Sunday, and the
sermon at Trinity Church was made ap.
propriate TO the day. the rector, Rev.
George Edward Walk, discoursing on
The Mystery of God Being Made Mani
fest in the FLESH" Said he:
"As we come to the Advent season. the
opening OF the Christian year. our
thoughts naturally turn to that character
which centers everything that the dav
suggests. and whose coming into the world
Is described as such mystery. The Apos-
ties speak of it as the grand mystery
that God was made manifest in the flesh.
1t was The first step in the grand march Of
Deity, which begins and ends in eternity.
The first faint CLEAN that gave promise
OF the coming day WAS Gods solemn prom
ise TO the first pair while they were in
Eden. 1t was repeated to Abraham and
confirmed TO Isaac and to Tsaac's son.
The next step in the unfolding of the
sublime mystery is the annunciation of the
Princes mother. Then comes Balaam.
who said. L shall see Him, but not now
shall behold Him. but not nigh And
then Micah locates Bethlehem as the IA
vored spot for The birthplace of the coming
King.
But there are persons who reject all
tHio dS al luic lain, Uocdueo tuey cannot
understand it. Who of them can solve the
mystery of his own being? But why
should it be doubted that the Deity should
be incarnated? Do you say. Because He
is almighty Then, if He is almighty, it
was not impossible for Him. Do you
say, because it is degrading? Then l re-
ply that ii is not degrading for God to
dwell in anything that he mas made and
he has made the human form.
But this has 10 do only with the human
side OF his nature, while the prophet also
gives glimpse of the divine. He shall
be called wonderful, cousellor,' and again,
i Will give him name that is above every
name
1T has been truly said that the greatest
mystery Of the Old Testament is tnat man
was made in Gods image. while the mar
vel OF the New Testament is that God was
made in mans image"
