Y. NJ. c. A. AND THE CHURCH.

The Former, Says Rev. DR. Eastou. Is the
Consecrated Ally of the Latter.
"What the thumb is to the right hand so is
the Y. NJ C. A. to the Christian Church-it
completes the grip" was the opening sem
tence of DR.. Easton's sermon at the Eastern
Presbyterian Church yesterday morning.
The theme of the discourse was: 1.-The
glory of young men is their strength" and
three lines of thought were presented-the re-
Ia ions of young men to the church, what the
Y NJ G. A. has done for the church, and the
claims of the church upon the association and
the young men.
The speaker greeted the Y. NJ. c. A. as a
consecrated ally of the church, that assists in
holding the young men in line with Christi
anity. and something. he said, is necessary
when the alarming fact is realized that but
8 Per cent. of the young men of America are
church members. and 70 per cent. do not at
tend church at all.
A letter was read from Secretary Pugh, of
the Y. NJ. C. A, of Washington, in which it
was stated that of So 900 white young men.

evangelical churches.
The association was regarded as one of the
most effective safeguards against all forms of
infidelity and unbelief. right hand of power
in holding our land amid the rushing tide of
secularism, mammon worship and goddess
ness, to the cause of Christ.

The Woman's Home and Foreign Mission
ary Society is the one which is conducted
entirely by the ladies' Mrs. DIR. Butler is
president; Mrs. G. H. Slaybaugh, secretary,
and Miss A. r. Charles, treasurer. The
society meets once month and annually
hands over to the missionary fund about
$500. The same is done by the Sunday-school
and the missionary society which exists there.
The ladies have just finished sending box
TO missionary in Nebraska. The Christian
Endeavor Society is large one and meets
each Sunday evening. Mr.. w. ii. Stoweil is
the president. There are also two circles OF
Kings Daughters among the young ladies OF
the church.
Standing in front of the church is the statue
OF Martin Luther. 1t stands as the contrlbu-
tion of the Lutherans of the country to the
National Capital. February IA, 1888, circu-
lar was issued asking for funds; 80 prompt
was the reply that the association having the
matter in charge felt warranted in ordering
the statue by cablegram on April II. 1t was
hoped that it might be ready for unveiling by
November 10. the four hundredth anniversary
of the reformer's birth, but it was not until
the following May that this was done JUS
the ceremonies of the unveiling, and thou
sands OF people were present.
DIR. j. G. Butler, the pastor, came from an
unfinished course of study at the seminary
of Gettysburg in 1s49, and accepted the
pastorateof the st. Pauls English Lutheran
Church. In 1861 he preached the first ser
mon to one of the first regiments, the Fifth
Pennsylvania, coming to the defense OF the
Capital. The next day the chap!Gincy of the
regiment was rendered him and accepted. At
the expiration OF three months service he
was mustered out and appointed a hospital
chaplain by President Lincoln. At first he
was assigned to the building on Washington
Circle, now st. AIMS Hospital, to the Union
Hotel and Seminary hospitals in George
| town. He was then transferred to Clifburn.
and thence to Lincoln Hospital, where there
were at times several thousand sick and
wounded. In 1873 he resigned from st.
Paul's and became the pastor of Luther Me-
morial He is much beloved by his people,
and they nope he may be spared to them for
many years yet 10 come.

PEACE MEMORIAL.
The church itself is a memorial of freedom
and peace. II was the idea of the present
pastor, and occurred to him just after the sur
render at Appomattox. The lot on which the
church stands was purchased in 1866, and
work ON chapel was Immediately begun.
The cornerstone was laid in 1870, and the
congregation was organized April, 1873. In
the meantime, however, a Sunday-school had
been kept alive. The congregation numbered
forty Eight at the organization, and the mem
bership started out with a debt of SEQ, 900
hanging over it. Now the congregation num-
bers 1885, and the Sunday-school has over 200
members 1t has placed one mission on its
feet, and is now helping to support two
Others. In 1873 scarcely q member of the
congregation owned his own house and lot,
and yet since that time the church has col
lected and disbursed, according to Treasurer
Ryneal, 1927. .773.60. 1t is now ready TO as
sumo new burden in starting the gymna-
sium and bowling alley.

In its home mission work Luther Memorial
has established the Church of the Fatherland.
This is growing congregation now, and is
self-supporting. Keller Memorial Church
and the Church of Our Redeemer are being
aided. The Keller Memorial has member
ship of fifty-seYen, and a growing Sunday
school. The Church of Our Redeemer is the
colored church. The church building is free
of debt, and a kindergarten has been estab-
lished. IN the Sunday-school sewing soci-
ETY. has been established, which is accomplish

PATRIOTISM.

THE family is the unity OF our
national lite. In the home are
learned the lessons which shall
guide us in after years, and if true
principles OF patriotism are learned
in the home circle, these will guide
us ia all our future actions. If in
every home these principles were
taught good government would be
assured. But if in the home chill
drer are taught to distrust those in
authority a spirit of anarchy and
revolution will spread abroad in the
land. To be taught that a mans
my enemy because he belongs to
another class and follows other pur>
suits, is radically wrong in theory
and produces division and discord
in practice. Every head of a house
hold should strive to implant in his
children a. love of country, honor
for those in authority and respect
for law.

A GOOD WIFE.

A good wife is to a man, wisdom,
strength and courage a bad one is
confusion, weakness and despair.
No condition is hopeless to a man
where the wife possesses nrmness,
decision ard economy. There is no
outward propriety which can coun>
teract Incidence, extravaganza and
folly at home. No spirit can long
endure bad influence. Man is strong,
but his heart is not adamant. He
needs a tranquil mind, and espec>
tally if ne IS an intelligent nan with
a whole head, he needs its moral
force in the conflict of life. To res
cover his composure, home must be
aplace ofpeace and comfort. There
his soul renews its strength and goes
forth with renewed vigor to encoun>
ter the labor and trouble of life.
But if at home he finds no rest, and
is there met with bad temper, jeal-
ousy and gloom, assaulted with COM
plants and censure, hope vanishes
and he sinks into dispair.

The department of agriculture at
Washington says that the corn crop
OF the southern states for 1894 will
be 5O,000,OO0 bushels greater than
was the crop of last year, OF 100000
900 bushels for the current harvest
as against 44O,OOO,OOO for that Of
1898. This makes it evident that
southern farmers are paying more
attention than before to food crops.
A great increase in the corn crop
means that more hogs will be raised
and fattened, for home consumption
or for market.
