Strange Fire upon the Lords Altar -
REV. r. H. COOPER.

In these last days there seems to be
weakness upon the part Of some
preachers to initiate the example o
Nadab and Abihu, In offering Strange
Fire upon the Lords altar. Memorial
Days are almost without number, and
are still increasing. The G. A. r., Ma
sonic, knights of Pythias, Knights OF
Labor, Daughters Of Rebecca, Woman
Suffragist, and others too numerous to
mention.
We were in q community some time
since when one of these days was OBJ
served. A more calm and peaceful
Sabbath never blessed the world. Mul.
titudes pressed their way to the Lords
house. The decorations were Of flags
within and without, on pulpit and on
pew-flags everywhere. A company
Of men marched into the church In
military style and occupied reserved
seats. The minister OF the meek and
lowly Prince Of Peace mounted the
pulpit, and, In speech Of tiresome
length, recited the bloody scenes Of the
civil war and the glorious victories Of
the Federal armies.
This is sample of these memorial
services. OF course, they have their
variations. Before me, In a secular
paper, Is the address of one Of our
preachers, delivered in one Of our
churches on the Sabbath, on Odd Fell
lows Memorial Day. A more fulsome
eulogy we never read on paper. He
even goes 80 far as to claim that this in
stitution had for it's aim "The redemp-
ton of the world from ssn." This
brother is not alone in this transgres.
sion.
Now, if those who enjoy these dress
parades and imposing ceremonies vii!
retire them from the Sabbath day and
the sanctuary of God, we have no
word of protest. But to make this
kind of thing take the place OF the
worship of God, to make eulogy OF
these institutions take the place Of the
gospel of Christ and him crucified, Is
of more than doubtful propriety. To
very many it seems little less than an
innovation, the offering Of Strange
Fire upon the Lords altar.-St. Louis
Advocate.

Could the youth, to whom the flavor
of the first wine is delicious, look upon

and circulation, and thereby improv-
ing the general health and condition
of the system. We must further con-
clude that in case Of any malforma-
ton, local weakness or constitutional
debility, the drill tends, by it's strain
upon the nerves and prolonged ten
sion on the muscles, to increase the de-
fects rather to relieve them. Finally,
if the ultimate object Of the drill was
to prepare youny men for the. life and
duties of q soldier, we should be forced
to conclude that the drill itself would
still be defective as q means of devel-
oping the chief requisites for men In
that profession.
It will be observed that this craze for
military drill, which is one of the le-
gitimate fruits of the war spirit which
is being fostered and which finds ex-
preston in the rapid multiplication Of
armories in ourgreat centres of popula-
ton, does not, according TO DR.. Sar-,
gent, accomplish the physical culture
which wholesome gymnastic exercise
gives.
Mr.. Leverett w. Case, master of the
Dudley School of Roxbury, Boston,
when interviewed few months ago In
regard to the advisability of introduc-
ing the military drill into the gram
mar schools, made the following OBJ
servation -
1t is a bad thing for the boys. These
public street parades are especially evil
things. l have known three OF. four boys
to faint away from the fatigue and ex-
citement on such occasions. Then
again, it teaches the boys to look for
ward to war, and cherish desire for
fighting which is not desirable. 1t
seems to me that after twenty centu-
ries of religious enlightenment we
ought to be able to live without fight
ing, aud the maintenance of standing
armies. I believe In fostering love Of
nature and peaceful intercourse be-
tween one another among school chill
dren. Boys should be taught what
will be useful to them, but they should
not be taught that which would engen-
der a desire for warfare. The Ling
system Of gymnastics which we now
have in the grammar schools answers
every purpose. It gives the school
plenty Of wholesome exercise and tn at
is all they need.

In seedy garments clad,
Holding down the station
II seemed that he was sad.
His pocket-book was empty
Provisions nearly gone
But he shouted as he tramped around

The summer sun was shining,
The sweat was on bis face,

Had Qulckened TO q pace,
But the people even grumbled
Because he would not run,
Still he shouted as he visited,

The sun was bending low;
He had that tired feeling,
His step was very slow;
But as he dragged his weary limbs
Toward his humble home.
He shouted loud, Hosanna!
"Deliverance will come"
Chorus-Then palms, etc.
He went to bed at twelve o'clock,
But he could not 60 TO sleep,
For his wife had said for breakfast
They had not much 10 eat:
But when they rose next morning
With heart 80 sad and sore,
He found ham OF bacon
And some -four at the door.

The Conference was a-cOming on,
The salary was behind;
He had no clothing 1T to wear.
Which weighed upon his mind,
But tie day before be started,
The ladies rigged him out
In brand new suit for Conference,
Which made our preacher shout,
Chorus-O, palms, etc.
The Conference ground out business
Along from day to day,
Till the time came for appointments
And the Bishop had his say.
Our preacher listened daily
To see where he would fall
He WAS made presiding elder,
And that atoned for all
Chorus-Now palms, etc.

What We Did For Brazil.

Inc New York Sun aptly calls atten-
tion to the service rendered by the Unit
ed States to the republic of Brazil dur
ing the recent rebellion. The sympa-
thies of European nations were undoubt-
edly with the insurgents from the first.
In the beginning it was only because, on
general principles, anything that tends
toward the downfall of a republic is
agreeable to monarchist or imperialist.
But after Da Cana declared his desire to
see the Brazilian empire restored this neg
htive sympathy prepared to take active
shape. If certain German and English
naval officers at Rio Janeiro had had
their way, the insurgents would have
blockaded the port, cutting off from
Peixoto his customs revenues and sup
plies.
At once the United States government
gave notice to Mello that no interference
with American merchant ships in Rio
harbor would be permitted. Then the
British government followed in our
wake and notified Mello and Da CANA
to the same effect. The Sun says:
That the status of bellgerency was never ac-
quired by the Brazilian rebels was due TO the
fact that the United States not only refused
the desired recognition, but taxed NIL the re-
sources Of its diplomacy to prevent. any such
proceeding on the part Of other foreign gov
ernments. 1t Is a truth of which President
Peixoto is perfectly aware that during the last
six months, when his own fate and that of re-
publican institutions In Brazil were at stake,
he has had no we'll wishers in places Of power
In Europe, and that nothing but the steadfast
friendship of the United States avcrted con-
certed concession of the rights of beligerents
to the rebels, which would probably have as
sured to them success.
| 1t is not likely that either he or any of those
Brazilians who are sincere republicans will
ever underrate the magnitude of their indebt-
ment to this country. They are as likely to
forget the sympathy with the rebel advocates
of monarchy which the British naval officers
at Rio took no trouble to disguise.
The service which we rendered in their hour
of need to the Peixoto government and to the
cause of republican institutions In Brazil
ought to have profound and permanent ef-
| feet on the future commercial and political re-
lations Of that country with the United States

A We'll Worn bond.

A curiosity in the shape of Delhi
town bond for $500 was turned in to the
town treasurer few weeks ago. It was
pnnctured so full Of pinholes as to be al
most unreadable, and it bore other evil
dences of hard usage. AS soon as its
genuineness was determined, however,
the money was paid on it, and a county
official made an investigation. Its late
owner finally admitted that he had car
ried the bond for years pinned fast to his

shirt quite frequently the bond had be-
come full OK pinholes. es.-Delhi IN. ~
