Eo11owad Instructions.

When. after the second battle of Bull
Run, Gen. Sickles assumed command OF
a division Of the Army of the Potomac,
he gave an elaborate farewell dinner
to the officers of his old Excelsior Brig
ade. ''Now, boys, we will have fam
ily gathering" he said to them, as they
assembled in his quarters. Pointing to
the table, he continued: 'Treat it as you
would the enemy" AS the feast ended,
an Irish officer, Captain Byrnes, was
discovered by Siczles in the act Of
stealing away three bottles of cham
payne in his saddle bags. What are
you doing, sir?" gasped the astonished
general. "Obeying orders, sir, replied
the captain, in a firm voice; ''you told
us to treat that dinner as we would the
enemy, and you know, general, what
we can't kill, we capture"

ed was a State union. This was
now certainty. and II was
about II that Mr.. Rawlings said
he proposed TO talk. There should
be an Epworth League In every church in
the State. OF course. IL was easier TO
have a league in a large church than 10
have one In a small one. or TO have
league In city church than in a country
congregation. But league could be had,
the speaker declared. in every church
within the bounds Of the old State. and
II should be had.
Mr.. Rawlings gave some interesting
data about the wording of the Epworth
League in this State and elsewhere. He
spoke of the relations the organiZa ton
or society bore 10 the Church. and OF the
help IL had been 10 pastors and others
IN church-work. He said 1t was a me-
dunn which brought young people into
touch with some form of religious work
and fitted them for doing this work.
There We're thousands of Christian people.
but very few Of them could be made 10
do anything. The league equipped them
for the work. and put them into har
ness. The league was the palpltating
heart OF the church's energy. and should
be encouraged and strengthened The
union Of all the leagues would bring
power within the organization, and would
band together great number OF unions
now small In themselves. lie strongly
urged the Importance of the State league
movement.
DIR. SrEEI.S REMARKS.

general secretary of the Epworth League,
and who resides at Nashville. DR.. Ster,
took up the three principles - the
league-worship. charity, and literary
work. In the course Of his remarks Or.
Steel referred TO the need for young life
in the Church In the church enterprises.
The young people alone could keep up
with the procession. This. the speaker.
said, was not intended as a reflection
upon those who were In the "sere and
yellow" time OF life. 1t was no reflection
upon a man that his limbs grew stiH. DR..
