a JenersOnian.

Only two men really knew
What this country ought to do;
Reached the very bottom facts
AS to congress and its acts.
Where's the mind that right CLEANS
What the Constitution means?
Yet by us the thing was done
Me and Thomas Jefferson.
] am willing to agree
Most men want their country free;
Here's the question in each mind:
How much freedom. and what kind?"
''ris a matter of such doubt
Only two have found il out,
Only two the key have won
Me and Thomas jefferson.
Many people VOW I'm wrong;
To be doubted by the throng
Is the price that genius pays
For the worlds maturer praise.
/ am told they'd disagree
With him as they do with me,
'Tis the same old race we've run
Me and Thomas Jefferson.

no DiGerence AMONG the Tribes.

The matter of tribe made no difference in
the standing Of the Indian companies.
Apaches, Sioux and Blackfeet were equally
poor soldiers. and tugged alike at the fet-
tiers that bound them to the army, where it
was hoped that they would acquire habits
of order, discipline and patriotism, and one
after the other of the companies was dis
banded until only the one at Fort Sill re-
manned.
Many of the Indians who were useless as
soldiers became valuable members of the
Indian police, and it is probable that most
of the Fort Sill company will enter that
branch of the government service. AS
members of the Indian police they will have
closely as to hours of service, will not be
confined to narrow quarters, and on the
whole will feel themselves more free in
every respect.
Those who have already served in that
capacity have shown on many occasions
that the Indians are well fitted for the
duty. This branch was organized by
Major John Mclaughlin, and among those
who became members of the force and did
good service in its early days were some
of the braves who had given the coun-
try the most trouble when they were IN
the warpath. A notable example of this
kind is Chief Gall, who was one of the
Judges at Standing Rock agency, in South
Dakota. d. B. Barry who knew him well,
said of this chief: His bearing was al
most regal, his face expressive and his
slightest motion graceful. He was born
leader of men, more brave than crafty, and
he knew not what fear was. He was the
brainy and intrepid chieftain of the most
warlike band 1 ever saw in any Indian

Egypt was the center of Western learning.
Your nation was in its prime when the

The bright light went out of the Chinese

Who can tell? The Chinese may last.
They are a people of wonderful race
strength, and it remains to be seen wheth,
er they will be swallowed up or chaneeo
by the new civilization. AS for me, look
for great changes. We have preserved our
institutions and customs throughout the
past because We have been walled IN, as
it were. from the rest of the world Al
the west we had the high plateau OIL ASIA
TO keep out invaders, and on the east there
was the sea. We had little communica-
tion with the outside world. and their Gus
toms and ideas did not AFFECT us. Now
the doors are thrown open, and the new
elements which are coming In may make
great changes. We may lose something or
our individuality, but we shall probably
hold our own"

you must remember that our country Is
very large. We have an enormous number

ger when l tell you that there are tens OF
millions of Chinese who have never seen a
foreigner, and who know practically MOTH
ing about foreign matters. The only way
to make changes in China is by education;
1t is by this means that China may be led
TO adODt modern methods. Such education
is not a matter Of days, but of years. L be-
lieve the time will come when our people
will select from your civilization the best
things in it. and will add them to those

The Discipline plainly makes it the duty
or the pastor to proceed against such
persons when he becomes aware of the
facts. 1t does not make it his duty to
play the part of detective, but in a
conspicuous case, where his attention is
directed to 1t, he must steadily and pa
tiently endeavor to induce them to give
up these things. If they were not men,
bers of the church, and were employed
from outside, definitely having a good
moral reputation, and 1t was impossible
to secure a good organist and singer from
among the people, 1t might not be neces-
sary to inquire into their habits with
regard to amusements. The issue that
you have raised is an issue of member
ship, and that is the primary issue to
settle. The question of getting on with
out them is not the question. No person
is necessary to Gods plan. No local
church is necessary to His plans. If
Methodism had gone upon that simple
principle, which none can deny, it would
not have had half as many members as
it now has but it would have more moral
power. We do not refer merely to
amusements, but to the administration of
moral and religious discipline.
