. If the various Grand Army posts Of
the country were disposed to take ada
vantage of an offer made at the last ses-
sion Of congress, they might materially
increase the warIike spirit supposed to
pervade every patriotic family, says the
Washington Post. The offer was to sup
ply warlike implements, which, If they
have outlived their usefulness. will
serve as ornaments for post headuuar-
ters and might inspire the rising gener-
alton with much patriotic fervor. This
could be accomplished by accepting the
tender Of several hundred abandoned
cannon and shot and shell which con-
gress has decided to give to any Grand
Army post that may apply for them
and which are now lying useless and
neglected at the navy yards.
These cannon are mostly old style
models Of engines Of war, which might
have been considered just the proper
thing 80 years or more ago, but which,
with the march Of progress and the ad-
vance OF invention, have been placed
upon the retired list Their places have
been filled by guns and munitions of
war OF more improved type, and as the
abandoned articles are valuable only as
old metal the government decided that
1t could put them to no better purpose
than to give them TO the veterans of the
late war, who fought on the Union side
with these same guns.
But IL Is surprising to count up Just
how few posts Of the immense Grand
Army have taken advantage OF this Of
fer. Since the passage of the joint reso-
luton last winter the records in the Of
foe Of the secretary Of the navy, where
such applications have to be fled, show
less than 100 from the entire country.
There are still guns on hand for about
700 more posts, yet, strangely enough,
the Grand Army has made no effort to
provide itself with an armament
which, although it would be Of little
service in time OF war, is valuable from
An artistic standpoint In time OF peace.

Editor of The PLANET,
Sunday, beautiful spring morn was
happily spent in this city, especially
at Beulah Baptist Church, where the
pastor, Rev. L. IL. Q. Messer preached
an excellent sermon from Romans {:
subject, Three things we need as
christians, viz: Patience, Experience
and Hope" After beautifully illus
trating the subject and electrifying
his congregation to great extent he
closed his sermon having scored an
other victory that shall lend brilIiance
TO his crown. A grand concert, the
first that has ever been given in his
new structure was announced for Mon
day night under the leadership of his
amiable and affectionate wife, Mrs. T.
II. 9. Messer, a new feature among the
Baptist Churches.
