riotous men when marching
through the streets of Baltimore
and the first northern blood was
shed in earnest of a war that fol:
lowed. A few days ago another
sixth Massachusetts Regiment
marched through the streets OF
Baltimore, toward the national
capital to avenge the Maine, and
the men were given cheers and
smiles and flowers, and their
escorts were veterans who had
wore the blue and those who had
wore the gray, and the sixth
Massachusetts Regiment to-day
will rush to the front to defend
old Glory, under the leadership
Of Fitzhugh Lee and Joe Wheel
er who are now major generals
in command of troops of the
Udited States Army, knowing no
north no South; knowing only
that our one common country
has foe to conquer and a dear
honor to maintain. The millen-
MUM has come among the men
who have right to speak for US
and to whom we look in time OF
trouble. Some day it is hoped
il will come to those in religion,
who stand for churches south
and churches north, instead of
one united church and who are
not yet able, while teaching the
forgiving lessons of the Savior
who forgave those who were
wounding him to death. The
way to heaven is straight, and
there should be no quarreling on
the road. A belief in God is too
great and grand to he cripple
with geographical limitations;
and the gospel of peace and sal
walton, and sweetness and light
which is for the good of all the
world, is too tender and true,
and 700 near the forgiveng heart
of the father of all mercies to
suffer from a thought of section
alism brought to it by biased
minds.

During the summer of 1891,
Mr.. Chas. P. Johnson, a we'll
known attorney of Louisville,
Kentucky, had a very severe at
tack of summer complaint. Quite
a number of different remedies
were tried, but failed to afford
any relief. A friend who knew
what was needed procured him a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
which quickly cured him and he
thinks, saved his life. He says
that there has not been a day
since that time that he has not
had this remedy in his house
hold. He speaks of it in the
highest praise and takes much
pleasure in recommending it
whenever an opportunity IS Of
fered. For sale by

SPIRIT OF FORGIVENESS.
During and since the civil war
the remark was often made that
a., A. rr;.

During and since the civil war
the remark was often made that
if foreign foe assailed the Unit
ed States all men, both north,
and south, would become as
brothers; they would stand side
by side, and fight the common
enemy shoulder to shoulder, as
if no politics and no religion
existed to keep the hearts of
men estranged. Even in the
days of battle, brave men who
used guns on opposing sides in
dangerous fields, learned to re-
spect each other. When allow
ed men who wore the blue, and
those who wore the gray, would
meet between the lines of battle
under flags of truce, and greet
each other like brave men, and
drink from the same canteen.
On fields of battle that through
bloody day have been occupied
by one army and by another, in
advance and retreat, sights have
been seen that would fill the
heart of Calvin or a Knox with
pity. A wounded soldier of the
north has been seen succoring a
wounded brother of the south;
two men have been seen lying
prone and stark dead-one wear
ing the blue and the other the
gray-with hands clasped. They
were brothers. and all had been
forgiven. There were no bitter
ness in the hearts of brave men
who fought as their reason die
tated. There was only the spirit
of forgiveness taught by the Sa-
vio- on that spring morning, at
Appomattox, when the leaders of
the great armies met and said
the cruel war was overland there
was only a grand sweetness of
Christian character shown when
Grant, as brave soldier and
as generous a foe as ever led an
army, returned the surrendered
sword to Lee, as courtly a knight
and heroic gentleman as ever
drew sabre in christian cause.
There was also gladness among
the men who set their faces
homeward to begin new life,
and to build up new fortunes
and rear better country. When
the sound of guns were no longer
heard nor the march Of contend
ed armies, bad breed OF polltl-
clans who had never fought and
never surrendered, appeared
with their mouths and stirred up
such strife as they could among
insects of their class; but they
were never respected, and never
had warrant to speak for north
or south. and long ago came to
grief and disappeared from the
dumping grounds, where they
were tolerated. The union Of
hearts and hands was made com
