Adjournment of Congress

The first regular session Of the
Fitty-ffth Congress came to a close
last Friday, after a duration Of seven
months without a break, except the
customary winter holiday recess. In
some respects this session has been
the most remarkable ever held. 1t
has been characterized by a unan-
unity of action on the part of its
members upon the lines of loyalty,
and patriotic devotion to country,
which has won the admiration and
applause Of all except the Spanish
nation, and it has marked q new
and important era in the relations
between the North and the South,
as well as between members in
tensely partisan upon purely polit-
zeal questions. 1t was an inspiring
sight, and a scene which augurs
well for the future of this country,
when Republican, Democratic, Silver
and Populist members of both
houses lined up in solid phalanx
and voted as one man when our ma
ton was menaced by a common
danger from a foreign foe. In a ma
tional exigency, political and sec
tional differences were lost sight of.
and the sinews of war were provided
without stint. The late Confeder-
ates, both in and out of Congress,
have rallied around the cold flag"
with devotion which should silence
all question as to their present al
legiance to the Union as now consti-
tuted, and by their yalor they are
sustaining Gold glory" wherever she
may float. We do not assume,
however, that there was no display
Of partisan bitterness in Congress
during the recent session, On the
contrary, some Of the most disgrace
full scenes which ever occurred in
legislative halls were there witnessed,
but upon questions affecting a Wig
orous prosecution Of the war for the
improvement of our relations with
the Spanish Dons, partisan belliger-
ence would give way to desire to
make this a great and glorious ma
ton, in advance Of all others in sue
coring the oppressed.

CHAIRMAN Lookout Commute,
Miss SARAH Pow ELL
Meetings every Sunday evening at 6:30
O'Clock in church parlors.
Topic: Christianity Compared with
other Religions. Acts 17:22-31.
Religion is that which a man feels
at heart to be his vital relation to this
Universe and his duty and destiny in
it. a man 5 religion therefore is the
chief fact in regard TO him and deter
mines what he is and what he will do.
This is also true Of nation and in
answering the question Of its religion
we give its advance in civilization.
If it is Heathenism then brute force:
If POlytheism, then sensuality: if
Paganism, impiousness; if Skepticism
fear and disorder. In comparing one
religion with another we must see
each worked out in individual char
acter and we find that that religion
effects the most good in an individual
in which egotism gives place to love.
Egotism erects its ceLter in itself:
love places it out of itself in the uni
versal whole. Egotism SOws for graft
tude; love for ingratltude. EgOtism
lends; love gives Egotism aims at
solitude; love at unity. Love is the
ladder by which we climb up to like
ness TO God. Christianity reaches
toward this.
