A Canadian paper says: A propoai-
tion is now being discussed to reduce
the postage rate between the United
States and Great Britain to two cents
as has been done-between Canada and
the mother country. The change meets
with favor among postal authorities of
both countries, and convention will
likely be held in the near future to
bring it about.

 splendid congregation assembled yes- terday morning at the Cumberland Pres- byterian church, corner Eighteenth street and Fifth avenue, to hear the sermon which Rev. R. D.

 Dr. Wear took for his text Timothy IT.. Chap. IT. verse 3: Thou therefore endure hardships as good soldier of Jesus Christi
 The sermon
 "This text was written by Paul in let ter to Timothy young man studying for the ministry" said Dr. Wear and was from a man who knew all about the art of war to one of a peaceful vocation. There is a striking analogy between the military soldier and the Christian soldier, and the same lessons will apply to both. The art of war does not consist entirely of martial airs and streaming flags and great pa rades there is a sterner and severer side, and in this particular these two profes- sions-the one of carnage and bloodshei, the other of peace and love-are so simi- lar War is essentially a vocation of hardship and suffering. Long and tiresome marches, exposure to sickness and disease, to say nothing of death, the strain and privations of camp life, the removal from all the good influences of home life-from mother. sister, from wife and from the fair-haired little sweetheart. Anyth ng that forces man to bear more than he Is accustomed to, or more than he ought to, whether it be moral or physical strain, Is a hardship. I have heard 1t said that some of you young men being clerks, and others of you leading sedentary lives, would not be able to stand the strains of camp life, and that you would not be successes as soldiers. But have heard old soldiers say that it Is the young, pale-faced city lad who, fired with patriotic zeal makes the best soldier. ..,4

 Actuated by a Noble Cause
 "You soldiers have as noble a cause and are moved by laudable an ambition as ever moved men to military achievements.
 "To be a good soldier, you must know how to obey. The best lesson for a citi- zen as we'll as a soldier is to learn to obey.
 "A good soldier must be a patriot and in love with the country for which he is fighting. Hired soldiers are at times suc- cesses, but never as much as to the little band of three hundred Spartans, who, for the love of their country fought and died at Thermopoae. An officer of the German army told me less than a year ago that the national guard of the United States were the best soldiers in the world, not because they have the training. possibly. of some of the European countries, but because of the spirit which prompts our young men to undertake military duty.
 "A good soldier must be intelligent. How can man who has no higher moral in stinct be a good soldier?
 This mornings newspaper tells us Alabama will be called upon for 2500/ Of this number, Birmingham will probably furnish several nundred, ana when the news comes from the front that you have bathed in undying fame the old Glory of this great republic, we will around this altar lift on high the praises of our heroes. (Applause) I would rather be citizen of the United States than the ruler of the proudest government of all history Let this be your motto.
 "As dearly as your mothers, wives, sis- ters and sweethearts love you, they would rather see you buried in a Cuban grave than to think that you would ever prove coward on the field of battle or that you would ever prove recreant to the trust Your country has bestowed upon you"
 Exampies of Great Men
 Dr. Wear then gave the inspiring exam ples of many of the great military leaders of ancient and modern times. Caesar, Alexander, Wellington, William of Orange, Louis XV., Napoleon, Nelson, Lee, Grant, Taylor Scott Wolfe, Mad Anthony Wayne, Stonewall Jackson, the true model soldiers to pattern after, and others.

 Sermon to Veterans
 Dr. G. c. Kelly preached a magnificent sermon to the Confederate Veterans at the First Methodist church yesterday morning. Besides the regular congregation, members of Camps Davis and Hardee were present in uniform.
 Dr. Kelly chose for his text 2d Tim iv-vii. "I have fought a good fight" He said in part:
 You readily recognize the text the words of one of the great captains of hu- manity, spoken when he was veteran near the close of his eventful life All subse- quent history bears witness that he was a valiant champion of spiritual liberty Whoever puts off his armor at the end of his warfare and say truly, I have fought good fight is a victor, whether the cause for which he drew sword trl- umphed or failed.
 'There are two principles that govern so- ciety-individualism and unity. When either is unduly stressed there is a reac- ton. The peace of socie.vr1s conserved by the harmonious adjustment of them. The civil struggle of history here waged in behalf of one or the other of these prin- ciples. Men are wont to speak of the cause for which the south stood as "The Lost Cause.' That is a correct designation only as to some of it's aspects. l take 1t that personal rights, and state rights are terms sthat express a principle that has not passed away, that is abiding truth.
 "Ony men who had fought good fight would have so readily accepted the issue or the struggle, and set themselves to the task of adjusting their plans in good faith to the changed conditions. From Lee to Gordon the voice of the Confederate sol dier has been heard in behalf of a united country. History presents no parallel to so speedy a reconciliation of hostile states. scar. is not beautiful but 1t marks the strongest part of the living intequement. The civil war marks not the period when the union was saved, but when 1t was made.
