VALUE OF OUTWARD WORSHIP
Some HeIpfal Thoughts on Devotions,
Public and Private, for the
Christian.

Because true worship T. spiritual
communion, IL does not at al follow
that outward worship, public worship,
the proper use Of forms even, are Of no
value and may be dispensed with. The
forms Of worship-using the word
"form" here IN its good sense-are Of
the greatest value. As some one puts
iti "Our devotons. said to be ever done,
viii be found never done unless some
times soiemnly done"
The Christian cannot well live hislife
without outward worship. public and
private. Most certainly we ought to be
spiritual OF our daily business But
how is one 10 keep IN the spiritual con-
dition day by day, save as the Sabbath
finds him in the sanctuary, where he
walks upon the high places Of bis
faith7 The Sabbath and the sanctuary
are 20 be sure means, not ends, but as
means they are practically indispens-
able 10 the good ordering Of the Chris
tian life. Is our life flowing along the
ranges Of ordinary prosperity We
need the fervor Of public worship TO
keep # from o material monotony.
Does it chance that we have met with
some great good fortune? We need
these holy Influences TO keep Us from
becoming sordid and worldly. Has sor-
row fallen upon MS, and do our hearts
ache2 Where IS a better place than
Gods house 70 which 10 turn with our
grlefs? Surely there something Of
Divine peace will come, as balm 10 the
wounded spirit
The prayers, the songs Of praise, the
Word Of God, the truth spoken by Gods
mbassador-these all combine 70 make
the Sabbath O day Of holy rest, and the
sanctuary o spot Of brightness in the
midst OF the turmoil or the monotony
of our daily lives. For the time our
spirits arc disenthralled, and we come
closer TO the Almighty Spirit and so
find strength and patience, and courage
10 bear the cares and anxiety and
toll of the workaday world. Here is
found the value Of the Sabbath, and Of
all that IS implied IN keeping It holy.
Here is found the value Of the family
altar, and Of the place for the "stll
hour The outward worship greatly
helps the inward spiritual life.-O. A.

SHERMAN AND THE PASSES.
A Singular Mixing of Signatures at
the breaking Out Of the
Civil War.

In the back part Of John Cawthra's s
desk at the county jail in this city Is a
photograph that has all the appear
ances Of age, but the features are easily
recognizable as those of Gen. William
T. Sherman. Below the picture Is the
generals signature, and on the back.
in plain hand is written:
ITO the Association of the old Thir-
teenth New York Volunteers. With
best compliments Of w. T. Sherman,
General Washington. d. C.. Oct. II.
1873"
Gen Sherman always had a warm
place in his heart for the members Of
the old Thirteenth" said Mr.. Cawthra,
as lie picked the portrait up and turned
back an edge that had been bent out
OF place by coming IN contact with a
pair Of handouts, "and the boys Of
the Thirteenth have some pleasant rec
objections Of the days when they were
fighting under him. They say, though.
that first impressions are the strong
est, and I think that the incident that
happened near Washington, before the
fighting had actually begun, Is one Of
the most vivid l remember Of Sher-
man.
1T was IN June Of 1851, and the First
brigade, under Sherman-he was
colonel then, with the rank Of acting
brigadier generai-and the Seventy
ninth Highland regiment Of New York
city. the Sixty-ninth New York, and
Second Wisconsin regiment were drawn
up along the Potomac. Our regiment
was encamped near Arlington Heights
on the west bank Of the Potomac. and
we had strict orders 20 guard the bridge
over the river, and allow nobody who
didn't have a pass TO get by. II was
terribly hot The temptation TO go
over TO Georgetown for little rlaxa-
tion at night time led q great many
fellows from our regiment TO apply for
passes early, the result being that the
demand FAR exceeded the supply. The
colonel had started In by allowing each
ltb lhtNl OV lidSrtbl NAlNA BufN cuNA
company IN each Of the four regiments
five passes. 1t happened, though, that
some Of the men abused the privilege
little by their actions while away on
leave. and when the colonel heard of
this he declared. IL his own vigorous
language, that he would stop that busi-
ness, and proceeded 70 do so by cut
ting down the passes Of every blessed
company fl~ five 20 one for each
night. That came pretty hard ON the
men IN our regiment
We'll, the colonel was hopping mad
the next morning when, instead Of re-
cciving only ten passes from our regi-
ment, upward Of 90 were presented.
and what made him mndder than any
thing else was the fact that although
almost all the passes were bogus. IL
was almost impossible 70 tell which
were the bad ones Each one had the
signature Of Col Sherman, Col. !. 2.

Ventilation Very nad.

A high army officer, whose fad was
ventilation, was one day making an
inspection Of frontier post which was
very much IN need Of repair. In some
places the roof showed the blue sky
overhead and the walls were ornament
ed with gaps
The brigadier general was escorted
through the building by the colonel in
charge, o sergeant going on before
as is the custom, TO warn the men TO
stand at attention IN honor Of the gen
eral.
AS they proceeded the general asked'
"And how IS the ventilation, colonelY'
Before the colonel could reply, the
old sergeant, with familiarity born
of long service, said;
"Sure, general, an the ventilation Is
bad, sorr, vera bad, sorr. The place
Is all full Of holes, sorr."-DetroiS Free
