Occur de Lion as a Canniba1.

An ancient chronicler makes an ex-
traordinary imputation of an acquired
cannibalistic taste on the part of Rich
ard the Lion Hearted. When warning
in the Holy Land he was seized with
ague, and as quinine was not then in
vogue, the leeches We're unable to cure
him. The first symptom of GONZALES
cence was a violent longing for pork,
an article of diet impossible to be had
in the country where the flesh of that
animal was held in adherence, and
where the pig could not be bought for
love nor money. The chronicler de-
scribes how an old knight, fearing that
the King might die if his longing were
not gratified, suggested as a substitute
d Saracen, young and fat
sodden full hastily
With pouder and with spicery
And with saffron of good colour.
The result justified the knights ex-
pectations, for the King, having par
taken of this dish, and having "gnew
the bones voraciously, fell into a SLEEP
from which he arose
Whole and sound,
When King Richard clad him and arose
And walked abouten in the close. [clothes.
1t is no wonder, therefore, that the
chronicler had ever afterward a very
high opinion of Saracen flesh as a good
and tender nutriment for sick English
soldiers. In his opinion there was
nothing so good, not even
Partridge, plover heron, ne swan
Cow, ne OK, ne swine,
AS the head of a Saracen.

IN RELIGIONS REALM.
EXPRESSIONS FROM VARIOUS
RELIGIOUS NEWSPAPERS.
The Religious Thought Of the Day
as Expressed in the Sec
tartan Press.

What will the Ritualists do?. oues-
tions the independent" anent the de-
cision of the Archbishop of Canter-
pury, concerning the use of incense,
llghts and professions in public wor-
ship. viii they quietly obey, obey
under protest, go on to Rome, where
they can have full liberty for the extra
ceremonies, or continue the contention
for Catholic comprehensiveness in the
church of England? They can take
no appeal, except possibly to the Lam
beth Council. If they are really loyal
| Churchmen it would seem as if they
must submit When the Bishop of
diocese calls upon all his clergy to
conform to the new decision what ex-
cuse can they give for refusal to do
so? They have protested their loyalty
to the Bishops, though they have not
always shown it. They must now
choose whether they will or will not
defy episcopal movement? BY no
means. Much is yet left to 1.-THE
veneration of the cross and auricular
confession, besides various practices
which have now become general and
have ceased to create antagonism. The
advance posts of Ritualism thirty
years ago are to-day the camping
ground of high churchism."
t In the opinion of the "Watchman"
(Bapt) of Boston, an infallible Christ,
rather than an infallible book, is the
basis of authority in religion. For
the moment it says, "let us leave out
of consideration the question whether
or not, as a matter of fact, the Bible
is verbally or dynamcally inspired, or
is entitled only to be regarded as
collection of fairly trustworthy docu-
ments. At least it reveals Christ Forth
from it's pages steps the likeness of the
Son of God. Is not that, after all, the
main point? Does it reveal Christ?
Does it give us trustworthy portrait
ure of His character, His purposes, and
principles, and dispositions? If it does
that, whatever it's manner of compost
ton, does it not fulfill the main end Of
Scripture? Certainly it does that, and
the wonder is that in it's portraiture of
Christ it reveals a character guided
by principles and moved by disposi-
tions which, as even John Stuart Mill
admits, it is vain to ina gine the writer's
u.
the literal hair-line correctness of every
sentence or paragraph, suppose that
the Bible is open to criticism, the fact
remains that as a totality it reveals
Christ, and brings Him clearly and di-
rectly before u.s.
Looking at this subject from a diff
ferent standpoint, the Living Church
+ P. Ed of Chicago says: THE Bible
is stronger than its destructive critics.
1t is in no danger; but the faith of
many is. The ruthlessly free handling
Of the Inspired Word of God by these
self-crowned dictators who announce
that black is probably white, and that
there is very grave doubt whether yell
low and blue ever made green, has re-
suited in much quiet scepticism among
many of our youth of both sexes. They
do not advertise their misgivings. per-
haps are not altogether conscious of

The Christian Register (Unit.) of
Boston does not share the fear, some

'Doctrinal preaching is not out of
date" asserts the "Universalist Lead
er" of Boston. There never was more
need of it than now; but while the
same doctrines are to be emphasized,
they are to be put in a different way.
There never has been preached a
stronger doctrinal sermon, theological
sermon. than that of DR.. Grove at Sar-
atoga, and yet it was as different from
the old-fashioned doctrinal sermon as
MONDAY is from dawn. and yet DR..
Grove preached the same great theo-
logical truth that Ballou and White
more preached, but he put it in form
adapted to IL o'clock. August =, 1899,
and it will be good reading for several
years yet We want. and what is still
more important the world wants, such
doctrinal preaching as that. The old
notions of theological orthodoxy still
hold captive the minds and hearts of
men. Men are not free to think and
feel out the sweet reasonableness of
the Gospel, and the chains must be
removed, not with the hammer of last
century, that so often hurt or slew the
captive, but unlocked and unclasped by
the keys of love and reason"

their state Of mind, but they stay away
from church and talk about the new
things-new thought, new age, new wo-
man, new everything; and if they lose
faith altogether. as many have, their
blood. will be upon these scholars and
these broad pulpiteers who have writ
new Bible with an Interrogation point
after every other verse, and publish
polychrome editions with all the colors

christianity, if not the mother of
music, has developed a music and song
of its own" says the Interior" (Pres)
of Chicago. There is to be found no
such music in any heather country as
is found in all Christian countries. Nat
urally and historically, Christian exper-
fence gives girth to Christian music.
This is because Christian experience
awakenS into power emotions that are
peculiar to itself. and which crave mu-
Steal expression. For souls uplifted into
glorious cheer and triumphing trust
and hope, mere word language is not
enough; the words need to be touched
into music in order to fit the case. That
Paul and Silas. scourged and thrust
into Jail, despite their bleedings wounds
made the dungeon and the midnight
ring with their songs of praise, was
perfectly natural; natural to men
whose souls We're stirred into such &C.
stacy as theirs of glorious and blessed
fellowship with the Divine One who
was thus revealing Himself within
them. The Gospel of Christ has never
gone anywhere that music did not go
with it. The history of Christianity is
traced in the history of Christian song.
,, There is no living church anywhere
without it's music and song. The mod
ern hymnology is something which the
atheist only makes himself foolish try
ing to account for. There is nothing
in his philosophy to explain it. That
there should be no song or music of any
kind at the funeral of Colonel Ingersoll
was altogether natural Music there
