THE LOVE OF DIRT.
1ndisposition of Mankind Generally to Sub.
" init to Sanitation.


An Eastern newspaper, commenting
upon theindisposition ofsmankind gen
orally to submit to sanitary innovation,
refers to the population of Havana
Cuba, as the most incorrigible on earth.
The American military authorities who
have been running that city for some
time have insisted upon sewering.
scrubbing, deodorizing and sterilizins
the town, and on all sides the people
are objecting to the process and max
ing lnvidious comparisons between the
methods of the American health officers
and the tyranny of the Spanish tax
gatherers. Evidently they think it
was easier to get along with the Span
lards than it is now with the Ameri-
cans, since they are being made the
victims of cleaning-up processes. which
they regard with holy horror. In
deed, one newspaper openly declares
that they prefer to be left undisturbed
with their filth and death rate.
But this attempt to force cleanliness
upon the people of Havana is not being
met with any less hilarity than the
American civilizing methods are being
received in the Philippines. A Manila
correspondent for an Eastern news
paper wrote the other day that General
Otis had made the people of Manila a
great deal cleaner than they cared to
be made, and he predicts that if the
American General persists in his sani-
tary plans, he will soon have the ma
tive population in rebellion.
These things sound exceedingly
funny, but it will be remembered that
the population of Bombay few years
ago persisted in dying of the plague
rather than submit to sanitation
But are the barbarian tribes of tropi-
cal countries the only people who re-
sist cleanliness? We remember that
when Colonel Waring took charge of
the New York Street Cleaning Depart
ment his sanitary schemes were re-
sisted with great strength by Tam
many Hall, and when he was finally
turned out of Office by Boss Croker,
the people rejoiced that they could
freely return to their muddy streets
and foul-smelling sewers. This sounds
funnier still.
The antipathy which most people
have to cleanliness is one of the mar
vels of history. 1t can be explained on
no theory except that it is natural for all
animals to be dirty.-San Francisco
Post.

wife ran out, upset a four-gallon

10 Parents

1t is a great and prevalent error,
that children may be left to run wild
in every sort of company and temp
tation for several years, and TINT
then it will be time enough to bring
them in. This mistake makes hall
of our spenbthrilts, gamblers
drunkards and thieves. No man
deals 20 with his garden; no man
would raise a colt or a puppy ON
such a principle and expect it to
develope into a beautiful well dis
posed animal.
Take notice parents, I'LL the new
soil, throw in the good seed, the
devil viii have a crop Of poisoned
weeds before you know what has
taken place. Look at your dear
children and think whether you can
afford to leave their safety or run
any hazards, or whether YOU
should train them up in the way
they should GO Your children
are the only gifts you have on earth
You may be the humbleinstrument
in Gods hands in trying to take
them with you to heaven, or in Sa-
tins hands lead them to hell
Which will you do' Don't wait to
cover the coiiius of your dearly be-
loved children with flowers, scatter
them in LIES pathway. Teach
your children their duty to wor-
ship God, to obey his laws, to seek
the guidance Of his Spirit, and the
salvation Of his Son. Scatter flow
ers along the pathway of life, illus
trate the blessedness Of a divine
life, the beauty Of holiness, aud the
joyful hope Of heaven.
The future Of our country de-
ponds upon the education Of the
rising generation. Ii in our haste
to be rich and mighty, we neglect to
educate our children morally and
religiously, we will sink into abso-
lutte despotism or anarchy. Knowl-
edge is a power that every one
should and can possess through ed
ucation, but the highly educated
mind without moral restraint too
often becomes an awful william.

Our polity is the direct product OF
the New Testament. "It is born OF

Baptists, Unitarians, UniversalIsts, Dis

Congregationalists define the visible

of all those who publicly confess their

agreement to observe Chlist's ordnan'

To form a local church no outside au
