THE soRRowFUL CHRIST. .
[Catherine (Mrs. EdwinJ Markham.l
The Man of Peace came back again
one night;
Passed slowly down shell-torn battle
height,
Whereon a noise OF purple victory,
a whirl OF war. had scarcely ceased
to be.
And harried homes had sent their pite-
OF brother hating brother to that field.
Hot. choking fumes across the hilltops
swept,
Where late the little bands Of flowers
had kept
An open house for friendly. wandering
While leaves had lisping gossip in the
trees.
And wild, wet bloodmarks splashed tho
broken ground,
And birds with knowing eyes were cir.
cling round,
lPraising and cheering in their STIRLING
reel
These men who die that birds may have
Bleared bodies stretched them at the
white Christ's feet:
Not men bent there the living God to
meet.
But hurled and heaped in hurricane Of
rage,
And in their mouths q bite Of dust for
wage.
And they had starved and sweat and
cursed and died
To soothe some staggering lordling's
huffy pride. AZ
For some poor plume i the cap, some
Whimsy chance.
Some braggart's boast, some strutting
circumstance
Yet homes must feed the vultures, and
must feed
The huckster statesmen in their crawl
ing greed.
And then heard the tender Chris;
make moan,
i The AIothering One who makes all grief
His own.
His face was drawn with pain: heard
Him say:
and after all the ages. this today!
Bloodshed and blare and blaze of battle
flame.
Ravage ana rage, and yet they take
My name!"

THE CAUSE OF THE BoER UN-

Is our proclaimed method, our policy

man beings?"
Mr.. Morley is making precisely the
same mistake about the Boer war as
Mr.. Gladstone made is espousing the
cause of the south in the American civil
war. The gallant fight of the south was
in bad cause, and the successful as
sertion Of southern independence would
have meant the triumph Of slavery and
the victory of principles inherently evil
and absolutely opposed to all true hu-
man progress. In like manner the Boe1
lis fighting for an Independence which
he has abused. and struggling for a

THAT is far worse than the slavery once
practiced in the southern states o:
America. The cause Of the Boer is in
herently unholy and unjust, and is fun
damentally opposed to all true prog
gress ard civilization.

which he will introduce a bill author
izing the payment to the CuDans of the
amount missing. This will come out
of the funds Of the postal expenses of

paid directly out OF the treasury. Pres

publican members of congress are NOR

position that no time should be lost in
making good the losses caused by the
actions of those who are responsible for
the unfortunate condition OF affairs.
They are particularly anxious to do

President Mckinley, Secretary Root,

METHoDIsM AND ASSESSMENTS.
Rev Mr.. Youker.]
American Methodism was born at a
card table. Its founders We're immi-
grants who left the old country in 176s
with hymn and PRAYER and We're found
at card table in the new world in
1866 by Barbara Heck, who seized the
cards. threw them into a fire and called
the backsliders to repentance. She
reused Philip Embury from his lethar-
Egy, and in her home he preached to fig
people-the first Methodist congrega-
stion ever assembled in America.
It is alleged that Method.sn has out
grown the old ideas. and to be in har-
Imony with the spirtof this ageit must
make new departures; that to this end
tits stern condemnation of dancing,
i3lheater-g going. card playing, etc. mus.
! be modified or abrogated; that the indi-
/ vidual shall be guided in these matters
by the decision Of the court of con-
science.
| Such a recognition Of the court al
lconsicence coupled with such condem-
/ nation would be a sad exhibition of
4 moral cowarfice. If the church has
been too sweeping in its condemnation
of certain amusements there is a
straightforward thing to be done; it is
| to admit the fact and to say that thea
ter going. card playing, dancing. etc.
under certain restrictions are proper
and admissible
The colossal need of American Meth

odists--not in name, but in life.

WAITING FOR GOOD NEWS
Stocks Down and Very Quiet Pend.
ing News From South Africa.
Now That Butler Has
Passed the TugeIa it Is
Soon Expected.

Another slow Gay was experienced in
he stock market yesterday, but this is
OF expected to continue for more than
wo or three days. The mornings news
rom South Africa makes it seem prob
BILE that a big battle will be fought with
in the next day or go, and IL this proves
srue the bulls and bears will not have
the monotony OF the present market to
endure much longer. There was no rea-
eon to expect anything yesterday other
than the lethargy and irreguiarity of the
mast week.
The bears may be depended upon to
keep pressure on sugar and the fractions
in the hope OF bringing out liquidation
elsewhere. These stocks afford oppor-
tunity for quick turns by buying on very
soft spots.
The past week in the market has been
one OF the dullest experienced since the
south African war started. Heretofore
news had been coming in very lively,
but for week little or no news has been
received until Butler crossed the Tugela
river In the meantime wild rumors
we're circulated to the effect that Butler
mad been defeated with heavy losses.
These rnmorH all had tendency to keep
stocks down especially in London. The
market there has been practically at a
stand still. Now that Butler has crossed
Inc Tugela, definite news is expected in
q few days.
In London there is spirit of hopeful
less which would lead to considerable
ctivity in the market if favorable
rumors prevailing are verified. Foreign
houses in New York are practically
without orders for London accounts.
