Belief in God.

Here our comradship with the
Father is blessed; there it will be
blissful. We can be satisfied only
with God and with his eternal pres
ence.
BY slight change III the conclud-
ing clause we may agree with Dean
Stanley as follows:
To believe in Presence within us
pleading with our prayers, groaning
with our groans, aspiring with our
aspirations-to believe in the divine
supremacy of conscience-to believe
that the spirit is above the letter-to
believe that the substance is above
the form-to believe that the mean.
ing is more important than the words
to believe that truth is greater than
authority or fashion or imagination,
and will at last prevail-to believe
that goodness and justice and love
are the bonds of perfectness, without
which whosoever liveth is counted
dead though he live, and which bind
together those who are divided in all
other things whatsoever--this, ac-
cording to the biblical uses of the
word, is involved in the expression.
| believe in God and in his presence
with us.-Dean Stanley

The Home Readings.

One of the incest plans of making
life pleasant is to give a few minutes
each day to reading In the Bible.
What makes 1t still nicer is to have
it so arranged that each one in the
class and school reads the same each
day; then, still better, the parts of
the Bible read will be a help on the
Sabbath school lesson. This is why
we have the Home Readings. They
give a nice Bible passage to read
every day, each one help on the les
son for the coming Sabbath, and alike
for all to read Exchange.

SOUTH AFRICAN SCOUTS.
A Famous Body of nritinh Troopers
Usually Known as "The
Night Cata."

In hflly country like South Africa,
when fighting an ever-moving we'll
mounted foe like the Beers, the only
possible way for an advancing general
to gain accurate information of the
enemy's movements is by fairly flood
ing the country with cavalry scouts.
This was the method adopted by the
Germans in the war with France. The
terrible Uhlan scouts, in 1870, spread
terror throughout the country. In
small parties of perhaps half dozen
men. the Uhlans would dash into the
villages and towns. seize the maire
and order him to instantly prepare
for the regiment following, and to
give all information required, Ca pain
OF death to himself and destruction to
his village. The Uhlans became the
most dreaded men in France. The
moral effect upon the enemy when
hosts Of cavalry are continually wor-
rying them and spying on them is
very great--far jh excess, indeed. OF
the actual execution they effect.
It is, Of course. immeasurably more
difficult to discover the whereabouts
of an irregular. guerrilla and mobile
army like tine Beers. hiding in rock
covered hills, than 1t would be in a
case OF better trained army in a
more open country. An enemy who
invariably takes up strong positions,
who does not remain when defeated
to be cut to pieces, but disappears
like magic on wiry ponies from his
slow-moving foes, hust be over
matched by cavalry IL be is to be
whtl,ped-bodies Of regular or irreg-
ular horsemen who sweep over the
country before and behind him, at
tacking here, threatening there, and
then away to play general havoc else
where, and so keep up a perpetual
state Of unrest.
For this work no type Of men are
better suited than the British yeo-
manry. or the British rough-riding
culoD.sts-Australians. New Zealand
crs. Canadians. Natal men. Cape men
and others who have volunteered from

Maj Rlmington's corps of guides
may be taken as typical of what a
body of scouts should be for work in
such country as South Africa. Maj
Rimington calls his men "Catch'em-
alive-o's," while they have come to be
known generally as 1.-The Night Cats"
because os their night marches and
the catlike stealth of their move
ments. Every man in Rimington's
guides is obliged to speak Boer OF
Kaffir and may know both dialects.
; One of the qualifications is that
every man shall be thoroughly ac-
quainted with some part of the coun-
try. The men are armed with car
bines and pistols, officers and men
wearing the same dust-colored uni
form, almost indistinguishable even
at short distances. A picturesque.
jaunty touch is given to the otherwise
sober uniform by the little strip of
