The winter will soon be gone. Every
one is becoming infused with renewed
energy, with the near approach OF
spring.
The subject, "Spring," has been
much abused, but has justice ever been
done 1t? no indeed! Nothing but an
inspired pom could fitly tell OF tho time
when a;l nature puts on new and
beautiful attire. i, Of course, will not
attempt 1t, but simply express few
thoughts In connection with It. The
wonderful forethought and love OF God
how our hearts ought to overflow
with lovo to Him. The God that givest
with liberal hand the flowers, and
sends from pure founts above, the cool
rcircshlng showers. He paints the
sublime sunset clouds and tunes the
bird notes to the joyous chimes.
Tho Holmes meeting has been In pro
gress at Sardis Church, and has been
conducive of much good. Sometimes I
think our natures are emblemstic of
tho Spring. We need the reawaken-
Ing, or revival--the outpouring OF the
spirlt-that makes even the old Chris
tians like the birds Of Srrlng-burst
into now life. The latent spark there
becomes glorious light, that cannot be
hid under bushel, but light to
brighten the whole world.
God OF the Springtime hours, what
give we Thee
While thus Thou bounteous art?
Thou owest us naught, wo owe Thee ALI
Enjoyment, hope, thought, health, eter

The life beat of each heart.
This morn came birds.on pinions brigb,

Washington July 16.-Sixty thousand
men for the march to Pekin and twenty
thousand more to keep open the lines of
communication and if necessary to de-
fend the bases operation at Tien Tsin and
Taku is the estimate of the number of
troops that will be required in the Chi
nese campaign. Upon the basis Of these
figures, which it is said are those held
by the commanders of the allied forces
in China this Government will furnish
between ten and twelve thousand SOL
diers. This number is thought by the
officials to be all that we should furnish
in the present emergency. Indeed it is
more than was estimated should be our
share, as this was stated to be about
an even 10000.
The recent arrival home of battalion
of an infantry regiment at San Francisco
has given an opportunity to the War De-
partment to utilize several batteries of
artillery now on the coast for the China
service, their places to be filled for the
time being by the men of the home com
ing regiments. Today's orders also con-
template the sending of siege battery
of artillery now at Fort Riley, Kansas,
, for the China service
