gentlemen came in, and after some
general conversation said they were
going to Berlin to Gerhardt, the de-
posed minister. Madam Gerhardt
turned pale with alarm, fearing some
new calamity.
Her husband however, with entire
self.possession, told the strangers that
he was the man. One of the gentle
men then gave him a letter from Duke
Christian of Meresburg, informing him
that in view Of his unjust deposition
from the church in Berlin he had set
tied pension on him.
Gerhardt in the joy of that moment
quietly turned to his wife and gave
her the hymn he had composed in the
early part of the evening, when all
was so dark and seemingly hopeless.
"See," said Gerhardt, as he handed
his wife the hymn, "see how God
| provides"
The hymn which, according to ira
dition, had this interesting origin, was
first published in 1859. 1t was one
among many others which was trans.
lated by John Wesley.

UNION VERSUS GUARD.

Every patriotic citizen who knows of the atti-
tude of antagopism assumed by the trade or
ganizations at Schenectady and other places
against the citizen soldiery will be pleased to
read the opinion expressed by Judson S. Lam
don, former justice of the Supreme Court
One of the rules of the Brotherhood of Paint
ers, Decorators and Paperhangers in defining
the qualifications for membership says: PRO
'tvided, however, he is not a militiaman, and
.'if so he shall be debarred from membership" :"
Despite this rule. and possibly because investi-
cations were made in a superficial manner
members of the National Guard have been ad-
mitted into the organization and when the fact
that they were guardsmen was discovered they
were expelled. William Potter was one of
these and as TO his case Mr.. Landon SAYS:
Potter is an abebodied citizen of the State be-
tween the ages OF eighteen and forty-ive not
exempt from military duty by any law of the
by the eleventh article of the State constitution
of the militia of the State, and under the
constitution and laws of the United States a
member of the national militia His voluntary
enlistment in the National Guard makes him
a member of the active militia of the State and
refuses to report for active duty when so ordered
by his superior officers.
The military organizations are composed
largely of workingmen, many of whom are
members also of labor organizations They are
