The New York World states that the
railroads alone employ 100000 souls
nearly all grown men, representing
more than 100000 people. \ general

consequently mean more daily com

Cancellation may be the result. These
instances of seIf-immOlatiOn upon the
altar of duty to family are refreshing
to those who are disposed to believe
the milk of human kindness to be dry
ing up, but they are not so rare as
some may suppose. Several cases have
been brought to my attention where
able ministers of the gospel have gone
on for years, nursing a skeleton in
their home closets, yet counseling
charity, mercy, benevOlence to the un-
fortunate ones of their parishes, re-
uniting the estranged, sOftening asper-
tiles between opponents and working
manfully for the public veal under a
load of difficulties which no one but
fhe Almighty shared with them. To
shed sunshine among mankind, when
ones own heart is aching is the purest
Christianity, and the action of the
western minister, whose voluntary alb
dicatiOn saved a family name, and of
others whose pride is too great to ask
| even sympathy save from the Great
| Father, are examples which ought to
| give us pause when we are inclined to
| pass hasty judgment upon the limita-
tions of our brethren, when we are
wholly ignorant of the secret springs
that move them to courses incompre-
| hensible to US.

school, church, places of public accom-
mediation, politics or anything else, l
see no reason for alarm in this con-
nectiOn. The church is a social insti-
tuition, and though the gospel is sup
posed to be free and that the peoples
of the earth are brethren, we know
that the whole thing is a polite fiction,
and that the ruling sentiment of To-
cality fixes as irreVOcably as the laws
OF the Medes and the PerSians just who
are and who are not welcome at the
foot of the cresS. when that cross is
under control of the brother in white.
In many communities in the North, no
color distinctions are made; in nu'
merOus others of the same section So
cial reasons are urged for a separation,
and very generous aid is extended to
the Negro to equip a house of worship
for himself In the South, of course,
social conditions have been against
union of the races along any line, but
the better classes have always given
literally of their means as a SalVe to
their consciences. The same thing is
happening here in the case of the Sew
enth Day Adventists. Washington is
accustomed to the separate church,
just as she is accustomed to the sep
arate school, hospital, restaurant, no
tel and social system; so one more
separate church, where the operation
is performed with a smile and the gift
of building does not aggravate the
situation to any appreciable degree, in
my opinion. Such a distinction was
bound to come, in the natural order
of events in a community like this,
and if an amicable division is essen.
tial to the peace and prosperity of the
work of eVangeliZatiOn, no harm is
done. AS a matter of fact. the colOred
followers of the Seventh Day AdVen-
tists.will be better pleased to be under
their own government, administered
and controlled in their own way, and
pastOred by a man of God IL whom
they have confidence, and from whom
they can expect sincere sympathy in
every relation of life. The Episcopal,
the Presbyterian, the Lutheran, the
NJ. E, and other churches led by eau
casion authority have found that sep
arate congregations are preferable in
certain localities, and they have grown
immeasurably since the coming of the
educated colored minister The Cath
olics are finding it out, and it is only
a question of time when even the pa
pal declaration of ecclesiastical unity
will be construed to be intact in its
spiritual aspect, but with distinct
places of worship for the brother in

This little essay on religion reminds
me of a piece | saw in current pub
lication announcing the resignation OF
a popular preacher in a western clty'
whose separation from the wife OF ms
bosom SO impaired his usefulness IN
the pulpit as to necessitate an lnVestl-
CATION at the hands of a high church
committee. 1t turned out that the
trouble was domestic incOmpatiblllty,
and that he had suffered much before
resorting to a separation, and when
driven to this last resort, he had given
his family adequate support. Public
clamor brought the facts to the sur
face, and when the bishops insisted
that he show cause why he should not
be disciplined for violation of the
church's canon about putting away a
wife" etc, rather than bring forward
evidence in self-justitication that
would tend to reflect upon the good
name of his erstwhile spouse, he de-
clined to appear before the committee,
resi- gned his pastOrate and quit the
ministry. The wife was deeply touch

same is understood on the American

have simply done the expected, and

Major Arthur Brooks is a force in
this community, who is seldom seen by
the laity except upon parade day, but
there isn't a harder-wOrked man in
the District of Columbia than this en-
ergetic and painStaking head of the
First Separate Battalion of the DIS
trict National Guard. Modest in de-
meanOr and unaSSuming when seen in
public places, he is the man who is re-
spOnSible for the glory that attaches
to the annual competitive drills of the
high school cadets, and shares a part
or the luSter of victory on those stellar
events, whether Company A, B or c
happens to carry off the medal. He is
the military idol of the boys at the
high school, and while they love their
lady principal, the warlike spirit and
manly patriotism is kept alive by the
kindly, yet rigid, discipline of their
master-genius, Major Brooks. 1t is
doubtful il Northumberland Miles,
arrayed in a uniform that would
shame Solomon in all his regal spIen-
dor, could divorce from their Juvenile
minds one jOt or title of the prefer
ence they feel for the commander, who,

turned from a vacation spent pleas
