the true spirit OF charity. They can
not live to themselves. They cannot
exist for the benefit alone OF their own
members and to the hurt Of outsiders.
II they would maintain their own rights
and promote their own welfare, they
must have respect for the rights and
welfare OF others. This is as true as
the gospel, and those are blind to their

CHARITY.

The sunday-school lesson for US, to.
day is that Wonderful discourse OF st,
Paul on charity. We shall not under
take to preach n sermon on the religious
aspect Of the subject, but there is
practical view Of charity, as the Apos-
tie applied the word, which men would
do well to consider In their secular at
fairs.
In the Revised Version the word Ia
translated love-" and love impIesl I'M
selfshness. Hence these remarks.
This Is the day OF organization, and
we would Impress the fact that organs
cations which are built upon the prn-
ciple Of selhshness are not built upon
sure foundations and will not last. The
successful organizations must have a
care TO the welfare not only OF Its own
members, but Of society, Even In busl-
NETS corporations, experience has shown
thN a liberal policy Is the wisest policy.

ypn1t his youth his face was somewhat

For the rest one may get a pretty good

When we think Of Washington we must
think Of the times in which he lived; Of
the sparse population and poverty OF the
country; OF the lack of trans portation and
equipments for his army; Of the danger
he and his compatriots incurred In re-
belling against their king. and then we
may the better understand their achieve

our country now with what 1t was in 1176

cry foredoomed7 Slavery was fore
doomed, and the leading men OF the
| South knew It. Some Of them had al
| ready begun to set their slaves free, and
| II they had been let alone by the North
or if the Confederacy had triumphetl,
abolished and the negro problem would
have been worked out by the rule OF
justice and common sense.
Tile Southern people understood, MS tho
people OF no other section OF the coun-
try understood, the art OF sef-govern-
ment. It was In this land of chivalry,
the land Of the cavaliers. that true
Democracy nourishcd, and II the South
ern Confederacy had been established we
should have given a splendid account OF
ourselves to the world. We should
have shown to the world an object-les-
son in genuine Democracy-we should
have shown to the world model re-
public.
We say this In no spirit Of disloyalty
to the Union. 1t Is cur country, and
we love and will defend 1t against all
corners. as the Southern people have
abundantly proved since the surrender
at Appomattox: but tho fact that we are
now by still waters and in green pas
ture does not obliterate the retrospect.
when we were buffeted on bloody seas
and ate the bread of affliction.
1t is perhaps we'll that the rising gen.
Grafton, to whom the desolation of the
war and the humiliation after the war
were unknown, should approve those
speakers and writer's who rejoice In the
failure of the Confederacy, but these
young ones know only the present situa.
ton. which is full Of hope to them.
They ignore the anguish OF their faith

truculency in government as was prac-
ticed by the Republican party, In the
days Of Its unbridled control. There
would have been well-balanced parties
in both republics and the two governments
would have negotiated on terms Of equal
ity and mutual respect. That the obil-
ition of slavery and the assurance Of
only one general government in the ter
rtory of the United States are. great
benefits In themselves, is not to. be de-
MED, But these benefits would have
been attained by methods less cruel and
ruinous than those which were pursued
had the South succeeded, or. better yet,
had there been no invasion Of the South,
and the processes of reason and interest
been allowed to + take their natural
