SHORT SERMONS.

People who wish to do right need no
law; those who are desiring the finest
and best things do not feel the touch or
pressure of any statute; they keep
within the limits of the right because
they have no desire to do otherwise
Rev. DR.. Savage, Unitarian, New York.
Love is the greatest thing, not only
in this world, but in all worlds. 1t is
the master builder of the home and
also of the human heart. 1t is the es-
sence of true religion. Our human
loves are but sparks of the great divine
love.-Rev. DR.. Waters, Congregation
alist, Brooklyn, N. Y.
To strive to find the best in life, to
get at is real though half-hidden
meaning, day by day faithfully look
ing always for the deeper, tTuer things
of life cannot fail to bless US. We live
to become something rather than to get
something. Heaven cannot come to
those wasting the life given to them for
development.-Rev. A. f. Bartlett,
UniVersalist, Manchester n. H.
To preach the gospel and to minister
to the poor is the mission of the church.
God designed his church to be a great
benevolent and charitable institution in
the world. "' He evidently did not

secular charitable institutions. We do
not hear of the early church casting
off it's poor saints upon the charities of
the Roman government-ReV. DR..

The Indians displayed a courage aud

not molested. and they fought with al
most scientific skill. using advance and

Miles. and finally surrendered at Bear

was not, however, because they were
beaten. but because. as Chief Joseph ex-
planned, he could not bear to see his

The story of the Nez Perces. the his
tory Of their wrongs, OF their weary
journeyings from place to place. Of the
many promises made by this Government
and violated, their stoicism and dignity
when suffering grievous injustice, is a
long one, and resembles in many ways
that of the Beers. They have been per-
secuted because of the venality of their
white neighbors. compacts made with
them have been broken. and their pa
thence under long suffering astonished
even their enemies.
It was not. however. until gold was
discovered in the Wallowa Valley that
an attempt was made to drive the Nez
Perces from their homes. AS soon as the
report was circulated that the precious
metal was to be found in abundance in
the valley, their Eden was overrun With
white men, and it is estimated that not
less than ten thousand prospecting
miners visited the Nez Perces country in
1861. members Of the tribe were killed
by the invaders. their cattle were stolen.
and they were treated harshly and con-
temptuously by their unwelcome visi-

them from their homes and to gain pos

Driven From Their Lands.
The cupidity Of the white men finally
bore fruit. and the order came from
Washington that these peaceful Indians
should leave the home Of their fathers.
1t required, surely. extraordinary moral
courage TO remain friendly to the whites
under these circumstances. and a part Of
the tribe advocated the forming of
league with the Crcvs and Blackfeet
against their common enemy, but the
chiefs were firm and unwavering in their
devotion to the Government and its laws.
II was ultimately decided BY the chiefs
and council that the tribe should yield to
the order from the Great Father and go
forth from their valley. In my heart,
