"Stand Up for Jesus.

By Rev. {. h.. lIickok, AT the special song
service ut the Presbyterian Church sun.
day evening.
This popular hymn, familiar
from childhood, was written in
Philadelphia by Rev. George DUFF
field, the third of that name prom
lnent in the ministry of the Pres
byterian church. The pathetic or.
igin of the hymn centers about
Rev. Dudley A. Tying, an Episco-
pallsn clergyman. About 1857 he
withdrew from the rectorate of the
Epiphany church of Philadelphia
because of a controversy with his
vestry. Together with those who
followed him he organized the
Church of the Covenant, meeting
in a public hall. His liberal views
and active work along interdenom
national lines drew to him many

among these Rev. George Duflield
author of our hymn. This associ-
alton was made much closer thro'
the celebrated revival held in
Jayne's Hall, during 1857 1858.
On Tuesday, April 13, 1858, Mr..
Tying went to his country home,
near the city. Patting the neck of
mule running a tread mill for
shelling corn, his robe became en-
tangled in the machinery, tearing
one arm from the body. On the
following Saturday he died from
the injury received. On this last
day Of his life, asked if he had any
message to send to his fellow min
listers, he answered, Tell them all
to stand up for Jesus" This mes
sage made a deep impression upon
his CO. workers and were quoted al
the funeral services as his dying
message by several.
On the following Sunday, Rev.
George Dufiield preached to his
own congregation from Ephesians
6: ID, and as his concluding exhor.
tation, read the poem which w
now use so extensively in oul
church services and Sunday
Schools.

REPUBLICAN EXTRAVAGANCE.

The extravaganza OF the present ad-
minlstration is a dinlCult matter for
It's apologIsts to explain. First. there
is the deficit for the fiscal year 1888
OF over S4l ,000, 900 staring them In the
face, which has reduced the available
cash balance in the United Stntes
Treasury to the zero point, so that
Secretary Shaw will probably have to
again call on the banks for another
lnstallment OF the cash they hold and
on which they pay no interest. 1t is,
all very well to call the payments for
the Panama Canal an extraordinary"
expense and so excuse the present con-
ditions There are other expenses that
this administration has piled up that
are equally extraordinary that no ex-
cuses can palliate or gloss over.
Take the expenditures for the year
before the war with Spain. when the
Democrats were In power and the ap-
propriations made by the Republicans
for the present year. and the extrav-
agance OF the present administration
Is at once apparent.
