The Christian Militant
BY GEN. o. o. HOWARD,
L. S. A, Retired.

- ASTER Sunday IS the festival
r. OF the resurrection of Christ,
- and / am glad to attempt to
prepare an article upon THE
Church Militant" which has made
this festival a great JOY TO the peO-
pie. There are two distinct divisions
OF this subject. The one looks
mainly TO what the armies OF the
world have done in paving the way
for human progress and Christian
civilization; and the other assem-
bles all the believers in Christ into
organizations which have the sem
blance of an army.
Webster's definition is The
Church Militant - The Christian
Church on earth, which is supposed
to be engaged in a constant warfare
against its enemies and is thus dis
tinguished from the church tri-
umphant in heaven" Still in COM
mon use there are Gas above out
lined) two senses to the expression
'"The Church Militant" One is the
part the armies of mankind have
PLAYED in preparing the way, in con-
solidating and in extending the
Christian Church, and the other is
the part that all Christian believers
have had in making converts tc
what is called the Christian faith
and more still in preserving an &c
tive belief in Christ from generation
to generation in the families and in
the organized churches. In this sec

The synagogue furnishes the
model for the individual Christian
church. Every time | have visited a
synagogue during its services have
been struck with the similarity be-
tween its form of worship and that of
our own Congregational churches.
The instant that a body of Hebrew
believers recognize the Savior as
their prophet, priest and king in a
spiritual sense, there appears to me
to be but a shadow of difference be-
tween them and US, and ! am fond
of going into the synagogues where

better civilization; yet they were
most stringent in teaching a clear
knowledge of Jehovah and obedience
to His commands. Whenever they
obeyed the Lord, following Him with
all their hearts, they were successful
in their warfare. Whenever they
disobeyel Him, whatever form their
government took, Jehovah disowned
them and scattered them and pun
ished them in various ways. The
prophets all laid more stress upon
the keeping Of the statutes of God

is using for blessing mankind. The
ordinary work of preparation, how
ever, to which we above refer was
carried on largely by the children of
Israel. They conquered with arms

idolatry and had yielded themselves
to vice of every description. They

ond division all the churches are re-
garded like separate regiments, bri-
gades and divisions of armies, and
at the head of the whole body is
Christ the Lord. Writers in all ages
have used the army as smile to
illustrate the work which the Savior
laid out for His apostles and dis
ciples.
The Apostle Paul (Ephesians, yD
urges upon his friends the spiritual
warfare in remarkable language.
He says: Put on the whole armor
OF God, that ye may be able to stan;l
against the wiles of the devil For
we wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against municipalities,
against powers, against the rulers
OF the darkness of this world
against spiritual wickedness in high
places. Wherefore take unto YOU
the whole armor of God, that We
may be able to withstand in the evil
day, and having done all, to stand
Stand, therefore, having your loins
grit about with truth, and having on
the breastplate of righteousness.
And your feet shod with the prepa-
ration OF the gospel of peace. Above
all, taking the shield of faith, where
with ye shall be able to quench all
the fiery darts of the wicked. And
take the helmet OF salvation and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the
word of God. Praying always with
all prayer and suppiieation in the
Spirit, and watching thereunto with
all perseverance and supplication for
all saints" $780,

success Oh armies.
We can now very clearly see in
the light of history how our armies
have paved the way and have had a
great part in conserving our present
civilization as in Our revolutionary
war, which established American in
dependence; as in the war of 1872,
which overthrow a particular form of
tyranny; as in the war with Mexico,
which resulted in getting lis our do
main from ocean to ocean; as in the
civil war through which we have
passed, in giving us a nation free
from slavery and a Constitution
which established our state rights,
with proper state limitations, upon a
hrmer foundation, and as in the war
with Spain, which has removed a
fearful nuisance at Our doors, giving
Cuba independence and prosperity,
and has brought Porto Rico and
the Philippines under the American
flag. Surely this was not done with
view to the extension OF the Chris
tan religion Probably none OF our
people had these results distinctively
in mind, yet these results are some
of the benefcent fruits of the great
contests.
] was once passing through an
immense forest on the Pacific coast
and there came on a terrific storm.
In the midst of the storm the trees
were bending and breaking. It was
near night and | had with me but
one man, and he was a soldier. Large
trees fell across our pathway. The
lightning played upon the forest for
miles around, tearing the limbs Of
the trees to pieces and starting fires.
With every flash the forest was light
as day, and then came the rain,
quenching the fires, and leaving
darkness so dense that we could
scarcely pick Our way. A succession
OF such storms has DESTROYED that
forest and we have evidence that
such storms have destroyed many
forests which have prepared the way
for the wants of civilization, so that
today where the forests were there
are broad lands ready for farms, gar
dens, thriving villages and prosper
Gus cities. look upon the war with
all its desolation as look upon the
storm or the forest fire which for
the time being seems to be inimical
to the best of human interests.
After Our civil war, by the request
of Mr.. Lincoln, | was put in charge
of the freedmen and refugees. They
were in great need and our people
stroye to relieve their Immediate
wants, but the conviction was strong
upon all thoughtful men that there
was something in the line of relief
better than to supply immediate ply
steal wants. said, on Our first meet
ing, to our Secretary of War, "Edu-
| cation is the true relief to the freed
men and refugees and their chill
dren." There was then great oppo-
sition to Our general government ex-
| ercising such benevolent functions
/ but these were exercised, though not
on so large scale as they ought to
| have been.
Since the Spanish war / have no
ticed that there was but little objec-
| ton made to the exercise of benevo-
lent functions by our government in
the Philippines. On the contrary,
large parties Of teachers have been
sent by the United States to that

were multiplied five to one from the
islands themselves as soon as the
islanders were capable of teaching
The war doubtless was not prose
cuted from the beginning to the end
of it with distinctively benevolent
purposes. 1t could not have been.
But just as soon as peace was Sc
cured then was the opportunity for
the secondary warfare TO which /
have referred. More and more is
the government OF the United States
fostering education, and the states
are establishing universities and car
rying forward the instruction OF the
youth of the land. Surely this is a
part of the warfare Here We have
the picketS and the skirmishers OH
the front and flank carrying knowl-
edge and light to every quarter of
our vast domain. Will it not be fol-
lowed by the whole army - that
army OF men who believe in and will
carry out the idea more and more
of putting on the whole armor OF
salvation?

the land scatters its papers, its book

And today we have the faithful

the call of the Master, so that every

PIRACY OF 10Th CENTURY.
Art Treasures Rescued from the Sea
by Divers Stolen by Gre
clan Rovers.

A picturesque bit of twentieth-cen-
fury piracy is reported from the isles
of Greece. Antiquaries believe that
they have fixed the position off Anti
cythera, the modern Cerigotto, of the
ships laden with art treasures and
plumber that Mummius dispatched to
Rome after the capture of Corilth,
over 1000 years ago, and which are
recorded as having sunk in storm
in that neighborhood. Within three
or four years the sea has yielded up
objects of great artistic and archaeo-
logical worth to the divers that the
Greek government employs on the
spot, notably the marvellous bronze
ephebos now in the Athens museum.
Very recently the divers were at
tackled by pirates and robbed of their
latest hauls from the sea. The in
trinsic value of the bronzes and mar
bles they may have brought up is
slight, but the pirates must have some
idea of the prices collectors will give
for them. The Greek government has
sent a gunboat in search of the thieves.
If it captures them it may find out
whether they are mere freebooters or
the instruments of INSCRIPTIONS art
collectors.

importing Sacred Cattle.

The government has undertaken to
superintend the introduction into this
country of the sacred cattle of India
for breeding purposes. The reason
why these cattle are desired by cat
tlemen is that they are immune from
pleuro- pneumonia, which has caused
such heavy losses through infection
by cattle ticks. The ticks, it is as
serted, cannot work on the sacred cat
tie. Experiments have been carried
on for years to demonstrate this fact.
The introduction of one-eighth of sa-
cred blood in the ordinary American
cattle is said to be enough to obtain
immunity Secretary Wilson agreed
to afford facilities for the importation
of Indian cattle, but on condition that
a government veterinarian should ex-
anime every beast before it was
bought and give his approval to the
purchase. The expenses of the vet
erinarian are paid by the cattlemen.

LAND PATENTS HELD UP.
Forty-Two Thousand of Them Are
Stored Away in Vaults
in Muskogee.

Forty-two thousand patents to land
in the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
are lying in the vaults of the commits
sion to the five civilized tribes in Mus
kogee, duly executed by the governors
of the two nations, approved by the
secretary Of the interior and ready for
delivery. The commission is holding
them under instructions from the sec
rotary of the interior and the tribal
officials assert that the secretary is
delaying action in hope of getting au-
thority from congress to take the de-
livery of these deeds out of the hands
of the governors of the tribes and have
the work done by government Off
Gals The patents have been a bone
of contention between Secretary Hitch
cock and the Indian governors for
more than a year. The Curtis bill, as
now pending, provides that the deeds
shall be delivered under the direction
of the secretary of the interior to the
party entitled to receive the same"
and if this clause becomes law as it
probably will in a short time, it will
do away with all claims on the part of
the governors to the right of making
the delivery themselves.
