A Grand Army Colony. The newspaper press of the country is very widely calling attention to the interesting and patriotic circumstance and fact that on the very ground in Georgia on which on May 10, 1865, Jef- ferson Davis was captured by Wilson’s cavalry there now flourishes a colony of Union veterans. The south received them with open arms, and Governor Northen of Georgia offered them good agricultural lands for $3. 50 an acre. The region belongs to the p’ne land The soil will produce all the Spirit Versus Letter——A Lay Sermon. In too many cases it is the same to- day as it was in the time of Christ—the chief priests and elders of the people are content with creeds and forml and theological dry husks; but the people themselves are not, and that is the reason there are so many half-empty churches of aSunday. The people wish to be fed, not to be mocked with food; . They wish to hear of the God of love, not of a majestic tyrant who is eager to grind them to death in the wine-press of His unceasing wrath; they wish to hear of a Christ who loved them so that He died for them; of a Christ who was once one of them, felt like them and suffered like them; not of a mere word to fill out an orthodox sentence. The people crave love (and sympathy because life is very hard to many of them, and they want to have God Him- self, and Jesus Christ Himself, speak to them through His priests here on earth, to comfort them and give them hope and happiness as only cap thus be had. It God’s priests are true soldiers of country. grains and vegetables of a temperate chants and delicious fruits, such as grapes, peaches, figs. apples and apri‘ cots.

If: this be so, and it certainly Was the method adopted by Christ when, for the sake of the world, He he- came a material man, then it is equal- ly true that the world is full of Christ- ians who are not recognized as such by . the chief priests and elders of the peo- ple. Christ was well aware of the zeal ' ‘ . with which many people follow the let- ter and ignore the spirit. Hence His rebuke and the language in which He clothed it, “The publicans and the bare lots go into the kingdom of God before ,you.” ' The spirit of true Christianity is not - content with a cushioned pew in some 5 fashionable church, and a place on the health.

Hereditary Needles. Needles have never been suppOSed to be hereditary, but a; recent case re- ported by a physician of eminence of- fersnndoubted evidence to the con- trary. A lady accidentally ran a .needle into her foot thirty years ago and it lay apparently dormant in her system for so many years that its ex- istence was almost forgotten. In 1878 she was married, and a year after the birth of her infant daughter the needle made its appearance in the infant’s shoulder. There could be no doubt that it was the original needle by which the mother had been attacked in 1860, for it was of apeculiar and now obsolete pattern, and the mother dis- tinctly remembered that needles of that pattern were in use at the time of her attack. There could be no doubt that the infant inherited the needle from her mother and that henceforth physicians will expect to find a. natural tendency to needles in the tissues. As it is asserted that people have died from needles, although there are very few such cases on record, the insurance companies will doubtless add to the questions which they put to candi- dates for insurance: ”Did your father or mother ever swallow needles and, if 'so, how many, and of What kind—sew- ing, darning or ments. carpet?”—Spure M0- The‘ Trees in Lilil'do'x’i“.
