Newman, Methodist Episcopal .Bishop of San Francisco, is one of the prominent clergymen of the country who believes that in the present campaign clergy- men of all denominations, Protestmt as well as Catholic, have a duty to per- form that is little less sacred and im- portantgz‘than that which’boufronted them during the anti-slavery agitation. He believes that the Christian ministers of the United States should preach the doctrine of honest money from their pulpits, from now until election day, with as much fervor as their fathers preached the abolition of the slaves. .He believes that clergymen should do I th1s, not for politics sake, but for coun- try’s sake. and the very life of the nation are threatened bythose who advocate the free coinage of silver, and in such a crisis, with honesty and right on the one side, and dishonesty and wrong on, the other, he believes that the Christian ’ Church. true to its history and tradi- tions, should present a solid front against the assaults upon the Nation’s honor and the Nation’s prestige. 0 The True Religion—A Lay Sermon. A great many people live pure Chris- tian lives who are absolutely ignorant that they are doing so. They believe in God, but shrink from an open pro- fession of their faith, for fear that the Church will make too many rigid re- quirements, or because theirsouls hold in voluntary detestation the stern and relentless creeds that seek to pen up the immortal soul in a prison of iron. But their words spe 1k in them, and proclaim-the sweet and precious saint- 3 lines: of their every-day lives. You know such people, and we all know them, and God smiles upon them as he sees them daily lift up to sublime heights the feeble, doubting souls of those around them,and upon their heads rests an eternal blessing as, still quietly and unobtrusively they .walk in the ' way of the humble Galilean. Freed ‘ from the cross themselves, they are not eager to nail others upon itfhaving touched the hem of Christ’s garment, and being made whole, their very liv- ing is a divine signal that the Saviour of mankind still walks among us and that those who touch even his gar- ment’s hem, will be healed of the sins under thch they have so long grown sick and despairing. I Beautiful lives are these, not meas- ured by a set rule, or conforming to any particular brand or theology, but modeled after the unassuming life that closed its earthly span in the tragedy of Calvary. Beautiful lives are these, not made up of sonorous words, nor of magnificent professions, nor of Iself-abasement, so piteous as to-be laughable, but of works done by the wayside; of flowers placed ~ in the desolate gardens of others; of dew shed upon hearts so parched that they seem ‘oi dust; of rainbows spanning ugly chasms and forming abridge of bone over which feeble andIstricken soul's crnpassto safety; "of strong and loving arms reached out to pluck 3 brother or sister from the mire of sin; ‘and all for the dear Christ’s sake. Austere and selfish religion is of the earth earthy, and is not of God. It has no part in the great love that gave its only begotten son to die for a world of sin and shame. It loves only itself, 'whereas Christ loved everybody above ~Himself, and went down gladly into the ' murk and gloom of death, that here- after there should be no death, only a mere passing away into a newer and grander life. Wrapped up in the gloomy selfishness of what they are pleased to call religion, many persons , would'make the world a hell if they Chad the pbwer,’ and would eagerly era; 1 cify those whom God impelled to di fi'er with them. ’ True religion fills the soul with such divine Joy that it' Is continually running , He believes that the honor , ted. gmember of and an ~earnest worker in I' St. Luke’s church, and her death is deeply regretted. THE EVENIN over into the souls of others. It is not satisfied unless it can spread happiness It' 1s like the gentle dew . all around it. . from heaven that does not'seek out particularplaces upon which to fall,I but dmps upon the entire landscape, . refreshing and regenerating everything. upon which it rests. It is like the , rain that does not devote all its energies to I any one particular tree, or plant, or acreof ground, but falls upon all alike, and does good to all alike. It is, like the song of a bird that is not sung to thebird itself alone or to the frail twig upon which it is perched but that soars, up to the sky and upon the myriad winged winds, 1s carried to the remotest bounds of sound, cheering all upon whom its silvery melody falls. It is likeaflower that does not try to con- ceal in its 0an heart the perfume be- stowed upon it by the g1ver of every good and perfect gift, but casts it _out upon the air as free as the air itself, reaching and beautifying other lives and~ making them sweet for immor- tality. ——-—-—-‘-.———_—— 8 .At Smith’s Island.
