Politics and Preachers.
The Ansonia Sentinel thus wiselyand
cpportunely expresses its convictions
as to the duty of clerical teachers in
American pulpits. in reference to the
highest obligations of citizenship:—
“The Sentinel has several times ex-
pressed its views on the subject of poli-
tics, in the pulpit and has tried to be
conservative in expressing its opinion
that preachers have a political duty to
perform; and that they neglect one of.
their duties when they fail to enlighten
their people on the moral side of all
political questions.”
Q
Not Pleasing to God.
Every once in a while we read of
some alleged religious assemblage that
has been shaken ”by a very storm of
hypnotic emotion, and under the in-
fluence of such a state of ~afi'iirn has
been guilty of the most idiotic and in‘
defensible prodigality of giving. We
read of women throwing not only their
own jewels into the box, but the jewels
of others’which they happened to be in
temporary posession of; or women con-
, tributing money that they had saved up
for the comfort and perhaps the restora-
tion to health of a loved and near rela-
tive; of fathers deed ng houses and lots
to the “cause,” and of men out of work
0 . giving the. last fifty cents “to Christ,”
'w‘hile their families were starving at
' home, '
Now, does any reaconable, thinking,
lolear headed Christian man or woman
look upon such things as pleasing to
God, or upon such people as imbued
With any part of the divine spirit of
Jesus Christ ? Must they not, rather,
be revolting to that Great Power which
is in itself justice sublime and unalter-
able, exact and unwavering ? Must
not such actions, both by the movers
of the hysteria and its victims, be very
distateful to thatChrist who sacrificed
Himself for others, and not others for
Himself ?
God calls upon all His followers to
make sacrifices in His cause and such
sacrifices are pleasing and acceptable to
Him, but He demands that we sacrifice
ourselves and that we do not infringe
upon the rights of others. We are at
- perfect liberty to give what belongs to
us, but we have no right to give what
, belongs to others; and when we do the
id. . '
latter, our gift cannot be pleasing to
the eternal God.
The zealot who gives away, under the
. stress of an emotion falsely designated
as religions, that which does not belong
to him, has not only committed a crime,
but has actually insulted the divinity
that it was intended to propitiate. Can
we regard With anything but contempt-
uous horror the person -\'who gives to
foreign missions the money that was to
restores sister or brother or child or
parent to health, and thus add rerhaps
one more to the laborers in God’s great
harvest field here at home? "
Such giving as that is a crime, an
outrage on the weak and helpless, a
blow struck at God’s prisoners in the
name of God. Jes is Christ, speaking
through the lips of the great apostle
Paul, says: “But if any provide not
for his own, and specially for those of
his own house,
faith, and is worse than an infidel.”
Slightly paraphrasing Mme. Roland,
we mightlwell say: "0 religion, what
' crimes are committed in thy name i”
It is urged by these enthusiasts that
these things are done in the love of God,
but they should remember that the
. great apostle [says (and his words are
surely the words of Christ): “Love
worketh no ill to his neighbor; there-
fore love is the fulfilling of the law.”
If. this be true, and no true. Christian
. can doubt it, these hysterical convoca
tions and inexcusable ofi'erings are in
direct violatio the law of God.

Fooled the Policeman.
Herrmann occasionally takes a spin
onawheel; In New York one even-
ing, he was coming from Harlem
through CentralPark, when his light
went out. The oficer at Columbus
Square stopped his progress and caused
him to dismount. ' , - '
“What is the trouble?” asked Herr-
man.
“because you have no light.”
At this juncture, a bystander, recog-
‘nizing the magician, attempted to in-
terfere, explaining who the prisoner
was. The officer maintained that. "it
made no difi‘erence, he was there to' see
that the ordinances of the city were
obeyed, whoever broke them.”
Herrman took him bythe lapel.
"‘But” said he, with elabdrate cour-
tesy, “I think you are mistaken. Look
at my lamp. You see the light is there
now."
The policeman saw. His hair rose
slowly beneath his. helmet. Herrmann
taking advantage of his" momentary
mystification, made him a bow, mount-
0 1. his wheel, and disappeared down the
avenue.’ '

Prominent Democrai Deserts.
Oscar L. Bradley, of Meriden, who
was chairman of the Democratic town
committee, 1895-6, and who was a rep-
resentative from Meriden in the state
legislature ’of 1893, has renounced De-
mocracy and says he will vote for Me-
Kinley and Hobart. He has sent a
letter to Henry Dryhurst, chairman of
the town committee; in which he states
his intention to affiliate with the Bepub.
lica—n party in the future, and asks to
have his name placed on the roll of the
McKinley club. ‘

Has Sunk $7,000,000.
Judge Hilton, it is reported, has sunk
about $7,000,000 in the business of Hil-
ton, Hughes & 00.. but he will be per-
sonally responsible for the debts of the
firm and Will mike ita matter of per-
sonal pride to see that every cent of the
firm’s indebtedness is paid. This con-
s:dei'ation is as commendable as it is
rare. Few men would be willing to go
down into their own pockets for 8400.-
000 for which they are not liable, an
Judge Hilton will do.

A few years ago nearly all newspapers
published, at this season, recipes for summer
complaints. Now such items are seldom
met with. Publishers have learned that
there is nothing quite as good as Chamber- ‘
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
for these diseases and as it is in general use
everywhere they have quit publishing these
recipes. No One havin a. bottle of this
remedy in'the house nee fear an attack of
bowel complaint. It can always be depended
upon and is pleasant and safe. For sale by

BRESLAU, Sept. 5.—Eniperor -William

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—Louise Bisic, 63
years old, who lived somewhere in Brook-
lyn, was taken suddenly ill this morning
in the waiting room of the East Houston
street ferry and died before medical aid
could be procured. Her death was due to
natural causes. The body was removed to
the Union Market station.
A Boston Lawyer Killed.
NEWTON, Mass, Sept. 5.—W. F. Slo-
cum, a well known lawyer and senior
member of the law firm of W. F. & W. S.
Slocum of Boston, was instantly killed by
a train at Newtonville station today. Mr.
Slocum was 75 years of age and had been
a resident of Newton for 28 years.
STRONGEST LIGHT IN THE WORLD.
It will Flash Over the Sea. From Barnegat
Lighthouse.
The strongest light on any sea. coast
of the world will Soon be in working
order on the Jersey shore. It will have
no rival for power anywhere here or in
Europe. ' '
This great electric light will have 2,-
500,000 candle power, and its warning
rays will besent forth from the top of
Bamegate Lighthouse. This huge light
was exhibited at the World’s Fair at
Chicago. and it was purchased by the
United State Government to be placed
on Fire Island. '* .
. This project was, h0wever, abandon-
ed, as a lightship has been substituted
for the Fire Island Lighthouse. The
Government officials then decided to
place the°new and powerful light at the»
next most important point on the coast,
which is Barnegat. ,_
The present light at Barnegat is 165
feet above the level of the sea. and it
can be seen under ordinary circumstan-
ces, 19 nautical miles. The new light
is so powerful that it will not only be
seen a. great deal further than the old
one, but it will ”penetrate haze and fogs
which often make the present light in—
visible. .
~ All old sea captains known the Barn-
egat light as showing a white flash
every ten seconds, and the new one will
have the same characteristics. Many
important additions have been made to
the Barnegat lighthouse to prepare it
for the new light, and it is now one of
the best equipped structures of the kind
in the world—New York World.
