Smiling Christianity.
In the good old days of witch burn-
ing and Quaker harrying, when God
was a cruel tyrant and J e‘sus Christ an
inspiring dream, a smile on the face of
a Christian was considered a crime,
and a laugh on Sunday a hideous sacri-
lege. Piety was measured not only by
the length one’s face, but by the zeal
exhibited in running down a neighbor
whose faith was weak, combined with
the sacred joy manifested over the suf-
fering of an unbeliever.
Little children were taught that Sun-
day, the Lord’s day, was one on which
the Lord was peculiarly alive to the
slightest infraction of the awful solemn-
' ity of the period in question, and kept
the fires of hell unusually hot for those
who so far forgot themselves as to
exhibit any peculiar emotion during
the aforesaid twenty-four hours.
Happily all this is chinged and the
world has begun to fairly realize that
God takes no pleasure in the discom-
fort and agony of His children-and that
Christ can be better taught with a smile
than with a groan.
This state of affairs is very beneficial,
not only to the world in general, but to
the cause of Christianity in particular.
Most people prefer to see the love
of God in the dew and the sunshine, in
preference to witnessing his anger in
the storm and the tempest.
Cthdren are more apt to feel thank-
ful in the playground than in the dun-
geon. and happiness here is pretty apt
to make one wish for the some condi-
tion in the hereafter.
You cannot make a child love you by
constantly beating if, neither can you
make a Christian through fear.
There is something about fear that
makes one revolt against it but the
continued expression of love will even—
tually conquer even the most savage
heart. . _
The world has learned this at last,
and religion is becoming more and more
a- thing of joy and happiness, instead
of an emotion Of repulsion and terror.
Even a preacher of the Gospel is al-
lowed to smile now wherever and when-
ever the spirit moves him, and wit and
humor, of an innocent kind, are not
considered‘entirely out of place even in
the pulpit.
The world moves, and Christianity
moves with it. A smiling Christian is
the best advertisement the faith can
have, and such a Christian is like a city
set upon a hill, his light blesses the sur-
rounding neighborhood.
The‘ true religion is beginning to be
comprehended of all men: to follow in
the way so plainly marked" out by the
Galilean; to be happy yourself and to
make others happy; to show to the
world that, instead of shrouding you‘in
gloom. your conversion has completely
filled you with sunshine and made your
soul so full of happiness that the whole
world can see that you have been born
again. . _
The Christian has a right to wear a
smiling face and thus show to those
around him that he has been supremely
blessed.
When the Lord.enters a human soul
and create an altar there to the living
God, the temple of that soul is made
truly radiant and the whole man is
glorified.
A Dead Celebrity.
, IDu Maurier’s death will be widely re-
gretted. Though he had probably
done as good work as he was likely ever
to do, he had but recently gained the
attention of a larger public than that
which had long known and appreciated
him and to his established fame as a
. delicate draughtsman and social satirist
he has added that of a popular author.
Whether ”I'rllby” is entitled to as
much distinction as “Peter Ibbetson,”
or whether either of them was as sig-
, to-day’s convention, but I could not
-~ Keats took the stand and said that he
" there is nothing quite as good as Chamber-
1,

and her friends and contemporaries,
need not be discussed now. He had
contributed much to the enlightened
so sweet and pure and good humored,
and with an artistic personality so true,
that the gaiety of nations is clouded by
his death. '

Mr. Cleveland’s New Home.
It is announnced ‘that President
Cleveland, when he shall have laid
down the cares of the nation, will for-
sake Woodley and join the rapidly ris-
ing “landed gentry? of Long Island.
Mr. Clev’eland has purchased siirty
acres of-land at Hempstead, L. I., and
early in the spring will erect there a
modest little cottage. The Cleveland
manor immediately adjoins the fine
properly of former Secretary William
0. Whitney, and is within hailing dis-
tance‘of the elegant summer house of
E. D. Morgan, former commander of
the New York Yacht Club.
Senator Holden for McKinley.
, The Hartford Courant prints the fol-
lowing: ’ ' ‘
“Frederick W. Holden, of Ansonia,
Democratic president pro tem. of' the
senate in 1894, was in the city yester-
day. In conversation with a friend he
said: ‘I shall vote for McKinley and
Hobart and in state matters I believe I
shall also vote for the ‘w1nning ticket.
I believe in completely crushing the
element that got control of the party
at Chicago, and there’s only one" sure
tray to do it. I was urged to come to
quite see how, with my fixed determin-
ation as to my ballot next month, 1
could consistenly take part in naming
another ticket, one for which I should
not vote any more, I presume, than will
some of these delegates here to-day.
What we want is a thorough cleaning
out. I believe and trust that the result
of this campaign will be a readjustment
pf all party line‘s.’ ”

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
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
