Christian Citizenship and Km Application.
? In its issue for September Collico's
publishes tin inquiry into
''Christum Citizenship by an
author who, the editor tells us, is
"A grout c'eiitivo iirt'sl wh ?>e
reasons for anonymity seem sufficient
to us us to himself.'' This
great creative artist asks: 1 1 s
there such a thing us Christian
Citizenship? No," ho nays, "but
it could be created.'' In part he
says:
If Christians should vote their
duty to (iod at the polls, they
would cart) every election, and
do it with ease. They wt uld
elect every clean candidate in the
United States, and defeat evoiy
soiled one. Their prodigious puw
er would be <piickly realized and
recognized, and afterward there
would lie no unclean candidate!
upon any ticket, and graft would
cease. No church organiz ition
can he found in the country that
would elect men of foul character
to he its shepherd, its treasurer,
and suporinteut of its Sunday
school. It would he revolted at
the idea; it would consider such
an election an insult to (Jod. Yet
every Christian congregation in
the country elects foul men to
public oliioe, while <piito aware
that tliic ?o is an open and deliberate
insult to (ioil, who can
not approve and does not approve
the placing of the liberties and the
wol 1 -Imi tur i >f Ilia oliil/lt .in >?

hands of infamous men It is the
Chnstiuu congregations that are
responsible for the tilling of our
public offices with criminals, for
the reason that they could prevent
it if thoy choso to do it.
They could prevent it without
organizing a league, without
framing a platform, without making
any speeches or passing any
resolutions?in a word, without
concert of uny kind. Thoy could
jf accomplish it by each iodividou<
resolving to vote for God at the
jr polls?that is to say, vote for the
/ candidate whom God would approve.
Can a man imagine such
a thing as God being a Republican
or a Democrat, and voting
for a criminal or a blackguard
merely because party loyalty required
it? Then can*wo imagine
that a man can improve upon
G?)d's attitude in this matter, and
by help of professional politicians
invent a better policy ? God ha*
no politics but cleanliness and
honesty, and it is good enough
for men.
A man's second duty is to his
family. There way a time when
a clergyman's duty to his family
required him to be his congregation's
political slave, and vote
his congregation's ticket in order
to safeguard the food and shelter
of his wife and children Hut that
time has gone hy. We have the
secret ballot now, and a clergyman
can vote for God Ho can also
plead with his congregation to do
the like.J
Perhaps. Wo can not be Mire.
The congregation would probably |
inquire whom he was going to
vote for and if he stood upon his
manhood and answered that they
had no Christian right (which is
the same as saying no moral right,
and, of course, no legal right) to
ask tho question, it is conceivable
?not to say certain --that they
would dismiss him, and be much
offended at his proposing to be a
man as well as a clergyman.
Still, there are clergymen who
are so situated as to lie able to
make the experiment. It would
be worth while to try it. If the
Christians of America would be
persuaded to vote God and a clean
iickoi, 11 wotnu bring about a
moral revolution tluit would bo in.
caleulably benetieiont It would
. -m ,
save the country?a country whoso
Christians have betrayed it and
are destroying it.

sent llulkily to the Senate They
sent to the Legislature the men
who elected him Tlic'O two
crimos they couhl have prevented:
thov did not do it, and upon them
rest the shame and the responsibility.
Only one clergyman remembered
Ids Christian morals
and his duty to God, anil stood
bavely by noth Mr. 8m\the is
probably an o iteast now, hut
tucli a man as thai can endure < a
tracism; and such a man ns that is
likely to possess the treasure of a
family that can endure with him,
and be proud to do it. I kiss the
hem of his garment.
Four year* ago Greater Now
York had two tickets in the field:
ono (Lain, the other dirty, with a
single exception: an unspeakable
t'eket with that lonely exception.
One-half of the Christians voted
for that foul ticket and against
(tod ami the Christians code of
morals, putting h?\alty to party
above loyalty to God and honorable
citizenship, and tlioy came
within a fruction of elcc.ing it;
whereas if they had flood by
their professed morals they would
have Iniried it out of sight. Christianity
was on trial then, it is on *
tiid now. And nothing impor- I
taut is on trial except Cluistianity
It was on trin in Philadelphia,
and failed; in Pennsylvania and V
failed; in Rhode Island, and failed;
in Connecticut, ard failed; in *
Now York, and failed: in Delaware,
and failed; m every town
aud county and Slate, and was roceant
to its trust; it has ellusivcly
bruised itself with the small mat
ters of charity and benovolcnco. (j
and has looked on,indifferent whilo
its country was sinking lower
and lower in repute and drifting
further and further toward moral
destruction. It is the one force I _
that can save, and it sits with ' |
folded hands. In Greater New !
York iL will presently have an opportunity
to elect or defeat some j
straight, cloan, honest men, of i
the sterling Jerome stamp, and j
some of the Tammany kind. The j
Christian vote?and the Christian J
vote alone?will decide the con- ' j
test, it, and it alone, is master j
of the situation, and lord of the '
result.

"You Must
Sleep.
If you cannot, it is due to an
irritated or congested state of
the brain, which will soon dcvelopc
into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of Iter building and
sustaining process. This period
of unconsciousness relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore exhausted
vitality.
I)r. Miles' Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and removes
the congestion.
It is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens every
nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as Dr. Miles' Nervine.
"During1 the past winter I had two
attacks of LaGrippo which left in?
very weak, and In l?nd condition. I
was so nervous I could not steep. My
wife, after trying different remedied.
Went for a doetor. The doctor watt
out. and a neighbor recommended l)r.
Miles' Nervine, and she brought homo
n bottle. I bad not slept for prune time,
and had terrible pains In my l\r?nd.
After taking a few dopop of Nervine
the pain was not po poyero, and I
plept. I am now taking the second
bottle, and am very muoh Improved."
