m' " ? K Chrinttanity nad War. BY THOMAS C. BATTEY. In the American Advocate of Peace and Arbitration. A BETTER WAY PRACTICABLE. Instead of enforcing such immense armaments at such an enormous outlay of treasure, were the rulers and statesmen of the civilized world to lay aside their national prejudices and their national pride, and cast about for a less expensive as well as a more rational, humane, aye, a more Christian method of settling international differences, with a determination that so anti-christian a system as war ahr?ii<i h? niinercpried hv one more in accordance with the feelings of all good men, and with the profession of our holy religion, making Christian principles the basis of the system, it might be easily affected. It would be found that arbitration even would be preferable, far more honorable than war, and that the name of an arbitrator will shine upon the page of history with a purer lustre than that of a conquerer. Yet it may be seen that arbitration, from the very nature of the case, being but a temporary adjustment of difficulties, and new arbitrators to be chosen in every emergency that may arise, cannot fill all the con dltioMof an International Arbiter. Something more permanent, more universal in its application is needed. An "International Congress" in which all civilized nations are represented, who rules should be based upon an "International Constitution," recognizing the "Supreme Rulership of the ~ ^ * ? T* A1 Bod or uoa ana me jaruwviuwu w Nations," and enforced by a "High Court of Nations" would be more in conformity with the spirit of the age, more dignified and in accordance with the principles of Christianity. The adoption of such a Constitution and the election of members to such a Congress would be of itself a sufficient pledge or guarantee, on the part of the nations so doing for the authority and power of such a Constitution, tb?Congress and High Court it might provide, and thus render the settlement of international differences, binding and perpetual, without the effUsioa of blood and the horror of war. RETALIATION INHUMANE. HbVJiiuch more honorable and humase would such a course between nations be than the present system of jealousy, injury, retaliation and revenge. How much more dignified for nationa^occupying the highest positions in power, wisdom and learning to make arrangements, compatible with their positions, for the ending of " " ? 1 an international uiuereuues uy iciciriog-them to a "Higher Tribunal," composed of the most eminent jurists, not only of their own but of all nations, than the vast destructive military preparations now being made by them. To further this end an International Convention should be called, to which mil civilized nations and people, whatever the form of government they may have adopted, and by whatever interaftl iaws they may be governed, should be invited to send delegates asd-havea voice in resolutions and decisions to which it may arrive. This Convention should have authority conferred upon it to consider and prepare an -'International Constitution" to hft Riihmitted to the different nations represented for their adoptlon. This Constitution should provide for the establishment of an International Congress, by which a Code of International Law should be prepared aa&a High Court set up to execute them* These International Laws and tWa High Court thus enacted and set up should supersede the immense armaments of the nations thus confederated which should be immediately disbanded as being useless and cumbersome. PEACE IS ECONOMY. 8uch a system as here delineated could but be attended with expense, but when we consider the enormous treasures sunk in the present system, it would be but insignificant, while the accruing benefits would be incalculable. Hundreds of thousands of men now maintained in useless inactivity, re stored to the producing and manufacturing energies of the world would develop a degree of financial prosperity hitherto unknown, while the demoralising influences of camp-life being removed a far higher degree of moral sensibility would soon spread over the masses of the people and under the influence of greater educational facilities, superstition and ignorance would yield to refinement and intelligence. The legitimate revenues of the nations being increased while their expenses would be reduced, taxation would be lessened and the financial burden of government w<*uld fall so liffhtlv upon the shoulders of the peo pie, their love for their country and Its institutions would be increased. Crime would be diminished. The oocasion for nihilism and anarchy being thus removed the assassination of nobles and rulers would become less frtquent and government would stand upon a surer foundation than it can under the present intolerable system ?even the loving hearts of its subjects. But why attempt to illustrate or explain a self-evident truth? The resulting improvement in the condition of the civilized world under this change is as evident as an axiom in mathematics. While it is equally evident that the blessings of the Supreme Ruler and Father of all nations would rest upon it, conducing to the happi-J, r s^?=s|fisness of all, both prince and peasant, ruler and ruled, until peace and good will should spread over the whole earth as the waters are spread over the sea. Viola, Li>x Co., Iowa. A Medical View of The Value ofFasting;. It requires, in our time of self-indulgence, some struggle to make a trial of fasting, but every one who does so will soon be convinced that it has a very salutary influence upou health and working power, and not by any meaus only in those who indulge in luxurious meals, but in every one down to handicraftsman and peasant. Where fasting is a religious ordinance, there is a weekly fasting-day appointed, besides a yearly fasting sea son. Jtsotn are useiui irom a nygienic point of view. During the fasting-timethe body ha9 to get rid of the coarse or fine sediments of the daily food. This alone is a kind of recreation, and the other recreative element is that it disturbs the condition of unvarying weight; this latter generally produces a lowering of the energy of life, while its disturbance revives it. By fasting any one may raise his reduced working powers. In short, I advise every one either to fast regularly, if only to the extent of going without dinner one day in the week, or to fast a day the moment he realizes a certain diminution of enjoyment of life and labor. Especially may fasting be reco-m mended as preparation for greater mental activity. I say this from personal experience; During my lecturing tour I have followed the rule, for for years, of keeping one fast-day beforehand, and on the lecturing day to take nothing besides breakfast before the lecture, except something to drink; and every lecturing tour corresponds, witli me, to a fasting season, tnougn not of an absolutely correct kind. And I ascribe it to this system that, in spite of all I wear and tear involved, retain bodily and mental freshness. It would be the very best thing if once more general usage sanctioned the keeping of a weekly fast-day, and wherever this custom yet obtains all that is possible ought to be done not to let it fall into desuetude. I consider the weekly fast-day hygienically as much a neccessity as the weekly day of rest! This view of fasting is translated from the German of Dr. Gustav Jaeger article on "Fasting in the Sphinx." Dr. Jaeger is the inventor of the sanitary system, so-called, and has long been a professor at Stuttgart. Many of his views are peculiar, and do not carry our judgement. Like all special flioni-iofo Via rrnaa in on OTfrHTTlP And seems to imagine that his ideas are competent to regulate the entire system of things. This article of fasting, however, is in harmony with our experience, and, as we think, with reason. It seems a queer notion that breaking up the condition of unvarying weight is a benefit. With that exception, and the caution not to apply fasting too frqeuently or carelessly, or when the system is plainly far below its tone, this article will be of great value. Accidents*"How to Avoid them. 1. Always look in the direction in which you are moving. 2. Never put your head or arms out of a vehicle when it is in motion. 3. Never leave a car or other public vehicle when it is in motion. 4. If a horse runs away with you, remain in the vehicle rather than risk the danger of jumping from it. 5. In thunder storms keep away from trees, metallic substances, doors and windows. The lower part of a house is the safer. 6. Never play with fire-arms. Always keep them beyond the reach of 1 children. 7. Avoid charcoal fumes; they are deadly when confined in a close 1 room. 8. Illuminating gas?be sure to turn it of!'. Never blow it out. 9. When gas can be smelt in an 1 apartment, always air the room well 1 before striking a match or bringing a 1 light. ] 10. When very cold, move quickly. If any part of the body is frozen, ' * 1K if nrifK unntv onH Irnnn frnm tVio 1 fire. ] 11. Change wet clothing as soon as , possible. 12. Carefully avoid exposure in ma- ! larial districts at night. 13. If necessary to go into an old ( vault or well, first introduce a burning ] candle. If the light bums low and , finally goes out, carbonic acid gas is 1 present, and the place is unsafe to en- < ter. Unslacked lime will absorb the gas and purify the air. , 14. Avoid walking on railroad tracks and icy sidewalks. ' 15. When awake, very young chil- I dren should never be left alone. 1 16. Do not go near dangerous machinery with loose hair or flowing garments, 17. Never touch gunpowder after dark. , XV, IUUUIC u ouau^c UUgi I 19. Never light a fire with kero- ' sene. c 20. Fill and trim your lamps in the j daytime. Never trim or fill a lighted . lamp. 1 21. Keep matches in a close tin 1 box. * t 22. Have your horses rough-shod t as soon as the gronnd freezes. 23. When feeling dizzy or seasick, c lie down. J 24. Do not close the damper of ? your stove too early. Better waste j coal than run the risk of suffocation . by gas. 25. When climbing a ladder, look, * up and not nown. i 26. In railroad traveling take the c center of the car and the middle car of the train for safety. 27. Eat only pure food, drink only ^ pure liquids, think only pure $ noughts, and keep you r blood pure, f Scatter sassafras bark anjong dried c xuit to keep it from becoming wormy c f-t ' The Bible and the Rifle. Mr. Spurgeon lately remarked in a sermon at his Tabernacle : "Now here comes another Christianity which has lately displayed itself to many heathen nations. It comes with a Bible in its knapsack and the rifle in its hand. Is not this a fine combination for conversion ? Jesus comes before the Zulu riding upon a Gatling guu. Of course these poor heathen know nothing about our political combinations, but they suppose that Christians are invading their land?will they, therefore, love Christ? Missionaries, here is a difficulty for you to explain ; how will you deal with it? You come from a Christian nation?a nation which salutes the savages in Christ's name with shot and shell! Will they receive Christianity coming in such guise? If they do not,small blame can we pour upon them ; they will be only acting according to the light of reason and common sense. If there shall ever come a Christianity which suffereth long and is kind ; which doeth no evil, but seeketh good to its neighbor, which teacheth love to God and love to man, which seeketli not its own but lays itself out for others then I do not say that an ungodly people will be enamored of it if left to itself, but I do believe that the Spirit of God will go forth with it, and will convince men of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment, and then shall the scattered family of Adam accept the one true faith, and enter into a league of amity with each other, and there shall be glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good-will toward men. A Good Experience. God knows me better than I know myself. He knows my gifts and pow ers, my failings and my weaknesses, what I can do and not do. So I desire to be led, to follow Him ; and I am quite sure that He has thus enabled me to do a great deal more in ways which seem to me almost a waste in life, in advancing His kingdom, than I could have done in any other way. I am sure of that. Intellectually, I am weak ; in scholarship, nothing; in a thousand things a baby. He knows this, and so He has led me, and greatly blessed me, who am nobody, to be of some use to my church and fellowmen. How kind, how good, how compassionate art thou, O God ! O my Father, keep me humble! Help me to have respect toward my fellow-men, to recognize these several gifts as from thee. Deliver me from the diabolical sins of malice, envy, or jealousy, and give me a hearty joy in my brother's good, in his work, in his gifts and talents, and may 1 be truly glad in his superiority to myself, if God be glori fied. Root out all weak vanity, all devilish pride, all that is abhorrent to the mind of Christ. God, hear my prayer. Grant me the wondrous joy of humility, which is seeing thee as all in all.?Dr. Norman McLeod's Diary. ^ m What Others Say. Southwestern Methodist. Let Them Strike.?"A woman over twenty-five yeart of age and more than five years a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church" (so she signs herself) writes to one of the papers: "Dear Sisters : Pendingjthe crisis"? the action of the church in admitting women to the General Conference ?"it behooves us to pause in our work of festivals, sociables, and other severe labors we have been doing for the financial prosperity of the church we have loved so well, and find out where we are and what our priesthood is try- ( ing to do with us. Sisters, the time to resist an evil is in its incipiency. j I do not advocate a withdrawal from the church, but I do advise a conserve of much of the strength and means you have hitherto put into church work until we are admitted into equal J Government in the institution where ( we have carried more than half the 1 burdens." f That looks very much like advising < the sisters to strike. Well, if it is only from fairs and festivals they call off', { the church can probably stand it; at 1 least we would be willing to see the a trial made. Though we think a festi- (t val in good place sometimes, it is at < least safe to say we are likely to have I too much rather than too little of that sort of work. We think the sisters 1 who attend the prayer meeting will <) continue to attend ; not so much to help the church along, as for the help in their spiritual struggles which they * ierive from the church. But these who think rather of the J service they render the church, and e ;hat they are running it with their fes- ? tivals, may try the effect of a strike, i We don't care if they do. v Literary World. 8 Religious Intelioence.?Three > Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal 1: Jhurch and five other prominent Epis- v :opal clergymen, three of them Doc;ors of Divinity, unite in a symposium F n the .Tulv number of the Churnh ftp. new. The symposium occupies only J< en pages, but is evidently-regarded as he piece de resistance. And what 8 loes the reader suppose to be the sub- ii ect around which these eight learned tnd reverend men gather? What topic si las summoned them to conclave? g [s it to concert ways, and means for imousing a deeper interest in Christ- f( an missions ? Is it to propose meth>ds for bridging the gulf between the ich and the poor? Is it to consider oi vhat the Christian church can do to \\ ivert war? Is it to devise measures * or dealing with intemperance and the \\ ocialevil? Is it to construct an adIress to Christian people on the^eed P' if deeper spirituaUty of life? I# it to pi '-.v T ''' protest against extravagance and display, to appeal for honor to the Lord's Day, or to propose fair terms between Christianity and the scientific temper of the times? No; none of these topics, but the following: "Ought the General Thanksgiving in Morning and EveningPrayer to be said by the Minister alone, or by the Minister and People together?"? 0 tcmpora ! 0 mores! Sound Advice.?Mr. Spurgeon in the Sword and Trowel gives this very important advice to preachers. "Let us go over the foundation truths again and again. The simplest doctrines would be great novelties in some pulnit3 I could mention. A king once asked a courtier what made a certain French preacher so famous. "Your majesty,' said the nobleman. The preaches the Gospel, and that is the scarcest thing in France.' How true of many English pulpits to-day! Go over the clememtary truths with your people. Make them know the first principles of the faith. It will not weary your hearers, it will bless them, and many of them will be delighted. Repeat the fundamentals, too; often, if you can. In the daysof the old-fashioned farming they dropped three beans into a hole. And why? One was for the worm,) another for the crow, and number three perchance would grow. Let us be liberal with the seed, for the evil powers are liberal with worms, and crows, and thorns. Let others go forth to shine; you are sowers, and must "go forth to sow." Eepeat yourself if necessary; Paul said, 'To write the same things to you to me indeed is ton greivous, but for you it is safe." Mahogany furn iture should be wash ed with warm water and soap. An ap plication of beeswax and sweet oil upon a soft cloth and polished with chamois, gives a rich finish. For the Ladies.
