According to the Itrrnhtff Sfrtr's re- j
port of a recent talk by Admiral IW- ,
ler, ho (the admiral) indulges in som? ,
boastful words about a possible war j
with Germany which words, in tliei
present state of a Hairs at Samoa and i
the approaching Conference at Berlin,!,
are untimely and unwise. It is time;,
enough to talk about war after diplo- ,
macy and arbitration have failed, and :
time enough to sketch plans of fight- j
ing later on.
We cannot afford to appropriate!
space to the article as copied in the!,
Columbia Register, but will extract a,
few sentences which may indicate the
drift of the Admiral's talk. He says: l(
No one supposes that the American I
people would give up the contest until j
Germany had received a sound urun-1
bing. We have surplus and revenues
enough, with taxes now at a minimum
point, to carry on desultory war until
we are in fighting trim. While we are
getting ready we can prohibit the ent ry
of German manufactures into the
United States.
"If, for the time being, Germany
should try to blockade our ports, in
Jess than sixty days we would find an
English fleet on our coasts involved in
protecting her own trade with the
United States.
England and France would be forced
as a measure of industrial self-defense
to protect their vessels and their trade
with the United States.
We have the money, and could easily
spend $250,000,000 in ships and appliances
of war.
With $50,000,000 in sixty days 1
could put an improvised fleet in * motion
wnieh would make short work of
German commerce. There are (500
riot-man MtpnniPN aiioat. I know |
where they are. We have fleet ships;
I eould pick them out now. We could
buy more. They would answer lor
privateers.
We are always prosperous in time of
war.
Such talk as this is "as coals to burning
coals, and wood to tire"?kindling
strife?fanning into flame a warlike
feeling. Js it not unfortunate that
Admiral Porter allowed himself to
speak as he is reported to have spoken ?
And is it not unfortunate that hiioh
sentiments should find their way into
any print unoccompanied by merited
criticism ? "The beginning of strife is
as when one letteth out water; therefore
leave off contention before it be
meddled with."

The Apostle?The Cross?The World.
Paul gloried in the cross of our Lord
Jesus Christ, whereby the world was
crucified unto him, and he unto the
world. He gloried in the odium
which the enemies of Christ associated
with the cross, and this was his
highest or sole glory, and was also the
exclusive medium of communication
with the world or the church. All
other "wires" had been cut, mus crucifying
the world unto hirn and him
unto the world. He was "determined
not to know or approve any tiling" in
the churches that was not in agreement
with "Christ and him crucified."
He would not send any communication
to the world or receive any from
the world save through the cross of
Christ.
Thus was Paul enabled to do, to suffer
and to glory through Christ who
strengthened him. The explanation
of the whole matter is that Paul was
filled with the Spirit of Christ.
Make Sure for Heaven.
To secure an abode eterual in the
heavenly kingdom it is necessary to l>e
found of Christ in peace at his comiug;
to be thus found of him it is necessary
to die in peace ; to thus die it is
necessary to live in peace; to thus Uveitis
necessary to be converted; to !<ei
converted it is necessary to manifest I
tepenlance towards God and exercise

ing justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus |
Christ." To maintain the peace thus;
realized in conversion, so sis to end pro- j
batiou life in peace, is tiie duty and
privilege of the justified. "Wherefore,
the rather, brethren give diligence
to make your calling and elec-l
lien sure. "Follow peace with alii
men, and holiness, without which no
man shall see the Lord." "Wherefore,
beloved, seeing that ye look for
such things, [the coming ot Christ and
the awful phenomena incident to his'
advent] be diligent, that ye may be j
found of him in peace, without spot,!
and blameless."

The Philadelphia J'rtux, March f?, j
contains a petition with hundreds of
signatures soon to be handed to the!
President. This petition respectfully'
asks the President's consideration ol j
propriety of retaining in office the)
present Commissioner of Indian Al'-j
lairs, Hon. John il. Oberly. similar
petitions, signed by leading Kepuhiieans,
haye been sent to the President
from other cities.
From the manifest endorsement of
Mr. Oberly l?y the Indian JliglUs Association
we think it would in- to the
interest of the Federal government
and to the welfare of the Indians for
Mr. Oberly to be retained. We no not
know what the politics of Mr. Oberly
aro, nor do we care. A capable and an
honest man is what is needed in that
office, and as Mr. Oberly has proven
himself to be such, he ought to rymain.

] t is Impossible to control and operate
mixed schools, even up North,
where they preach it. In an Ohio
county, recently, the matter was tested.
The farmers formerly had many
colored tenants. Since the passage of
a law requiring mixed schools, the farmers
notify the latter that they have
made other arrangement as to their
lands, and the latter must seek other
quarters, and in that way the colored
element i> eliminated from the schools.

\ happy illustration of the working
of our national institutions, has been
the mutual courtesy between the retiring
ami the incoming Presidents at the
time of the inauguration just consummated
at Washington. All party animosity
appears to have passed away,
at least for the time, and the two late
contestants for the headship of a great
nation exchanged places with entire
amity. Although without political
power, it is evident that the women of
the two households, out-going and incoming,
contributed much to this right
order of things at the White House
and the Capitol. Will the influence of
women be lessened, for such good ends,
if they ever become possessed of a
share in the c/ioicc of men and measures,
as partakers of the suffrage??

Considerable excitement prevails in
Quebec over the sharp antagonism
which has been awakened between the i
Catholics and Protestants of that province.
It is believed l>y intelligent observers
of the situation that the relations
between these two classes will
not bear much further strain. In Ontario
and Quebec the Roman Catholic
is practically the State Church, and
i>lher citizens have become restive unJer
the usurpation. The Legislature
jf Quebec recently enacted a bill
known as the Jesuits' Estates bill,
making provision for the payment of
?4no,(ioo to the Jesuits to reimburse
hem for property confiscated by the
British (Jovcrnment in 177,5. The To- <
onto Mail recently published an oath
which it alleges is taken by the Jesuits
nndiiig them to renounce allegiance ,
o any Protestant king, prince, or ,
Hate, and acknowledge the Pope alone ,
is spiritual and temporal sovereign.
Kor this the Jesuits have brought suit
igainst that journal to recover $50,000
lamages. Where Roman Catholics
ue in the majority the peace of the
country is never so secure as it is i
where Protestants predominate. <

What Others Say. <
Now Orleans Christian Advocate. 1
Is Tiikre Not a Mistake??I
have long been noticing such remarks
as the following in regard to the appointments
of j.reachers : "That man
deserves a better appointment;"
"That man is coming down ;" "That
work (especially if it is a good one)
should have a better preacher." And
if I can read the signs of the times
correctly, there is a prevalent practice
of judging of the quality and merits
of a preacher by the quality of the
work he is sent to serve. If he serves
a third-rate appointment, he is a thirdrate
preacher; and if he serves a firstrate
appointment?well, the inference
is plain.
1 know nothing of the working of
the Bishops and their Cabinet, but I
am inclined to think there is a slight
mistake in thus invariably estimating
preachers and their work. If the
Bishop and his Cabinet see a weak
work struggling for life, and they have
at their command a good preacher?a
man that would rank well?and by
sending this man to said weak work,
it could be built up, would it be anything
more than just to send him "to
it? Would it be a discounting of the
preacher and his talent? Could it be
considered a waste of talent? Would
it justify the remark so often heard
"That preacher is coming down!"
Coming down, indeed ! Is there any
coming down in going to save poor
lost souls and build up our common
cause? Yes; verily such a coming
down as that exhibited by our blessed
Savior, when he came to earth "and
took upon himself the form of a servant,"
"to seek and to save that which
was lost." Is not this idea of change
of position, as well as place, included
in our itinerant system? And, after
all, the change of position in point of
importance is more apparent than real.
Any place where we can work for the
Master is an exalted position. Was
Paul underrated when commanded to
turn from the Jews to the Gentiles?
Was he coming down when called in
to Macedonia, and there had to suffer?
Was he losing rank when sailing a
prisoner to Home?
*******
In my way of thinking, a preacher
never prove? more emphatically his
unfitness for any appointment than
when he thinks himself too good for
any save first-rate ones.

To rejoice with them that do rejoicc
is some times a brighter display of
grace than to weep with those who

sympathize with his neighbor in deep
sorrow, but to sympathize fully in the
joy of his prosperity requires freedom
from envy and jealousy. When one

did not deserve it, or he will disgrace
it, or meanly insinuate that he secured
it by the use of unworthy means. But
men of large hearts and genuine manhood
will take unfeigned pleasure in
the prosperity of others.
The Southwestern Methodist, in a
note concerning the question discussed
in the Evangelical Alliance of Kansas
City, "How shall we reach the
masses," goes directly to the point by
saying : "What we "most need is not
new methods, but increased zeal and
faith in working by the old methods."
Christ reached the "masses;" and if
we will do as he did, we will reach
them too. lie reached them by hunting
them up and doing them good,
and when we cease discussing the
question and go to work, as he has
shown us, we will reach all the
"masses," there are !
Vocal Music and Prevent ion of Con- ]
sumption.
ai a meeting 01 me jvieuicui ouciuty
of Virginia, October 28, 1888, I)r. 0. E.
liusey, of Lyuchburg, Va., read a paper
on the cultivation of vocal music '
in schools as one of the means of preventing
phthisis. He states it as a
well-known fact that tiiose nations
which are given to the cultivation of
vocal music are strong vigorous races,
with broad expansive clu-sts. I fan
hour a day in public schools were devoted
to the development of vocal music,
there would not be tne sad spectacle
of the drooping, withered, hollowchested,
round-shonldered children
which confronts us now. There is too
great a tendency to sacrifice physical
health upon the altar of learning.
Vocal music is gymnastic exercise of
the lungs, producing increased expansion
of the lung tissue itself. The
lungs ill improved breeds of cattle,
which naturally take little exercise
and are domiciled much of the time, '
are considerably reduced in size, when |

at liberty ; and so it is with tlie huinau
beings who lead inactive lives. Phthisis
generally begins at the apices of
the lungs:, because these parts are more
inactive, ami because the bronchial i
tubes arc so arranged that they carry
the inspired air with greater facility lo
the bases th:iu to the apices. During
inactivity a person will ordinarUy
breathe about 480 cubic inches of air
per minute. If he will walk at the
rate of six (sic) miles an hour, he will
breathe 3,12G0 cubic inches. In singing
this increases more than in walking,
us singing well requires all of the capacity
of the lungs. The instructor of
vocal music, in addition to his musical
education, should understand the auatumy
and physiology of the respiratory
organs.? Virginia Medical Monthly.
