" Gentlemen,,! shall r.ot attend your
meeting this evening. I have an en
izagcmcnt out of town, and shall keep it.
I do not recognize you as capable of
judging or tvc.i full apprehending me
You evidently regard uic 03 a weak
sentimentalist, misled by a maudlin
-philosophy. I arraign you as narrow
inindcd blockheads, who would like to
be useful to a great and good cause.
you don't know how. Your attempt to
base a great enduring party on the
bate nud wrath necessarily engendered
Jy. a Woody civil war, is as though -you
would plant a colony on an ice -berg
which had some how drifted into a
tropical ocean. I tell you hero that
out of a life earnestly devoted to the
will' select my going to Richmond and
signing that bail bond as the wisest aet,
and will feel that it did more for free-t-Ioin
and humanity than all of you are
competent to do, though you had lived
to the age of Methuselah:
" All I care for is, that you make
this a square, stand up fight and record
-your judgment by yeas and nays. I
.-care not how few vote with mo, nor how
uii.ny vote against me; fur 1 know that
tlio latter will repent it iu dust and
n.shcs before three years have passed,
Undcn-tavd, once for all, that I dare
you and defy you, and that I propose to
fight it out on the line that I have held
from the day of Leu's surrender. So
long as any man was seeking to over,
throw our government, he was my
enemy ; from the hour iu which he
laid down his arms, he was my formerly
f iring countryman. So long as any is
at heart opposed fo the national unity,
fi-o federal authority, -or to that asser.
tinn of tho equal rights of all men
which has become practically identified
with loyality and nationality, I shall
flo my best to deprive him of power ;
but
whenever lie ceases to bo thu.-', I
di-mand his restoration to all tho
privileges of American citizeuship."
" I give you fair uotiec that I shall
ui .;e re-enfranchisement of thos-j now
jdc-eribed for rebellion so soon us 1
.hall feel confident that this course is
iv;r-Litetit with the freedom of the
Ll.o'ks tind the unity of tho republic,
Mid that I shall demand a .recall of all
now in exile only for participating in
I';-' rebellion, whenever the country
i-hV.I have been si thoroughly pacified
that its safety will not hereby be en
dangered. And so gentlemen hoping
that you will heueufiii'th comprehend

From tho gently springing grass, the

CATHOLIC CHKI STIANITY -NO. 7.
Suppose an Israelite, bitten by one of
lie deadly serpents, and knowing that
tho bite would prove fatal iu a few hours,
if ho did not obtain relief from some
source, should say nevertheless that he
would not lotik.for healiugto the brazen
serpent which Mescs had .lifted up Ic
cmc he believed it was a humbug ;
.should wo not say 'that such a msu de.
scivcd his fate ? Yet a man might say
it was contrary to reason ar.d common
tense to supposo that looking upon the
brazen imitation of the eerpent which
had bitten -him would cure the fatal bite.
But all such objections were out of
place. This was the way which God
appointed Jar -tho healing of the. people,
a way, indeed, whiuh was entirely
arbitrary, but which none could misun.
derstand, and ivhich cost them nothing
against which no honest mau could have
the least objection. After this, if any
died of the sorpon'Jo .bite, it was their
own fault. God had promised a certain
cure if they would only look ; refusing
to do this was evidence of an unbelieving
or rebellions spirit, thouuh they might
boast of reason, and accuse Moses of
humbugging tho people.
Vnn- !.:- ,-1. KnToro n. we
hea the glad sound of the Gospel : "As
Moses lifted up the serpent in the des.
ett, to shall tho Son of man bo lifted
up ; " and accordingly he was lifted up
ou the cross "lhat whosoever belicv
ctli in Him shall not perish, but may
have-life everlasting." A-nd net as in
case of the serpent ia tho desert; but
now wo aro informed as to tho way in
which the iiftieg up of Christ effects
tho salvation of those that Jook to Iliui.
His death was a sacrifice to divine jus
tice an atonement for human guilt ;
so that God may be just and justify tho
believer in Jesus.
Jiut I wish now to insist on tho FACT
that Ktivution which includes the for
giveness of sins and a blessed immortali
ty is freely offered to all men through
faith in Christ. And for any sinnento
doubt that God will savo him if ho
looks to Jesus, is just as wicked as it
would have been .for any Israolite to
doubt that God would heal him of the
serpent') bite if he would look upon the
serpent of brass. And since, in the
ono case ns in flic ofher, thero is no
other icaj to escape the impending evil,
we can understand why uubclicf is tho
prevailing sin of the world. Sec John
10, 8.
15ut why is it that all men are not
saved, when a suffieieut atouenicut has
been made for all, and -all aro invited
to como and " tako of tho water of life
freely ? " Why is it, than when Christ
is preached as willing aud able to save
forever All who come to (Jod Ly IL'm,
so many refuse to come Tho fact,
strango and sad as it is, cannot bede
wed. There aro vory many, even un..
df tho fullligfct of tho gospel, who
Hi7 net como to Christ that they might
havo life. TJipj would rather die than
ho saved in this way ; or at loast run
the risk of death, than look tft. tho Sa
vior noic tho only opportunity they
are sure of ; and this is unaccountable,
except on tho ground that the human
heart is " deceitful above all things, aud
desperately wicked " " enmity against
God."
But como believe ; and since all are
by nature esseutially aliko all aro
" dead in siu " we must iiHjuiro whence
the difference? C. O.
