Let us not be so absorbed in the dongs Of others,
to forget what is going on at home


TO The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald writes the following -


"Rev. H. Slicer, Of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, preached for the Baltimore volun-
teers at the marine barracks today and he
exhorted them like one Of the patriarchs Of
the Revolution. He exhorted them to fight,
and TO fight like men, and TO beware, above
all things, Of being shot in the back. He said
it was leading principle Of Christianity to be
ready to stand up, life or death, for our coun-
try. He had been himself soldier, and,
though past the vigor Of youth, he felt strong
desire to be one again. The man who would
not fight for his country was hardly to be
trusted in the chances OF saving his own soul
In brief, the q boys' said he spoke like q
book"


We have to say that the writer has taken a
true view Of the character Of Mr.. SLIcER fol
he is an able MANA christian and patriot,
who no doubt believes that man can serve
his country and his God ; and we fully agree
with him.-Baltimore Argus
