George Washington was a
member o( the Episcopal church
and a great believer in prayer, as
is evidenced by numerous mes
sages. Oue was: "The blessing
and protection of Heaven are at
all times necessary,but especially
so in time of public danger and
distress." He alsa said: "Though
I am a member of the Church of
England. I have no exclusive
partialities."
John Adams was a Congrega
tionalist and came of a long line
of Puritan ancestors, but was
very liberal in his views as t?
religion. He was baptized Octo
ber. 26, 1535, in the first church
of Quincy, called "The Church
of Statesmen."
Thomas Jefferson's ideas on
religion are difficult to classify.
He was an admiror of the great
Tom Paine, the agnostic, and as
"Godiess a man." but a letter to
Mrs. John Adams shows that he
believed in a future life, where
"we will meet our friends." and
his life was a strictly moral one.
He belonged to no church.
John Quincy Adams was a
Congregationalism like his father,
and wrote a hymn.
Madison and Monroe were both
Episcopalians in^good standing.
Andrew Jackson was notorious
ly irreligious in his eariy man
hood and mature life. As a youth
at Salisbury, N. C.. he is de
scribed as "the most roaring,
rollicking, game-cocking, horse
racing.card-playing, mischievous
fellow that ever lived in that
town." After his retirement from
the Presidency he became con
verted and joined the Presbyter
ian church, his dying words be
ing: "My dear children, and
friends and servants. I hope and
trust to meet you all in heaven,
both white and black."
Martin Van Buren never made
any religious profession, but was
a man of irreproachable morality,
and. according to the orthodox
ones, is now burning.
William Henry Harrison was
an Episcopalian of strong con
victions, which prevented him
from fighting duels.
John Tyler was also an Episco
palian.
James K. Polk made no pro
fession until he was on his death
bed, when a Methodist clergyman
sprinkled him.
Zachary Taylor didn't give the
question any thought, but meekly
paid his wife's contributions to
the Episcopal church, Taylor
was very illiterate, knew little
about theology and cared less.

quiet but pious man, who affili
ated with the Baptists.

pal communicant.
James Buchanan was always
pious, but didn't join the church
until after his retirement from
the Presidency, when he bocame
a Presbyterian.
Abraham Lincoln, according
to Col. Bob Ingersull, was a dis
ciple of Voltaire, but ho ex
pressed Christian conviction and
was inclined to spiritualism. Both
his parents were Baptists.
Andrew Johnson was not a
member of any church, but a
tacit believer in Christianity. He
was unusually handy with his
"cuss words." and inclined to
Methodism.
Ulysses Grant was a Methodist,
and extolled for his piety by his
biographers, though he was
never known to do anything be
yound letting fall a few pious re
marks.

Methodist.

of the Church of Christ, ?r
Campbellite church, and once
tried his hand at preaching.

byterian, and attends church

STILL AT IT.
Hicks h? the Weather t*r Kay all
Arranged.
There Is a marked tendency U>
frost, as a rule, from about th?
10th to 15th of May. especially
when storms occur on or just
preceding those dates. But the
indications for this month are
that this frost period will reach
its crisis at the close of reaction
ary storms central about the 14th.
The new moon on that 'day. and
the equinox of Mercury on the
16th, will increase and prolong
storm conditions, ard add to the
probabilities of frost after the
storms in northerly regions.
From the 18th to 22d falls a
marked storm period, the crisi9
of which will likely be reached
about the 12d. A very warm
wave will pass over the entire
country during the period, and
dangerous storms are liable to
result. Cloud formations and
other storm indications should be
prudently watched. Easterly to
southerly winds, sultry air, with
low and falling barometer are
certain harbingers of coming dis
turbances. After storms pass,
if winds continue from southerly
points, or the barometer sullenly
refuses to rise, look out for a
repetition of rain, wind and
thunder, in cycles of twelve and
twenty-four hours until wiqds
shift permanently to westerly,
and the barometer moves decided
ly upward. About the 16th and
27th there will be another rise in
temperature, resulting in react
ionary storms; beginning, of
course, first in the west, and ap
pearing later at points along their
march to the east. Fix this fact
well in your minds. Tou will
soon learn by the plain indica
tions when the storms are liable
to be retarded, or to appear early
in the periods in you locality.
The last of May is the center
of a regular storm period, which
runs into the opening days of
June. Full moon on the 80th
will tend to hasten developments,
so that a very warm wave well
defined, and on its way from the
west, attended by increasing
storms, by the closing hours of
the month.
