OI K CONGRESSMAN"* YIEWS.
Representative Edmunds, of this
congressional district, writes a letter
to tin Halifax Record, telling, as he
says, "how things iu Washington
strike an old man who hasn't been
there but once in thirty years." He
speaks in his letter of his experience in
church-going in particular in the cap
itol city.
Mr. Edmunds is hitnseil' an Episco?
palian, but as be had hoard so much of
the iniquity of Washington, he thought
ho would go fir6t. he said, to hear a
Methodist preach. He asked a police?
man todirect him, aud the old Methodist
church, where Grant attended worship,
was pointed out to him. Of this
church and the service Mr. Edmunds
says:
'?I was showu lbs most maguificeut
church I have ever seen. All the win?
dows were stained, and a soft, mellow
light within, so shaded that though ths
sun was brightly shiniug without, the
gas was lit near the pulpit. Il had the
largest and finest organ and a magnifi?
cent choir?many parts of the service
were sung?a paalm was giveu out and
the preacher and congregation read
alternate verses. The preacher was a
tine-looking man, who preached from a
written manuscript, turning over page
after page as he went on with h;3 ser?
mon."
Bishop Newman aud General Grant
made this church, the Metropolitan
Methodist, famous, but it is not known
now as a fashionable one, St. John's
Episcopal and the Church of the Coven?
ant on Connecticut aveuue bciDg con?
sidered the most fashionable iu the city.
Mr. Edmunds was not pleased" with
the sermon he heard iu the morn?
ing, aud so ha went in the after?
noon to hear Rev. Dr. Bartlett preach.
This is the church that Hayes attended,
and is not far from the White House.
Dr. Bartlett, the pastor, looks more
l;ke a banker or a railroad president
than a minister of the nospel, although
he is quite an able mau, and after hear
iug them both. Congressman Edmunds
coueluded that he would have to look up
Congressman Leste-, and hear an old
time soul-stirriug sermou.
The sermon Dr. Bartlett preached
Mr. Edmuuds thinks was exceedingly
comforting to a Washington audience
and many an old sinner.
In speaking ot buying Christmas
presents, Mr. Edmunds says Silcott,
the defaulting cashier of the house, ran
away with all of his money. He thinks
Silcott ought to have a taste of the old
fashioned lake that burns with fire and
brimstone. There are several other
cougrcssmcu who think like him, no
doubt.
CHRISTMAS.
The world has made great progress
iu art, in science, in literature and in
general knowledge since the custom of
celebrating the anniversary of the birth
of Christ began hundreds of years ago.
Much of that progress, too. has been
due to the teachings of Christianity,
and the people today who eujoy all
the privilege of enlightened govern?
ment, although they may lose sight of
the fact temporarily, cannot eutirely
forget it.
There will be thousands of happy re?
unions of separated members of fami?
lies, and from thousands ef churches
pastors will preach of "peace and good
will toward all men."
The day brings many things that are
pleasant. It encourages the habit of
gift-making, relieves the monotony of
every-day life and lessens fcr a time the
strain of business pursuits, and bringe
joy and gladness alike to old and
young. .
DEFEW AND GBADT.
Chauncey Depew, president of the
New York Central railroad, and the
late Henry Grady formed the two mo?t
felicitous after-dinner speakers in
America.
Two years ago Henry Grady made
his famous Bpeech before the New Eng?
land club in New York, and Monday
night Mr. Depew performed the eame
taBk, referring at length to Mr. Grady'e
brilliancy and ability.
Both were men of ideaB, and pos?
sessed the faculty of saying the right
thing in the right place, aud in a style
that could nbt fail to command atten?
Hob.
THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.
As wae to have been expected in
forming tbe house committee?, Speaker
Reed has bseu governed almost entirely
by the consideration of who voted for
aud who agaiusl his election.
New York aud Pennsylvania which
states made him Mr. Carlisle's success?
or, have together received fifteen chair?
manships, while the South gets only
one.
Many of tho congressmen appointed
to thsse positions are comparatively
obscure nod unknown men, the most
prominent ouc* having been shoved in
the background inpiy because they
