The uncrowned dead, the uncrowned dead,
In many lands they lie,
In alien isles, where duty led,
To dare, and fight, and die.
The heedless wind blows o'er the spot,
The vacant stars shine down;
Their name and country are forgot,
They won no fair renown.
Yet bravely there they toiled and wrought,
And fearlessly they died,
Still mastered by the nobler thought
They trusted them to guide.
With honors gained by toil and loss,
Men distant lands explore,
And lo, the bearer of the cross
Has reached the spot before.
No sordid motive drove him there,
But choice and purpose free,
His fellow men his only care,
Man's need his only plea.
He freely gave, as did his Lord,
The best he had to give,
No ruthless service of the sword,
But life, that men might live.
And some for sterner duty dear,
Where arms must clash in fight,
As best they knew, with conscience clear,
Have battled for the right;
As when of yore, by high command,
In justice without ruth,
The chosen host swept from the land
The enemies of truth;
Or when, as to the bondman's cry
Avenging Heaven gave ear,
And countless thousands marched to die
For what they held most dear.
Ah, yes, the uncrowned dead are there,
Tho slab ne'er mark the sod;
Themselves for right they did not spare—
And left all else with God.
They sleep in thousands there mayhap,
And none can tell a name;
Their mangled corpses filled the gap—
But others got the fame.
For praise of men they did not fight,
Nor cared to whom it fell,
But, loyal to their highest light,
Their part they acted well.
To them approval from within
Was more than earthly fame;
From God and self they sought to win
A conscience free from blame.
And so they lie, the uncrowned dead,
'Neath many alien skies,
Unknown, forgotten in their bed
Until the dead arise.
Forgot and crumbled into dust;
Yet are their deeds enrolled,
Beyond the reach of moth and rust,
In words of living gold.
Forgot; yet could eternal night
Such souls forever bind,
The universe must perish quite,
"And leave no wrack behind."
For if the innate purpose high
Nowhere may claim its own,
All nature is a cursed lie
Through every clime and zone;
And right, and truth, and moral worth,
Are lures by devils planned
To torture souls, for fiendish mirth,
With visions vain and grand.
Sleep, uncrowned dead, till God's designs
Proclaim thy royal birth,
When kings are known by other signs
Than mark the great of earth.
Rest
By Professor Drummond
REST is the mind at leisure from itself. It is the perfect poise of the soul; the absolute adjustment of the inward man to the stress of outward things; the preparedness against every emergency; the stability of assured convictions; the eternal calm of an invulnerable faith; the repose of a heart set deep in God.—Professor Drummond.
Temptation

TEMPTATION is the means by which those who claim to be the children of God are tested and tried.—Mrs. E. G. White.
Denied the Right of Religious Conviction
Plea of J. G. Dasilva Before the Police Court of Honolulu
YOUR Honor, the Judge of the Court. First of all I must say that I am a citizen of a kingdom whose constitution is before us—the Ten Commandments. I have also applied for citizenship in the great and glorious republic of the United States, under whose judiciary power I am to defend myself to-day.
I have been conducting a small business in a store on Luso Street for about four years. In this business, with hard labor, and with the coöperation and help of my dear old mother, my wife and children, have earned a fair living and enjoyed freedom and happiness.
Two weeks before my arrest, an officer came to my store to inform me of this law regulating Sunday keeping, but I was out. A week later Officer Wright came and ordered my store to be closed, which order I obeyed for good reasons.
I called on Sheriff Jarrett and laid my case before him, and tried to make him see the injustice, the hardship, and the unconstitutionality of this law, especially in my case. But the answer was the same that was given at the trial of Christ, "We have a law," etc. Our county attorney gave me the same answer, so also did Deputy Sheriff Rose. Last Sunday, as my custom and duty has been for the last four years, I opened my store and served my good and patient customers, who had been without provisions all day Sabbath (Saturday), because of my keeping that day holy, according to the dictates of my conscience and the law of my God, and in harmony with the Constitution of the United States.
I trust that your honor and the court will see that my arrest was not a lawful, just, and impartial one. In that locality, within a few hundred feet, there were seven more stores all like mine open at that time, 8:30 A.M. I was the only one who was arrested, altho one of these stores had its delivery wagon, loaded with groceries, on the road to its customers, and was stopped by the policeman, but not arrested.
I asked the officer not to call for the patrol-wagon, telling him that I would walk down to the police station; but he would not consent to do so. His conduct toward both me and my family, I may have a chance to talk about later. He went out, and I quickly took my coat and hat, to ask him again the same privilege, but did not meet him. Not seeing him, I went direct to the police station, and gave myself up as an arrested man. My name was taken. Then Sheriff Jarrett came in and sent me home, requesting my presence in court the next day at 9 o'clock. I claim, and hope to prove it to your honor's satisfaction, and the court's, that this law regulating Sabbath or Sunday keeping was made in excess of the powers of the Federal Government, and should therefore be void and of none effect. Even an act of Congress itself would be void, if it should be in excess of the powers delegated to it by the Constitution of the United States.
The fourth amendment to the Constitution reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." The fourteenth amendment also reads: "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States, . . . nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
I appeal to your honor's wisdom and understanding of legal enactments, and ask in all candor, Does not this Sunday law directly contradict and violate these two articles of the Constitution of the United States? It seriously abridges the privileges of every laboring man, especially of every seventh-day Sabbath-keeper, as it takes from him one sixth of his time for labor, thus severely crippling him. It establishes a religious ordinance, and compels men to perform it, and in my case it deprives me of the equal protection of the laws.
I am exceedingly glad that I am not alone in this interpretation. That great and most noble man, the father of our country (George Washington), and the president of that wise committee which framed the most accurate and wonderful constitution of the nations of the earth, declared that Sunday imposed on those who did not believe in it, was nothing more or less than religious persecution. It is strange; nevertheless a fact, that in the time of his presidency, this persecution took place. The friends of the arrested ones wrote to this noble man asking him if the Constitution perfected by that committee of which he was president warranted such interference with their religious freedom and rights of conscience. This letter is dated August 4, 1789, and can be found in "An Appeal to the Friends of Equal Rights and Religious Freedom in the United States by the Seventh-Day Baptist General Conference, Published in 1846." The President replied:
If I had had the least idea of any difficulty resulting from the Constitution adopted by the convention of which I had the honor to be president when it was formed, so as to endanger the rights of any religious denomination, then I never should have attached my name to that instrument. If I had any idea that the general Government was so administered that the liberty of conscience was endangered, I pray you be assured that no man would be more willing than myself to revise and alter that part of it, so as to avoid all religious persecution. You can, without any doubt, remember that I have often expressed as my opinion, that every man who conducts himself as a good citizen is accountable alone to God for his religious faith, and should be protected in worshiping God according to the dictates of his conscience.
Another good authority to show that the United States should not esteem one day above another and enforce it upon the people, is the verdict of the United States Senate Sunday Mail Report of 1820:
It is not in the legitimate province of the legislature to determine what religion is true or what false. Our Government is a civil and not a religious institution. Our Constitution recognizes in every person the right to choose his own religion, and to enjoy it freely without molestation. . . . The proper object of government is to protect all persons in the enjoyment of their civil as well as their religious rights, and not to determine for any whether they shall esteem one day above another, or esteem all days alike. . . . What other nations call religious toleration, we call religious rights. They are not exercised in virtue of governmental indulgence, but as rights of which government can not deprive any portion of its citizens, however small. Despotic power may invade those rights, but justice still confirms them.
Now to show that this same principle is recognized in Congress to-day, and that the senators consider all Sunday legislation as granting special privileges to members of religious societies, and denying them to those who do not believe, in plain violation of the Constitution, I quote from a speech made in the last Congress by Senator Heyburn on the Johnston Sunday Bill:
This legislation grants special privileges to the people who are members of religious societies. More than half the world and more than half the people in this city are not members of any religious society. It grants a special privilege to those who are, which is withheld from those who are not. The law in this land was intended to insure perfect freedom and independence to the citizens in regard to the observance of religious principles. . . . No man has the right to set himself up as the moral standard of all the community or of any part of the community except himself. As to the use of the Sabbath day, every man, so far as personal acts that do not include any acts of lawlessness are concerned, should be the guardian of his own morals. It was never intended that the law should lay down the rules that should constitute a good man, and say that all men should live up to these rules. That never was the intention of the lawmakers, and we discovered it very soon after we became a nation and had organized government, and we abandoned that kind of legislation. It was the legislation that resulted in whipping people at the tail of carts, placing them in the stocks, branding them upon the hand, and so forth.
It was such legislation that wrote the annals of bloodshed and oppression and intolerance in the religious history of the world, where a part of the people undertook to be sponsors for the conscience of another part. Upon these same grounds the Supreme Court of California in 1858 decided that Sunday laws were unconstitutional, for in this decision we read, "The act in question is in intention and effect a discrimination in favor of one religious profession over all others, and as such is in violation of the Constitution." The Sunday law violates this provision of the Constitution, because it establishes a compulsory religious observance. It violates as much the religious freedom of the Christian as of the Jew. The principle is the same, whether the act compels us to do what we wish to do or what we wish not to do.
There are still some States and Territories which are loyal to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and we hope that Hawaii will soon be added to this number. There are courts which also consider the rights of man inviolable as they are taught by that eminent jurist Blackstone, who said:
These rights, then, which God and nature have established, and which are therefore called natural rights, such as are life and liberty, need not the aid of human laws to be more effectually invested in every man than they are; neither do they receive any additional strength when declared by the municipal laws to be inviolable. On the contrary, no human legislature has the power to abridge or destroy them.
Your honor, I am trying to live a conscientious Christian life and earn an honest living for my family, and kindly ask you to consider the words of President Fairchild:
Government is never the gainer in the execution of a law that is manifestly unjust. . . . Conscientious men are not the enemies, but the friends, of any government but tyranny. They are its strength, and not its weakness. Daniel, in Babylon, praying contrary to law, was a true friend and supporter of the government; while those who, in their pretended zeal for the law and the constitution, would strike down the good man, were its real enemies. It is only when government transcends its sphere, that it comes in conflict with the conscience of men.
Concentration of Wealth and Social Discontent
F. J. McRae, the expert of the Stanley Committee, has rendered his report to that body. He states that the J. P. Morgan company received $69,300,000 in cash as fees and profits for organizing the big steel trust. The steel trust made net earnings, during a period of nine years, of $1,029,685,389. Such figures as these show without any mistake how rapidly and surely the wealth of the country is being drawn into the hands of a very few men. And it is the definite knowledge of these things that is causing so much discontent among the masses of the people. And any one ought to be able to see that since the great money interests of the world are determined to hold their own and to continue to pile up their wealth, the mass of the people will become more and more discontented and turbulent. The law of gravity is not surer in its action than will be the results that will follow the greed that is seizing all the resources of the world. The reforms that many men are so loudly talking, are only touching the edges of the disease. Superficial legislation can not meet the demands of this time. There must be a work done down deep in the hearts of men if we would be saved from the destruction that is brooding over the world.
Mexico seems to plunge deeper and deeper into revolution. She is said to be in the most turbulent and unsettled state that she has known for thirty years. Earnest appeals have been sent to the Government at Washington from the citizens along the border in Texas to send troops to protect lives and property, and equally earnest appeals have come from citizens living in Mexico. Reports had been given out that the Government could do nothing in the matter, at least at the present, for there was no reason why the United States should invade Mexican territory. And persistent reports kept coming from the Madero government, threatening to institute a general massacre of all American citizens within the borders of Mexico the moment the United States troops should step across the border. It was also given out that the United States could not protect the residents of other nations in Mexico, and therefore the French government decided to send a cruiser at once to the scene of strife to protect French interests, and other governments will likely follow. And this has caused the United States to make public extensive plans to put an army of 100,000 men on the borders of Mexico, ready to act promptly if events continue to develop so that it will seem necessary. It appears from present despatches that Uncle Sam has not been unmindful of his subjects, even tho contrary reports had been circulated, and he is abundantly equipped to strike quickly and strike hard.

The strikers at Lawrence, Massachusetts, have sent a delegation to Washington to appear before Congress with their grievances. The labor battle there seems to continue unabated. Among the recent occurrences was the finding of nineteen sticks of dynamite attached to the truck of a freight-car loaded with woolen goods. Life has become very cheap in the minds of many men. Of course both sides will charge the other with having placed the dynamite in this position; but whoever did it, the deed was a violently dastard one. Many innocent persons were endangered in order to wage this secret, underhanded warfare. And it is only one of the many incidents that are multiplying in all parts of the world which show that scenes of violence are to follow the tense feeling of ill will that is growing up between the classes that have been formed.
Despatches from London and also from Australia indicate that both Capt. Robert F. Scott, the British explorer, and Capt. Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian, have reached the South Pole.
The Italian Chamber of Deputies has passed a bill annexing Tripoli. There was slight opposition to it among the Socialists and a few others, but in the main the city "went wild with joy."
In discussing the amount of money necessary for a well-dressed American woman to spend on clothes, Mrs. C. H. Anthony, of Muncie, Indiana, stated that $50,000 is about the right sum. She then proceeded to give an itemized account of how she was able to get along on that much money for her annual clothes supply.
Altho Hiram C. Gill, the man who was deposed from the mayor's office by the recall in Seattle two years ago, ran ahead in the primaries, he was defeated in the election. Let this be said to the credit of the city that refuses to place a man in office who believes in running a town with saloons and every other kind of dive without any restriction.
Just as it seemed that China was about to end her war by the establishment of a republic, and when all the world was congratulating her, a large number of her soldiers mutinied and began a general massacre. To protect the lives and property of citizens of other nations who are residing there, foreign troops are being rushed in, and some kind of intervention may become necessary. A spirit of war is rife in the world that seems hard to suppress.
Secretary Knox has been received very cordially in the main during his tour through Central America. The crowds turn out to cheer him, and he is banqueted and treated most royally. But a despatch from Nicaragua states that certain newspapers published letters with big head-lines, suggesting that dynamite should be used against the secretary. It is to the credit of the Nicaraguan government that these anarchistic teachers were promptly arrested, and the celebrations in honor of Mr. Knox went on in gala style among enthusiastic people.
The women of England who believe in female suffrage, having noticed that the laboring men were able to awe the government by force and threats, started in on a campaign of breaking show-windows in one of the leading business districts of London. Women came up in their automobiles to join in the window smashing, and others had already preceded them on foot. Before they could be arrested and taken away by the police, they broke a large number of windows and did much damage. Two days later they appeared en masse to hold a great meeting in Parliament Square; and an army of 9,000 police, infantry, and cavalry was called out before they were dispersed. With the strikes and other matters that are confronting England she certainly has her hands full of domestic troubles.
Much has been said in the papers of late in regard to the "money trust," and many have denied that there was any such thing in existence. But the House of the United States Congress seems to think that there is sufficient evidence of such a trust to warrant the passing of a resolution directing the Committee on Banking and Currency to probe the matter thoroly. The money trust, by combining the large banks, is able to control firmly all money matters. And whenever it is to their best interests to do so, they can hold the money in their great coffers, and thus create a panic, and force their schemes through. To be sure many innocent people will be made to suffer, but this is not the concern of the money power. Its concern is to control things so that it can pile up more and more billions into its vast hoards. The heaping together of great aggregations of wealth is one of the leading topics of discussion in these times. It is significant, and we should study to know what will be the real outcome of these intensifying conditions. Did you ever study the first part of the fifth chapter of the book of James in connection with the facts of the gathering of the wealth of the world in a comparatively few hands?
Crippling the Boys
ONE of the worst agencies, if not the very worst, for crippling our boys is the cigaret, and the habit is growing alarmingly. Ten billion cigarets a year are smoked in the United States, or an average of over a hundred for each man, woman, and child in the whole nation. When it is taken into account that there are millions of children who are too young to smoke, and that there are many other millions who do not use the cigaret, it is shown that some people are using a very great number of them.
The habit does its greatest evil among boys. Once it is formed it grows on them very rapidly, and soon destroys their vitality by breaking down their nervous energy. Boys who form the habit early, seldom have enough ambition left to complete the grammar grades in school.
The cigaret, and the use of tobacco in all its various forms, together with the drink curse, are reaching out with fiendish hands in every direction for the manhood of the world. The use of tobacco and the use of liquors are twin evils that are alarmingly on the increase. They are the great leaders that are drawing their millions into the attendant vices and crimes that curse the age.
The evils that are brought into the physical life through the use of tobacco and alcoholic drinks are very bad indeed, but they are almost as nothing when compared with the moral wreckage that these twin destroyers produce. And altho these facts can be demonstrated, yet there is an army of men who insist on manufacturing and distributing these body-and-soul-destroying commodities, and all for the sake of making money. They would seem to say: "What do I care how many boys are ruined! I have a good chance to make money by cultivating and intensifying their depraved appetites, and I am going to make the money, no matter what the cost in wrecking the health and morals of the boys and men of the nation and of the world."
The outlook for the conversion of the world and the much-talked-of millennium is not very bright while there is such a vast number who insist on making their money by educating the rising generation to drink and smoke and revel in the other vices and crimes that attend these twin evils. Any one who will calmly look at actual facts, and refuse to be led away by gushing sophistries, can readily see that the apostle spoke the truth when he said that "evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse," until Christ comes back to earth in person to put an end to the reign of sin.
The divine Book holds out no hope of saving this whole world, or that it ever will all turn to Christ. Our hope and our aim must be to reach the individual and to save as many as we can. And if there was ever a time when fathers and mothers should be wide awake to guard their little boys and girls, that time is now. They should most faithfully teach them in their tenderest years, of the evils that beset them at every step. It is only in this way that they may hope to save them from the ruin of mind and heart and body that is beckoning them on all sides.
Now and Never
By A. W. Peach
Not all the music in the world,
Sung e'er so sweet and clear,
With all the master's magic wrought,
Can thrill the silent ear.
Not all the sunshine in the skies,
Tho falling tenderly,
With kiss like lilies' breath, can light
The eye that can not see.
Not all the love the great world holds,
With deepest longing said,
And fraught with all that love can mean,
Can reach a loved one dead.
Speak now thy word of love and cheer,
Thy heart its sunshine spread;
Swift be thy lips their song to sing,
Ere life and love have fled!
—A. W. Peach, in "Farm Journal."
Has One a Right to Happiness?
From the Sunday School Times
"Has one a right to happiness?" asks a widely scattered advertisement of a would-be epoch-making book promulgating "liberal" ideas upon divorce. The implication is that the answer must unmistakably be "Yes." For the right to happiness is quite generally conceded. In this, people are in accord with a venerable document of our republican faith which asserts that man has certain inalienable rights, such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the truth of which we have for one hundred and forty years been illustrating by electrocuting certain of our citizens, shutting up others, and providing social and other conditions which have made life a long misery for many more. That, other things not being neglected, a good God or an intelligent government will seek the happiness of the greatest number of their subjects or citizens, can not be disputed. But these other things must be considered and some of them must be considered first.
The easy notion that "one has a right to happiness" is the cause of more than nine tenths, if indeed it is not the cause of all, the sin, foulness, strife, and unhappiness in the world. Wipe out the idea, and replace it with the truth, and the long and shameful record of the divorced, and, alas, of many of the undivorced, would disappear at a breath.
The question, "Has one a right to happiness?" is compounded of several dangerous ethical errors. It assumes that a man or a woman is "one," when as a matter of fact we are each both less and more than one. We are fractions, which must be completed by many other lives to make a full and rounded unity. No one can rightly consider any problem of life unless he considers the many others that make up his life. And each one of us is also part of a half-dozen, a dozen, a hundred others, in our touch on other lives, in our weight and influence and bearing upon our fellows. Any soul that approaches a moral question with "one" on his lips starts fatally wrong.
If we take next on our lips the words "a right," we move fatally farther astray. When we are considering another man, and what he can be, or what we can or ought to do for him, "right" is the word; but from the angle of what we are to seek for ourselves, it would be an incalculable boon to the world if "right" could be forever expunged from the human vocabulary. The only real justification any man has for standing up for his "rights" is lest his failure to do so should breed in the body politic the bad habit of injustice. But that is not on his own account; it is simply that society may be clear of sin, and others may receive their due. Imagine what a world this would become if all men, or the majority of men, at once ceased to strive for rights and began to live only for duties!
Perhaps an even more fatal error is wrapped up in that word "happiness." The spirit that asks if we have a right to that, and proposes to climb to it over the broken laws of God and man, has utterly misconceived what happiness is. In its original meaning happiness was a state of "good hap," the fortunate state, the state that had received the best that could come to it, or at least a very genuine good. It was the heathen synonym for the Christian "blessed," given by impartial fate or capricious deities, where the latter, blessedness, is bestowed by all-wise and holy beneficence. But neither of these conceptions finds place in the word as it is used in this question. Happiness here is pleasant human association, congenial companionship, satisfied and yet unsated desire, delights, pleasure, "thrills." In the light of that definition, which is clearly the one foremost in the questioner's mind, is it possible to answer "Yes"?
Of course we have no right to be happy, no right to any combination of personal pleasurable relationship or feeling, at the expense of a broken law of God. True, many of those who flatly insist on this "right" question whether God is, or whether He has made such laws. But those who have been reared in reverence for God and His Book, who have seen in Jesus Christ a competent Lawgiver as well as a capable Saviour, will be slow to buy emotional satisfaction at such a price. And it would be well for the others to examine once again the "law and the testimony," and the deep, wise, universal, eternal principles on which they are based.
The happiness that is won at the cost of lowering our own high ideals, coarsening or blunting our own delicacy of conscience, dethroning the spirit of its supremacy over the flesh, abandoning our fidelity to promise, and violating the rights of others, is a costly gain. The substitution of self-gratification, as a motive, for fairness, duty, helpfulness, works fatal havoc on the soul. The fact that such havoc is also accompanied by spiritual blindness and insensibility explains, no doubt, the small effect such considerations as this have on those who contemplate or have taken the step.
"But," says one, "have we not a right to happiness if we obey the rules of the game?" We shall never have the great questions of morals and duty put on the right foundation till we learn to answer even this question, and with an eternal emphasis, "No!"
It is rather a bold thing, at the start, for any man to talk about his "rights" in the presence of God. Paul would have laughed, or shuddered, at that. The clay making inquisition of the potter! "Right" implies some claim derived from action on our part. And when we have done all, we shall be obliged to say, "Unprofitable servants: we have done that which it was our duty to do;"
For merit lives from man to man,
And not from man, O Lord, to Thee.
The proper human attitude toward joy or pain, "happiness" or sorrow, is, "Even so, Father; for so it seemed good in Thy sight."
Yet, looked at in imagination from the divine side, that of the heavenly Father, who desires to do most for His earthly children, is not happiness the one gift He seeks to have them inherit? Even here, we must realize that happiness is no soul's primary right, or good, or aim. At best it is a by-product. If we do look forward with the eye of faith and see the proposition of human faithfulness, goodness, and character, with the divine love and power, worked out into its final accompaniments of unbroken heavenly peace, joy, rapture, we are very certain that the one main aim is the deed and the character, and not the feeling. We are very certain of another thing,—that, in the stage in which we now are, the feeling is entirely subsidiary and incidental, and ever and again omissible. We might be "happy" forever, and forever miss life's goal. We might never once be "happy," and yet gloriously gain life's goal. We are not here to be happy. We are here to be harmless, and holy, and helpful. We are here to be coworkers with God in the world's redemption. We are here to battle for the right and against the wrong. We are here to fight and foil the adversary of souls. This light thing called "happiness" has small place in the vocabulary of a soul that has weight or vision.
God's men have not been "happy" men. They have been men pressed down by burdens, pierced with the pangs of human suffering and sin; like their own Lord, "men of sorrows, and acquainted with grief." They have had sunshine, "the light that never was on land or sea." They have had peace, "such peace as the world neither gives nor takes." They have had joy, the joy of the warrior, of the life-saver, of the heart-fellow of Jesus Christ. They have not missed entirely the finer, lighter pleasures of loving humanity; indeed, of these they have had the finest. They may, or may not, know the love of wife and children; they certainly know the sweet fellowship of human love, service, gratitude. But, appreciating these things to the full, they have counted none of them dear and weighty beside this; "To accomplish Thy work!"
A "right to happiness"! Let the child about his play ask that; but let the full-grown man or woman, made in the image of God, made for God, ask only one right, that right itself a glorious gift of grace: the right to spend and be spent for humanity; the right to be a beneficent spiritual power in this world; the right to walk in the very footsteps of Christ!
