CHURCH MILITIA. wen niifinru 1. 11 u 1 1. n m an mini inc oin- ( er day that he hAd noticed from accounts of doings In the east ns well as at home A ...II 1. n ...... I . . . . . . . that thern seems to be In nil of the churches of thfl present day a trend to organize societies having distinctly mili tary features In their orgnnltntlon. This tendency Is apparent In the Catholic nnd Evangelical denominations as well. The Catholic church has been enrournglng for sevrml years pnst the formation of uniformed knights, with all the necessary military accoutrements In their ranks. These orders of knlghlhond have been Increasing fast, so that It present there Is senrcely a Catholic church which does not own one or more of them. In the Protestant and Evangelical denomina tion the military features nrn largely confined to the youth of the' congrega tions, who have been organised Into mil itary companies, with various nnmes. Thus, the "Hovs' ftrlgnde," nnd the "Boys' Gospel Army" are Inking a fnst hold on the affections of christians. Of course, the great Salvation Armv Is en tirely outside of the churches, but It Is more -than any other religious organiza tion modelled nfter tho severe discipline and regulations of army Indies. And yet all this display of military prowess does not seem to Indlcnto nny unfriendly ntHt tn Aach Alh, f la .,,. t V.& ,,m- bollcul dress of the spiritual warfare, j which, they any, they nre currying on against the common enemy.
