The Brave Deed 01 a Young Maori to Save Tao Old Men. courage is not an attribute peculiar to be white elan, nor is self-sacrifice the prerogative of civilization. In Mr. J. C. Firth's "Nation -Making;" Is told a story as touching. in its brave devotion, as any tale of the Victoria cross. The incident occurred at Oraknn, where the ngtish soldiers had just defeated the &oris. A little party of colonial troops, ursuing fugitives, came upon three atives, two old leen and one young Ik•w. The youth. seeing the soldiers, drop- ped on one knee and aimed with his gun at the advancing party, Which halt- ed a moment, while the old inen ran to- ward the forest. The old inen had brown away their firearms, in order to ,ake escape easier. The soldiers fired at the youth, but nilssed. \\'ithout discharging his gun, he sprang to his feet and ran on in ad- vance until he caught up with the old nren once more. Then, facing about, be presented jiis gun us before, but re- ilicrve.ed his fire. The weary old Hien gradually drew near cover. Once more the soldiers tired and missed; once more the gallant fel- kw turned and hounded on. The old nen were close to the forest when the ye'ulh. nearly fainting, again hmel( and took aim, but still did not fire. The soldiers scot hien as he knelt, and rushed to the forest, but failed to capture the two fugitives. who, safe in ibe dense underhush, made their escape. On their return the sol tiers found the brave young renew Tying dead. Itis gun ► o loaded at a t been l •Ie had n 'empty; it was en } } . rill.

When the man of the 140ir►fully pious aI►pa('arance tells us that he is so. touch absorbed in religion null be has no time to think of politics or of national affairs common sense usually allay our re- ee.nhUe11t by reminding us that he is so small a fraction of a cipher Mut religion is none the richer for a inenopwly of hire and political affair's none the }poorer for lesiug hire. No elan can be religious who neglects the w(►r•Id in which he lives or the na- tion of which he is a part. Piety is not for the closet or lite church, not for the separate places alone, but for every re- lation of human life. You cannot put your religion in a cc -impertinent by itself ; it is a spirit, an atmosphere, and a principle which must pervade all. There is a great difference between the relation whi^_h religion must hold to national life and the relation w IlIch reli- gious and ecclesiastical organizations hold. The very separation between church and state makes the more ncces- snry the deeper permeation of our whole national life with the spirit of MORALITY AND RELiGION. You cannot escape from religion in history and in human affairs. it makes no difference whatever whether the name of the deity be in the constitution of a nation or not, the fact of the reli- gious impulse anti motive remains. You might lake the mention of religious names from all history, but you cot►Id never lull the story of the life of a people if you refuse to recognize this mighty spirit. The tide in human affairs, the move- ments that Mark human progress or re- cession. these are of far greater impor- tance than names and dales, buildings end administrations. And back of these tides are mighty forces, great, nil com- pelling motives. These forces we call tradition, religion, patriotism. The true historian looks for the forces. \Ve are what we arc to -day because of deep convictions that our fathers held, because of aspirations and ideals which they cherished, because of the atmos- phere of spiritual beliefs in which they lived, and because they counted these things of such' value to them that their Imes weighed as nothing in the balance. Ideals have ever dominated the world and determined the r(-ul conditions that should be. The ideals of liberty. the c')n'eption et human rights. the conviction es to the freedom of the conscience. these till ct.istilute essentially religious prin('i- pies. They tire born of the recognition of man as other loan clay, as a brings (►1 sp.iritun1 heritages and possibilities. Men lived and died for these wily as they conceived of their high duty to humanity and of the infinite justice that is over all. No greeter folly could befog our minds to -day than to think that we (:an attain nntional prosperity and permanency AI'AIIT i'RO\I SPIRITUAL IDEALS.
