WASHINGTON'S BRAVERY.
The Courage He Displayed In the battle
of Princeton.
Cornwallis had left all hie stores at
Brunswick and three regiments of foot
and three companies of borse at Princeton.
'lhltber then Washington was marching
that winter night. He meant to strike his
superior enemy another blow at a weak
point. By daybreak he was near Princeton
and moved with the main army straight
for the town. Mercer was dataolied with
800 men to destroy the bridge which gave
the most direct connection with Cornwal-
lis. The otdenty bad started at sunrise, and
one regiment was already over the bridge
when they saw the Americans. Colonel
Maw'hood at once recrossed the bridge,
and both Americans and English madefor
some high - comttianding giounThe
Americans reached the desired po n'tfirst,
and a sharp fight ensued. The American
rifles did great execution, but without
bayonets•they could not stand a charge.
Mercer was mortally wounded, and his
[nen began to retreat. As Mawbood ad-
vanced be came upon the main American
ariny, marching rapidly to the scene of
action. The new Pennsylvania militia in
the van wavered under the British fire and
began to give way. Washington, forget-
ting, as be wits too apt to do, hi's position,
his importance and everything but the
fight, rode rapidly to the front, reined his
horse within 30 yards of the enemy and
Balled to his men to stand firm. The we-
voring coased, the Americans advanced,
the iii itish halted and then gave way.
The Seventeenth regiment was body cut
Up, broken and dispersed. The other two
lied into the town, made a brief stand,
gnve way again and were driven in rout to
Brunswick. Washington broke down the
bridges and, leaving Cornwallis, who bad
discovered that he had been outgeneraled,
to gaze at him from the other stile of the
Millstone and of Stony brook, moved off
to Somerset Court House, where he stopped
to rest his men, who bad been marching
and fighting for 18 hours. It was too late

the work was done.—"Tho Story of the

OBSERVANCE OF EASTER.
Che Discrepancy In Computing the Date
Was Not Corrected Until 1752.
The observance Of Blaster dates back to
lbout tho year 68, at which time thern was
Duch contention among the eastern and
western churches as to what day the festi-
val should be observed. It was finally or-
iained ant the council of Nice in the year
325 that it must be observed throughout
.he Christian world on the same day. This
lecision settled that Baster should be kept i
ipon the Sunday first after the fourteenth
lay of the first .lowish month, but no gen-
�ral conclusion was arrived at as to the
:ycle by which the festival was to be regu-
ated, and some churches adopted one rule
incl some another. This diversity of usage
Yes put all end to, and the Roman rule
naking Easter tho first Sunday after the
'uurtoouth day of the calendar moon was
established In England in 660. After nine
centuries a discrepancy in, the keeping of
Caster was caused by the authorities of the

iruiation of the Gregorian calendar in

he bless the soul. The loss of this ele-
luent is the death of Many it soci2ty.
It may be of interest to Endeavorers
to know that Andrew Murray, already
famous for las spiritual books on pray-
er, bas lust published a most interest-
ing and inspiring book, "The Ministry
of Illtervension." It may be got of
any bookseller. And a reading of it
may bring many a one into the joy and
liberty and witifare of the Christian
life anew. How true are the words of
James Montgomery: "Iteslraiuingdan-
ger we cease to fight. Prayer snakes
the Christian's armor light and Satan
trembles when he sees the weakest
wan upon his knees.'
DO WE KEEP THE PLEDGE
We all take it, but do we keep it?
I fear- that it is generally very poorly
observed. The pledge exists in ;it
least three distinct forms, and t he Iat-
est is the most elaborate. It is there
loaded down to the water's edge; late-
ly I asked an Endeavorev it all the
menibers of his'societ.y kept the part
beating on the wid-week prayer meet -
Ing, and he said that is not in our
pledge and he [vas glad of it.. I would
he glad to get a postal card from the
Secretary of every society just saying
in a line how the pledge is kept. Now
send in your cards at once and I will
tell the result. -
WORK,
esult-WORK FOR TILE PLEBISCITE
When the last plebiscite was taken
our C. E. Societies were among the
best means procurable for the distribu-
tion of literature. Toronto wnd cities
were divided and the divisions given
to couples of Endeavorers to call 'at
every hunse with leaflets and tracts
giving actinre wnd trustworthy facts
anent the traffic in strong drink. It is
one of the best things to do.
THE ENDEAVOR SOCIETY IS PART, OF
TIJQ CHURCH
It lives by the church, in the church,
for the church. It is altogether for
Christ and the church. And this En-
deavorers ought to make plain by ev-
ery means; by letting the church be
first, by working frit• it's growth, it's
power, it's pui ity; by showing a love
for it and a high regard for it; by co-
operating with the.minister,theelders,
managers and those in authority. In
Canada we trust that this relation
will never be questioned.
NOTES.—Our Provincial Secretary is
conducting a C. E. column in "The
Templar," of Hamilton, and is calling
out for•'news; will yott not send a few
jottings from your societies? A post,-
al
ost:al crud sent with, an interesting item
will be gratefully received. What of
feet shall the war have on Nashville
Convention ? Our Endeavorers should
pray I hat since war has come that it ,
may not be prolonged.
