let the Church people know that the cars are
coming by their dwellings, in order that they
may be at church at the opening services.

expressly for Sunday travel, with proper books,
kneeling cushions, etc, that we may continue
our devotions from our churches to our homes.

BAD GRAMMAR,

We see by late number of the Sacramento
Times that divorce suit is pending in the Sixth
District Court of that city, by Mary Jane Gram
mar against her husband, Joseph Grammar
There must be bad Grammar here. 1t seems
wrong that the feminine Grammer having formed
a conjunction with the male Grammar, should
thus decline it. Perhaps Mary Jane Grammar's
moods may have caused unhappiness by their
being too imperative sometimes, and at other
times indioatiUe of coming storm; or again,
the Parts of Speech may nave been excessively
developed in the feminine Grammar; or, on the
other hand, Joseph may have been an o6iectip,
case. We are not much acquainted with Gram
mar, yet we hope "NIary will agree with Joseph y
grammatically speaking, and that Mary Jane
on demanding a decree OF divorce, will lind tina
the judge won't ''parse it,

comfortable and attractive as one has tho

heart can grow to. and will cling around
moro md more firmly with each passing
year. The owner should desire and
purpose to keep possession Of it as long

up feeling that there was one place hxed
and stable for them amid all changes.
Americans arc altogether too rowing

The spirit that declined to give its atten-

Justice, mercy: and truth.
/ To say that tho church in doing as

i,s traditional. usage. that its convention
was ecclesiastical purely, and could only
