The Reported Despatch Of Nodes TO
scalp Captain Jack.
IRON ouR Own coRREspoNpENT.l ]

WASHINGTON, May 29-There is no Official in
formation TO confirm the press despatch that Gem
sral Davis has sent out Shack Nasty jim and 9TH
er Modoc murderers Of General Candy to capture
and scalp Captain Jack and his squad. Army Of
cers, therefore, very generally dlscredit the tels-
gram, and declare that General Davis would not
resort 10 any such steps. Itwas only recently that
he refused an invitation from the Indians TO have
a talk with them, and it is not believed thht he
would SO soon reverse his decision and employ them
in 80 confidential capacity as is telegraphed. =
There is one fact of all others that discredits the
statement, and that is il these Indians are thus
employed by the Government they could not be
punished for their past misdeeds. Some of them
are already under indictment for crime IN the State
courts Of Oregon and California. General Davis,
frsm his long experience on the Indian frontier, is
not likely TO have quite as much confidence in the
loyalty Of the Indian as a peace commissioner.

the truth of God has had free course
and will in the end be glorifed by many
whom it has inspired and comforted, we
cannot doubt.
We have had to contend with many
opposing infuences-more than. usual
unusual depression in the regular busi-
ness of the town, for want of water-a
perfect shoal of singers show-men, ac-
tors, who have dissipatea. thought far
more than they have inspired 1.-THE
advent Of the Railroads-the horse dis
ease-an unusual amount of sickness,
Ct have attended foYteen funerals, }
together with the usual antagonism OF
selfish or careless world. Yet, by the
grace of God, we have not gone back
ward. There has been growth nu-
merical, mental, and | trust spiritual.
There have been failures. Much
more should have been done. We have
cause for confession and humiliation.
Our showing, at the close of the year,
ought to be much better, whether we
regard growth in knowledge, in num-
bers, in spiritual power. Or take look
at our finances. Our heads have been
together in regard to some things, while
our hearts have not been united.
Now, as we look forward, what shall
we say? Let US make the week of
prayer, the beginning of good things !.
Let US put our hearts together as we
plan and purpose for the church. We
are part of the grand company Of the
Saints - Of that universal church whose
names are written in heaven.

t,nuatly-(as long time as was necessa-

royalty not for time simply, but foreve,

higher than the earth, and Gods ways
greater than mans, so the heaven-given
royalty surpasses in dignity, in honor,

Let US appropriate these lessons to
ourselves.

l3 So Mephil osheth dwclt in Jerusalem for
he did eat continually at the kings table; and
was lame on both his feet.-2d Samuel, 9l3
Perhaps no man ever received more
severe and uni ust treatment from anoth-
er than David did from Saul, beginning
with the time that David first began to
gain notoriety until Saul died David,
trusting in God, realized that his faith
was we'll founded. When his plans
were not broad enough, long enough, or
deep enough, God spliced them ont by
raising up friend for David in the per
son of jonathan, Saul's son.
The hearts of Jonathan and David
were bound together by the strong ties
Of unwaycring affection. After time
Saul and three of his sons fell in battle
though in the main it was a relief for
David, especially Saul's death: yet alas,
alas! for David; his beloved Jonathan
was one of the number that fell. and
David mourned sorely. But when the
days of his mourning were ended, and
he began to bear rule, and had the con-
troll Of means and opportunity to assist
others, he sought and found Jonathan's $
son, Mephibosheth, at once summoned
him to appear in the presence of His
Majesty, ssand David said unto him,
Fear not, for | will surely show kind
ness for jonathan, for thy fathers sake,
and will restore thee all the land of Saul
thy father, and thou shalt eat bread at
my table continually.''
The poor lame boy had kindness
shown him, the remnant of his days.
Let us look at some Of the lessons
taught in this subject.
We learn the fact Of lameness. Me-
phlbosheth s lameness was caused by
fall. When he was in his infancy, his
father and grandfather were slain, and
his nurse, upon hearing the sad news,
became frightened, picked up the babe
and ran; and as she was running, let
the child fall from her shoulder and
crippled him in both his feet.
Mephibosheth's fall stands before us
this morning faint type Of the fall of
our race, in its infancy. Mephibosheth's s
foil crippled him-the fall of our race
crippled US, physically, intellectually,
and morally.
Again, the subject teaches Friendship.
David's tender compassion for the poor
lame boy, Mephibosheth, was the legit-
innate outgrowth of an abiding friend
ship for the boy father, Jonathan.
David invited Mephibosheth into his
royal presence; he clothed him, and set
table before him, and made him as
one of his own children, and gave him
an inheritance Of princely worth.
SO our Heavenly Father compassion
ates us. He has made proriston for us.
He sent out His messengers, the holy
Spirit, living ministry, royal laity,
and thousand agencies beside, to in
vite as into his Fatherly presence, that
we may receive all needful good. He
says, sit down, my children, at my ia
BILE. This implies great deal. He
says, "this day have l begotten thee"
If begotten of the father, we are then
children; and if children, then heirs
heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ
David said to Mephibosheth, eat con-
