first part Of his discourse 10 a review
Of historical facts relating ~ the Bible,
which he presented in clear and forci-
bic mander as proof Of IT. divine origin

devoted some time 10 the conclusions
drawn from those facts, and said tina,

those who accept il a. their rule and

might be easily seen by comparing the
two classes, and as with individuals 81
with nations. He claimed that the
Bible supplies constant and essential
want In mans nature, and that the
strongest argument against those who
oppose the Bible il, that they cannot
find anything 10 take its place, and the
principal cause Of the opposition to 1T
is an ignorance of its contents and its
true mission among men.

DANGEROUS AMUsEMEsT.-Bo are
PARTICULARLY fond Of any sort Of amuse-
ment that possesses the fascination Of
being little risky, and any kind of
sdgenture Possesses flavor that is par
ticularly palatable 10 their youthful
tastes. They take especial pride In as
certaining how near they can approach
imminent danger without being hurt.
We noticed an instance Of this kind yes
terday. near the Seattle and W. W. X
X. depot. Anumber Of boys collected
several logs together in the water,
placed q number Of boards across them
and then large dry goods box on top
of the whole. They then christened the
dangerous craft after certain steam
boat, chose their officers. one of whom
was To use his throat rs whistle. and
after the " whistle" they started off out
in the bay with few pieces Of boards as
paddles. When warned Of their dan
ger. they only laughed and hurried off.
This sort Of amusement is exceedingly
pcrilous, aud unless il is prohibited by
the parents Of these thoughtless boys, it
will terminate in some disaster 20 them.
