A CORRECTION.

EDITOR ADVANCE: My attention
has just been called to an item in your
issue OF Oct. 81, under the title of
"Broad: Gauge Churches which l
think may lead some Of your readers
into AL erroneous conclusion, and know
ing your Willingness to ascertain and
advocate only what is true, l ask space
in your paper for this statement.
You say, AT Alliance, Ohio, recently,
the Free Church was established. 1t
was founded some years ago by Alex
ander Campbell himself rs !. Disciples
Church and il fine college building
erected there. But the church becom-
ing free and liberal, the college was
abandoned as u denominational insti-
tuition and the church was changed in.
to i br0atl-gauge church."
do not know from what source you
obtained your information but am GER
tain it is incorrect. About two years
ago r. G.. Fowler was employed to
preach for the Christian Church in AL
lance, o., and soon lis brOad-gauge
doctrines and practice became evident
to the church and his services undesi-
rable. He then withdrew from tire
chulch and organized 4 faotim. The
old church is in i prosperous condition,
and still holds to the Bible alone rs Il
sufficient guide in faith and practice.
Alexander Campbell founded BetI,a-
ny College which is still in i prosper

failed because of financial trouble.

In the beginning, we empI,atically

the cider contained liq:or we do deny,

liquor INTO tie cider we sell and we
buy and have always ordered tie Lest
Michigan cider and all packages are so

He may have bought the citler and

course are not responsible in such a

They feel themselves wronge.l by
some outsider getting half 4 pint Of
whisky from another outsider, thereby
keeping the plice of that whisky out OF
their pockets. They will grant no H.
cense for the simple reason that they
sell from their drug stores without one.
am 81 re there was us much evidence
to lndict DR.. Barber us there was to in
DICT us, but he was Il ring man and as
such was held sacred. My authority
for this state nent is derived from one
OF the witnesses whose testimony was
mentioned III your last issue in Mr..
Parsons letter.
It this is the way the law is to he en-
forced, it is worse than granting license,
for license would yield revenue and
help to pay county expenses instead of
increasing them. The last Grand Ju-
ry, for what little they done, cost the
county over $500 and the expense is not
done yet.
Some say tire liquor law is what is
wanted to make a community prosper

You will fail to have enough placed to
your credit to substanti;te that which
you claim to lie the best for Il prosper
otls and growing community.
Moreover, we are not allo we'd to at
teiid religious services held in the same
building: Now, I say this is depriving
us Of privilege granted the greatest
criminal and making our offence worse
than murder. If this is the way laws
are to be enforced, it would be better
to give the community over to drink
ing.
do not wish our many friends or
our few enemies to think from this
that we are Gagged up here in want of

good and clean, and my Jail mates joi,.

PRESBYTERIAN BIaOTRY.-The gen.
eral Presbyterian Assembly has signal
lied itself by an act of bigotry which
must cause the very many able and lib
eral clergymen of that denomination to
blush for shame at it's action. The
case is briefly this: Some two wears
since Rev. Mr.. Isaac NJ. Lee. pastor of
the Presbyterian Church at Newark.
n. J., permitted a lady temperance lee,
tMrer to give lecture from his pulpit.
This gave offence to some of the pious
ones of his flock, and they preferred
charges against him ut the meeting of
the Synod of New Jersey, and by this
august body Mr.. Lee was reprimanded
and condemned. The pastor then ap-
pealed from the decision of the Synod
to the Supreme Court of the Church.
which IS the General Assembly. and
this august ecclesiastical body confirm.
ed the decision of the Synod, and the
pastor who permitted his pulpit, to he
prOfaned by a noble w0man's lecture
against one of the greatest evils of the
age, stands disgraced. Manifestlv

LINCOLN'S ASSASSINATION FORE
TOLD

Thomas Lister, the astrologer, who
for many years was familiar to the
people Of the West End (this city,
where lie lived, died 4 few days since
i'll his modest residence, No. sos West
Twenty third street, New York city.
His death recalls one Of the greatest
prophecies ever made-gleat because of
the terrible event it foresllaLowed, and
which came true. Those who remem
Der him will recollect that in the fall
of 1864, he prophecied the time when
the civil struggle, which was then tax.
ing place, would end, and also the pres
ident's assassination. His prophecy
was fully contained in Il communica-
tion to the Herald, written and sign
ed by him on Sept. 20, 1864. The same
was published in the Sunday Herald OF
Oct. 2nd. the same year, and from it
we copy the following extract relating
to the death of the president.
Persons born under Jupiter are ev-
er destined to be fortunate. We believe
that the finger of God points to Abraham
Lincoln rs the right man III the right
place to put down this wicked rebellion;
and, further, we believe that he will be
elected ut the coming election on the Sth
Of November next, from the fact that
Jupiter, his ruling planet, will he transi-
ting over his ascendant in his owl,
house, astr0lOgic;llly speaking. The
transit of the evil planet Mars. in oppo-
sitiOn to his ascendant plainly shows
that the struggle will last until the
month of April, 1865, about which tine
the foes to the union cause will le COM
PEELED to lay down their arns. In De-
cember of '64, and again in January '65,
some base plot will he got up against
the person of the president, shown by
the transit of Mars; and that planet
shows danger by pistol shot, or by some
Internal machine. During these months
more than ordinary caution and watch.
fulness are highly necessary. After
February that evil transit will have
passed away. We could increase our
remarks in regard to the personal dam
ger, but believe that forbearahce in
this case would be q virtue"
The fulfllment of the prophecy is
now Il matter of history. Lister was Il
venerable-looking, white-haired man.
63 years old, who pretended always to
follow the strict rules of tile ''celestial
SCIENCE" as handed down by the old
writer's on the subject. He had Il H.
brary of about 200 books, three-q quar-
ters Of them of Il miscellaneous clarac-
ter. The remainder constitutes what
might be called working astrological
library. Among the bodks is 4 well
preserved copy of ''Angeli Opus AS
trolabli, published in Germany in 1883.
It is in Latin, and contains numerous
astrological tables and horoscopes.
The latter were colored in red. blue
and green, after the presswork was
done. Lister paid $500 to Christian
Hansen, Of Cambridge, Mass, in 1863,
for a translation into Eeglish. This
translation in manuscript is also in the
library.-Boston Herald.

In the new churches. or rather relig-

women, il anything, have the prefer

however, refuse to recognize them, es-

pulpits. But this. must soon change.
Women will soon be tlocking to the
new churches which allow them equal

left without support.

FOR7YSIXTH CONGRESS-


In the elections held previous to No.
vember, the Republicans had lost elev-
en- members Of Congress. The Repub-
licans, at the recent election, made
enough to offset this III part. To sum
up the result to date, the Republicans
ln,ve lost six members, so that the op-
position majority Of 10 in the present
Congress will be increased to 81 or
more in the next.
The Senate after the Vth of March
will stand probably as follows: Repub-
lican, 81; Democrats, 4S; Independent,
l; Doubtful, l.
The House will stand: Republicans,
127; Democrats, 155; National Green
hackers, :; Oth:is, 1.
50 that the opposition to the straight
Republicans in tile Forty Sixth Con-
gress will be in the neighborhood of so.
MOWER COUNTY:
At the Recent election in Mower
county the OH County Ring was whip
ped. An anti-Ring Auditor and Reg
lister Of Deeds were elected and Neigh
ems majority was over POO. Tie Re-
Publican compliments the young men
especially on their independence in
refusing to he controlled by the Ring.
This, we suppose, will be called Il tri.
umrh for the Page party, but it is re-
ally the protest of &''e people against
Ringism and partizan injustice. One
of the things done by the Ring was to
take control of the Congregational
Church and have the editor of the Re-
publican suspended for daring to op-
pose Ringism and corruption. We
suppose the young men Of Austin who
worked so zealously to defeat the Ring
will keep clear of the Congregational
Church What shame that the churcl,
should be controlled not only by relis-
ious bigots but by politicians!
THE NATIONALS.
The Nationals made respectable
showing at the recent election. So far
as we can learn, their successes are
about as follows:
Minnesota-Three members elected
to the State Senate and or 5 to the
House.
Wisconsin-A very strong vote poll
ell all dyer the State.
New York-T2ree members elected
to the Assembly.
Observation-Disclosures elected to
Congress from the Sixth District.
Illinois elected to Con.
gress from the 11th District.
Missouri-Ford elected to Congress
from the Ninth District by 1,50O ma.
jority. Member of Senate elected from

Geo. G. Kimble, probate Judge of
Morrison county, was shot few days
ago by A. J. Clark, editor OF the Nor.
rison County Banner. It seems that
Clark had opposed the reelection of
Kimble and had referred to him in the
Banner as drunkard and vagabond.
Kimble met Clark on the street and
choked him. Clark went and armed
himself and Kimble followed Clark
home trying to cut him with u knife.
When Clark arrived ut home he turn
ed and shot Kinble, who will probably
die.
How foolish this is. Why didn't
they settle it rs the editor of the AD-
VINCE and the Probate Judge of Mobiles
county did, viz: have 4 fraternal hug
and a lively ''scrimmage" in the street,
in which nobody got seriously hurt?
Then follow it up by :. complaint to
the church and plaster up the sores Of
the Probate Judge. by patting him on
the back and forming Il political ring
in the church to rebuke the editor.
That's the way things are done in Wor-
thington.
Still, if the Probate Judge had fol-
lowed us with knife and we had had
pistol, we think we might have struck
him with the butt end of it at least. 1t
won't do for Office seekers to press edi-
tors too hard, us poor Kimble realizes
by this time.

Il SCHOOL, JfE1DDLE

The Catholics and Protestants in
New Haven, Conn.,, recently pooled
their votes OF the school question and
beat the friends of secular schools on
the question of having worship in the
public schools. A form of worship. or
liturgy, has been prepared on tie COM
promise plan. The Protestants have
something like the Episcopal service
and the Catholics have something like
their own with prayers to the Virgin
Mary. So the Protestant children will
have to respond "1Iail Holy Mother,
pray for us'' if this liturgy is introduce
cd.
But the Jews have already come for
wa'( and claimed a right to represent
t't'on III the liturgy as they have three
hundred children III the schools. Next,
we suppose, the Free Thinkers will
step forward and ask for a hearing al
50 and, after u while, the Chinese will
begin to send their children and will
ask il hearing also.
After all are represented it will he
interesting to attend the services at
the Observation-Disclosures Chi
nese-Imiilel school of New Haven.
The services will begin something
like this:
Teacher-Maker of all things, Judge
OF all men. hear us.
Protestant Child Responds-IIave
mercy on us for Christ's sake.
Catholic Child Responsibility Moth.
er Mary, pray for us.
Jewish Response-Jelovahh hear and
pity Israel.
Chinese. Response-O Josh, hearee
pOoree Chinaman.
Free Thinkers Response-Eternal
Principle of Nature. we worship Thee.
by this time, il the visitor does not
see how foolish it is to insist upon re-
ligioMs services III the public schools.
which are supported by people of ali
shades Of religious belief, then we are
very much mistaken. a simple prayer
offered by the teacher, no one could OBJ
.ject to, but to attempt to introduce q
form Of worship or to insist on tile
reatling Of amy book which teaches a
particular religious faith, is the height
of folly, and the American people will
soon see it and make the schools what
&tllCy ought to b". secular. .-'* @.1..~y,
