Two Little Girls SmOthered in a Trunk.

One of the most awful calamities ever
recorded is that of the death of the two
daughters of Mrs. Amelia Moench, first
assistant teacher of German in st.
Louis school, by being suffocated in q
trunk. The little girls have for year
past been with their father ON farm
four miles from Dixon, Mo-, one hundred
and thirty-eight miles from st. Louis.
Mrs. Moench spends her vacations on
the farm, and was prepared to go to her
husband and children Immediately upon
the close of school. Mr.. Moench had
gone to Dixon, and his little girls called
cheerfully after him to hurry back, and
if he wrote to their mamma to send Their
love. On his return he was surprised
not to see them awaiting him. He call :.
ed but received no answer. He went
into the house and saw the tray of The
trunk setting on the floor. A horrible'
fear flashed on his mind. He openea
the trunk and found the two little girla'

was still warm and limp. Not neigh

dashed cold water on the children, then
rubbed them with vinegar, and made
every effort to restore animation, labor
ing until after twelve o'clock, but ia
vain. He then gave up in despair, and
went to seek help from a neighbor. The
little girls were aged eight and five year
respectively.

Tn. Jewish op,n,on ofue,,.


The Rev. Isaac Schwab, of the
Jewish Congregation Beth Elohim,
Williamsburgh, said Ton Saturday.
that the terms from which Chris
tlans derived their paradise and
hell arose during the fierce contrO-
versies between Sadduces and Phar-
iseos before the Christian era. The
mighty reaction that had taken
place In the jewish mind through
the influence of the Greek phil0-
sophy led their thinkers to ponder
on the higher problems of life, and
to try to solve them by philosophi-
cal reasoning. One OF these was
the apparent injustice OF God in
dealing with the righteous and the
wicked on this earth, and the Phar-
isses stepped in with the theory
that divine rewards and punish
ments were not confined to earthly
existsnce, but extended into the
life to come. The controversy was
kept up for over three hun
bred years, and the longer
1t was continued the fiercer it be-
came, until the Pharisees materi-
allied their doctrine by giving
names and signing places to re-
wards and punishments after death.
The place of reward they called
Paradise, the Garden of Eden, after
sfhe known beautiful resort Of the
first pair; and that Of punishment
they called Gshinnon (Gehanna).
This Gehinnon was formerly fer
tile valley near Jerusalem, where
1t various times Israelitish chill
dren had been sacrificed to the idol
Neloch. 1t was for this reason in
after ages held to be q most abom-
Unable spot, and In looking out for
. name for the place of divine pun
ishment after death this one sug.
gested itself to the Jewish theolo-
CLANS a. the fittest. The Jewish
doctrine OF rewards and punish
ments, thus materialized, could
never aftsrward attain the title or
dignity Of an article of faith. That
Christianity adopted it is not sur
prising, IS its first propagators
we're apostate Jews, and their
minds were naturally infused
with the religious motions current
at that time. But what strikes us
with surprise Is that at the present
time some dlvines uphold the anti
quated doctrine of a material Para
disc and = hell OF fire-a doctrine
that was only an offshoot of the
fatal controversies between the
6adducees and the Pharisess of old
and can derive no authority what
ever from any OF the twenty-four
books Of the Bible. The Jew can
get along and be saved with the
belief in Gods power to bestow
life and to retain and return It at
His will; that He is just and will
punish and reward as each deserves;
but "ths secret things belong to the
Lord our God, but those things
which are revealed belong unto us
and to our children forever, that
We may do all the works of the
law."-M Y Sun.
