quences which in their name and in their ma

Dear friends. fear has place in your men,

to be there; because there are important ends
to be answered by it, Its province is to CO.
operate with the sense of right and duty, and
the sentiment OF love, in holding back the
soul from evil, and binding it TO the good.
These latter motives are indeed the higher.
and they should be the first and leading mo.
tives with man. But'a their milder speech
is not sufficiently needed there arises the ae-
cessity that the awful voice of fear should
sound out from the Utmost recesses of our ma

the Judge of all the earth will inflict on the
violators of his perfect law.
Salvation means purity for this pollution,
peace from trouble, good conscience in

crucifed One instead of the wrath of the
Lamb, rewarding crowns in exchange for con-
dcmnaton and sorrow.

The Pope Dead.

Pope Plus TX died in Rome last
Thursday at 3 p. m.
The Pope's family name was GLOW.
ami Maria Mastai Ferretti. he
was born May 13, 1892, in Sinagsg-
liza, Italy. He was designed to be q
soldier but proving to be by nature
not fitted for that he was educated
for the priesthood and received holy
orders at the age of 26. At 81 he
was sent to Chill, in South America.
At 35 he was made archbishop of
Spoleto, Italy. In 1889 he was made
a cardinal. After the death of Pope
Gregory 10 1916, he was proclaimed
Pope, with the title Plus TX. He
soon became popular, mainly through
his liberality in giving amnesty to
Gregory's exhiled revolutionists.
These on returning to Italy, became
more turbulent than ever, and did
what the amnestied and enthroned
rebels of tho South will do with
Hayes. They made the Pope take
Saok seat. He was driven out OF
Rome TO an island refuge. There he
remained until French army ocou-
pied Rome and re-seated the Pope
in lS49. He now became more act
i've as an ecolesiast, and paid less at
ten;ion to civil government. In
1854 he promulgated the new article
of faith--ihe Immaculate Conoep-
ton of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the
mother of Christ. In 1872 an Ecum-
enical Council gave to the Church
the dogma of Infallibility. Soon
Victor Emanuel, King of Italy took
from the Pope all temporal govern
nent over Rome. Pope Plus TX
was good man. The idea of his
infallibihty is ludicrous to the Pro-
testant aud Infidel mind but that is
because we do not look at it from
the proper stand point. The Pope
is iufallible in the church the same
as general Assembly of Presbyter-
ians OF a General Conference OF
Methodists are lnfallible. Their de.
cisions ere and ought to be final. Our
Supreme court is practically infall-
lille. The Catholics are about halt
of ali Christendom. The world as
well as Catholics will have occasion
to DO thankful if the next Pope be as
good as Plus TX.

An Early Day Joke on Major Roun-
tree and how he beat it's Per-
petrator.

Gen. Albert g. Ellis, in his "a Years.
Recollections OF Wisconsin, published
in the 7th Vol. of Historical Collec-
tions, gives some anecdotes of Ebe-
nezer. Childs, among them the follow
ing:
There was mischievous pastime which be
never could forego--that was, to have his
joke. No matter what the consequence might
be to himself, TO friend or foe, he would never
be cheated out of it. A csse IN point In
1902, he had been elected Sergeant-at-
Arms of the Legislative Council; and q part
of his duties had the police Of the rooms, at
tendance on fires, etc. The Rev. Richard 4.
Cadle was chaplain of the Council that SEES
sion, and was accustomed TO hold service
and preach in the council room on Sunday
mornings. On one of these, as the people
were assembling, Rev. Mr.. Cadle in bis seat,
Major Rountree, member Of the council, and
great respecter of religion-one of the grav-
est Of the grave-came in, and was standing
in front of the open fire place-his hands
spread out for warmth. Mischief was depicted
on Childs' face. The Major had on his swal-
low tailed coat, the corner of his large ban.
dana peering out of the skirt pocket Childs,
under pretense Of aweeping the hearth,
stepped up behind Major Rountree, and, un-
observed by him, dropped greasy pack of
cards into his pocket on top OF his handker-
chief. Mr.. Cables face blazed scarlet and
in moment or two, the Major put his hand
to his bandana, drew it out Of his poke
when the cards came futtering down, spread
ing over the hearth. Childs rushed up in
great surprise, gathered the cards, and swept
them into the fire. The expression Of Major
Rountree's countenance, turned on childs, was
admonitory. The following morning, as soon
as the journal was read in the council, Major
Rouutree, with the greatest GOODNESS, offered
a resolution dispensing with the further SER
vices of Mr. Ebenezer Childs, as Sergeant at.
Arms and fireman in the Council. ChiIds
sprang to the side of o member, his friend,
who whispered word to Major Rountree, and
the resolution was laid over Till the next day:
when this friend solicited for Chlds leave to
make an explanation This was granted, the
explanation consisting in afrank acknowledge
ment Of his wrong doing, and humbly asking
pardon of Major Rountree and of the council I;
which. being granted, the resolution was in
definitely postponed.
