HE'LL OR HOPE?
AETI-ETERSAL PUNIsHM EET,
To the Editor Of The Jribun4.


CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-1t would seem to Indicate
something more than a mere coincidence that
the discussion involved in the s.burning qucs-
tion' as to the limit or eternity Of future
punishment should be contemporaneous with
the widespread aud ever-incleasing autipatby
to what is at present generally recognized as
the extreme penalty Of human law-capital
punishment. II only a coincidence, it has been
continuous, for the more hopeful view of life
beyond the grave for all mankind has grown
aud kept pace with more merc:ful ideas Of
human Justice.
Time was, and not SO long arc, when men.
aye, and women, we're brutallv stransled, with
all the parapherna!ia OF u public execution, for
uffeuses that we now punish only with tempo
rary imprisonment,-for forgery, for highway
robbery, for burglary. Even SO recently rs the
carly part OF the present century, they we're in
England condemned to cruel aud icnomlnious
death for the most paltrr theft, forced to the
oifcnsc, perhaps By the cry Of their starving,
suffering children.
The man who, in those days, had dared to
advocate the abolition oi capital punishment io1
as mad enthusiast, a fool,-marhap indicted
for treason to the time-honored Institutions
Of his country. Such progress has the world
made in this regard, and such greater progress
will the world yet make in moderatlng this
ferocious creed OF future punishment, until the
fauatical belief in a material and ctcrnal he'll
will be forgotten, or remembered only as one

RECENT CHANGES MADE IN THE WESTERN PROV

ST. Louis Globe Democrat, pec- 10.
The Rev. z. Higgins, S. j., who, up to about
four years ago, was President Of the St. Louis
University, corner Of Ninth street and Washing
ton avenue, and who then was changed to Cincin-
natl to occupy similar position in st. Francis
Xayier's College in that city. returned here yes
terday to fill the vacancy occasioned by the call
inp away of the Rev. Thomas O'Nei|l. Father
Higgins new labors consist in seeing to the
spiritual as well as to the temporal welfare OF
the Jesuts' Western Province Of Missouri. Be-
yond this, Father Higgins, who was visited last
evening by Globe-D Democrat reporter, said it
was unnecessary for the public to know. The
change CONCERNS only himself and the Order
of which he is an officer. Several changes
have lately been made among the Jesults
stationed in the Western country, al

Order, who is forced to take up q temporary

The Mennonite ministers arc chosen by lot,
and then formally ordained BY laying on OF
hands and prayer. They conscentiously- abstain
from special preparation for any given service,
believing that as Goa has called them into the
ministry Of His Word, it will be given them
wtat to speak in his name when the time comes.
This is justified By reference to these words:
stake no thought, therefore, what ye shall
say,' ETC. The method OF choosing ministers
NAV be understood from what recently occurred
in Rockingham County, Virginia. Two minis
tcrs having died, it was believed to be Gods
will their places should be filled soon as DOS
siblc. At the call of the Bishop the entire con-
gregation met for the purpose OF proposing
suitable names. The meeting was opened with
prayer, and the first Of Acts wss read and com
mented upon. Then followed 4 season OF
silence, during which time each person was
counselled to heed the promptings of the Spirit,
and to announce whatever name any ons might
feel constrained to regard as person fit to
minister in holy things. Sixteen brethren were
nominated, as was believed, by the suggestion Of
the Spirit. A week was allowed the nominees to
time their minds were to lie settled as
to whether they would allow their names
to be put into the lot on the following Sabbath.
