Il Baptist, comes out in favor of parOchial
schools. ''The Constitution OF the Uni
ted States he says, guarantees abSO-
lutte freedom of conscience; according
ly, to force the Bible on the nOn-Christ-
ian, or the Protestant version on the
ROmanist, or the New Testament on
the Jew, is an invasion both Of the Con-
stitutiOn and also of the rights Of con-
science. Right of conscience is not
-
cal force. So long as the Church aban-
dons to the State the work of educating
the nation the expulsion of the Bible
from our schools is only question of
time. " Therefore. he argues, the only
right way to educate the children under
religious auspices is to do it in schools
maintained by the churches.

Clarion, Pa. In August last John Blair
! disappeared mysteTiOusly. He had sold
his farm and put his household goods
upon Il raft, intending to go to Cincin-
natl by water. Several weeks after
ward his decomposed body was found in
. Piny creek. A small hole was noticed
above the right eye, but no attention
was paid to this, as ii was thought that

ing death. Last week a couple, living
at Clarion. quarreled and separated.
