Prohibition i'm Kansas.

The new prohibition law of Kansas
is meeting with the strongest opposi.
tion from a quarter whence trouble was
probably least expected. The law
absolutely forbids the use Of wine in
the sacrament, Furnishing the minis
ter who so administers the sacrament
with two years Imprisonment in the
Penitentiary, and shutting up the
church itself as public nuisance,
according to the Interpretation of the
Rev. DIR. Beatty, Rector of the Epis-
copal Church at Lawrence. Last Sun
day that clergyman administered the
sacrament as usual, regardless of the
consequences, having previously an
nounced to the congregation his deter.
mination 80 to do. He said: eve
are willing to render unto Caesar the
things which are Caesars, but we will
still give to God the things that are
His. I say, as did Peter, Judge ye
whether we should obey men rather
than God OF one thing you may be
assured we shall never recognize for a
moment the attempts of human legis.
lation to destroy the great sacraments
Of the Christian Church" 1t is pro.
bable that the Rev. DR.. Beatty's
action will be initiated by other clergy.
men, and the result is hard to predict.
1t will be argued that the state cannot
permit the prohibition law to be
openly violated by clergymen without
arousing storm OF opposition from
those to whom it's enforcement is a
pecuRiary loss, and on the other hand,
that to consign the Rev. DR.. Beatty to
prison and close his church as a nuis-
ance would place sharp weapon in
the hands of those who want to see
the new law hewn down, root and

THE COMXNG SPRING.

The wind has blown the last year, 8 leaves
From off the primrose head;
The lilac-shoot its prison cleaves;
The elm-tree tips are red.
And all about, though trees are bare,
And covert none to sing,
The black bird heralds everywhere
The coming of the spring.
Sing on sweet bird, for yon have faith
To trust all darkness is not death!
The spring has signs to show her nigh
And bid the world prepare;
Has joy no herald, or must
Look for no future fair?
My heart seems barren as a world
Where spring comes never more;
No leaf shows from its sheath uncurlcd;
No birds their raptures pour.
Yet faithless heart, believing be-
The spring must come again for thee
