BAPTIST.

Rev. Merriam preached his first ser.
mon To a Mankato audience last Sunday,
from First Corinthians, 1873. That
Christ died for our sins, ETC." His intro
ductory remarks were: Note the paro-
dox, the death of the sinless and perfect
one, set forth as glad news !; the gospel
and good tidings. He illustrated the

would call it good news and glad It'd.
ings if our stricken President should die
from the assassin's bullet. Every heart
mourncd over the death of the brave
men who gave their lives for the main
tcnance of the Union. Yet out OF tho
death of those noble men came life-the
life OF the Nation. Every Union vic
tory was hailed with delight rs good
news, although every such victory neces-
STATED and involved the death and
wounding and awful suffering OF humid
reds and thousands of those noble men.
So, the death of Christ for our sins,
while it was an occasion for the deepest
aud tcnderest sorrow, is the ground tor
our highest joy, and may we'll be called
good news !: lst-it was u victorious

Church Notes.

At the Methodist church last Sabbath,
n goodly assemblage convened to listen
to their regular pastor, Rev. Charles w.
Savidge, who has been enjoying Il va
cation in the East for a month. The
pastors text was taken from Joshua
2:1. "Go view the Land" His intro.
duction was nm explanation of the Cir
cumstanccs under which the text was
spoken. He had been literally obey
ing these words of Joshua within the
month he was absent, and fully believed
that seeing is the best means of know
ing. The speaker said that in obey
ing the words of the text he had re-
ccived valuable lessons of our cOuntry's
greatness IN his passage from one State
to another; of its remarkable growth
and expanding limits. He had viewed
with establishment its richness, in the
magnificent structures of iron, stone and
wood, its wonderful ~mechanisms, its
gigantic manufactures and other evil
dences of wealth upon every hand,
He wal made glad at the beauty Of the
landscape through which he passed
where nature, adorned by art, surpassed
the Imagination. But, viewing all thest
things which are pleasing to the eye
and taste, he also observed something
Of the country's SIN, and frequently
caught glimpsss of the nations piety
The speaker further remarked that by
obeying the spiritual meaning Of thu
text, the soul is greatly benefited
Heaven, like our country, is large, it
limits are boundlcss; it is also rich
beautiful and holy.

joke on One of Our Ministers.

One of the ministers of this city was
the victim of rather u despicable joke or
theft last "Wednesday evening, which
he appreciates to the fullest extent.
Upon the evening in question, while he
WAS snugly ensconced in his library,
clad in dressing gown and slippers,
meditating upon the next Sabbath's
sermon and listening to the patter of
the rain against the window blinds, he
was aroused by a rap at the door. Open
ing the same he was met with the
question "What do you charge for
coupling Il pair of congenial spirits"
The Minister modcstly declined naming
a price for his services, and observing
that the gentleman WAS well dressed
asked him in, thinking OF course that
tho fee would accord with the persons
attire. The parties presented their GER
tiiicatc and were duly made one, when
the bridegroom asked tho Minister the
loan of an umbrella to shelter his fair
bride to the Clifton House where they
had quarters, remarkiug he would re-
turn it in the morning. The Minister,
possessing all the generous character
istics of his brethren, picked out the
best silk umbrella and rendered its Use.
The newly made bridegroom then pre-
sented the Minister with Il fee Of $3.50
and departed. Next morning the UNI
brella not appearing, the loaner strollcd
around to the Clifton House and asked
for the parties of the first part, but
learned that no such individuals stopped
there. He returned home, soliloquizing
upon the ways that are dark and the
fee OF $3.50, which was just 80 cents
more than a new umbrella would cost!

We fear that the credulity Of the
editor of the Rerie,o, has been imposed
upon, when he made the assertion that
the Sioux City land department intended
to rob settlers, who had settled OF their
lands Of their homes, because they failed
to pay their delinquent taxes.
Mr.. j. IL. Drake, Land Commissioner
distinctly says in the Pioneer Press Of
yesterday:
When he 1.-THE editor of the RepieW)
can point o a single act OF injustice in
the many years of the dealing OF the
Sioux City land department with the
farmers of southwestern Minnesota, he
will have some cause to impugn the
good faith of our action in making a
| wholesale cancellation of contracts de-
linquent in taxes. The cancellation has
been indiscriminate because the number
is so very great and they are so widely
separate, and the time for adjustment

Farmers Alliance.

The farmers of Cottonwood county
have organized a Farmers Alliance and
elected Il Board of officers. Their OBJ
ject is to obtain many advantages by
co cooperation which they could not
otherwise obtain, and believing that lin
union is strength" they propose to see
what truth there is in that old motto.
The objects OF the association are to
enable the farmers by united effort, to
protect themselves against hostile legis-
~lation, resist further encroachments OF
the great railroad combinations, and to
endcavor to place the railroads under
the control of the United States govern
ment as the most practical way Of end
ing The determinations, and rings
within rings, that are robbing the pro
ducers and shippers Of the country in
the interest of Il few men /; to secure q
more equitable assessment OF taxes sc
that each property owner will be com
PEELED to pay according to the protec'
ton that his property requires to work
for the elevation of agriculture by the
mental, moral and social improvement
of its members, which can best b,

spection and trial adopt a more rational
system Of tillage-one guided by the
exercise of more brains, and thereby
receive a return commensurate with the
capital, brain and muscle employed in
its production.
All Of the above essentials We heartily
approve, and have always advocated
that a body of farmers in the same
ncighborhood should frequently meet
together and discuss those questions
which specially pertain to their calling
because the ideas of several are always
better than the ideas of one. The cifcc
of such frequent gatherings of farmer'
would prove very salutary. 1t would
be the means of making themselve
more intelligent, thoughtful and success
full farmers, and bette citizens.

The public schools opened with a full
attendance on Monday morning, and in
spite of the severe rain, numerous acces-
sions have been received each day thus
far this week.
The Board of Education, in adopting
new books, has not required a single
class to purchase a new one, except
when needed on account of the promo
tions which took place ut the close of
last year. Such pupils as have needed
new books, would have been obliged to
supply themselves had no adoption been
made, and now have the benefit of the
reduction in prices lately obtained by
the Board of Education.
Citizens Of Mankato ! You are cOrdi
ally invited to visit the public schools
and inspect the work being dons il

them, and see how you like them.
