Turning the Tables.

A good many years ago when En-
poria was less populous and not near SO
famous as she is to-day, an incideS4
something like this occurred: Judge
Ray, as we will call him here, got out of
patience one day with young, but pop
ular and witty lawyer named Gates, for
doing as was frequently his custom,
namely getting drunk and coming into
court TO transact business while in that
state, and ordered him under arrest TO
stand committed until he should pay a
fine of twenty five dollars and costs.
This greatly enraged the lawyer, and he
resolved TO get with the judge, and
before the close of that day an oppor-
tunity offered.
A case came up in which the judge
himself was interested and it became nee
cssary to call some on else TO the. bench.
Gates was a prime fAvorite with all
members of the bar, notwithstanding his
dissipated habits, and with one voice
they decided he should occupy the
bench.
After busying himself for some time
at the table in front of the judges stand
pending delay occasionei by the un-
readiness OF the opposing counsel. the
old judge whispered something to q
lawyer friend who sat near, and present
" the two lefl the court room together
and entered a saloon just across the
street, drank few glasses of beer to
gether, chatted and played a game oil
two of cards.
Judge Gates witnessed the Who'll,
proceeding from the window az hi
right.
When the banquet was over the law
yer went TO his Office, and the judge re
: turned 10 the court room. As soJn a
he got inside of the railing, Gates spokl
up in a clear. dignified tone: "Judg
Ray will consider himself under arres
n for contempt of court, to stand commits
ted until he pays fine of fifty dollar
and costs
j For a moment the court room ran
: with applause, and the old judge forke
over his fine like any other crimina
and while he could not grin much hiu
g self, was not disposed to get angry, f
i he considered it altogether too e sod
! joke. Gates proved to be an impartii
judge. and the old barrister won b

DIR. Cordley led in prayer.
After some general conversation r. L.
Lott read paper on "The Tabernacle
of David" Amos TX, II. lie took the
position that David built real taber-
neclc on Mt. Zion, in which ne placed
the ark IN the presence of the people
and prepared system OF worship more
in harmony with the wants OF the pea-
pie; that he appointed ministers to con-
duct the services who were not priests
but Levites; that the services consisted
of preaching, singing and other things
Of like character.
That the worship Of this tabernacle,
| and not that of the temple, isthe type OF
the worship of the church oil Christ
That as there were no special priests
with pre-eminent means of access 10
God in this tabernacle, So there Is none
| Ia the Christian church. That this
prophecy looked la the establishing of
the church Of Christ as shown IN the
! fifteenth chapter of Acts, and as the rit-
ual law, circumcision and sacrifice, had
no place in this tabernacle, go have they
no place in the church of Christ This
explains why the temple was allowed 10
stand for the first forty yearsof tie ex-
| istance OF the church. SO that simpie
system OF worship might be establish
ed in opposition 10 the priest!y Worship
of the temple.
Finally, that throughout those parts
of the Bible written after the establish
ment of the Tabernacle of David. on
Mount Zion, that Zion became the cen
tire of religious interest of the Hebrew
people.
