U. b. CHURCH HISTORY.

On the last two Sabbath evenings,
Rev. r. Rock delivered lectures in his
own church on the history and pOlity OF
the United Brethren Church. In the
course of his last lecture he said:
"The Church of the United Brethren
| in Christ was founded by the very
learned Phillip William Otterbein,
in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, May
4th, IVA. Otterbein was born in Dillen-
burg, Germany, June 4th, 1926. He was
at first a member of the Reformed
Church, but left it on account of the
| laXity of discipline and the low state of
religion in that church. The growth of
the church was slow for the first fifty
years of it's history, being confined for
| this period to few districts in the
States of Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Virginia" Speaking of the obstacles to
her more rapid growth, the speaker said:
while the principal populations of the
country were English speaking, the
work of the church was confined to the
Germans until 1925, when the church
had her first English preachers. The
church always stood undivided in her
opposition to slavery, and long before
the war inserted in her book of dis
cipline a prOhibitOry law, fOrbidding
the buying or holding of slaves. She
was right before and has been since the
war on this question. When the war
was over and the slave declared free,
this church did not need to change her
base, as some others did, to adapt herself
to popular favor. This opposition kept
her out of the southern States until the
war was past. In 1774 the church had
one congregation; now she numbers
nearly 5000. Then she was confined to
Baltimore; now she is only hemmed in
by the Atlantic on the east, the great
lakes on the north, and has conferences
in several of the Southern States. She
has 10000 members in Ohio, and not less
than 5000 in the counties of Stark and
Wayne. In 1920, the church numbered
about 5000 members, ia preachers and
36 itinerants. Among the great family
of Christian denominations, she is
seventh in size, having at the close of
1881 over 1900 preachers, AZ conferences
and about 10000 members. In 1847,
Otterbein University her first educa-
Gated at Westerville, Ohio. Now she
has seventeen institutions of learning,
one of which nestles among the golden
sands of the Pacific and is seven miles
nearer the setting of the sun than any
other educational institution on the
continent. She supports tiOurishing
missions in Canada, Germany and
Africa. Germany gave US our Otterbein
and we are helping to give Germany the
Gospel. We now have five bishops. She
was the first church in America to legis-
late against the sin and course of in
temper ance, and she has the honor of
only being secured to anybody, civil or
ecclesiastical, in protesting, in legal
way against this evil, Her government
is Republican, none holding Office but by
the vote of a majority of his peers. None
of the leaven of episcepacy or papacy
remains in her government, while she
holds conversion of the heart to be the
essential condition of church member

A Snake story.

Underhill, the snake man, had an anti
dote for snake bites. He liberated a
monster rattlesnake from bag into pit.
The snake struck two chickens. Undert
hill poured little OF his antidote on the
wound of one OF the fowls, which recov-
cred, but the other died. He made the
antidote test successful score of times.
His snakes were his death at last, how
ever. On one OF his drunken sprees he
turned them all out in room and be-
haved so madly, throwing them around
that no one dared enter. In the morning,
hearing no one stir, and unable to rouse
him by calling, the door was broken
open and he was found dead, with one
Of the largest of his carpet snakes be-
meath his shoulders, as he lay on his back
on the floor, the marks Of numel GUS
wounds from the reptiles fangs on his
face and neck. He had probably fallen
across the snake (which was dead when
they were both discovered) at about mid
night, that being the time when he was
last heard to move.-Penny Press.

There has been a good deal of skirmish-
ing among our Republican friends for
thunder for their platform in the Con-
vention which takes place here tomorrow.
An animated conversation, carried on in
q heated undertone between two of their
big guns, was overheard by quid nunc
yesterday at one OF the principal hotels.
One Of them, it seems, at a late hour had
come to the conclusion that to make him
self solid he would introduce q resolution
against all subsidies for the building of
railroads in the county. 'If anybody
wants q railroad and thinks he can make
money out of it let him put up the money
on the proposition himself" said he.
''That's so," said the other; ''but you
can't introduce that resolution. I've had
that cut and dried for the last three weeks.
You can't steal my thunder in any such
cheap way as that" The man who has
the thunder ready for use is Col. j. N.
Robinson. The others name we shall not
mention.

Splendid Shooting.

Two passengers up to Battle Mountain
on the East-bound train from Humboldt
Sink on Sunday, T. W. Dunn Of the Austin
& Battle Mountain Railroad and A.. j.
Wright, County Treasurer of Lander, were
returning from q hunting trip Of three
days, during which they killed 500 ducks,
mostly mallards and teals. They report
that the shooting at the Sink is something
wonderful. Thesdueks swarm in myrlads,
as though they had deserted all their other
resorts and agreed to congregate there in
a mass. The hunters shot and piled up
the magnificent game until the sport
seemed to be entitled to that name and to
be no higher appellation than that OF
slaughter. The ducks, they say, are fat
and delicious.
