In Spite OF the Clothes.

Rev. DR.. Milburn tells the following
Of the late Bishop Bascom of the M. L.
Church.
Mr.. Bascom was as attractive in ger.
son as he was remarkable for e]oquence.
Dressed in garments more modern in cut
than usually worn by Methodist preach
ers, his attire combined with his hand
some figure and graceful carriage made
against him in the mind of his brethren
who doubted whether he were worthy to
be admitted to the ordained ministry.
DR.. Milburn proceeds:
Some light may be shed on the prob
lem by this accident: And old layman,
who was really much attached to Bas.
com, was nevertheless, grieved to the
core - what seemed his conformity &c
the world in the matter OF dress, and
that conformity argued very low state
of piety. Henry, my boy" he said in
q half admonitory, half pathetic tone,
what makes you such q dandy-why
don't you try to be and look like a Meth
odist preacher? You dress and carry
yourself in such way that many of
your brethren think you've got no relig-
ion." "My dear brother" answered Ras-
com, meekly, "my pay is 80 poor that
am obliged to wear what clothes are Civ
en- me, and if J. happen to look we'll in
them l can't help it; God made me
what am" eyes, you can help it."
said the old man, with some warmth,
"and you must help it. I'll cure the
matter: Will you wear suit Of clothes
that III have made for your" Gladly"
said Rascom. "All right" said his old
friend, "Pll make you look like a Meth
odist preacher; the clothes shall be ready
for you when you come round the next
time to attend the camp meeting" A
month later, Bascom reached the camp
ground, and his old friend was ready for
him; taking him out into the woods, he
said, sxulting, "Strip off those foppish
clothes and put on these, and for once in
your life, you will look like minister"
Bascom stepped aside and arrayed him.
self in the new garments, while the old
man rubbed his hands and cluckled with
glee at the prospect of beholding his
protege in orthodox parsonic gear. The
deformed, transformed Bascom stepped
forth, his fine person attired in suit of
blue jeans, the waistcoat buttoned straight
to the throat, the coat o genuine Quaker
"shad belly" something like an English
Bishops. AS the old man saw him ap-
preaching with elastic step, in his radiant
beauty, he started up aghast, conld
scarce trust the testimony of his eyes,
advanced, turned Bascom round and
round, retired few PAGES, surveyed him
from every point of view, and, with
discomforted expression ard dolorous
tone, exclaimed, Henry, there's no do
ing anything with you; you're born
foP; you look hundred times more like
dandy than You ever did BEFORE"
What could be done with q man who was
so becoming in whatever ne wore, who
looked like courtier or prince even in
homespun

was not to be introduced unless an ex-
press law was enacted authorizing its
use. He said it was an insult to the
fathers of the church to think that they
classed music with such trifes as STAIN
ed glass windows, false teeth, church
spires, etc. He had been taught to
look upon music as not authorized by
the Scriptures and he could not bow to
any mere doctrine overthowing those
teachings. He claimed that the intro
duction of organs would open up the
door to the introduction of hymns of
human composition. First the use Of
paraphrase of other scripture would be
sanctioned, then would come the
hymns, Just as has been the case in the
Presbyterian Church. 1t might not
come in FIVE or ten years, but it would
be merely question of time.
When DR.. Carson had concluded,
the Assembly adjourned to meet at
7:30 o'clock
At the next days proceedings a vote
was reached and instrumental music
gained the day. The minority entered
a protest to this action.

EDITORS CITIZEN This is quite a
newspaper reading" community, but
it is to be deplored that many read only
one-sided newspapers and by reading OF
them become very lop-sided in their
ideas; indeed their faith in a certain
paper and the faith it propagates, is
akin to the Mohammedan koran, and q
paper that gives light from all sides
and an editor who is desirous that the
truth be brought before the people for
the sake of country, home and truth,
gets little charity from Bigots, but we
are glad to say that every year, we be-
lieve, the Honorable Bilks" are grow
ing less. We know parties here who
take six and eight papers per year and
the "CITIzEN" is one of them, and, OF
course, it can't afford (even if it so de-
sired) to pass by and not notice wrong
and condemn it, for this class of its
readers would know of those things
and believing it was given to trucking
and condoning evil, would not want it.
Yes, CITIZEN, continue to be "more
noble than they" that wherever evil
and neglect to do the right is found,
expose it, on either friend or foe, that
the indignation of the people may be
be felt by their unfaithful servants,
even down to the "cow question" We
are glad to know of the increase in the
subscription list of the CITIZEN and OF
the regard and esteem in which it is
held by the people for its integrity, and
for daring to publish the truth, let who
will like or derogate it. 1t is the
County paper" here that people swear
by" and if the CITIZEN says it that's
enough, that settles it.
Quite number of the people of this
township (northern end) have gone to
Pittsburgh this week, among them the
notable County Chairman, Orr, to at
tend the State Convention of the P. H.
P. party, which is likely to be quite an
affair, as there is quite an amount of
discomfort among the Constitutional
Amendmentists. We suppose some
thing will be done. Let US know all
you can in regard to the outcome OF

There was large attendance at the
Presbyterian Church (Rev. Decker's) }
last Sabbath; communion services were
held. Rev. W. M. Taylor preached in

ing wet weather so large congregation
as usual was not present.
The Junior Order of the Royal
Templars has been established here
with apparent good success. A great
number of young folks attending.

1t sounds a little oddly for cold ac-
quaintances," coming this way on the
cars to hear, "Bruin," called out by the
train men, but we are all getting to
like it better every day, even those
who were deadly" opposed to the
change, have "taken to it" with good
grace and good will now.
