NeWbern Notes.

Why don't some one write an article
on an italian climate. ...
Mr.. O. w. Kirby is feeding about two
hundred steers for the spring market.
They are doing well, notwithstanding
the cold weather.
Mr.. David Tate, who has been visit
ing friends in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey for several weeks, has returned
determined to raise corn and wheat in
Kansas.
Mr.. Alfred Keller and family, of
Phillips county, have been visiting his
brother, Edmond Keller, for a few
weeks.
The Highland school received a visit
last Friday from Mr.. ]. II. Engle, the
teacher at No. 10, accompanied by quite
a number of his pupils. The teacher
was taken by surprise to see so many
of his old friends coming in and yet such
surprises are a source of pleasure to
him.
There is considerable talk in the High
land Dist, of a new school house, which
is certainly a move in the right direc-
ton. This is one of the wealthiest
uIOli1OSo III liiO NOuhS4g having a NdlUd-
ton of nearly $4,000, and they.can
well afford to build a good house. Let
the agitation of this subject be contin-
ued until Highland can boast the best
country school house in the county.
1t is expected that the Teachers In
stitute at the Purdy school house next
Saturday, Jan. 81, will be largely at
tended. Prof. levitt will lecture in
the evening. Come one, come all, and
let us have good time.
Mr.. George Herr, of Bell Springs,
who went East a few weeks ago and
got married has returned, but his wife
is not with him. She will follow in a
few weeks, however, and Georges cup
of Joy will be complete. Mrs. Herr,
who halls from Pennsylvania, has many
friends here who will be glad to vel
come her to her pleasant home. From
what we hear Mr.. II. is to be cOngratu-
lated upon capturing one of Pennsyl-
vania's fairest daughters.
There was taken from the abb
lene post-office, about four weeks ago a
packageof seventeen pictures, size Sx10,
addressed to John S. Ford. They are
pictures of his school and can certainly
be of no use to the person getting them.

Mr.. Snyder, of Chapman, the repub-
lican postmaster who wishes to retain
control of his office, objects to being
called hungry and ''hOggiSh." He
sent after FIVE extra copies of last weeks
REFLECTOR. which contained fiatter-
ing notice of his patriotic wishes to
serve a democratic administration, He
said in his note that the REFLECTOR
had almost persuaded him to retire
from the conflict and yield up his Office
gracefully, as every high spirited repub
lican should do. Well, the great moral
and religious weekly is glad that he is
touched. The tow line Of this paper
will be thrown out to him in friendly
effort to save him from being lost. He
remembers that in that sweet revivaliS-
tic song the man who was ''aimOst per-
suaded' was lost" 1t is the heart
felt desire of this paper that Mr.. Snyder
should be wholly persuaded. Then he
will be saved the humiliation of having
his official head cut off by an Admins
tratiOn which will not properly appre-
ciate his noble efforts to serve his
country. NIP. Snyder, don't ask for
re-appointment bat subscribe for the
REFLECTOR, safe and infaiiibie guide
in all things temporal as well as
spiritual.

The REFLECTOR man was in juno
ton City last Monday. The venerable
and dignified. town appeared just about
as it did twenty years ago. We be-
lieve its chief Importance is not dis
cernable to the naked eye. 1t acquires
some distinction, however, as trading
point for the soldiers Of Fort Riley.
The livelieSt enterprise in Junction
City is the Union. We called upon it
and found its editor, Geo. W. Martin,
who is, by the way, one of the best
newspaper men in the state, at home.
The office of the Tribune, the leading
greenback paper of the state, was de-
serted by its editors. 1t is asserted
and generally believed that Junction is
chosen by conventions because they can
deliberate in peace and quiet, undis-
turbed by the noise of business and
traffic. But we were creditably in
formed that the sO-inclined could be
led astray even in quiet, pastoral juno
ton City.

THE TWO METHODS OF INTER
PRDTING THE SCRIPTURES.

The infdel and the atheist look Out
upon the religious world, and view the
numerous denominations and factions
into which believers in the Bible are di.
vided, and are thereby led to denounce
the sacred Word, and everything that is
of a religious nature. Looking merely
at outward circumstances we do not
wonder that these unbelievers stumble

self, with the infdel, asking the ques-
ton time and again "If the Bible is q
true book, why are so many conflicting
theories based upon Its teachings?" We
certainly know that two Biblicists can
not stand Numerically opposed and
both be right. They may both be wrong,
but they cannot both be right. We
think the only way to account for 30
many conflicting opinions respecting
Bible truth, are the methods of inter
probation used by Bible expositors.
There are two general systems of in
depreciation made use of by Bible ex-
positors In their interpretations of the
sacred Scriptures.
The first Is the mystical or spiritualiz-
ing system invented by Origen, to the
shame of sound criticism, and the curse
of Christendom. The second 10 the lit

have mystical or hidden sense, which

ration Is TO be taken in its most obvious
and literal sense, except where the well

TO hope for any uniform understanding

SYSTEM knows no law but the uncurbed
| Imagination Of its adherents; hence
there are on It's side as many different
| interpretations Of Scripture as there are
writers, or mem TO interpret. BY the lit
sral method everything Is subject to well
established and clearly defined law.
Viewed from this standpoint, the read
er will be surprised to see how simple,
easy and clear many portions OF the
Scriptures at once become, which ac-
cording TO any other system are dark
and unsolvable."
Many are willing to take the Bible in
its literal sense 80 far as such rendering
dees not cut across their practice. When
such, however, is the case we lind many
too willing to resort to the mystical, or
spiritual Interpretation. 1t may answer
for the present, and perverted feenng
and blind reason may ease the sleepy
conscience, but at the judgement bar OF
God the fallacy Of such resort will be
made apparent TO all.
The Author of the Bible was the Au-
thor of our reason. He did not clothe
his instructions in such ambiguous Ian
guage that IL would need some ID. ID. or
| L. &. d. to interpret 1t in order to have
it understood. To say that He did would
Impeach His wisdom, and affirm that
puny man stands as Gods corrector. He
who could see the end from the begin
ming, knew the hearts Of men, and knew
too, that he could not trust ambitious
man to tell what He intended to tell:
The most solemn consequences depend
upon the written Word, If it be true,
and we certainly believe it is.
No, it will not do to depend upon
learned men to give US the right mean
ing of Scripture, for they differ as wide
" among themselves as the common
people. When our Savior was here on
earth the Pharisees disputed with Him
face to face. His infinite wisdom could
penetrate the future, and He very well
knew that there would be Pharisaical
professors and false expositors, in all
ages. For this reason our Lord spoke
His words so intelligently and plainly,
that if taken just as written, none nsed
err, either in theory or practice.
