see anything reported west of Bur,

few dots. The forest leaf-worm OF
caterpIliars are in great multi

are very peculiar kind of worm.
The prospects for crops are flatter-
ing and the farmers are In hopeful
spirits. Your reporter recently

William Penn's square method
of dealing with the Indians was
not only perfectly satisfactory to
both parties, but also gave him
an enviable reputation. That's
the position THE BOSTON

satisfactory to buyer and seller
has given it an enviable reputa-
ton. Many men are so short and
stout that they imagine they
can't be fitted here, and so pay a
tailor an exorbitant price for
their clothes. We make a spec
ialty of odd shapes, and can fit
the shortest and stoutest man
faultlessly. Same way with the

giving each particular customer
a perfect fit; and when the fit,

A QUESTION ANSWERED..
Rev. C. e. Mitchell orr the Belief oi
the SXVedenbOrgians.

Rev. C. e. Mitchell orr the Belief OF
the SvvedenbOrgians.
The Rev. C. E. Mitchell yesterday
answered the question asked by the Presby-
terian General assembly of Minneapolis,
namely, SIS the Swedenborgian Christian
church," He held emphaticaily that 1t is,
for the following reasons:
The New Jerusalem Tor Swedenbogfan)
church is not merely new sect, but new
dispensation of light and life, new age in
the Christian church, typified by the descent
of the holy city, New Jerusalem, from heaven.
1t is spiritual church in the minds and lives
of men. Our church organizations are for
the cultivation of this spiritual church in our
hearts, intellects and lives. Our standard OF
essential doctrines, as test of membership,
is as follows:
1st. We believe in one personal God, who
is the Lord Jesus Christ.
We acknowledge the divine character of the
sacred scriptures as the holy word of God.
and we declare the absolute need of good
life, in accordance with the Lords command
ments, as made known in the sacred scrip
lures. These are our three essential doc
trines, and our test of membership. And we
have no other doctrines that are inconsistent
with these essentials. Our creed, which we
read on all necessary occasions, and to which
we all subscribe, is In accordance with Chris
tian doctrines.
That we must abstain from evil, because it
is of the DEVIL and from the devil; and that
we must do good, because it is of God, and
from God.
That in abstaining from evil and in doing
good we are to act as of ourselves, but we
must, at the same time, believe and acknowl-
edge that the will, the understanding and the
power to do so, are of the Lord alOne.''
