THE RECENT TEXAS ASSOCIATION.

have just returned from our Association,
it being the first ever held in the Lone Star
State, and the only one the writer ever at
tended. OF course I felt good. I think no
truly religious person could feel otherwise
when they come in contact with such noble
souls as Sister Billings, Sister Dewey, and
many other good and jealous sisters; and
then Rev. j. X. Street (who is a perfect
''wheel horse"), Rev. Mr.. Billings, and Br.
Rynes, besides many good lay members. 1t
was enough to make one like myself, who
have been almost alone for the past twelve
years, feel like shouting. In these dozen
years that l have stood almost alone, there
has been great change in the better class of
the ministry of our opposers. But when we
compare now with ten or twelve years back,
we feel to rejoice at the change, although it
seems slow. If we could be supplied with
constant preaching, there is no doubt that
our doctrine would grow up at once. am
more impressed with this fact from the labor
of Br. Abbott, of Mt. Vernon, Ind, who spent
month preaching in the State. Here and
every place he went he left good impression.
At Blanket, Brown county, he organized a
parish called Anderson's Ranch. At Brown
wood he made a good impression, also at
Fork Valley, Sipe Springs, Comanche, and
Meridian, where his opposers said, 'If he
didn't leave soon he would convert the town"
He also preached at Waco and many other
places. The writer was with him about fif
teen days. and now enjoys the consolation
that the good seed then sown is still growing
and with the proper culture will continue to
grow and spread, as the mustard plant, till
it afford shelter to ALL" A.v.

A CAUTION TO MINISTER'S.

just give me space to say that was in
company of ministers recently and was
panied with some remarks which heard.
These remarks were largely in criticism of
other ministers, and they seemed to me
rather harsh and unkind. 1t would be we'll
for clergymen to understand that laymen are
not always acquainted with the weaknesses
and foibles of clergymen, and do not as a
general thing like to become acquainted with
them-especially from their brother minis
ters. feel aggrieved that moro care is not
exercised in this matter; and in my opinion,
it would be well for ministers to withhold
such remarks always, but more especially
when laymen are of the company.

Yale College. in Connecticut. here

Yale College, in Connecticut, hereto
fore a sound orthodox institution, has
given more than one evidence recently
that its pious seclusion and the still air
of solitary and delightful studies is
likely to be invaded by the progressive
spirit of the times. 1t is limited that
many of the students and several of the
faculty are in sympathy with the New
Departure. We are not surprised, there
fore, to learn that quite a breeze was
created there last week, the occasion be-
ing the publication in the college jour
nal OF an editorial which arraigned the
preaching at the Sunday service as quite
behind the times and affording little
benefit TO the students attending. This
editorial observed, and with an emphasis
which cannot be mistaken: taking
into consideration that attendance is COM
pulsory, and with all due respect to the
faculty, we think we but echo the COM
mon sentiment of the college in saying
that the Gospel, as preached to us, is not
what it should be. When we consider
that the four years of college life will de-
termine our religious convictions in great
part we think that the subject should be
presented to us in the best manner pos
sible and not in such way as to drive us
to skepticism from sheer indifference"
The charge is not new one by any
means, that the average orthodox preach
ing is conducive to the growth of indif.
ference and skepticism, but that it should
be SO plainly made IN Yale College
journal is decidedly one of the signs of
the times.

THE General Convention of 1943 met
at Akron. Forty-three years after, in
1886, the Convention was again held in
that city. At the '43 Convention, Rev.
Hosea Ballou was present, in the seventy
third year of his age. At the Conyen-
ton of 'S6, his successor in the old
School Street Church, Boston, Rev. DR..
A. A. Miner, was present, and also in the
seventy-third year of his age. These
are condolences which perhaps will be
noticed by the future historian.

the spirit of the article, and approve of what
it says in regard to the settlement of pastors
and the good effect of getting up of sub
scription for more than single year. But
when came to the place where the salary of
the preacher was placed at 81 800 per year, 1
began to open my eyes and to think that the
whole article was an ideal description of what
might occur in the twentieth or !twenty-frst
century, and not an actual presentation. I
give my opinion on the point that the 'coun-
try preacher" who wrote it is a city pastor,
enjoying good salary, and not acquainted
at all with the range of salaries in country

The Toronto Globe-pn ssibly Prof.
Goodwin Smith-says: There can be
no doubt that the spirit and temper of
this age are in protest against great
practical error of the Church in the past,
viz, that of pressing too exclusively the
oretic truth. 1t is not thst men hate and
disoelieve the spirit and faith of Christ,
though bigots are quick to assert this; no,
bnt they rebel against the claim religious
teachers have SO long made, that the
guesses, differences and science of the
past are the limit of the thought of the
present. The scientific spirit and crit
ical researches of the times that are pass
ing over us, have relegated theoretical,
speculative matters to limbo of oblivion,
but they have enabled us to see more
clearly the real, historical, living Christ,
who was to a great extent concealed by
the controversial mists that we're thrown
around him."

A HINT FOR oAND1DAr1NG CHURCHES.


If our people will take a business view of
their church matters and first secure among
themselves sum sufficient to remunerate
their pastors as they should, and then accom-
pany their request for a candidate to visit
them with draft for expenses, the minister
would be thousand times more likely to
please, because of the interest they have in
him. A church that sends out bids for can
didates without first having fortified them
selves financially against the expense is like
the man who undertook to build his house
without first counting the cost. The church,
in its outside work, in its organized form. is
like any other human institution-must be
kept up by dollars and cents. God never
purposed to keep up our organizations for
us. What God proposes to do is to fill our
churches with the Holy Spirit. And believe
it is a noteworthy observation that he usually
fills the church with his Holy Spirit just in
proportion to the financial strength. I do
not mean according to the number of mon
eyed men in the church, but the financial
strength actually contributed.

CENCE


CENCE.
While having read to me this morning the
occasional sermon preached before the Gen
eral Convention at Akron, o., Wednesday,
Oct. 20, by Rev. G. I. Flanders, D. D., was
reminded of the sermon preached in Win
chester in 1911, before a Convention called
of ''all the Universalists of the New England
States and Others" by Rev. Paul Dean, from
the same text: Gear not, little flock, for it is
your Fathers good pleasure to give you the
kingdom" Luke xii. 80. The text then
seemed prophecy; now its fulillment
Then Universalism was but little known even
in New England, while Ohio had only been
admitted as State nine years before with
population less than that of Chicago at the
present time. Paul Dean was then hand
some, prepossessing young man, and most
eloquent speaker. 1 frequently heard him
after that occasion and was always charmed
with his preaching. That sermon was most
powerful and eloquent discourse. and made
an impression upon my mind that has never
been effaced. There was also preaching at
that Convention by Edward Turner, Abner
Kneeland, Thomas Jones and Hosea BaIou.

THAT SUDDEN DEATH.
Something More of the History of
Mrs. B. A. Kinney.

In the case of Mrs. B. A. Kinney. whose
death was announced in yesterdays

yesterday at Warmers morgue showed that
the cause of death was peritOnitis. The
woman died while all alone at her home.
63S Jewett place, and it was thought an
inquest might be necessary. Coroner Hill
ordered the post mortem examination, and
from the result found he has concluded not
to hold an inquest. Mrs. Kinney has a son
living in Nebraska and daughter in Gin
cinnati. The body will not be buried
until they are heard from. 1t was learned
last night that about four years ago Mrs.
Kinney was pastry cook at the Windsor
hotel. At that time she bore good rep
utation, but later the poor woman went
wrong, and was known to be living a life
of shame, first in rooms on Washington
avenue south and latter in small house on
Third street north. The person from whom
these facts were obtained had not seen the
woman for two years until last night, when
he learned of her death in the papers, and,
going to the mOrgue, identified the body.
He said that Mrs. Kinney was a widow,
but he knew nothing Of her family.

At the Various Theaters.
The good audience that even the cold
weather could not keep away from the
Grand last night saw many familiar faces
in the beautiful and pleasing opera of
"Nanon," as rendered by the Carleton
company. Last season very decided hit
was made and pleasant recollections were
held of the parts taken by W. T. Carleton
as D'Auligne. Miss Ray Samuels as Nanon,
Miss Alice Vincent as Ninon. Charles IL.
Drew AS Marquis de MarSillac and several
others. The waltz song has become famil-
lar to every ear, and altogether the opera
left impressions so favorable that the pres
ent week is an almost assured success. The
opening presentation was quite good and
sent the audience home satisfied, after
every leading piece of music had been
warmly encOred. In the second act piece
of Henry Hoyt's now famous stage painting
was set and was warmly applauded.
"Nannn'' will be given all week, and with
Wednesday and New Years matinees. On
Friday evening only, Drum Majors
Daughter will be given.

New Year Preparations.
The board Of trade met. as usual, yester-
day morning Gov. Pillsbury not being
present the report of the committee in
reference to a police commission was not
presented. The committee on railroads re-
ported on the interstate commerce bill,
which had been reported to them. returning
the bill without recommendation. Col.
King and Gen. NettletOn were of opinion
that the clause referring to long and short
hauiS was very detrimental to the interests
of the Northwest. j. c. Whitney opposed
the bill as very miSchieviOuS measure IL.
a. Towne said that the bill is so impractic-
able and inconsistent as to be matter of
wonder The railroads opposed it because
it was against the interests of the people,
and the interests of railroads and the people
are identical. At the request of the board
Gen. NettJeton prepared resolution on
the bill:
Resolved, That while this board of trade
fully approves the general principle of ma
tional control and regulation of interstate
carrying trade, and while in the main it con-
ours IL the provisions of the compromise bill
now pending before congress, it thoroughly
diSapproves and deprecates the provisions of
section 4. relating to what is known as the
TO pooling arrangements between parallel
and competing lines. In the judgment of
this board section 1, if enacted, would give to
the proposed national commission powers
whose exercise would be dangerous and
might easily become destructive to the dis
tinctively agricultural sections of the coun-
try
Resolved, That a committee of three be ap-
Dcinted with instructions to forward the fore
Goinr resolution &c our senators and repre-
septatives in congress, accompanied with
letter of transmission which shall more fully
set forth the views of this board.
The resolutions called forth much inter-
esting discussion. The secretary favored
the pooling system as being more productive
of good than harm. Other members were
anxious to have the reference to section 5
omitted. but when it came to vote the
resolutions passed unanimously. The chair
annointed as committee named in bill

"DOWNsNG AMEs..
a Sample of the DespicabIe Methods
Used TO accomplish This End.

II
As sample of the way in which every
little incident is twisted about and used in
the mighty effort that is being made to"down
Ames," the following from the Pioneer
Press is sample:
DIR. Ames is not very generous toward
Ramsey county for the enormous vote she
gave him at the last election. After the man
was hurt as Merriam Park Friday. the first
passenger train going by was bound for Min
neapolis. DR.. Ames attended him in his
professional capacity. and as mayor of Min
neapolis returned him to St. Paul because
the accident happened in Ramsey county.
The man was compelled to endure the trip TO
st. Paul on The train and long ride TO the
hospital in the patrol wagon. 1t is alleged
that his death was fastened by the action OF
the Minneapolis authorities.
The injured man referred to is Patrick
Crowley. who stepped Off train at Mer-
Ram Park and was severely injured. He
was taken to DR.. AmeS' Office, where he
regained consciousness sufficient to state
that he worked for Bishop Ireland and had
friends near Merriam Park named Gleason,
to whom he wished to be taken. DR.. AmeS
not only treated the man, but personally
went to the depot and saw that he was
carefully handled. He also telephoned to
the railroad station at Merriam to notify
the Gleason family to meet Crowley at the
depot. The GleasOns, for some reason,
did not appear, and Crowley was taken on
to ST. Paul. 1t was at Crowley's own re-
quest that he was sent from Minneapolis,
and there was nothing left undone or any
thing in the case that could i'll the slightest
degree reflect upon Dr.. Ames.
