CROOKED WAYS.
BY REV. J. W. MCMASTER.
Marietta, o.

There are men who claim to be en-
inently honest, who have such dishon-
est way of showing their honesty that
some are inclined to doubt. There are
also men who loudly boast that they al
ways tell the truth, yet they have such
pseudo way Of advertising their truth
fulness, that the elect even might mis-
judge them. So, there are not few
theologians who claim to preach 8
straight Gospel, yet they preach in such
a crooked way that we fail to see its
straightness.
They preach that God calls upon all
men to do rjqht, yet they teach that if
a man leaves this world with one I'M
righteous deed unrepented of, God will
always account it wrong for him to do
right, and will put his eternal veto up
on his every attempt at right-doing.
They preach truly that men should
love their neighbors as themselves, and
lay emphasis upon the Golden Rule, but
they also preach that Gods providence
is prohibiting, and will forever pro-
hibit untold millions from loving their
neighbors or obeying the Golden Rule.
To love God with all the heart is the
greatest command known to men, but
these theologians teach that if man
crosses the death line without this love,
he shall have unlimited liberty to hate,
and shall be under providential and
compulsory obligations to violate the
commands forever.
They preach repentance to the sinner
to-day, but raise their voice and cry
aloud, saying, "God will allow no man
to repent, or to turn away from sin on
the other shore.'
Oh, is not this a crooked way of
preaching the gospel, which is ever
pointing the sinner straight to right
eousness, holiness and love While
God lives, it never can be wrong to do
right, ne :. in for the sinner to stop
SHINING There can be no law against
repentarc ce. There is no law against
keeping Gods law, and loving Him who
is love, and 10 divine law that says it
will ever be bad to be good When shall
men learn that the gospel Of Jesus is
no crooked gospel, contradicting itself?
What is says to one it says to all; on
and and on ser iii tine ana eterntty..-
God has commanded all men every
where to repent.
The law says in the terrestrial and
celestial words, Love your neighbor
land your God" and not enc j0t or
little of the law shall in any wise pass
away till all be fulfilled.

ETERNAL JUDGMENT.

In Hebrews vi. 2, Paul mentions the
doctrine of baptism, and of the laying
on of hands, and of the resurrection of
the dead and of eternal Judgment"
Thus, if the word eternal means end
less, as some contend, it must also mean
endless when applied to the Judgment.
Hence, we would have an endless court
of Judgment, precluding the possibility
of any punishment thereafter. - Reu.
Thomas Abbott.

1t is the delusion OF certain people,
whose kindred may be found in every
church and connected with every ipsti-
tuition, that they must do something to
attract public attention. IIney estimate
the value of organizations or the impor-
tance of persons by the stir they make in
the world To be talked about they con-
slider the equivalent of fame; to have their
say on a subject of public interest is to
them the same as TO have influence with
the public. But all the fame worth
having results from diIigept attention to
ones own work; aud all real influence
abroad is derived from solid usefulness
at home.
Bishop Ireland defends with consid-
cradle success the charity practice OF the
Catholic church. That practice is based
on the theory, that true charity implies
love ot the victims Of misfortune. This is
the correct theory; but 1t is ofteu a nice
question what love of the sufferer or
sorrower would dictate. Love as q serti-
ment may prompt personal attentions and
efforts towards relief winch love as
principle may prohibit The p1i1l Is
that the real welfare OF tine uEloftnuate
Is 60 be sought. II "a VOgltice iH tine

blister will better serve lhu end, then q

Dean Swift SAID the reason q certain
university was "a learned place was that
most persons took some learning there
and few brought ally away with them, so
it accumulated.

this he incurred the enmity of the muir
derer to a violent extent Guiteau accused
Corkhill of seeking to have him hanged in
cold blood.
Col Corkhill was born in Harrison county,
Ohio, forty-eight years ago. His father was
Methodist preacher. and George was like
so many other clergyman's sons-bright and
pushing, but poor. While he was yet small
boy his family removed to Iowa. The youth
was graduated at the age of 21 from the
Wesleyan university Of Mount Peasant, la
Thence he entered the law school at Har-
ward. His blood, however, was too ardently
patriotic to calmly sit and read law while
tho war drum was sounding in his country.
He threw down his books and FASTENED back
home to Iowa There he organized COM
pany of volunteers and hastened to the seat
of war;
President Hayes appointed him prosecut-
ing attorney of the District Of Columbia
He continued to hold this Office till the be-
ginning of President Arthur's term. Then
he opened a law office in Washington. The
name he won during the Guiteau trial easily
built up good business for him
He left Washington in usual health and
in the best of spirits on Thursday. and on
Tuesday he was lying dead out in Iowa

IN TIE SANDS

The pretty girls promenade the sands in
their ravishing bathing costumes, and get
their photographs taken in them. But when
it comes to going into the surf, some OF them
slip off to the dressing rooms and hire a
cheap bathing suit, and wear that in the
water. The splendors Of the other are for
the sands, and not to be dimmed by contact
with the salt sea 1t is good idea.
A favorite spot for the girls is the sand
box" Here they come in groups and gangs
TO lounge under red umbrellas from morning
till noon, before and after bathing hours.
Here much spooning is done. The sand box
is a long wooden framework, a sort Of pier,
filed with sand.
Ladies 60 Grabbing, too, at Atlantic City.
The favorite spot is an inlet five miles away.
They drive along the beach to the place.
All along the coast here the sand is hard,
firm and smooth as q floor, making at low
tide an unequaled drive.
Atlantic City contains nine churches and
$50 drinking saloons. A writer says that
the women support the churches a.-
men support the saloons There are, be-
sides, nearly 700 boarding houses and hotels,

The visitors at Atlantic City are not 50
conventional as at the resorts farther north.
The nearer the cold north one gets the more
orudish surf bathers and others become.
In Atlantic City fair girls promenade for
aours upon the beach in bathing cos tunes
They look as trim and neat as pretty girls
well can in the sensational bathing cos
tunes they adopt Brightly contrasted blue
md white are the favorite colors. Black
stockings, often Of silk, reach up to the
close fitting trousers at the knea. All the
women affect black hose for bathing this
summer. A little white canvas bathing
slipper strapped or tied fast, completes the
costume downward The girls tie fancy
handkerchiefs over oilskin caps to keep their
hair dry, and they have some kind OF scarf
tied in a sailor knot under . broad collar at
the neck.
The beautiful wretches wear corsets with
these fancy bathing suits, and squeeze them
selves up and strap themselves down like
yeritable fat French women. Corsets are
offered with the hired bathing suits regu-
larly now. After bathing hours the clothes
lines in the vicinity Of the women's dressing
rooms show . string Of wet, bent, discolored
and hideous looking corssts that are enough

long, is fifteen feet wide, and is crowded with

for it is change, and change is about the only
rest worth having.
