" CAN'T SEES" LOGIC.
To be coHt0ued.)

$50 say that the present Church
of England being the Church of
England of the 9th century proves
her to be ioSO .ti5cto the Church of
the Apostolic age. is like proving
that because | admit that | am 30
years of age now, | am therefore
proven to be 100 years of age"
Measured by this analogy, the
proof that the present Church of
England is the Church of the Apos-
tolic are is far from being sustained.
1t is possible, however, that shrewder
and better informed readers may
be able to realize that in admitting
that the Church of England is the
Church of England of the 9th
century they are committing them
selves to certain historical facts
which are universally conceded.
The logical proof should he seen
in the fact that if the Church of
England was in the vigor of her
strength, and capable of holding
and leasing property in the 9th
century, she certainly had history
and an identity reaching further
back. So, if man tells me in 1886
that he is 30 years of age, cannot
suppose that he has any history or
identity further back than 1886, and
he cannot he proven by any force of
logic to have lived beyond that year.
But if he tells me that in 1886 he
was able in his own name and of his
own riaht to hold and lease property
and transact business, ! know that
he must be more than 90 years of
age to learn how much more must
90 to him or to those who ought to
know, If you admit that the pres
ent Church of England is the lawful
and legal Church Of England of the
9th century, you allow that the
Roman Supremacy was unlawful aud
illegal. If you admit that, You
have to throw out the Roman Church,
in determining which of the two, the
Roman Church in England, or the
ancient British Church of that
country, is the Church, rightly, in
direct lineal descent, from Apostolic
times, which is all that | want to
establish, in saying that the Church
of England, of the present, OF OF
the 9th century, is the Church of
the Apostolic age.

THE REFORM SCHOOL.

The institution could have n small
chapel for Sunday School and wor-
ship, the Lords Day could he care
fully and religiously observed, Chris
tian motives and impulses, the love
of God and fear of sin, could faith
fully be taught and impressed, the
visits of Christian priests and min
isters could he encouraged, all this
could he done without the charge of
sectarianism or favoritism fastening
itself upon either Government or
school authorities. In the interests
mt stake Christian sympathy should
allow large latitude in these matters.
But ut all events the school should
be managed under religious princi-
pies, and Il law should he enforced
by those in charge requiring reli-
gious worship and providing for
sound Christian and moral teaching.
1t has been attempted of late; but
without correct discipline and pre-
arrangement, it cannot be done with
such class of boys. TO march the
boys in squads to their respective
churches in town, while it has not
been thought to have worked favor
ably hitherto, neither would it
suffice in any case. The fact is, the
boys should be made to feel that
they are being made better by reli-
gious influences at home, and that
their home is religious home.
England, confesscdly great edu-
eating country, would never dream
of Reformatory School, with the
grace of Jesus Christ an unknown
quantity; consequently resident
chaplain is either in charge or on
duty. 1t is n Christian work in
which mutual assistance could he
effectively rendered by every reli-
gious body in the city, if thought
necessary, and the cry Of sectarian-
ism. in such a case, would be pitful
in the extreme.
The question that | am trying tc
answer under this heading is this
how to make this Reformatory
School true reforming influence 10y
the grace of God: for by no Other
means can it possibly reform.
(The remark was made that per
haps some of the hearers would say
to themselves that they would sup
pose that Mr.. Groser being at til,
institution would give and had givcl
religious instructions upon which
he went ON to say that he had begun
to do so, but for want of discipln,
and support he had been compelle,
to relinQuish the idea, but he die
not mean to say anything more OF
the subject because it might he con
sidered personal and uncharitable.
By some means the evil of theS
boys should be brought to the ligh
which it shuns, and they should b.
made to give an intelligent respons
to the principals efforts for thei
good; ''madc" | say, because the,
will not do it voluntarily nor at frs
gladly; made to do so, 10y sympa
thetic compulsion, kindly surround

tian teaching. They must not h
treated as vagabonds, dressed, fe'
and neglected rs such. 1t will tax
an outlay of funds and of muc
patience, and more workers than ar
at present in the institution to d
this, but | am only showing wha
should be done.

and tobacco and profanity, an

Abilene like all other towns is infest-
ed with certain class of unprincipled
ours who stand around on the streets
making low flung and contemplate re-
marks about ladies as they pass. The
most refined and virtuous ladies in our
midst are not free from their poisonous
tongues. Very often they will say, II
don't know but I would bet this and
that" Many of this lecherous Drained
class have daughters just verging into
womanhood, or mother and sisters. Let
any one speak disparagingly OF their
character and they would swell up with
Indignation, but they will even draw on
their imagination tomake up something
to say derogatory to some woman's
good name who is just as pure as their
relatives. Out of respect for the mother
that bore them, the sister that so kindly
and willingly tries to make life pleasant
and takes such a sisterly interest in
their welfare, the wife who when sick
ness or accident lays them near deaths
door hovers over like an angel of mercy,
the daughter whom you watch with
paternal pride, and in the name Of honor,
manhood and right, instead of speaking
lightly of and traducing the character
of those who are physically too weak to
defend themselves, ever be ready to
vindicate their good name and your own
home will seem purer and better.

Thursday night last some sneak thief
entered the house of Saml Waters, on
east Sixth street, and took coat, vest
and pair of rubbers, the property of his
brother George, from one of the lower
rooms. A silver watch in one of the
vest pockets was stolen, but the clothes
were found in the back yard in the
morning, the inside pocket of the coat
being badly torn. Such occurrences are
becoming altogether too commonin this
locality for the general good, and should
be stopped with a few doses of cold
lead, if no other means can be devised
for the protection of property.
