A Cincinnuti paper of last Satur-

might walk the streets of Jackson all
day, and you would never meet girl
half so homely as the best looking
portrait in the group. If the New

MinIsters, MeetIng.

At an informal meeting of the ministers of
the city some weeks ago, it was agreed to
organize for the purpose of occasional meet
ings and the discussion of important topics
in religion and morals, which affected the
churches and the community. The Rev. E.
T. Adams was chosen the president, and
Rev. L. III. Hallock the secretary. The first
meeting under this organization was held
yesterday morning at the hall of the Y. NJ.
C. A.
The Rev. Henry Blanchard opened the
discussion "How shall we obtain a better
observance of the Sabbath?" He affirmed
that this ministry must make clear their own
convictions to the people in the churches and
the community at large; that it is the duty
of the community to assemble in some place
of worship, there to best show dependence
upon God, and secure acquaintance with the
Scriptures. The speaker would have but
one service upon the Sabbath in the
churches, and that one pressed upon the
people. The intimate relations between this
service and physical health, intellectual
well-being and spiritual growth was en-
forced. Men are better rested for the work
of Monday by attending church on Sunday,
instead of idling away the time. A man is
not mentally growing who does not feel the
need of thinking the things of God. The
speaker affirmed that he had no intellectual
respect for one who thought it not necessary
to go to church and who would not read the
Scriptures for mental acumen. 1t is abso-
lutely important for men to come together
and so express sense of obligation to God
and receive the message of the Scriptures.
Man must have the peerless example Of
Jesus Christ. His words contain deepest
wisdom, The relation of the Sabbath school
to the non observance of the Sabbath was
dwelt upon and emphasized. To keep chill
dren in Sabbath school simply to make them
happy, and not from sense of duty, takes
away their nerve. The outcome of our
schools of learning must be profound con-
yiction of Deity and acquaintance with the
Bible. A teacher is not fit to be a teacher
who does not teach accountability to God.
Education without religion ayails nothing.
There must be demand upon the business
world for shorter hours OF labor. The
speaker enforced the need of Saturday half
holiday as help in answering the question
of the Sabbath observance. The fatigue OF
WoIKmen Is ulnuelaiOo :"
and growth.
DR.. Warren followed the discussion by de-
claring the Sunday newspaper as the proStl-
tuition of the Sabbath.
Mr.. Halloek felt that many Christian pro-
prietors of stores which are kept open until
late Saturday night desecrated the Sabbath
more than the clerks who stayed at home
from church.
Rev. Messrs. Hayden, Lowden, Bashford,
Daniels and others continued the discussion.
1t was agreed by the ministers present to
devote the second Sabbath in March to a
discussion of this topic from all the pulpits
of the city.
The next meeting will be held the first
Monday in March, the discussion to be
onened nv Rev Dr. Small

not be replaced in the generation to come. Nor is
the damage confined to these alone, for fruit
trees, orchards, wood and timber lands have all
