Charles and His Teacher.

when they are comfortable. II suppose"

know they were?"

town about an hour after school begun
"Oh, he was carrying a note from the
teacher to her best young man."
''That's pretty business"
''But she marks him ten in his studies

"Oh, that makes a difference"

Why Chewing-Gum is Injurious.

''The fayoring is usually poisonous"
replied the doctor, ''and by its constant
presence, in however small quantity, it
set up an inflammation. But the habit is
otherwise pernicious. The untiring mo-
ton of gum-chewer's jaws provokes a
superfuous flow of saliva, just as if there
was only pinch of salt on the tongue,
and wears out the saliyary glands. Gum
chewing retards digestion. If a woman
fills her stomach with water or saliva she
browns the gastric juices, also the inter
minable attrition wears out the teeth, and
foreign flavor by degrees renders the
breath more and more disagreeable. The
practice is bad in every way."-Nashville

conundrum to answer. It is this, When

we have got it we no longer care for
it,

Teacher. What is it, Tommy?
Tommy. 1T is a wife.
Teacher. Who told you that was the
answer.
Tommy. I heard my father say so.
Teacher. That answer is not so far
out of the way after all, but the answer /
meant was maturity. When we are young
we want to be older, and when we have
obtained age we no longer want it, but
as your father remarked Tommy it is
the same with wife. The class is dis

IN the excitement of political campaign when territorial and
 county officers are to be elected
 the voters of the several precincts may forget, or ignore the impor
 tance of electing true trusty and
 worthy men for justices of the
 peace and constables. In
 each precinct of the county two
 Justices should be elected and al-
 so two eonstables, except in those
 precincts where the number is des- ignated by statute. This precinct,
 at the last general election elected
 three justices but now we are en- titled to but two since the number of voters has decreased, caused by temporary suspension in some mining enterprises. The CLARION would suggest that some of our representative citizens have a con- ference and agree upon some re- sponsible parties, the names of whom will be placed upon the tickets to be voted for on the End proximo. In the election of pre- cinct officers, party feeling or po- liticsl prejudices should not be considered, for men should be elected who have the confidence of the mass of voters the voice of whom should be omnipotent- The jurisdiction of a justice is $500. A constable has the same authority as the sheriff in certain cases, hence the importance of selecting good men to fill those official posi- tions. Let us not forget that pre- ciuct officers will be elected at the | general election and turn our at- tention for moment to our local | interests. l

 Who was made the Democratic nominee for the legislative coun- cil, is a native of Massachusetts, ; and Is so well-known in this. coun- ty, that it would seem impossible to say anything of him that is not already known to our readers. He has lived in Arizona since 1865 and has held a number of Impor- tant official positions under the government during that period. When Graham county was a part of Pima Mir. Stevens represented this portion in the Territorial legislature for several sessions and is therefore perfectly famil far with the duties of legislator.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.

The Universalist Sunday schools Of
our churches at Englewood, Blue Island,
Elgin, Aurora, Plainfeld, Oak Park. and
of the Church of the Redeemer, of this
city, sent delegates to the meeting at
st. PauPs Church, on Friday after
noon of last week, with the object of
forming a Universalist Sunday school
union. Hon. Samuel Kerr, of Chicago,
presided, and a constitution and bylaws
were adopted in the afternoon, after
which the following officers were elected:
Hon. Samuel Kerr, president; Col. J..S
Wilcox, Elgin, ice-president; Mrs. II. b.
Rextord, Blue Island, secretary, and Mr..
Henry Kingman, of Chicago, treasurer.
The executive committee will consist of
the above officers and representative
from each Sunday enumerated.
1t is designed that the union shall
meet az one of the churches each two
months, commencing with Oak Park in
January. At these meetings there will
be discussed problems in Sunday-school
work, and addresses will be made by
teachers and superintendent. These
meetings will also be in the nature of
experience and encouragement meetings.
At the evening session Rev. Charles
Conklin read paper entitled, Modern
Methods in Sunday-school Work." which
followed up the rapid strides of progress
made in Sunday-school work within a
few years. Every Sunday school is now
practically Bible school. The advance
in the quality of Sunday-school liter
allure has been marked-indeed, the Sun
day-school has created literature Of its
own, and in the Sunday-school library
" the mawkish sentimentalism of the past
is outgrown and the brightest and best
products OF modern genius are now
placed ON the library shelves" Among
the suggestions thrown out by Mr.. Conk-
lin is an improved method Of work by
periodical comparison with the work aud
methods of all other Sunday schools. A
general discussion followed, led by Rev.

In this way the work is made quite read
able, and many will be surprised at the
interest with which page after page is
followed.
The completion of this elaborate work
is matter for congratulation alike to
the church and the author, who has
given to it thirty of his most fruitful
years. When we consider the meagre
sources of information to draw upon,
especially for the early years of the
present century, and the vast amount of
research required, the work as now
accomplished is remarkable monument
of DR.. Eddy's industry. 1t is also the
result of unwearied toll and patient
labor on the part of one, whose love for
our church was the inspiring motive of
the undertaking. Now, that it is pub
lished, we trust it will be widely pur-
chased and read, and that the invest
ment of the Publishing House in the
work will meet with speedy and salts
factory returns.

MINISTER'S MEETING,

The adjourned November meeting of
the ministers of Chicago and vicinity was
held at the rooms of the Western Branch
on Monday. Present, Messrs. Adams.
Conklin, Cantwell, Small, Ryder, Miss
Chaplin, and @. L. Waite as visitor. After
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Waite, the announce
ment was made that at the December
meeting Rev. Miss Chaplin would present
paper on the doctrine of the Holy
Spirit" Rev. j. Coleman Adams read
the paper of the morning. Subject, s'The
Authority of Christ"
This authority was affirmed to lie in his
relations to Deity and humanity, which
relations are set forth in the conscious
ness of the Christ as revealed in his words
and works. These show that he deemed
himself in peculiar relations to God, and
IN a rank apart from men. His words are
more than deduction from his mighty
works. They were uttered out of his in
buttons. In his own thought of himself
and in the bearing of men toward him
there Is recognition of his right to COM
mand. This recognition of his claims
outlasts his own age and runs through all
time. This authority is still further at
tested by the miraculous works which he
wrought especially by the resurrection,
which are woven so closely into the story
nj O. e. - l. 81 Il
cles is denial of the whole record.
The reading of the paper over, brief
discussion followed. Each had word
to say on the general subject, mainly in
approval of the positions taken by the
essayist. No dissent was expressed from
the conclusions of the paper. The next
meeting of the Association will be held
on the third Monday (20th) of December.
