) IHE PAST AND THE PREsENT.-The
Boston correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Presbyterian writes as follows:
The writer is an old man and remembers
ministers and churches for the last seventy wears
at least. Things have changed very much in
this period. Churches have been Organized
lived, and died. Pastors have come and gone,
Some things are better than they were seventy
years ago and some are worse. There is bet.
ter feeling among Christians of different demo-
limitations. Then you could not have had an
association of Baptists, Congregationalists,
Methodists, Episcopalians, Adventists as we
now have IN Boston. Then the old Congrega-
tonal ministers of New England denounced the
Methodists as disorganzers, running about from
place to place, breaking up parishes, dismissing
pastors and creating general confusion. Then
the Methodist ministers did not feel as though
they had discharged their duty unless in every
sermon they had given old John Calvin rap
over the head. The old minister in my native
town seventy years ago would no more have
admitted into his pulpit a Methodist minister
than ne would the evil one with his cloven foot
Now these ministers belong to the same associa-
ton exchange pull pit services, and behave like
Christians. Surely this is gain in the right
direction.
On the other side some things are worse than
they were then Ministers are not so sound,
pastorates not so long, ministers not so stable,
and children not so well instructed in Bible
truths.

articles on DR.. J. H. Rice, writes: &" In

WE have reason to suspect that the
statement of the death Of George Null
Ter in Australia is a mistake The
London Christian contradicts the re-

no mention Of the fact. We sincerely
hope that our obituary notice Of him
was premature.

BARRIERS NEED REST.

kEeV. Drs Christie breaches in Be
half of the TOnsoriaI Artist.
Rev. Dr.. Christie of the House of Hope
yesterday morning preached very inter-
esting sermon. which touched the bar Der
question that has created considerable in
tereSt of late. He took as his text Mark. ii.
81:
7 1.-THE Sabbath was made for man. and not
man for the Sabbath
e He said these words were uttered by the
iSayior when his disciples were passin e
Through field of corn, hungry and weary,
and plucked the grain and ate it, The
Jmeaning of these words were often miscon-
| strued, and they used it as if it were a
tweapon in to be welded against any inter-
ference with labor, amusement and revelry
| on the Lord day. In the law of the Sab
Ebath, as laid down in the Bible, there are
1.-TWO elements. one of precept the
Iother of prohibition. There is an
injunction to keep it holy, the other
forbids all work or unnecessary labor. It
| is with the prohibitory feature 1 propose to
! deal at the present time. DR.. Christie
spoke at length, arguing that mans
physical weli-being requires the rest of the
! holy Sabbath, and stated that water and
air do not stand more closely related to
mans physical need than does the rest of
that day. He asserted that mans intel
| lectual and moral well-being demands the
rest of the Sabbath. Said he:
: How can mans moral nature be kept
sensitive to the rights of others if mind and
hand are to be INCREASINGLY occupied with
mechanical operations? If no provision is to
be made for the developing of the religious
nature, morality must be left without her
strongest support.
lie closed his dissertation with the fol-
lowing words, which refer especially to the
barber question:
The presentation of this subject TODAY
was suggested by seeing The members of a
most useful and honorable occupation in our

who oppose this movement have carried
the matter to the courts and are trying tn

result may be in the courts; know what the
duty of every Christian man is, so far as he
stands related to this question. Many of these
men have not spent Sabbath with their fam
lies for years and years, and in order that
they may they must have Sunday as a rest

1t was a little late for church yesterday
morning when l got up, so after lunch I
took stroll that lasted for some hours
just to see how people were putting in the
day at various places. 1t was one of the
most charming days that st. Paul has seen
this summer, and if anybody had been re-
Hglously inclined, he or she couldn't have
got out OF good sermon ON the plea that it
was either too hot or too cold. The sun
Shone clear, and there was enough air STIR
ring to keep the day from being sultry. I
leaned up against the postoffice front on
Wabasha street while a kid was
giving me shine. The street was
very quiet and everybody seemed to be in
church. In the five m inutes that l stood
there few persons passed, and, with a sin
gle exception, they all had prayer-books
with them. The only exception was a
youngster with fishing pole. and as he
passed he said to the kid who was at work
with his brush: ''I'm going to White Bear;
only SO cents out'n back" He had not
been to church.
Irvine park is a very pretty place after
one reaches it, though in a warm day the
steps that lead under the hill are very an
noying. l went down there after l had nv

below the stairs, l saw female sitting Just
behind some heavy curtains, that were
parted little. She had on a
white dress, and was looking in an absent
minded way through the window
out over the river. She had on white
dress and her hair was combed back from
forehead as white as her garment. On her
lap lay newspaper but she was not read
ing. She seemed to be in sort of waking
dream and her hands hung idly by her side.
She was the most comfortable looking per-
son in sight, for it was very hot about the
sidewalk where half dozen men were
lounging. A part of bunch of cigarettes
lay on the window sill. L don't believe the
woman in white had been to church.
~
Down the park there were a dozen or
more children on the settees. They had on
their Sunday clothes and were remarkably
quiet They observe the rule not to pic k
the flowers pretty well, for when one of the
smallest made rush for the bed where the
geraniums are in bloom her companions
quickly took her away and one of them
told her she mustn't do that or somebody
would arrest her. 1t was very quiet in the
park and about all the noise that could be
heard was the splashing of the fountain.
~
After lunch, took West Seventh
street car and went to Banholzer's grove,
where some hundreds of men and women
were having picnic. A band played very
pleasant and very many selections
and the people who had come
out were apparently enjoying themselves.
A great many were drinking beer. and
many others were eating peanuts they had
purchased from a couple of venders that
had their carts just outside the grove. 1t
was a very orderly crowd, and two or
three policemen there had nothing to do
but listen to the band.

On the way into the city the cars were
crowded, and two OF three persons rode on

To the Editor of the GLOBE:
ST. PAUL. Mimi, June 19.-Your Wash
ington correspondent in mentioning Carl
Gutherz' picture farming in Dakota, is in
error in stating that the picture was painted
on the Dalrymple farm. All of the drawings,
sketches, etc., were made from life on the
magnificent farm of Hon. J. B. Powers at
Glendale, in the beautiful Red river valley,
Mr.. Powers extending every courtesy and
facility possible to the artist. AS this picture
is about to be purchased by the government,
it seems proper that the error should be cor
rected. Very respectfully,

the front end with the driver. At the short
line crossing, man who was evidently
someone in the employ of the street car
company, talked in loud tones to the driver
because he said three men were trying to
sneak ride. He told the driver there
were three men on board for whom he had
not struck his little alarm bell. The driver
said he could not tell just how
many there were on board the crowd
was so great. The other man was
somewhat abusive. but it seemed to me
pretty tough that single driver should be
expected to drive his team. watch all that
hailed him for ride, let the ladies off and
then be abused for keeping tab on those
that tried to sneak ride OH the rear end
Of the car.
Down at the Merchants hotel and about
the Ryan and the Windsor everything was
unusually quiet. The rotundas were almost
deserted and those guests who were not in
their rooms had taken chairs on the side
walks at the Ryan and Windsor, and on the
piazza at the Merchants, and there was
little talk going on.
Before l came up from the business part
of the city I saw two or three
men who had been to Minneapolis
to see the game of base ball. They said
there was pretty good delegation of st.
Paul people up there.

In the evening two or three men were
holding religious exercises at Bridge
square. They stood at the foot of the elec-
trio light mast and nearly 100 listeners
were on the sidewalk. When one of the
men began to sing Where is My Wander
ing Boy Tonight" two young hoodlums
walked out in front of the crowd and said,
in half maudlin tone, "Here we are"
Then they walked back and forth. talking
and trying to break up the man who was
singing. One or two in the crowd cried
"Rats!' 1t would have suited large part
of the crowd if these two sweet-scented
specimens had been collared and dropped
off the bridge. A RAMBLER.

the men to have the rest of the Sabbath.
Such being the case the success or failure of
the movement will depend on the sentiments
of their customers in this city. If these are
willing to be waited on on Saturday, which
they can do almost without exception, they
will triumph. What they ask from every

How often is the light of the household
clouded by signs of melancholy or irritabil-
