was evidently manifested until the caucus
was called TO order when il WIS ascer-
tanned that arrangements had been
quietly made 90 get control OF the caucus
and run IL in the interest Of certain can
didates FOR county offices. The only
opposition, however was between T.. II.
Lott and Il. O'Brien, the latter winning
by n handsome majority, well earned by
the amount OF "hustling" done by him.
Fifty-nine votes were polled and NJ. st.

Quite "A fiutter ofexcitement was created

missioner Anderson, Of the General Land
Office, had rendered decisin TO the ef-

clared his intention to become citizen
Of the United States could legally initiate
a homestead entry.
IL il quite certain, however, thatwhat-
ever may have been the foundation upon
which the runner was based, and what
ever may have been the opinion OF the
Assistant Commissioner upon the sub
ject at the time OF the publicat ton. no
such decision was promulgated, and that
officer IL now firmly OF the opinion that
unless n Chinaman can conclusiveIy show
that he had declared his intention to be-
come citizen OF the United States prior
TO the amendment OF the Naturalization
Laws in 1875, he can never become quail

under any Of the laws where citizenship
is "a prerequisite.
Ii appears that the districtla officers
in one Of the territories permitted three

mineral land entry, and the case came
before the assistant commissioner for

Revised Statutes as amended by the act
Of 1875 excluded Mongolians from the

THE sUNDAY-sCHoOL UNION.

The fourth meeting of the Sunday
school Union of Chicago and vicinity was
held at Englewood, on Thursday after
noon and evening of last week. It was a
very spirited and profitable gathering,
but the attendance was largely from the
city schools-counting Englewood and
Oak Park in that category. About sew
enty-five visitors were present. The sew
ersl essays and the discussions were prsc-
tical and directly in the line of the teach
er's work and the problems of the Sun
day-school.
The Englewood people received their
visitors with great cordiality and spread
an ample board for their evening re-
freshment. The occasion was an enjoy
able one socially, and all felt that the after
noon and evening we're we'll spent, every
way considered. These meetings of the
Union are serving an excellent purpose,
not only in bringing the teachers togeth'
or for the consideration of their work
and the best methods to be adopted in its
behalf, but in developing the social rela-
tions of our several parishes and making
them better acquainted with each.
The next meeting will probably be held
with st. Paul's church, on the regular
day and evening in next month.

mated with the love of Christ, scattered
as they are among millions of idolatorsl
Besides, it is not only true that the
providence of God has secured to the
Christian church the way of access to
most Of the great heather nations of the
world, but vast amount of Christian
knowledge has already been dissent
mated; prejudices have been extensively
removed, and from almost all quarters
where missionaries have been employed,
we are assured that the heather are
much more intelligent and earnest lis
teners than they were twenty, thirty,
or forty years ago. The seed of gospel
truth sown upon the soil of heathenism
has sprung up and borne fruit, and the
dark corners of the earth are vocal with
the song of redemption.
In that to which reference has been
made, or has been brought under notice,
respecting foreign missions and their
grandeur of results, may we not see that
way has been prepared, an opportun-
ity presented, call made for our own
church, now become strong and excel
lently equipped for large service in
near or remote fields, to enter into the
labors of others, or to unite, so far as it
may, with its sister churches of Amer
lea in a work so nobly begun, so glor-
iOusly prosecuted 1t is possible that
work is waiting in some foreign field,
on some benighted shore, which this
church of ours can best do; that it has
word to speak which thousands in
heather lands are waiting to hear, and
which alone can elicit glad and CRATE
full response from the hearts of those
who listen. And we do we'll to bear in
mind that it is blessing to any church
to have important trusts confded to
it, to have responsibility rolled upon it,
to have abundant and even press of
employment furnished to it's hands,
While, Therefore, we are not to abate in
the least the interest that centers in
present great UNCONVENTIONAL enter
prises, we may and ought to find room, in
the midst of many labors, for any I'M
dertaking looking to the occupancy of
regions upblest by the light and saliva
ton of the gospel of Christ.

Satan. Instruct men to fear the craft,
rather than the force, of malign tempt
ers. Picture their power to charm men
with fascinating revelations. Paint
them as angels, fallen beings once of
light and beauty; their sovereign, Luci-
fer, the light bearer, son of the morn
ing. Open mems eyes to the vision of
this earth as the battle ground of in
visible combatants; make them feel
that the very air is tremulous with the
march of spiritual battalions. With
such faith antecedently fixed, Chris
tian men would inevitably attribute
such things as Spiritualism to Satanic
WiIes.D

IN THE DISCUSSION on the Evan
gelical Alliance at the Methodist Minis
ters' meeting, on Monday, DR.. Boring
came to the front very Unexpectedly
with flat-footed condemnation Of the
sectarian narrowness of the creed of the
Alliance. He remarked that he did
not like that creed because it excluded
the Universalists, and further said
that he knew some Universalists who
were earnestly fighting sin and we
should be much mistaken if he did not
meet them in heaven These were
brave words, considering the environ
ment," and bravely spoken. How the
Methodist brethren received them is
not stated. DR.. Boring evidently knows
how to "speak out in meeting" and
we trust his gift may be frequently
exercised.

The WAY IN WHICH an English
adventist figures out the lend Of the
world" has lately fallen under our no.
tice. We print the exact statement
that our readers may be prepared for
the outcome of his startling prophecies.
1t will be seen that we are now within
thirteen years and three months of the
end of this age and the beginning of
the millennium. Figures from these
sources have not heretofore been reli-
able. The old world continues to "spin
down the running grooves of change"
just as if its destruction had not been
foretold over and over again. This
particular prophet dwells upon the
looming great revolutions, wars and
other calamities" expected before the
descent of Christ at the battle of Ar
mageddon, which latter event he COM
putes to be on the last day of Passover
week, Thursday, April IL, 1901, as be
ing exactly 2345 years from the "going
forth of the commandment to restore
and build jerusalem" issued by King
Artaxerxes and Nehemiah on the last
day of Passover week, B. G. 444-5. He
explains Daniels 9, 300 to reach from B.
G. HIS to the last day of Passover
week in April, 1856, when the Crimean
War Treaty Of Peace "cleansed the
sanctuary" of the Holy Land from Ma
hommedan prosecuting intolerance, and
thence As years excess of the 1886 be-
yond the l ,290) extends to April IL 1901.
But ten years previously-vi by 1891
he maintains the 20 kingdoms of
Caesars Roman Empire are to be
changed into ten, indicated by the ten
toes of Daniels i'm age and the ten horns
the symbolic beast. Hence he predicts
that in 1888 to 1890 France is to con-
quer Germany and make the Rhine the
boundary between them, giving, how
ever, half of Austria north of the Dan
ube to Germany, to compensate it for
the loss of the Rhine provinces. France
is then to form the ten kingdoms con-
federacy Britain, France, Spain, Italy,
Austria, Greece, Egypt, Syria, Turkey,
Bulgaria, by 1891, after which Jerome
Napoleon is to become King of Syria,
give Palestine to the Jews, and become
the great Anti Christ from 1897 to 1901,
-enacting the scenes of the French
Revolution of 1889 to 1915. What is to
become of America and the politics of
the Western continent in these l-fated
years is not mentioned.

IT PERHAPS NEVER occurred to Prof.
Phelps that in this case the cure would
be worse than the disease. Better
Spiritualism, in all it's hayward forms,
than belief in a personal Satan and
an innumerable host of lesser devils
practicing their enormities among the
children of men. Spiritualism, as such,
may be entirely out of the way; but it
emphasizes an angelic ministry and not
a demonology. We are not yet pre-
pared to adopt Prof. Phelps's advice
and go back to the era Of the black arts
in religion. The asserted demonology
of the New Testament is susceptible
of a more rational explanation than to
attribute it to personal Satan. The
world moves, even if Prof. Phelps does

many instances in which the law has
been disregarded, and with no one to
look after the rights of the denomina-
ton or the society, much valuable prop
erty has passed out Of our hands. In
States where Conventions are organ
lied, the property of our parishes should
be vested in the State Convention.
This is the sure precaution to adopt in
all parishes it places the property in
hands which will care for it, and it es-
pecially guards against the evils to
which we have referred, following an
unfaithful stewardship on the part OF
parish trustees.

In the year 1928, the Rev. Robert
Harris, preaching before the judges of AS
size at Oxford, predicted what, indeed,
became true twelve years atterward =
that the Judgment of civil war, then des-
olating Germany, might visit England.
England merited such a scourge, said the
preacher, not on account of the sins of
the king, or of his opponents, not on &C.
count Of the sins of the bishops or of the
Non contormiats, but on account of the
sin common to all parties in Church and
State. This national sin, MI Harris con-
tended was the cruel neglect and i'll usage
of the poor. "Each complains of Others"
said he, "as they did in David's time" He
animadverted on four sorts of gross sim
ners-"corn masters" who hold in corn,
that there is such scarcity; "inclosers,"
who take the commons land to be
their own; "hard landlords" and "mer-
chants" whose sins he specified. Two
hundred and fifty years have now gone
by and there is not much amendment. A
close survey of many of the questions now
uppermost in England will reveal almost
exactly the same condition of things
which this ancient preacher made the
subject of rebuke.

THE LATEST NEWS from Minneapolis
confirms the trust expressed in our last
paper that the destruction of the build
ing of the Church of the Redeemer by
the fire of Jan. Is will not in any de-
gree interfere with the Christian work
and activity of the parish. The trus-
tees held meeting Monday afternoon,
while the ruins were still smouldering
and decided to rent the Grand Opera
House for services until the church can
be rebuilt. Services were held there
last Sunday morning. The church will
be rebuilt in even better shape than
before. The insurance is $52, 900, and
it is thought the old walls can be util-
lied. The Minneapolis people are
cheerful and hopeful Notwithstanding
the recent calamity.
