TkINITY M. E. CHURCH.

Rev. Dr. Reed Talks About the Atroc-
 tty of Slander.
 Rev. D. Reed, pastor of the Trinity M. E. church, preached sermon last night the subject of which was IA good mans mis- take or the atrocity of slander" He took his text from the 116th psalm, 11th verse; '' | said in my haste all men are liars.n This psalm, he said, refers to the revelation of human heart when it was in rare trial and despair. If the royal David did in his despair charge all men with being false, the reading of the whole psalm will show that he was man enough later to take it back. There are men that are liars, but thank God all men are not so. There are many men in the world who like David make insinuations against all men reversing that old law maxim "all men are innocent until proved guilty" and making all men guilty until their innocence has been proved. There never has been an age when there was so much honor among men as this latter end of the nineteenth cen- tury, when mans word and life goes for so much. The newspapers profess to give the history of the world for day. They don't give you but small part and that largely relates to the crime and evil in the world.
 Why. l bought newspaper yesterday-I won't say which one it was-hoping to see something about the doings of the Methodist conference, but not one word did find; but there were several full columns giving the scores of the professional base ball games for the day. stranger to our country would say you sixty millions of people are doing nothing but playing ball. No wonder people who read nothing but the papers so full of the dark side of human nature get the idea we are going down to death. To-day if the newspapers attempted to give the good that is being done every daily in all the great cities could but give us an account of very small part.
 By request next Sunday evening Dr. Reed will preach sermon to young women. His subject will be ssThe Kings Daughters,n largely on woman's duty to woman.

The Saloons Generally Closed and Sun.
 day Drinkers Ramed.
 ST. LOUIS, May 20.-To-day was the first real test Of the Sunday closing law and St. Louis was dry to all intents and purposes. There were about forty arrests and the saloons were closed at once except in a few cases where the proprietors insisted in defy ing the police. The result was the arrest on 6 second and in some cases on third charge Indeed, the officers kept close watch on such cases and as soon as the doors were reopened the proprietors were again arrested One man was persistent enonsh to subject himself to five arrests. The fine of $50 is very light compared with the loss of the license. The brewers and saloon keepers organization notified the dealers that it would be wise to comply with the law since the State Supreme court had decided that 1t ap- piled in all it's force to St. Louis.
