The Mohammedan emir of Nupe, West
Africa, has sent the following stirring
message to Bishop Crowther, of the Niger
mission: ut Is not long matter; it is
about barasa (rum). Barasa, barasa, ba-
rasa! 1t has ruined our country; it has
ruined our people very much; it has made
our people mad. beg you, Malam Kipo,
don't forget this writiog, because we all
beg that he (Crowther) should beg the
great priests committee of the Church
Missionary society that they should beg
the English queen to prevent bringing
barasa into this land. For God and the
prophets sake-for God and the prophet,
His messengers sake, he must help US in
this matter-that of barasa. We all have
confidence In him. He must not leave our
country TO become spoiled by barasa.
Tell him may God bless HIM in his work

The supreme court of Kansas has decided
the case brought by Jacob L. Hackney, of
Winfield, against the trustees of the Chris.
tan church of that city, to enioin them
from playing an organ in church during
the service. 1t was claimed on behalf of
Mr.. Hackney that at the time the church
organization was perfected there was no
organ or other instrument of music per
mlt5ed to be used by the congregation in
Its worship, and that this was never per-
United until after al organ had been
forced into the church; that he believes
that the introduction and use of the organ
in the worship of the congregation is con
trary to the word of God and sinful. and
that ne and about forty Others of the CON
gregation have always been conscien-
tlously opposed to the introduction of an
organ in their worship; that in
February, 1888, j. M. Vawter was en-
ployed by the congregation as preacher,
and that at the very first opening of di-
vine service held by him an organ was
swung into position, an organist took her
place, and the exercises were opened by
instrumental music. This against the
wishes and protests of Hackney and other
members OF the congregation. The opin-
ION was written by Justice johnson, who
holds that the church cannot legally keep
an organ. Where some of the officers and
members of an independent church forci-
biy lntr1de into the church building and
the public worship therein, and the form
of worship is contrary to the established
and laws of the church, and it

The officers appointed to control the
