SUNDAY THOUGHTS
ON
MORALS MANNERS
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH. ]
BY A CLERGYMAN.

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcH.1
One of the crying evils of the day is the
tendency OF our city churches to build them
selves up on the basis of individual name
and reputation.
Think over the churches in this city.
You say CDR. This's Church" "Dr. That's
Church." "The Rev. Mr.. The-Other's
Church." The church is named after the
man rather than the cause.
This it is which sets so many parishes
running after crazy quilt" preachers. They
must have men in the pulpit whose in
dividuality juts, so that the church may catch
the popular ear and be able to auctioneer of
the pews. The result is the Transformation of
the church member into religious tramp. He
goes about from church to church llike GER
tain character mentioned in the Scriptures)
seeking whom and what he may devour.
Many people nowadays want not the Gospel
of Jesus Christ, but the gospel of novelty-the
Greek gospel Of the last new thing. Hence the
craving for religious stimulants; which. old
topper fashion, must be stronger and stronger as
indulgence proceeds, until at last even red pep
per loses its bite.
The Romish and the Episcopal Churches set
an excellent example in this matter. Their
churches memorable some dead saint who has
earned his canonization. The living oflciator
at the altar is sunk in the cause he serves. The
congregation attend divine service for worship,
not for entertainment. So the pulpit is not
hypertrophied, and the pews are not dys-
Peptic.
This could and should be the case in every
church. If people want amusement, there is
the theater: or music, there is the concert; or
information, there is the library; or gossip,
there is the club or the card party. Let it be
understood that the church is not a circus. but
a house OF prayer, frequented not by sensa-
tion seekers, but the abode of the devout who
get there strength for daily tasks and Christian
helpfulness

in his attempt for libertyas though Ephraim
were making 1t by his instigation. So, in
stead of torlnenting him with useless admo-
nitions, he kept his eyes and ears open; his
knowledge Of life had taught him that good
advice is oftener neglected than followed,
and that personal experience is the only ir-
refragable master.
Very soon his practiced eye dscerned the
path BY which Ephraim might escape if
only fortune favored him. He gently spoke
his name and then his nephew softly re-
piled "Uncle. I can unite the cord if you
put out your hands; mine are Free"
At this Joshua's anxious face grew bright
er. This bold-spirited youth was good fell
low at heart; he was ready to risk his own
success for the sake Of an older man who, if
he escaped with him, might only too proba-
bly, hinder him in the path which, in his
youthful illusion, he hoped might lead him
to fortune.

AN lKPuL TURKEY cHlss.


Youths ComDanion.i
The wild turkey is famous runner, and
relies more upon his legs than upon his
wings when pursued. When the birds are
found upon the open prairie, therefore, the
chase, Tor q man on horseback, becomes
really exciting. Colonel Dodge says that in
Texas, many years ago, he used occasionally
to kill them with 3 stick from horseback.
A hOck being discovered on prairie two or
three miles across, q detour was made, and
the horseman, coming mp from the wood,
rushed with yell at the birds, Tightening
them 50 badly that some would hy to the
open prairie.
The first aight was from 400 to 600 wards.
depending on the weight and fatness Of the
bird. Alighting. be ran at full speed. At
the end Of his first fight he would prob
ably be 200 or 800 yards ahead Of the horse
man. bot this distance was soon lesssued
after he alighted.
On the near approach Of bis pursusr. he
would essay another fight, this time
scarcely 100 or 200 yards. A third fieht
generally finished all wing business, and
his further efforts at escape were confined 10
running and dodging. A stick four feet
long and IS large g ones finger was carried
BY the hunter, and as the turkey turned 70
avoid the horse, Q smart blow on the head .
finished its life and the race. In tins way
one day killed two turkeys, and = brother
officer three, from one flock.
Some days after, another officer from the
same post went out riding With his wife.
Coming on flock Of turkeys in favorable
position, he proposed that they should catch
one.
After an exciting chase, fine, large bird
was run down 90 that he could scarcely move
and confined himself solely to avoiding the
feet Of the horses
The officer had no stick to kill with, and
in h1s excitement, thinking be could easily
catch bird 50 exhausted, he sprane from
his horse and took after the turkey on foot
he ran his best, hut the bird ran Just fast
enough 10 avoid his clutch, and finally,
when utterly blown and exhausted, he gave
up the chase, be turned TO see his horse dis
appearing in the distance, and his wife On
her horse in full pursuit OF the runaway.
He bad to walk about eight miles 70 the
post. and for some months it was not quite
safe to say turkey TO him.

The Bible, as someone has pointed out. is full
of transformations: One series leading down.
ward, beginning with the metamorphosis of
Eden into blighted desert: the other leading
upward, eliminating in the changesof sim
scorched earth into heaven Of light and glory.
Toward the one or the other OF these, we are
all contributing; nay, the descendingS or the
ascending series we are all illustrating. Saul
was transformed from q giant into pigmy,
from q saint into sinner. The son Of Isaac
was transformed from Jacob into Israel-from
a swindler into an honest man. Judas was
transformed from q disciple into betrayer.
Paul was transformed from persecuter into
an apostle.
And we-are we going downward or upwar :. :
Do we grow narrower. more selfish, Of the
earth earthly, as years paesf or Is our path like
the path Of the Just, shining more and more
untothe perfect dayf Sunday is good day
some questions concerning our present state
and future destiny One thing is certain-if we
want to get into heaven hereafter, we must get
heaven in us here.
The Preachers Popularity.
A Baptist minister, preaching on recent oc-
casion before State convention, took his
theme, spiritual-mindedness. as set forth in
Romans viii s, and enforced the truth with
much fervor and point Speaking Of the lack
of this quality. which is SO general he applied
it to the calling Of ministers by the people, say
ing plainly: You get minister that you
want, and then confirmed it by the testimony
of light in another denomination. One Of
the Methodist Bishops said: MANY churches
send to me saying. Bishop, we want man that
shall be popular with the young people
Others say, we want man that shall be pop
ular with sinners Others, We want minis
ter who will be popular with everybody But
no one ever sent to me and said, We want .
preacher who is popular p5 with S5 G1d When hen
State and the world. We must ask for this
spiritual mind.

heard, the whip cracked here and there on
bare shoulders, few yells Of anguish rose
through the morning air, and the file of
prisoners went of toward the east. The
chains on the victims feet stirred up the
dust, which shrouded the wanderers, as grief,
and hatred, and dread, clouded each separ-
ate soul among them.
On they went, bent in gloomy brooding;
only Joshua held his head erect. It was a
comfort to him to know that Kasana, the
sweet creature he had loved as child, was
innocent of his fate; and when his spirit
sank within him he could revive it by re-
peating to himself the words of Moses:
i'Steadfast and Strong"

legiate of retrospective mind, to sit down
some evening before glowing fire. and
through the wreaths ofsmoke from the curl
ing pipe, recall the old classmates as they
were and as they are. The brightest boy in
my class, one whose future any one would
have discounted on leading to fame and
fortune, is to-day dying a hopeless mental
and physical wreck, and has for years been
a .reproach to his family. The dulIest,
sleepiest, altogether most unpromising one of
the lot, whom We picked out for career as
teamster, is one OF the leading architects Of
the country.
Our best Latin and Greek scholar is to-
day a pork-packer. The most pious boy of
our crew, who seemed destined for the
church, is a successful actor. One whom
knew very well was intended for lawyer,
and is now a quarry man and contractor.
Another, who could not address ten words
to the class without stammering in confu-
sion, is one Of the most eloquent OF our pub
lie men. And 90 il runs-the tWig gives

| heard him grinding his teeth-or was it that
some mice hadwandered out to this parched
spot covered with dry brown grass, between
salt plains on the one side and bare sand
on the other, and were gnawing the prison
er's hard bread? This grinding and gnaw-
ing must disturb the sleep even of those
who most desire it, and Joshua, on the con-
trary, wished to keep awake that he might
open the eyes of his blinded nephew. But
he waited in vain for any sign Of life on
Ephraim's part
At last he was about to lay his hand on
the boys shoulder, but he paused as he saw
in the moonlight that Ephriam was holding
up his arm, although, before he lay down,
his wrist had been tied more tightly than
before. Joshua now understood that the
noise which had puzzled him was the gnaw-
ing of the lads sharp teeth as he worked at
the knot of the cords; so he sat up and
looked first at the sky and then round about
him. He held his breath as he watched
the young fellow, and his heart throbbed
painfully-Ephriam meant to escaped He

low him, but dreaded lest the fugitive might
set forth in the wrong direction. This boy
was the only child of his sister, fatherless
and motherless orphan, so he had never had
the advantage of those numberless lessons
and hints which only mother can give,
and which proud young spirit will take
from none else. Strangers hands had
trained the young tree, and it had grown
straight enough; but mothers love would

WHERE is MY YANKEE BLADE ?

In answer to many inquiries, as TO
why ''my Yankee Blade don't come
we repeat what we have already said.
Since the rush Of subscriptions, at the
first of the year was over, we have or
dered club papers only on the first and
middle OF each month. One or two
subscriptions to the Blade were taken
before the 10Th of February only, so
we sent no subscriptions to that paper
till March Sd. 1t usually takes about
10 TO IA days to get names entered on
the subscription books of any metro
politan papers, especially magazines
and story papers, so we shall not be
surprised if our subscribers do not get
the Blade till Saturday or Monday
next, but in ALL cases they will re-
ceive full years subscription from
the date of the first paper received.
Now please all remember and not ex-
pect to hear from any club paper or
dered till from 3 to 10 days 9fter the
first or the middle of the month follow
ing the time the subscription is sent.
We do this club business free for our
subscribers, ask no profit, but give our
time freely and are responsible for the
safe arrival OF the paper ordered so no
one need be alarmed. The Boston jour
nal, Tribune and Mirror and Farmer
usually come in 3 to 5 days after the
first or middle of each month.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

President Harrison, following the
custom of his predecessors, Immediate
ly after taking the official oath, by
which act he became President of the
United States, delivered his inaugural
message in the presence of the immense
throng gathered at the East front of
the Capitol A special interest attach
es to the first message of new presi-
dent as it is supposed to outline the pol
icy of the incoming administration. 1t
may be a meaningless document or an
honest expression of purpose. We are
inclined to judge such document by
what we know of the character of the
man who utters it. There are reasons
to suppose that Mr.. Harrison outlines
a policy that he intends to pursue. His
general course and his independence of
character leads to the belief that he
will do nothing for buncombe. 1t is
curious to read the various opinions of
the newspapers upon the message. We
find in them a good outline map of hui
man prejudices. The message is not
long. There are some things of which
no mention is made in it. 1t is not a
partisan document. Political oppo-
nents can find no fault with the senti-
ments expressed. They may belittle
them, call them platitudinous, and all
that, but they can find nothing in it to

In recent case in Windsor county
the Supreme court has decided that sell
ing sweet cider at a place of public re-
sort is illegal, and a woman was SEN
fenced for five first offences, Judge
Veazey delivered the opinion of the
court. He held that the prohibition of
the statute applied to cider the same as
to intoxicating liquors, if the sale is in
a place Of public resort. Section $500
of the Revised Laws says, mo person
shall sell or furnish cider or fermented
liquor at or in yictualing house, tav
ern, grocery, shop, cellar, or other
place of public resort, and in section
1902, where the penalty is fixed, it
reads, if person shall "furnish or give
away intoxicating liquor or cider in
violation of law" The intent of the
law seemed clear to the court. AS to
what constitutes place of public re-
sort, this must be determined by the
facts presented. If it is known that ci-
der or liquor, is sold or given away at
any place, dwelling place or otherwise,
and persons are in the habit of resort
ing TO such places for the purpose of
drinking, it becomes a place Of public
resort, within the meaning of the law.
This decision must go far in the settle
ment of the vexed cider question. 1t
may be working things down pretty
fine to prosecute for selling sweet cider,
but it too often happens that one small
sin of this kind is made to cover a null
titude Of large sins.

The Argus is usually well proof-read.
In Harrison's Inaugural, however, the
compositor made singular mistake,
and it escaped the eye of the proof read
er. In the part which treats of the ma
tion's progress we read, ''and the new
census, about to be taken, will show
another stride occupied seat at the
right of the presiding efficer," ETC., for
four or five lines. A printer will un-
derstand that it is case of mixed copy,
in the make up of the forms. We may
not have noticed this had we not notic-
ed the same error in copy of the mes
sage sent us by the American Press As
sociation printed from plates. At first
we thought the Argus must have used
the same plates, but then we remember
ed that that paper was not friendly to
any such cheap arrangement as plate
matter, and so we concluded that the
Press Association copy was used by the
Argus compositors. Are we correct?
