ssThey Don't Think
IBY REV. NJ. F. PRITCHARD.


There are a good many don't
thinkers" in the world. For instance,
take the young man who comes to
church and sits just long enough to
hear the text and then jumps up and
goes out. He don't think how bad
it looks and how much it disturbs the
people. And when he stays out I'M
til the service is nearly over, and
then comes back so that all will look
at him, and have the minds of the
people taken from the sermon and
placed upon him, he don't think that
he is imposing upon the rights Of
others. But he is, for we have no
right to take that which belongs to
another. God gives US the time to
go to church and listen. and no one
has any right to deprive US Of that.
But he don't think or he would not
do so. Aud when the congregation
is at prayer the fellow who sits up.
sDits tobacco-juice on the walls and
seats and floor, it being still. so that
you can hear him all over the house,
and smell it, too, when he splits on the
stove. He don't think that he Is do
ing something in Gods house that he
would not dare to do in his neigh.
boris house. Surely we ought to treat
Gods house as well, if not better;
and of course we ought to regard it
more than our neighbours house. We
will if we just think where we are,
People let the church go to ruin just
because they don't think. We say
hasty and cruel things to our breth-
rem and friends sometimes just be-
cause we don't think. The pastor
sometimes feels very badly. His
clothes are shabby and he rides a
very poor horse, or goes afoot some
times just because ibis brethren who
hold him very close to his engage
ments have not thought that they
owe him, and haye not paid him.
And sometimes when they see him
they act very cross, and talk to him
of the pastor who was on the work
just before him. What good, nice
man he was; he had a sleek horse
and good clothing to wear, and when
he went into the pulpit he could
preach, you better believe. You
never heard him making failure
no, sir. And he was such splendid
singer, and so powerful in prayer.
He knew how long a visit to make,
and just What to say, and how to say
it; and he was not always hard up
and-well they don't think that
that it is not bread and meat to you
you have meyer disputed his being
good man, and, indeed, are very
glad it is so. But it is not said for
the purpose of speaking good word
for the late pastor, but for the pur-
pose of keeping the one they are
talking to just where he ought to be.
They don't think it best to be on too
good terms with the pastor, especi-
ally if the preachers be young, for
then if you are pleasant to him it
will make things agreeable for him
and he will just expect it all the time.
Preachers hides ought to be tough.
so they can stand rebukes and not
get hurt. But preachers have no
business to be hurt. pray that we
may all think.

AN INSANE MAN LYNCHED,
Torn From His Family by Wisconsin
Farmers and Strung Up.

Torn From His Family by Wisconsin
Farmers and Strung Up.
The blood stained records of Judge Lynch,s
court do not show q more dastardly crime
than was committed few days ago at Pres
ton, in Trcmpealeau county, Wisconsin
Haps Jacob Olsen, aged fifty years was torn
from his house and lynched by party of
masked men. Olsen was partially insane
and somewhat quarrelsome, AMI had been
ordered by neighbors to leave the country.
He neglected 10 do so and was strung up.
Olsen was seized in bed, pulled out and his
hands tied behind him, despite his desperat,
struggles aud the screams OF the family.
Without even allowing him to put ON his
clothes, the man led him out Of the house.
Ouce outside Olsen learned what was to DO
done with him. He caught site OF now
rope hanging over the limb of a-large tree,
which stands not moro than twenty feet
from the little cabin which was his home.
He struggled to free his hands, tearing the
Il sh from his wrists until they blei freely !;
but finding himself unable to get loose, sub
around his neck and willing hands drew him
up to strangle. His legs were not tied, and
his kicking and struggling was fearful. The
mob remained some time, however, lest he
might be cue down before he was dead. Then
after shouting threats OF lynching any one
who shou dare cut down the body, they
disappeared. Ths coroner's inquest was held
at Preston, ana the following verdict was
rendered: "Deceasei came to his death by
strangulation caused by being hanged by
the neck BY masked persons Unknown"

Mr. Belmont returned the bill to his

taunt. Bryson had taken the candle
and started for the door; the guest fol-

Tho trial OF Alexander Sullivan, n

Jurors have beon secured after an ex-
animation of several hundred mon.
Tho theory Of tho prosecution is that
MI parties were members Of n secret
organization, called "Clan-na-gaol,"'
md that the secret work Of tho So
ciety had been given away by DR..
Csonin, which resulted in his murder
by his follow members. Tho object

ton OF tho Triangle,s doings. So ro-
lontless was their prosecution that
the Triangle for protection denounced

claimed by tho prosecution that tho
