YEA. VERIFY.

Last Sunday was 'Children's day" In
the course of an address in a certain city
of Kansas a well known minister and
Sunday school organizer made the fol-
lowing remarks:
The Sunday school is a great thing.
About 100 years ago there was no such "A
a thing as Sunday school But on this
beautiful sabbath morning the same Sun
day school lesson is being studied and re
cited in every part of the globe. Go TO
san Francisco and you viii find them
studying the international lessons. Go TO
China and they are studying the Interua-
tional lessons. Come to Rome and Egypt
and they are studying the international
lessons. Come back to the New England
states and they are studying the Iuterna-
ti0nal lessons. And there are even some
people studying the international lessons
at Wichita.
The last sentence contains a significant
truth: but it Is doubtful if it could be
applied to any other city Of the first class
in the state except. perhaps. Kansas City.
The others don't have time TO study Sun
day school lessons or anything else ex-
cept how to beat the original package de-
cision, or certain candidate for GER
tain office. Yes. Wichita draws IN the
wanderings of her mind from the s0rdid
things of time. on Sunday, and spends
the day in getting some of the good that
Is impaired thereby to the upright in

A STRAINED INTERPRETATION.

! While the citizens of Fort Worth were
/ deploring the fiery destruction of their
beautiful Spring Palace the Rev. William
! B. Allen, pastor of the Cumberland Pres
byterian church at Longview, Texas,
preached a sermon to them, in which he
said that the wreck of the magnificent
structure was a Just punishment sent by
the Almighty to rebuke the people for
their sins. The reverend gentleman
said:
We deeply sympathise with Fort Worth
in the loss of her charming palace. 1t was
a thing of rare beauty and to Texas her
chief exponent of internal resources. There
is no true Texan but regrets that cOntia-
grafton. Yet, to me, it resembles the
angry expression of an insulted PrOvi-
dence. Fort Worth has sustained a repu
tatiOn above any other city in Texas as a
Christian city. Her hospitality to ali
Christian people in the past is uneXcelled.
She viii entertain anything. The tower
ing spires of magnificent church houses,
costing $50, 600. more fully attest her APP
probation OF that which is good and right.
Christian people are proud of Fort Worth.
But, in the face of this reputation and just
following the sCathing rebukes OF the So
cial dance as administered by Dixon
Williams. Sam Jones, the local pastors.
and in opposition to the desire of every
loyal Christian among her citizens, there
are gathered hundreds of iight-hearted
souls to mar the glory of that palace and
change her glory into revelry. just as the
reVel was to begin. ike BelchaZZar $ cham
Der. there appeared a handwriting on the
wall 1t was in characters OF ire, and with
the speed of fame in dry stubble the pride
and glory not only of Fort Worth but of
all Texas was swept away.
No right thinking person viii deny
that it IS the duty as well as the pre-
rogatIye Of the minister of the gospel to
rebuke sin and reprove the sinner in a
specific as we'll as in a general way, vet
nobody who is not himself fanatic will
approve Of such an outbreak OF fanatical
cant. as that quoted above. Holy writ
saws in so MANY words that there is a
time to dance and a time to make merry.
and if the occasion the reverend gentle
man so harshly inveighed against in the
above was not such time. then we and
everybody else is atloss to conceive of an
occasion when 1t would be admissible
for the people to thus make merry.
But the Texas papers have taken up
his text, and are preaching him sermons
which he is not like to forget The Fort
Wort Worth Gazette SAYS that his COM
ments are an insult to the intelligence of
the nineteenth century and foul inius-
tice 10 the Christian people who were as
semhIed at the palace Friday night to hear
the music and admire the decorations.
Mr.. Allen may be q good man. and
perhaps he means well; but when lac I'M
derstakeS TO interpret Divine Providence
in this way, it strikes Us that he Is going
little too far. and he evidently deserves
the scathing rebuke which the Christian
people OF Fort Worth have administered.

1t becomes more and more evident
that the recent spasmodic advance in
cotton has SO largely reduced the short
interest as to leave the market now
ultimately dependent upon the legiti-
mate demand for the staple. In some
cases American mills have disposed of
their summer supply at handsome
profit over cost, and have shut down
until September, claiming that they can
make money by this plan, while they
would lose by spinning cotton into goods
at the present prices for the manufac-
tured article The staple is quoted at

The Newfoundland war is not likely to
be more than a controversy of words.
France enjoys the fishery privileges,
against which the Observation-Disclosures are
protesting, by virtue of an old treaty
with England, and she evidently means
to maintain her rights to the possession
at all hazards. The people of Newfound-
land are hardy fishermen, but theirisland
is isolated and defenseless. They have
neither the numbers nor the munitions
of war to enable them to achieve indie
pendence or TO wage successful resistance
to French entertainments. England is
not inclined to dispute France too vigor-
ousIy III the matter. There will be much
diplomatic negotiation, and the unhappy
Observation-Disclosures will find themselves
forced to submit, for a long time atleast,
without redress.
