Tor there are some things we can see
better with eyes shut than Open-the
scenes of that ancient war came before
me. The Twelfth century was closing
and Saladin, ut the head of eighty
thousand mounted troops, was crying
''Ho for Jerusalem! Ho for all paies
tine!" and before them everything
went down, but not without unparal
leled resistance. In one place one
hundred and thirty Christians were
surrounded by many thousands Of furi
Gus Mohammedans. For one whole
dav the one hundred and thirty held
out against these thousands.
Tennyson's six hundred when
''some one had Numbered" were
eclipsed by these one hundred and
thirty fighting for the holy cross. They
took hold of the Iances which had pierced
them with death wounds, and pulling
them out of their own breasts and sides
hurled them back again at the enemy.
On went the fight until all but one
Christian had fallen, and he, mounted
on the last horse, welded his battle ak
right and left till his horse fell under
the plunge of the javelin, and the rider,
making the sign of the cross toward
the sky, gave up his life on the point
of a score of spears. But soon after
the last battle came. History portrays
it, poetry chants it, painting colors it,
and all ages admire that last struggle
to keep in possession the wooden cross
on which Jesus was said to have ex-
PRED 1t was battle in which min
gled the fury of devils and the graadss

WHERE JACOB DIGGED A WELL.
But here we found ourselves at
Jacobs well, the most famous well in
history, most distinguished for two
things, because it belonged to the old
patriarch after whom it was named.

Christ said, seated on this well curb, to
the Samaritan woman. We dismount
from our horses in drilling rain, and
our dragoman climbing up to the well
over the slippery stones, stumbles and
frightens us all by nearly falling into it.

found it six feet from edge to edge.
Some grass and weeds and thorny
growths overhang it. In one place the
roof is broken through Large stones

But look up from this famous well
and see two mountains and the plain
between them, on which was gathered
the largest religious audience that ever
assembled on earth, about five hundred
thousand people. Mount Gerizim,
about eight hundred feet high, on one
side, and on the other Mount Ebal, the
former called the Mount of Blessing
and the latter called the Mount of
Cursing. At Joshua's command six
tribes stood on Mount Gerizim and
read the blessings for keeping the law,
and six tribes stood on Mount Ebal
reading the curses for breaking the law,
while the five hundred thousand peo-

emphasis that must have made the

The Republican Candidate for Super.
intendent Of Public Instruction.

1t is what the book calls tautOlogy to
write that Orr Schurtz is German, because
the nationality sticks out all along that
name. 1t is the same stuff to say that he is
an educated man, from district school to
university, when it is written that he is q
candidate for the superintendency of public
instruction on the republican ticket, because
nobody without this training would aspire
to the position. He is not quite 81 years
old, but has run the gamut of pedagogical
position and is now secretary of the Eaton
county board of school examiners. He
frequently writes articles on school topics,
and is regarded as a leader i'm his line of
business-managing teachers and directing
schools. He proposes, il elected, to give
his time largely to the primary schools,
claiming that the normals, high schools and
colleges are about perfect, and will devote
his whole time to his public duties. He is a

the Owosso fair about o'clock last Wednes-
day night to find hor house full Of neighbors

their appearance during their absence. All

When man of a neighb0ring town goes

their merchants Is, ''Where are you going to

when goods and work can be obtained here

EASTER SUNDAY.

The observance of Easter Sunday
at the three churches was very appro-
priately and successfully carried out,
to an extent somewhat more elabo-
rate than in former years. At the
Congregational church the morning
hour was filled with a responsive ser
vice, led by the superintendent; mu-
sic and recitations, together with a
short sermon by the pastor formed a
part of the exercises The front of
desk and platform was very hand
somely decorated with potted plants
and cut flowers. A collection for home
missionary cause was taken. The
evening service was a bible reading.
At the Methodist church the after
noon service was opened by the pas
tor, when the superintendent took
charge and the Sunday-school pre-
sented an Easter exercise, with nu-
merous recitations by the little folks.
A collection for missions was taken,
which with sums brought forward by
members of several classes, brought
the missionary collection for the year
from the two charges up to $71. The
church was decorated with plants
and notices. The pastor presented
an Easter sermon in the evening
At the Universalist church Rev.
Miss Kingsbury presented an appro-
pirate sermon in the morning In
the evening the Sabbath-school gave
an Easter concert, consisting of reci-
tations and responsive readings with |
music led by the choir.
