Of my boyhood when | worshipped at my
true altar, mothers knee. AS one
proceeds through an enemy'S country
one notices its defenses and Notifications,
so the child proceeding onward should
learn to steel itself against the foes of
God The juggernaut cars of intemper-
ance, gam bling and evil reading are foes
of the family and the individual, seeking
to crush and destroy those who should
look upward and onward.
One-third of our population Is composed
of those under rwenty-one years of age,
which means that twenty millions of
characters are being moulded in the
school of life; twenty million fields are
ness or of vice. Temptation is no sin,
but yielding to temptation is
sin. Seek to crowd out the
evil thoughts once and the work is done
as the thoughts of youth always remain,
and so it is the duty of parents to keep
the home pure and make it pleasant for
the children in their youthful days.
Preachers do not speak enough on these
texts; they should learn that the imagi-
nation rules the world. In my twenty
years of experience have seen some of
the brightest and uoblest minds go down
In shame and disgrace for want or good
pilot. So to you mothers l would say
guide your children, for in their in
fancy and innocence they are more beau
tiful than the most delicate roses and in
the benediction of their breath in the
words of the Blessed Master, of such is
the kingdom of Heaven"
Mr.. Comstock then dwelt upon the
baneful influences of trashy literature.
In conclusion ne addressed himsnIf to the
young. saying, "One chapter of your
lives is written. You cannot change it.
How are you going to build for the
future, up or down? Will you go to
the gambling hell? to the rnm saloonsP
Will you take from the devlI's printing
press or build on faith and prayer, so that
others seeing your good example will
"glorify your Father who is in Heaven"
And the message would leave you is
BLESSED are the pure in heart for they
shall see God."

According to a confession of one of the

In the meantime the Friendly faction,
being in the majority, easily gained its
point and elected full set of officers,
with the exception of one man, Joseph
Reilly, who secured the purely honorary
position of Second Vice President. Other
wise the ticket was all the Friendly's way.
For several days after the meeting the
losing side kept very quiet. They were
dazed by the shock. They had not yet
rubbed the sand thrown by the other
side. out of their eyes, metaphorically of
course AS consequence the special
meetings OF the two factions to be held on

Societies for the reformation of
funerals are the recent product of
English culture. Reform is wanted
not only in the cost of funerals, the
disuse of Grape and other trappings
of woe but in the length and charac-
ter of sermons, the musical exercises,
the style of coffins and the mode OF
burial. The church authorities have
taken the matter in hand and pro-
pose to work a decided change in
costume and sentiment appertaining
to the disposal of the dead. Rather

was asked if he had anything to say

aster has grieved me more than |
can tell you. 1t came on me like a
thunderbolt in clear sky. | must
positively decline to enter into a

is that the strike did not take place

difficulty has been entirely in the

native and promptly accepted the
terms of the men. Many of them
were besmeared with blood, while
all of them showed signs of exhaus-
ton.
The most shocking deeds were
committed while the prisoners were
being escorted through the streets.
AS the men passed along they were
kicked and thrown down. They
begged for mercy, some of them had
pistol shot wounds in their head and
three were seen with their eyes
shot out. Several were shot in the
shoulders, arms and legs and could
hardly limp along Blood was run
ming in streams down their shirts
and they fairly yelled with pain.
Fully thirty injured men were taken
to the town hall. One of them had
his eyes punched out by an umbrella
in the hands of woman. Sand was
thrown in their eyes and they were
hit by clubs and other missiles.
Many were knocked down with clubs,
and some were too weak to walk
when they started for the town hall.
the mill men used the stocks of their
rifles and struck the detectives over
The head inficting serious and in
some cases fatal wounds.
There seemed to be a determina-
ton to kill the prisoners and it was
with great difficulty the demon-like
crowd could be restrained. The
men were finally locked up in the
opera house where they were to be
kept over the night. A crowd ga
thered around the building, wound
ed men were kept in constant state
of terror and it was long before their
wounds could be dressed. After
the prisoners had been released from
the barges the rioters had their re-
venge. They carried oil into the
holds, poured it over bedding and
and furniture and then set it on fire.
Since the departure of the detec-
tives, there has been little of interest
to report, Homestead being quiet
and in possession of the men. There
has been no destruction of property.
