As though a man need walk down his pulpit steps to find horrible example. I read in the Book that when Jesus of Nazareth, who used to preach in the street, wanted to find his "horrible ex- amples," he went into the Temple to look for them. And there he found them. He used to dine in the slums now and then at least the best people in good society charged him with it-but the only time he scourged anybody was when he whip ped a lot of brokers and exchangers out of the sacred precincts of the Temple, which he accused them of turning into a den of thieves. I am afraid we look in the wrong places to find the worst peo- pie. About the greatest sin of which we find man or woman to be guilty is to be different from ourselves. Many people who would recoil with horror from cut ting human creatures throat, which really does not hurt very much and only lasts moment, will murder 8 woman's good name without remorse or compunct- ion; and that hurts worse than death for a life time.-[ Robert J. Burdette in La dies Home Journal.

The Real Columbus.

New light is thrown on the mysterious career of Columbus by the article of Eugene Lawrence in April Harper's. He ranks him "a master intellect among men," but shows him to have been a pi- rate in his earlier manhood and slave dealer in his American career. So doubt full is his origin that it is not certainly known whether he was Greek, Italian or Jew or whether his real name was Co., lumbus or Griego. But it is known that he was cast ashore in the battle off Cape St Vincent by the burningsof his pirate ship by the Venetians, whose richly lad en fleet the pirates captured, but were soon compelled by France to surrender. Columbus, a storm beaten pirate sail or of 60, settled at Lisbon, where, MT Lawrence is led to believe, he formed his plans of discovery from charts and writ ings left him by pilot, who, with few surviving seamen of a caravel driven out of it's course on a voyage from Spain to England, returned from the American continent, which he unwittingly discov- cred. AS to the exact land which Colum- bus first discovered, an honor claimed by Turks Island, Cat or San Salvador, Watling's and Samana, the English fa- vor Watling's, but Mir Lawrence thinks the point still unsettled. Columbus des- cribed the island as Every large and has green trees and abundance of water. There is very large lagoon in the midst of it, but no hills and all is covered with verdure most pleasing to the eye" Of the primal discoverer, MT Lawrence says, His falsehoods, his fierce bursts of rage, his avarice, his revenge, his wild ambi- tion, his pious frauds, his fanatical faith can never be forgotten. His cry was everywhere for gold. He was always the buccaneer; he was always a slave trader. He made slaves wherever he went. La Casas thought the sickness and pains that fell upon Columbus 8 judgment for the woes he had inflicted upon the helpless Indians" But, after painting Columbus in darkest colors, MT Lawrence recalls the boundless profiiga- cy and cruelty of that time and thinks Columbus to have been in advance of his age; he merely shared the semi-barba- rism of his contemporaries. The article of Mir Lawrence is worthy of wide atten- tion.

A novel and interesting entertainment was given in the parlors of the First Methodist church on Thursday evening, March 24, under the management of Miss Clara M. Cushman, a returned mission ary from China, who is the originator and organizer of the Cushman bands, a missionary organization of young ladies for the furtherance of missionary work in China. One of the attractive features of the evenings entertainment was the representation of an ideal Chinese school, with George s. Hawley as 'Lao Hsien Sheng'' teacher. The teacher and schol- ars received we'll merited applause for the truly admirable manner in which they executed the respective parts as signed them, which was as nearly realis- tic as was possible without the native characters. A mandolin and guitar quartet was excellently we'll rendered by George s. Hawley, Albert Clark, Will Clark and Will Beach, which was receiv- ed with tremendous applause and re- :sponded to to the delight of the large au- dience present.
 A vocal solo, aJack's Wedding Morn, 7 was beautifully rendered by George S.. Hawley and we'll received by the audi ence; in fact, the whole program was faultlessly rendered and altogether, in cluding Miss Cushman's description of the work in China, was both highly en- tertaining and instructive.
