ism In the nineteenth century. 1t is un-

Il tue resurrection with the ever present
expression of temporal loss. 1t is cruel. il

false outward show of changes in sentiment.

private affairs upon public notice; it thrusts
claims OF fashion and frivolity upon a time

depths of being; and 1t forces its superficial
worldliness into the fiercest throes which
can ever rend human nature. Why then do
we stllI wear mourning?

DIR. Horton on Public Schools.

The Rev. Francis A. Horton, ID. d.,
preached at the Union Congregational
Church last evening upon 1.-The Public
Schools, the Crown OF Our Christian Civ
ilization." The mind, he said, is the i'm
mortal aud most important part Of all,
and worldly success, and happiness
are dependent upon IL. Character
aud mind are intimately associated.
On the character depends the glorious full
filment of the functions of the mind.
The public school, the developer of the
mind, should also be an infallible moral
guide. The plea OF MANY independent
thinkers that the use OF the Bible Ia the
public schools is an infringement of re-
ligious freedom. has driven the good book
out OF our public institutions Of learning.
The elimination Of religious training in
public schools has brought out the pa
rochial school. The division Of the school
fund has brought the parochial school
into competition with the public school,
but being inferior i'm point OF instruction,
Tue parochial school can never succeed.
There will be no return to prs-reforma-
tion conditions.

At the First Baptist Church last even

courses on christianity and religion. The
subject of the discourse was christianity

Hebrews viii 10, II will put my laws
into their mind ard with them In their
hearts; and / will be to them God, and
and they shall be TO me people,"

IL it were not so we would be false to the
PRINCIPLES of our Baptist fathers They
were pioneers in the field of religious lib
erty. You all know that Roger Williams
was banshed from Massachusetts, on ac-
count of the stand he took in the prlnci-
plies OF free religious worship. The per-
sistence of the Bapiists secured the pass
ing of the constitutional amendment in
1901, assuring religious freedom, and that
has been nominally the law OF the land
since. L say nominally because every
time public money has been devoted Tor
sectaran purposes, this amendment has
been violated, and of late so great has be-
come this evil that league OF protection
has been organized among American
citizens"
The church cannot make laws Tor the
It te, yet both the church and the citizens
are in the state Good government can
only be secured through the watchful ac-
tivity Of good citizens. Shrinking from
active interest in the abuses OF the land
only tend to produce greater corruption.
The indifference of American citizens
when brought face TO face with these
questions is amazing. Corruption will go
down before the opposition OF respectable
stt n
tinually ignored, liquor saloons are open
at illegal hours, gambling dens and
houses of ill-fame flourish and corruption
at the polls is being continually practiced.

Missionary Work by w. G. T. U. In Har-

Missionary Work by w. G. T. u. in Har-
rison street Engine station.
A temperance service was held in the
engine station on Harrison street yester-
day, beginning at 2 o'clock and lasting
ninety minutes. 1T was under the au-
spices of the Railroad and Firemen 3
Branch Of the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union and was the second held
in this engine house. Another will be
held next Sunday.
The services are in charge of Mrs. A. J..
Winshir, local administrator of the
branch, assisted by such other ladies Of
the branch who may accompany her.
At the meeting yesterday there were
present besides the firemen several of the
residents of the neighborhood, the total
perhaps numbering twenty-four.
The services began with the singing of
the hymn Onward Christian Soldier"
and the reading by Mrs. Winship Of the
then offered and the hymn Precious
Promise God Hath Given" was sung.
Mrs Winship then called up a few
children from the Hammond street school
who recited "The Discovery of the New
World" and again. the dialogue entitled
"Our Flag"
The address was delivered by Miss
III.
She spoke Of the proceedings at the re-
cent national convention in Denver, of
the long years Of work done by the women
in the cause Of temperance, and the pres
ent aims and methods Among these the
most important is that of educating the
children, in the day and Sunday schools,
in the truths Of the use of liquor and to-
bacco, rather than making any strenu-
GUS attempt to reform the liquor seller
or the confirmed drunkard. She also de-
told how the task OF erecting so great a
building had been successfully accom-
plished.
Mrs. Nichols was followed by another
lady. a member of the union, who said
she would not speak in the name of the
union but of the Lord Jesus. She made
an earnest appeal to the firemen to be
always temperance men and paid them a
tribute for withstanding as they did the
temptation to drink, which in the exer.
else OF their calling would seem to be
especially near them.
Similar meetings in the engine houses
have been held in the Three Ones and the
Richmond street stations, and will prob
ably be held in each one during the
winter. Three services have been held in
each or continuous Sundays. The en-
varied in program as possible. Mrs
Winship told the firemen yesterday that
the services for than were not because
