Our Schools.

The trustees of eur Public Schools are
exhibiting a commendable interest in the
improvement of the schools. They have
employed five teachers for the Graded
School for term of nine months. They
have been careful in the selection of teach,
ers and have endesvored to get the best
they could. They have also started a
movement towards the erection of a new
school building. This they consider a
necessity.
While we are heartily in favor of any
movement which will add to the useful
ness of our schools, we cannot agree
with those who regard the new school
building as necessity, or consider The
old building nuisance. We would like
to see the very best building we could get
for school purposes, located in the most
convenient and best adapted place in the
town. While we hear threats of con-
domination of the present building by the
County superintendent OF Schools, we are
more amused than frightened by such
talk. We know the Superintendent
would not risk his reputation as a school
officer by any such action. Considering
accessibility. location, size of rooms,

ability to the purposes intended. the
school building at Woodstock IS to-day
the best graded school building in Shen-

furniture, it may be inferior to all the
others.
Our Town Council have ordered an
election to take place on Tuesday, Aug.
22d, when the prOperty.hOlders shall vote
on the proposition to borrow $1,000 or
less, for the purpose of building new
school house. the bonds to be at per cent.

the borrowing of said sum cannot in
crease the rate of taxation, because the
rate DOW is as high as it can be under tue

MEMORIAL SERMON


Preached to the Odd Fellows by Rev.
johnson ofthe North street Church.
At half past ten o'clock yesterday
morning, Rev. n. p. Johnson, pastor Of
the North Street NJ. Z. Church, preach
ed a mastery sermon to the Odd Eel
lows OF Wheeling. The eight lodges OF
the city were represented. Before
time for the exercises, the church be-
came crowded, and many additional
seats were necessary 10 accommodate
the assemblage.
The Order, composed OF over three
hundred members, marched from the
hall to the church, headed by brass
band. The middle OF the church was
reserved for the lodges, but so many
turaed out that even this space was not
adequate.
Rev. E. A. Robb, a supernumerary
from the Kansas NJ. +. Conference, &C.
cupied the pulpit, with Rev. Johnson,
and made a touching closing invoca-
ton.
To open the exercises the band played
. beautiful and appropriate hymn, the
choir led the singing, and Rev. Johnson
prayed earnestly for Supreme guidance.
The text was, "Bear ye one anOther's
burdens" from Galatians, the sixth
chapter and second verse. The opening
of the discourse concerned the Odd Fell
lows, and on this subject Rev. johnson
said: "Your Order is not religious
organization; your mission does not ex-
tend to spiritual needs. While You are
very far from claiming churchly priyi-
leges, you believe in Supreme
Being, aud no person can be ad-
United as member of your
Order, who does not acknowledge this.
In your Order, the rich, the poor, the
high and the low meet as brothers.
Charity Is practically exempliied. To
relieve the distressed, and to protect
the widow are duties faithfully per-
formed. You have in your various ju
risdictions expended, during the year
ending last September, SO, 142, I3l. 90.
and since 1880, S57,449,S7.5 You
have adopted a simple creed, which all
mankind can believe, and you have
forged q mystic chain which can bind
that mankind together.
Gas you lay no claims to churchly
privileges, and as your friendship and
benevolence takes is Inspiration from
Gods word, we take it that you advise
your people to find spiritual food in the
churches.
'You have not come here to-day ex-
pecting me to enlarge on the grandeur
OF your Order, but TO show you how, in
the name of God, you may live with
conscience void Of offense, and TO show
you how you may come down to the
moment of death with hope"
The sermon proper was composed Of
seven proposit ons, and proving them
was done in an excellent manner. 1t
YVES shown that 10 burden ourselves
wit the faults, difficulties, dangef, pow
erty and wretshedness Of others there

SHOULD METHODISTS BOYCOTT TIE
FAIR?
The Question Discussed by Rev. A. Ii.
RIker Yesterday.

The Question Discussed by Rev. A. Ii.
RIker Yesterday.
At the Fourth Street NJ, e. Church
Yesterday morning Rev DR.. A. B. Riker
discussed the Sunday opening Of the
Worlds Fair from the Methodist stand
point He spoke Of the Importance Of
maintaining the American Sabbath,
and briefly reviewed the circumstances
leading to the opening OF the EXPOSE
ton gates on Sunday. He also referred
to the fact that many religious publica-
tions are openly advocating boycott
OF the Fair on account OF the Sunday
opening.
The question he regarded as very
grave one. No man has a right to at
tempt to force his own conclusions in
the matter upon others. Speaking for
himself alone, his conscience dictated
that he could IN no other way properly
express his condemnation OF the act Of
the Commissioners, in their open disre-
gard OF the law, In resorting TO trickery
and taking advantage OF technicality,
than by staying away from the Fair.
He was reluctantly forced to this con-
cluslon, as he had intended to visit the
Exposition, which he regarded as the
greatest event OF its kind in the
history of the world. This was his
individual view; others should make
up their minds after ma
ture and prayerful consideration
Of the matter. If they felt that they
could give expression to a disapproval
Of the wanton Sabbath dissertation, and
consistently visit the fair, they were
right in doing so. He would not advo-
cate boycott Of the Exposition, but
would impress upon all the great i'm
portance Of the question and urge them
TO consider IL in ali its phases before
reaching a decision relative to visiting
the Fair. II was question between
every man and his conscience, and con-
science alone should dictate his course.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1893-06-26

must be G proper sense of the nature OF
man. He said that man is an Immortal
spirit; that spirit is not life In man
merely. but animals have spirit as a Ire
principle, but when the spirit Is gone
the animal is dead, and that
when man dies the soul
lives on, and goes to God. 1t was sald
that the lower animals have no IDEA OF
progress. They do not build cities, lay
railroads, or unite continents by tele-
graplc cable lines. The conclusion was
then drawn that all progress is the re-
suit OF mans thought and energy. IL
was then shown that man is king or the
lower world, that man with mems ma
ture is alone able TO bear mans faults
and sins.
To meet the tribulations OF life, 1t
was shown to be necessary to have
Christians sympathy. Paul was here
quoted as being model for sympathy
That sympathy often brings suffering
and that suffering often brings people
TO Christ, was logical conclusion.
Rev. johnson said that the strong can
always aid the weak, and vice versa.
The strong intellect can help the weak
one. aud the weak in the church, by
being strong, can aid those not so eX-
posed TO temptation. In Imagination,
the minister asked the assem- blage TO
accompany him TO the Main Street
stone bridge, aud 10 observe a little
stone doing its work in holding tons
and tons OF weight. But II the little
stone was removed the bridge would
fail. This was given as an example OF
the weak aiding the strong.
IL was given as an ideal rule, not TO
be selfish but 10 help those in distress.
Ii is bad policy for one to live to him
self. Then the proposition was ex-
planned, that none should be too prou0
TO be helped. In this connection Kew.
Johnson gave a powerful proof. 1t
was when Christ was made 10 carry
the heavy cross. and when He fell un-
der its weight, He allowed Simon, the
Sirenian, TO take it. II Christ was not,
wRY should mortalS be proud? 1t was
said that one Of the greatest comforts
OF life comes from aiding others.
LET US lift up from those working
with Us on earth and look to those
working for US in heaven, was the con-
Guiding division of the discourse. 1t
was stated that all the angels are minis
teriug angels, and that they are contin-
ually endeavoring to aid fellow human
ity. The beautiful legend OF Ben Aoou
was told, how the angel appeared with
the role OF life, and because Ben Aoou
wanted TO DO among those who loved
his fellow men, his name was placed
first on the roll.
Rev. johnson read the death list from
the Wheeling lodges during the past
year. They are, &. A. Stuckey, ChaS.
