Upon an elevation in such q pond, Just

The blood OF the martyrs Is the seed of
the church, and the punishment of heretics
is sometimes the seed of heresy. The re-
cent punishmsnt of DR.. Briggs has made
heresy active and aggressive. Lyman Alb
bott in his sermon in Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, Sunday morning said: The
Bible is not the word of God. 1t nowhere
calls itself by that name. 1t Is the product
of the church, and the church ia the prod
uct of the individual consciousness of God.
DR.. Briggs is in the true prophetic success
sion, a worthy successor of Isaiah, Paul,
Martin Luther and John Wesley. If he
has erred, 1t has been on the side of
conser vatism. SIN your name and in
the name of all that believe in a
living God dwelling In the hearts
prophet, successor of the prophets of olden
time. that in all these two years of cruel
trial he has never reeeded from his one
position, never used words In doubtful
sense, never retracted his one assertion,
but has stood firmly and faithfully against
all oppressors by this fundamental doc
trine that God is in the heart of the indi-
vidual, and in the heart of His Church,
and revealed in the pages of His Bible"
And 1t may also be mentioned, in pass
ing, that the Rev. James H. Ecob is her
etio. Also the Rev. DR.. Spreohes.
Miss Lizzie Chaplin is q member of the
Clinton Avenue Congregational church of
Brooklyn, New York. A while ago she
became interested in theosophy and Joined
the local theosophicsl society. The news
came to the Rev. Daniel Redmon, who has
something to do with An industrial school
for girls In which Miss Lizzie has been en-
pioyed for ten years as a teacher. Two of
the governors of the school called on her
and asked whether she believed in God.
She said she did. Did she believe in the
Biblea "Why, certainly" Did she be,
Heve In Christi eyes" Did she call her
self theosophista eyes" Which would
she rather do, quit the thsosophists or leave
the schooll 1.-THE ideal" exclaimed Mis-
Lizzie. "I wouldn't give up my right te
nay opinions for a hundred positions" +"
That evening she received q note from the
board of governors containing this sen
tence: "While we appreciate your years oi
service, we cannot but feel that as Chris
tian women, responsible for the moral ant
spiritual welfare of our children, 1t is on
duty not to retain anyone who holds suct
| views"
Things are certainly getting hereticall,
mixed. But let us hope that nobody viii
feel obliged to burn hsretics, as the bes
people formerly and formally did. Let u
remember that 1t is easy to make mistakes
about heresy- Brother Milton once wen
go far as to say: "a man may be hereti
in the truth; and If he believe things onl,
because his pastor says so, or the sssembl
so determines, without knowing other res
son, though his belief be true, yet the yer
truth he holds becomes his heresy."

Lieutenant Eymard, who was perms-
nent officer of the guard In the house at
Versailles where Marshal Bazaine was IN
der arrest while awaiting his court-mar-
tisl, has just told curious anecdote in IL
lustrstion of the sleepy habits of the man
who delivered Metz to the Germans. One
day Madame Bszsine, a Mexican by birth,
came to II. Eymsrd, and asked him to be
good enough to receive Queen Isabella OF
Spain, who was expected in the afternoon.
Her majesty intended, 1t appears, to pay 9
visit to the prisoner. At about quarter
past one o'clock the queen arrived, accom-
panied by her con, afterwards Alfonso
XII, and her two daughters. Ii. Eymsrd
went to meet the royal party. and, as hs
says himself, not having been brought uT
In courts, but camps, he committed th,
awful offence of shaking the queens hand
+ Anglaise, instead of kissing it respect
fully. The queen uttered q cry of discon
tented sstonishment, but she had anothe,
surprise In store for her. The heutenan
of the guard went in to spprise Asrshs
Bszaine of the royal visit, expecting h
find him ready for 1t. The marshal was
however, having his forty winks, and, al
| though violently shaken by the officer, stil
| snored on heavily. Eventually n. Ey
mard, being utterly unable to arouse th
sleeper, had to inform Queen Isabella O
| the semi-comstose condition of the mar
shal. The queen, evidently annoyed, re
turned with her children to her carriag
and departed. Almost Immediately after
wards Madame Bszsine entered. The off
GER told her about the fatal sieeta Sh
did not express astonishment, but anger
and, rushing to xhsre her husband was
upbraided him, as he swoke, in the mos
whitening terms.

them until later. Then shs will assume
her other garments and repair to the toilet
room, where shs should as expeditiously
as possible make herself neat, trim and
fresh, that her friends who are 10 meet her
may not find her dusty or travel stained.

When one considers how names get made
one Ii not surprised by some of the names
For instance, the Picket Wire river In Col
orsdo got Its name by q singular process of
free translation through two languages.
Many years ago a number of Mexicans
started up the river gold hunting. They
never returned, and their friends came to
call the river Gel Rio de los Animos Per-
didos," the River of Lost Sous Some
time after French colony settled on the
banks of the river, and the name was free
ly translated into 'Le Purgatoire." Later
along csue the American cowboy, and in
bis large of hand way of rounding out
difficulties, he smoothed down the foreign
twist of the French word and dubbed the
stream the 'Picket Wire river"
The summer story tellers are beginning

great quantities of snakes that migrated
to his nsighborhood and swallowed his
eggs and his young chickens. he tried
many plans designed 10 disperse, the rep

him two or three weeks ago, and he
bought E big lot of porcelain nest eggs and
scattered them promiscuously over his

Congestion of the mails in New York
city is causing a good deal of trouble,
especially to subscribers to daily news

classifying mail matter, which was passed
In 1879, has resulted In such abuses in
New York that remedial legislstion Is now
demanded. The chief cause for this
troublesome congestion in the postofice
department is the constantly increasing
large masses of printed trash in the form
of "sample copies" of speculative publica-
tions, alleged trade papers and the like,
that is dumped into the Offices and mall
boxes. This printed matter, which, as
such, according to the law of 1879, enjoys
the privileges of second-olass matter,
simply crowds the really important and
useful matter of the same class. and makes

SUCCESSFUL SURGERY.

SUCCESSFUL SURGERY.
A searcher for light writes to us AZ fol
lows:
To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
We have several times of late seen II
stated that Q delicate surgical operation
had been performed for "Appendicitis;'
that the operation was q complete success,
but the patient had died within short
time thereafter.
We had always supposed that q success
full operation implied the recovery of the
patient. We are probably mistaken, but
If the operation followed by the death OF
the person constitutes q suscess, Will you
kindly inform us what in the name of COM
mon sense is requisite for fsilurea
Our correspondent is not only probably
mistaken. He is certainly mistaken. But
An honest searcher for instruction is en-
titled to what instruction he can find, and
We Will help him. A surgical operation
does not depend for success or failure on
the subsequent life or death of the patient.
It is q fine operation, q beautiful operation,
or, a. the pretty nurses sometimes say,
''lovely" operation, when the work Is
skilfully Gone and the patient properly
sewed up. If the patient dies Il is not
from any unskillfulness of the. surgeon.
It is from something which "supervenes," !"
or from failure of the patient to rally from
the shook of the operation, or something
of that kind. SO 1t Is entirely proper to
speak of q successful surgical operation even
If the one on whom 1t is performed doesn't
succeed In long surviving 1t.
If a fine house should be destroyed by
fire our correspondent wouldn't blame the
builder of 1t If it were known that he had
done his work properly. Or If a noble
ship should be overcome by the sea its
constructor couldn't fairly be charged
with lack of success If the ship left his
yard in good condition. So with the work
of the surgeon. If he does 1t properly 1t
Is successful so far as tho work is con-
oerned. If the patient dies It is because
he cannot resist the effects of the opera
ton.
