The Plate Glass Works here shut

AT the evening services in the Pr es-

Stated in plain English the charges against
Dr. Briggs were that his teachings under
mine faith in the Bible; that his influence
upon young men att ending the Theologi-
cal Seminary was full and that by
reason of his unsound belief and utterances
the interests of the church were endanger-

Here is straight truth that carries
with it some good advice: The commu-
nifty in which each individual citizen has
public spirit enough to keep his own sur
roundings neat and clean, and whose fiji
cials prevent the accumulation of debris
on the streets, is likely to escape an epi,
demic of cholera during the coming
months. In other words, sweep before
your own door, cl can up your own prem
ises, don't worry about your neighbor's
premises, the chances are that he will see
what you are doing and will follow you ]
good example.
The Ministerial Association of New
Castle, Pa, is agitating against the
practice of opening caskets at church
funerals. One of their number, Rev
/. A. Thayer, recently said We have
been trying for sometime to break up the
idea that circus must be made out of q
funeral There is nothing more disgust
ing to me than to see q whole congrega
ton file around the front of a church
merely to get glimpse of face which
perhaps many Of them have never seer
before. The custom should be abolished
without ceremony.
