The Millennium.

An interesting work has just come
from the pen of George W. Macmillan,
Ph. D., D. D., President of Richland Col
lege, o. 1t is entitled, "The Coming
Millennium; or, the Reign of Christ, Not
Personal, but Spiritual and Universal" )"
One who has examined the book thor
oughly says;
So much comparatively worthless mat
ter has been written on the subject of
the Millennium that the reading public
has been slow to take up any new work
on this subject In DR.. MacMillan's work,
however, it is treated with an original
ity and evidence of thorough research as
must commend it to every thoughtful
student. The Biblical chronologies are
reeXamined and the flood of new light
let in upon them makes many things
clear which were obscure before. The
coming and duration of the Millennium,
the number saved and other problems
pertaining to this matter are fully rea.
soned out, and those who differ with the
writer will have no little difficulty in
combating some of his conclusions. Not
only is the subject interesting to most
people, but DR.. Mcmillan has the faculty
of presenting the case in most fasci-
mating manner. The book is thoroughly
readable as well as valuable.

The Mantle Of Night.

The following lines were written by
Mrs Mary E. Taylor a blind inmate OF
the County Infrmary, woman of culture
and education, and whom circumstances
have reduced to poverty. The verses
give evidence of proper sentiment, and
are well balancedl:
Night let her holy mantle fall DER earth and sky
and sea,
And darkness, like heavy pail. envelopes flower
and tree;
And silence broeded DER the scene, no sound Of
life was heard,
The breeze sighed not, the leaves were still, moi
een chirp of bird.
And yet amid the silence deep stood one with
earnest brow,
With face serene, and stately form beneath the
olive bough;
And darkness fell like heavens veil around the
sacred spot,
AS though to shield him where he stood that harm
might touch him not.
He wandered here at even-tide to rest from to
and care;
He felt the need OF solitude and longed for secret
prayer.
He sought communion with the King, whose favor
he well knew,
And asked of Him grace and strength, his labors
TO pursue.
And through the dark and starless night quiet
step drew near.
''Oh, Master kind" the stranger said, 81 come thy
word 10 hear.
Thou teachest more than man hath taught or earth
hath ever known.
Man cannot work such works as thine except of
God he s shown"
"And cometh thou, oh child Of earth, with all thy
worldly store
or art and skill in Jewish law, and wouldst thou
question more?
Hear thou, oh Israel and believe the word is true
and plain,
But ere thou enterest into Heaven, ys must be
born again

By the provisions of this measure a

make things easier for the teachers, but
whether it would better the present con-

In two or three minutes after the polls
close the result is known, besides there
is no possible chance to commit fraud.

W. A. TAYLOR, the man who headed
the Democratic State ticket last fall, is
the only Democrat so far who is foolish
enough to declare himself candidate
for Governor. The Democrats profess
to believe it not hard to beat Mckinley

to their words, since none Of the greater
lights are willing to try the experiment.

THE fact that within short period

THE antitrust law was aimed at
monopolies and was passed largely at
the behest of the labor organizations,
and it is little strange that these same
organizations should be classed as trusts
by United States Judge at New
Orleans. According to the mind of this
Judge there may be trusts in labor as
well as anything else.
