traitor OF the estate OF Johu G. D)wney,

The plaintiff claims that in the yea 70
1884 he handed over to the lats Gov
srnor Downey the cum Of $4,000 in trust,
to be eaved for him, and OF this amount
he has. so he alleges, received only 5000
in return. He further contends. how
ever, that on September l, 1891, the
lats Governor Downey employed him ns
his com mpanion, but that while the posi-
tion was sufficiently onerons his salary
had never been paid. The plaintiff.
therefore, claims $4400, being the bal'
Arce yet due on the trust money dapos-
tied with Governor Downey. and 1920,
being ealary as companion up to the
time Of tho governors death.
The defense mads general denial to
the several allegations, conten6ing that
the claim for the balance OF money do
poeitod in the hands of the governor was
stale before the latler's dea.h, and is
forever barred. While denying that
plaintiff was employed as com panion on
salary, a counter claim is set up that

man In the First N. f. church lssI
night. A very large proportion Of those
present were young people. The attsn'
tion was most excellent, the intsresl
shown was intense and the result OF the
meeting was glorious.
The topic OF the evening was Heaven
tho place called homo by the Chris
tian. the Indians "happy hunting
grounds" the Elysian fields of she glo-
rious city, filed with the splendor OF
the regnant Christ.
1t is described in the last book OF the
Bible, and creates in M homesick
longing for its blecsedness. To reach il
men must seek for it and must travel
upward to find it. We may all reach
it. All muat reach it, or reach the OPP

paths OF righteousness, even If HE

Where Is heaven? 1t Ia in the west,
under the glory Of the setting sun; in
the east. in its dawning eplendor, in
the north, in the aurora boreaiis' beau
ty; in the south. In the southern cross.
These statements are all true. Heaven
lie alwsys near and around this favored
earth.

row, Sin nor death. It has no Gem etery.
