Oliver Ames has recently built magnifl-

Friends of Eddie Pierce are so elated over
the excellent showing he made against the

talk of putting Pierce up against Dixon
again.
For the first time in the history of Can
ada the governor general, Lord Aberdeen,

President Schol Of the Olympic club
says: II regret very much that Jackson re-
fuses to contest south Of Mason and Dix
on's line. There is one thing that we can
guarantee him. It Is that we can give him
fairer play than he can get anywhere in
the United States. Dixon can vouch for
that fact. Should the Corbett- ackson
fight fall through, we will offer the same
purse if Corbett will fight Fitzsimmons.

few moments he learned from her that
she had lost her position in the treasury

same evening to relate the result of his

After some further conversation he arose
to leave and offered his card, upon which
was the name Of w. c.. P. Breckenridge Of
Kentucky. The young lady flushed with
modification, threw the card upon the ia

mandment flashed across my mind, inas-
much as it spoke Of taking it in vain. I
found the prohibition only related to tax
ing 1t In vain: Nothing was said about
uttering it, but taking or receiving it.
How could it be taken SO as not to take it
in vain?1
The speaker stated that the names were
given to avoid confusion, and concluded
that If the name taken did not answer a
valuable end. it was taken in vain, and
ton ceased to be of value when that re-
lation no longer existed. .'Duties and re-

land simply taking Gods name would
not entit1e people to his protection. God
owned his people in special sense, and if
he wished to have his name put on them
it is not for us to ask why. When Jesus
Christ instructed the apostles to 20 into
all theworld and preach to all the natives.
he instructed them to put the name of the
Blessed Trinity on those who repented and
believed the gospel. Having received pow
er to become the sons of God, they were en-
titled to his name, and inasmuch as they
had been made partakers of the divine ma
ture the divine name was not assumed in
vain. That name should be accompanied
with family resemblance, or our creden-
tials may well be called in question:
Mr.. Clack quotes profusely from Gene
sis to Revelation in support of his origi-
nal views and cites numerous instances
where names We're changed to be in ac-
cordance with change of character, such
as Abram to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah,
Jacob to Israel. The old name was vain
because It had ceased to express the per-
son who bore it and served no end but to
mis1ead. He concludes with the promise:
To him that overcometh shall be given
white stone and in that stone q new name
written. And I will write upon him the
name Of my God and the name Of the CITY
OF my God. will write upon him my
new name and hold him guiltless.' y

NOT SINFUL TO SWEAR.

Surprising Interpretation of the Third
Commandment Comes From Pewaukee.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy
God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him
guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Rev. William Clack of the Pewaukee
Baptist church read a paper on the third
commandment at the monthly meeting Of
the Milwaukee Baptist Ministers associa-
ton the other day which created some
thing of sensation in that conservative
assemblage. The third commandment is
supposed to prohibit profanity, but Mr..
Clack's paper proved to his own apparent
satisfaction that the commandment does
not relate to swearing at ALL He held
that all who become Christians receive or
take the name of God and argued that
the commandment prohibited people from
taking the name of God unless sincere in
their professions of religion. Mr.: Clack
does not stand as the apologist of profane
swearing, but he holds hypocrisy to be a
greater sin than merely unhallowed utter
ance of Gods name.' If this new inter-
probation of the third commandment be
generally accepted, the man who makes
the air blue with blank words will get off
easy compared with the man who uses re-
hgion as cloak. I

quoted Numbers vi, %, God told Moses
to instruct the sons of Aaron how to bless
the children of Israel, and finally to put

THE BAD GAS

The Superintendent Of the Gas Works
has been asking the Council for years
for an appropriation to add sufficient
purifying machinery to the Gas Works
but the Council has paid little attention
to his recommendation. But the gas is
simply intolerabe and it is the plainest
duty Of the Council to do whatever is
necessary to purify it. We saw one burn
er, over which there was a guard, catch
a tea cup full of black, greasy SCOT Mon
day night. This stuff was most injurious
to carpets and any cloth that it might
get on. If this had not been caught
by the guard it would have gone into
the room to settle on the walls and the
ceiling and floor, and to stain and dis
color them. We make a bad swap 10
get cheaper gas at the expense of in
juring the walls. ceiling, carpets. and
furniture. There is no reason though
that we should not have the cheaper gas
and pure gas also. II only requires the
purifying machinery that the supern-
tendent calls for. when all will be right,
he SAYS.
