tors Of the Churches will carefully examine
the partial report Of the appointment com
mlttee, which appears in this number of the
paper. WE hope to bring out full report in

membership connected thereto Brethren,
the time to begin our work in arranging plans
tor raising the three thousand dollars for the
Church Edihce fund and Mission is now upon
US. Let US not therefore overlook, ignore,
nor defer the work another day, but let each
pastor bring the matter to the notice of his
Church. And commence at once in down
right earnestness. Let each one do his or
her duty, and the amount will be easily raised.
the cause Of our Master advanced and His

The Pastor and the SUNDAY
school.
BY F. c. LONG,

The relation which the pastor
ought to, and does sustain to the
Sabbath School, has been SO thor
oughly discussed and reviewed bv
others from time to time, that we
hardly believe an apology for this
attempt reasonable one. since
nothing new can possibly be ad-
vanced. This relation is no longer
experimental, but has long ago
proved practicable and conducive
to worthy results, in that it evil
dences that the Church and
school are one, and their interests
are the same.
The same influences that. give
stimulus to the Church ought to
give growth to the Sunday School.
The Church is composed of bap-
tlzed believers growing in grace"
and living out probationary ex-
lstence on this sphere, for the
good of others and the further
ance of the Gospel. Nature has
never perpetuated any phase of
life ad 1nfnttunv; but instead, we
observe in man as we'll as in ami
mails of the lower orders, that
the flttest survives" regardless of
race, age, beauty, and religion.
The individuals who constitute
the contemporary Church, will, in
the next century be sleeping be-
meath the sod; and unless the en-
bryo Church-the Sunday School,
is educated properly, the Church
will be thing of the past.
The Sunday School is the off
spring of the Church, the daugh-
ter of the Church. There should
be jealous regard on the part of
the Church for the Sunday School
and the intimacy should be so in
tense that there should be no such
thing as graduating from the Sun
day School into the Church. un-
less it be in a spiritual sense. No
one with reasonable degree of
foresight and forethought, doubts
the propriety of the Church nur-
turing its underground, as it is APP
parent that the future Church
must constitute the children OF to-
day. Pedo-baptists are particu-
larly wary and mindful of this
fact, and leave no stone unturn-
ed in gathering the young into the
fold Of the Sunday School.
In a very great degree the
Church is responsible for the gen
eral growth of its children, and it
can hardly be believed that Chris
ian mothers and fathers can pass
:hese facts carelessly with impun-
ty.
How will the Church know its
duties and relations to the Sunday {
School? Through the pastor, Of
course. That pastor who neglects
Q preach and practice Sunday
school theology, is spiritually {
blind and ignorant of existing I
conditions. The pastor who dis

charged. Their dcmurrcrs denying that
the facts charged violate any law will be
filled by the defendants and the cases go
upon the calendar of the court to he tried
in their order
These cases are the outcome of the in
quiry made last spring by committee of
the Senate, of which Senator Gray was
the chairman. The charges that the Su
gar Trust was interfering with if not con
trolling, legislation in relation to sugar
duties and bounty, had led to the creation
of a committee of investigation, which sat
for some time and cndcavorcd to get to
the bottom of the rumors atloat in refer

Schriver and E. J. Edwards, newspaper
correspondents. President Havemeycr,
Secretary Searles and Messrs Mccartney
and Chapman, brokers, connected with
the Sugar Trust were among the witnesses
summoned. Other witnesses had tcstl-
fed and answered in one way or another
all the questions asked them, but these
gentlemen all declined to answer and
claimed that the committee had no right
to nterrogate them On their failure to
answer they were reported to the Senate,
and on the order of that body the facts
were communicated to District Attorney
A. A. Birney. He laid all the facts be
fore the grand jury, Senator Gray appear
ing as witness, and the result was the
Indictment against Shriver, Edwards

tional Indictment returned into court as

Shriver has gone to Europe but will re-
turn in time to meet any investigation the
court may make.

TALK OF WAR IN EUROPE.

The call for the special meeting of the
British cabinet has caused the greatest eX-
element throughout Great Britain and
war talk is heard on every hand 1t was
generally admitted that the cause for this
hasty summoning of the ministers while
they were enjoying their holiday is a new
and unexpected friction with France CON
corning African dominion, but later de-
velopments indicate that the popular judy
ment was wrong in this case The news
papers of London bristle with war edito-
rails which declare that Great Britain
must not surrender any part of its rights
or shirk any part of its duties that a firm
reply must be made to any demand from
France, and that all political parties will
warmly support the government in up
holding the national dignity.
There has been friction between France
and England for long time past concern
ing their African possessions, but NADIA
gascar is supposed to be the spark that has
kindled the present flame. A dispatch,
dated October 1, has just been received
from Anantravio, Madagascar, saying: "A
blockade of the potts of the Island of
Madagascar has been proclaimed by
France. The resident general has gone
to Tamative He has been instructed to
take measures to protect the colonsts in

The charge so often repcntcd for politi
cal effect that the administration of the
pension bureau is hostile to the Union
soldiers, his widow and orphan finds a de-
NAL so weeping and conclusive in recent
examination of the rulings of the Inter
ior Department since the incoming of
Secretary Hoke Smith and in a COMPARE
son of the same with those of his prede
cessor, that it is not surprising that his
accuSerS have heretofore refrained from
inviting attention to them. Steadily has
| this work been prosecuted for more than
eighteen months, and day by day has the
record been made which speaks for itself
Without attempt to do more than execute
the law in that spirit which its trainers in
tended, no parade has been made to the
public eye of that liberality and fairness
which can be found in all these rulings
For the first time is this record in its en-
tirety presented, the Secretary being here
tofore content to let the darts of abuse
speed their course and wait for the public
Judgment on his official recorded acts
This record is the highest proof that 10
unfriendly spirit directs this admistra-
ton in its treatment of the soldiers.
Notably among the decisions rendered
by Assistant Secretary Reynolds, tending
to make the pension roll a roll of honor,
is found the following:
\ discharge has always been held a pre-
,;.,;+
tice, Congress has passed sundry acts in
dicatiny the circumstances under which
the War Department may remove the
charge of desertion standing against Il
soldiers record. The trainers of the law
carefully guarded against pensionin@
those who deserted from one organization,
and. while desertion. enlisted in another
for the purpose of obtaining Il bounty.
But contrary to all former rulings. the
late administration held that a discharge
from the last enlistment, even with pre-
vious record of desertion. placed the sol
dier, regardless of the record and Of the
exclusive jurisdiction of the War Depart
mcnt over that question, in the attitude of
al tllglDlc tldlllldnl LOT pcnSlon-lldl IL
was equivalent to pardon or acquittal of
his previous desertion, and thus the
bounty jumper, was assisted to a place
on the roll The present rulings reverse
this practice and declare that the War De
partmedt has exclusive jurisdiction over
issues as to desertion and until that charge
is removed in the manner prescribed by
law, the deserter has no place on the pen
sion rolls with the name of the faithful sol
dicr who followed his country tiag til! the
end of his enlistment.
Under Secretary Noble it was held that
an enlistment in the Confederate army by
Il prisoner of war to escape the hardShipS
of priSOn-life was not such voluntary aid
in@ or abetting the rebellion, under the
act of 1862. as would bar title to pension
that the claimant unsupported statement
that his enlistment was for the purpose of
escaping to the Union lines was sufficient
evidence to excuse the act.

A GOOD NOMINATION.

Mr.. John X. Cowan has been nominated
by the Democrats of the Fourth Congress
sional district to succeed Mr. Rayner.-
This may be a surprise to the country, for
Mr.. Cowan has national reputation. No
one, however, few days ago, looked up
on him rs Congressional timber But the
Administration wanted him in the House
1t wanted him for leader 1t wanted
The loyal Democrats of Baltimore re
sponded to the pressure and, although the
talented and eloquent lawyer resides in a
different district, they nominated him by
reclamation. Other candidates retired as
soon as Cowen was mentioned. The regu-
lars demurred at first, but like good Demo.
Gratis fell in line, and gave him their en-
thusiastic support. The convention on
Tuesday was memorable one Rarely,
Cowen received. Rarely is Il nominating
speech as eloquent, as was that of Judge
Fisher in namin g the candidate and rarely
do we find such lucid, burning words OF
wisdom and craftsmanship as were Mr.
Cowan's utterances in accepting the nomi-
nation. All honor to the Democracy of
the Forth Congressional district. Their
representative, in the next Congress will
be a conspicuous figure and reflect the
highest credit upon himself and his con
stituents He will succeed an able and
useful man, but, with all his noble quail
ties, Mr.. Rayner, does not possess the
distinguishing attributes of bold lead
ership that characteriZes Mr.. Cowan.-
Maryland will be honored by his presence
in Congress and we believe the nominal
ton will invigorate the Democratic party
throughout the State

YNHE OBJECT of this suit is to cause
i the defendants to interplead and adj
lust their claims in regard to certain mon
les now held by the complainant.
The bill states that in June, 1894, one
Thomas Lewis and Samuel Harvey inSti-
tuted certain attachment proceedings VS..
George B. Weed 4 Co., under which GER
tain properties were attached, condemned
and sold at public auction, leaving Il bal
ancc in the complainants hands (after sat
isfving the debt interests and COSTS one
hundred and eighteen dollars.
That certain parcels of the property sold
aforesaid was claimed by George Holmes
and Florence Sullivan, and the proceeds of
said sale by George b. Weed.
That the complainant has no interest or
claim in the proceeds of sale and desires
and tenders to pay the amount of the same
the conflicting claimants
That the said William Sullivan, George
b. Weed and Florence Sullivan are non
residents.
1t is thereupon, this 4th day of Septem-
Der, 1894 ordered by the Circuit Court for
Prince Georges county, in Equity, that
the plaintiffs, by causlnga copy of this or
der to be inserted in some newspaper pub
liShed in said county once i'll each of four
successive weeks before the 9th dav of
October, 1894, give notice to the said alb
sent defendants of the object and substance
of this bill warning them to appear in this
court in person rby solicitor, on or before
the 23rd day of October, 1894, next, to
show cause, if any they have, why decree
ought not to be passed as prayed,
