MUTUAL ADMIRATION.
A Case of True Love Which Set the
Thirteen Fate at Defiance.

Case of True Love Which Set the
Thirteen Fate at Defiance.
From the Detroit Free Press
1t was plain, everyday case Of mutual
admiration. He admired the girl and she
admired him. 1t was much more than ad-
mration; they were in love with each
other. OF course one was more so than the
other. for 1t cannot be otherwise, seeing
that Cupid is born with one leg shorter than
the other; but this is not an insuperable
obstacle to matrimony. II it were, the mar
riage license clerk would be compelled to

that he proposed to her. That seemed nat

"Oh. 1 can't tell you," and she burst into

she yielded.

brave reply, for men under such circum-

oHILDRENs MISSION DAY.
Interesting Exercises at the Christian
Church.

Yesterday was Children's Mission day
at the Christian church. In the morning
the pastor, Rev. T. II. Blenus, preached
on Foreign Missions" His theme was
the grounds for foreign missions: the
promises of God the commands of Christ;
the examples of the apostles; the motive
to engage in foreign missions; loyalty to
Christ: interest in the welfare of human
lty; reflex influence upon the church the
increase in the field; the help of native
Christians; every dollar given 10 foreign
missions increases the commerce of the
world $40.
Alright the children held an interest
ing service Of song, recitation, praise and
prayer. The church was beautifully dec

AS the children marched into the

The service was, without doubt, one of

the church. Rev. Mr.. Blenns, the
pastor, who seems to be
a prime favorite with every child, care

THE GRADUATES MONTH.
School Boys and Girls Preparing for
Their Honors.

Their Honors.
This is the last month of the present
scholastic year. 1t will be a month
of hard work for both teachers and
pupils. All the examinations are to be
held this month, and upon the result of
these will depend what scholars will be
advanced next year, and who will gradu-
ate this year.
The commencent exercises of the high
school will be held at the theater Thurs
day night, June %. The main feature
will be the reading of original compost
tions by the graduates. Until the exami-
nations are held il will not be known who
will carry of the honors There
are number of bright pupils in the
class, and the competition for the honor
places will be quite lively. The class con-
sists of thirteen boys and twenty girls,
all of whom are expected to graduate.
The annual address will be delivered by
A. Il. Lawton, Jr., Esq, a former grad
uate of the high school,
A new departure will be made in the
grammar school commandments this
year. The exercises will be held in
Hunter hall at O'Clock on the afternoon
of June %. Each school will be repre-
sented by one pupil. which will make
seven pupils in all taking part in the
exercises.
The exercises will consist of declama-
tions and music, followed by the delivery
of the diplomas and speech by Presi-
dent Mercer Of the board of education.
This is thought to be great deal better
plan than to have separate exercises at
each school, or to have each school rep
resented by a number of pupils. 1t
would hardly seem, however, that Hun
ter hall would be large enough to hold all
those who will wish to be present at the
exercises as the pupils alone will more
than fill the hall

Central Debenture Holders Working

The committee representing the hold

the Central railroad. have published a
notice calling the attention of all other
holders of the certificates to the fact that
a meeting was held for the purpose of
taking steps to press the claims of these
certificates and inviting all other holders
to correspond with them and cooperate
in the movement for their mutual protec-
ton.
This protective committee is well or
gained, and is composed of men all Of
whom are well known in financial circles
and who will exert their utmost efforts
for the protection Of these securities.
The committee consists of Messrs John

New York. They represent now the al

BAKING POWDER.

pressly called ''evangelists." They had
extraordinary pc wers for special purposes,
Just as Presbyterian evangelists have to-
day. And Paul did not address one word
to Timothy in that memorable farewell
address at Ephesus, as was proper, if
Timothy had been bishop of that see.
Timothy was himself ordained by a pres
bytery, and would be likely to practice
according to his teaching. No proof
exists of his ever performing an ordiana-
ton alone.
So, too, the prelatic argument fails
about James in Jerusalem, and the angels
of the seven churches, in Revelations.
Exclusive prelatc claims are thus re-
jected as unsound. They ignore the
Bible teaching about church organiza-
ton. They claim true ministry and,
therefore, a true apostolic church. We
deny that their ministry is according to
the scripture. We claim true church,
and therefore a true ministry, like the
apostolic model. Ecclesiastical power
abides in the body of the faithful, and
not In her agents and representatives.
THE NEW TESTAMENT ORDINATION.
The only ordination known in the New
Testament is that by presbyter- bishops,
and as court, there being a plurality
present.
Prelatists introduce a new order, do
cesar prelate; and change the duties of
another-the deacon-from a financial to
a preaching officer. Archbishop Whitley
admits that. Not until the third century
was deacon permitted to baptize.
The gospel of peace offers salvation to
faith. But the prelatic church narrows
the salvation to "believe in apostolical
succession in the episcopate, or be
damned" Church order is made more
important than faith in the blood of
Jesus.
AWAY WITH CANONICAL GENEALOGY.
Away with canonical genealogy for the
gospel! Away with unauthorized addi-
tions to New Testament requirements;
bowling, and crossings, and kneelings, and
posturings; honey and oil, and confession
ials Let all who want these use them
quietly and unmOlested, and be happy in
the trities of human devising. Let them
not abuse others.
when by such church claims are
made whose insolence is unparalleled
except by their emptiness and wicked
ness; when spiritual religion, the piety of
heart, is treated with cold and nbald
mockery, that chills the blood with hor-
ror; when it is loudly proclaimed that
prelacy is not only the sole authorized
system of polity, but it is boasted of as
even eminently republican, and when
our commissions are rudely snatched
from US and pronounced in the hearing
of our people as forgeries and impostures,
silence becomes at once cowardice and
treason, and neither attack nor defense
from US requires any apology"
Next Sunday DIR. Vass will preach the
fourth and last sermon of this series. In
this will be o examined the question.
What foundation does profane history
furnish for the arrognant claims of pre-
latists2
