The Mt. Zion Baptist Church
gave nice Christmas tree that at
tracted much attention, and glad
dened the hearts of the little
folks. The house was filled to it's
utmost capacity.
The literary exercises and es-
says were just grand.
We are indebted to Mrs. Inez
Hughes and R. w. Watson for the
orderly and systematic way
that they conducted the exercises.
The following are the names of
some of those who made us glad
with their essays: Clara Dow, An
ME Cruise, Eli Cruise, Henry
Suner, John Hickman, Daisy Will
Jams, and Morris Williams.
The watch meeting Sunday
night was largely attended and
effectual were the services.

policy playing do these things3"
The desire for riches by shirk-
ing hard, honest labor, has empt-
led the purse of the widow into
the lap of the goddess of fortune,
and caused the day laborer to in
vite his weekly wages upon a dia-
collcal enterprise, that enables its
propagators to live in stately man.
slons, while poverty continues to
knock at his door,
The church as in the formal
case, should be on the defenses
and exert its power toward pull
ling down this giant evil. But if
priest and people are taking
stock in the Wheel, but little in
the way ofreform may be looked
tor on their part. The congreea-
ton that contenances these impro-
prletles and passes them headless-
ly by, is on a fair way to dissolu-
ton, and will ultimately become
"a den of gamblers and thieves"
Who is there so uncroupulous
as to claim the right to utilize the
priestly Office to further the nefar
lous schemes of policy. Has he
the divine authority to cast All,
"A, at the expense of his holy Of
flee and the purity of the Christian
church? There is a divinity
which shapes our ends" but it is
hardly to supposed that divinity"
shapens them out, either about
the poker Table" or around the
wheel of Fortune" A little
leaven leaventh the whole lump"
consequently if the pulpit deems
it "a stroke of policy" to unite its
efforts in supporting gambling
and the entire symtem of religious
faith is mere fabrication. But
Word stands alone, pure, unadul-
terated and replete in Specification
and these terrible offenses against
Christ's Church are the outgrowth
of the devil and his pals.
The Church of God GU has no
business to foster a concern that
robS the sucking babe of nourish-
ment, and the mother, of wood
and coal; it is not justified in re-
tusing to severely admonish those
who are SO prominent in policy
playing, and to strike down the
monster with the
power of mighty Gospel. The
policy playing preacher must be
deposed, his license revoked, and
his place given to another. The
lay member must be arraigned be-
fore the ecclesiastical council and
to give satisfaction and to make
amends for this violent opposition
waged against high heaven. To
delay, means TO approve; to act
at once, means the utter annihlla-
ton of this monstrous evil, which
is beginning to assume such fear
ful proportions among our Church
members.

EpGEEToN, April % The body of Webb
ert Teitschler was found by the roadside
southwest of this city. There is evidence
that the man was toully murdered, but
aside from this the case is shrouded in
mystery, Near the body were found two
large clubs, one of which was broken into
eight or ten pieces and covered with blood
and hair. Another club was necessary to
finish the deadly work, and was found
close by. The body was taken to the
warehouse of Grin Pomeroy and a post
mortem examination was held. The head
and face were found to have been crushed
to pulp by the blows of the clubs.
NJ clew to the murderer has yet been
found. The crime is supposed to have
been committed for the money the man
had on his person, as his pockets had
been rihed of their contents. Teltschler
was q civil engineer who, when first known
in this section, hired out as n farm laborer
to ID. f. Sayer, who lives a short distance
from Edyerton. Teitschler claimed Ito
have been born in Switzerland and was
educated in Germany. lie claimed to
have been driven from Germany by the
government for his views on certain polit-
cal questions.
