Easter Services.

Last Sunday being Easter, the usual
services required for this occasion were
held in the several churches in our city.
In the morning the exercises at the
L. b. church were of an interesting
character, following out the program as
published in last weeks INDEPENDENT.
At the NJ. Z. church IN the morning
the Sunday school utilized the time be-
fitting the occasion, and many little
heart beat happily when receiving a
handsomely decorated Easter egg. In
the evening very appropriate exercise
was given to large and appreciatiye
congregation. The platform in the rear
of the church was literally covered with
flowers, and tastefully decorated. The
program was a good one, and rendered
in manner highly commendable to
those who had charge of it. The sing
ing and recitatiOns were well rendered
and many of the older people present
had their thoughts carried back to their
youthful days, when they participated
in like occasions.
Easter Sunday at the Presbyteria
church was observed by large congre-

the day. y sunrise prayer meeting, led

from Mccormick Theological Seminary
and by his work among us on Sunday
we predict brilliant and useful future
for him. The Sunday school at l.
o'clock added special features to its al
ways attractive program.

was attacked, and relieved of $50 in
money, a gold watch and other articles,
and although his loud yells for assist
ance was answered by the appearance
of a policeman, the thief made good his
escape.
We desire to inform the 1ould-be
sensational reporter, that the statements
made are fabricatlons, as no such an
occurrence took place. Plymouth is a
model town, and strangers coming in
side of its cOrporated limits are never
relieved of their cash, in this manner.
OF course there are a number of people
who leave tier money here, but il gen
orally is that class of men who are
shrewd and see bargain, and invest
their money in Plymouth real estate.

Lauer Lewis.

Mr. Barney Lauer is in New York
City, and when he returns TO Plymouth
some time next week he will be able to
introduce to his Plymouth friends, Mrs.
Barney Lauer. The ceremony will oc-
cur in the eastern city on Sunday next,
which will join in holy wedlock the lives
of Mr.. Lauer and Miss Emile Lewis.
The young couple will reside in Plym-
outh, where the groom is connected
with the clothing house of NJ. Lauer
& Son. Barney is a young man re-
spected and well liked in Plymouth
and cordial welcome will be extended
to his wife in this city. The best wishes
of many friends will accompany the
couple on their journey through life.

Only Two Drunks.

On Wednesday morning Chief of Po-
lice Myers took into custody man, who
may prove an interesting charge. The
fellow was filled to mellowness. As he
paraded the streets the air was filled
with the broken melody of "Sweet Ma
rie," and similar classic selections, un-
til the ruthless hand of the law cut the
song off with its ever sharp knife. Be
fore the embryotic opera singers per-
ambulations had been brought to the
end of an unsuccessful season of Italian
opera, he visited the United States eX-
press office and in maudlin words in
formed Agent Leonard that he was a

his clothes. 1t looks as if the fellow
told the truth and it is probable that he
is wanted somewhere for robbery of an
optician or jewelers. store.
The other inebriate was captured
Tuesday morning. He had walked over
the stone wall at the rear of the Opera
House saloon and fell into the river,
but, as is usual in such cases, no evil
results came from his bath. He was a
hobo and was fired out of town.
During the forenoon the first of the
two men pried his way out of the Gala
boose and after disposing of a few OF
his spectacle frames, made his way out
of town and has not been heard ot

A Little Previous.

One of our contemporaries of South
Bend must have upon its force one of
these sensational reporters that the press
throughout this portion of the state are
calling down. We observe that a story
is published from that city this week,
wherein it says a man was robbed in
Plymouth at the Lake Erie depot.
In speaking of the dastardly deed, it
reports that this unfortunate person,

Morning.

White as the Parian Marble, voiceless,
breathless, pulseless, quietly resting in
its last, endless, dreamless sleep, lies the
body of Mrs. Jennie f. Borton. Heav-
enly messengers, unseen by those about
her, have just taken in their arms her
spirit form and borne it away to their
heavenly home, to receive her reward
from the Divine Father and to hence
forth be as one of themselves.
The sun has just risen above the
eastern horizon, sending its rays abroad
with a rare and brilliant effulgence, like
boundless glory; as if to symbolic the
light of truth and the warmth of love
that had characterized the earthly life
Just ended, and set upon it the seal of
celestial approval
The air is vocal with the songs of the
birds, and the sounds of busy life are
beginning to fill the streets and the
channels of trade, the murmurs of which
are but family heard by those she loved,
who have gathered about her and with
heavy hearts and fearful eyes gaze upon
the quiet resting form which has,
through long weary months of pain and
suffering, borne its Affections with
Christian patience and hope, ever as
anxious for the comfort and welfare of
others as she had been when able to
minister to them herself.
Did you know her? To know her was
to love her. One of those who are at
tractive in person, loving in heart, con-
siderate in intellect; who attract and
charm us; who bring fragrance to the
memory when our thoughts turn to
them.
One with full and true sense of that
rare and priceless thing, so hard to make
and maintain, the true HOME; with a
comprehension of the responsibilities
and duties of wife and mother; reali
zation of her relations to friends
associates and neighbOrS; her obi
cations to the representatives here
of the unseen and unknown here
after-the CHURCH, and the instru
mentalities of its ministrations at home
and abroad.
One of those loving and lovable souls
that warm us with their presence, ele
vate us with their influence and example
and make the world wiser, better ant
hOlier; while no heralds with trumpet, O
attendant criers with f1ambeau announc,
their going and coming; but who, lik,
the dew and the flowers send abroat
the benignity of their love and Chart,
in silence, yet all may share who com,
within its reach.
Thousands of miles away in Othe
lands, grateful hearts turn to her al
their benefactor and friend, whose gen
erous hand has helped to send and main
tain them in their works of mercy
Others, who have been inmates of he
family think of her only with reverentia
love.
1t may not be immaterial to the lustrt
of the diamond where it is formed an(
found. So the place where the good art
born may add to their goodness.

A VISION OF THE CHRIST.

Methought knelt in some cathedral vast
While over me the orean-thunder rolled,
The sunlight through the stored windows
streamed
Athwart the odorous gloom and cleaned upon
The silver vessels of the sacrament.
Staining the snowy altar-cloth rOse-red
And amethyst. And all the perfumed air
Did pulse with light and music like a star.
And as lifted up mine eyes to where
The great, still Christ above the altar hung,
A sunbeam smote upon it till the face
Seemed luminous, as from all inward fire.
The wondrous eyes did hold mine eyes en-
thralled.
And 10. the pale lips opened, and voice,
Heard in the breathless silence of my soul.
Thrilled through the music like some minor
chord.
With all its sad. impassoned undertone:
Il was an hungered, and ye gave no meat.
And thirsty and ye gave me nanght t drink.
Sick and in prison and We came not nigh;
For inasmuch as ye have done it not
Unto the least of these, my little ones
Ye did 1t not TO me.
MY little ones!
They faint along the way with none to help.
We crush them meath your chariot wheels and
ride
Unheeding on your way.
My little ones!
Behold your hands are crimsoned with their
blood.
Their cries beat upward to my fathers throne
And cruelty my rlven soul afresh.
How ong. o cruel generation, will
We steel your hearts against such piteous wOe?"
And ever DER me still the music throbbed.
And still the ambient air did palpitate
AS with the beating of an angels wings,
Till the last of sound beat at ii feet
And the last rays of light did crown Ills head
With glory as of sun and moon and stars.
The vision passed. But still saw that face,
And stil heard in that last chord divine
Those words that are engraven on my soul.

THE DYING HERO.

The British Weekly has been publish
ing a series of sketches by Ian MacLar
en-, in which the self denial and Chris
tian heroism of DR.. Mcclure, the physi
clan of highland country district. are
made particularly prominent. The fol-
lowing is the latter half of the story of
the doctors death. A more touching
scene has never been described:

Among the minor writer's OF verse in
America, there is no one who has gained
larger and more deserved popularity
than Julia G. r. Dorr. Inheriting the
character and mental strength of an
honorable Puritan ancestry, Mrs. Dorr
has added to her fortunate inheritance
the most restful and harmonious sur
roundings. In her ample and attractive
home, the NAPLES" at Rutland, VT,
she has perhaps been too happy for that
ambition which. while it would have
diminished her store of contentment,
might have added to the quantity Of her
literary work. The quality of that work
no one of her readers would care to have
changed; it is the quality ofa harmoni-
GUS and gracious life. full of kindly i'm
pulses and activities, sensitive to the
best and truest inspiration, and respon-
sive through very sweet and pure gift
of expression. A singularly happy wife,
fortunate mother, protected from the
pressing cares of life, she has waited
upon her singing moods, and not forced
them to her bidding.
Mrs. DORIS first venture in the literary
field was a novel. which came from the
press in 1854, with the title Farming
dale" and under the nom de plume Of
Caroline Thomas" Two years later
"Lanmere" was published under her
own name. She had married in 1847,
and for number Of years after the ap-
pearance of "Lanmere'' the oversight Of
children prevented any consecutive lit
erary work. although occasional poems
reminded her readers that her literary
gift was only in allegiance. In 1869
"Sibyl Huntington" novel. saw the
light; three years later a volume Of
verse entitled Poems" was issued; this
was followed tine next year by a novel,
"Expiation," and this in turn by "Friar
Anselmo and Other Poems," in 1879; by
Da, bre TX" in 1882; by Bermuda" in
1884. and by Afternoon Songs" in 1885.
10 these must be added many sketches,
short stories and poems which have been
contributed from time to time to the
periodical press, and have not been col
ectel in book form. Mrs. DORIS verse
has a place of it's own, from which it
will not soon be dislodged. 1t records a
steady growth in range and power of ex
preston. constantly deepened concep
ton OF life and art. 1t is free from arti-
flee, from over. elaboration, from the
blight of pessimism; it is full of a large
charity, sustained faith, an unkroken
hope. Even in recent months, which
have brought the shadow of great sor
row into a life that had been almost
cloudless, there has been no ebbing of
faith, but deepening sense of spiritual
realities. Mrs. DORIS literary work has
formed but small part of life full of
manifold activities, and this fact has
doubtless given that work its character
istic sincerity and simplicity.

DIR. LYMAN ABBOTT AND BISHOP
SPALDING.
BY REV. JAMES GoRToN.

Two very remarkable addresses
have been recently delivered in Chi
cago,-one by DIR. Lyman Abbott be-
fore the graduating class of North
Western University, Methodist
school; the other by the Catholic
Bishop Spalding before the gradu
ates of De La Sale Institute, a Cath
Ollie school. The Bishops address
was remarkable for some of it's decla-
rations. If the entire Catholic faith
we're in harmony with these DECLARE
tons we would have little difficulty
in welcoming the church universal
into the Universalist Church, or in
carrying the Universalist Church over
to the "church universal"
DIR. Abbott's address was remark
able throughout for the clearness,
strength and boldness with which he
advocates what he confesses must re-
cast fundamentally, if not revolution
ize current theology. His theme was
"Religion and Evolution" He spoke
in a clear, demonstrative and master
ly way for an hour and half, with
out note or scrip, pouring gems of
splendid thought, and thunderbolts
of evolution into the camp of ortho-
doxy. Many Methodist divines, if
not all of them, were taken wholly by
surprise, were shocked and amazed,
and we now hear ominous threaten
ings of fierce tempest in the large
Methodist tea pot.
We have only severely condensed
reports, only few of the Ie narkable
declarations of their addresses, in the
Chicago dailies.
DIR. Abbott says: "Some of us are
radical evolutionists, and believe this
is the only process by which God
ever does his work. This conception
of life does require radical recast-
ing of theology"
He does not regard the Bible as
the only divine revelation, if indeed
he regards it as special revelation
in any sense; for he says, "From eter-
nifty God has been speaking God.
He has always been manifesting
himself"
He says, GAS an evolutionist l not
only do not believe that the Bible is
an infallible book, but think that
an infallible book is an unthinkable
proposition"
He utterly repudiates the idea that
man is fallen being; claims that the
Bible does not teach it, and that both
science and history demonstrate it to
be false. This of course does away
totally with mans need of Saviour
in the common orthodox sense. 1t
does away entirely with the popular
doctriue of redemption and of atone
ment. Thii amounts, as every one
can see, not merely to a recasting, but
to total revolution of current theol-
gy, for it all rests upon the theory

to be only the dreams of poets"
In view of this reduction in the
temperature of hell some one sug
gests that gentlemen going in that
direction take their overcoats." But
while people with vigorous minds
and good health can throw off the
wild terror of their orthodox theology
there are many people who cannot do
this. We have heard the cry, "Oh,
what if it be trueT" We have seen
cheeks grow pale at the suggestion
of the possibility of this infinite
horror" We have heard the groans
of souls agonized with apprehension;
we have been appealed to in cries
that would melt the hardest heart,
'Oh, tell me is my child safe7" rs
there any hope for the dead who die
unconverted?" With gospel truth we
have tried to soothe such trouble and
have prayed for the love of God to
be SO manifested to these despairing
souls that sweet hope might come to
give them comfort.
We may indeed rejoice in the in
viting tenderness-the hearts ease of
the text, Come unto me | will
give you rest" He who said, "And
l, if l be lifted up from the earth will
draw all men unto me-" knew the
power of love and that nothing could
defeat its omnipotent sway. He, the
good shepherd who went forth in
search of the lost sheep, knew that
he would find and bring back the
wanderer. He, the Son, whom st.
John declares to be in the blossom of
the Father" knows the Fathers love,
and knows that he will never forsake
even the least of all his children, but
will seek and save. The whole life
of our Lord on the earth, and the
glory of his spirit now moving the
mighty uOSL5 VI oil Ills LTu0 lOllOWoIb
are proofs divine to give heart-rest to
all the sick and the weary of earth,
The sin-troubled may come to him
the "Lamb of God that taketh away
the sin of the world;" the doubt
troubled may find in Jesus "the Sa-
viour of the world" Trust in God
and all is we'll.
There's a Wilderness in Gods mercy
Like the Wilderness of the sea-
There's kindness in his justice,
Which is more than liberty.
There's no place where earthly sorrows,
Are more felt than up In heaven;
There's no place where earthly faiings,
Have such kindly judgment given.
For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of mans mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our We were but more simple,
We should take him at his word
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.
