If you want to turn your back on
your troubles, turn your face toward
Jesus Christ.
Character will manifest itself in con-
duct. A mans feet will be sure to
carry him where his heart directs.
We make provisions for this life as
if it were never to have an end, and
for the other life as though it were
never to have beginning.
Take thy selfdenials gaily and
cheerfully, and let the sunshine of
thy pladness fall on dark things and
bright alike, like the sunshine Of the
Almighty.
If Christians would look up more
thew could travel more rapidly and
with greater safety. Looking intently
at our feet will often cause us to stum-
BILE.
All barrenness merits and receives
the anathema of heaven. The fig tree
withered away no more surely than
the man withers away who fails to
bring forth the fruit Of holiness.
Oysters on the Shell. Wash the
shells and put them on hot Goals or
upon the top of hot stove, or bake
them in a hot oven; open the shells
with an oyster knife, taking care to
loose none Of the liquor, and serve
quickly on hot plates, with toast.
oysters may be steamed in the shells
and are excellent eaten in the same
manner.
Raw Tomatoes.-These should be
cold. Pare, removing as little tomato
with the skin as possible. Cut in slices
one halfinch thick and let stand fit
teen minutes in the ice box before SER
wing. Serve with salad dressing, OF
salt, pepper, and sugar, with vinegar,
or sugar and cream.
The more man loves God the less it
hurts him when he isn't treated right.
1t hurts the cause of Christ to point
to the cross with a frown on the face.
Too many people are trying to be
Christians without the help of Christ.
Some people pray that God will use
them, but they want him to DO it in
their own way.
A stone thrown straight at the devil
is pretty apt to hit some politician
square in the face.
The devil keeps many in bondage,
because he can make q rope OF sand
look like an iron cable.
Some people never accomplish any
thing for Christ because they wait un-
til tomorrow to begin.
The devil has never been able to put
man who was all for God in hard
place.
Commercial Integrity and Christian
character may not be one, but they
are inseparable..
Do not keep. the alabaster boxes of
your love and. tenderness sealed up
until your friends are dead. Fill their
| lives with sweetness. Speak approx
ing, cheering words while their ears
can hear them, and their hearts can be
thrilled by them. The things you
mean to say when they are gone, say
before they 90.
Clothes may contribute to the beau
ty of women, but clothes and charac-
ter are two different things.
Joy is a duty where God has given
cause for joy. If blessings are cont in
ual, their recognition should be the
same,

"peace on earth and good will to

"Peace l leave with you," was the

AT COMMENCEMENT.
General Hastings Witnesses Exercises at
L. p. in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, June 1l.-At the Acad-
emy of Music this morning, honored
by the presence of Governor Hastings
and rendered of great moment by the
induction into Office of Provost C. C.
Harrison, the one hundred and thirty
ninth commencement of the University

MINISTER REPRlMANDED.
Rcv. Kuchncr Censurcd Before the Evan
gclical Lutheran Ministcrinm.


gclical Lutheran Ministcrinm.
Philadelphia, June 1.-THE Evan
gelical Lutheran ministerium began the
fifth days session of the one hudred
and forty-eighth annual convention to-
day by considering a resolution offered
by ex-President Spaeth, that we
recommend to our pastors and congre-
cations to celebrate the one hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of this minis
terum by collecting a jubilee fund of
at least 800. 900 for work of the church,
especially for the seminary and col
lege."
This was finally withdrawn by DR..
Spaeth. and, after some discussion, the
ex-president moved that a special COM
mittee be appointed to look into the
same matter and report at the next
synod. This was agreed to.
The report of the committee on dlsci-
pline was presented. The report first
recommended that Rev. ]. j. Reitz, Of
Cherryville, Pa, be excluded from the
ministerium. This met with the ap-
proval Of the delegates. although the
matter was freely discussed.
The next item in the report told Of the
confession of Rev. M. J. Kuehner, Of
Stetlersville, Pa, to "imprudence and
impropriety," but added that he denied
the act OF immortality. The preamble
recommended that Rev. Kuehner be
publicly reprimanded and requested to
resign by Jan. l. 1896. Rev. j. II. Fritz.
of York, Pa, said that the minlsterium
must recognize congregational rights,
and he thought 1t wrong for the report
to state when Rev. Kuehner should re-
sign.
DR.. Fry said If Rev. Kuehner was In
the church he should at once be repri-
manded The accused clergyman
walked to the front of the church with
clasped hands and bowed head, and
faced President Seip. DIR. Seip ad-
dressed him thus:
at Is my painful duty In accordance
with the constitution OF the ministerium
to publicly reprimand you in conse-
quence of your actions not In con-
| formity with office. May God help you
| to resist the devil, so that you may en-
deavor to do your duty hereafter"
| Rev. Kuehner, after President Selp
had concluded, raised his head and said
that 1t was with sorrow and regret that
he had to be called to the front and
reprimanded
A recess was then taken.

SCRAP BETWEEN COLONELS.
kel Pound Each Other with Umbrella
and Cane.

and Cane.
Philadelphia, June 11.-There was
lively setto last night at Fifteenth and
Market streets between Colonel A. Lou
don Snowden. eX-minister to Greece
and Roumania, and Colonel William
NJ. Runkel. in which an umbrella and a
cane played prominent parts to the
detriment of the personal appearance
of the gentlemen engaged. The fight
was the outcome of an old grievance of
Colonel Runkel against Colonel Snow
den. Some years ago Colonel Snowden
was chief coiner of the mint here. and
Colonel Runkel was employed there at
the same time. Colonel Runkel alleges
that Colonel Snowden had him dis
charged for no cause, and this dis
missal has rankled in Runkeps mind
ever since. The story of the fight last
night between the two gentlemen Is
somewhat conflicting. Colonel Runkel
says that he unexpectedly met Colonel
SnoWden at Fifteenth and Market
streets, and said to him: II would like
to have a few words with you" but
that Colonel Snowden, with a sneerng
glance. passed him without replying.
This alleged insult was the elimination.
and Colonel Runkel admits that he lost
control of himself and struck Colonel
Snowden with his cane. Colonel Snow
den vigorously replied to the assault
with an umbrella and both gentlemen
battered each other roughly about the
head until the cane and umbrella had
become useless from the vigor with
which they were used and policeman
then appeared upon the scene and put
a stop to further hostilities by arrest
ing Colonel Runkel.
Colonel Runkel was given hearing
today on the charge of assault and
battery. Colonel Snowden testified
that he had not seen Runkel for years,
and Furthermore added that he had
always looked on him as dog and
unfit for a gentleman to associate
with" Colonel Snowden testified that
he had paid no attention to Colonel
Runkel when he met him last evening
and that he did not hear him address
him; the first intimation that he had Of
any trouble was violent blow upon
the head from a cane. He turned and
as he did so he said Colonel Runkel
cried out:
"D-n you; I'll kill you now," and
he then struck at Runkel with his UNI
brela. At the conclusion of the hear
ing Colonel Runkel was bound over in
$500 bail for court. At the hearing
Colonel Snowden wore briuse on his
forehead and a cut across his ear, and
Colonel Runkel had black eye and a
cut ear also

present situation it seems to me mere
folly to tallp about the free coinage of

implied greenback to every silver dol

narrow limit to the governments abil-
ity to do that besides, I know of no
reason why 1t should do It,

not keep the two metals on a parity
