Proceedings were instituted in the SUI
perior court yesterday to conclude a sale
of the stock of furniture and fixtures be-
longing to the estate of the late Emil A
Schwarz.
Under the will the executors, Mrs. LOU
lisa Schwarz. Maj. John Schwarz. Messrs.
William p. Bowling and Joseph w. jack
son, were required to wind up the BUSH
ness within year and to invest the pro-
ceeds in good securities, the interest from
which is to go to Mrs. Sehwarz during her
life, after which the property is to be di-
vided among the eight children.
In pursuance of this provision of the
will part of the stock has been sold at
retail, but 1t was found impossible to dis
pose of 1t advantageously within the year,
in that manner. and the executors adver-
tised for bids. The highest cash bid for
the stock, exclusive of accounts, was
$4,000, but that amount was considered in
adequate, when invested in securities for
the purposes for which 1t is intended and
application was made to the court for
permission to sell the stock, fixtures, ac-
counts and all to August w. Schwarz,
who bid $780, 900 for it.
This disposition was considered of bet
ter advantage to the estate, and a ver-
diet and decree were taken in accordance
with the requests in the petition.

A Noble Passage.

In our foreign exchanges we some
times come upon passages from works
unfamiliar. Here is one from Profes-
son Bovon, a French theologian,
which portrays the true attitude of the
Christian minister:
"The Gospel is the message of a
King, Let it go forward then with
head uplifted, without arrogance, and
devoid of shame of fear. Let it rid it
self of those childish ornaments with
which it has too often been bedecked
to please the fancy of the times, but
which have only hampered its ad-
vance and yelled its divine majesty.
Let it advance in its kingly simplicity.
"Men may hate it because it con-
demns sin but none have right to
treat it with indifference or disdain.
"It is too great to be other than eth
er our adversary or our master.
ut can do we'll without apologies
to pretend to be it's advocate is an in
suit.
1.-THE only part, mere humble one,
which suits theologian is that OF q
faithful guide who takes the hand of
those who various misunderstanding
have been kept far from Jesus Christ,
and invites them to approach in order
to know Him."-N. Y. Advocate.
