GOD INTERCHANGEABLE.

Since it is admitted that the whole
human race are bound by nature to
worship something, and that it is
equally obvious that worshippers be-
come assimilated in character to the
idea they entertain of the being they
worship, these facts make it highly
important that men should be ex-
tremely careful to obtain a true, an
incontrovertible, and unassailable
knowledge of their God. With these
thoughts in our mind, while we wor-
ship, we may ask, "What is the true
character of the object of our adora-
toni" 1t is impossible to set aside
the proof we have of the existence of
an Intelligence orPower who governs
the Universe. Except from our own
intuition, the only knowledge we can
obtain of this being is from the Bible.
We learn from the Bible that God is
love, omnipotent, omnipresent, ON
nicient, and infinite in every attri-
butte, and never changes. If that is
the true character of God, then he is
not disappointed by some unexpect-
ed event.
The assertions of Moses, that God
repented, on so many different occa-
sions, is undeniable proof, that he
knew but little of the truth as to
what God is. And so it is with David,
the man after Gods own heart, who
put to death his prisoners of war in
the most horrible manner. He thanks
and glorifies God for the destruction
of his enemies. Little is said or
thought of their instruction or refor-

BOOK REVIEW.

Life in Ohio, from 1913 to 1840," by
w. G. Howells, with an introduction by
his son. William Dean Howels, Publish
ed by, tie Robert Clarke Co., CinciA-
natl. The antiquarian is alive to the
investigation into the manners and GUS
toms of the ancients, for by these things
are we to know the people proper. The
historian deliberately records the &C
Movements Of war and the pomp of
courts, and loses sight of the great macs
of the people who make the former
things possible. The book before US
tells in a simple, unaffected, but inter
esting way how people lived and what
they did in the early settlement of Ohio,
interspersed with many incidents which
make the story very interesting. Mr..
Howells has conferred great favor ON
the future historian and antiquarian in
making this record.
This book is owing to suggestion
made by the son some ten years age,
that the father should iot down the facts
pertaining to his pioneer life. After the
death of the father, the son, William
Dean Howells, revised the manuscript,
and in an attractive form, has given tho
"reminiscences to the public. While the
book is of special value to every native
and citizen of Ohio. it will commend it's
self also to any one interested in the
self sacrifices of the early settlers of the
West. From it we may know how our
fathers md grandfatners lived, acted,
and thought, and what were their en-
vironments.
The stories we listened to around the
old Preside are vanishing one by one as
the lips of their narrators become hushed
in death. These can only be preserved
by recording them in books and these
books should come from the principal
actors
The book not only enters into sugar
making and other industries. but takes
up important questions, as early schools,
abolition societies. political parties, re-
ligious schisms, etc. In short the book
fills void which, practically, has never
been entered upon before, and thus be-
comes of double value. The future his
torian of Ohio will draw largely from its
columns.
The name OF the publishers is a sufi-
Gent guarantee that the mechanical
part has been we'll executed.
The name OF the editor will cause the
book to find its way into all the large Ii
braries. It's merits will win its way into
private homes. j.. Pm.

means are possible or reasonable, is
devitalizing and harmful. To be
discontinued, dissatisfied with attain
ments as means unto ends, so that
our advance is hindered, SO that fur
ther and better achievement is baked,
is not only foolish, but sinful, for thus
is the very purpose of discomfort, as
the gift of God, defeated in the per-
verseness of ones soul.
To be discontinued, so that all the
tones of the voice, or the most, are
grumble tones, is evil. The DISPOSE
ton becomes evil, and it is not to be
cured by any appliances from with
out. Regeneration from within is
necessary and possible. In the story
of Grumble Tone that was sick of
land, sick at sea, and sick everywhere,
The reason was that, north or south where'er
his steps we're bent,
On land or sea, in court or hall, he found but
discomfort;
For he took his disposition with him everywhere
he went"
To be discontinued, so that we be-
gin selfshly looking for a place of
contentment, is evil. There was a
man who had health and wealth, with
several houses finely furnished, to and
from which he and his family would
sometimes move. Being asked by a
friend why he moved so often from
one house to another, he replied sit
is to find content in some one of
them"
To be disconnected, SO that we
shall be dissatisfied in the sphere
where we were meant to live and
work and where we may be useful, is
evil. DIR. Joseph Parker beautifully
says, "A fern told me that it was too
bad to be always shut up in shady
place, and that it wanted to grow be-
side the red rose in the garden. The
fern said, Il have as much right to be
out in the sunshine as the rose has,
and l will be out / transplanted
the little malcontent, and in one hot
day the sun struck it dead with his
dart of fire." And he draws the les
son that if we are where Christ means
us to be, in shade or light, in low sta
ton or high, and are doing his will
with us, it is we'll.
To be discontinued, so that we
shall be fault finding and dispo'ed
to rail at Providence and not dis
posed to submit to the guidance and
direction of an all-wise and all-pow
erful Being that rules over us and all,
is evil and the worst evil of discon
tent. The advice of Ella Wheeler
Wilcox is wise and good:
"Don't look for the flaws as you go through life;
And even when you find them.
1t is wise and kind to be somewhat blind
And look for the virtues behind them.
For the cloudiest night has a hint of light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding;
1t is better by far to hunt for star
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current of life runs ever away
To the bosom of Gods great ocean.
Don't set your force 'gainst the rivers course
And think to alter its motion.
Don't waste a curse on the universe
Remember it lived before you
Don't butt at the storm with your puny form
But bend and let it go DER you.
"The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whims to the letter.
Some things must go wrong your whole life long.
And the sooner yon know it the better.
1t is folly to fight with the Infinite.
And go under at last In the wrestle,
The wiser man shapes into Gods plan
AS the water shapes into vessel"

The Indignation Meeting Requested
Not to Arouse Feeling.
The indignation meeting proposed to be
held at Mt. Carmel Church last night to
take action on the shooting Of Ernest
Green by Miss Flagler attracted little at
tention. Until $50 the church was closed
held. A few people came and went away,
supposing the meeting had been given up.
A few minutes later Col. Perry Carson.
Rev. ]. Anderson Taylor and Rev. Mr.. Glib
bons came up and entered the church. The
storm coming up drove a few passers-by
inside. and in a few minutes the meeting
was opened by Col. Carson, who stated the
OBJECT OF the call and asked Rev. Mr.. Tay-
lor to make a statement in regard to the
matter. Mr.. Taylor said that as the pastor
OF the bereaved family he desired to state
for the parents of the dead boy their wish
that the colored people should stay their
action for the present. In view of the fact
that public opinion had demanded action
by the proper authorities, and 1t now
seemed likely that steps would be taken to
do justice, it would be out Of place for col
oled citizens to hold a meeting such as the
condition Of things at the outset seemed to
demand The matter seemed row to have
ceased to be subject to race prejudice, and
the white citizens of Washington were In
sisting that justice be done. With this
view of the matter, the idea OF expressing
ing feeling on the matter was uncalled for
Mr.. and Mrs. Green expressly desired that
nothing of the kind should be done.
A motion to adjourn was made and
promptly carried, and after the benediction
by Mr.. Gibbons. the little meeting dis
persed.
There were about thirty-ave people pres
emit.

Samuel Douglass Charged With Heart
less Treatment of His Bride.
Mrs Sophia L. Brussius, widow of John
Brussius, one of the victims of the Ford
Theater disaster, is very anxious to learn
of the whereabouts of her son-inlaw, Sam
uel Douglass, whose home is said to be in
Indiana. This young man came here only
about two months ago, but in that short
time he managed to get into the good
graces of Miss Minnie Brussius, and they
eloped to Baltimore and were married.
While there the unsuspecting young wife
drew 500 from bank and turned II over to
Douglass. They did some shopping and he
footed the bills with her money. When the
brief honeymoon was over and the young
couple returned here they stopped at a
hotel two days and then went to the home
of Mrs. Brussius. No. II II street. THE
young husband. so it is alleged, claimed
that he had deposited 500 of the money
in bank mere, and his herin-law, think
ing he had been truthful gave him check
for 800, and this check was cashcd at T.
A. Rovers grocery store. With this money
he said he wanted to go to Indiana, where
his father was i'll, and when he made a
start with his wife, presumably for In
diana, they stopped in Baltimore and the
young husband has not been heard of since.
Mrs. Brussius went over to Baltimore and
brought her daughter home. While here
Douglass. it is said, claimed that he was

alleged he attempted to swindle Mrs. Chase
OF No. 40 street by giving her a Worthless

niture. The police learned of the check
transaction and have made an investiga-
tion. No formal complaint has been lodged
against the young man, nor has any war;

Explosion I'm n Drug Store.

Thomas O'Connor, aged fifteen, clerk in
the drug store of Henry Evans, 93S F
street northwest, was painfully burned
about the lower limbs last night by an ex-
ploson of alcohol. He had gone into the
cellar for alcohol, and spilled some of it
while stumbling up the stairs. He lighted
match. and there was an immediate ex-
plosion. which enveloped him in flames.
He scrambled up the steps, and was cared
for by the people in the store, and, after
examination by doctor, was taken to his
home, 1115 23d street northwest. 1t is
thought he will be able to get out in few
days. The boys mother was burned to
death in this city a few years ago.
In the meantime the cellar was on fire,
and an alarm was turned in from the
Fords Theater box. Although the cellar
was stored with combustible and explosive
drugs and chemicals, and was filed with
smoke, the firemen plunged into it ard soon
extlnguished the blaze. The store is owned
by Mary Rocker, and the damage to it was
about $3.50. fully insured.
