SUNDAY was the great day here, The
weather was fine. The town was full
of visitors. 1t was more than an ordl-
nary Sunday during conference. 1t
was day of special interest TO this
community, particularly Tor the Metil-
odists. The handsome new Methodist
church, costing sixteen thousand dol-
lars, had been finished, every cent o. 1t
piad for, and Sunday was dedica1oh
day. After early morning love }eaSl
conducted by Rev. Frank H. Wood, the
church was soon filed by as good ana
prosperous loking congregation as
have seen anywhere. This IS NOT
wealthy congregations and thelF
achievement of building and paying
for a rs thousand dollar church shows
a degree of liberality seldom witness
ed. The dedication sermon by blShoP
Duncan will be long remembered. III
was on the duties of a shepherd, and
in the course Of the sermon he pald ms
respccts to men who hastily and with
out preparation essay to preach the
gospel He may not have been hitting
Sam Jones and Bill Fife. but he struck
them some hard blows right between
the eyes. His picture OF the falthless
shepherd AN hireIjng con
strasting him with the true shepherd
was drawn with master hand. III
there was any preacher in the cohgre-
CATION who is making the ministry
profession and remaining in it to get
a living. he must have felt like praying
for the rocks and the hills to fall upon
him that ne might never again let men
look upon his face. 4 more biblical
like demonstration OF men who serve
at holy affairs Ito get a little living
could not be delivered by mortal man.
But there was more In the sermon
than rebukc and repr0oi for the I'M
faithful There was the picture OF the
rood shepherd and an idealization OF
his mission in the world that lifted mp
the aspirations Of men 10 higher con
.ceDtions of life and duty. 1t was a
wonderful sermon, tie best nave
heard Bishop Duncan preach, and
made a lasting impression for GOOD up
on the great congregation that heard
him gladly Isn't i strange how we
do not oct tired Of long sermon if 1t
Is also great sermon? The ciamor
for short sermons is in most instances
an appeal for good sermons. After the
sermon. Mr.. {. j. Matthew's chairman

This was succinctly stating the good

solved to make no change in the policy
that has been pursued III connection

The Trustees Of Trinity College had
protested against the policy, on the

The Healer.

The following srsocaited Press dis patch is sent out from Trinidad. Col {: Francis Schlatter.th healer ,devisted from bis course and stopped last night at the residence of Alex Lay at Los Trores, a village few miles from here and while he was a-leep, his host made discovery that has set the whole country taking.
 The healer carries a case about ,hr.e feet long and it as been report cd that it is A rife. Lay prompted hy curiousi,y, examined it, and found that it contained a copper god three feet long and weighing 20 pounds. It was bright and shining.
 As he could not imagine what pos sible use it would be, Lay asked Schlstter in the morning. The healer appeared much put out at the question and finally stated that an extraord- mary looking man, evidently an angel Of God met him on the road way, hand ed him the rod, and cautioned him to preserve and carry it until his Father told him to discard it. He requested Lay to say thing about it, because it would displease the Father, but Lay had already told a n-ighbor.
 l. is supposed by the people oI Los Tijores th t the rod is magical and that with 1t wonderful cures are effected or that he draws his powel irom it,"
 It is a mystery and everybody i' talking about it. He treated 20t people there before he started on hi. way south.

The high esteem and regard [ fellow citizen and townsman IS held who has been identified with Tomb stone Tor many years was never more fttingly manifested than the parting ovation paid Wm. Bartholomew last night at the lodge rooms in SchIeffelin Hall on the occasion of his leaving his old home for California.
 The gathering cf hi. friends was fraternal and the meeting was pre- sided over by CIV. Swain who acted as toastmaster. The toasts were numer- ou. and were responded tn with a heartiness and good will characteristic of the bond which binds the member ship oi the fraternal orders of Tomb stone together.
 MT. Bartholomew through hi. ster- ling worth and social qualities has won for himself a popularity that is not confine ed 10 Tombstone alone, and thus his departure is one of universal and sincere regret. He has served with credit as city treasurer and council man in this city. was an honored member and interested worker and officer in the K. of P, A. 0.
