CHRISTIAN UNION WORK.
BY E. P. SINCLAIR. WATERLOO, IA.
TACOMA, WASH.

THE following address was given at the Y
P. C. U. State meeting at Mount Pleasant, June
1861
The topic which has been assigned to
me requires no long dissertation, but
take it that the little that may be said
is very important as regards the sue
cess of our devotional meetings. And
upon warm, energetic and interesting
devotional meeting depends the useful
ness and perpetuity of our local Unions.
The first duty of the leader of a meet
ing should be to seek right personal or
Observation-Disclosures to get in
tune with the spirit of the Most High,
and to feel the responsibility of leading
the spiritual thought and purpose of the
hour.
This heart-preparation can be secured
by secret prayer and meditation, and by
reading and study of selections from the
Bible and other literature which teach
the much needed lessons of faith, faith
fulnees, and our influence upon others,
according to the measure of our true
following of the Master. in doing good
Let it be understood always that the
helpfulness and lasting good effect of
our devotional meetings depend more
than all else upon the spiritual temper
of the members, and more especially of
the leader.
The second duty Of the leader may be
called mental or intellectual preparation
for particular meeting. This means such
thorough study Of the topic, the script
ure references and related literature,
as that he or she may be able to talk in
an orderly and interesting way upon the
theme, to the spiritual edification of the
members present.

ings may find it best, indeed necessary.
to provide clippings containing quota
tions or scripture references bearing up
on the subject in hand, to be distributed
to the members.
But this should not be the regular Gus
tom. Each member of the Union should
study the subject during the preceding
week, and make the above provision for
him or herself, and not expect the leader
to carry the work.
AS secondary duty, inasmuch as it
contributes much to the success Of the
meeting, the leader should select the
songs to be used before the time to open
the meeting, and select such as in senti
ment harmonic with the topic for the
hour, SO far as possible.
Need | speak Of the duty of a leader
as to punctuality? Whatever the hour
set for the meeting the leader land others
also) should be on hand at the stated
time, and better ten or fifteen minutes
I
before, and begin promptly. Nothing so
effectually kills interest in our young
peoples meetings as to have them drag,
the members or leader struggling along
in ten, fifteen, or twenty minutes behind
time.
1t means hard work to get read to
lead Y. P. G. U. meeting, but no more
work than the faithful member will
cheerfully give and gladly perform il the
heart is dedicated to our cause of truth
and righteousness. And that leads me
to say, that to my thinking every loyal
and consecrated Unioner must needs de
sire to become a member of the church,
for closerfellowship to make practice con
sistent with profession and to make ex-
ample potent in influence for good upon
children of the church, and might add,
upon some Of the fathers and mothers in
our Zion as we'll.
Oh let us all as leaders see it to be our
duty to stand by our colors, thankful to
God for this revelation of his truth, and
rejoicing in this glorious faith which
makes us free.

THE USE OF SUNDAY.
BY REV. E. ]. FELT.
NoBLE.O.

If there were no need written
deeply in mans physical being for a
seventh day rest from labor Chris
tians could have no authority for de-
handing the suspension of activities
on that day. Christ nowhere enjoins
the observance of the day, though he
frequently refers to the Moseic law
and tells the rich young man what
ones of the commandments heshould
keep.
The Jewish Sabbath was in it's
origin and purpose simply a day of
physical and mental rest, although
the priests soon learned to seize it as
an opportunity for exacting special
Religious observances. 1t was day
of rejoicing.
But the Christians could not OBJ
serve the seventh day of the week as
a day of rejoicing, for on that day

THE AVAILABILITY AND IMMUTA-

The cause for regret at the death of
James " Scott of The Chicago Times
Herald Is mainly that man who had
achieved so much IN the way OF building
MP large newspapers should be thus IN
timely cut off in the prime OF life. But
there is one other reason which has a
germ of selfishness in 1t to those who en-
tertain it, and that was his sturdy stand
against advertisers controlling the COL
umns of his newspaper. The writer re-
members his address before the National
E EDITORIAL Association meeting at st. Paul
some years ago, one OF the salient points
IF which was, though not urged With
btrusive force, that the business part OF
the office should yield to no outside die
tation.
Advertisers are prone to believe they
own the paper to the extent OF their pat
rouage. This is largely true of societies
and churches which rarely pay for no.
tees, or if they do, ii is with such bac
grace that no self-respectIng person car
accept it. But they will dictate position
with as much Eoncbalence as If they
were comforting a favor.
The magnificent appearance of the ole
Herald was due to the fact that Mr.
Scott taught the lesson that the pape
belonged TO the proprleLors; that the.
owe a duty to themselves and to thel
readers and that people who do no
choose to recognize that fact might g
elsewhere with The ir business. Thi
would not be bad lesson for publish er
of local newspapers to take to heart.

A PECULIAR case of divorce and mar
riage occurred here lately. A man named
Willert was married some time ago. His
wife, at party, got into a s9uabble with
another woman and struck her. She
was arrested for the offense, plead guilty
and was sentenced 10 20 days in the
county jail. During that time her hus-
band began proceedings for divorce. AT
ter the release of his wife be told her be
had withdrawn the proceedings and they
would again live together. He continued
to visit her though they lived separately.
Last week he went to Sheboygen in com
pany with his attorney whom be had
told that he had made amicable arrange
ment with his wife for a divorce. Her
attorney was seen and told of the arrange
ments and tried TO consult with his client
but could not reach her. Wlllert's story
was believed but he was warned botn by
the Judge and his attorney while at She
bOygan that an uDtruth would be a seri-
Gus thing for him. The divorce was gran
ted and then it was learned that Willert
had deceived the court and his own at
torney. A warrant was sworn out for
his arrest. An officer came from Sheboy-
gan, arrested him and he was brought
before a justice for examination. The
woman was averse to sending him to
state prison, he was anxious to escape
the consequences of his act, and so the
parties were married again on Saturday
evening last. A divorce and remarriaee
inside of a week is not bad record for a
city like Manltowoc which is just begin
ming to put on metropolitan airs.

Catholic church near by. The water
Is pumped into a tank of about $50

means of underground pipes to the

The whole thing is very ingeniously
planned and arranged.

CHICAGO is in the peculiar position of
being without democratic paper to-day.
Lately The Herald and The Times were
consolidated a controlling interest in
each having been. purchased by J. W.
Scott, who soon after died. Last week
a majority o. the stock was purchased by
II. II. kohlsaat, formerly proprietor of
The Inter Ocean. The Times Herald
will hereafter be a republican paper.
Thus by two steps. made in rapid sue
cession, two great democratic journals
have passed under control of the oppos-
tie party. This condition will not be al
lowed to continue very long, but the
difficulty will be that the rush to fill the
vacancy will make it necessary to await
some time the action Of the survival of
the bitterest.

THE Appleton Post mercilessly scores
the Legislature for lte sins of omission
and commission. The acts by which it
will be best remembered are delivering
itself of Jerry Dobhs and the reorganlza-
tion of the state board Of control, both
of which might we'll have gwen way to
more important legislation.
The Pest then summarizes the impor-
taut bills introduced and backed by al
most unanimous public sentiment. which
the Legislature refused to pass.
Such criticisms coming from paper
IN harmony with the majority in the
legislature politically, cannot fail to have
a good effect as the indifferent or negh-
gent legislator will not feel that his par
ty will be his shield.

THERE is no doubt in the mind of any
one who has observed events, that the
Issue III the election of 1896 will be the
mon question. Tariff, for the time, is
cast aside to make room for this other
question whose effects are more immedl-
ate. There will necessarily follow large
desertlnns from both parties and acces-
sions to the populists. On the whole 1t
is a good sign when people quit their
party for priL cIple's sake.
