FEDERAL JUDGES QUARREL.
The Trouble Arises Over the Dcadwood
Term of Court.

Term of Court.
There is bad blood between the federal
Judges in this part of the country, and
what the outcome will be can only be con-
jecturcd. Sometimes the federal judges
made a great ado over contempt shown the
court by litigants or lawyers and men are
sent to Jail or heavily fined for disrespect-
full language to or about the court, but it
seems that when the federal judges get af.
ter each other there is no such rule applied
and they have license to write very ugly
letters with impunity. The i'll feeling is
between Judge Edgerton of Sioux Falls
and Judge Dundy of Omaha. The latter
was assigned to go to Deadwood and hold
the October term of court. When he
reached Deadwood he found a burdened
docket, which, despite his own i'll health,
he proceeded to clear, and the term lasted
until . few days before Christmas. Judge

Comment by Rev. s. IL. Doyle.
Torr3 "A Christians problems and per-
IlcNitics.-l Kings iv, 1884; Luke Nj, u IL 10,
IL. "a question box meeting suGscSted.)
This life is largely made up of mys-
tcries There arc problems and perpleXi-
ties in every walk of life, and the Chris
tian's life is no exception. God has re-
vealed many precious things to us, and
yet i'll the spiritual as well as in the
material universe there are many things
that have not been revealed. 1t could
scarcely DO otherwise. God is infinite.
Wo are finite and if God had revealed
these things perhaps we would not have
been able to comprehend or understand
them. Christ practically said as much
to Nicodemus when he questioned Him
about the mysteries of the regeneration
of the soul, for He said, ''If tell you
of earthly things and Je cannot under
stand, how can you understand if l tell
You of heavenly things?"
Still there is in the human mind an
intense craving, so far as possible, to un-
derstand these problems and perpleXi
ties, and there is nothing wrong i'll this
desire nor the attempt to satisfy it, but
something may be wrong in the way we
attempt to solve these problems True
wisdom comes from God i'll some way.
Solomon was the wisest man who ever
lived, and yet he obtained all his wis
dom direct from God. But God has Civ
Ell US one even wiser than Solomon,
even Jesus Christ, His own Son, and
His wisdom surpassed that of all men
because He was God as well as man.
Therefore Christ should be our final
court of appeal in all the problems of
life. When worried apd perplexed, we
should 60 to His word to sec what He
has to say upon the subject, and when
He does not satisfy every desire or cray
ing We should leave it all with Him
and trust God for what has not been
revealed. "Tbo secret things belong un-
to the Lord our God, but the things that
have been revealed belong unto US and
to our children forever, that we may do
all the works of this law"
The great lesson that these problems
and perplcXities should teach US is sim
pie childlike trust i'll God. God knows
what is best for us. He knew what to
reveal for our good and what not to re-
veal The secret things, the mysteries
of life, belong to Him. Let Us leave them
with Him. The things that have been
revealed belong to us. Let US live up to
what has been revealed, and we may
rest assured that if wo do tho day will
come when we shall understand oven
tho Christian problems and pcrplcxities

1t is the connection of every truth
with the mediation Of Christ that makes
real Christianity to be not afraid Of the
progress of any class of truths. Some
times in the infancy of any given sol
ence plausible theories are advanced as
having II tone of contradiction to Scrip
turc, but the discipline of a mature phi
losophy never fails to show that the con-
