THE THIEF IN PARADISE. -
BY REV. II. SLADE.

l find that somehow my view of
this subject is quite different from
what is frequently expressed in the
columns of our papers. We have to
understand that the contemporary
opinion of those living in the Saw
ours day, was that their Messiah
when he should come, would come as
King of the Jews, and would estab.
lish literal, temporal kingdom here
upon the earth. This seems to have
been the opinion of the disciples of
Jesus even after his death and resur-
rection, for they say to him, "Wilt
thou at this time restore again the
kingdom to Israeli" Nothing is
palmer than that they were looking
for such King, and such kingdom.
And is it at all probable that the
thief had any different view from
this; or that he was looking for any
different kingdom when he said, "Re-
member me when thou contest into
thy kingdom"
The charge as brought against
Jesus at the time of his crucifxion
was, that he was an impostor, or trai-
tor to the teaching of Moses, and that
he was stirring up or exciting sedi.
tion by setting himself up as another
king. 1t will be observed that the
soldiers mocked and reviled him say
ing, "If thou be the King of the
Jews save thyself." The question
comes, How save himself9 And how

guilty and should be punished, no
matter under what conditions or what
he may offer as an excuse. If man
can so influence another as to make
him perform criminal act, punish
the accessory by all means, but do
not let the actual criminal go free.
The criminal should be punished
whenever found, and no such excuses
as the nineteenth century hypnotism
or the seventeeth century witchcraft
should find place in courts of JUS

person hypnotized could not have re-
sisted it would be different matter.

far and near, looks wistfully TO Edin-
burgh, and, if he can get chance,
goes to Edinburgh to drop his fishing
rod in its pools. And, what we think
hard, rich England is constantly
sending circulars and appeals and
even agents on behalf of institutions
precisely similar to ourown And all
the winter we are having "bazar" or
sales of ladies' work on behalf of this
scheme or the other. Yet it is won
derful with what patience the "givers"
submit to their lot. Some growl and
grumble, but the most part feel that
giving is a sacred duty, and that
their business is to give wisely and
we'll.
There is strong religious life in
Edinburgh, but it is the life of a mi
nority. Religious restraints are gal
ling to the mass, and many encroach-
ments on the old traditions as to the
Sabbath, and the church, the theater,
the ball room, and SO forth, are grad
ually taking place. But there remain
some to whom the kingdom of God
Is the one great interest of their lives.
And few earnest men and women
have great influence. Usually it
will be found that the religious char
acter of a place is determined not by
the average spirit of the many, but
by the earnest spirit of the few.

EDITORIAL BRIEFS.
BY PRESIDENT I. NJ. ATWOOD, D. D

A PARAGRAPH has been circulated
not very freely-which purports to be
the response of editor Whitelaw Reid to
the toast "The Independent Press" The
substance of it is, "there is no indepen-
dent press" the editors are "the tools
and vassals of the rich men behind the
scenes" The paragraph is probably an
invention. Mr.. Reid is himself a large
stockholder in his paper. and it would
not be like him to speak out, even at a
banquet, in the style represented. But
there is enough truth in the outburst at
tributed to him to put very keen point
on the satire. Rich men, or poor men,
certainly men behind the scenes" often
shape the ideas and utterances expressed
with so much apparent authority and
independence by the knight of the type
writer. The business Office determines
largely the editorial inspiration.
An intelligent effort to establish re-
lations of comfy between workingmt n
and the churches should be encouraged;
though it is not clear to us why the
workingmen should be mediated by the
churches more than the merchants or
the school-teachers This treating with
classes instead of with individuals irres-
pective of class, is essentially anti-Demo.
cratic and anti Christian. Yet. as we
were saying, all intelligent efforts to
bring workingmen into closer and more
cordial relations with the churches
should receive the sympathy and Co
operation of Christian people. Mr.. A.
A. Carlton, a representative Of the work
ingmen and an active church worker. is
recommended by many clergymen and
others as a lecturer whose mission is to
make of these twain one, SO making
peace.
In the American Men of Letters
the latest to come to hand is Edward
Cary's Life of Geo. w Curtis. Mr.. Cary
is New Yorker and journalist and
man whose memories embrace the whole
period of Mr.. Curtis's life as an author
and public man. He has made an in
teresting biography. of course; and his
treatment of some phrases of his subject
could not be improved. But the memoir
is uneven and ON the whole leaves much
to be desired. Considerable use is made
of Mr.. .Curtis's letters, but the biographer
confines himself too exclusively to those
MI 10 -
and personal experienee-more Boswell,
would have given stronger flavor of
life to the narrative. The subject af-
forded the elements of interest. and his
public career and achievements the de-
tails. for an ideal biography.

~ "IGETmy dogma from authority"
said Phillips Brooks, "as get my package
from the ship. But it is the soul. the
conscience which turns the dogma back
again to truth. No soul can feed on dog
ma, as no man can eat the package which
is landed on the wharf. Authority may
bring what dogma has been given it to
bring. Only the dogma which can be
opened into truth can live. Only the
truth which the soul appropriates gives
life"

THE CASE OF CANDIDATE NAyLoR.

THE CASE OF CANDIDATE NAYL0R.
The following somewhat lengthy
editorial appeared in the Kansas
civ Star of the Goth inst:
There has always been curious
disposition to mix up politics and
religion in Kansas. This comb.
nation, strange to tell, has not re-
suited in the publication of politics
and il is certain that ii is has not
elevated the standard of religion
But the affinity continues, in the
face of many lessons going to
prove that these two things are not
compatible.
Out in Baxter Springs there is q
stiff fight over the mayoralty, and
both candidates are making hard
pull for the support of the church
people. On last Sunday morning
the friends of one of them distrib
uted circular setting forth the fol
lowing facts: "Naylor is no hyp'
ocrite." "Naylor is a straight-oui
Christian" "Naylor is Methodist
at heart" "Naylor thinks well of the
Presbyterians and Hard Shell Bap'
lists" MAYORS son, Walt, is a
Campbellite." 1t is obvious that il
is the purpose of Naylor to "catch
'em goin' and comm" He has set
out to capture the whole shooting
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Calvinists,
Parthians, Modes, Elamites, Cretes
and Arabians." But the thought
will at once occur to the conserva-
tive reader that Naylor is attempt
ing too much. He has marked out
more ground than he can cover. 1t
he is Methodist at heart, he can't
make any Roadway with the Christ
ians and Baptists. He must be-
lieve eitheri in sprinkling or INNER
sion, and there is no way to strad-
die the issue. If he thinks well OF
the Presbyterians he can't turn his
back on the Westminster confession
of faith and hold to the Wesleyan
doctrine that every man is a free
moral agent. If he himself is a
Methodist and his son Walt, is. a
Campbellite, that goes to prove
that he has mighty little influence
in his own family. A man should
be able to rule his household be-
fore aspiring to govern munich
pality.
Naylor has overreached the mark,
and the people of Baxter Springs
will be smart enough TO see II. 1t
takes mighty smooth citizen to be
all things to all men. Ninety-nine
persons who attempt II make a mess
: of II. Paul had the art down fine,
but If the great apostle of the Gen.
tiles were living to-day he would
not be running for mayor in n little
town like Baxter Springs
The chances are that Naylor is
already beaten. The theological
buzz-saw is the best thing in the
world TO let alone. People who
have no piety visible TO the naked
eve can be easily "set by the ears
by arousing their sectarian pre-
iudices. There Is nothing more
bitter and implacable than reiig-
ious contention. Naylor will have

NAyLOR ON the WAR PATH.

C. Naylor is a candidate for
mayor of Baxter Springs. Naylor
is a good fellow, n stockman and
has made Tom Kinmouth, Bill Bel
Ter and others hide out when they
were stampeding his cattle in the
Indian Territory, and used no other
inducement than Winchester. but
the report started lately that he has
become regular attendent at
church and that his Oldest son, Walt,
is n member of the Campebllite
church, will no doubt be the means
of his defeat. as he is democrat,
and their motives are well known to
be anything but sincere.-Joplin
News.
Upon seeing the above statement
Naylor flew into a rage (stampeded
as il were) and said he could whip
the writer of il in less time and on
less ground than il would require
to bury his small carcass. Naylor
says he can stand all sorts of accu-
satious and implications except be-
ing called a democrat. The man
who says he is democrat will have
TO fight whenever he comes within
range. Naylor thinks the red-head-
ed rosebud of local editor of the
Joplin News meant to directly in
suit him when he wrote the above
item.
