A Minister'S Story.

"Not long ago. says a Philadelphia
clergyman, II made an earnest appeal
during a. Sunday morning service for
contributions to support certain branch
of the church work. The ushers dis
tribated blank subscription cards, which
were to be filled out with promises to
pay specified sums within a year, and re-
turned. One of our leading members
filled out his card for IS, but by the
time the ushers collected the blanks he
had changed his mind and decided not
to give anything. He held the paper
in his hand until the church service
was over, and upon leaving the church
tore it up into little pieces and threw it
into the street. Providence had an eye
on that man, anu SO did a policeman
who stood on the corner. The latter ar
rested the erring brother for throwing
the paper in the street. took him to the
police station, and had him locked uD
The next morning he was fined $3.50
for violating city ordinance. New

lowed by the ruin OF all Industries the
destruction of public and private credit,
and irrepaTable mischief.

form commits us to the maintenance Of the
democratic faith. Many of our associates.
deluded by deceptive sophistries. are sup

The best we can hope for them is that
they may be defeated, and when defeated
they may return to the safe paths that
they have heretofore trodden.
