Frank Bailey, the soapman, Seth King,
the butcher, and an ailing lamb figured
largely in a lively little sensation this
week. The lamb considerably died be-
fore it could be killed and served to the
public with green peas, and the two men
had pugilistic dispute as to which one
should officiate as undertaken to its re-
mains, neither being DESTROYS OF the hon.
or. The creature originally belonged to
Bailey and was sold by him for slaughter
ing purposes, but when 1t was found to be |
diseased he agreed to take it back. The |
difficulty arose when it became necessary
to remove the carcass and bury il. The
story seems to have as many sides as a
stovepipe, and every time you hear it told |
1t strikes you as something altogether diff |
ferent. The lamb was the only one of the |
three but what survived the episode.

A notable sermon was preached by the
tev. seward Robson at the union meeting /
leld last Sunday evening in the Methodist
'hurch. His text was, "And there are di-
yersities of administration but the same
Lord. ri. Cor. xii. 5. The sermon was
,lea for cooperation between the churches
md sharp rebuke OF the proselytizing
pirit. The preacher thought that while
ach church should care for its own peo-
lie and work for the evangelization OF
hose who are not members Of any church,
t should not attempt to swell it's own
membership or increase its Sunday school
~ unfairly attracting to its services the
members or children OF other denomina-
ions. He was in favor Of cooperation in
hristian work but did not believe in
hurch unity, and made very good ar
,ument in support OF his views. He
bought the seven leading denominations
,etter than only one church although
hey may cost more to maintain. He did,
However, admit that there is little too
much division in our Christianity and
hat few of the 143 sects in this country

ublic welfare. He recognized the evil
ent desire Of, and tendency to, union as
hown by the international Sunday School
invention, the Y. p. s. e. Z. and the Y.
