Rev. C. Hawley Fem, pastor of the
First Congregational church of Leav-
enwort Kan, delivered Il sensatio nal
philippe against milling among so
ciety women in that city. He said
among other things:
There are papers published whose
business is the presentation of spicy
police news, illustrated prOfusely to at
tract the attention and money of the
coarse and vicious. Oae OF these pap
ers recently published picture OF
some woman in dresses extremely dec

joyipg game of draw poker, while
one with her hand to her head, was rep
resented as eXclaiming: 4 am ruined
forever :"
'.The scene is expla ned as one of the
society circles of Leavenworth, Kan.
And it is true that many women, in.
stead of Boosting of their doing fancy
work, will proudly show the sideboard
loaded with china, won at progressive
euchre, and unblushiugly recount the
victories Of gambling table. If they
by acutenes5 won tie prizes, it wa:

due them, for the cards were dealt by
chance. But still they boast over whal

A Fort Worth dispatch says: The
battle of flowers to be held here May Il
has aroused the enthusiasm OF the
whole people and great preparations
are being made to make it grand
pageant. The com mittee on arrange
ments and the committee of ladies are
both working hard.
A feature will be the float of Cleo
patra, the originator OF the first battle
OF flowers. There will be float from
each public school; many elaborate and
comic features; bicycles q speciality,
and several hundred gaily decked car
riages in parade.
The streets will be decorated and at
night illuminated as never before. A
reception At the commercial club and a
ball at the Worth are provided by the
ladies, and the entire city will be
thrown open to it's guests. The date
was changed so as to permit the Texas
State Press association to be present
in body by special invitations: many
prominent personages will be here, and
the railroads are making special rates;
all Texas can come and join in the
great May festival.

The Journey to Emmaus.

Rector Martin pre- 4ched last night in
ST Clements church from Luke
XIV :35; land they told what things
We're done in the way, and how he was
known of them in breaking of bread"
The speaker said, this is a beautiful
passage, this narrative of what occurred
on easter evening. The two who were
walking the road were hardly apostles
but they might have been of the seven-'
ty. 1t seemed at the time as though
the thoughts of the resurrection were
as nothing. The things that the savior
had suffered a appeared to have passed
away. AS the travellers talked to the
unknown visitor, not OF Christ as
risen lord, but as one of the prophets,
be asked them if the Christ ought not
to have suffered. died and rose again.
The object of the church is to do
what Christ did for these two men, to
set forth the reasons, thu facts of the
christian faith, about the coming of
our blessed Lord, the man Christ Jesus,
his manifestations, his teachings. his
mighty works, his resurrection from
the dead. The great objects of all
christian teachings is to show how the
savior suffered and died to save us.
Through his death comes all life. Can
we say ''abide in me" truly. Do we
want him within US? Don't we fear his
presence? Let US rather look unto
him who is the harbinger of eternal
hope our salvation and promise in
eternal life, the author and finisher Of
our faith.

Rev. w. o Millicao, the new Bap.
| list preacher, filled the local pulpit for
the first time yesterday morning, and
| every seat in the house was occupied.
He spoke on the calling of man to
the Christian ministry, the topic being
illustrated by the II, Is, 10, 20 verses
of Acts X, the vision of Peter. The
speaker used no notes, and preached
| with earnestness as though fully alive
| to the importance of his theme. He
said 10 part; 1t has been said that ''God
| moves in mysterious ways his wonders
| to perform, he plants his foot upon the
seas, and rides upon the storm" The
reason of the mystery OF Gods dealing
with men is because we are not initial
ed. We are on a lower level, and rs
we do not comprehend that happens on
the higher planes, it appears to us
that Gods ways are myster GUS, God
has brought about things in our lives
that we never dreamed of until they
were upon us. God moved mysterious
ly with Peter, contrary to his
desires and wishes when he
said, "Arise and eat of the all man
ner of animal life contained in that
sheet let down from heaven. If we are
the true children of God we will hear
his command and go and do whatever
we are moved to do of the Holy Spirit.
People are called to be special minis
tiers to special people. God infu-
enced certain peop'e to call Peter, a
particular map for particular people
and a particular purpose. The question
is often asked now Is the religion of the
latter day the religion OF the Bible, or is
Bible is the true faith, and the speaker
cited instances God calling the pro-
phets of old and paving way for the
coming of the Messiah. Christ said.
''As the Father sent me, SO do 1 send
you into all the world to preach the
Gospel to every creature" The reli-
gion of Christ is a spiritual religion,
and it is fatal to the spiritual life of
any church to take an action with re-
regard to pastoral work without con-
sulting the divine will.
In reference to the method of God g
call to the ministry, God takes as much
care in this mater now as at any time.
God selects his workers, just as much |
as any man selects those who are to
labor under his direction. The first
thing, in selecting pastor, is for q
people to get in prayerful frame of
mind. The man called is worked upon |
by the Holy Spirit until he feels that
he must accept the call made on him.
Peter. under the influence of Gud's |
grace, cast aside his rejudices, and |
obeyed God in this matter. calling
nothing common or unclean to which !
ne had been called by the divine COM
mand. The preacher related instances |
of where men who were called, had |
begun in a very dlffident way, but who |
turned out to be the greatest preachers. |
There is not more exalted calling in |
existence than that of the christian |
ministry.
Mr.. Millican closed with strong
call upon his hearers to help him in his !
new work, to pray for h m and aid him |
in every way possible for his works |
sake. He preached in the evening

Look After Your Children.

Rev.H. w. Moore preached to cOngre-
cations yesterday, that were linn ted on
~ by the capacity of the house. Three
children were baptized in the morn ng
when the pastor preached a baDtis nal
sermon from the text. And he walked
in all the sins of his father 1 Kings,
XV:3. The speaker said; there is NOT q
scin,illa for doubt but that good blood,
bad blood, proud blood, hum BILE blood,
thieving blood, cowardly bl .od is be-
queathed from parent to offspring. 1t
may skip a generation but it comes at
last.The law of heredity isterrifi ally in
earnest. The mills of the gods grind
slow, but they grind Little Greece in 200
years by observing virtue, piety. cour-
age, and proper marriages gave the
world twenty-eight illustrious men
more than all Europe has given the
world in 1000 years. But the best
heredity can be ruiped by bad envi-
rOpment. Environment is stronger
than heredity. 1t can over come a
bad heredity.
We talk Of the mothers influence in
the home, and well we may for she is
the guardian angel of many life. But
each child has two parents--a father
and a mother. What about the faith
er's duty in the home? Does he not
help shape the environment Of his
child? Many child walks in all the
sins of his father when he might walk
in all the virtues of the father if the
father would only live that life. Be
interested enough in your children to
give them part Of your time. Some
fathers only board at home-eat and
sleep there. They never get acquaint-
ed with their children and ha oily with

The State Militia.

A holly waged contest now RACES
within and about the state militia, says
the Express. Words constituts the
ammunition used and the volleys fred
are tremendous. No one is seriously
injured as yet, but there have been
some close shaves, though after all
good may yet come out of the trouble.
In the first place the state should uu-
doubtedly allow the comparatively
small sum Of money necessary for a
state encampment. The members of
the militia perform their service vol
unfairly. 1t is not play by any means,
and if company be kept up to any
kind of standard it means the expen-
dlture OF time, money and hard work
by its members. A well drilled mill
tia organization is . source of credit
campment properly conducted puts all
the companies in touch, gives proper
drilling in the handling Of large bodies
of men and familiarizes the volunteers
more or less with field duty and life in
camp. Ii such an encampment IL not
properly conducted, if there is no dis
cipline and scandal results the fault
must lie with the commanding officers
from the chief down and not with the
rivates, for the law gives ample au-
thority to enforce all orders and pun
ish iusubordipation
If the state refuses TO allow the ex-
peuses Of an encampment the militia
cannot be blamed entirely
for losing interest and fnally disband-
ing. II the militia is to be left I'M
ecoRnized, however, the knife should
go still deeper and cut off the state
officers. An expensive adjutant gen.
erals Office is unnecessary if we have
no troops. If it is decided to cut off
the privates let the officers go with
them, for a general without an army
would be an ornament the taxpayers
would willingly dispense with. In his
defense of the militia Gen. Msbry ex.
aausts the language left over from the
Alamo. In his attack upon the militia
Mr.. Wolters holds all responsible for
The offenses of q few. Both of these |
go to extremes. We might |
thus cruel war by little |
iberality to the soldier boy and an |
agreement on the part of the officers

Nolters His facts are indisputable, |

not beyond correction
