EARLY RECOLLECTIONS
THRILLING EXPERIENCE in FORDING A SWOLLEN
STREAM.
BY j. Polk Racine.
PAPER NO. 2.

names we do hope grace the beautiful
columns of the everlasting Lambs Book of
Life:
Those that we remember were Reuben
d. lamar, James II. lamar, Joseph Wells,
John Rossell, Walter Pugh and Arthur
Mitchell. l know that those gentlemen
were there because they tried to per-
suade my father not to enter the swollen
stream. o, what body of water was
roaring down the romantic course of the
Big Elk on that evening over forty years
ago. My father was powerful man, and
those who knew him also knew that there
was lion which slumbered in his bosom,
generally peaceful, but when aroused there
was danger ahead for the one who had
broken its peaceful sleep.
Don't go across, Racine, you will be
swept into the bay. Mr.. Rossell ran and
caught old Fan by the head, but Racine
looked daggers at Mr.. Rossell and started
to get out when Mr.. Rossell let go and said
go, but you shan't murder that boy"
and catching at the boy at the same time.
But the little william, not knowing the
danger, had nestled close up to his old dady
and we entered the troubled waters, and
soon old Fan lost her footing and was paw
ing the water. A yell went up from the
kindhearted men who had tried so save our
lives. My God, they are gone! See, they
are dancing on the terrible torrent down,
down, through Tommy Howard S meadow,
under the branches of spreading old birches
and beeches, the limbs of which soon swept
the little bunch of straw from the young
ster's head and it, too, went dancing down
the watery ways of the Big Elk.
To be continued.

A CLEnGYMAN,s CONFESSION.

Among those engaged In the so.
called Christian ministry great
many at times feel the unsr eakable
Inconsistency OF their position. They
cannot reconcile the entire absences OF
authority from heaven with their
claims OF being "ambnesadors Of
Christ" they know that the power
over disease Is the seal on the COM
mission to forgive sins, aud that tbs
absence OF the divine seal 10
II proof OF the forgery Of the
commission. Yet only few, com.
patstively, have the moral coursee
necessary to openly acknowledge
their mistake. Considerations for
their ia miles and other circumstances
keep them where they are. The
voice OF conscience is silenced with
saphistry.
S9metimes, however, clergyman
comes out frc m the ranks with strong
and pointed &c claratioue. Recently
Rev. Franz SwarthwOut, pastor VI a
BAPTIST church al Superior, Wis, rt-
signed his position AID gsve,sccordiDg
asIeclai 10 the Chicago Record Of
April &c. the subjoinei statement IN
explanation OF his change OF Views.
At the end OF lhe services he told The
congregations:
God has taken from me all nope in the
present system oil churches, anu He has
shown me the apostasy among the peo 10
who are protesting false doc Iiue and
making tho church nn amusement
bureau. 1 have also learned thai the
clergymen Of today have no sanction Of
the word Of God and thai they ttoop 10
please an unregenerated people. They
discuss secular, ethical aud popular
themes, and hardly ever a Gospel note Is
sounded by them from God TO the lost
Therefore, as protest, God leads me to
