mon was in reply to the Methodist pas.
tors views on "The Devil in Society" In
the closing words of the discourse Mr..
Legal commended the actresses and
actors who. during the winter, have given
performances and sung in the streets for
the benefit of the poor in the large cities
and spoke of them as angels of mercy in
the guise of human beings, rather than
Satan in the guise of an actress. He
asked Gods forgiveness upon those per-
sons who could not see good and call it
good, wherever it was found. Although
he allowed that this world is not the
best possible world. he upheld it as the
best we have and encouraged his hear
ers to not condemn it. but go to work
cheerfully, hopefully. and make it better.
He considered Christian character the
chief and ultimate aim in life and urged
all to seek for the good, beautiful and
true life, not as our end and aim, but
that these things ought to make all
better Christians. more useful and help
full men and women.

MUNCIE CALLS A PASTOR.
The Muncie church. whose pastorate
has been vacant for some months, since
the resignation of Rev. j. f. Carney.
has called pastor in the person of Rev.
Margaret A. Bremen, of Webster, N. Y,
who will enter on her new charge
April l.
The call to Miss Bremen was made by
the trustees of the church on the recon-
mendation of friends in Muncie, who
were acquainted with her work. The
Muncie paper says: miss Bremen is
an elderly woman of wide experience in
her profession, having been in the pulpit
for twenty years. She possesses broad
education and is equally as we'll known
in other denominations as in her own.
As lecturer she is reported as being
very successful. She has been at Web

Avenue Church, Cambridge. Mass, will
be here for weeks meetings in April.
Our hopes increase. our faith deepens,
we are determined to win. the subject
of lot for church is now being agi-
tated. We hope to secure one and begin
to build during 1897.
But few realize the spiritual meaning
lying beneath the word "Universalism."
Beneath these dozen letters lies a wealth
untold of spiritual activity and growth,
emulation of Christ's life. and deter
inmate purpose to stand in the front
ranks of his church; everything that is
good, victorious and triumphant. These
truths lie like golden nuggets. glistening
temptingly in the rich beds of precious
religious ores; ours to grasp. possess and
use. Until we find them, the Masters
kingdom will remain our antipode and
we exist, as a church, in name only. To
reach this possible condition our church
is striving here in Knoxville.

Sued Under Provisions Of the Anti

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4.-(By Asso-
ciated Press Leased Wire to Herald.)
The preliminary move has been made
toward the prosecution Of the Retail
Coal Dealers association under the pro-
visions of the antitrust law OF 1890. At
torney A. L. Black has drawn bill in
equity asking for an injunction to re-
strain the operations of the alleged trust,
and has sent the papers to Attorney
General McKenna, asking his consent
that suit be instituted III the name of the
the United States. United States Attor-
ney Foote of this district has approved
and indorsed the request
The papers are drawn in the name Of
the United States as plaintiff, and the
defendants include all the members of
the association, its officers and the
wholesale coal dealers of this city are
made codefendants. The evidence that
the association is a combination in re-
straint Of trade, or a trust, is said to
be contained in a book Of rules for re-
tail dealers issued by the association,
which gives the terms of a contract
which the association has with the
wholesale dealers. From this it appears
that the wholesale dealers charge a
higher rate for coal to dealers who do
not belong to the association than to
it's members. Nearly all the ocal con-
sumed here comes from British Co.

An IRRIGATION Suit

MARYSVILLE, CAL, Nov. "A COM
plant in equity has been filed in the
superior court of this county by Edward
Lynch against the directors of the
Browns Valley irrigation district. Tha
plaintiff attacks the validity of the cre-
alton of the irrigation district, which.
by virtue of the Wright act, claims to
be acting as a quasi public corporation.
The complaint questions the right Of
the directors to perform certain acts.
discredits the legality Of elections on
various occasions when the issuance Of
bonds was approved, and disputes the
right of the assessor of the district to
make levies. The plaintiff asks that tha
bonds of the district and the organiza-
tion of the district be declared null and
void and prays that similar decree OPP
crate against the assessment levied
this year by the directors Of the district.
