sALIsT the following extract from the
telegraphic columns of the New York
Evening Post where it appeared shortly
alter the annual session OF the Indiana
Convention. DR.. Dodge says: 1T may
perhaps interest some of our brethren
who are spending much valuable energy
in attempting the Improbable business
of creed making, while all the time the
urgent work of spreading the gospel of
the universal Saviour, committed to US,
is suffered to languish.

Following is the dispatch referred to
by DR.. Dodge:
Opposition to a Proposed Change.
INDIANAPOLIS, September 3-Delegates
to the state meeting of the Universalist
Church of Indiana yesterday endorsed the
suggestion of their President, the Rev.
Thomas Guthrie, that delegates to the
national convention be instructed against
the proposed changes in the creed of faith
where it says: 'We believe that Holy
Scriptures contain revelation of the char
acter of God and of duty, interest and
final destination of mankind" 1t has
been purposed to drop out this article and
to substitute declaration more Unitarian
in form and faith. Advocates of the
change include few preachers who were
formerly Unitarians. A majority of the
delegates object to the change, saying it
is an effort of Unitarians to swallow the
Universalist Church
1t will be refreshing bit of intelli-
gence for DR.. Sweetser. who is the per
sistent apostle of the change of creed to
learn that he is championing a move
ment in the interest of Unitariane! This
is particularly droll inasmuch as it comes
so quickly after his article "should we
affiliate with the Unitarians?" The
dispatch is another example of the facil-
ity with which the secular press dissent.
mates manufactured news. The Indi-
ana Convention was explicit in its op-
position to the change in the articles Of
faith, but none of the delegates charged
that it was movement of Unitarians to
make away with the Universalist Church.
The responsibility for and paternity of
the proposed change or changes is too
we'll known among US to permit any
such Misrepresentation. But it goes"
nevertheless with the enterprising
press.

About this time one of the most IA
nous Of sea robbers was harassing the
Atlantic coast of North America, and
from New England to the West Indies
he was known as the great pirate
Blackboard" This man, whose real
name was Teach, was terrible fellow
in appearance as well as acts. He wore
a long, heavy black beard, which it was
his fancy to separate into tails, each
one tied with colored ribbon, and
often tucked behind his ears. Some of
the writer's of that day declared that
the sight of this beard would create
more terror in any port of the American
seaboard than would the sudden ap-
pearance of fiery comet. Across his
brawny breast he carried sort of
sling, in which hung not less than three
pairs of pistols in leathern holsters,
and these, in addition to his cutiass and
a knife or two in his belt, made him
! a most formidable-looking fellow. In
/ the early part of the eighteenth century
Blackboard made his headquarters in
one of the inlets on the North Carolina
coast, and there he ruled as absolut:

Two Things That Would Bring About
An Alliance Betwesn the
Nations Instantly.

Two things would bring about an
Anglo-American alliance instantly. If
a combination Of European powers
should be formed to crush the United
States-and after the official utterances
Of the foreign ministers of Germany
and Austria this is not wholly an ex-
travagant supposition - they would
have to crush the British feet as well.
That this is the view Of those at present
responsible for British policy know,
writes Henry Norman in Cosmopolis.
AS l have said elsewhere, we should
never stand by and see hundred mil
lions of people who speak English
trampled on by people who speak Rus
sian or French or German. And we
cherish, not as those who have no hope,
the conviction that if che people who
speak Russian and French and German
laid aside for the moment their deadly
rivalries to join in crushing US, beside

be found on the seas certain flag OF

CHILDHOOD LOVERS UNITED.


An interesting romance, which be-
gan in Muncie, Ind, and ended in Homo
lulu, has just been told to the brides
relatives in the Indiana town. Twenty
years ago Miss Allie Smell, eldest daugh-
ter of DR.. S. Smell, now deceased, and
George w. R. King were schoolmates
and lovers. They agreed to get mar
ried when both reached a certain age,
but the young mans parents moved
from Muncie and finally landed in
Honolulu, where they have since re-
sided. Miss Smell was later married to
Thomas Connor and for many years the
couple have lived happily together.
They moved to San Francisco three
years ago, and year ago were divorced,
after she had learned the place of resi-
dence of her schoolmate lover and the
fact that he was yet unmarried. Soon
after the divorce the lady met her child
hoods lover and wedding was ar
ranged for upon the arrival of Mrs. Con
nor in Honolulu.
The lady is the possessor Of large
properties, mostly located in Muncie
and her new husband is a rich man.

When we talk of the United States
Government in a familiar sort of way
we call it "Uncle SAM" and you have
often seen pictures of Uncle Sam-a
long, lean, old-fashiOned Yankee, with
high hat and with a swallow-tail
coat and breeches marked with the
stars and stripes of the flag. The way
in which the United States came to be
called Uncle Sam is this:
During the war of 1912 the United
States Government entered into a con-
tract with a man by the name of Ell
bert Anderson to furnish supplies to the
army. When the United States buys
anything from a contractor. an inspec-
tor is always appointed to see that the
