Williamson, w. Va, Aug. 10-Wild

officers who are trying to capture "Cap"
Hatfield, the desperate who escaped last
week from Jail. The Hatfelds are said
to be strongly ensconced in a mountain
pass and to have recently killed deputy
sheriff Johnson and four other deputies.

The officers are in hot pursuit and Judge
Doolittle insists on the sheriff captur-
ing Hatfield at any cost or risk. 1t is
believed there have been encounters, but
nothing definite can be learned.

cannot receive or use the truth
only as l believe the truth. 1t is
in the believing of the truth that we
are made free. Christ was not only
the way and the life, but he was the
truth as we'll. It is the truth that
points out the way and produces the
kind or quality of life we ought to
live. The very life we are living day
by day springs from our convictions
and is but the result of our thoughts.
AS we grow and improve in our be-
liefs so shall we advance along the
lines of the graces and virtues of the
life eternal. We do not and we can
not grow in grace only as we grow
in knowledge of God and his
truth; and with the fact before us
that we cannot possess the truth only
as we develop creed, we find, there
fore, that creed is vital and always
necessary in the formation and
growth of the religious life. Our
ideas, ideal, visions and beliefs find
expression in the creeds we make.
1t is, therefore, very necessary that we
put into shape the very best creed
the united wisdom of our church can
devise and then be governed in our
daily lives accordingly.

EDITORIAL BRIEFS.
BY PRESIDENT I. M. ATWOOD. D. D.


DETROIT is a centrai cfVy bat not 8
denominational center. 1t has no trace
able denominationa circumference.
Draw circle of one hundred miles diam
eter around the city and you include
only few parishes and these not strong.
You must go long distance to find any
Universalist strongholds. The larger
and more efficiently organized three
fourths of the Young Peoples Christian
Unions are east of Buffalo. which is $50
miles from Detroit. With these facts in
mind and the torrid heat in body we
were prepared for comparatively thin
convention at Detroit.
1t was an agreeable surprise to enter
the Church of Our Father, find people
from everywhere in the lobbies and COM
mittee rooms, and the auditorium filed
in every part. So far as numbers are
concerned it was successful convention
obviously. One had only to be in the
church for few moments to learn that
the old Y. P. @. U. enthusiasm was on
tap. 1t was a convention gay with ban
ners and badges and bunting. The
young ladies, with their midsummer
apparel and fast-fying fans and mercur-
ial temperaments and preponderating
numbers, swelled the general impression
of vivacity, color and mobility. 1t was a
warm but never languid assembly.
Hands were much in evidence both to
eye and ear. Some applauded the
speech. some the speaker and some by
mere contagion applauded whatever any
one else applauded. 1t was amusing to
observe the regularity and vehemence
with which some delegates clapped
their hands. That was their part in a
scene of abounding life and action, and
it must not be slighted.
Larger and closer observation re-
vealed the fact that the noise and foam
were the surface Of a strong and full tide
of earnest business. Hundreds of dele
gates were watching closely every move
ment and turn of the proceedings, and
hour after hour they kept their places
and their alert attention. There was
nothing perfunctory; eager interest
quick perception of the drift of discus
sion, prompt response to suggestion or
appeal, were the marked characteristics
of the assembly. There were leaders
but no bosses. Expression was remark
ably free. sometimes bit injudicious or
ill-timed, and occasionally surge of
mere sentiment carried the mercurial
majority quite beyond their reckoning
But lapse was usually followed by recov-
cry. The proposal, once actually voted,
to censure the press and exclude the re.
porters. was the most complete and un.
fortunate loss of balance betrayed by
the convention. That incident should
be warning to all future gatherings of
the Y. P. Gu. To lose the head is to
lose the whole body.
Raising the deficit" has become
regular order-though not advertised
of the Young Peoples National Conven-
tions. This time it was uproariously
good natured, and under DIR. Perin's
skilled manipulation went considerably
beyond the required limit. Eight hun.
dred were called for; over a thousand
pledged, Some Of the delegates think

A SUNSET.
BY REV. o. c. EVANS.

VIEWING sunset short time ago
with friend, in the fullness of his
heart he exclaimed, "What need
have we of a Heaven, having such a
world as this?' My eyes we're
opened and was regenerated. That
evening sitting on the front porch
of house located on the top of a
high hill in the city of GAINESVILLE, I
saw the great picture of life. The
sky was not bright, but all along it
was tinged with saffron. The colors
of the rainbow were so artistically
blended, that no eye could see where
one ended and the other begun.
Artists look upon such a picture
with emotions that an angel might
we'll feel, and are never able to re-
produce it. Viewing such scene,
Emerson once exclaimed that Even
the cattle seem to think great and
tranquil thoughts
The summer foliage clothed in it's
most beautiful color, charmed my
eye and inspired my soul, as it
seemed to battle itself in the flood of
golden light. Looking away in the
distance, the hills stood out in per-
feet distinctness. Over in the west
tern sky, the sun, seemingly, was
saying good night to the day, clothed
in some of the richest colors and
most delicate tints that nature ever
reveals. No wonder the gentleman
felt, "having such a world as this,
we have no need of heaven" The
light coming from that distant fiery
orb, seemed to kiss the foliage with
the tenderness of mother singing
to her babe its lullaby song. A little
brook down in the valley below,
caused by an afternoon shower, was
hurrying on to join its waters to the
great waters of the sea. And l
thought how striking the course of
that little brook to the course of hu-
man life. Out of the great sea of the
past, some mysterious power dropped
us upon this planet, and now we are
hurrying on to join our lives to the
great unknown.
consider that half hour a day of
life. 1t may have been year of
life; it may have been life time. 1t
is not necessary to have been upon
this planet twenty years in order to
have lived twenty years. Some people
have existed for three score years
and ten and have not lived a single
hour during their entire time of space
occupancy. 1t was a half hour of
pure delight, time of rapture for
the human heart; and thought
surely it is not necessary to sail the
seas and scale the Alps in order to
find beauty. Surely God is reveal
ing himself as much in the present
as when he thundered from Mount
Sinai.
Beholding the glories of that half
hour, l thought, need 1 sigh for the
glories of the days that are gone3
Need l, in impatience and discomfort,
dream of the glories of the DAYS that
are to come! Cannot l also find glory
in the day that is2
