ife and DESTROYING his home life.

life and destroying his home lie.
Miss Young said that the trend
during the last thirty-fve years in
the United States was toward secular
education. Some Of the Presbyter-
ians think that it is better for the
state to do all of the educating. There
are two remedies, either TO try to
ChristianiZ1 our secular schools 'Or
build up our own schools. The latter
is the only practical plan. The church
had failed because it had tried TO es-
tablish its schools to meet conditions
long gone by. 1t takes money and
god sense to make them success
full. 1t is like running a grocery
store-you must have the very best
goods and impress this fact upon the
people. We are today behind every
other denomination in educational
work. Presbyterianism with Presby-
terian education behind it would be a
different thing from Presbyterianism
with everybody educating himself as
he can.
The church was well filled last eve.
ming to hear the addresses by Lewis
Johnson on "Freedman." and Rev. S.
j. Nichols, D. D., of St. Louis, on
"Home Missions" Both were very
interesting. Mr.. Johnson's address
was in the nature of an appeal along
an educational line.

DIRECTORS ARE INDICTED.
A Rumor AfIoat Regarding the Ma
della Warehouse Case.

There is a rumor afloat that the
grand jury at st. James has found In
dictments against the last board of
seven directors of the defunct Ma
della Warehouse Co., and also against
several of the ex-directors. 1t is
rumored that the charges will be
found to be grand larceny in the first
or second degree, in Illegally dispos-
ing of grain stored at the warehouse
by farmers. Two of the directors,
John Mccarthy and T. j. Mitchell,
live in this county, and the most of
them are farmers. The company
went into the hands of Attorney B C.
Taylor, of this city, as receiver, July
10th last. The grain had all been
sold, and the building mortgaged to
the directors, so it is said, and fore
closed upon.

faithful attendance at prayer meet
ing, because they are elderly men or
because they are young men, because
they are always at church service, or
because they are scarcely ever there,
and we want to put them In a re-
sponsible position so they will have
more interest. In the business world
men are given responsible positions
with special view TO fitness, and IL
they fail to fill the bill acceptaOly
they are set aside. a man placed at
the head of the business at airs or toe
church who fails is kept there until he
resigns or dies, for fear of hurting his
feelings. Poor men will not resign
and good men do not cldmor for The
positions. The members or a church
should feel free to ask the poor ones
to stand aside, the same as stock
holders in corporation. 1t does no
good to elect good fnancier 10 an
office in the church unless he will
work.
1t is lamentable fact that in some
churches the minister is forced,
through the apathy, indifference and
| inetficiency of the officers, to take a
hand in the temporal and financial af-
fairs of the church. Some Of the best
preachers are the poorest kind of IL
nanciers. Nothing can SO detract
| from the usefulness of the minister as
to have to bear, in addition to his
legitimate burdens, the vexations, an
noyances and labors that should be
borne by the trustees and session.
A church can never thrive with a
lukewarm and Indifferent member
ship. The members must feel an in
dividual responsibility. Too many
will not do their part of the financial
burden bearing, and the burdens OF
the willing ones are consequently
made disproportionately heavy. There
are too many people who begin the
practice of economy at the door OF

conclusion, fault finding, jealousy
and unjust criticism, and each carry

his own appropriate sacrifice, we can

successful, flourishing church,
Gen. Mason's remarks were eXcell'
emit. Among other things, he urged
ministers not to 60 to the extreme OF
taking too active an interest in poll
tics, or the extreme of doing nothing.
They should take an active interest
in all questions that lead to moral adj
vancement.
Mr.. Suffers report showed gain in

Educational Work.

Rev. A. H. Carver presented re-
port of the committee on education.
He said that thirty-eight men are I'M
der the care of the Presbyteries.
Rev. J. L. Danner gave an address
on "Christian Education" He said
that those who founded our school
system did not intend to completely
divorce religion from education, for
they had reading of Scriptures in the
schools. 1t is absurd to say that the
reading of the Bible in the public
schools will tend to establish a state
church. Any system Of education ex-
Guiding Bible reading is fatally de-
fectiye, for Bible reading furnishes
important instruction. The blacklist
cloud on our horizon is the complete
secularization of our education. The
exclusive devotion of the children to
secular instruction during the first
fifteen years of their lives in school
tends to make them secular if not in
tidels. Those who do not obey Gods
laws will not long obey mans laws.
So purely secular education tends to
produce decentralization of the citizen.
Christian colleges are needed to give
us Christian men as lawyers and mer-
chants and in the pews. The large
number of public school teachers
turned out of the colleges and Normal
schools must be secular teachers
UNCONVENTIONAL colleges must be had
in order to carry on denomina tional
work, else there will be decay in the
denomination.
"Christian Education Practically
Applied" was the subject of addresses
by Rev. Geo. W. Davis, Phi. D., and
Miss Ella Young. Mr.. Davis said that
among the $500 students in the state
university only six are in the mission
band. There are three times as many
students in the university as in all o.
the UNCONVENTIONAL schools of the
state put together. 1t is burning
shame that Presbyterian church Lett
educational work languish and die
1t is not taking hold of this funda
mental work of Christian education

UNION MEETINGS.
The Presbyterian Church Full to Over
flowing Sunday Night.

The initial gathering of the various
churches that have united for series
of afternoon and evening religious
meetings was held at the Presbyterian
church last night, and the edifice was
filled to it's capacity. Evangelists
Munhall and Burch had charge of the
services, and their stay in our city
promises to create much interest and
enthusiasm in christian work.
Mr.. Munhall is a gentleman of large
physique, with a strong, pleasant
voice and an earnestness of manner
and sincerity of thought and express
sion which cannot fail to impress his
auditors. His address last night was
in defense Of the bible and it's teach
ings. He showed in a forcible and
conclusive way that the skeptics, who
are prone to take issue with many of
the biblical passages are on the wrong
track and that their position is unten-
able and their criticism unjust and
groundless At times the speaker
rose to point of eloquence and fervor
rarely found in the pulpit, and if his
first address is to be accepted as an
augury of what is to follow, rich
treat indeed is in waiting for all our
people who take advantage of the op
portunities afforded to hear him dur
ing his stay in the city. His CO.
laborer, Mr.. Burch, has charge of the
singing, and is himself fine vocalist
as we'll as a charming cornet1st.
Day services will be held Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
afternoons at four o'clock, and eve
ming services all the week except
Saturday night, at 1880.
The members of the various COM
mittees and pastors will meet the
evangelists promptly at o'clock TO-
night in the church parlors.

Evening Session.

The closing session was held Satur-
day evening, and the church was
filled. DR.. Pleasant Hunter, of Min
neapolis, preached an able sermon on
Duty"
After the sermon, the final business
was transacted.
Duluth was unanimously chosen as
the place for holding the next annual
meeting. There had been some talk
of holding it in the new Westminster
church at Minneapolis, as it will be
the 25Oth Westminster anniversary.
The following resolution was ad.
opted:
Resolved, That we tender our
heartfelt thanks to the pastor and
officers of this church for the
thorough appointments for the work
and comfort of the synod; to the

PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD
Continued from First Page.)

This is the third and last day of the
Presbyterian synod, and the interest
has been undated throughout. A
few belated delegates arrived yester-
day afternoon, and large number
took this afternoons trains for home.
The Minneapolis s. st. Louis ran a
special to Waterville at $3.50 p. NJ, to
connect with the train going to the
twin cities, and carried away a large
number of delegates. Nearly all will

The delegates express themselves as
we'll pleased with the work of the
convenJio and the treatment accord

local church.

A SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT.
Miss Williams Gladdens the Hearts of
All Who Hear Her.

The musicale at the Welsh 9. M.
church Fridaysdrew good audi
ence, despite the rain. Those who
attended were more than pleased with
the program and all felt that if Miss
Williams ever returns to the city
she will be accorded full house. The
lady captivated her audience, and her
obliging, pleasant..ways won her host
of friends.
The ladies Of the church, under
whose auspices Miss Williams came
can well feel flattered at the good at
tendance accorded on such a rainy

The "Blue Hole" of Ohio.

Editor Richards of the Bloomdale
Derrick publishes the following inter-
esting item which he obtains by per-
sonal observation, the scissors, or
otherwise:
There exists in Erie county, near
the village OF Castalia, one of the won
ders of natures formation that it will
repay we'll for any person inclined to
examine the wonders OF nature TO visit.
The wonder, for such it is, is known as
the blue Hole 1t gets this name
from the blush color OF the water that
continually issues forth in large guam
titles. The diameter of the hole is
perhaps 80 feet. In the center the
water gushes up from some internal
fountain with uniform force and in
creaslug beauty. With the naked eye
distance of so or 100 feet can be seen
in the center of the conical shaped
fountain, being the largest at the top,
the cavity around which gushes up the
pure cold water. The water is so clear
that dime thrown into the vortex
can be seen to descend for many feet,
in fact until it disappeared in the dis.
tance. 1t is generally supposed that
the water comes from lake Michigan
but of this no certainty can be affirmed
The water passes out OF the circular
basin forming good sized stream. in
which q large number of fish have
been placed by sportsmen who have
taken the pains to erect buildings neal
by for sporting purposes. We would
advise our readers to visit this wonder
known as the "blue hole" OF Ohio.

MATRIMONIAL SURPRISE.
A Popular Wood County Lady
Marries a Well Known
Historian.

The many citizens OF Wood county
who remember fayorably f. G. Gibbons,
the genial gentleman who had charge
OF compiling the county history pub
lished by ], II. Beers, of Chicago, will
be surprised to hear that he was united
in marriage to Miss Louise Sangller. OF
Liberty township, at Ashville, N. c.,
Sept 26.
The ceremony was performed at nup-
tial high mass. by Rev. FIR. Marion,
with Mr.. Burns, OF Kentucky, as best
man, and Miss Alice Sanglier, a sister
OF the bride, as bridesmaid.
The happy couple having been made
as ore, they retired with their friends
TO a sumptuous banquet that awaited
them at the temporary home OF the
Sanglier's, who have been in the south
for some time. The same day Mr.. and
Mrs. Gibbons departed on an extended
wedding tour. After enjoying the
sights of Gotham, they will proceed up
the Hudson river and take in the most
beautiful scenery in the east and from
there will go to Bangor, Maine. Having
finished their trip, they will return to
Stroudsburg, Pa, and will remain some
time. 1t is to be hoped ultimately that
Mr.. and Mrs. Gibboas will decide to
take up their permanent residence in
Wood county, and they certainly will
be welcomed by host of friends, as
both are we'll and fayorably known.
The bride, Miss Sanglier, is one OF
