BE PLAYED what BE Saw.

An itinerant musician who played
the trombone in a little German band
hailed the leader of that organization to
a London court and demanded that
weeks wages which he claimed were
due him should be paid. The leader de-
clared that he had discharged the man
for incompetency and that he had been
paid in full. The plaintiff insisted that
he was a skilled performer, and in ex-
planning the incident that had resulted
in his election from the band charged
that the discOrdant noises which he ad
mitted he was guilty of making on one
occasion were the fault not of himself,
but of his employer. In calculation of
this mystery the aggrieved musician
said that the leader, as usual, had dis
tributed the different parts to the play
ers and had been careless enough to pass
over the trombone part upside down.
Being nearsighted, the player did not
notice the mistake, but proceeded to
sound the notes as he read them from
the reversed score. Il blay vot l see, -
noise. - The leader said the noise
was dreadful, as may we'll have been
the case, and that the plaintiff had re-
fused to stop playing when ordered to
do SO. Ingenious as was the attempted
explanation, it did not convince the
judge, and a verdict for the defendant
was giyen.-Berlin Correspondence.

No One Agreed UnOn.

The conference between Chester l

day did not result in any agreement
being reached in the matter of a post
master for Wellington. Two confer

and another conference was to be held
yesterday. Long had a long list OF
recommendations to make TO Baker
and he succeeded in getting most OF
them accepted, but the Wellington
office was not included in the list that
met with favor at the hands of Mr.
Baker. As result it was practically

days for the new postmaster to quail

A Disastrous Runaway.

As Webb Davis, Bill Kinsey and
Charles Walters were driving toward
the city from the home Of tue latter,
southwest Of the city, yesterday after.
noon, their team became frightened
and ran away. The runaway occur
red coming down the Ruggles hill.
Davis and Kinsey were painfully
hurt, the former sustaining injuries
which will lay him up fol- several days.
Walters was uniDjured.
Davis and Kinsey had been putting
up Windmill for Mr.. Walters on his
farm four miles southwest OF town.
They completed their work yesterday
at noon and Mr.. Walters started 10
bring them home. The team he
was driving was very high spirited.
They had ran away with Mr.. Walters
several times before. When they
started down the Ruggles hill yester-
day the team began to run. The
three occupants Of the wagon were
unable 10 stop the horses, and in the
wild flight down the hill the wagon
iwayed and upset. Davis was throw o
out upon his head and by the man
ner in which he lit seriously strained
himself internally. Kinsey was
bruised considerably also. The nail
Of his right third finger was torn out
by the roots and left hanging by a
thread. The wagon wheels passed
over his body, hruising his legs and
arms quite painfully. The wagon
box was turned over and thrown upon
Walters, but did not injure him.
Some apprehension is felt for Davis.
He may have sustained internal in
juries which may prove serious. He
was unable to lie down last night.
This afternoon he slept awhile in a
chair. His injuries are very painful,
but may be nothing more serious
than strain.
The three men were brought to the
city last evening by farmer who
came along soon after the accident
occurred. Nothing has been heard
from the runaway team.-JOurnal, Sd.

NOT AN ARGUMENT.

UNIvERsALIsM has been preached in
this country for about the same time
that Professionals have been engaged
in foreign missionary enterprise. Let
me remind the reader of the fact that
Protestant missions have not been
fattering in their success. Thou
sands have gone to various quarters
of the globe to teach the Gospel, and
millions OF money have been expended
to further the work, and the success is
small. The result has not changed
the religious aspect of those countries
where the missionary has worked in
the least. Moslems, Buddhists and
Brahmans are not focking to the
standard of Christ. Will we accept
this as an argument against the Cos
pei? Not in the least. There are
reasons why all this effort has been
so fruitless. So are there multitude
of reasons for the slow progress
among Universalists in PROSECUTING
and building churches.
When modern Universalism made
its advent, never was sect SO as
sailed; an apostolic Christianity never
incurred more bitter hatred and op-
position. The prejudice of today is
nothing when compared to that of
Yesterday. "Upiversalism," said one
editor, sis armed rebellion against
the Lord Jesus Christ" a statement
which reflects the state of the relig-
ious mind fifty years ago. Our mis-
sionaries we're sheep in the midst of
wolves; they were avoided, ostracized
sometimes attacked, barred out of
meeting houses, and willfully SIAN
dered. Never did men meet theol-
ogy so thoroughly entrenched behind
popular prejudice and prevailing ig-
norance. and never did soldiers of the
cross battle more courageously to de-
fend the love of God. Under such
circumstances is it wonder progress
was so slowi 1t is no wonder that it
was then, and it is no wonder that it
is so now, under existing circum-
stances.-ReU. r. f. Buckner.

THE PERSISTENCE OF MORAL
IDEAS.
BY REV. r. A. WHITE.

SCIENCE has demonstrated the per-
sistence of natural forces. Force
changes form, but never perishes.
Mind is force. 1t may be trans
formed, but never lost. Mental ac-
tivity ends in mental exhaustion, but,
properly directed, results in book, a
building ship, city. Every book,
painting or bit of architecture, every
ship that plows the sea, all that hui
man hands have wrought or human
minds dreamed into external realities
are SO many manifestations of the in
destructibility or the persistence of
moral forces.
A new thought comes into the world
and tradition seeks to kill it. Jesus
came with new Interpretation of life.
Conservatism crucified and buried
him and rolled stone to the door of
the tomb and sealed it. But from
that entombment Jesus, the spirit
ualized and idealized truth, sprang
forth to seize the moral scepter of a
third of the world. Religiouslib
was crucified in Jesus, burned in
Bruno, nartyred in Jerome and Huss,
prosecuted in every age and every
cline. Yet persecution could not
destroy the indestructibIe. Individu-
al liberty rose in obscurity, faced
kings and councils, was assassinated
in William of Orange, shot in historic
Lexington and by Concord's classic
stream, yet it persists and is on it's
march to the throne of the world.
The persistence of moral force gives
solemn meaning to the present. God
speaks to many modern Moses on
many Sinai in this year of grace
1897. Every social force being now
set free will linger to bless or curse
the future. Every evil man or in
fuence is making moral or immoral
forces for the future. Evil is bad,
not only in its present results but
terrible because it's influences will
linger forever. Good is not only good
for the present, but good for all time.
Wherever you put a moral man moth
ing can aunihilate his influence.
Orthodoxy must stop putting so many
good men in hell, or it will cease to
be hell. Plato, Socrates, Emerson
and Thoreau will start improvement
societies and make hell more habita-
BILE than the traditional heaven.
