The Taxpayers of Hennessey have
voted to issue bonds to the amount Of
s., 600, to be used in erecting a monu-
meut over the grave OF the valiant
Tom Hennessey, the government
freighter, who was killed by Indians
twenty-five years ago, aud whose re-
mains were buried on the spot where
he fell. He was the first man killed
Ia the Indian outbreak OF 1874, being
ia command Of wagon train en- route
from Wichita TO Fort Reno with gov
ernment supplies, and refused to leave
his post when II became known that
the Indians were swooping down upon
the train fully 900 strong. lie made
one OF the bravest fights on record,
with the odds all against him, and the
old Indians who were present say that
seventeen Of their number fell before
his prowess before he was overpow-
cred, tied TO wogon-wheel and
burned alive. Troops from the fort
burled the chArred body close beside
the next day, and the grave was kept
in order and planted with flowers reg
ulafly by the freighters along the
trail until the Rock Island was bull
through the territory. The grave II
on the right-of-way, and the sectior
hands have since given it the best o
care. II is marked by heap OF NATIVE
stone and slab bearing the inscrip
tloE; This grave is conseerated Il

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRODUCTION We have a special-pass-
age of the first extant Epistle of Paul, and
the earliest writing of the New Testa-
ment. Annals of the Life of
Jesus were previously in existence; but
the Gospels, as we know them, had not
yet been written-Paul's intense love
for his converts in Thessalonica, and his
clear understanding by personal expert
ence of their peculiar besetments, caused
him to write this friendly letter.
a. v. 9-12 EXPORTED TO LIVE IN THE
SPIRIT. Be fraternal; even more than you
now are. Be quiet; be ambitious to be
unambitious. Work with your own hands
if need be, as /, Paul, have giveu you an
example. Be honest Be not dependent
on those outside the church
(2.) " 10, IA. HOPE FOR ALL THE DEAD
DO not be ignorant of the fundamental
principles Of the Gospel. Do not sorrow
for the dead with hopeless sorrow; be not
liket he rest of the pagans. AS surely as
you believe that Christ died and rose again,
believe that the Divine Power will, after
his likeness, cause all the dead to live
again.
81 V. 1876: g. CHRIST IS TO BE VICTOR
We who live are in no respect more for
tunate than those who have died. Christ
is to triumph in the invisible world. He
is also to wondrously manifest his power
in this world He, the lamb-like, the
loving, the man of the cross, is to be in
the moral warfare like one coming to the
fray with shout. His voice, the Inner
Voice, is to be like the voice of the arch
