Of several officers. the two were marched

DISSERTATION OF THE SABBATH.
Rev. Mr. Beaucbamp Discusses Nio-
Intiops of the sabbath Laws.

Kew. Mr. Uc0Ucbnmp Discusses tfO-
IntioDs of the sabbath Laws.
Sabbath Dissertation" was the theme
Of strong and very plain discourse by
Rev. W. b. Beauchamp at St. James
Methodist church on Sunday last. After
showing that certain acts Of necessity and
mercy on Sunday We're authorized by
Scripture. the preacher said that these
permissible things were serving as eX-
cuses for fragrant violations Of civil and
religious laws and ii was a sad fact tnat
protesting Christian people were either
directly or indirectly responsible for such
violations. Mr. Beauchamp was especial
ly severe on Sunday baseball. and said
it was time for the people of the United
States TO cease criticsing Mexico and
other countries, in which the Sabbath
was given over to bull-fights and other
amusements, so long as thousands OF
citizens of some of our principal cities
lOcked TO baseball parks on the Lords
day. Sunday ball could be. and should
be, stopped, he said, If church people
would refuse TO patroniZe the game on
any and every day until the Sabbath is
rightly observed. The speaker also re-
ferred to the running of street-cars on
Sunday, the selling of liquor, and other
dissertations of the day. all of which
evils would cease TO exist were church
people 70 demand. by word and action,
their cessation. Toronto Canada. was
referred to as truly a Christian city-a
place in which the Sabbath was indeed
holy day. disturbed neither by the run
ming of street-cars, the opening of sa-
looms. nor the noise of the baseball mob.
Much is said about the Church meddling
with notifies or seeking to control legis-
lation i'm the enactment of certain laws"
continued Mr.. Beauchamp, but / con-
tend ii is the duty of Christian people,
not TO bring politics into the Church, but
carry the Church into politics, until our
national. State, and municipal life is
purged of rottenness and laws of mo-
rali;y. honesty and purity are respected
and obeyed. The great need of this city.
this State, this country. is men and
women who are willing TO stand for God
and right under all circumstances"

from our midst and take to her Heavenly
Home, our beloved sister and co-worke r

WHEREAS; Onr Foreign Missionary,
Ladies Aid Society and Woman's Chris

by the memory of the exalted character
and unalloyed affection of the one who
has gone, but by the power of the in

called her unto the life beyond.

The following little story related
by the news papers of Elkton, illus
trates the condition of the colored
slum element of that town which is
improved in the wrong direction by
the race course element.
Bailiff Biddle was called upon to
go up to the colored church to arrest
q negro named Davy Harris.
Harris was ugly and inclined to
resist so the bailiff put the nippers
on him. A gang of negroes then
attacked the officer and attempted
to take Harris from him. Mr..
Biddle is powerful man but it
took all his muscle to retain his
hold on his prisoner and at the
same time beat off his assailants.
In the scHffle he lost his official
badge, several buttons on his coat,
had his face scratched and knocked
the skin off his knuckles, but he
landed his man safe in Jail. Harris
is an old offender. Other arrests
will follow.

Congress Meets.

Congress assembled in extra
session on Monday, and Thomas B.
Reed was elected chairman or
speaker of the House. The Presi-
dent sent in his message which was
avery short document. After recit
ing some of Cleveland's laundering
and short comings and the deficiency
which has occurred in the last three
years and eight months, less than
the appropriations and expenses,
President Mckinley advises Con
gress to pass tariff that will pro
vide sufficient revenue to defray
the expenses of the government,
and stops right there. Nothing
else is mentioned.
The Dingley committee that has
been at work on the new bill since
last December had it ready and
laid it before the House. This is
the last hope of the good time pro-
phets and it should be passed
without delay. OF course "good
times" cannot be evolved from a
tariff under present conditions, but
no ground should be left on which
the party and the President will be
able to rest single excuse.
The President did not advise
"retrenchment and REFORM" only
to lay on more taxes to make the
revenues equal the expenses. Not
a word was said in the message on
the financial question, not word
on Cuba or foreign policy. Only
his pet hobby the tariff was men
toned. He said, however, that
Cleveland and Carlisle's outrageous
bond swindle was made necessary
because of a shortage in revenue,
as though a deficiency of revenue
or surplus of revenue could have
any influence on lowering the gold
in the treasury if the Eckehimers
and the President agreed to start
the "endless chain"
