We are living at the close of a re- markable century, one of the two or three most memorable in all human history. Consider where the world was hundred years ago; then look abroad to-day and note the marvellous progress made
 One great question of our time is, What kind of a Christianity does the world need to-day? To answer this question we must understand the traits of the age, wherein this epoch differs from all the past For every great work of genius, whether wrought by pen or by chisel, by tongue or by sword, has it's inspiration in it's own age. The pyramids, the epic of Dante, the Madonna San Sista, the life of Bismarck, each was the creation of it's own age.
 The first trait of today is democracy. This Is the age of the people, and there never was an age of the people until the opening of this century. The peo- pie are the makers of our rulers, our buyers of books, the customers at the great shops. The church for this time must be a peoples church, planning not for the select few on one hand, nor for the flower classes" on the other, but reaching out it's hand to all men of every social grade. We must reach the people if we are to win this age. The tract is one means of coming in con- tact with the world. It can go every where, up into the attic. into the par Tor, to the street corner. Hence the tract Is adapted, to the Christian meth ods of to-day.
 Another characteristic of our age is practicality. There have been ages when the world was stirred by dreams like the crusades, but could a crusade be gotten up to-day as in the middle ages? Would America spend its ener- gies in the building of a useless pyra- mid like old Cheops? All our work. all our study, all our science, must have a practical aim. This age has no patience with distractions even in the ology. Questions of the Trinity, of the freedom of the will, of ''the procession of the Holy Ghost" have no interest in cur time But we do have living in- terest in questions of personal charac- ter. The application of this to the tract course is manifest. The age wants short crisp. clear, direct utter ance on practical subjects, and these are the aims of the net.
 Another trait of to-day is intelli- gence. The past ages were ignorant. None of the barons who signed Magma Charta could write their own names. A king even who could read and write was almost a wonder eight hundred years ago. But this is the age of the schoolmaster, of the college, of the daily newspaper. We reach the world through it's brain to-day. For such q time as this the tract therefore is es- pecially adapted.
 Another characteristic in the church of our time is that of lay activity. Once priests did all the church work. Now it is done by the membership. This is the age of the Sundayschool, of the '. M. c. A, of the Christian Endeavor and the Epworth League. We must set our members at work, and those who can do nothing else can hand tract to somebody.
 Thus the work of the Tract society is shown to be in direct accord with the spirit of the age.

 The Tract society of the Methodist Episcopal church held it's anniversary in this city yesterday. Dr. Jesse l.. Hurlbut, of New York, the editor and secretary of the department, was to have preached yesterday morning in Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, but because of the few persons in at tendance on account of the storm it was not delivered at that time. His text was: I. Chronicles, 12;32: Men that had an understanding of the time" and the aim of the sermon was to show the work of the Tract society as an out-working of the spirit of the age. The general line of the discourse he had prepared was as follows:

johns thirst for knowledge grew with
his years, and he rounded out his edu-
cational career with a college course in
the University of Michigan at Ann
Arbor. Like many another young col
legian, he turned to teaching as the
readiest means of employing his tai
ents, and he returned to his native town
to become the principal of its high
school. He taught for time also at
Liscomb, la. He had determined to
study law, and returning to his alma
mater he was able to graduate from its
law school at the age of 23. He went at
once to Nebraska, settling in 1880 at
Fullerton, Nance county. From that
time on his services were in almost con-
stant demand for political positions,
and he has won many honors since.
Shortly after his arrival in Nebraska he
was elected county attorney and held
the Office for three years. He was
elected to the state senate in 1884 and
was reelected in 1856, and was chosen
president of the senate during his sec
ond term. In 1887 he presided over the
republican state convention. and after
ward made a successful chairman Of
the state committee. He was elected
lieutenant-governor in 1883, and was
sent to the Fifty-third congress from
the Third district by plurality of 3,OO5
over his next highest competitor. Mr..
Mieklejohn was appointed assistant
secretary of war few weeks after the
expiration of his term in congress.

prosecutor, Il charge of eNtOrtion

threats and injury to property.

on all the counts when the case was
