MANY very handsome black gowns and
costumes are worn this season, partly
as an effective contrast to the exceed
ingly rich colors that prevail, and part
ly to the beauty and novelty of the new
black materials and the greatly I'M

lar weaves of English woolens Whlcn

been. those from the Priestly mills be-

Black satin blouses are very fashio :

IN RELIGIONS REALM.
EXPRESSIONS FROM VARIOUS
RELIGIOUS NEWSPAPERS.
The Religious Thought Of the Day
AZ Expressed in the Sec
tartan Press.

Speaking of the nomination of Bishop
dudley to a secretarialN position, the
New York "Chruchman" (P. E.) says:
The American church stands distinc-
lively for the integrity of a diocesan
episcopate. 1t believes that the work
and functions of Bishop can be best
carried on if the Bishop is assigned to
a specific territorial division, for which
he is alone responsible. If ii is pro-
posed as part of the Bishops func-
tions under our system that he shall
act as the administrative officer of a
general board composed of clergy and
laity, to carry out orders that have no
possible connection with the diocese
over which he has been called to pre-
side. let a constitutional provision be
made for novelty which has no prece-
dent in the history of the American
church. We ourselves believe that in
no particular were the founders of our
ecclesiastical system wiser than in their
care for protecting the episcpoate from
attacks on it's spiritual character and
prerogative. however innocent and re-
mote they might appear. We cannot
for a moment imagine that any one
would propose as a permanent arrange
ment that a diocesan Bishop should
hold on to his diocese and attempt to all
the office of Secretary at the same time.
This would be to neglect both. So that
if we are to have an episcopal Secre>
tary, there are two alternatives"
THE fatal error of many" says the
New York Christian Advocate" (Meth.),
is that they begin to investigate relig-
ion without conforming their spirit and
life to truth as it dawns upon their
minds The truth-seeking spirit will
not enlighten the understanding II, as
one finds truth, he ignores its claim upon
his conscience and life. Whoever pur-
sues this course will be entangled in the
letter and remain stranger to the
spirit. Few who have sat down to in
yestigate the Bible with the determina
tion to accept and obey at once all truth
that commends itself to their con-
sciences have been long left in doubt as
to it's divine origin. An impulse has been
developed within which has enabled
them to comprehend the gospel as a
whole. and apply to the seeming con-
tradictions in the realm of moral and
| spiritual thought the complete demon
stration of the divine origin of the es-
Sence of the system, furnished by their
inward experience, for the support OF
faith in the absence of a full intellec-
tual comprehension. We by no means
admit that fair defense in the plane
of mere syllogistic argument cannot be
| made to every charge brought against
the Bible as containing the only revela-
| tion that God has made to man. but
were the defense far greater than any
| human being can make. it would avail
nothing if the inquirer be not disposed.

pursuing the discussion, to conform TO

PROBABLE FATAL ACCIDENT
Former Wichita Boy Lying Critically
MOndded al City HnsnitrI

Gloom and dire sorrow and distress are
the shocking portion Of Mr. and Mrs. Jo-
sepd P. SceJIer. for many years residents
Of this city, and for rhe past year living
at Peabody. Tuesday afternoon their TWO
boys, well known in this city and passing

outside OF a lot fenced by a tall hedge

rise soon, and with that 1e attempted
20 crawl through the hedge. Considerably
nervous. evidently. the younger boy, see
ing the rustling Of the hedge. at once fired
his gun. His older brother with a groau
sank down and Raymond realized he had.
Fl the excitement shot his brother. The
latter was at once removed TO his home
and the best surgical skill summoned L
was seen that the best treatment could
only be given at a hospital. and he was
according Ugly brought to this city yesterday
morning and taken at once % the City

bullet had punctured the bowels in three
places. causing a very critical wound. At

that he vas no better and that no rea-
s7rab.e hope could be given out for MS
recovery. He was al that hour very low
but stiu living. with the chances greatly
against him. Basil was a bright. active
