A Criticism.

10 the Editor oil the NEW DOMINION:
In late issue of the Athenaeum,
a paper purporting to be authorized
by our university management,
student writer, seemingly ambitious
that the mantle of Pagan Bob or
of martyr Brann" fall upon him,
pricks one little with his "this-
ties Incidentally l would sug-
gest that reward be offered for one
fig found in his paragraphs.
You are not acquainted with his
writings? Here's sample of the
instruction that our youth, coming
out from the christian homes of our
beloved state, are asked to receive or
neglect to support their college pa
per-" LET every man create sub
stance to supply his needs and then
if he has any time he can howl
against Satan to his hearts con-
tent Those representatives of
Christ who are not material pro-
ducers but sacrifice all for fallen hui
mainly he denominates bowling par
asitic reformers and evangelists who
''never fail to take up collection"
Not desiring to reeollect his mothers
teachings that the Lord ordained
that those who preach the gospel
should live of the gospel. Compare
the labors Of D. L. Moody who does
not "create substance" with those of
Ingersoll and his ilk who are sup
posed to "create substance before
they begin to s'howl against Satan"
SO, thoughtful and logical minds
know that such writer's merely OBJ
scure and confound the nature of
things by their false principles and
sickening sophistry. Again he
seems to advocate that the Bible be
banished from our public schools
forgetting that outside of its moral
lessons it contains the purest En-
glish known and the finest literary
productions the world has ever
seen No Bible, no civilization or
right living. Once again hear this
most astute philosopher, "There is as
much reason in expecting the public
school to teach idol worship or the
non-existence of God as to ask it to
teach Christian living" Verify,
verify, "A little learning is a dan
gerous thing" Truly THE wisdom
of this world is the foolishness of
God"
Further, he declares that grant
ing Of franchises by towns and cities
to companies or individuals is worse
than granting licenses to saloons" y
] don't believe one word of it al
though heartily opposed to the fran
chise system.
"No man need enter a saloon un-
less he wants to- than which few
statements are more false or mis-
leading as thousands of confirmed
drunkards will testify. Habit oft
repeated becomes necessary. So let
us remove the temptation that SO
easily besets our brother for we are
his keeper
Then this cleaner of thistles for
our boys and girls wants them to
know of his enemy, minister of the
gospel, at Anderson, W. Va, who
kindly considers him an ignoramus
and unregenerate sinner" 1t is very
true that even our enemies may do
us valuable service by pointing
out our imperfections. BY their
words we are to know them. What
further need have we of witnesses. :"

TWO POINTED QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

What Is the use of making q better
article than your competitor If you can
not get better price for it? ..
Ans.-As there is no difference In the
price the public will buy onlyth better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on single sale they will be much great
er in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?.
II both articles are brought prominent.
ly before the public both are certain, to
be tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.

Newtown people will be interested in
the anr ouncement that Rev Lyman Alb
bolt, D. D., pastor of Plymouth Con-
grtgational church, Brooklyn, resigned
as pastor on Sunday last. DR. Abbott
has lectured in Newtown twice within q
few years, and quite number had the
pleasure of meeting him personally
| when here.
His sermon on Sunday prepared the
congregation for something unusual. 1t
was on the duty of the church to carry
out the work which Christ had begun,
and he emphasized the duty of each in
dividual member in this respect. He
said that the enthusiasm of Christians
for this work should not be dependent
on priests or ministers, and that if any
churth should lose it's pastor it should
nevertheless go on with the work with
uLflAgging zeal. He could not always
be pastor OF Plymouth church, but the
work of Christ would have to be kept up
whether individual pastors went or re-
manned.
With considerable emotion DR. Abbott
then said that the time was near
when he must lay down his work. He
reminded his hearers that when in 1887
he was asked to supply the pulpit of
Plymouth church, it was frankly given
as one reason for the selection that his
editorial duties would absolutely prevent
him from being regarded as candidate
for the passionate, and it was not until
May, 1888, that it was deemed possible
that he could fulfill both duties.
DR. Abbott is So years old. He was
BON in Massachusetts but came to New
York early in life and was graduated
from the University of the City of New
York while mere boy. He studied
jamin Vaughan Abbott, both of whom
became eminent as lawyers and writers
of works on law. After year or two
in their office he became convinced that
the ministry was his calling. He stud
led theology and about 40 years ago
Joined Plymouth church. His first pas
Corate was in Indiana. He afterward
became active in work for the relief of
the freedmen, and after acting for
brief period as pastor of a church in
New York became associated with Mr.
Beecher in the editorship of the Chris
tian Union. On Mr. Beecher's retire
ment he assumed entire charge Of the
publication, which is now known as the
Outlook.
On Mr. Beecber's death in 1887 he
acted first as supply and then as actir e
pastor. In May, 1888, he was elected
pastor of the church. He soon attained
position in the foremost rank of Amer
lean preachers and there is probably no
clergyman whose sermons have been
more widely published, His liberal
views have brought down upon him as
fierce criticism as his predecessor suffer-
ed, but the church stood by him
thI oughout as steadfast as it stood by
it's first pastor. In addition to his work
as preacher and editor, DR. Abbott has
published a number of books.

Editor of THE BEE, Dear Sir: Agree
ably to promise, will give you q short
account Of my third trip across the con.
tinent. In company with friend from
Woodbury., L left New Milford, Conn.
on Tuesday, November s, went to Pitts
field and took the tourist sleeper for
Chicago, where we arrived on Wednes,
day evening. Having been transferred
from the Michigan to the Union depot,
our journey to the Land of Sunshine"
in reality commenced at this point.
Wednesday had been a very rainy day
and when we awoke in Eastern Iowa Oh
Thursday morning the earth was blan.
keted with snow. Passing westward
across that state we soon left the snow
behind US and from that time on have
seen but little of wintry weather. Hav-
ing long and heavy train, largely COM
posed of tourists to this western land,
on Thursday night, in Nebraska, the iron
horse was unable to cope with the load,
and, as the teamsters say, got set and
baked. The result was the train had to
be divided and our section reached Den
yer an hour and half late. We were
to stop there that length of time, but
owing to the delay we were allowed only
10 minutes. Reaching Leadville In the
early evening, we found the air crisp and
frosty, with snow squalls. Morning
found us in Utah passing through Provo
and Salt Lake City. We reached Ogder
in time, but were detained some -four
hours waiting for the train over the
Union Pacific.
East of Provo we met long freigh
train going east over the mountains
with three engines in front anG two q

will, the grade for long distanc,
being four and one-half per cent. A
Ogden we learned that section OF tn
snow sheds and tunnel connecting tn
sheds had been on fire and no trains hat
passed over the Sierra Nevada sine
