that Leaving aside the abrogation of ceremonials,
there is absolutely nothing left. Why, young man,
not so many years ago congregation prayed in
Gods own language and better than all understood
every word. | admit, prayer in any language is
ceptabe in the sight of the Lord but the import of
the prayer is lost.
:" / recall, and wildly, on Rosh Hashonah the So
lemn1ty OF the services and the dignity of the observ
ance There was gaiety carriage riding, no
champagne faPPe, or queeny ladies in court dresses
awaiting the coming OF carriage parties, going from
house to house under the guise of making New-Year
calls simply to fill up with Wines punches, and ham
sandwiches entwined in pink ribbons.
And on Yom Kippur there running in

knew it was the Yom Haddin-a day of Judgment
Then as the 1'flahs progressed, the mind was
held to the seriousness of the day thus spent in fast
ing and prayer 1t was not matter of self. The
prayers embodied not only the individual thus en-
crossed, but 'Kol Israel-all of Israel
" l oft recall how tears courSed down the cheeks of
the elders when they read aloud mo- ~ 11'fr ~
who shall live and who shall die!
"Was it not beautiful tribute to humanity?
Can 1T be said that it was persoal fear of death
Nay, they wept because of the impending fate of
some OF the great family of Israel"
That's all very pretty said another hearer as
the Old Raconteur reached for his hat and umbrella

you suggest that worshipers in temples and syna-

struck him, he said 81 have noticed for some years
that the very few worshipers who have knowledge

held meeting last "Wednesday evening,
at which it was announced that John
Lind would speak under its auspices
here some time in February.
There are at least seven candidates
in the field already for judgeship nom-
nations on the Democratic ticket.
Those candidates so far named are
James w. Lawrence, a. d. Smith, Judge
Charles M. Pond, A. T. Ankcny, Stephen
Mahoney, +. c. Brooks and j. c. Haynes
There are three uneXpired terms to be
filled out by election, the three judges
who have been appointed to fill va
cancies going out. Judges Johnson, Nc
Gee and Lancaster will thus come lip
for reelection and all will be candi-
dates before the Republican convention.
Judge Lancaster, who was appointed as
a geld Democrat, will also come up for
Democratic nomination. Judge Kerr,
of the municipal court, it is said, will
be one to try for a district court nom
nation. 1t is not probable that any
gold Democrat will receive the nomina-
ton for any office from the Democrats

Editor of the Irish Standard,

Editor Of the Irish Standard.
Mandan, N. d., Jan. 13.-The talk Of
any one to the effect that George Bin
gentlemen is or ever was member Of
the A. P. A. is all nonsense and all
wrong. 1t only tends to injure the
Catholic church. Mr.. Bingenhiemer has
lived here for years and has always been
friendly to the church, and every one
here knows it. He has been as friendly
to the Catholic church as to any other.
It would never worry George If he never
attended divine worship. This is true
and correct. Sincerely yours,
A CATHOLIC.

a vote of thanks was rendered to Mrs.
Daley for her Kindness and courtesy AMI
for the able manner in which she con-
Quoted the organization of the division.
In the evening an informal reception

stead in honor of Mrs. Daley. Mrs.

Ginnis. county president, A. o. H., of

The past week in the voting contest
was lively one. Thirteen of the can
didates have added in the aggregate
over seven thousand votes to the total
cast thus far and the order of their
standing in the race has shifted consid-
erably. Brainerd's choice, Thos. H.
Murphy. is again in the van, followed
by O'Connor, Kelley, Buckley and Nc
Conville in the order named. The latter
has made another strong move forward
and is now we'll up among the leaders.
Considerable activity has also been dis
played by the friends of a number of
the other candidates, enough to indicate
that the leaders are not at all secure In
their positions. The contest will no
doubt show many surprising changes
from week to week henceforth and the
final results are harder than ever to
conjecture. The friends of the various
candidates should exert themselves in
keeping their favorites away from tho
bottom of the list at least While it Is
possible that some one at the bottom
may yet prove the winner of the first
prize, yet those who are we'll up stand
the best chance of securing a share of
the floating vote, which is considerable
each week in the aggregate.
