TO THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH

this particular Pentecost Ia fraught with I
Incidents Of peculiar interest. Ii indicates |
the day of her birth the time when she |
was clothed with the power to execute |
the commission she had received from |
God. To the majority OF the multitude |
at that time assembled the feast was like
all that had preceded it. They did not |
understand the mighty change that was
TO take place in connection with it. They
did not know that on that sacred
day was to spring into being the Chris |
tian church. Gods ways are not as our
ways. At one time Christ thanked the
Father that what was hidden from the
wise and prudent was revealed unto
babes. What was not anticipated by the
multitudes and their rulers was in some
degree at least aprehended by the little
upper room engaged in prayer. The
command had been given them to tarry
at Jerusalem until they should be en-
dowed with power from On high.
They knew what the wise men of this
world did not know that great crisis in
the history Of the world and the nation
had been reached. That Christ having
assembled on high, leading captivity cap
tive, would soon pour upon the world
those gifts OF the Spirit, the effects of
| which would be felt to the end Of time.
| w
the lot of that body of disciples during
the years in which they had followed
Jesus They had seen his wonderful
miracles and had believed on HIM. At
his bidding they had left their Ordinary
duties and homes, and become the fol-
lowers of him who had not where to lay
his head, They had entered upon his
service with the same views OF the Mes
sisnic kingdom held by the rest of their
countrymen. They had seen their
schemes of earthly ambition rudely shat
tered. Instead of the vast following an
ticipated, the people rejected him. Their
opposition culmiE ated in the cruc fixior,
q and the hopes of the disciples were app
I Iparently blasted The day of the cruci-
fixion was followed by the Easter morn
ing of the resurrection, and again their
hopes revived. They came with the
7question, HLord, wilt thou now establish
the kingdom ?' Christ said: 1T Ia not
for you to know the times and the sea-
sons which the Father hath kept In bis
own power" Later on they beheld the
Lord ascending from the earth. They
had heard his special commission, and
his promise TO be always by them, and
that on the Giay of Pentecost they should
be endowed with power from above. Al
last the time for the fulflllment Of the
promise came. In an upper room to.
getiler they were waiting upon God. A
they prayed there came the sound of 8
rushing mighty wind. it filed all the
blouse where they were waiting, and
there appeared az IL were cl0ven tongues

The Home Circle.
A Sermon by Rev B. G. Pills
bury Of New Canaan.

Text, Acts IL :l8 q, "But this is that which
was spoken by the prophet Joel; and 1t shall
come to pass in the last days. saith Goa, l
will pour out OF my spirit upon all flesh; and
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions, ana
your old men shall dream dreams. And
will show wonders in heaven above, and signs
in the earth beneath; BLOOD and fire. and va
pOr and smoke: The sun shall be turned into
darkness, and the moon into BLOOD before
that great and notable day of the LordGcome.'
The two leading feasCs of the Jewish
people were the Passover and the Pente-
cost. They cOmmemOrated the two most
important events of Jewish history; the
denverance from Egypt and the organi-
cation of their church by the giving of
the law from Sinai. These feasts were
signalized by the large attendance of the
people. They were present, the Scrip
Jurt inform US, devout men, Jews from
every nation under heaven. The local
unity Of the Jewish people had been lost.
They were scattered. everywhere over the
ancient world. This scattering began
with the captivity, and has continued
from various causes until the present
time. Many Of the multitude had been
born in distant lande, and were more IA
miliar with the tongues of those distant
countries than with the language of Pal
estine. The dispersion in some cases had
resulted disasrrously to the religious life
of the people. They had for9 often
Jehovah and cared not to visit the sacred
city of their ancestors. With others it
was not so. They still retained the relig
ion of their fathers. In their distant
homes they built their synagogues; they
studied their law and whenever it was
possible, they went up to Jerusalem to
those great national feasts, where they
knew Jehovah WAS accustomed TO meet
his people. It was thus at this time.
Psrthis, Media, PhrYgia, Pontus, Egypt
and Rome, each contributed share to
the throng. How refreshing 1t must
have been to those devout men to be
again in associations so congenial. In
distant lands they were foreigners, des-
pissed, mated. Their Diety not reverenced,
themselves disliked, heathenism all
around. At Jerusalem it was not so.
There they were in the company of the
chosen people of God. Everything
around reminded them of Jehovah, and
his peculiar friendship for the children of
Abraham. The days when men met
God were feast days, not funeral. Days
of gladness, not Of mourning. They felt
it was good to meet God. That Ii was
blessed thing to dwell under the shadow
Of Mt, Zion. They prayed for the peace
of Jerusalem.

symbols of nature. To the Hebrew peo-
pie he came closer, but still there was q
barrier raised. The account Of the CIV
ing of the law symbolizes the old dispen-
sation. Around the mountain upon
which the law was given bounds were
placed. and the people forbidden under
pain of instant death to cross the limits.
Moses might ascend the mountain and
meet God, but thespeople must not. So
in the temple none could stand in the i'm
mediate presence of God, except the
High Priest once year in the holy of
HOLES.

TRAIN RoBpER CONVICTED.


Ono of Six in the Kansas City, Fort
scott and Memphis robbery.
Huntsville, No. June 20.-The jury be-
fore whom John Kennedy was tried for
completely in the robbery OF an express
train on the Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Memphis railroad at Macomb, Mo-, jan
uary 81 last. returned verdict this even
ing, adjudging Kennedy guilty and fixing
his punishment at seventeen years in the
State prison.
Strangely enough, it remained for Ken
nedy to be convicted by jury OF farmers
here in Huntsville. over twenty miles
from any railroads. for the authorities in
such railroad center as Kansas City had
signally failed TO convict him of any OF
the numerous charges of train robbery
which they had brought against him.
Six men We're actually engaged In the
Macomb hold-up. OF these Jake Fegley,
who received a sentence OF fourteen years
and John Kennedy have been convicted.
Old Bill Ryan. a member of the notorious
James gang; Joe Shepard, also a member
OF the old gang: Louis Fletcher, a young
farmer of this county, and Elmer Abram,
also farmer. are the others accused of
completely in the hold-up. Their trials
VIII follow that of Kennedy. Elmer
Abram, having aided the State in con
vlcting Fegley and Kennedy, will prob
ably not be severely punished.

But Just government rests on the consent
of the governed, and this country has al
ways recognized the fact until now. We
never assumed to govern pirates or head
hunters on account of their habits, even
when we conquered them, We whipped
the Algerine pirates and left them to gov
ern themselves as badly as they liked,
and to annoy other nations, which they
continued to do until other nations
trounced them also. We conquered Mexico,
and left II to govern itself when It's peo-
pie were in more barbarous condition
than the Filipinos. There was never a
country In more chaotic state than at the
time when we concluded our treaty, or a
people more de norallzed. treacherous and
lawless. More than that, until very re-
Gently we never undertook to regulate the

of abominations--and they lived under
them until few years ago. The pretense
that we have any right to seize foreign ter
ritory and subjugate Its people because
they are not UP to our standards is with
out a shadow OF support In American doe
tfines. Our theory is that every nation is
entitled to self government and that 1t

proposed Ex-Governor John Young Brown,
who was entirely acceptable to the Goebel
representative. But Governor Brown de-

other man. Judge Samuel Jones OF Bar

decision has been reached, but 1t is be-

Governor VIII Insist on the Trial al
the Bakers.
Frankfort, KY. June Ex-Governor Brad
ley was today in conference with Judge
James Eversole discussing matters relat-
ing to the feud. Judge EveTsole stated
that he would vacate the bench and the
governor will call special term to trS
the two Bakers Governor Bradley will
send troops to attend the court. The spe-
cial judge has not yet been appointed.
The governor has offered reward for The
arrest and conviction of the unknown
slayer of Tom Baker.
Beverly White the sheriff. has just re
turned to Manchester, and ii is reported
that he has secured large amount OF
ammunition and a number of guns with
which to equip more men in case Governor
Bradley attempts to have him and others
tried on the charge of numbering Tom
Baker. Sheriff White will say nothing
and looks worried. He remains close 10
his house and has not been to his office
since returning. His family have returned
home
John Whitmore arrived this afternc on.
He says the Whites deny most emphati-
cally that Tom Baker was killed by any
of them.
1t develops that brother of Judge Syer-
sole married a sister of the wife of Jason
Bowling, who is now in the feud, and this
further complicates matters, allying the
Judge with the Baker faction. and since
his brother was Joe Eversole leader OF a
faction OF the French Eversole feud, and
John G. White has for his hodyguard two
of the French fighters, serious compllca-
tions, bringing in new forces on either
side, are expected.
