"ADIToR' In PULPIT.
Ahtithesis to Experiment Made by
Rev. Charles Sheldon.
New York Methodist Minister Deliv-
ers what He styles a Parable
-Presents Some Interesting
and Unique Ideas.

In antithesis to the recent expert
ment made by Rev. Charles Sheldon,
Rev. DR.. Jay Benson Hamilton, in the
DeKalb Avenue Methodist church, the
other night read what he termed
parable, entitled "The Editor in the
Pulpit" 1t was in part as follows:
"The pastor of a strong Methodist
church in a city within few hours ride
Of New York city exchanged,with col
lege chum, who was the editor of
daily paper. The editor discarded all
traditions in the management of the
social meetings. The tramps who held
no church relations were forbidden to
speak, long-winded prayers and testi-
monies were interrupted and short
ened, the familiar use of the name of
God was rebuked, the denunciation of
the sins of others instead of the con-
fessions of ones own ssins were sup
pressed; anything contrary to the COM
mon sense In social worship was re-
strained q
"The city was canvassed in the inter-
est of religion as men canvassed it for
business. Every family was faithfully
and systematically approached. The
church was thrown wide open every
day. A reading-room for men and
women and playroom for children
established. A social happy home was
provided every week night in the ap-
dience room. A choice entertainment,
consisting of lectures, recitations, vocal
and instrumental music, was furnished
free of charge. Representatives of the
church greeted all who attended with
a word of welcome and dismissed them
| with warm invitation to come again.
"The sermons dealt with sins in the
church. The first sermon revealed the
alliance of the church with the saloon.
Names of prominent members were
given who owned property which was
rented for saloons, who manufactured
liquor or who were addicted to its use
and abuse.
"The Sunday evening problem was
solved by making the service popu-
lar one by means Of pictures, music and
vivid addresses on practical questions
in the light of the Bible truth. The ed
itor concluded his ministry by confess
| ing that the difficulties encountered by
| the minister were a revelation. Both
minister and editor had learned by
their experience that the press and the
pulpit were not enemies nor rivals. but
allies. Each in it's own place and in it's
| own way was a messenger of God to
man."

The Married Life Of Mr.. and MRS.
H. B. Gray Touched the Half
Century Mark ON the goth
of April.

Near the noon hour of April Goth,
Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. Gray. of Mowrys-
town, were agreeably surprised to see
a great number of their relatives en-
tering their yard loaded with baskets,
boxes, ETC., which remembered them
that that was Mr.. Gray's seventy-tifth
birthday anniversary. After the usu-
al hand-shakings, tears. smiles and
greetings, always customary on such
occasions, a large table was prepared
which, literally speaking, fairly
groaned under its weight of eatables,
such as roast chicken and beef, fried
sausage, sandwiches, deviled eggs,
cheese, butter, jellies, pickles. pies of
every kind, and cakes, cookies, etc.
by far too numerous to mention.
At the head of the table were seated
Mr. and Mrs. Gray, beside them the
formers sister. Mrs. J. Badgeley,
then Mrs. Gray's sister and brother.
Mrs. Long, and Mrs. G. w. Badgeley,

INCREASE OF CUBAN NEGROES,
II Keeps Pace with the Enormous I'm.
migration of White
People.

In an editorial on the census returns
the Diario de layMarina comments upon
the fact that the black race during the
last 30 years has kept pace in growth
with the whites, despite the enormous
Increase in the number of whites by i'm
migration. 1t calls attention to the
danger to the white race If immigration
should be interrupted, and insists that
a great necessity exists for the encour-
agement Of immigration on much
larger scale If the danger is to be
averted.
Commenting upon the returns show
ing that even in Santiago there is pre-
dominance of whites over blacks, the
Diario says the census statement seems
to be inconceivable except on the the
ory that persons more than half white
have been classed with the whites. 1t
declares that there is no doubt that
thousands Of persons who have been
,classed as whites have so much negro
blood in their veins that the fact should
have been apparent at first glance.
Certainly in the United States they
would be called negroes.
A petition signed by large number
OF negroes has just been presented to
Senior Tamayo, secretary of state, ask
ing that law be passed prohibiting de-
scriptive words black and brown being
applied to Cuban citizens in warrants
issued by the police courts and forbid

perpetuate race antagonisms. and they
declare that as they have proved their
worth, they want to be called only

Calvanism and Tecumseh.

The doctrine and individual men,
toned in the heading are very much
in evidence in the NEws-HERALD at
the present time. The individual
(Tecumseh) referring to the doctrine
expresses his sympathy for his friend
John McNicol. John requests the
writer to say that he John has no
tender place in his system which Te-
cumseh, Parkhurst or Gregg may feel
fearful of lacerating. He says he is
looking on with perfect composure
at this tempest in teapot. He says
that it may be that calvanism, like
Belshazzar of old, is weighed in the
balance and found wanting" that is,
weighed in modern balances" Nc
Griffet, Briggs, Parkhurst, Hills,
Gregg and Tecumseh all see it tumb-
ling into inocuous desuetude, SO to
speak. Yes, even some of the Hills
boro divines think it will fade away
on account of it's lack Of Apostolic
succession.
John says to tell Tecumseh and the
others fearful for the future of cal
vanism that he is in exactly the same
state of mind in regard to this agi.
tatiOn as was Gillio of old in re.
gard to conditions in his time, "car.

find themselves in the same dilemma
that Tecumseh describes Joe Jeffer-
son being in, when confronted with
the man with "ferocious eye glasse s. y
They, like Joe, may be ready to change
their minds --- some sweet day
Tecumseh's talk about the register OF
of certain melodies, crops of greens
churches round the Ecorner and cal
vanism, John said all sounded to him
like "shop talk"

Obituary.

Eoha-t NJ. Certier was born Febru-
ary Goth. 1884. and died March 23d.
800, aged l6 years, | month and 3

embraces much that was good. At

hurch and continued an obedient and
humble follower of the Master until
called to his reward Robert was of
whom it is truthfully said. "For me to

friend. But there are soric things
in the workings of Providence that
pass beyond our comprehension.
When the aged arc called away. when
the form is bent with many years of
service and the head silvered with
age, then we say the sheaf was ripe.
It was ready to be gathered into the
garner. We can realize why that
should be so. But when the tender
flower is plucked, just as it is budding
into manhood or wOmanhood. then we
are compelled to stand in awe, vet
with reverence, and bow in humble
submission to the will of Him who
doeth all things well. Today then we
rejoice in the comforting thought

moulder back to dust from whence it
came, bnt we did so under the blessed
! knowledge of the fact that he had Sc
cured for himself the promise of the
| Master that He would one dav fash
ion it after His Own glorious body.
Thank God for the Christians hope.
So, while the pathway of life some
times grows very dark and gloomy,

we can look up to brighter. better

He has called, thank God, were fully
prepared. They are at this moment
in full enjoyment of the blessings of
the redeemed. May the Lord bless

OBITUARY.
Prominent Newspaper Man Has
Joined the Silent Many.

In a recent issue of the NEWS HER
AID brief mention was made of the
death of j. W. Bridwell, formerly of
this city. The following taken Har-
riman Record will be satisfactory to
his many friend in this county:
The news of the death of j. w. Brid-
we'll, which took place about half past
twelve Tuesday morning, came with
great suddeness to his friends although
it was felt he could hardley survive
very long. He had seemed to improve
little the past week but as he was able
to take scarcely any nourishment he
had become greatly reduced in
strength. Monday it was seen that
the end was very near. His son H. l..
Bridwell, with the Strobridge Litho-
graphing Co., Cincinnati, was sum-
moned but arrived too late to see his
father alive.
Mr.. Bridwell was born at Greenfield.
Ohio, October 8, 1882, and was there
fore in his 6oth year. In his youth he
took up the work of telegraphing,
serving for a number of years as oper-
ator on the old Marietta g. Cincinnati
road, now part of the B. 90. system.
He was also for a number of years
secretary for Alfred Gather, presi-
dent of the Adams Express Company.
Later he took up newspaper work,
cnr he til
and the Enquirer in special work for
over twenty-five years. He was for
some time editor of the Hillsboro,
Ohio, Gazette, and founded the Satur-
day Herald in the same city. He
came to Hartman in the fall of 1890
to take the position of city editor of
the Daily Advance, which he filled
with great satisfaction for several
years. During shot interval in his
connection with the Advance he start
ed the Tribune. A little more than
year ago he began the publication ~
The Southland in which he tcuE ,....Lt
pride, and it caused him deep rl.ry,
during his illness that he could 70
continue it's publication promptly.
He was greatly interested in Harri-
mans growth and prosperity and was
intensely loyal to the temperance
principles upon which it was founded.
He was not ELUSIVE in his friendship
but constant to those who won his re-
spected and esteemed by all.
He was married to Harriet V. Loud
of Huntsburg, Ohio, December %,
1858, and is survived by his widow,
two sons, and three daughters and
several grandchildren. The eldest
son, f. j., lives in ST. Louis, H. L. in
Cincinnati, Mrs. George Shepard in

and Miss Estelle living in the family
home in Hartman.
Brief funeral services were held at
his late residence Tuesday afternoon

many years and son H. L., were taken
