SHALL SUNDAY BE
 THE LORDS DAY

The Latin races have used the word "Dominico," or Day of the Lord. to des- ignate the first day of the week since the reign of Pope Sylvester l., who ruled the church from A. D. 3l4 to 337.
 From the beginning we find that all those people who derive their language from the Portugese-do not honor a heather god in the specific title which they give to the day which we call holy, but they call 1t, as we do in ecclesiastic Latin Lords Day. "Dominico"-in Spanish, Italian and Por- tuguese. and "Dimanche" in French
 The change which the Christian church made from the Sabbath to Sunday is too we'll known to need discussion. The early followers of Christ chose the first day of the week as the day of prayer rather than tie last. mainly to commemorate His glorious resurrection.
 The teachings of the early fathers tell us that the Holy Ghost descended upon the disciples on Whit Sunday or Pentecost, and this constitutes another reason for the change. The observance of the Sunday or day of rest does not emanate from the natural law, which would indeed require us to worship the author of nature during parts of every day rather than during a whole day every week.
 There Is no divine law which commands us to commemorate Sunday. The observ.

A PAINFUL CEREMONY
Touching SceneWb en the Feeble IF Father
 1.-the House" Took the Oath
From the Washington Letter.

From the Washington Letter.
 The closing scene in the career of the late MT. farmer of Pennsylvania was one of the most pathetic ever witnessed in con- gress, and evidenced the pride and indom- itable will which always characterized him. It falls to the duty of the Father of the House to administer the oath to the new speaker. MT. farmer had looked forward to this ceremony with pleasant anticipa- tion from the moment 1t was known that MT. Henderson would succeed MT. Reed When the time came, although he was con- fined to his home in Germantown with a tedious illness which, 1t was known by his family, must result fatally MT farmer insisted on being brought to Washington that he might act his part in the installa- tion of the new speaker. He was, however, very feeble and 1t was thought 1t would be impossible for him to drive to the house, but at the moment appointed he was in his place, giving no sign to those about him of the suffering he must have endured. His once handsome and Stalwart figure, en- feebled by age and illness, was supported up the aisle by two employees of the house, and although he essayed to hold his head proudly as he was wont, 1t was evident that the effort cost him great pain. His eyes, almost blnd sought in vain to read the oath of office, and now and again he was prompted by Captain Chancey, who SUD- ported him. But he went bravely through with the ceremony and when he left the chamber said a cordial good-by to his asso- ciates, few of whom realized they were making their last adieus to the Father of the House."

anee Is purely of ecclesiastical origin, dat
 ing, however, from the time of the apostles.
 blt as we have no trace of the Sabbath
 pelhg observed among the Hebrews before
 the tune of Moses, we need not question the authority of the apostles to sanetify Sun oay and set 1t apart as the day on which God.
 The Anglo-Saxon word Sunday Is the name given to honor the sun, the divinity considered the most powerful in heather mythology. The names of the other days of the week are chosen to honor some oth- CT divinity, as Monday, Luna, the moon; Tuesday, Mardi Mars, the god of war; Wednesday, Woden, or Mercury; Thursday, or Torsday, the day on which Jupiter was remembered; Friday was dedicated to Ven us, and Saturday to Saturn, the father of Jupiter and Neptune.
 l believe that all Christian people should proclaim their belief in the Son of God by honoring His name in the day which they have chosen to consecrate to Him. This country is Christian country, and by adopting the word Lords Day. or "Son- day. to honor the word incarnate. it will bear witness of the truth. In the Latin we used to say "Dies de Dominus," but this was considered too cumbersome for ordn- ary use so the name has become simply Dominico
 There will be some means of simplify ing the English word to meet the popular requirements. We follow the New Testa- ment as our guide, and we will find therein many reasons for calling the first day of the week the Lords Day" Thus, there is but one passage In the New Testament in which we find the first day mentioned specifically as the Lords Day. namely, in the Apoc. 1, 10. In Acts xx., 2, we are told that St. Paul abode seven days at Troas, and that on the first day of the week the disciples came together to break bread. We have every reason, both from revelation and from tradition, to consecrate the first day of the week to the Son of God and to name it for Him ds consistently and religiously to put in practice the theory of our be- lief; I am interested In this discussion, and hope that it will bear good fruits among the believers In Chirst in this country.

PUPILS STRANGELY TERRIFIED
Their Schoolhouse Was Abandoned and
 Nobody Would Buy It
on the Chicago Times-Herald.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
 The murder of Lucia Abbott, a young lady of Carroll county, Ind, in 1886, and the subsequent hanging of Amos Green by a mob for the murder has been revived in the public mind by an attempt to sell the Walnut Grove schoolhouse, in front of which Green paid the penalty of his crime. The school had been taught regularly since the tragedy till about four years ago, when the children began to complain of peculiar noises about the building and of their books and slates being moved mysteriously about the room.
 Some of them said that some unseen agen- cy had changed their lunches from one basket to another, had removed their books while they had their eyes upon them, and that these demonstrations were often ac- companied by indistinct mutterings and sometimes by clearly distinguished groans. At first these things were attributed to mis- chievous boys, but the complaints became so frequent and so general that the par ents of the children began to consider them seriously.
 Some of the teachers during this time admitted that peculiar noises were heard in the room, and that the children at other times appeared panic-stricken when there was no apparent cause
 During the second school term after these noises were first complained of many of the children attended the school with much reluctance, and came home so often with stories of mysterious moving of their books and changing of the lunches from one bas- ket to another, sudden falling off of hats and coats from the places where they were hung, that the pupils gradually dropped off till the teacher was left to occupy the school room alone. He admitted the con ditions, but had no explanation for them. He sat- out his term, and another teach CT was employed at the opening of the next school year, but no one came to school, and he resigned. That was two years ago, and since then no teacher has been employed at the Walnut Grove school house.
 Finding that the people would not patron ize the school, Trustee Allison advertised It for sale, and it was offered to the high est bidder. A number of the farmers in the neighborhood were present, but not bid was offered for the property, some of the farmers saying they would not have it as a gift, and the attempt to sell was abandoned.
 The school property consists of about a half acre of ground and a one-story frame house, which is in excellent repair Sev- eral walnut trees stand in the yard, and it was supposed that these would cause the property to sell, as that timber is scarce and valuable. It was on a limb of one of these trees that Amos Green was hanged While the rope was around his neck and he stood in momentary expectation of being swung up, he sang "See That My Graves Kept Green"
 house will be allowed to rot down, as it will not pay the township to keep it in re- pair when the people will not patronize the school.
