School Of Theology He chose his text
from Luke 10: 1O-For the Son Of Man is

lost" 1.-The publican of New Testament
times" he said, was collector Of taxes
His duties were similar to those OF Gus
TOMS officer OF our day. The collectors
generally were natives of the province to
which they belonged. Theirs was VIC
ious system, with all sorts of corruption.
Their business was the basis OF all llvell-
hood and they were everywhere held IN
contempt. Under these conditions then.
you will not wonder that the publican Ms
became regarded rs degraded class, and
being considered degraded they became
degraded.
'Zucchaeus was not only publican.
but he was chief of publicans. He was de-
graded, he got that for which he sold his
soul, he got rich. On the event Of Jesus
through jericho, Zaccheus wished to see
him, and being man of small statue, ran
ahead OF the crowd and climb tree
Jesus looked up and saw him and babe
him come down. Iacchaeus did so and
was joyfullv received. Iacchaeus said to
the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my
pOUu' eife w ehe pun, uhu - h"'o '"A
en- anything from any man by false accu
sation | will restore him fourfold.' Jesus
had come to save Zacchaeus and this was
the result

Admiral Dewey just before leaving for

ACCORDING to the Philadelphia
Record, the lion and the lamb will
at last lie down together in Della
ware. The correspondent in this
city says: The three electoral
votes of Delaware will be of the
utmost Importance to President
Mckinley" If the foolish Repub-
beans, in this city especially, are
given to understand that the use
less fighting is to cease and union
Of the two factions to be accom-
plished, then only need President
Mckinley be sure OF the three cleo
toral votes from Delaware. This
State, without doubt, is Republi-
can, and every official in it should
be a Republican, if the strifecease.
There are hundreds OF Republicans
in this county who don't care
button who is elected Senator, so
Republicans occupy all the minor
Offices. According to the Every
Evening, there should be change
in the political complexion of the
Levy Court. Then it does not look
kindly on the Trustees of the Poor.
In fact, all the Democratic bodies,
from Senator Kenney down, have
been given a slap by the Every
Evening. 1t advocates a change,
and the only change to do any good
must come through the Republican
party.

had left his home with Dwight Moody,
bearing bible from his mother, with
this sentence marked: Seek ye first the
Kingdom of God aud all His righteous
ness, and all these things shall be added
unto you "On going to church the min
lister took tho above words for his text.
He thought the coincidence rather siugu-
lar, and on going to another church tho
following sunday, he was futher surprised
to hear the minister announce tho same
text. In three weeks afterwards he visit
cd another church and no was still more
surprised to hear the mini ter preach from

"The Dairy Farm is a rural
play. The scene is laid in Hurley,
a quaint one.street village i'll Ulster
County, in New York. The time is
ante bellum. The characters are
of the sort that crystalize in the
simplest country life. There are a
village miser and his antithesls, a
village pastor. There Is Il bluti
old country squire. There are a
peddler and his pretty daughtc.', a
plow-boy who is i'll love, an ambl-
tious young man who has visions OF
awidcr, more stirring life than that
found in Hurley. There are a fugl-
tive slave and a negress with a
marvellous voice full of tlutc-likc
tones. With this material Eleanor
Merron, actress and playwright,
has woven a curiously pleasing
fabric.
