Russian Designs In Persia.

LONDON, Jan. l2.--The Calcutta cor
respondent Of the Daily Mail says:
while the official statement that no
alarm is felt regarding Afghanistan is
quite true, have good reason to be-
lieve that the Indian government has
received disquieting information re-
garding Russian movements in the di-
rection Of Persia. Russia Is taking
advantage of the Transvaal trouble to
strengthen her ornaments and to push
forward her outposts along the Persian
frontier, with view of ultin ate
action, a design in which Germany
would probably acquiesce in considera.
ton of receiving railway concessions"

ragged with its descriptions, has never
been soundly converted. The laying
on Of the hands of Presbytery or Epis-
copacy does not always change mans
heart. and men sometimes get into
the pulpit as well as into the pew never
having been changed radically by the
sovereign grace OF God. Get your
heart right and the Bible will be right
The trouble is mems natures are not
brought into harmony with the Word
Of God. All. my friends. expurga-

You cannot make me believe that the
Scriptures. which this moment lie on
the table Of the purest and best men
and women Of the age. and which were
the dying selace Of your kindred pass
ed into the skies, have in them faint

est criticism could make visible. II men
are uncomfortable In their indignation
when the integrity of wife or child
Is assailed. and judges and jurors as
far as possible excuse violence under
such provocation. what ought to be the
overwhelming and long resounding
thunders of condemnation for any man
who will stand in a Christian pulpit
and assail the more than virgin purity
OF Inspiration, the well beloved daugh-
tor OF Iod?
Expurgate the Bible! You might as
well go to the old picture galleries in
Dresden and in Venice and In Rome
and expurgate the old paintings. Per-
haps you could find a foot Of Michael
Angeles Last Judgment" that might
be improved. Perhaps you could throw
more expression into Raphael's Ma
donna" Perhaps you could put more
pathos into tReubens' Descent from
the Cross" Perhaps you could change
the crests Of the waves in Turner'S
Slave Ship" Perhaps you might go
into the old galleries Of sculpture and
change the forms and the posture OF
the statues of Phidias and Praxiteles.
Such an iconoclast would very soon
find himself in the penitentiary. But
1t is worse vandalism when a man pro-
poses to refashion these masterpieces
of inspiration and to remodel the moral
giants Of this gallery Of God.

he had first met Mrs. Callahan, who
told him her husband would do him
no harm, upon the strength OF which

Callahan came in he promptly gave
the visitor beating. The old Irish
man and his wife were both arrested.

ugly feature of the case was the al

caller into trap, but when put on the

to punch his head. Both parties seemed
