pREsBYTERlANs MEET.


Philadelphia, May 1.-THE Presby-
terrain general assembly began its
18th meeting here yesterday. Rev.
Henry Collin Minton, DID,, Of San
Anselmo, CAL, was elected moderator.
OF the $50 commissioners there were
but few absentees and most Of these
will doubtless arrive to-day, having
been unavoidably delayed. The open
ing hymn, ~ Love Thy Church, Oh
Cod" was sung by the vast assem-
blage Of delegates and spectators.
Then came the sermon Of Rev. DR..
Dickey, who spoke for two hours on
the coming Of the kingdom Of Christ.
At the conclusion of his sermon DR..
Dickey constituted the assembly, the
commissioners standing during the
invocation. Recess was then taken
until three o'clock, when the roll Of
commissioners was called and the or
ganization of the assembly effected.
There was no business session at
night, the commissioners participant

Can They Do II?

The Populists have a scheme OIL
getting the Democrats out Of theil
own party into some kind Of CON
glomeration, to be called any old
name, with the hope that later on
they will be able to shift the whole
concern into the Populist ranks. This
is their official proposition. We quote
from acting Chairman Babb's letter
to j. Mack Love:
"The Democratic party is a great
national party, and because Of Its
great national character Its members
would naturally refuse to give up Its
organization in this State. The Peo-
pies party is great national party,
holding views considerably different
from those held by the national Dem.
ocratic party, although the great ma
jority Of Kansas Democrats are In
agreement with them. II Is impossi-
Bile for Populists to become members
Of the Democratic party at this time.
Many Of them hope that the Demo.
cratic party may come into substan-
tlsl agreement with Populist princi.
pies by the time Of the next national
convention in 1904. On the other
hand more Of them fear that the plu.
tocratic element Of the Democrats
will resume its domination in the
councils Of the party and make union
oralliance with them impossible. Most
Of our remedial legislation must come
through state laws, and supreme
effort ought to be made every two
years to elect a state legislature and
administration by us that will give
the people Of the state direct
legislation and public ownership Of
public utilities, Believing that the
rank aud file Of the opposition forces
In Kansas want to unite In the com.

New Honors for Methodism.

II the antiquarians Of Savannah are
right, that city and the Methodist
church may claim new distinction.
Hitherto Robert Ralkes, a printer Of
Gloucester, England, has been credit
ed with originating the Sunday
school. In 1880, finding many chill
dren growing up in religious ignor-
ance, Raikes began to gather the
street urchins about him and to
teach them the Bible and the cate.
chism.
Down in Savannah, however, they
say that John Wesley, the founder Of
Methodism, began the same sort Of
work forty.iour years earlier. In
1885 Wesley came to Savannah as
Governor Oglethorpe's chaplain and
rector Of Christ church. He was not
satisfied with formal preaching, but
sought especially to win the children,
and held separate meetings for their
benefit. From entries in Wesley's
diary, recently discovered, there is
reason to believe that on May 9, 1886,
in the courthouse, was held the first
Sunday school IS that institution is
understood today.
OF course no one contends that up
to that time the church had neglected
altogether the religious instruction
Of children. By the Roman Catholic
and by the Lutheran churches that
duty had always been performed.
But the reformation in England, by
depriving the priest Of his ancient
personal authority, had led to great
neglect Of the young and the poor in
matters Of religion. New methods
were necessary to prevent the people
from falling into religious ignorance.
1t Is well known that the English
state 'church's neglect Of the poor
impelled Wesley to begin the move
ment which led to the organization Of
the Methodist church. II the Savan.
nah sutiquarians are correct, he is
also to be credited with the first at
tempt at religious instruction Of chill.
dren upon the lines now followed by
all the Protestant denominations.
John Wesley's personal work In
America is unusually described as
unsuccessful" But bis experience
with the problems arising in COM
muuities separated from their old
and struggling for ex.
istence, was undoubtedly valuable to
him and helped to lead him to a
clearer perception Of the spiritual
needs Of bis time. That be should
have been first to try systematically
to organize in q new way the religious
instruction Of youth Is but another
evidence Of bis greatness as a relig-
lous leader.

The Pops are willing to drop theil

past and future Of Democracy, Mr..
Love seems to DO serious, but he gets
exceedingly funny when he asserts
that the Peoples party must abandon
Its organization and come into the
Democratic fold. In the statement
given Mr.. Love frankly confesses
that the Peoples party has two or
three times the number Of voters in
the state that the Democrats have,
and says that II they come into the
Democratic party they can control
Its nominations and adopt such plat

and thereby bring about all the re.

ut Is somewhat amusing to see the

under such banner-admit that re.
form can now be accomplished only
by having Democracy controlled by a
party that has not principle in

The Game af Chess

The game of chess differs in the vari-
GUS countries OF the world. Thus, in
the Hindoo game. four distinct armies
are employed. each with their king,
each corps counting among it's fighters
an elephant and Il knight which STAY,
but cannot be slain. The Chinese game
of chess. which boasts of the title of
choke-choc-kong-ki Uhe play of the sci
ence of war;. has river running
through the center of the board, which
their elephants, equivalent to cur bish-
ops. cannot cross, and there is fort
which their kings cannot pass.
Under the Sanskrit name Of chatu-
ranga game essentially the same as
modern chess was played in Hindustan
nearly 5000 years ago. From Hin
dustan the game is said to have been
carried to Persia and thence to Arabia.
The Arabs introduced it into Spain and
the rest of western Europe during the
eighth century. where it became the
principal pastime about the year 1000.
