MORRILL,. Rev. H. 1. Holt delivered a
very impressive memorial sermon Sunday
Sept. ODD, on the recent tragedy at Buffalo
He took for his text Psalms 26: 9, and
showed that although this was the deed OF
an anarchist, who is opposed to all govern
ment, and all law; yet it is but an acute
form of a spirit of lawlessness that prevails
even in communities like our own. The
statutes in relation to temperance are violat
ed by officials and citizens alike. Laws, hui
man and divine, relating to the sanctity of
Sunday, are disregarded, and held in con-
tempt, with much the same spirit the
anarchist exercises in regard to govern
ments, rulers and laws. Last Tuesday the
secretary of the State Sunday School Asso.
citation, assisted by others, met with the
Morrill, Sunday School at the church, a few
being present from the schools of surround
ing towns. A very profitable program was
