This Life and the Next,

In considering the relations Of this
life to the next, of the life that now is
to the life that is coming, the first thing
of which note must be taken is the con-
tinuity of life; that there really is but
one life; that death is not a break in
the souls existence. but only an expe-
rience in its continuous life. Death is
like sleep in that we live while we
sleep. We live right on through a
nights repose into a new morning; so
we live right on through death into the
new day and the new world.-UniYer-
falist.

Few engineers have seen so many

Reason To lie Ashamed.

Though it may be months yet before
Schley Court OF Inquiry erds in hi
complete practical vinGicaiion ant
with deep cloud of disgrace upon The
department cabal that has been pursu
ing him. There is hardly phase o.
the case where the cabal has not
shown up most contemptbly. The
great cent trail fact developed is that the
Santiago victory vas, except for the
gallant work of the little Gloucester,
won by Schloy and Clark, in the
Brooklyn and Texas, that fought and
knocked out every one of the Spar ish
ships in succession, while the rest of
the feet was hardly in sight. And
yet Clark is left practically without
promotion, standing lower relatively
in rank thar before the war, while
Schley has had to undergo this torrent
of abuse and persecution from the de-
partment and its favorites who we're
not in the battle at all, This of itself
is enough to decide the country s.
opinion. But the proof on every one
of the charges against him has been Of
tbs Unlimited and inetfable meanness
it'll which he was treated. He was
despatched to Cienfuegos without
being given information the depart
ment had that the Spanish fleet had
left Caracoa. He was sent with a
partial supply of coal and then accused
of co.ardice because of the anxiety
any prudent commander would feel to
keep supplied. He was belabored for
not earlier finding out that Cervera
was not there, when the very mears
that had been arranged for finding
out we're withheld from him. He was
again accused of cowariice in not
closer engaging the Colon, when the
orders, of which the whole country
knew, were that not single ship must
be risked 10 engagements with shore
batteries until Cervera was disposed
of and we had the iuexprpssible hu-
initiation then of seeing the depart
mept try to prove, in order to fix
blame on him, that he did not know
of this order Arraigned for his ret
rograde movement, it was overwhelm-
ingly proved that it was founded -
aside from the coaling question, 90
from the very officers
lined up to accuse him. To complete
the story of shame, We have only to
look at Sampson, while Schley like
the gallant chivalric gentleman he is
was publicly giving him all possible
credit for his plans, returning, in in
littleness, Schley's Of
fetal report because it did not men
ton the New York in the engagement
in which it did not participate, and |
the department when it called for sup
or appendix" reports to
correct any errors it may have made,
suppressing that of Schley alone among
all the officers that responded to the
call
The American people have abundant
reason to be ashamed of this whole OK
hibltion of pettin SIS, intrigue, jeHl
ousy and injustice.

TO LIMIT THE NUMBER.
Eight Hundred Tickets to Be Issued
for the Next Lecture.

Rev. @. A. Getty. a prominent Lu-
theran minister of New York, will de-
liver the next lecture In the People 8
lecture course at the Berean Baptist
church. His subject will be Martin
Luther and will be finely illustrated
with the stereopticon. The trustees
desire to limit the audience to the
number that can be comfortably
seated in full view of the screen, and
therefore admission will be by ticket.
Judging from the patronage given to
the other lectures. they have deemed
| 1t necessary to arrange to have this
| lecture given on two successive even
| ings; this enables them to issue 800
complimentary tickets, 400 for each
evening. This will insure n comfort
able seat to all admitted, and good
view of the scenes that illustrate the
| life of the great reformer. The tickets
| will be placed in few of the leading
| stores. and in the hands of the men,
| bers of the congregation for distribu-
| ton early next week. \ postal card
request sent to the parsonage on Mon
| day will secure tickets by mail. This

dicate that the Offering be a liberal
one. The dates are Tuesday and We'd
