A Kansas man has brought suit
against a church society of his city on
rather remarkable grounds. He de-
clares that he bought and paid for
burial lot in the cemetery owned by
the church organization, and that he
hurled his wife there. Recently his
daughter died. and her last request
was that she be buried by the side OF
her mother; but when the arrange
ments we're being made the church
officials denied the use of the cemetery
on the ground that the girl had not
been a member of their society. The
girl was buried elsewhere, and the
father asks for IS, 600 damages.

A Pennsylvania justice of the peace
had wife-beater before him the other
day. The brute forgot himself once
too often. Carrying his domestic
manners into the courtroom, he was
insolent to the Bench. The justice
descended from the seat of judgment,
took off his coat and had the culprit
out in a few moments. Then he re-
sumed his usual dignified bearing and
sentenced the criminal to a term OF
imprisonment. For such an example
of militant justice that community
ought to return thanks. In that case
at least the punishment was made7
to fit the crime.

Sunday school lesson papers for the
Christian Observer, and Rev. j. L.
Porter, of the Baptist Witness, and
Rev. Howard Dutil, of the Methodist
church of this city, were introduced
as visiting ministers.
The principal business of the pres
bytery, was the ordination Of Rev.
Robert Hugh Morris, Of this city,
which was done on Wednesday, afte r
the young applicant having stood, it
is said, one of the most splendid and
rigid examinations that has ever
come before the Suwanee presbytery.
Rev. Morris preached his trial sermon
on Wednesday morning at eleven
o'clock, which more than met the ex-
pectations of the presbytery.
The installation sermon was
preached Wednesday night by Rev.
Mr.. Boggs, of Jacksonville, Rev. Mr..
Hay, of Palatka, preaching the minis
terial charge to the yonng applicant,
and Rev. Mr.. Way, of Gainesville,
preaching the charge TO the congrega-
ton. These features of the proceed
ings were profoundly solemn and in
teresting.
The presbytery adjourned at noon
yesterday, and the delegates took the
train for Orlando, where the synod
comprising three preshyteries and
about eighty-tive churches, will con-
vene Sunday.
The session of the presbyiery here
was very much enjoyed, not ouIy 10y
the members of the Presbyterian
church but by all who were fortunate
enough TO attend the services.

THE OLD WAY AND THE NEW WAY.

The president wants more rigid I'M
migration laws passed. He says he
does not want "tbis nation to become
the dumping ground for the offscour-
ings of the earth"
Oh, how our ears would tingle with
pride if we could hear the old time
doctrine once more proclaimed from
the White House that "this nation is
an asylum for the poor and the OPP
pressed of every race"
How much more sweet and tolerant
the declaration.
Under the sound of those benevo-
lent and magic words this nation
grew to be the wonder and the pride
of all the earth.
The German, English, Irish, Rus
sian, Italian, Spaniard, and represent
tatives from most other lands, dis
covered the gateway open, the latch
string hanging on the outside, and
under the then invitation found hos
pitable homes on our shores, grew up
with our institutions, assimilated with
our people, and became the heroic
defen ders of the flag.
The stern figure that now sits in the
White House denying to others the
invitation so freely granted to his
own, lis. a living illustration of the
wisdom of the liberal policy of the
founders of this government.
Theodore Roosevelt is scion of
lowly Germans who immigrated to
our shores to better their condition
and found here an asylum and a
refuge.
The wide-open doorway of our an
cestors we believe was Gods way and
is the best way.
1t has proven a benedictiOn and
under it the American flag like the
rod Moses lifted up in the Wilderness
has become the healer of the nations!
