NORTHWESTERN Christian Adrnoate-

Nothing could be OF more service TO
the church and to the kingdom Of God
in these days than the spirit which
characterized the old prophets OF Israel
and some Of the preachers OF Reforma-
ton times-the spirit which grew out
of the sense Of Gods immediate pres
enee and the duty OF warning men
from impending danger. Such a man
was Bishop Latimer who once preached
sermon before Henry VIII. which
greatly offended his majesty. Latlmer
vas ordered TO appear the next Sunday
before the king and make a suitable
apology for his Ofense After reading
his text the bishop began his sermon
thus: Hugh Latimer, dost thou know
before whom thou art this day to
speak? To the high and mighty mon
arch, the kings most excellent ma
jesty, who can take away thy life II
thou offendest; therefore take heed
that thou speakest not n word that
may dlsplease. But, then, consider
well, Hugh. dost thou not know from
whence thou comest-upOn whose mes
SAGE thou art sent? Even by the great
and mighty God, who is all present and
who behodeth all ways and who Is
able TO cast thy soul into hell There
fore, take care that thou dcliverest thy
message faithfully"

In every soul there is a higher and
a lower, an altruistic and an egotistlc
self. Those who look upon the life
that now Isl as merely an oppor-
tunity for material and sensuous pleas
ure and gain, are seeing but one-half
Of life, and that the smaller half. But
those who have come to themselves and
have discovered the world of thought,
ana the world OF righteousness, and
the world of beauty, understand that
our years and our business here are to
be interpreted In larger terms than
those commonly used on the market.

club, or even in the thought OF some
expounders OF theology. The life that
now Is II We are awake to the fact,
means thatswe are sons and daughters
offthe living God--that now Is the ac-
cepted time, the hour of infinite value;
and that II we are blind and deaf now
we are losing opportunities that never
come but once.

Christian Intelligence.

The Apostle Paul was a preacher who
worthily ranked as a model In respect
to the subject, mode and design of his
preaching. He frequently affirmed;
we preach not ourselves, but Christ
Jesus the Lord" He was conscious
OF but one ambition which enlisted the
best energies Of his being and that was
to preach Christ unto dying world.
A more worthy ambition never gave
impulse 70 human soul You may
sit in judgment oil the character Of the
Apostles ministry, you may summon
before YOU ten thousand witnesses to
It's fidelity and eonstancy, and you can
arrive at but one conclusion, that Paul
never once preached Paul and him
glorifed, but always and everywhere,
it was Christ and Him crucifed."

Serious Fight at Leonville.

An unfortunate occurrence took
place at LeonvilIe, in this parish,
last Sunday, resulting in the Sc
rious stabbing of Alexis Moreau,
Jr., and the young son Of Emile
Robin being severely bruised. 1t
appears that difficulty took
place the night before ut a ball
between several young men and
one of the Robin boys, and after
mass Sunday the trouble was re-
newed. A general fight ensued,
III which the two young men above
named were hurt.
Al affidavit was made the fol-
lowing day by the father of the
wounded boy, and an information
has been fled by the district at
torney against Emile Robin,
the father of the ether boy,
charging him with stabbing with
intent to murder.
Both families are well known
among the best citizens of that
locality, and much regret is ex-
pressed by the community gen
orally.

Still Sleeping.

Some time since, in treating of
cartain local abuses, we conf
IDENTIFY predicted that, while the
public conscience seemed to be
asleep, it would soon awake and
do away with these abuses. We
are free to say that our expecta-
tion has not been fully realized,
and we would again sound note
of warning. We fear that here in
St. Landry toe many of us have
got beyond the point where we con-
slider public Office a public trust.
Some one has very correctly
called it ''private snap" which
comes very near fitting the case,
and no one seems to consider it
his business to attempt a reform,
or even to bring about slight
improvement, as a sort of enter
ing wedge calculated to lead to
better things. In fact, some peo-
pie seem to think it unpatriotic to
refer to such matters; but the
truth is that to be patriotic it is
necessary to look for evils that
exist in order to be able to ex-
pose them to public view and OBJ
loquy, in order that they may be
recognized when seen and the
proper remedy applied. Every
good citizen is ready to claim that
we have the best country and the
best form of government under
the sun, but republics, empires
and dynasties have failed in the
past because the citizens grew
careless, public officials became
corrupt and the public conscience
slept until wrong was on the
throne and anarchy followed.

The scenery displayed in the
presentation of Z. j. Carpenters
production of "Quo Vadis' con-
sists principally of the Peristyle
in the House of Petronius, the
Statue Scene. the Garden of Aulus
Platius, Nero's Palace Rome, in
terror of the Marmertine Prison,
the Coliseum, the Roman Amphi-
theatre and Arena; the Burning
and Destruction of Rome, the
Death of Nero, the Sign Of the
Cross and the Dawn of Christian
ity. While the theme of the play
deals principally with a somber
subject, the wit of Petronius and
Chilo, the Greek philosopher, to-
gether with the overweening van
ity of Nero, cause much amuse-
ment. This remarkable play will
be seen at Sandoz Opera House
Saturday, Feb. %, and a packed
house is reasonably expected.

the visit of Germany's model
cruiser, the "Vineta," said to be
the most formidable engine of
war ever in that port, and of the
Norwegian training ship, "Ellida. i"
The papers have been filled for
several days with descriptions of
their officers and crews, the nu-
merous receptions rendered them,
etc. It was an Opelousas boy,
Lieut.. Fritz L. Sandoz, L. S. n,
who had the honor of represent
ing the National government in
the ceremonies attending the re-
ceptien of the distinguished rep
resentatives of Kaiser Wilhelm's
navy. The Picayune of January
26th says:
"Lieutenant f. L. Sandoz, U.
S. N, in charge of the United
States branch photographic Of
fee, made formal call, accom-
panied by Colonel Arsene Per-
rilliat, of Governor Herds staff,
on the commander and officers
of the German cruiser Vineta yes
terday morning. To Commander
J.R. Selfridge, chief of the eighth
lighthouse district, had been del
egated, by the U. S. navy depart
ment, the pleasing duty of well
coming the German warship in
the name of the United States
navy, but Commander Selfridge
was taken with the grip Thursday
morning and could not leave his
room. He thereupon requested
Lieutenant Sandoz to extend the
formal and requisite cOurtesies to
the visiting foreign officers, in his
stead. 1t so happened that the
lieutenant was also siezed with
the prevailing aiIment, and only
by sheer force of will could he go
out to fulfill his mission, yester-
day.
"With Colonel PerrilIat, he
boarded one of the tugs at Canal
street landing and was conveyed
to the Vineta. Captain Wallheim,
commander of the warship, re-
ceived the visitors with the utmost
cordiality, and invited them into
his cabin, and sent for his officers,
whom he formally introduced to
Lieut.. Sandoz and Cot. Perrillat.
In the name of the United
States navy department, the lieu
tenant extended most hearty
welcome to the commander and
his staff and crew. Colonel Per-
rillat, on behalf of the governor
of the State of Louisiana, also
proffered the hospitalities of the
city and State.
Captain Wallhelm replied atfa-
bly, and with innate courtesy, that
he was happy to be among the
American people, and especially
to have anchored in the port of
New Orleans, a city whose fame
throughout the world for hospi-
tality and geniality was known
and recognized.
/ IL am delighted with your city
and your people, said Captain
Wallheim. Nowhere have | seen
so much frank and spontaneous
exhibition of coed will and
friendship
50 Lieutenant Sandoz asked
if the Vineta would remain here
some time, and was told that she
would probably have to leave on
the 9Th proximo.
"After further exchange of
civilities, and the partaklng of
refreshments, Lieutenant Sandoz
and Colonel Perrillat took leave
of Captain Wallheim.
