JOTTINGS ABOUT RELIGION AND
PREACHERS.

The leading Methodist organ in New
to condemn sensationalism in the pull
pit. It is better late than never. 1t
has become a great abuse indeed. The
Washington Post, wide-awake always,
notes the same condition, and says this
and with pertinency and exact adapta-
ton to these blatant, erring times. ct
is possible to preach something that
would pass for a Gospel sermon on al
most any subject, but would it not be
better to drop current topics and preach
the Gospel pure and simple? The story
of Christ, the old, old story of Jesus
and His love- has not lost it's interest
nor it's power to the hearts and
purify the lives of the people,"
We note the publication of a new
Baptist book that will interest preach
ers in the evangelical churches in the
south. 1t is THE Life and Letters of
Rev. John A. Broadus, D. D. LII. D. a
Virginian and a preacher of very rare
gifts and a sweet, engaging PERSONAL
ity. 1t is by professor A. T. Robert
son of the Southern Baptist Theolo-
gical Seminary. We are glad to have
known this eminent southern scholar,
theologian and preacher personally
DR.. Broadus was of exceeding simplic-
ity in character as he was in the pulpit,
a most lovable, charming man, pro-
foundry religious and spiritually-mind-
ed. He was educated at University of
Virginia. We recall with much salts
faction that we have known three of the
leading Baptists of the south who have
gone to the blessed home beyond and
who were men of rare abilities-Rev.
DR.. jeremiah Jeter, Rev. DR.. William
NJ. Wingate, n Rev. DR.. John A.
Broadus. They were three noble men
INT most devout followers and ser
wants of the crucifed and risen Lord
and Savior.
1t is a pity that people who refer to
Mary Magdalene as a reformed pros
titute do not study the question. 1t is
a great Islander Of one of the sweet
est and purest of Gods womanhood.
We frequently meet with laundering
references to this good. noble, exalted
believer in the Son of God.
Universities in the south are certain
ly careless of proprieties and indiffer-
ent to consequences when they invite
Rev. DIR. Lyman Abbott to preach be-
fore them. They could as we'll invite
Bob Ingersoll, if he were living, to de-
liver a lecture before them. Recently
a scholarly, gifted southern religious
editor heard Abbott, and while admit
ting the ability manifested said the
theology was not of the Master and
was not orthordox. Abbott is OF
the anxious, able sappers and miners
who only believe the Bible in parts.

have been planted along the Northern

half a million young trees were
planted. The season was unusually dry.,
and about two-ffths of the trees died.
These were replaced this spring, with
cottonwood, ash, boxalder and willows,
and the Indications ire that q flourish

trees this s The weather; is
ESPECIALLY favorable. The trees that
survived last year are putting out Wig

The cottonWoods seem to. be the, best
and hardest growers although the
other trees are thriving. The weather
for the past few weeks has been so
wet that crltivating is difficult The
trees will be valuable as snow protec-
lions for cuts and will as well improve

stood then the place where the crime
was committed was ID Billings county.

taken under It, and the trial Of Trusty
was Illegal, IN that It should have
taken place at Dickinson. to which the

question that comes up in this matter,
and that is, if Trusty should be re-

he been in jeopardy once for the crime.
