OSTROM SERVICES CLOSED.

Rev. III. Ostrom gave his closing
address Sunday night. He and the
singing evangelist, Mr.. Hills, have
labored among us for two weeks
and these two weeks have been pro
ductive of much good, for many
souls have learned to know God.
The songs of Mr.. Hills have kin
died new hope in the hearts of the
weary and have added an inspira-
ton to the hopes of the young.
Rev. Ostrom is unequaled by any
pulpit orator, who has ever come to
Plymouth. His addresses have not
been passionate appeals to the emo
tiors, but they have been powerful
appeals to the intellect. Not once
has he tried to persuade men by
frightening them with picturing the
horrors of the next life which man
would suffer if he did not become a
christian; but always his sermons
have been full of the love and right
eousness of God. Emphasis has
been laid upon the necessity of Civ
ing ones life to Christ not alone
for the hope of getting into heaven,
but in order to make this life glori-
Gus. For if one lives a righteous
life in this world, he need have no
fear of not entering heaven.
The evangelist's method of pre-
senting the gospel has been consis-
tent with the teachings of Christ.
He cannot be accused of being IRA
tional in his statements, nor illogical
in his conclusions for in all his
talks great stress was laid upon
making clear, forceful statements
and then in drawing logical deduc-
tons He convinced men of the
errors of their lives and of the evil
consequences of SIN by stating facts.
He made no radical statements
without substantiating them with
incontrovertible evidence. His
seemingly inexhaustible supply of
vivid illustrations did much toward
clinching in the hearts of his hearers
the truths which he had established
by logical course of reasoning.
His arguments for knowing there
is God, and also for having a con-
seriousness of his ever abiding pres
ence, were powerful. His appeals
to the heart and reason of man were
50 wonderfully filled with the
boundless love of Christ, that his
hearers were made to realize, as
they never realized before, that
Christ died to save them. Chris
tianity was shown to be a process
of refinement. Man was made 70
feel that he is great creature,
capable of wonderful victories, if he
were only willing to trust to God to
make him great. The loving words
of the evangelist awakened the
hopes, uplifted the ideals and
aroused the latent energies of all
who heard him, for he brought to
his hearers the realization of the
marvellous possibilities of human
soul.

non attendants At our several churches
4 year or two ago one of the progress
sive ministers submitted series of
questions on the point and read the
answers without the names of the
party answering, and the cOnse nsus ~
opinion seemed to be the lack of that
quality III the pulpit to interest the
average non attendant, who wanted
practical religion in the sermon OF
lecture instead of dOgmatlc Or theOlOg-
zeal discussion. There seemeI to oe a
trend Of opinion that our weekly ser
mons did not rise to the point of in
strnctlve quality on the practical side
of life that made ii worth while to at
tend, when the sunday papers OF the
great cities sbounded in that very
quality that was lacking in the sermon.
Get nearer the practical aud unitarian
side of life, was the cry and your
churches will be filled. Throw dogma,
creed and dissensiOn TO the winds teach
charity for all and malice toward
none" and your congregations will be
come larger and better and will do
more for hum lnity.

Divorces while you wait. The di-
vOrce grind in the courts of Indiana is
or and in every county the dOckets
predominant in domestic cases. The
subject is old and no new thing can be
said for or against the essy granting
of divorces, but the best argument yet
devised to prevent divorce is to make
marriage hsrder-make each party to
the contract pass the test of board of
examiners as to health, ability to sup
port aud maintain families, and with
moral conditions and environment.
Colusion TO obtain divorces ought to
be made impossible by strict investl-
eating into the merits OF each case.
So long as divorces are granted on the
payment of nominal cost and for tri-
vial otfenses, just so long the sacred
ness of the home and marriage relation
will be regarded lightly, and just In
proportion as they are made harder to
obtain, inst so will the plighted trash
assume higher, nObler and better
aspect. *

EXILE FOR THE MALCONTENTS
Finnish Senate Receives a Severe Re-

Much Displeased.
(By Associated Press.)

Helsngfors, Sept. 1.-THE Finnish SEN
ate has received a severe rebuff from the
car by the PRONUNCIATION OF the new
military service law.
The senate addressed memorandum
to his majesty soliciting an assurance or
the maintenance of the political institu-
tions of Finland.
The cars reply says he does not find
the present occasion a suitable one for
new assurances as to the maintenance In
the future local institutions
AS to the cars good intentions his
faithful subjects should not be in doubt.
Disquieting apprehensions disseminated
by evil minded people must be repressed
by administrative measures. J /.
These measures are understood to be

convenient persons. The victims Will
probably Include four senators who voted
against the military service law ana ~
Lutheran clergymen who refused to read
the law from the pulpits, according 10

San Francisco, Sept. lin let
ter that was carried by native
countries distance of over 1000
miles across the wilderness of the north
from the mouth of the Mackenzie river
to Edmonton. and thence by rail to this
city. the first news received this year
from the whalers who wintered in the
Arctic ocean is at hand.
The letter was written by Captain H.
E. Huffman. of the schooner Penelope.
The whaling vessels that wintered in the
Arctic We're the steamer Narwahl. Be
luga and BoWllead and the schooner PEN
elope.
The last previous information from
any of these vessels was received last
fall, the vessels having been spoken in
August of last year. At that time the
Narwahl had three whales; the Bow
head one: the Beluea one-half Of whale
and the Penelope none.
The letter just received reports that on
April 1 last the Nnrwahl's total catch
was five whales. the Bowhead five, the
Beluga seven and half and the Pencil
ope none.
1t is probable that the Beluga and Mar
wahl will come out this year. but moth
ing is certain about the Penelope, which
is trading in the Arctic.
The schooner Sophie Sutherland. Cap

ESCAPED The MOOSE
SYMPATHETIC JURY BRINGS IN
COMPROMISE VERDICT.
BROWN MURDER CASE ENDED
Verdict of Murder in the Second De-
gree Brought in Late Last
Night-Incidents Of
tie Trial.

The Brown murder trial. which be-
gan in Judge McClernan's department
of the district court last Tuesday morn
ing, came to an end at 1850 O'Clock last
night. At that hour the jury in the
case brought in a verdict of guilty of
murder in the second degree against the
defendant, w. w. Brown.
Brown was put on trial for his life
for the murder of his wife on the 18th
of last June. On the date named he
cut his wife's throat from ear to ear
nearly severely her head from her body
The lethal weapon which he used in
butchering his wife severed every bit of
her neck except the backbone ael the
mark Of the keen steel was upon that.
TIL killing took place at the home of
the Browns at 1856 South Wyoming street.
on the morning of the June day referred
to, shortly after Mrs. Brown arose from
bed. 1t was committed in the bedroom
occupied by Brown and his wife. and
was not witnessed by any one, the couple
being alone. However, conclusive net
work of circumstantial evidence fixed
the crime upon Brown. and a verdict
of murder in the first degree was ex-
pected by many. as the crime bore every
horrifying mark of brutal deliberation
and cruelty.
Brown was arrested as he knelt at the
eide Of his wife. who staggered from the
bedroom and fell and died on a sofa in
the dining room of the Brown residence
after her throat was cut. He had cut
his own throat specifically in an at
tempt to commit suicide, which he lacked
the courage to consummate after he had
felt the cold steel, but his wounds soon
healed after his arrest
Brown was incarcerated in the county
jail and an information was filed against
him. and he was brought to trial as
above stated. The trial was slow in get
ting started, it being difficult to get
jury. and the taking of evidence occu-
pied about four days. Brown sought to
make it appear that his Wife commit
ted suicide, making that his defense.
The case went to the jury last even
Ing at o'clock. after the presentat ton
of argument, which lasted all of yester-
day afternoon.
The court will pass sentence upon
Brown next Friday morning. In view of
the Nervousness of the crime much in
terest is felt in the sentence which will
be imposed upon the defendant
