WHAT CHURCH STANDS FOR
Its Right TO the Cooperation Of All
Good PeOnIe,

The Rev. F. A. Lawson of Blue
Earth City spoke Friday evening at the
Centenary NJ. E. church on the pro-
position that the Christian church
has right to expect the CO operation
and sympathy of all good people in its
great work. = He said, in substance
The Christian church stands for GER
tain principles. If those principles are
right, the church has right to expect
the cooperation of all people. If they
are wrong, the church does not de-
serve such cooper alton. The first
claim that make for the Christian
church is that it stands for truth. It
equips its schools and says to it's pro-
fessors bling us the results of your re-
searches, and we will accept the
truth. It says to the archeologist, dig
up the ancient cities, disclpher the
hieroglyphics found on wall, tablet,
of papyrus, and compare with sacred
writ, and we will accept the truth.
Second. The church stands for edu-
cation. Of the 4S0 colleges and uni
versities of America, $50 were found
ed or are controlled by some branch of
the Christian church. OF the total
number of the students. two thirds
are registered in such institutions.
Harvard, the first American college,
was founded by the church.
Third. The Christian church stands fol-
philanthropy. The heather leave their
aged and sick to die uncared for. The
Christian church builds hospitals for
the sick, orphanages for bereaved
children, and homes for the aged
Fourth. The Christian church
stands for morality. To Mohamme-
dams. religion is one thing, morality
another. To the Christian church,
they cannot be divorced The Chris
tian church was the primary agent in
the destruction of slavery. For purity
of government, the church is the ma
tion's greatest power Fifth. The
Christian church stands for civiliza-
tion. The growth of the church
makes the growth of civilization in
the modern and best type. The in
fiuence of the church upon civilization
is best seen in it's missionary work
Within fifty years the Fijans have
been civilized and Christianized and
Africa permeated with the leaven of
Christianity
Sixth. Lastly, the Christian
church stands for worship Man is
a spiritual being, and will wor-
ship. 1t comes to all men gospel of
forgiveness, of adoption, regeneration
and assurance It points not to burn
ing incense, not to instruments of tor
ture, not to affairs of sacrifice, but to
the crucifxion of Christ whose
'bIood- soaked cross is the altar of an
infinite sacrifice, and whose empty
tomb is the symbol of an undying
hope to the death smitten SONS of men
An institution standing for such
principles and exerting such infu-
ences for the uplifting of the human
race has right to expect the co-opera-
tion and sympathy of all good people.

that We'll take it for a couple of years" ("

An Oddify of Lost Caste.

1t is not necessary to go to India to
hear curious stories of caste. In pro-
fesa'onal mans household recently q
maLlservani fell i'll of diphtheria. Her
mistress nursed her herself through a
tedious illness until she was quite well.
When that happy result was establish
ed the maid Immediately informed the
mistress that she intended to leave her
service. The reason of the maids de-
parture was this-'I could not live with
Il mistress who has been waiting on
me herself" Quite evidently this is not
mere Indifference to kindness or in
gratitude. The girl was the slave of
that mysterious influence of caste
which splits up into minute sections
every modern society, as it split up ey-
cry ancient society, and seems likely to
split up any future society that it is
possible to agine.--London Saturday

One Lawyers Exorbitant Fee-How
Much the Tesfator Left.
A lawyer of some distinction, who be
gan practice in a small New England
town, says his first client required a
deed covering certain parcels of land
sold to neighbor. The deed was drawn
In due form, and after its execution the
client demanded his bill. 1t was 81.
This amount was objected to as a most
exorbitant sum for the service rem

Il told him." says the lawyer, ''that

two years In the Lancaster Academy,
and this cost me $500; then went four
years in Dartmouth College, which cost

year at cost of $500.

From the same source comes the
story of lawyer who was said In his
day to have drawn more wills than any
one else in his county. Upon the death
of respected citizen there was much
speculation as to the value of his prop
erty. The village gossip undertook to
find out the facts. Calling upon Mr..
Heywood-the lawyer referred to-he
remarked:
well, 1 suppose you made Mr.
Blanks willF'
"Yes," was the answer.
"Well, then," continued the gossip,
according to the New York Times, "you

"Oh, no. said Mr.. Haywood, In his
slow way. "He left every cent he had" "

Winter turned to go down, he came
forward and tried to detain her
"Ellen," he said, holding out plead
Ing hand, Il want to explain"
But Miss Winter did not halt for an
instant. She went on down the stairs
and kept ON her conversation with Miss
Reynolds.
Explanations of any kind are worse
than useless" she was saying to the
girl. Il always think one had better
see for himself and make bis own de
cisions accordingly. And there Is SC
much about house-and about other
things-that 1t is simply impossible to
explain
The lease was drawn up and signed
and Miss Reynolds said as the couple
left the Office: Were much obliged to
you, Miss Winter, I'm sure, and you
must send your bill to Mr.. Edwards"
The bill was promptly made out, but
1t was sent to Miss Reynolds instead OF
to Tom Edwards. The bill was receipt
ed, and with 1t went little note:
Miss Winter presents her compli
ments and asks Miss Reynolds to &C

A TALE OF TWO CITIES.

Nogales Is a Place Where One MusS
Be Circumspect.
Some peculiar conditions prevail at
the cities of Nogales, Mexico, and
Nogales, Ariz.," said the traveller who
recently returned from a visit to Mexico.
1.-THE international boundary line is
formed by street that divides the two
towns, and the boundary stones are
set out with very nice regard for
technicalitles. There is saloon there
which has more than local reputation,
and the proprietor is certainly an en-
terprising individual. His saloon is To-
Gated on the street that divides the two
countries, and at point where the di-
yiding line is not clearly defined. The
patron of this saloon buys his drink In
America, and, stepping across the hall,
he buys his cigar In Mexico. In this
way the proprietor avoids the duty on
imported cigars, and can provide his
customers with the best make at lower
prices than most Of his competitors.
''They tell an amusing story about an
American who imbibed too much fight
ing whiskey at this saloon. When he
arrived at a certain stage he allowed
his prejudices to get the better of him,
and, standing near the boundary line of
his own country, he heaped anathemas
and hurled defiances at the people ac-
ross the border. A couple Of Mexican
officers stood across the street, almost
within reach OF the pugnacious Ameri-
can, hoping that he would stroll across
into Mexico. He did get over there
after a while, although the trip was
wholly unpremeditated. During a ha-
rangue against Mexican institutions In
general and the police In particular, he
happened to lurch too far over to star
board and fell into Mexico. The alert
cops promptly grabbed him, and,
though he didn't get a.chance to take In
the sights, he paid quite an extended
visit to the country he had so eloquent
" maligned."
