finally be busted or get run
down like Alphonse and Gas

safeguard to have about ones

them come in late, after the services be gin
just like Gentiles do. They talk and laugh
in church before and after services, just like
other people. badly dressed Jew is as
much out of place in the synagogue as a
poorly clad Christian is in one of our city
churches. The most refreshing difference
that note is, that while in our churches
it is impossible for the congregation to dis
tinguish the words of the solo, which is
usually sung in an unknown tongue, the
Jew solo is hymn which is announced
and book is furnished each worshipper,
thereby enabling the congregation to know
what is being sung. l like this. When
attending the Gentle churches l always
try to go too late to hear the solo. l feel
like stranger in strange land while the
solo proceedings are being performed.
As am 10 somewhat of religious or
irreligious frame of mind today, will say
further, that something is wrong some
where in spiritual matters. Great crowds
Of people may throng the churches and
great sermons may be preached and great
sums may be contributed to missionary
and benevolent causes, and not only in
spite of these things but because of them,
| personal vital goodness may wane. Preach.
ing, church.going and contributions are
too often regarded as an end rather than a
means. Doubtless thousands of people
feel that they have discharged their obliga-
tions to God and man when they attend
church on Sunday. Others send their
check and feel that they are doing their
whole duty. Worshiping God and serv.
ing humanity by machinery seems to be
the tendency Of our age. The gathering Of
the saints ls only intended to prepare them
for the Lords work. The sending of your
check cannot relieve you from working for
God and humanity six days in week.

neglect ofndivldual every lay minstering.

things? J. n. HARTMAN.

Not George Washlnston's Ratchet.

Richmond, Va, April ia little
Ratchet of peculiar shape was found last
wetk in a ceiling of the old Colonial man.
sion in Fredericksburg, known as the
Mary Washington house. This house was
occupied by Mary, the mother of George
gashIHprofi, during the Revolutionary
Gar and during the term of Washingtons
Presidency. it has recently been convert.
ed into hospital and in preparing to
make an addition to it ceiling was re.
moved and the little Ratchet was found.
The fact that Washington was grown
man before bis mother purchased this
house seems to spoil any connection be-
tween this weapon and the cherry tree
but this discrepancy was not sufficient to
haven't much speculation whether this
hit be the original Ratchet. The tool
probably left by the workmen who
built the house many generations ago. As
a relic of that day it is interesting, but
doubly valuable becsuse of its ASSOCIATION
and the sly wish that this might be the
real Ratchet of school reader romance.

Some of the best lawyers in the Senate are
going to contend for sending the case back
to the House on technicalties as to the
method of procedure. Campbell's friends
in the Senate insist that we cannot vote on
his removal till we have heard the evil
dence. They say We cannot legally con-
slider the evidence that was taken before
House committee, although volume con.
tanning it is on each Senator's desk. Thus
all sorts of bubbles are being resorted to
in order to delay and defeat removal.
am of opinion, however, that he will be
removed in spite of these obstructionists.
Nothing has yet been done as to the
selection of constables and magistrates.
Several bills are pending on the subject,
but nothing has yet been decided as to
these matters.
