 POLICE COURT.-There was bat one case in the police court yesterday af- ternoOn but it was a particularly sad one. It was that of an old man who said he had lived all his lie in New York City and had never been arrested. It almost moved the recorder to tears to think what the old man had missed during all those years and he resolved | if necessary 10 strain a point in his favor and let him get as much re- ward as possible under the law for his first offense, for years are creeping upon him and he may drift back to New York where he will never have a chance to be arrested again. His cline was that of drunkenness and it would appear that drunkenness is no crime in New York for the defendant seemed to be no stranger to intOXiLLnts. He had in his possession whe>> arrested a quart bottle of the real juice and a gallon demijohn of wine. Out here in barbarous Arizona that is considered a pretty good load but the New York police, according to the defendant, are thoroughly civilized and pay TO atten- tion to things Of that kind. The fine was five dollars and it was gleefully paid.

 THE CAIRNS MEETINGS. - On Wednesday afternoon MT. Cairns bible reading was on the second coming of Christ. He said that Chriztiaus diner widely in their views or this subject and each was entitled to his own opin- ion. Some of his best friends differed from him radically. We should reCog- niZe the rights of the other man. Men may differ widely in their views of doe trines not essential to salvation and be good Christians. Christ's second coming Is not at the death of the be- liever. He will come in the body. not in the spirit We will recognize Him as person. He will come not when all the world has been converted. but when all the world has been evange- lized when the gospel has been preach
 
 ing away first. Everywhere today. there are evidences of such a falling away. False doctrine prevails False Christs are many. There is much Of the world in the church. Parents often are without natural affection. He told of the rescue of three children in Lon don, who were being starved in an attic by their unnatural par, nts though they lived in a palatial home where were employed five servants. The people are unwilling to endure sound doctrine. He spoke of goipg 10 hear the noted preachers in Chica{o who gave political or moral essays in- stead of gospel sermons. In closing. he spoke of the promises of his coming. There are 625 passages on Christ's com ing in the New Testament. one verse in every twenty-five has some refer ence to this doctrine.
