NEED OF REVEALS.

Though in theory substantially all
Protestant churches accept the funda-
mental postulates of Wesleyan theolo-
gy and attempt to act in accordance
with that theology by their missionary
endeavors, there is, we are persuad-
ed" says the New York Outlook, "a
great need of new revival of the
spirit of what might be called either
Wesleyanism or primitive Christian
ity The churches Of to-day are too
much mere worshipping assemblies.
They devote too large proportion o.
their energies and their income %
promoting the enjoyment Of the Chris
tian life by those who already possess
it, and too little to imparting that
Christian life to those who do not pos
sess it. The cathedral-like church,
the welI-organized choir, the well-paid
orator, all minister to the spiritual
luxury and perhaps to the spiritual de-
velopment of the elect and cultivated
few. They do little to carry the mes.

needs to study afresh the methods,
and still more the life. of the print

Grants, and the Puritan revivalists.
We do not, indeed, urge the re-employ-
ment of their methods. 1t is not at
all probable that street and field
preaching would accomplish in this
century in Aemrica what it accom-

a revival Of their spirit is the greatest

cUMMINs AND HIS IDEA.

Chicago Inter Ocean: Governor
Cummins of Iowa was renominated on
Wednesday by the republican conven-
tion of his state under unusual circum-
stances. He was named by acclama-
ton on a platform opposed to his
views on tariff revision. He was de-
feated on an issue raised by himself
and was given a unanimous nominal
tion through concessions on the part
of republicans whose wishes he had
disregarded.
Govern Cummins accepted the sit
uation frankly. True, he declared his
intention TO hold fast TO his own views
on the tariff. with the purpose Of con
verting the republican, party to his
way of thinking. But his unreserved
acceptance Of the platform eliminates
the Cummins idea from this campaign
and shuts it out of Towa's presidential
campaign in 1904.
Mr.. Cummins tried an ambitious ex-
pertinent and failed. Two years ago
and year ago he made point Of dis
regarding the advice OF republican
leaders in HIS own state and OF leaders
In other states. For two years he en-
deavored to force his personal views
on the party seemingly without regard
to the success or defeat OF the presi-
Dental ticket in 1904.
He seemed to believe that Cummins

SULLIVAN,

Burlington Hawkeye: However
much our democratic contemporaries
are disappointed because Governor
Cumn1ins gave up the shelter plank
in his draft for the platform, they
ought to be fair enough not to mis-
represent his present attitude. The
Davenport Democrat is guilty Of the
following:
When called upon by the conven

accept the nomination on platform

Cummins stated: There is room for

What authority has the Davenport
Democrat to state that Governor Cum

A HOUSE OF ISRAEL.

A brand new religion is bidding for
popular favor under the striking name
of "The new and latter house of Is
rael." 1t has comfort for the sinners
because it"believes in the larger hope
in universal restoration, denies the
doctrine Of eternal torment, and states
that the impenitent also will ente~ in
to glory at the end of the millennium
when they have suffered for their
sins. It is maintained that the Elk
tracts from the Flying Rolf treat fully
the objections to the hope of univer-
sal salvation, and that the Lord could
not be just If He were to allow any
of His creatures to suffer eternally as
the result OF the sins of this short life.
time"
Another popular feature of the new
doctrine will be found in the fact that
'tthis is not a scheme for the accumu-
lation of money No collections are
taken up at any of the public meet
ings; the work is supported by those
who believe in it, and carried on as a
labor of love-" ...
The religion is cheap, too, accord
ing to our circular Of information:

was essentian to republican success
in Iowa and to ignore the fact that re-
publican success was essential to
Cummins,
To most men it was plain that HIS
pet idea in politics was entirely re-
mote from the current trend Of public
thought It was clear hat men inter
ested In live Issues cared nothing for
it--that they regarded Governor Cum
Minis attempt to drag a specific tariff
issue into a state campaign as hardly
less inopportnne than Hancock's refer
ence TO the tariff as local issue in
1880.
Politicians OF both parties felt that
the situation in Iowa could not be pro-
longed without injury to republican
prospects In 1904. Public interest in
the Iowa convention conferred on the
steps that would BIO adopted to relieve
the situation. These steps we're well
taken The Cnmmins idea was LED
out by the horns, and Iowa swept into
line in harmony with the president
and the national republican platform.

and he had the courage and the frank.
ness to accept and endorse every word
of it. That is more than his democrat
opponent can truthfully do with the
democratic platform which he did not
construct and which contains politi-
cal doctrines which he has not OF late
years supported or endorsed. Govern
or Cummins will have the advantage
this year of championing declaration
of principles which he helped to col
laborate and which he unreservedly
endorsed. H.. ...
Mr.. Sullivan will be put to the dis
advantage OF giving his adhesion to a
set Of principles some OF which he has
hitherto antagonized and others which
heat least, has not advocated. This
disadvantage will be made quite APP
parent when the canvass opens Gov
ernor Cummins has the material and
the oratorical ability to make the stu
alton particularly embarrassing for
his democratic competitor.

-Tbe use Of counting machines t,

The use of counting machines to
keep the tally of the vote at the re
cent state convention has attracted
some comment throughout the state.
1t was the idea Of two Des Moines
bankers, Mr.. e. G. Peatral and Mr.. J.
d. Whisenand, the chairman of the
committee on arrangements. 1t was
thought that this would be good year
to try the experiment as there was
only one contest. 1t was suggested
last year but the larger number OF
candidates for clerk Of the supreme
court made it difficult TO secure the
machines and the room for them on
the stage, as it takes machine for
each candidate. So successful was
the experiment this year tha* it is
doubtful If another convention win
consent to get along without them.

HOTTEST ON RECORD.

Months.

To day has been a hot one but July
10, 1901 was hotter. July %, 1901 was
the hottest day on record and July 81,
1901 was second. The highest record
found in looking over the weather re-
ports was 1O71s, recorded for July %,
1901. For the day previous the record
was 107. The whole month of July
1901 as a wholeNwas the hottest month

FOURTH oF July Picnic.
The Day Was Happily Celebrated al
the Henry Butler Home.

----
The Fourth of July is a holiday ON
which everyone from the small child
to the aged one feels d certain amount
Of independence. Al Jolly crowd cele-
brated this national holiday with a pic
mic on Henry Buffers lawn near Leigh
ton It was a reunion Of old friends
and acquaintance and this hospitable
home threw wide open the doors and
extended a hearty welcome.
One of the principal features Of the
day was the dinner. 1t was spread ON
a long table and everything was, to be
seen on this heavily laden board The
picnicers were seated around and en-
treated to partake Of the bounties.
Then the fragments were gathered up,
which was more than twelve baskets
full, and in a short time the consumers,
who already were filed to overfIowing,
were invited to be seated at the de-
sired place and were served to ice
cream and cake. The conversation
was of old familiar times Of past days.
Mrs, Henry Butler, who has been an
Invalid for some time, was unable to
sit at the table with the jolly crowd,
but was helped out on the lawn by
her daughter Barbara and Mrs. Fred
Butler to see how beautiful the table
looked. Although very weak she en-
ioyed the occasion with her old
friends once more.
The home Of Henry Butler is a beau
tiful place, with a large, well kept
lawn surrounding the house and cheer
full flowers to gladden. the hearts of
all.
There were eight families invited
who were not present. but those pres
ent were as follows: Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Butler, Misses, Barbara, Lizzie
and Lena Butler, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Tandy and Miss Pearl, Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred 0swandel, ST., Mr.. Frank Os-
wandel, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Butler and
Miss Mabel, Miss Rebekah Kendig,
Mr.. and Mrs, Joseph Butler and Mas

Master Clarence and Miss Merl, Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. McWilliams and Miss
EHie, Mr. and Mrs. John Vermulen,
Masters Lloyd and Edgar, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Tandy, Misses Ray and Edith.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Oswandel, Jr., and
Master Andrew Mr. and Mrs r, H,

Before the good-hyes were spoken
the song, God Be With You Till We
Meet Again was sung. The singing
Of this song brushed the dust off of the
memory pictures until they could be
wildly seen. AS the singers few
years ago sang together in the church
services at Leighton; now they are
scattered only to meet once in a while.
Then prayers were offered by Mr..
Chas. McWilliams and Mr.. A. Tandy.
Thus the picnic was concluded. Each
babe his and her adieu, feeling that
the day was well spent. TO those
who were not there we can say, they
missed good time. July Fourth Of
1903 will be remembered by this pie

4 DIAGNOSIS OF KENTUCKY,

A DIAGNOSIS or KENTUCKY.
Kentucky's hills are full OF rilIs,
And all the Iills are lined with stills,
And all the stills are full OF gills,
And all tho giIls are full Of thrills,
And all the thrills are fun Of kills.
You sec the feudinsts dot the hills
And camp along the little rflls,
Convenient to the busy stills,
And thirsting for the brimming gills,
And when the juice his system fills,
Each feudist whoops around and kills.
Now. il they'd only stop the stills
They'd cure Kentucly's many Ills
Men would be spared to climb the hills
And operate the busy stills.
However, this would mean more gills
And that, of course, would mean more
thrills,
Resulting in the same old kills.
So all the hills and rills and stills
And all the gills and thrills and kills
Are splendid for the coffin mills
And make more undertaker's bills.
