that the judgment. Neighbors, l
would feel that | had not done my
duty towards you and my Master
did / not point you to Him who
hath entered the tomb before us,
and taken therefrom the stern as
perities Of death. He hath con-
quered the grave, and arisen in
newness Of life. BE has set the
pace for us, and / trust that each
Neighbor will live every day at
his best, so that when the dread
summons shall come he shall not
go as the galley slave, but wrap
around himself the robe of Christ's
righteousness and lie down to
pleasant dreams.
When life's ftful scenes are
over, may we be remembered as
we are now bestowing tokens of
love; may we guard well the sa-
cred trust, and see to it that
Mortals yet unborn shall stand.
Beside the lowly grave.
Nor let his goodness be forgot
While time its record keeps;
But, Neighbors, guard this sacred
spot
Where the Modern Woodman
sleeps"

Looking for Permanent

Mexico.

The Riverside Scripture Insti-
tute held an interesting meeting in

tute is looking for permanent

E. Truck, of Mexico; THE Holy
Spirit" by Rev. NJ. L. Thomas,

tion," by E. W. Stephens, of
Columbia; "Missions(in John)"

Charles THE Ordinances" by
Rev. j. d. Watson, of Montgom-
eryi The Lamb of God Which

cred as follows: Interpretation, {"

way county.
The members of the institute en-
gagged in discussions of the various
papers and the exercises were
highly interesting and profitable.
A committee consisting of w.
Pope Yeaman, E. w. Stephens
and r. S. Duncan was appointed
to visit the Central Theological
Institute, " a similar organization
in northwest Missouri, with the
view If securing a combined meet
ing of the two institutes at Col
at some early date.
1t is probable that an effort will
be made to secure Columbia as the
permanent headquarters of one or
both Of these Institutions,
Dr. w. Pope Yeaman has ten
dered his entire library valued at
S., 500 to the institute il it will
secure a permanent place of meet
ing.

height of $4,000 feet at 1854, when
we were ascending 1000 feet per min

The Committee on Law Reporting
and Digesting reported a resolution
that in the opinion of the association,
it is important that the rapid increase
in the number and volume of report
ed cases in the United States should
be checked. That it is not desirable
that opinions should be published
which discuss merely questions of fact,
or which reaffirm without modification
some obviously well settled principles
of law"
The resolution was lost by a decid-
ed vote.
The report of the Committee on Pat
ent, Trade Mark and Copyright Law
recommended the establishment of a
court of patent appeals by Congress for
the determination of patent, trade mark
and copyright cases, having jurisdiction
of all appeals and writs of error in
those cases. its decisions to be final,
subject only to such power of review
by the Supreme Court as shall be nee
essary to preserve the jurisdiction vest
ed in that court by the constitution.
The proposition Occasioned considera-
BILE debate.
After a debate of more than an hour

the committee recommending the es
Enlistment of The patents court, with
an amendment that the subject of
trade marks be eliminated from the
proposed jurisdiction of the proposed
court. The officers nominated were
