Methodist Church Jottings.

Wy AAafs Nff 80
The topic for next Sabbath MORN
ing is, "Kuowlng Christ" and for
the evening, "saved From Wrath. "
The week Of PRAYER was all that
could be expected as far as the at
tendance and interest Of the people
were concerned. This is another
proof Of the fraternal feeling and
good will that prevails in the
churches OF Milford. This is right,
and it isa source Of great satisfaction
to those who have the interest Of
the church life at heart. We trust
that as the years come and 60 that
this spirit of unity may grow till it
attains to that perfection, so that
two in name, humanity speaking, we
may be one in spirit and name also,
divinely speaking, since we all be-
long to the church of God, and in
very fact are Christians
The special services that are in
progress will continue another week.
We rejoice in the interest taken and
urge that all who are interested in
spiritual things will work and pray
that we may, under divine guidance,
bring forth fruits unto eternal life
that we may lead the wanderers
into the lifo of the redeemed

Prof. George oakley, of
Paterson, n. J.

We announce with regret, that
Prof. Lomsche has decided to give
up teaching in Port Jervis His
future plans are as yet unsettled,
but it is likely that he will, the
latter part of this month, take a
trip South and West, probably as
far as the Pacific Coast for the bene-
fit Of his health. Mrs. Lomshe will
accompany him on this tour. His
work will be continued by Prof.
Geo. Oakley, an educator of note,
who is and has been for IS years,
president Of Columbia College,
Paterson. N j., and who is also
president Of the National Business
College of Passaic, N. ] For the
present, no radical changes are in
tended the rooms IN the Wyckham
Building, used by Prof. Lomsche,
being retained, and the school will
probably be conducted as a branch
Of Columbia College Paterson, with
a competent teacher in charge. under
the supervision Of Prof Oakley, who
will be in town once a week, as
occasion demands Those who have
met Prof Oakley, say that he is a
very pleasant gentleman. the kind
who make friends wherever they
60, and as ne is said to bear con-
siderable resemblance of Prof. Lom-
sche in stature and features, the
pupils will, no doubt, take very
kindly to him. He arrived in Port
Jervis on the noon train yesterday
/ Thursday, and viii remain the
rest OF the week. Former pupils Of
Prof Lomsche are invited to meet

Certain western members Of con-
gress maintain that it would be uu-
wise to repeal land laws which are
furnishing the money for the irri-
cation fund, even though such laws
be the means of despoiIing the public
domain. This is flimsy reasoning,
when the situation is understood. A
certain class does not want the desert
land law and the homestead commu-
tation clause aud the timber and
stone laws repealed. But If they are
allowed to remain upon the statue
books for half a decade longer, and
the present activity Of the western
land stealers and perjurers continues,
ali the best land which the govern
menl wishes to reclaim with its irri-
cation fund for settlers will have been
