Jackson M. E. Church.

"What the new pastor has a right
to expect of the people," was the
theme of Rev. G. E. Winnings ad-
dress last Sunday evening, at the
Methodist church, in closing the
work of the conference year.
The preachers remarks we're of a
very interesting character, and we're
listened to with evident pleasure by
the congregation. He began by stat
ing that the minister was a man.
There was no double standard for
manhood in the Bible. He placed the
standard high for the minister, but
every layman ought to line up to the
same. Methodism was defined to be
Christianity in earnest,'' and the
pastor had right to expect 60 men
and women OF the jackson Methodist
church to be intensely in earnest. He
alliterated the Pauline spirit of labor,
liberality, loyalty and lave, as the
basis of a successful Methodist
church. Under the head of labor the
speaker said the new pastor had a
right to expect pray ing church, and
a working church. "Half of my con-
gregation, he said, are out listening
to the band concert tonight. He
would rather have them in church,
but God had given them the ear for
music and the heart for melody.
The Methodist church had recently
published new hymnal, and the new
pastor had right to expect them to
open their purses and procure the
new hymnals, so that the music of
the church might be of the highest
class. II the church does not give
men the best music, they will find it
elsewhere. The new pastor had
right to expect their regular attend
ance at church. Upon investigation he
had discovered that larger percent
age of his church members had
attended during the past year, than
any fraternal organization in Jack
son, over a year old. DR.. Van Dyke
had said that "what was needed was
not so much a minister that would
draw, but church that would hold. :"
The preacher finally said that the
new pastor had a right to expect
regular hearers. tHe that hath ears
to hear let him hear. There is
more about hearing than speaking in
the scriptures. The church was not
like theatre, or for entertainment
1t is to be a place for guild
ance. and instruction and the preach
ing of the gospel.

Mining at the Episcopal Church.

The Rev. VIM. Tuson, rector of the
Episcopal church, jackson, has been
taking course of learning not down
in the curriculum of most theological
schools. The church was worry much
in need of loom for a hall which
could be used for social gatherings,
meetings for men, and Sunday school
purposes. 1he funds were not avail
able, so the minister shouldered a
pick and shovel, secured drill and
went to work. AS result of his
labors for the past three months, he
has excavated room "a by 20 feet out
of the solid rock under st. Augustine
church, which is now getting to pre-
sent nice appearance. 1t will be
floored, and furnished and is quite
an improvement for that church.
The walls are covered with cement
and the purpose is to make the new
addition available for a mems club
and other social purposes. The
Rector unearthed several quartz veins
during his digging, but the pay dirt
was not rieh enough to pay for the
work.

SUMNER DOCTORS WANTED
When City Folk Go Into the Country
They Want the Urban
Practitioner.

In all the sections Of our common
country in which the summer boarder
or the summer cottager has struck his
roots and come to be recognized
as factor in the economic life
of the communities in which he aesti-
Yates, the question of medical attend
ance has become burning, says the New
York Times. The country doctor nat
urally assumed that he was to share in
the prosperity of his neighbors and
patients, the agriculturists, who put
their products to the summer sojourner
at from twice to ten times the local mar
ket. Visions of fees of $1.50 per visit, in
stead of his customary rs cents, began
to fit alluringly before his eyes, But he
forgot to allow for the fact that doc
tors as we'll as patients might aestivate.
Not all city doctors go to Europe every
summer. The baser sort go into the
back districts of their own beloved land
as cottagers, and in their villeggiatura
keep one eye open on the main chance.
The urban patient prefers them to the
rural practitioner. We will not under
take to say whether he is right, though
on that point we entertain a decided
opinion. At any rate. the New Yorker,
Bostonian, Philadelphian, in fact be-
trays in his rustication preference for
the urban practitioner. And the coun-
try doctor does not in fact, partake the
benefits of the urban Pactolus which ir-
rigates the rural purveyor of milk, eggs
and livery" Nay, more. The very
country doctors own rural patients in
some cases exhibit a preference for the
treatment of the visiting city practi-
toner. Not in many cases, and not in
any case more than once, seeing that
three visits from fashionable New
York specialist, at city prices, would
suffice to darken with a mortgage any
farm in New Jersey or New Hampshire
But even without this aggravation the
lot of the country doctor in the face
of the annual city influx is hard, harder
than it was before.

Church Scandal Revived

The San Francisco Examiner of
yesterday publishes a three column
article concerning the scandals in
connection with the Jackson M. E.
church, which kept this community
in such terment for year preced-
ing the last Methodist conference.
Last year charges were preferred
against Rev. f. A. Morrow former
pastor OF Jackson church. In the
presence of these charges the rev.
gentleman resigned from the ministry,
and in this way an official investiga-
tion was avoided. Mr.. Morrow and
family have resided in jackson the
past year. Last week the ex-pastor
and Mrs. Morrow went to San Fran
cisco, and it was soon rumored that
it was his intention to revive the
alleged scandals before the forthcom-
ing conference at Pacific Grove.
He has prepared printed document
of some 10 pages, presenting his side
of the story, and from this the Exam
iner publishes copious extracts of
sensational nature. Some of things
contained therein will be new to most
of the people of this town; most of
the published report however is a re-
hash of matters pretty thoroughly
talked over hereabouts. People 8
minds here are made up one side or
the other, and the revival of the
trouble in not likely to change opin-
ions already formed.
1t is intimated that the Rev. Nor
row sent back his credentials to the
conference authorities last year, and
the same we're returned to him with
the official endorsement "honorably
dismissed. )" He says he is now called
upon to permanently surrender these
credentials. He therefore asks for
another chance to vindicate his
character, and place the responsible
ity for the anonymous letters else
| where. lie claims to be a prosecuted
man, and wants the conference now
to do the very thing he shrank from
having done last year, namely, have
an official trial. 1t is improbable that
conference will reopen the matter, as
the ex-clergyman is no longer Off
cially connected with the ministry as
far as the conference is concerned.

THE DOVE OF PEACE.

Mainly through the intercession of
have agreed to sheath the sword, and
live as peaceble neighbors in the
Orient. The blessedness that belongs
to the peacemaker is due to the head
of the United States. Had he not
profered his services to the warning
nations, there is no doubt the terrible
slaughter would have continued for
months, if not years, longer. The
magnanImity of Japan, the victorious
nation in arms, in concluding treaty
of peace on the terms finally agreed
upon is a matter of astonishment to
the civilized world. Never in the
history of the world has a conquering
nation been so generous in making a
compact of peace. This generosity is
interpreted by some as a sign of prac-
tical exhaustion on the part of the
doughty little islanders to prosecute
the war successfully any longer. We
do not believe this theory for a mo-
ment. We believe that Japan's ability
from financial and material stand
point to continue the struggle is
greater to-day than that of Russia.
Russia has more population to draw
from, it is true, but the warlike pat
rlotic spirit is absent; whereas it is
conspicuous feature of the Japanese
soldier, and indeed of all classes in
the island empire. And that spirit
counts for more in the hour of battle
than a mere show of numerical
strength. Furthermore, it is probable
that Russia was playing her usual
game of diplomatic blutting at Ports
mouth, and that in spite of all profess
sions to the contrary, she would have
yielded to the demand for indemnity
if Japan had insisted upon it to the
verge of breaking off negotiations.
But after all, it seems little more
than patched up truce-a suspension
of hostilities fol an indefinite period.
The terms of peace are satisfactory to
neither side. In Japan the terms are
held back, because of the hostility of
the people to some of the provisions
of the treaty-particularly the waving
of indemnity and the surrender of one
half of the island of Sagahalien. Rus
sia, on the other hand, is humiliated
as she has never been humiliated be-
fore. Her national pride has been
wounded to the quick. She has been
placed before the world as suppliant
power hitherto unreckoned with in
the councils of civilized nations.
This is especially CALLING to a people
who for generations have hugged the
delusion of world conquest and shaped
their policy in accordance Herewith.
And Russia will now cling to the idea
OF some day wiping out the disgrace
that has been heaped upon her. Ma
tions are actuated by the same mo-
tives as individuals. In the interval
of peace she will prepare for another
struggle with her late adversary.
This will force Japan to state of pre-
paredness also. So while peace hovers
over the plains of Manchuria the
scene of the bloodiest war of modern
times-the combatants will glare at
each other from across their frontiers,
ready to spring again at each other
throats when the opportune moment
is deemed to have arrived.

on incorporation was held, the county
cannot collect license within an
Incorporated town. 1t will therefore
entail upon the business interests no
additional burden on that score. True,
the municipal license tax may be
heavier or lighter than the present
county license, as the municipal
authorities may elect. Then again,
the payment of road property and poll
taxes will be Topped off; these will
go for the support of the town govern
ment, instead of the county organiza-
tion. With these two sources of
revenue the government of jackson as
an incorporated town ought to be
very we'll sustained, with the addition
perhaps of low tax rate Tor general
purposes. II is high time that Jack

not directly identified with our inter

Our streets need looking after. The
money we contribute annually for

for our own streets, ought to work a
wonderful change for the better in
the course of a few years, without any

sanitary conditions-sewera burial
grounds, and other matters, demand
immediate attention. Appeals have
been made in vain to the supervisors
on both these propositions. They are

zens, although they may be looked
upon as of little moment to those who
