Lacrosse, Wis March 4 -Captair
Hobson, hero of the Merrimac, wai
refused permission to day to talk &c
the pretty eco eds" and boys OF the
high school. Those near the ones
who refused him that opportunity
state it is on account OF bis kissing
reputation.
Prof. Hemmenway, the principal,
said in an interview that the reason
was that he did not like the early
reputation gained by the naval hero
when he first came before the public
and that he did not think the public
approved Of it Captain Hobson
said he would like to talk to the high
school pupils. Mr.. Burke, leading
citizen, and chairman OF the com.
mittee under which Captain Hobson
was brought here to lecture last
night, volunteered TO see Prof.
Hemmenway, the principal. He did
so with the result stated.

This question was addressed to
Mr.. Denys, who, with Mrs. Stanford,

"PEACE ON EARTH. -

Had the shepherds in the country Of
Bethlehem who heard multitude Of
the heavenly host praising God and
saying, "Glory to God in the highest
and on earth, peace, good will toward
men," supposed that message meant
immediate peace, and peace eveIlast-
ing, they would have been ignorant
indeed of the prophecies of scripture.
Less than hundred years after this
great event, the city Of Jerusalem not
far distant, had outside its walls
hundreds Of thousands of dead, many
Of them rotting and unburied, and
inside its walls, war, murder, famine,
and horrors greater than ever before
known on earth. With Titus and the
Roman army on the outside, and with
robbers and murderers within, there
was no peace. The Jews were reap
ing what they had sown Wars have
followed wars, and we are not free
from wars on earth even now.
Christ is truthfully spoken of as
"the Prince of Peace and He will
establish peace eternal, after He has
put into effect this prophecy: "The
wicked shall be turned into hell, and
all the nations that forget Cod"
Again it is written, "And these shall
60 away into eternal punishment, but
the righteous into eternal life. !"
(R. v.)
A simple illustration may suffice to
explain: when q rattlesnake is in
mans house where his family lives,
it is not time for peace, but a time
for war. There will be plenty of
time for peace after the snake is dead,
entirely dead-not before.
God and Satan are enemies. They
hate each other: Good and evil are
contrary to each other. While both
good and evil are in this world to-
gether, there cannot be eternal peace.
There can not be perfect harmony
between two nations when one is
faithfully serving the Devil, and the
other trying to follow Christ.
1t is no time for peace even in one
nation when traitors are secretly and
stealthily at work.
1t is mistake to dream of estab-
fishing universal peace with wicked
nations, when there are prophecies in
the Scriptures, not yet fulfilled, show
ing that terrible war will precede the
final restoration of the Jews to the
land of Canaan. Jerusalem and their
old country is yet to be theirs.

Wisconsin newspapers are all seni

Wisconsin newspapers are all send
ing out 28-page supplements. Under
new statute, the laws enacted at
each session of the Legislature are
published in every paper in the state
whose publisher is willing to perform
that service for 500. Few decline,
and thus there goes a copy Of the
session laws into nearly every home.
The Wisconsin plan certainly makes
ignorance of the law as inexcusable
morally as legally.
