ed in new clothes was found on the Balti-
more and Ohio tracks near the Evitts creek

Mr.. Rogers says that I would not trust
the ten commandments for ten days with

would surely break some OF them and bend
others. I surely would not. / hope that
these commandments are In stronger power
than the deacons of any church. a power
in which they will not be- twisted for the
benefit of Mr.. Rogers or any one else.
Mr.. Rogers says that until Mr.. Lincoln's
emancipation proclamation slavery was
legal in certain sections But 1t was just
as much an abomination and curse in
those regions as in the regions where IT
was abolished. Mr.. Lincoln did not touch
II there because he had no power. The res
bates of the Standard Oil Company were
Just as outrageous before the law was
passed forbidding them as they were after

law, the Standard On Company is now
overpowering and depressing it's competi

The position that wrongdoing is to be
condoned so long as 1t is done under cover
OF laws or by evasion of the law is one
that Christian ministers or missionary So
cletles ought not to take
Dr. Washington GLADDEN., although mod
orator OF the national council of the Con-
gregational churches and a leader in his
denomination, was not appraised of the
Rockefeller gift until the matter was made
pubic The officials of the church, he
says, had an opportunity to tell him all
ABOUT 1t ten days before the gift was made
but they did not He is inclined to think
