With Killing a Servant.

Sioux Falls.-Mrs. Emma Kaufman,
wife of Moses Kaufman, a million
aire brewer of this city, was held
without bail for trial in the State
Circuit Court on the charge Of the
murder of Miss Agnes Polreis, a six
teen-year-old girl. who was employed
by her as a domestic. Mrs. Kauff-
man soon after the conclusion of her
hearing was taken to the county Jail.
Her husband accompanied her to
prison. She had a collapse
in the afternoon.
The proceedings in court occupied
only a few minutes. When Mrs.
Kaufman emerged from court her
carriage, through a misunderstand-
ing, was not at the curb. The crush
became so great and the demeanor Of
the people so threatening that the
party was compelled to seek refuge
in a livery stable across the street.

There are some things like that in the
church, far too serious TO be funny.
Such as going TO the pastor time after
time and asking: is this rightF' is

is that spirit that guideth into all
truth?
What are you doing to advance the
Presbyterian Church, or our name in
His name, by your own Developments
A danger to-day lies in believing in the
wrong or error that may be in our
creeds. Is there anything in them that
ought to be eliminated? 1t is q great
peril to think that all truth is in our
creed and that what is not written
there is wrong. For that stops ad-
vancement and is a check to our pro-
gress in Christ's knowledge and grace
and means declension-loss. Christ
taught the truth and did not formulate
it. The apostles enlarged upon it TO
meet the needs of the growing church;
the early fathers systematized truth
into creeds. And so it went on down
from the time of Constantine 10 the
Renaissance, until WI found the truth,

calm and still. But it will, and when
it does we shall have more truth. not
less. Be sure of that. Our creeds
