Better Hours for Sunday.

The p~ostotfice. hours for Sunday
have never given good satisfaction
to the patrons of the office, owing to
the fact that it was impossible for a
great many people to get down town
Sunday morning to get into the Office
before it closed. usually at 10 AS, and
if one failed then they had to wait
until late In the afternoon. If the
Omaha passenger was thirty minutes
late the mail could not be distribute
ed until after the hour for church
service and the Office was then closed
before people could get way from
church.
The matter Of a change was taken
up with Postmaster Bras Saturday
and the suggestion made that
the Sunday hours might be extended
until at least 1890 O'Clock. MIR. Bras
stated that in view of the new clerk
coming on that he could be placed
in charge OF the Office until u 80 and
the front door could thus be left
open, so that persons having lock
boxes can get their mail until that
time. 1t should be understood. now
ever, that the carriers windows and
the general delivery window will be
closed to the public at the usua.
hours, and this change only affects
the time for leaving the entrance r.
the %uostotlice open longer. The gov
eminent requires that where the
postotfice fixtures do not reach to the
top of the ceiling in a building that
the building must be closed to the
public unless there is a person in
charge, and this is the reason why
the office has been closed so early
Sunday mornings.

true ambassador for God?
ON SUBTLE SIN
DR.. Mead Had Large Congregations
at Presbyterian Church for
Sunday Services.

Standing room was at d premium,
and many could not get in at the
Presbyterian church Sunday evening.
Dir. Mead's subject was 'sSin," not
the coarse, vulgar sins of the body,
against which we build prisons, and
establish courts and police systems.
but the Subtle sins of the disposition
and temperament. BAD dispositions
have caused almost as much misery
in the world as bad whiskey and the
speaker wildly illustrated this from
cases that have come under his
observation.
The speaker evidently has no re-
spect for the type OF religion that
prays like d saint in church and goes
home and acts. like the devil. Re-
llglon is as necessary to live by as to
die by. and the surest way to die
right with God'' is to live right
with Him.
The text from which, the sermon
was preached was John s:44. When
Christ said to the Pnarisees, who
came with a woman taken in the
basest and most groveling physical
sin, and asked Christ what he would
40 with her. He asked as to their
law, and they said, she should be
stoned. Very we'll, said Christ, let
him that is without sin cast the first
stone. They went out Christ said
to the woman, $50 and sin no
more" He did not stone her. He
showed her her degradation, and
gave her a new chance. That is al
ways the way with Christ. Phara-
sees stone you, Jesus gives you the
new chance and adds an inspirations
what are you doing with your Christ
given church and Inspiration.
The Pharisees challenge His act.
We are Abraham's seed. ssYou don't
act like ito. Spiritually, you
mean we are the children Of God
by covenant" Listen TO Christ's
answer which, / believe, was given
with tears "You are not the children
OF Cod "Who are we, then?',
they ask. and Oh listen to His sad
reply. We are of your father the
devil.-''Why?'' "You manifest his
spirit" This is Chrlst's sizing 40 of
character, envy, jealousy, hatred,
lalslty, impatience, evil speaking,
roughnes, disregard of others rights
are characteristics of the child OF
Satan, not of the child of God.

During the Night.

Ever since the Milwaukee road en-
tended its passenger service into the
city duling the night hours il has
been necessary to detail certain
clerks in the Office to remain up to
distribute the mails and get down at
an early hour N the morning for
the outgoing Trains. Postmaster
Bras took up the question along in
December With the department to
give him a night clerk to remain on
on duty during the entire njgGt.
Mr.. Bras stated that the department.
has just informed him that bis re-
quest had been granted and that he
was empowered to appoint such a
clerk, Mr.. Bras appointed Harry
Cook who has done more OF less
work in the postoflice for the past
six OF eight months. The night man
will attend to the delivery of the
night mail and the front door of the
office will be open as late as IL o'clock

PURPOSES OF THE CHURCH
are Set Forth by DR.. Mead in
a Sermon Along that Line
Friday Night.

CDflst's Presentation of His Meth
on and His Purpose for His Church
as Illustrated in Luke l5. was the
subject discussed by DR.. Mead Friday
evening at the Presbyterian revival
services. He said in part: The
Christian man in or out, of the
church is an ambassador of God.
"beseech you on behalf of Christ

appeal and it should he ours. The

can measure that until?

make this a searching time, a
time of going out after both those

The third type is the so-called

one held responsible for his going.
He got to himself, finds nothing
but stubble: he thinks of his faith

he resolves to 90 not to be a son

he starts. The father, who imper-
