NEW SCHOO/BUILDING.

Citizens of Mt. Sterling, inter
ested, met at Trimble's Hall last
Wednesday evening to consider
the question of organizing a stock
company to purchase a location
and put uprschool buildings. j.
W. Hedden was made chairman
and Hoffman Wood secretary.
Speeches were made by j. e.
Trimble, ST.. Revs. III. Ct. Turner.
H. ID. Clark, and Il. Benton Hill.
Prof. W. H. Cord, Hoffman
Wood, G.. ID. Grubbs and others.
favOring the proposition of a
school building. A committee on
location. consisting of j. Ct. Trim
BILE. ST.. .tW. A. Sutton and John
l.. Mccormick: also one on propo-
sition. consisting of Rev. T. Ben

q. VIM, John G.. Wood and Rev.
II. ID. Clark were appointed with
directions to report at meeting to
be held at the Court House to-
morrow, Thursday evening, at
30 o'clock.
This move on the part of our
citizens to invest in school
building which. with a faculty of
our best educators, would draw
boys and girls to our city who
would become boarders in our
halls, distributing a large sum of
money annually is commendable.
Paramount is the educational senti-
ment and the moral effects of a
college.
Let every citizen interested in
his or her business, men and
women. attend the meeting Thurs
day evening at the Court House.

HOPEFUL OUTLOOK.

We give the summary of chief
.oints in the Court of Appeals de-
ision in the County Unit Bill.
he decision by the Court is
cry explicit and comprehensive
N the questions involved, but
aust not be regarded us an en-
PRESTON of the courts ideas on
temperance. Their duty was to

The most Jealous advocates of
temperance have no cause for dis
satisfaction with the decision, or
with the remarkable growth of
temperance sentiment and cOnvic-
ton in Kentucky, An irresistible
tide has been and is sweeping
the country; consciences are being
stirred; politicians heretofore in
different or antagonistic, are now
climbing on the band wagon, real
ling that self preservation is the
first law of nature" The dark
ness is disappearing, the day of
Kentucky's redemption and exalta-

Again we plead for higher citi-
lenship, and happier homes, by
suppression of the liquor traffic.
Let us look to the next LegisIa-
,ure for further legislation.

THAT THEY MAY BE ONE.

II another column is the official
record of the union of the two
Presbyterian churches of this city.
TO this we call attention of our
readers. We regret the removal
from our city of either or both of
the pastors. who have labored fol
the uplift of our community. The
united congregations, now one, will
be drawn closer to each other and
animated by one purpose will 90
forth to accomplish greater things
for the Christ. We congratulate
the officiary and laymen for THEN
cheerful decision to be one, and
wish that their fondest hopes with
most devoted and loyal service fer
the Christ will be fully realized.
and that their action will be an
incentive to other believers to do
likewise.
We are reminded of the loving
words of the Christ, when, real
ling that his hour was near, he
came to his Father in prayer. John
18th chapter, l-26. We quote as
follows: Holy Father, keep
through thine own name those
whom thou hast given me, that
they may be one as we are. y"
Neither pray | for these alone, but
for them also which shall believe
on me through their word; that
they all may be one, as thou.
Father, art in me and | in thee.
that they also may be one in us ::
that the world may believe that
thou hast sent me. And the glory
which thou givest me | have given
them: that they may be one, even
a. we are one. | in them and
those in me, that they may be made
perfect in one, and that the world
may know that thou hast sent me-"
The prayer of the Christ can and
must be answered in the oneness
OF his followers. The action of the
two congregations in this city is a
practical fuliillment of his earnest
PRAYER. The union of ALL be!iev-
ers is possible, desirable, and help
ful. because he prayed for it,
When his followers are filled and
guided by his spirit they will no
longer strive against each other, or
encourage division. but will be ONE.
Thi, will not be accomplished
through the agency of angels, but
through men aud women in Mt. |
Sterling and other places who are
willing to please, not themselves,
but the Christ.

Sunday Papers Barred.


Twenty thousand American pa
pers hitherto sold freely in Canada
on Sunday are absolutely barred
on that day, and Canada itself
does not issue Sunday paper. 1t
is illegal even for express compa-
MES to bring these papers into
Canada on Sunday. The legisla-
ton prohibiting the sale of news
papers throughout the Dominion
on Sunday was passed at last years
parliamentary session, and the
penalty for violation is fine of
$3.50, or two months in Jail. The
papers have always been obtaina-
bile on trains, at stations and at
hotels and bookstalls. A meeting
of those interested in the sale was
held. The legal advice was that
no loophole existed by which the
papers could be paid for in advance
or on Monday and given or deliv-
cred in rooms or at the houses of
customers on Sunday.
This fact, as announced above.
will be a surprise to many thous-
ands of Americans. and is worthy
of some observation. The writer
is heartily in sympathy with the
sentiment expressed and would be
pleased to know that the day will
come when there will not be a
Sunday newspaper printed or read
on Sunday in Kentucky or the
United States.
In accord with this sentiment he
has few years agO-practically
sidetracked the Sunday paper, and
now thinks that. whatever expan-
sions or changed conditions may
come to him as an editor, he will
never publish a paper on the
Lords day. He does not presume
to dictate to other editors what
they shall do, but would persuade
them. His conception of christian
citizenship is such that he must
discourage the now very popular
custom of printing and reading
Sunday newspapers. This restric-
ton is especially applicable to
men and women who recognize the
and authority of God
and Christ. A fuller expression
of his views will be given from
time to time. While thus en-
gagged he will be pleased to have
the opinions of others. If his wish
could prevail the publication and
sale of newspapers on the Lords
day would cease in Mt. Sterling
and all other towns and cities.
He presents this matter for Sc
rious consideration by the Ken
lucky Press Association. of which
he is a member. T.
