about forty odd yeaSs ago, when men
knew something about warm times. he
never knew time when Richmond

which was to explain the methods set
on foot by the foreiBn mission board
for the purpose or educating the young
people and the older people, too. in
tho mission work. The books repre-
sentcd two or three small Libraries on
the subject of missions in general, and
the doctor showed in a most pleasing
and entertaining manner how the cir
culation and study by classes of these
libraries will. enhance the interest of
the young people in missions. The
methods set forth We're most heartily
approved by the Union.
Verbal reports from the representa-
tives OF the various States Wero made.
and in the main these showed that the
union is generally in q prosperous con-
.dltion and accomplishing great work
for the Masters kingdom. In some IN :
stances II was shown, that the interest
in the unions specific work is waning,
but all of the delegates 50 reporting de-
clared that they had received new IN
sniration from this meeting ana they
thought they would g home and throw
so.ne OF that new life into the waning

sion OF life into the sacred and the
secular clements was another promot-
ing cause of neglect to study the
Bible.
II believe" declared the speaker,
THAT we must come to realize that
this book is not for the sacred day
and the sacred house alone, but for the
sacred life"
Continuing, DR.. aA1cGlothlin asserted
that harm had resulted froma wrong
impression of the Bible, and that the
Scriptures had been eccesasticiscd in
the sense that the masses had been
led to regard the sacred volume as the
exclusive property and province OF the
clergy.
'.But 1t is not an official book" en-
phatically declared the speaker. DR..
McGlothlin took occasion to lament
In vigorous language the division Of
Christianity into ecclesiastical and lay
Christianity. ITO my mind" said he.
cit is the most fatal error that has
ever crept into the Kingdom Of God
this division of Gods children"
After thus explaining the many rea-
sons for this neglect, the speaker, in
vigorous language, entered an earnest
plea for broader instruction in the

WARNING TO STOCK OWNERS


 | W. C. Webster returned to Phoenix yesterday after an extended absence and it will be well for all owners of good work mules to keep the barn doors locked This is no reflection on MT. Webster. who never stole mule in his life. and got caught at it but his business here is to bring in his stock that has been working on the Arizona & California grade in west ern Arizona. He proposes to take the stock to old Mexico. where Grant Brothers are engaged in railroad work. IT any of the local mules should get out of their corrals while Webs stock is in town they might get mixed with il and railroaded to Mexico. which would be a sad thing for the mules. MT. Webster is looking better than usual and feeling better than he looks. He has picked up in We Sht and has lost that pale and sallow complex ion he used tn have when he stood around under the Phoenix awnings on the street corners and talked poli- ties. There arc just two things he is grieving about. however. that may shorten his life. one is that Hi Eldred has left the country and the other Is d lie he says Jake Miller has been cir culating. to the effect that Webster's

long absence from the city was due to the fact that he was confined in the in- sane asylum. Mir. Webster says he has always been more or less crazy. but he has never been caught with the goods on him, like some friends he might name.

 MACKENZIE GORDON ABROAD1 Copies of the Honolulu newspapers describe the conquest of that metropo- lis of the Pacific by Mackenzie Cor don. whose sweet voice is lending charms to that land of flowers and languor. When MT Gordon is not de- lighting the inhabitants by his singing he is entertaining the more select CO., teries of the clubs with stories gath cred from many lands and many lev els of society It is the oIinion of the Honolulu newspapers that if MT Cor don were not so great a singer he would have the reputation of being the greatest story teller living.
