A SERMON no PREACHERS.


The fight which occurred one night
I this week in front of one of our
Il chnrches reminds us again to call
the attention Of our preachers and
a other church officials to a reprehen-
4 sible .dereliction OF duty on theiR
i part.
( Whenever the doors of the church
are opened, whether it be Sunday or
some other night, a crowd of loud,

every such occurrence adds another

APPEALING TO PREJUDICE.

A candidate for the Grand Chan
cellorship of the knights Of Pythias
Of West Virginia. the Advocate is re-
liably informed, is making a gum
shoe campaign at the expense of the
order with the Charleston ring" as
his main issue. He, SO it is reported,
is urging his election Upon the
grounds that he will remove the Of
fee from Charleston, far from the
cOrrupting influences Of the Char
lesion ring" while the present in
cumbent, who has allied himself with
this aforesaid influence, VIII retain
the office here and the ring will con-
tinue to rule.
Assuming that the report Is true;
one Is at a loss to understand how o
candidate for such an, exalted posi-
ton could use means 80 base to Sc
cure his election He must be indeed
in sad plight when the only argu-
ment for his elevation is that he will
change the location OF the headauar-
ters. ~
Why, forsooth, should the location
Of the headquarters be changed? Is
it wisdom to pay Office rent to anoth-
er when you have your own Office
building? Should the Grand Chan
cellor, who IS also the president Of
the Pythian Mutual Investment Asso-
citation, have the headquarters Of the
Grand Lodge in one place while the
headduarters of the Association re,
main in Charleston ,as they must dc
in accordance with the charter of the
organization?

 The whole region has become to the present generation a sort of terra incognita, though in the early days it was better known.
