Judge Minor a Hard Worker.

Judge Selden 8. Miner, who has been
called in to assist the Wayne cir
cult judges in clearing up the dock
ct, is whale for work" according
to the officials of his court. When
he is at home in the thirty-fiftIh jul
dicial circuit, which comprises the
counties of Shiawassee and Living
ston, he opens court at 9 o'clock In
the morning, adjourns, at noon for
lunch, resumes at 1870 and sits till
o'clock, no matter what the wealth
err may be. He could not see any
reason for changing his habits in De-
troit, even If most of the other
judges did sit only from 8 until 1
o'clock and he kept on grinding un-
til o'clock until there was a COM
bined kick among the attorneys. It
they were kept in court all day they
had no time for their Office business,
they said, and Judge Miner had to
inaugurate the halliday system.
Judge Miner is serving his first
term as circuit Judge, having been
elected only four years ago. Prior
to that he served four years as pros
ecuting attorney of Shiawassee coun-
ty. He has been practicing law

Livingston county, and now lives in

Here in the forest now,

Here in the forest now,
AS on that old July
When first our Fathers took the vow,
The bluebird, stained with earth and sky,
Shouts from blowing bough
In green aerial freedom, wild and high,
And now, as then, the bobolink
out on the uncertain brink
or the swaying maple swings,
Loosing his song out link by golden link
Whlle over the wood his proclamation
rings.
A daring boast that would unkingdom
kings!
Even so the wild birds sang on bough and
wall
That day the bell of Independence hall
Thundered upon the world the word OF
The word God uttered when the world be-
That day when liberty began to be
And mighty hopes were out on land and
sea.
But Freedom calls her conscripts now. as
then;
It is an endless battle to be free.
AS the old dangers lessen from the skies
New dangers rise.
Down the long centuries eternally,
Again, again. will rise Thermopylae:
Again. again, a new Leonidas
Must hold for God the imperiled pass.
AS the long ages run
New Lexington will rise on Lexington
And many a valorous Warren fall
Upon the imperiled wall.
Man is the conscript of an endless quest,
A long divine adventure without rest,
A holy war, a battle yet unwon
When he shall climb beyond the burnt
out sun.
Each hard earned freedom withers to q
bond
Freedom forever is beyond-beyond!

Verses 16-21-In what class do you
| place those who profit by the sins Of
| fallen women?
This young woman was possessed
with a very clever spirit Of evil, an all
round spirit Of deception, including
fortune telling; now wherein did her
sin consist, and that Of her owners?
Which are the more to be blamed In
these days, fortune tellers or their
willing dupes?
|" When bad men are losing the gains
OF their evil occupation, are they apt
to be careful of the truth. when they
are after the good men who have de-
stroyed their business? For example
the liquor dealers.
Verse 22-What made the multitude
so angry at Paul and Silas, and is any
reliance ever to be placed upon the
excited attitude Of large crowd?
Do religious differences still make
the people hate one another!
Does worldly gain, to-day play any
part in religious intolerance?
Verse 23-Why did God permit such
cruelty to his faithful servants?
Why is 1t that godly people often
have to go through very exquisite suf-
fering?
Verse 24-Say why It is possible for
any good man in prison, lying upon a
raw back, with his feet fast in the
stocks, to be as happy as man in
health and at liberty?
Does a good mans influence cease
when he is imprisoned and his limbs
are fettered?
In looking back over the results Of
his imprisonment, would Paul and
Silas be apt to regret this painful in
cident?
Verse 25-Is there any circumstance
so painful. or disastrous, that prayer
and praise cannot turn it into Joy and
victory?
If we prayed and sang more in our
private lives, and in our families,
would we have more Joy and gladness?
Verse 26-Was this earthquake the
result of the prayer Of Paul and Silas,
or was IL natural event?
Does God today work out for his
people, practically the same results as
are here recorded?
Verses 27-2S-Why did the jai.er de-
eide upon suicide, and Is such course
ever iustiiable?
Verses 29-30-Was It natural fear
or religious conviction, that now oper-
ated in the jailer?
What did the jailer desire to be
saved from?
Verse 31-What precisely did they

The Church of Christ Prospers.


Sunday morning Rev. C. M. Keene
entered upon the fourth year of his
pastorate of the Church of Christ.
The house was beautifully decorated
with flowers in honor of the occasion
and among them was a vase on the
pulpit, containing three white roses
emblems of the three beautiful years
of Christian fellowship and a card
with the following inscription:
Another year has come and gone;
A year of service true and strong.
Saints have been helped and souls
won,
And our new church Is well begun.
We bless the tie that binds together,
Our hearts as children of the Father,
And face the future in Gods might,
And seek to walk in paths of right"
The following extracts are taken
from the pastors annual report:
eve Ihave reached today another
milestone in our fellowship in the
gospel. For three years we have
worked and worshiped together.
These have been years of prepare
ton. If our preparation has been
wise the coming years will justify
the toll and sacrifice. The past year
has been the best year, financially
and spiritually in our history. Those
upon whom special responsibilities
have been laid, have as a rule been
faithful. There has been very little
Sinking and very little unkind crit
icism. Our Willing Workers So
ciety, the Burton Aid Society, the
auxiliary society and the Sunday
school are worthy of special COM
mendation for the splendid work
they have done. There is one fea-
ture Of our work that is remark
able. While we have been placing
the pressure on money for our new
church building yet our missionary
offerings have not decreased, but ac-
tually increased over any year in our
history. This speaks more elo-
quently for the spirituality Of the
church than any word 1 could utter.
Money has been raised as follows.
For current expenses. $1,103.47
For Missions ..... 1887
For the building fund -. 1,292.23
Total for all purposes .$2,577.56
Of this amount the Sunday school

DOWN IN eLABAm'. "
The Object Of Southern Prohibition
Laws is to Keep "Booze. from
the Niger" While the
White Man Gets His.

The prohibition pendulum in the
south, says the st. Paul Dispatch,
which has of recent years persistent
" swung one way. gives evidence Of
swinging back again, if the Alaba-
ma election may be taken as indica-
tive of southern sentiment. The
issue was not entirely direct and
uninvolved, but the prohibition
campaign was waged with unusual
vigor and enthusiasm.
Former prohibition successes in
the south have not been, as might
be supposed, entirely the result Of
a large moral sentiment. The selfish
interest has been potent factor.
Employers Of colored labor have
been influenced by the difficulty Of
securing help at critical times. and
have turned to prohibition as way
out of the trouble. But in most
cases the proposed law has been
adroitly framed to prohibit the
local liquor traffic and enforce sobri-
ETY. among the laboring classes. and
at the same time permit the rich
planter to import and enjoy the
liquid good things of life. This un-
equal operation Of the law had its
natural effect and made strength for
the opposition.
