Stratford on Avon. England Washing

of genius: 1T is a small. mean lookine

nesting place of genius, which seems
to delight in Matching its offspring in

chambers are covered with names and

HERETO AND ORTHODOX.

About thirty years ago Professor
swiny was a leading Methodist divine
OF Chicago. He was taken up by his
church and tried and expelled on the
charge Of heresy. Professor Swiny al
once established an independent con-
gregation in the city-of which he was
the popular pastor until his death this
summer. The morning after his death
one of the leading Methodist divines
of his city said chat If Professor Swiny
were in the Methodist church today he
would never be tried--as that church
today holds as orthodox the very things
that he was expelled for years ago.
So 1t ever has been, the hereto
Of today is the orthodox hero of to-
morrow. This is the law Of progress.
He who never doubts never progresses,
for he settles down in satisfaction with
his present attainments.

PAY FOR PREACHERS.

The North Dakota Presbyterian min
listers may ger more remuneration for
their work. At meeting Of the Le-
high Presbytery in the state Of Penn
svlvania a. movement was started-the
purpose Of which was to fix the min
irnum salary Of all pastors in the
Northern Presbyterian church at not
less than 81, 900 per annum.
This initiative is likely to appeal to
the entire church. The laborer Is
worthy of his hire While no one
would think OF entering the ministry
simply for the loaves and fishes-still
IL there be a class Of men who should
be wholly unembarrassed in matters
temporal-it is the servant who min
listers In spiritual things. The man of
God who is worrying over making the
buckle and the tongue meeC--can't be
expected to preach with great JUNCTION.
1t Is a hard matter for a minister to
be SO eloquent on Sunday as to bring
the FIRE from heaven on his congrega-
tion--lf he is kept busy during the
week sadesteppang or standing off per-
sistsnt bill collectors. In most cases
ID is the fault of the flock which he is
trying to lead into green pastures and
by the srill waters.
The proposition holds true that bet
ter results could be obtained from the
pulpfts IL the men behind them had
bettsr encouragement and sympathy
eroxn those IN the pews. Many christ
ians' expect the ministers to do every
thing then take part payment in abuse
and criticism.
Under no circumstances should in
ducements TO enter the ministry be
allowed to degenerate into sordid con-
siderations. The hands which serve
the altar must be clean. The lips
which plead with sinners to forsake the
forbidden paths must be free from
guile. But the minister can't breal
for his pensioners the bread OF life
If his pantry be short of provisions.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

In the United States District court
at Indianapolis second Daniel has
come to judgment.
Diminishing with stern reprobation
the government proceedings against
D1lavan Smith and Charles r. will
liams, owners Of The Indianapolis
News, Judge Anderson used this Ian
guage:
THAT man has read the history of
our institutions to little purpose who
does not view with apprehension the
success Of such proceeding as this
to the end that citizens could be
dragged from their homes to the Dis
rrict Of Columbia. the seat OF govern
ment, for trial under the circumstances
OF this case. The defendants are dis
charged"
And the judge went even further in
his Interpretation OF fundamental right
when he said:
II am OF the opinion that the faci
that certain persons were called
thieves and 'swindIers' does not con
sritute libel per Sc. Al newspaper has q
certain duty to perform. AS a former
president has said, Tt is the duty Of !
newspaper to print the news and Il
tell the truth about ir 1t is the duty
OF newspaper to draw differences fol-
the people.
The government prosecution o,
smith and Williams WAS In effect per.
secution an attempt to muzzle tn,
liberty OF the press.
