How grave was the situation. we may
clean from the fact that, despite His
clear-cut answer. the charge that He
perverted the people by forbidding them
to give tribute unto Caesar was brought
against Christ when He was before

But note the honeyed words by which

A Geographical Dise ussion

Most OF the more serious differences in this
world have insignificant beginnings. Disputants
usually stand in of important issues and discuss
them soberly
We have been induced to this reflection by an
account of a controversy which took place last week
in the Funeral Range in Southern California. A
Mr.. Crews and Mr.. Henry were talking of Mount
Whitney, CALIFORNIA; noblest elevation and its
noted. until it thrown into the background by
in casual way Mount Whitney indigenous
to Tulare county. He gently corrected by MIR.
Henry who said that Mount Whitney was located
in Inyo county Mr.. Crews positive and Mr..
Henry equally Being unequipped with any
geographical data, other thar their convictions, they
quicker the draw shot off the thumb the gun
hand of Mr.. Crews who was thereby incapacitated
for further discussion. Thus for the moment, Mount
Whitney seemed TO be located in Inyo county.
Mr.. Crews sought the settlement to
secure treatment for his injury. acquired in the
pursuit of science and when the wound had been
dressed still unsatsfied that the view expressed by
Mr. Henry unassaable, he procured atlas.
which showed that Mount Whitney was exactly on
a line between Tuare and Inyo, apparently equally
divided between those two counties.
