Rarvson Discusses the Plac
the Law in the Kingdom.
The place cf t'ne law in the king
dom of God was the subject of Mr. A.
J. Hanson's sermon yesterday after
noon at East Avenue Tabernacle.
The first four of the command
ments were discussed., and the remain
der will be taken 'up this afternoon.
In the first commandment, God tells
us that he will not suffer us to di
vide the homage, which is due Him
By Joseph Malins.
'Twas a dangerous cliff, as they freely
confessed.
Though to walk' near its crest was so
pleasant;
But over its terrible edge there had
slipped
A duke and full many a peas
ant. So the people said something would
have to be done,
But (heir projects did not at all
tally
with idols, which men are prone to Some said, "Put a fence around the
worship. We must not make an idol ! edge of the cliff," '
out of business or home affairs orj Some, "An ambulance down in the?
anything else, but we must have no valley." (

etc., don't trifle with a substitute. It is a cheap mixture and hence ineffec

other God before us.
The second commandment was dis
cussed with reference to that inheri
tance a father may leave his child.
This commandment says that sin is
hereditary, and if this is so, righteous
ness and right living may be inherited
also.
The command not to take the name
of the Lord in vain was discussed." The
great sin cf profanity was deplored.
The last was the fourth command
ment, which commands us to keep the
Sabbath day holy.
The evening service the speaker
took for his subject, "He not asham
ed of the gospel." The gospel was
i defined as the "glad tidings of God,
i and as the "good news."
The story of Paul's confidence in
the gospel was told, and how he had
seen its power in his own life, and in
I the life of others.
i The gospel is the power of God to
Salvation. The age of miracles is not
past, for there is no greater miracle
than the salvation of a soul for time
and eternity.
A CROSS OF COTTON
London. Eng.. March 11. A dispatch
from St. Petersburg says three soldiers
belonging to one of the cavalry regi
ments of the Russian guards, were re
cently secretly and summarily executed
in the Petropavlosk fortress.
Deep mystery surrounds the affair,
which has caused the more speculation
in view of the wild rumors current
within the past few weeks of conspira
cies against the imperial household.
The three men were suddenly placed
under arrest, a somewhat vague charge
of "furthering the revolutionary propa
ganda" being brought against them.
There was no trial but two hours later i

Monroe, Wis., March 11. Members
of the Wisconsin Dairymen's associa

the country, met in annual conven

And the cry of the ambulance carried
the day,
For it spread through the neighbor
ing city.
A fence may be useful or not, it is
tru,e.
But each heart became brimful of
pity
For those who slipped over the dan
gerous cliff;
And the dwellers in highway and
alley
Gave pounds or gave pence, not to
put up a fence,
But an ambulance down in the val
ley. "For the cliff is alright, if you're care
ful," they said,
"And, if folks even slip and are drop
Ping, It isn't the slipping that hurts them so
much
As the shock down helow when
they're stopping."
So day after day, as these mishaps oc
curred, Quick forth would these rescuers
sally
To pick up the victims who fell off
the cliff
With their ambulance down in the
valley.
Then an old sage remarked, "It's a
marvel to me
That people give far more atten
tion To repairing results than to stopping
the cause, I .

"Come, neighbors and friends, let us

valley.
"Oh, he's a fanatic," the others re
joined. "Dispense with the ambulance?
Never!
He'd dispense with all charities too,
if he could; . - 1
No, no, we'll support them for- j
ever.
Aren't we picking up folks just as fast
as they fall? "
And this man dictate to us? Shall
he?
Why should the people of sense stop
to put up a fence
While their ambuiance works in the
valley?"

Vestrymen of St. Peter's Adopt Appro

The vestrymen of St. Peter's Episco
pal church unanimously passed the fol
lowing resolutions in regard to their
loss in the death of Mr. Clement
Dowd, a member of their body:
"We, the rector, wardens and vestry
men of St. Peter's Episcopal church
feel deeply the death of our friend
and associate, Clement Dowd, and fle
sire to place upon record, not only
our sense of personal 1oss but also
our appreciation of his faithfulness
in all his duties Incumbent upon him
as a communicant and vestryman of
the church.
"A wise counselor, an earnest com
municant and a true friend, he has
gone to his rest, and we pray that
his example may be an inspiration
to us who remain.
"Resolved, Therefore, that a copy of
this minute be spread upon the rec
ords of this body, be published in the
newsnaners and also be sent to the
family.

But a sensible few, who are practical,
too,
Will not bear with such nonsense
much longer;
They believe that prevention is better
than cure,
And their party will soon be the

Encourage them, then, with your purse,
voice and pen,
And, (While other philanthropists

They will scorn all pretence, and put 1
a stout fence
On the cliff that hangs over the
valley.
Better guide well the young than re
claim them when old;
For the voice of true wisdom is
calling,
"To rescue the fallen is good, but 'tis
best
To prevent other people from fail
ins." '
Better close up the source of temp
tation and crime
Than deliver from dungeon or gal
iGy i
Better put a strong fence 'round the
top of the cliff
Than an ambulance down in the
valley.
