QOObWBN'S WEEKLY H with that "Insido of the Cup" reviewed in theso H columns on Juno 28. That hook must havo H been very welcome to our lecturer. ' Hj Thero was a time when the Episcopal H church was regarded as the especial isanctuary H of the rich; when the best-dressed ,peoplc in H the community knelt there in their rented pews, H ' and when common people felt strange, unwel- H come and out of place. In that day gentlemen Hj who couldn't afford to havo their trousers press- H ed, or who couldn't perceive that the 'trousers H needed pressing, found their gospel welcome H with the Methodists. The latter mayrhavo lost H none of- their democratic Christianityj but it is Hj clear the Episcopalians or a blessed element in H that communion havo heard the Macedonian H cry, rrd are doing all they can to help. H 01 course, great changes take time. And H yot all progress, all life, must be moyomont to Hj bettor things to the cleaner life of jthc. ricit, H and the richer life of the poor. You Arid it in H "I can but hopo the light will fall M Far off at lask-will fall for all." H You find it in the splendid sormoh and the H unwearying labor of Dr. Goshen up, at First H Congregational; in Bishop Spalding's ' influence H everywhere. It is the recognition of J.hQ Deit H m Man, and the 'hope for his redemption hero H on tins earth. M Smutty pictures In ten-cont shows, and Indecent H suggestions In vaudeville arc setting the stage Tor a H general closing. M ONE OF TEN COMMANDMENTS. H When the Lord told Moses what to write, he 3 didn't forget to begin the dictation with (lie H solemn prohibition: "Thou shall have no other H gods boforo Mel" Being strongly inclined to H religion I take the church papers, and in one of H them find that the Herald and Presbyter sonka H to do with the Sabbath just what Moses found H the pioplo had done with their golden calf H made of it an object of worship. Hero is the H solemn editor's opinion. H "Wo did not expect to say so much on the H subject just at this time, but SabbatlhAttesccration H is a sin that in God's sight is as deadly and as j hateful as murder or theft. It is,, ono of the H peculiarly aggravated sins of our.own. times. H christian people should stand up and protest H against it. Tiioy should advocate and defend tho cause of the Sabbath. If they dp not do so, moro vigorously, by life and wbrd, tho Sabbath will increasingly become to the world merely Sunday, a day with a heathen name, and then . . . simply Sunday, to bo trampled under foot and desecrated with impunity." That editor may think himself an improve ment on Jesus, but ho isn't. The faster found a whole lot of Herald and Presbyter? editors 'in Palestine fellows who cared much moro for tho form of Sabbath observance than for tho words of their mouths, and the meditations oT their hearts; and he told them the Sabbath, was made for man not man for the Sabbath.' Maybe men nowadays do some work on tho Sabbath that could just as well be postponed. If they do, they are loser. They vpay for it thomselves. But thoy do not purposely desecrate tho Sabbath. And even those who with pprverso hearts disregard tho fitting reqognitlon of one day in seven; do with purpose ignore its every sacred call come far short of theft and murder. Tho cuss who blew up Roy Ecclos's home in Og den Saturday night probably, remembered the Sabbath day; in it didn't do any, work. But "in God's sight," to quote my other old friend of the Herald and Presbyter, he can not escape con demnation. Such doctrine as .that quoted makes of tho Sabbath a god, and insists that people shall fall down and worship it. Tho effort is to get a view of Sunday conduct and Sunday sentiment un liko tho sentiment and conduct of the other six days. It tends to make life better on ono day than on other days. Its effect sure and inevit ableis to make life less upright on tho six days than on the seventh. It excuses thoughts on those days that are forbidden on this. It permits work on those da i tho influence of which reaches in cruelty and injSftfko over many Sabbaths, and tho effect of which can not bo undone on one day in seven. Make men do right six days, and they will worship God by doing right on the Seventh. Make a grim and forbidding solemnity of ono day, and for very relaxation men will do wrong tho rest of tho week. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" is a command which includes the Sabbath just as much as it includes tho golden calf on tho plains bolow Sinai. It forbids tho deification of tho day as much as reverence for the idols in the Temples of Baal. "'" ' IIWfM I !! I, , H UNITED ' IRELAND. H I love old Wexford county, fair Louth and Wlcklow, too.

It is a perfect joy to see tho improvement in tho Telegram. Thero is a growing tendency to look for news in its "J columns. It isn't a re print of the morning papers. It handles tele graph of importance, gives that fresh material prominent place, and even repeats the morning stories in a new way. Its local news is a vast improvement. Really, it is an afternoon news- ! paper and it pleases mo to note tho advertisers seem to think morb of it from day to day. I hopo its circulation proves appreciation. When the lato Joseph Pulitzer bought tho St. Louis Post Dispatch, he advanced tho argu ment that a good aftornoon paper was a morn ing paper printed the night before. And really, whero the mechanical equipment permits fast work a four-o'clock editor is going to get pretty much everything, in telegraph news at least, that will find publication next morning. Now York and Washington aro three hours ahead of Salt Lako time, so thaj, foul o'clock here means tho close of business in tlio big news centres, and covers pretty much all of the activities for tho whole twenty-four hours. It then is up to tho young men who gather local news to complete the vital supply. And if they aro good which the young man on tho Telegram seem to be thoy will find every day something of local value which tho morning papers either did not or could not handle. All this with no desire for invidious com parisons. All the Salt Lako papers have im proved so much ' irr 'the past few years, and betterment anywhere is so gratifying that this comment by a rank putsider moans simply an. expression of a general good will. Without question,, tho Telegram is a splendid possibility. If Mr. Halo shall have enough capital there is no doubt tho paper can earn six per cent on two hundred thousand dollars. But it will havo. to own its specially assombled plant, shrewdly 'devised for swift action in tho mochanical departments. Its policy isn't of so much consequence. But it must be, I think, to win tho full thd rewards awaiting, a really and a recognized presentment of tho news. HAD FIXED THINQ8.

Dunn or Now York, In tho lobby or a Washington hotel the other night, "reminds mo or a story about a hostelry In tho sagebrush country. "Some time .ago," continued tliq Con gressman, "a traveler who stopped over night at thpardfald hostelry noticed that Instead of ringing a boll or sounding a gong at moal times, tho proprietor went to tho rront door and fired a double- barrollod shotgun. Lator In tho evening the travolor commomed on tho'strango procedure. " 'That's a novel ldoa or yours,' ho smil ingly remarked to the proprietor, 'calling your guosts by llring a gun.'
