I he word Reverend occura but once in the Bible. In a recent obituary notice the Fort V ayne Gazette says: “He was a constant reader of the Gazette and bore his affliction patiently.” It is said that the Cronin murder trial will begin next Monday. Six men will be tried. Lawyers in behalf of the State think they have a strong case, or at least, say so. Science Rnd the arts are doing well enough when Professor Sullivan can make nearly twenty thousand dollars in a day and keep out of the penitentiary.- Judge. Patrick Ronan and Ella Hettzell were married in the Noble county jail, Albion, the other day. That's business, girls, if you can’t get a man any other way, have one cooped. With the removal of a few such men as Judge Terry the “gun” element of Colifornia will have become extinct and the State will be in condition to claim a degree of civilization.—Chan Fasaett’a Sunday News. The Bible contains 3,566,480 letters, 773,765 words, 33,173 verses, 1,139 chapters, and 66 bocks. Tell us we don't know anything about the Bible, especially when we have the figures before us in the “World of Wisdom.” Farmers, to find the amount of meadow hay you have in your mows, multiply the length in yards by the height in yards, and that by the width in yards, and divide the product by 15. and you get the number of tons, or a very close approximate. In looking through the papers in his safe the other day, Russell Sage discovered that he was the proprietor of a railroad out in lowa that he had forgotten about. An active business man can hardly be expected to keep track of every little million-dollar purchase he makes. —Menton Gazette. Governor Hovey commuted the sentence of young William Benson from death to life imprisonment. He was to have been hanged at Jeffersonville last Friday a week. The sentence was commuted on the grounds of his youth and stupidity. His crime was that of shooting William Motweiler residing six miles west of New Albany, this State. It pays to be a little stupid now and then. Backward, turn backward, 0 time in thy flight, rake up a suicide just for the night; lam so weary of news that is stale, writing up drunkards and vagrants in jail, writing up people that buy some ground, writing old chestnuts of catt. lin pound; weary of chasing till worn are my shoes, rake up some news, mother, rake up some news. Backward, turn backward, O tide of the years, take me again to the time when the beers frothy and foaming were drank by the pail, and people got full and were run off to jail. Let’s have a murder, a shooting or worse, let’s have a scandal or thrilling divorce; to work on a newspaper would give you the blues, rake up some news, mother, rake up some news. —Ex. The Independent Is firmly convinced of the truth of the faith cure doctrine now. Didn’t the lady evangelist tell us at the U. B. church last Sunday evening of another lady who had had her hip dislocated for years, and on going to faith cure headquarters in Boston was completely restored by prayer ? Didn’t she say that the unfortunate lady had to build high heels upon her shoes to compensate for the shortness of the limb, and after certain praying there was a loud snap and the spherical head of the femur popped up and into the acetabulum, and the lady was recovered, and that she had no more use for the high-heeled shoes? No one who was present dare deny but that the lady evangelist told about this miraculous cure. Then why should you doubt? Why should the Independent doubt? Why hadn’t this people been told this story long ere this that they might have been confirmed in the faith years agone? Didn’t a certain Boston doctor about whom the lady evangelist dwelt at length, by having faith, pray himself into fame and into foitunc. But just how it was about the pool woman who had lost her hearing and hul been praying fervently for the last .'./entv years that God might cause her her.! : gto return, failed for lothetwen- ■ l v vears to hear, the lady evangelist Au-. - to state.

The Nature or Man. NUMBER TWO. “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into bis nostrils tho breath of life and man became a living soul.”—Gen. ii. 7. Now the candid reader, who has read this discussion thus far, will judge for himself if this record does, or does not teach that—1. Mau is a material being, “made of dust.” 2. Man was made to live by the “breath of life” breathed into his nostrils —he thus “became a living soul.” 3. Tho “breath of life” is not peculiar to man; the lower animals live also by breathing the breath of life. 4. “Living Soul” is a term not peculiar to man. The lower animals are designated by the same words, “living soul." 5. The soul is the man himself — fromed of dust. These declarations are not assumptions, but are based upon the word of the living God who is the Creator of all living, and knows what He says to be the truth. Let us credit the record He has given ns. We now proceed to show the Bible usage of the term soul which will further confirm the positions we have taken. Gen. xlvi. 26. Souls are born. Gen. xlvi. 26. “All tho souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, came out of bis loins.” Gen. xlvi. 18. “Zilpah • • * * bare unto Jacob sixteen souls.” The soul dies. Ezek. xviii. 20. “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.“ The soul goes into the grave. Ps. xvi. 10. “Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell” (Heb. Sheol—the grave.) The soul can de killed. Ezek. xiii. 19. “To slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live?” The soul must die and go into the grave.—-Ps. Ixxxix. 48. “ What man is he that liveth and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave ?” But that our space is limited, we could easily give scores of passages all going to show the popular view, that the soul is immaterial and immortal is not the teaching of the Holy Scriptures. Had we space we would like to point ont the terrible results that have sprung from immortal soulism. There is, for tho Christian, immortality at the resurrection—when “this mortal shall put on immortalitybut in this present life we would better think we are poor mortal humans, according to the scriptures and then “by patient continuing in well doing, seek for immortality.” Then when Christ comes to raise his dead saints and change the righteous living —mortality will be swallowed up of life —eternal life will be ours. Bro. Beall, toprove man’s present immortality, quotes, “he that believe th shall never die.” The reader will please read John ii. 24-26 inclusive, and he will see that Christ was speaking of the resurrection “at the last day.” Also see I Thes. iv. 16 and 17th verses. I will not dispute his assertion that man was the crowning work of the Creator, but it is a stubborn fact that the Lord God did not think he had made him immortal or he would not have told him he should die if he disobeyed Him. But man did disobey and the sentence of death took effect, although he was made in the image of God. C. M. Richmond. TEEGARDEN. Miles Plake and wife are here visiting friends. Miss Reed has so far recovered as to be able to be removed to her home. Ullery Burkholder’s tile mill was al. most destroyed by fire this week. Loss about §SOO. Rev.
