ghborhood, and each week they

send in their budget of interesting

incidents the news and gossip in that special locality. The Telephone is pre-eminently a comity paper published for the whole people. While it gives in detail the new in every neighborhood, it dees not neglect the county seat, but by reason of the paper's size, has room for everything of interests that transpires about Bloomington. The fact that in a few vears it has taken hold and out-run all opposition in point of circulation is certainly sufficient evidence of the worth of the paper. The coming year will only add to

its merits. The city columns will

To the Editor of the Telephone: On Saturday our community was shocked when reading in the Teepuoxe a communication headed "Charity" and signed "Francis Wilson." In it he says; "But it must be borne in mind that the worst implications justified by the facts disclosed are only grave and censurable indiscrestious and im

proprieties". Indeed! a clergyman

of one of the oldest and most numerous of the sects of the church: one who was then President of our State University having, by parents at a distance, committed to his care the moral growth of their children, so conducting himself as to

tionsand improprieties is an insult to the moral sense of our community. And then he dares appeal to the gentle and forgiving spirit of true Christianity to pardon moral crimes so deep and dark as these, And in this connection he dares to say that from Moss have come "no harsh words against his accusers."

Christ as an authority why the church should retain Moss in its membership. Christ says "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time thou shalt not commit adultery. But I say unto you

that whosoever looketh on a woman

j place with that other sitter, to rj1 turn to that sad home.

Charity, I have been taught be gins at home, and repentence, when unfeigued, first seeks to atone the wrongs done to others. Let A jr. Moss go to that house of desolation and need; let him give to the mother 5,000 as the immediate reparation of his wrong, and thon this lawyer will have some better basis than mere words to ask us fof that charity about which he prates. Hypocracy can be contrite because the sin has been made known. But acts of reparation are frui s meet for repentance. Christ alone can look into the heart, but man can judge of true repentance only by such aots. And hence John required this evidence of repentance from those who came to him. When inch acts have been done, the church can better determine the sincerity of repentance. "Is a single lapse from the proprieties of lite to be erretuivable," asks this apologists? Certainly not, when we have the evidences of repentance required by John. The Pharisees and Sadutees came to him, but he rejected them, until they showed their sincerity by good fruits. MeVe words, he would not reoeive, but told them that the tree not bringing foijth good fruit, was to be hewn down and oast into the fire. But thia apologist intimates that there was but "a single lapse," and that only from the "proprieties' of life. I am shocked at such declarations.

They but the more convince me of the necessity of having the affidavits published. Then each reader can see whether the often ces weio ono or many, and whether

they but violated the pioprieiies" j

of life, or its puioit and best moral obligations. When temptation suddenly comes and over powers the force of moral resistance, I can make every allowance. But no such condition exists here.

Christ was not that easy, .namby- j

pamby moralist represented. - lis resentments were almost without limits. But he made just distinctions. He was the associate of publicans and sinners, that he

might instruct them to better lives.

But to the high priest and the

life were so unlike those of the j ipljS

To do this a good increase in subscription is desirable, and to this end the paper will be offered from now to the. 1st of January 1885 for $1.50, sent to any address in th United States.. Fur six month, 75 cents. A word with a neighbor or a little inducement by our friends will do more for the paper than anyother method; and we especially invite our friends to spare no efforts, and we will try and repay you by giving you an excellent papor during the year to ooroe.

The much talked of lied Men's annual supper will take place on Wednesday, December 17th, and its unparalleled success is now assigned beyond question. Large delegations from adjacent towns and many members of the order from some of the large cities have signified their intention to attend. Aside from the banquet of appropriate viands to be spread under the supervision of wine host, Sam Orchard, Jr, at nine o' cloek, the preliminary exercises at the Hall from seven until nine are o3: the most intensely interesting character. The dame, which will no doubt be extensively attended, occurs at Mendelssohn Hall after the supper, on which occasion a choice orchestra from Indianapolis will discourse delightful melody. The tickets are now in the hands of the proper committee and are being taken with alacrity. The occasion will date a notable era in the history of tho ordor f Red Menof Blooming-

legal crime only that defiles. The! morality enjoined by Christ is as1 high above that of human law as j heaven is above hell. The law re- f gards actions; Christ, both thought; and actions ."For from within out of ; the heart of men proceed evil: thoughts, adulteries, fornication, ; laeeviousnesfc; these things cieiileth man."

But as an advocate of that moralitv of which Christ was the greatest teacher the earth has ever known, I dare not let pass by in iilence, that perver siou of christian morality which this lawyer' plea every where exhibits.
