PUBLISHERS MUST OBEY POSTAL UNS Regarding the Circulating of Newspapers that are Not Paid for. Inspectors of the postoffice, department are traveling around over the country dropping into newspaper offices when least expected to examine subscription lists, to ascertain if the regulation requiring payment of subscriptions, is being observed. Several newspaper have- gotten into trouble, and no editor knows what day an inspectors ma} pop in and ask to see your list. Here is a case told by the Des Moines Capital. “Editor Fay of Lyons, la., has beer called to Washington city becau e his subscription list is not as well paid up as the law requires. He will have to explain to the government officials why he has not compelled his subscribers to pay up according to the postal rules. An inspector had visited' two months previously and his list was said to be pretty thoroughly

paid up, but evidently it was not sufficiently so. The editor of the Bee published at Jefferson, lowa, has also been called on the carpet. This is what he says inpart about it. “The Bee this morning received its first official summons from the postoffice department to conform with the ruling which requires subscribers to keep their subscriptions paid up. We can no longer send the paper to delinquents, no matter how willing we may be to accommodate them. It is very dangerous business for a newspaper man to send papers to subscribers who are more than twelve months in arrears. To be deprived of the second-class mailing privilege, which is the penalty for non-com-pliance with the rulings, puts a newspaper out of business, for the expense of putting a one-cent stamp on every paper mailed amounts to much more than the profits on the entire subscription business, to say nothing of the increased amount of labor which would be required in affixing the stamps. The fore going explains why it is necessary at this time for us to straighten out our subscription list. For that reason all subscribers who are in arrears will receive a statement of their standing by mail or will be called on personally. It will greatly oblige us if all more than a year delinquent will settle prompt-

ly, or otherwise we will be obliged to discontinue sending the paper. It will distress us greatly to cut off a lot of good patrons who we know intend to pay, but are careless about the matter, and if such really want the Journal we know they will come to our assistance and relieve us from this embarrassment. Dies of Injuries. Mahion King died at his home near Benton Thursday evening at 9:45 o’clock from the injuries re ceived from a run away last Tuesday one week ago. Mr. King was a very prosperous farmer and had lived on the farm near Benton, for 25 years. He was 64 years of age. His wife, two brothers and one sister survive. The funeral was held Sunday at his home. Finds Infant In Lake. A party of Pierceton people who were at Barbe lake last Sunday made a grewsome find in the waters of that lake, in the form of an infant child that had been thrown there some days prior as the decomposed state of the little body showed. County Coroner Kelly, of Warsaw, has gathered information that a criminal abortion was performed and the case will be looked into. Entertains Sunday School Class. Elva Miles assisted by Donna and Erma Miles entertained her Sunday school class across the lake last Thursday afternoon. The afternoon was spent in playing games and in what pleases young children as much as older ones, a bountiful and delicious lunch. One wee tot told us she ate so much she was almost sick (what often happens to older picnicersj The trip over was made in launches and those who went were: Jnanita Bender, Majorie Deardorfl, Louise Self, Russell Lepper, Carl Young, Louis Bender and Joe Stetler.

Warren Colwell and wife might have had a lively time while out fishing one day last week. A swarm of bees chanced their way and a few of them settled on Mrs. Colwell’s hat but they evidently did not consider that a first class place to settle so they informed the rest and the entire swarm passed on to find a better place. Pleasantly Surprised. Sunday at the Butt-Colwell camp at Kale Island, witnessed a birthday surprise, the happy victim being Attorney Otic C. Butt, it being his twenty-fifth birthday anniversary. While the good things were being prepared for the sump- ‘ tious dinner that was served at the noon hour, and the guests were arriving, Mr. Butt, unconscious of what was going on at camp was serenely rowing about the lake—not fishing?—but simply locating suitable fishing grounds for Monday’s fishing. When the noon hour ; arrived a loud blast of the dinner horn—Mr. Butt’s frow speaking : through her hands brought him ; post haste after he had delayed the ; game some 30 minutes, (a big one : was nibbling at anchor robe,) Mr. : Butt returned to camp, imagine his I surprise when he found several reI latives present and a feast of good > things prepared to ease the knawing I that lingers in the regions of one’s I belt after having ordiously rowed a I boat for four hours in guest of fishI (ing) grounds.

THE CHRISTIAN’S CRJED IS LOVE. Did Jesus oppose the Jews because of their religion? No; it was their want of religion. It was their hypocrisy. It was because they did not live up to their religion. Jesus was a Jew; but he said the Jews were not Jews. He said they had apostalized—had forsaken the true Jewish faith. He would fulfill the Law—live up to it to the letter. His religion was true Judaism, the same as Isaiah’s. (Read the first Chapter of Isaiah.) “Love your neighbor as yourself’ (Old Testament.) That cannot be much improved upon. Jesus put emphasis upon this command by loving his neighbor better than himself. Sell all and give to the poor. But this is not enough. Be unspotted in character. This is essential —“unspotted from the world. Good character and devotion to God. But where approach your maker? h your secret chamber after you have “shut the door;” and after prayer “go about doing good” to whomever your elbows touch. Love! God is love. What else? Nothing. Love is the fulfilling of the law. It is the whole of God. What more can there be of Christianity? Did the followers of the master depart from his teaching when they had all things common and were “of one heart and one soul—were one as he and the Father were one?" I think not. And why are they not so now that profess to be his deciples. That is plain. It is because they are not his disciples. They could not be other than one if they were his disciples. Did Jesus love his brethren only? Did

he cast out the devils of those only who had been baptized? Did he feed only those who were of his fold? He did good to all. If ye salute your brethren only what reward have ye? he asked. The Christian religion is very plain—no other is so easily understood no other so unites men in love for one another —in love for all men—for all living things, and no otheris so easily practiced. Why so easily practiced. Why so? Because it is love. Love moves automatically. Love exists only in motion. It is a positive force moving always of its own accord like gravity. It is a law unto itself. The Christian is opposed to sin. Oh, how Jesus disliked it! He came to destroy it—to take away the sin of the world.” How? By condemning the sinner? No. “Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more,” were his words.

No; Jesus did not* condemn the Jews’ religion. He condemned the want of it. The Jews’ religion is a good religion; but the Jews had forgotten what it was; as we (if ever we knew) have forgotten what Christianity is. They had ceased to be Jews. The priest and the Sevite “passed by on the other side” of the wounded and suffering. The Good Samaritan was the true Lemite—the Jew in fact. Why? It was because he was good. Good to himself? No. He was good to him who had been robbed and wounded by highwaymen. And Jesus did not condemn the Samaritan though not of his sect. The Samaritan was to the Jew as the Negro is to the self-righteous, lowdown, swell-headed, mean-soul, socalled “white man”—as the “heretic” is to the bigot. No; Jesus did not hate him though he worshipped on Mount Gerezim instead of in Jerusalem. Jesus honored the Samaritan because the Samaritan was good hearted—because he loved his neighbor as himself-r-honored him for the good he did and not because he belonged to the same church thatJJesus belonged to. No man is a Jew . that doesn’t

love his neighbor as himself; and no man is a Christian that doesn't love his neighbor better than himself. That is all there is betwixt the true Jew and the true Christian. The Jew* measures duty by self; the Christian by God’s measure. What is that? God sends his rain to water the fields of the evil and the good alike and self-interest is not the criterion. Does the ocean want water? Does God want any- 4 thing? He is the “All and In All,” as the ocean is the all of earth’s moisture. There is never a drop of water on Earth’s face that does not come from and return to the ocean. There is never life in the universe that does not come from and return to Gdd. “He that is not against us in on our part," the Master said. We may hinder the progress of truth. It flows like water. He that does not hinder its flow is on the part of truth. See! it flows of its own accord. It needs no propulsion. True Christianity—“righteousness—will cover the earth as the waters cover the deep”—will do so finally, the Bible says. But the effort is made to sweep the tide back with a broom. Vain! One may oppose all the other sects of the so-called “Christian church” and not be denounced as a “heretic,” if he hold to a single “Evangelical sect”—whatever that may mean. But, if he oppose all of them, then is he an “infidel” though he hold fast the law, the prophets and the New Testament and the “church invisible” and live an upright life, worshipping God ’’according to the dictates of his own conscience. What is that invisible church? It comprises all the good—the doers of the will of the Father” the world over. This church holds fast to one faith and one baptism. What is that faith? It is not - a “belief;” but a trust—a trust in God! What the baptism? Baptism of the Holy Ghost! Leonard Brown.

Team Ran Away. The delivery team of Arden Geyer our Ice Cream manufacturer took fright Saturday at some boys carrying fish poles and made a gerferal distribution of six five gallon cans of ice cream of various flavors, in a manner not exactly in keeping with Arden’s methods. He had an 80 gallon order to deliver at the depot for no 16, one half of the order had been delivered and the second load nearly ready to go when the horses ran away. E. E Strieby helped Arden to gather up his product with his auto delivery just in time for the train which favored him by being a few minutes late. oFire Destroyes Hay Crop. A fire Saturday afternoon which originated from a railroad engine did considerable damage for W. E. Moore, living east of town about four miles. The fire started in a26 acre hay field and burned with such rapidity that a man could not run fast enough to keep out of its way. The larger part of the hay was cut ready to take in and about one half of it and 75 rods of rail fence was consumed by the flames. The shifting of the fire to the west in a woods, and the timely shower saved the neighborhood perhaps from a great loss. Buys Concrete Mixer. E, E. McClintic has purchased a Clover Leaf Concrete Mixer of the Clover Leaf Mfg. Co., at South Bend. The machine is a large one and capable of turning out an enormous amount of concrete per day. Mr. McClintic has several large contracts which necessitated the I purchase at this season of the year.

Milford and Syracuse are “It.” Milford has the world’s mathematician while Syracuse has the world beat on a bicycle. No person can describe the skill of young Mr. Snyder on a wheel. He has now arrived at the point where he is called the greatest trick man ip the world. He rides across a tight wire suspended sixty feet in the air and over one of the most busy thoroughfares of London, and appeals to the great crowds below that they need not be alarmed for there is no danger. jNot only does he ride his wheel in the ordinary way, but rides it backward over the same wire not to exceed a half inch in size without any ballast. O At Nappanee, affidavits have been filed for the arrest of four automobiles, charging them with wanton disregard of the speed laws of Indiana. If everyone who passed through this town exceeding the speed limit should be arrested, there would be arrests every day and most days a great many, that is, until they keow what the consequences were and commence to abide by the law.
