the entire school were on the roll of honor
for the last month. A large iiuiiiIxt were
present every day during the term. Many
visitors witnessed the closing exercises and
expressed them highly pleated w ith the re

Phoenix, of Meadow Brook, made us a

Many of onr people went to Wright's

tradicted his former comparison of the "Old
Lady, of Salem,' in his Maruuamville
.apeech of June 13, relative to the old parties
keeping right on as they had done to bring
about the needed reform.
Truth is an unalterable fact, either in pol
itics or religion, but Prof. Rork preaches
repentance in politics, and when he conies
to religion he utterly discards all idea of the
word. Politics shun the evil by joining
the farmer's alliance. Religion continue
the evil, if that may been the practice,
when Rork tame into the world, for you
never can be forgiven. This is one of the
religions of the world that knows no Christ,
and does not belong to the Christian dis
pensation. The same may be true with some of the
political issues weare implored to accept as
"Heaven's truths".
