THE HORSE SUICIDED.
I'relerr'ert Death lti Urn Columbia to
Uelng lMslintmiml by u Saddle.
Henry Boyen had an experience yes
terday with a horse that was decidedly
exciting.
He had taken a colt belonging to Dep
uty Sheriff Keiley to break, the colt be
ing of a very vicious dispositian. Henry
rode him once about three weeks ago,
but had not tackeled him since. Yes
terday having some cattle to look after
in the Gilmer neighborhood, he took the
horse on the Regulator to Rankin's
landing near the month of the White
Sal mon. He blindfolded him and
mounted, and without waiting for the
blind to be lifted, the horse commenced
to buck in a manner that would make a
common cayuse quit, just from envy.
After doing the ground and lofty tumbl
ing act for several minutes without un
seating his rider, the vicious brute
reached around, caught hold of Henry's
leg with his mouth and tried to pull him
off. Failing in this, he delibejately
bucked into the river, going in near the
boat's wheel. As lie struck deep water,
he held his head down and sank.
At this siage of the game Henry had
enough, as he didn't care to go into the
salmon herding business, so he threw
himself backward and floated off. As
he got loose his spur tangled in the
horse's tail, but placed the otiier foot on
the animal's rump and pulled himself
loose. The horse went under long
enough to drown himself, while Boyen,
having on all his cowboy toggery, had a
hard struggle to reach the store.
The horse was pulled out, but just
turned over and died, having apparently
committed deliberate suicide.
lt!hui Cranston' Sermon.
Last night Bishop CraiiBton preached
beforo the district conference an expos
itory sermon from incidents of Moses
career in his leadership of the people of
Israel, particularly at Sinai. Introduc
torially the bishop said he desired that
the presentation of the theme should he
an illustration of a type of expository
preachiug too rarely heard.
The theme was indexed by the text
"Show Mo Thy Glory," Ex. xxxili ;18;
but had its bearing upon a statement of
the declaration of God and three prayers
of Moses found in the statement of cir-1
cumstancea which followed. God's dec
laration was "Let me alone that I may
consume them, and I will make of thee
a great nation." Moses reply in his
first prayer was: "Remember Abra
ham, Isaac and Israel." God's honor
was at stake. The spirit of self abroga
tion on Moses part and the relation of
His covenant moved God to a proposi
tion of reconciliation,
Considered in Ids relation to the Isra
elites and in his relation to God, Moses
becomes a modiator and type of Christ.
In this, too, is found a parallel with the
experience of the ministry in al1 ages,
Born of a Hebrew woman, transferred
under peculiar circumstances to the
royal household, driven from home,
commissioned of God at the burning

bush under a sense of inability, pleads
excuse. Without military prestige,
meeting the conditions of the people in
oppressive slavery, they taunt him.
Burdened with the care nf a million
people, lickle-minded, of idolatrous ten
dencies, of a chiding spirit, Moses must
have some uplift from a superhuman
source. Hence Moses stcond prayer,
"Show me now Thy way," pleading
that it was God's cause, and that the
eyes of all nations were upon them.
The third prayer is found in the text,
"Show Me Thy Glory." How shall tfie
prayer be understood? Was it for a
greater display of miraculous power?
No. The plagues of Egypt, opening of
the sea, provision of food, were eulli
cient in their sphere. Evidently it was
for a more comprehensive view of God's
character and attitude toward men. The
promise was made for the following day.
Directions were given for the occasion.
Moses made preparation and repaired to
the mount. There God's glory was
Bhown. May we not conclude that for
forty davs prophetic visions of the
scheme of redemption, the transfigura
tion, crucifixion, resurrection, ascen
sion, and other essential elements,
passed like a panorama before the eyes
of Moses, and constituted the "glory?"
The cleft of the rock from which Mo6es
viewed the glory is expressive of the
wounds of Christ, in which we And
shelter, and from which everyone re
ceives his lirst impressions ot the Divine
glory.
In obedience to God's proclamation
we may prepare the tables of our hearts,
ascend to the mount of communion, be
held in Jesus body, and receive irlorious
revelations of the nature of God and the
scheme of redemption, while we are en
veloped in the glory of heavenly light.
