We are” glad to Teirn through private letter that Bro. F. M. Rains is in a fair way to build up a good strong church in Leavenworth, Kan.

EDITORIAL NOTES Quite a number of l>ooks and letters have been received during our absence which will lie attended to in due time. Bro. J. B. Harris, our agent at Harrisburg, moves to Eugene City, and Bro. A. C. Vernon takes his place as our agent. To “ join the church,” is to join Jesus Christ; and to join Christ is to do exactly what he' commanded in order to be saved. We again call attention to our tracts on “ Modern Dancing Among Church Members,” which can be had at this office at 10 cts. per copy. Portland is to have a new hotel on the old Central School site at a cost when furnished of $500,000. This will be quite an addition to that city. Our good brother of the Apostolic Times has just discovered that we are editing the H erald . You see spring is opening out, the warm sun is cracking tiie shells and the heads of some of our editors are just beginning to peep out 1 But thunks, all the ¡iarne. We would be glad to Eave all re new for the H erald without fur ther delay, for we wish to close up ulori of <rar l»o©k work as soon as possible. Let our agents see to this. Prof. NVoolery, of Bethany Col lege and Dr. Collins are having a discussion in the Christian Stand ard on the wine question. As this matter is now in the hands of able representatives we would be glad to see it thoroughly sifted. Let Bro. Henry Shadle has located in them agree on a definite proposi San Francisco, and has sent in his tion, and then give us the best they resignation to the church at Port have. • land, we are sorry of this, for we The Central Baptist, of St. had hoped that Bro. Shadle would soon recover from his throat trouble Louis, says : “We hold that it is and return to his pulpit work. •» pur solemn duty to teach our child ren not only to be Christians, but We wish to call attention again to be Baptists.” Are we to under to the Worker, Bro. R. B. Neal’s stand by this that it is not enough “ red-hot ” temperance paper pub to be simply a Christian ? If so, lished at Louisville, Ky. See ad then the Bible is at fault for not vertisement in another part of this speaking of the existence of such a paper. We aend it and the H erald denomination as the Baptists. If not, why teach the children or any l»oth one year for $2.40. • one else to be a Baptist ? The Christian Messenger, of Bon The Independent, of New York, ham, Texas, indorses our criticism of the Apostolic Times for calling rebukes the Western Recorder (Bap the young preachers, just out of the tist) for calling us “ Camp bellites.” Bible college, “ pastors of the When will all others learn to treat ehurches.” We are glad to see the us with the same respect awl cour Messenger . standing firm for the tesy ? But the Independent while speaking of our close adherance to pure Gospel. the teaching of the Bible, says, School directors who desire to “ But it is true that the literalistic secure Carefully trained teachers principle is that of Pharisaism and for their spring schools, would do is bad everywhere.” If doing just well to address the “ President of what Jesus and the apostles posi Oregon State Normal School ” at tively commanded all desiring sal Monmouth on the subject. Give vation to do is Pharisaism, then let size of school, length of term, and it be so. Better have such Pharis aisin than uo ism at all, salary offered, when writing. NO. 10. If the"secular papers are to be trusted the legislature of Mo. is now grappling with the liquor problem of that State. It seems that al »out the best they can do for the present is to regulate the sale by imposing a high license. Yet many in the State are driving straight for prohibition. With St. Louis on one side of that State and Kansas City on the other, we fear she will have a hard fight of it. Some time since the Mayor of New York refused to grant a license to Mr. Morse to present his Passion Play in that city. Mr. Morse has recently attempted to give it at his own private residence, • claiming thaLhe had a right to do so without a ticehse. But as soon as the curtain was raised he was promptly arrested and carried to the Station house where, he was released by giving, bail in the sum of $500. We hope that Mr. Morse will now have a more decent respect for the feelings of the people *of that city, and let this put an end to the Passion Play in America. Our candid opinion is that Bi o. F. M. Green has let himself down several degrees in his article re cently published in the Christian Preacher. That some took life membership, etc, in the name of their little children is a simple fact that no one can call in question who attended the Convention at Lexington. Why then get mad and refuse to fellowship those good brethren who have the courage to criticise such a course on the pari of the Convention ? We think it would lie far more manly and Christian just to acknowledge the matter ami try to avoid such blun ders in the future. If more of the mistakes and departures of our Conventions are to be criticised, then the work of this restoration • is at an end. We sometimes hear a great deal about the love , of God from those who do not ol»ey him. We should remember that he who truly loves God will keep his commandments^ for this is the fove vf God,
