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

possible. Let our agents see to
this.
Prof. NVoolery, of Bethany Col­

matter is now in the hands of able

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,
