The Arkansas Democrat says
that the officer who will not en
force the law, and wilfully neglects
to do so, is an accomplice, morally,
and should be removed from the
office he dishonors. The Journal
heartily concurs. There’s a bill un
der consideration in the Missouri
legislature which provides that any
officer who permits the laws to be
violated shall forfeit his office.
Arkansas might follow the ex
ample with good results.
A press dispatch from New
Haven, Conn., says: “The Amer
ican Modern Language association,
now in anual session at Yale, has
decided that it was not an apple
that Eve handed Adam. The as
sociation inclines to the opinion
that it was a lemon that caused
the trouble in the Garden of Eden.
Prof. O. M. Johnson of theLeland
•Stanford University of California,'
who has made a special study of
tropical fruit, insists that there
were no apples in the Garden of
Eden.” _
An exchange says if a man had
-ar $10' pup he would look after it
carefully and not let it run all over
town, but if he had a boy it would
be different. He is turned loose
at a certain age aud let go to the
devil. The people wonder where !
the great army of tramps, loafers,:
deadbeats and sots come from in ,
each decade. They are germina- j
ted from the pure seed gathered
from our homes and sown broad
cast upon our streets and alleys.
It may be your boy is starting in
that direction. At all events, the
boy ought to be given the same j
chance with the pup.

I Religious Work j

Conducted by Rev. Jas. F. Jei’nigan
Pastor M. E. Church, South
The services Sunday at the M.
K. Church, South, were largely
attended, both in the morning and
at night. The congregation was
good at the 11 o’clock services and
a good spirit of rejoycing was
clearly manifested throughout the
entire hour. On call of the pastor
one came forward for prayers.
The pastor used the words '‘fol
low me.” It was the Masters call
to Levi, who sat at the receipt of
custom, and he arose and followed
Jesus immediately. There are
many Levies sitting at the receipt
of custom today, and the same
Jesus passes by and in loving
tones and tender words says,
“follow me,” but these same
Levies say, “not to day Lord
1 must needs go and do this first,
and then by and by 1 will answer
your call.” And soon the day of
life is gone, and destiny and doom
are fixed; the sinner is gone and
God’s call comes no more. Men
awake!
At night the house was crowded,
not a vacant seat, and many stand
ing in the house, at the doors and
windows. The pastor’s theme was,
“The word, as it applies to life
here and hereafter.” His script
ural examples being the rich man
and Lazarus. The audience was
attentive, and a good spirit per
meated the whole hour's service.
These large and appreciative con
gregations bespeake the fact that
Newark has a church-going people.
It also indicates that the moral el
ement is gaining fast, and holding
sure its ground, on issues regar
ding the enforcement of law, and
order in the town. In this battle
for the suppression of unlawful
ness, the fight is not on men,
but on an illegal business in which
some men have unfortunatly en
gaged. There is room, plenty of
it, and a patronage for any man
who will go into a creditable and
legitimate business, and stay wish
it; a good living and money besides.
Boys, see your chance to change,
enter this open door, and see if
your life is not more satisfactory,
and a blessing, both to yourselves,
and your generation.
On next Saturday at II. A. M.
Rev. A. K. Skinner the presiding
elder will preach at the Methodist
church. Give him a good hearing.
The stewards will take notice of
this meeting, and it is hoped all
the official board will be present.
