A couple of ministers of the Dowie persuasion held divine (?) service in opera house, Tuesday and Wednes­ day of this week. Their discourses, all the ,way through, bordered on the rediculous. I t seemed to he tlnir desire to amuse and entertain their audience rather than instruct them in the truths of Christianity. Of course the gist of all their teaching was that bodily afflictions can be healed by faith. Right here is the great objec­ tion to the views of this church. In all preaching and talk'they dwell ou the heating of the body, leaving al­ most untouched the great principles of Christianity—the principles for which Christ lived and died. I f the power to work miracle is given to anyone in this world, we believe that it will be given to those who follow the teachings of Christ, more closely. *** Ha#t hamaisa A professor in one of our western universities has )>ecii carrying on a series of experiment# to prove that an ant can hear.

After the exercises had closed, in private conversation, a gentleman rallied Mr. Mann upon his statement, aud said to him: “Did you not color that a little when you said that all that expense and labor would berepnid if it only saved one boy?” “Not if it were my boy,” was tho solemn and convincing reply,” Mr. Oscar Bradfute thought the State Inspection business was a set up job. Stated that ho knew it would be a bitter pill for the, people to take, bnt might as well have it first ns last, and the sooner the “divide” was made among a certain few, tho sooner the question would be dropped. Hon. Horace Ankeney was present and made a speech. He favors re­ pairs, hut is in opposition until the ‘“ people” are heartily in favor of a new building.
