However there is no goods allowed to leave the house in bottled form. I f you want a drink you haveto drink it right there.

The thapu-r iu ' fast week’s j Herald no less than its predecessors, , A just tribute is paid to one of the choir leaders for long, faithful and unrewarded service, George, a broth­ er of Robt. M. Jackson,' led the sing­ ing many years before him, and for the most part unassisted by a choir He was, if I may. sav it, a better lead­ er and bad .a strong) r. and' clearer voice, although ho’ was ‘ not so well yeraed In the science ui music. An incident comes to mind that oe- cured during those early days. It was a Week-day meeting, a large con­ gregation *was” Tlsseinbled7TmiT~the minister in charge gave out a whole psahu containing twelve or fifteen stanzas. After singing eight or ten verses, the singing began „ to flatten and . Jag. Mr, . Jackson halted but n secoml or two, started on an­ other time in another key, nnd car ried.the congregation, with him suc­ cessfully, James Pjressly, then pas­ tor of the Associate Reform congre­ gation of Cincinnati, while assisting -jRov, J.-' II. Buchanon', during com­ munion, passed, a high compliment oft the leader by saying that he had never beard his equal and if he would only go . to Cincinnati *with him lie could command a large salary. This was before the dity of paid choir lead­ ers. The historian seems to think- that the glory is departing or perhaps more correctly, not keeping.up with the fashions. He evidently has a.longing for the musical leeks and onions of other c.hhreh which he thinks are out­ stripping them, and must therefor a- Vail ihemselves, not ol the. cymbals, cornets and trumpets of ye olden time but tho. more modern musical appli­ ance, which he hopes to make up for all lack of spiritual fervor. It may be questioned whether there is really a decadence o f cl/urch music in its true sense; it may be that the praise service has not kept up with the ar tisdie operatic soiig service of the mod • n convention or even the fashionable city churches but does b follow that there has been a decadence of thei true spiritual worship. “ They that worship Him must worship him in Spirit and in truth.” In the days preceding the agitation of this phase of church music in churches that formed -the .U. I* church, there Wits a literary society in Cedurville. This was during the early days of Dr. Morton’s pastorate* J* F. Frazier was in his prime ant was an “ old war horse” in a debate, Professor Fleming, refered fo iu the 0 . P. church history, Dr..Morton, B. F, Reid and others were active members and the question of instru­ mental musjc in the church service wus ior two or more evenings the sub ject of debate; Dr. Morton leading In the negative while Messrs. Fleming, Reid and Frazier upheld the affirma­ tive, the question was: “ Since it was a part of the Old Testament or temple worship does It propeny belong to the New Testament worship. Dr. Mor ton held that the Old Testament wor ship Was largely a material Bervice and the musical Instruments directed to be used (directed remember,) were suitable to it, but not eowith the New Testament, it being largely a spirit­ ual service as above quoted. . To our mind the position taken by Dr. Morton has never been success­ fully assailed.- This now tod lengthy paper must not close without noting the success ful leadership of the present choir leader, To our mind the church mu­ sic of the Gedarville II. P, church was never better rendered. The con­ gregation may well be proud of their choir singers and to attempt to im­ prove it by instrumental accompani­ ment will detract from'1*rather than help the real spiritual service. I kuoW it may he rendered more fasimitiug and more entertaining to some who are only seeking to be entertained:* It may be that the very excellence of the performance will fie its greatest weakness. Whenever the manner rather .than the matter of the praise takes precedence in the mind of the woishipcr, ho is loosing the very end for which this service js appointed H kniiy K yi , k . WOOD’SREPORT- As stated in the Herald several weeks ago, E&umintr Wood, who has ( been going over tho books of the j Greene county.officers - would give to J the public rent.- -tartiing develop' nifi'ts. A dispatch from Colutimus states that there has been between ‘ 860000 ami t?7bO()U drawn in illegal fees during the past few years. The Xenia Gazette cxplui s the case thus:* “ Tho report will doubtless show- that there lntve been some unauthorized fees paid out, owing to the jniseoifcj structures of Lire statuIts, such as' would be found iu auy county in the state,” Has the overage citizen ever stopped to think why the Gazette fakes the stand it does, towjrds smoothing such tilings in this county? Other counties over the state are in the same fix as our own and they ' are being exftui.iifed by the state authori­ ties. Why has any newspaper the right to. defend, any comity or city official who takes advantage o f the law to further bis own interests at the. expense of his people? There are numerous items to be explained after the report is given out. On Thurs day, R. ' L. Gowdy brought Buit against Probate -Judge-Elect Marcus Sboup for Si 110,20 which it is claimed was drawn illegally while in the office of Prosecuting Attorney. Bix per cent interest ie-.irieo asked.

The Day of Prayer for Colleges was observed Thursday in .Gedarville College. The first half hour was speut in an interesting and profitable prayer-meeting led by Miss Lulu Henderson. After this the regular sei vices began with the invocation by Rev. S. E. Martin of Xenia. Rev. W. J. Sanderson read tbe scriptures. Dr. Jesse Johnson, of Xenia Theolog­ ical Seminary preached on •“ The Christ Ideal of Greatness" He ex­ pired the false ideals' o f greatness, told of Christ’s ideal and drew the conclusion that Christ is the best ex­ ample of true greatness. His ser­ mon was earnest, logical, spiritual and effective. It was well received and many excellent comments were heard about it. After the sermon Rev. Middleton led in prayer. Dr, -Mor­ ton coudubed the service with the benediction* Notwithstanding the inclement weather, the chapel Was filled and the interest paid through­ out was complimentary both to the audience and the speaker. . “ When men think o f their death they are apt .to think of it only in connection with their spiritual wel­ fare, .and not of the devastation ,in the . household which will come because of their emigration frOm it, “ It is selfishly mean for you to be so absorbed iu the heaven to which you are going that when.you are dead you can go out of this world not leav­ ing them a dollar, and yet die happily if yoii'cannot .provide for theni.
