O. Btiver makes several assertions reprinted here, believing that the example set by Rev. McCaskill might be followed with profit by local ministers. The editor of the Reporter would have the reader understand that he makes no claim of * lilly whiteness,” but he is not in sympathy with any movement looking toward the throt- tling of ministers either in or out of the pulpit. If ministers are to ac- complish apy good whatever, they must be sceorded a free hand to work among their. people; they cannot be bounded by rules set by individuals or their church councils that will permit them to preach only and not to set, Whatever Christian principles a min- ister preaches from the pulpit on Bun- day he must be given—is given by the authority of the church—the privilege to enforce during the week days. It is silly to think a minister has no license but to talk when in the pulpit Here are Editor Stiver’s comments : It was a very agreeable surprise to hear Rev. Charles W. MeCaskill assail the wrongdoings of the members of his flock last Bunday morning at the First Methodist church, It is seldom that a real polite preacher of modern times will come out in the open to fight the devil and his eohorts, But it remaing to be said that Mr. MeUaakill brilliant eoutribution to the pulpit oratory of the day when he turned the search-light of ministerial scrutiny on the members of his church. While it has been a popular method of preachers to assail the devil in gen- eral from the pulpit in this city there has been but little specific sclivity among the vlergy in thig direction An open fusillade of hard hitting truths shot from the pulpit would doa world of good in Freeport but if this practice were to become general jt waottld mean either the thresiened dis made a integra’'ion of sone of the churches or the summary decapitation of the heads of some of the preachers from (heir fields of usefulness. People do not like to hear their own faults preached from the pulpit, Fhey like to hear and gossip about those of others, Quite mindful of their own shortcomings there ds Are diplomsey will scrupulously id to stthoutte the me jority of his congregation sgsinst the clear background of Christian en. denvor Ass general rule if there are in church the rather pay extra for a softsonpiog prescher, and it is marvelously incom- i= a lurking ger that a preacher schooled in the af av cussedness of 8 ROY rogues would prehensible to wate ful observers why more blind preachers are not (no greater demand. Rev. Met 'sskill is much admired for the fearless and generous a uount truth that he hurled futo caldron of hell last Bunday morning, sod if be like the of of the keeps things up there ia a strong lihood that be will have earned of the * caster out devila' before very long. ® wi biriguet Potters Mills.

In the canary breeding establish. ments of Germany only the male hirds are valved, because the females never sing. The method of training the birds to sing Is to put them in a room where there Is an automatic whistle, which they all strive to imitate. The breeder listens to the efforts of the birds and picks out the most apt pupils, which are then placed in another room for further instruction. These are the best singers and ultimately fetch high prices. Lived Up to His Belief. Hobo-—No, madam, I am neither a Socialist nor an anarchist, 1 am a pas. sive altruist.
