OBB'S OBSERVATIONS.
What He Sees untl Hears During Ills
Travel.
Tho Thanksgiving season is a period for
rellcctloti and it was probably the
which had an ollect upon our townsman who
who sat in a court room recently and re
volved in his mind tho thought which aro
reflected In the following paragraphs as ho
watched tho court inothods aud llstonod to
tho lawyors :
It was said by ono of tho greatest of
Church of England men that law has Its
seat in tho boiunt of God. Ho meant tho
principle of truth which underlies and gives
character to all varieties of law. Interna
tiona), National, Stato and all other laws aro
supposed to he pervaded by this principle,
aud honco a court house has tho sacredness
of a church. It is entered with uncovered
head. In it ono is filled with a sense of awe,
and pays the samo roverout respect to its
forms and ceremonies that ho would to those
of a church. Ho would no more think oi
contradicting a Judgo on the bench than a
preacher in the pulpit. The lawyer Is the
ordained priest of justice, and tho court
room is t lie sanctuary.
This comes into ono's hoad as ho sits in a
court room under subpoena as a witness, and
waits day after day to bo called, not daring to
go out lest he be absent when Hooded. Sitting
there in tho holy placo ho watches tho priests
of Justice ascertaining tho truth about some
thing. When tbo caso is presented this
waiting witness says to himself that it is as
plain as a hump on a log. Then tho
tostlmony begins and tho complications pilo
up. In tho testimony ho can see on each side
preconceived opinion, personal friendship,
prejudices awakenod by tho dispute, and can
easily imagino personal interests involved,
oven if It be only indirectly, so that,
primarily, tho opposing witnossos aro them
selves plaintiffs and defendants. This waiting
witness who is in no way Influenced, having
just hoard tho opposing statements, and has
not had his feelings aroused by arguing the
matter previously, and is in no way
champion of anything but tho truth, wonders
after all what real valuo thoro is in tosti
mouy.
Bnt tho lawyers proceed to arguo. They
do precisely what the witnesses havo dono
identify thomsolvos each with his own side
Tho proof of this is often had In tho inter
views which the newspaper reportors have
with lawyers at the conclusion of some oase
in whiou thero is popular interest. Ono says
that ho was strongly convinced of tho justice
of bis client's oause, aud that his victory was
roally the viotory of truth. Tbo other, who
has been beaton, says ho is strongly con
vinced of tho justice ol his client's cause,
and that if tho court had permitted certain
testimony, or if tho jury could havo been
mado to seo what is as plain as the sun at
noonday, his cliont would have won; and
that thero is nothing for him to do but de
mand a new trial or carry tho case to
higher court, where thore Is more sense and
Impartiality. But the lawyers begin to talk.
One steps before tho jury and relates the
many virtues of his client, aud speaks of
"our rights," or "our property," or "our
privilege," showing how he aud his client are
in the same boat. And how ho does talk !
He tilks and talks and talks; then catch
his breath and talks and talks aud talks
some more, us if that which is only partly
true could bo mado absolutely true by mere
iteration.
v
When he is douo tho other lawyer ap
proaches tho jury, and talks aud talks and
talks ; then catches his broath and talks aud
talks and talks some more. Meantime, how
over it may bo with tho jury, tho Judge,
though following tbo evidence and tho
argument, gets lost, and ha3 to inquiro whoro
be is at, and whero tho lawyors aro trying to
go to. Maybo thero uro four of them, and
then each of tho remaining two in his turn
steps to tho jury box and talks and talks and
talks ; catches his breath aud talks aud talks
and talks somo more ; while tho jurymen loll
and yawn, or try by a vacant staro at tho
lawyer to appear as if they knew what was
said and were interested in it ; while the
waiting witness, who daro not leave, because
the next case is tho ono in which he is to
testify, writhes on his ohalr andooutoiuflates
suioide as a relief.
Well, the jury departs to consult on
verdict, which is reached after something like
a search for a needle iu a hay stack. The
truth has been piled thlok with contradictory
assertions and arguments aud the jury stay
out hour after hour hunting for a venliot in
this mass of assertion and argument with
which it went out loaded. But no matter
about the verdict. Has it not been said tbat
the Lord only knows what a jury will do,
and He won't tell.
.
For generations tho records of courts aud
of newspapers have boen the sources of
much of the most important aud the most
engaging history. But wheu one site for
days lu a court room and watches the man
ner in which those records are supposed to
reoeive the truth, and when one knows how
many errors there are In the newspaper
records because of the haste iu whieh they
are made, he may well question a deal of
this history. Obi.

CLERGYMEN and mem
here of several different
oougregations assem
bled in the Trinity
Reformed church this
morning to witness and
take p-trt In the union
Thanksgiving services.
The congregations were
represented by ltev.
William Potts, of tho Wm. Penn Methodist
Episcopal chuich ; Kov. D. I. Evans, of tho
Welsh B.iptist church ; Kov. William Powick,
of tho Methodist Episcopal church ; ltev.
William H. Harrison, of tho English Baptist
church ; itov. J. Proudo, of the Prlmitivo
Methodist church, and Rev. Robert O'Boyle,
of the Trinity Reformed.
Rev. Potts opened the services with
a brief, but very appropriate address, and Rev.
0. 1. Evans followed with the reading of a
lesson from tho Psalms,aftor which the united
choir composed of singers from tho different
churches represented rendered the hymn
Immortal Praise."
Rov. Powick then offered prayor, after
which tho united choir rondorod "My
Country 'Tis of Tiieo."
Tho sermon was proached by Rov. William
II. Harrison, who took his toxt from Chron
icles I, 29; 13: "Now, therefore, we tbank
thco, our God, and praiso thy glorious name."
Rev. Harrison said tho thanksgiving services
of to-day are analogous to the thanksgiving
offerings of the Israelites of old. America
congregates in a spirit of union to worship
God. All congregate to mako prayer aud
thanksgiving to Ills name. David gave a
grand object lesson that all the princes of
wealth of to-day should do well to
learn, in fact it is a lesson all
should follow. Uur gilts to Uod uro
not measured by the dollars, but by the
willingness of our hearts. The main spring
of David's beiievolcnco was that ho had set
his affections to tho house of God ; he had
identified himself to the cause of God. David
bad received generously from God aud he
nailed his affections to the cross Christ and
gavo genorously back to God, The humble
heart Is the soil out of which thanks
naturally How. David recognized the pro'
vidence of God and realized his defendence
upon Him for all his wealth, honor, hi?
kingdom and for his crown, and out of this
religious humility came forth the religions
ardor which burned in David's soul.
In concluding his sermon ltev. Harrison
made an urgent appeal for a liberal contribu
tlou by the congregation for the relief of the
Kensington sufferers.
Rev. Potts followed with prayer, after
vhich Rev. O'Boyle again urged a liberal
contribution.
Rev. William Powick announced that bo
had received $35 from one gentleman aud ho
hoped the congregation would add another
$25 to it. Tho colleci ion was taken and when
couuted was found to be $23.8S, which, added
to tho individual contributiou, mado tho
total collection $53.83.
Rov. Proudo closed the servlses by leading
tho choir in the singiug of "All hail the
power of Jesus namo," which was followed
by tho benediction.
