The people of Council Blufs possess more than a passing interest in the elevation of the young men, judging from the audience thatassembled last evening at St. Paul’s Episcopal church, for it was large and a healthy active intorest was manifested.

The objects and practical workings of the order were fully deservibed. — Although yet in its infancy the organization has a ‘mem- bershin of more than 10,000 persons, Its objects are mutual assistance and moral elovation of members and the reformation of those who ave the slaves of appetite or who are just forming the habits which will prove their ruin.

G. W. Grofts Urges a Union of COongervatism and Progress. THE POSTOFFICE BUSINESS. Its Increase Indicates the Growth of Council Bluffs~The St. An- drews' Brotherhood—Other Sunday Events. L Things New and O1d. At the Congregational church yester- day morning the pastor, Rev. G. W. Crofts, gave a very interesting sermon on “Things Old and New.” His text was, “Every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a houscholder, which bringeth forth out of histreasure things new and old.” He described the fun, tions of & scribe te be that of both pr serving aud proclaiming the truth. A scribe was not only o historian, but also a preacher. Ezra was a leading exam- ple of what a true s would be. He gathered up the sacred writings, ar- ranged them, gave the connecting link and in this way became a sacred h torian. He was more than this. He was the Lutherof his time. He wasabold r former. He brought forth from his treasure things old and new. Christ himself thus gave an example. He ved from the past all the truths needed terating, which were 1 value, he cleared them from the inerustations of time and traditions and remolded them, presenting th old things afresh. In the beautitudes many of these old truths appeared. When he suid “Blessed for they inherit the 1 the very words found in ono of the Psalms. In king to his disciples in the words he text he evidently intended that hould become true seribes. He them if they fully understood what he had been teaching them, and when they answered him that they did, he addr 1 to them the words of the text. They had been instructed, and their next duty was to he seribes. spe 1 There were some foolish enough to (]INIJI'I‘ ctically the whole of the s wise there were in the creation. and in the carly laws, some things which did not appear stent. with modern ideas if ires of the tossed to be consi taken literally. These tr past should |ml be thus ruthlessly aside. If yearsago some one in pa over the plains of Troy had dec there were hidden treasur the surface, few would h When Dr. Schlicmann dug them out and held them up to the i ration of the world, then the foolishuess of doubting heeame apparent. Theve y buried in these old scriptures antigue treasures of truth, which the delver alone could find, and which were ornaments to the soul and enr g for the life. These rich, antigue traths should be brought to the surface, should be used as patterns from which to copy. The di 1]|l«~uf( hrist should be both conservati ), a8 He was hoth. peculiar one. It was the al, governmental and _theolc upheavals. It was i delving, t ous, veformate age. 1t was essentis necessary that the example of Christ should be fol- lowed, and cared for, On the other hand forgotten that th things both old and new it should not be law of God was one of progross, and there should be no fear of new thoughts, or phases of truth. Our vision was more extended than that of our fathers. We stood upon their shoulders, and could get new glimpses of truth. Let not the eyes be closed to these new things. 1f fulse teachers tried to mislead the people, the crror would soon bo exposed. This was an age of rave intelligence. It was an age in which thoughts were tested. New ideas were tried as if by fire. Formerly the men were put in the fire. Now the ideas were put in the fire. No one was persecuted because of opinion's sake. It was the opinion, and not the man, which was attacked, Let no one, therefore, fear the new. Let no one be ashamed of the past. Let each one bring out from his treasure both the new and the old. et T. B.

Postmaster Bowman has returned from Chicago, where he went to purchase the new furnituve, and it will be here by the time the building is ready for it.

We were a little behind time. The most of the cars on the train helonged to eastern roads, and their brakes were not in good order. I putled out of Lewiston at pretty good speed, and when we struck the top of *the Eill' we were going right lively. T ecalled for brakes, and as we headed down into the gully I'saw the boys seampering along on the top of the train winding ‘em up, but it didn’t seem to do much good. 1 whistled for brakes again, for we were go- round those sharp curves alto- ;_mh(-r too fast. Then I saw *Slim’ up on ton and the boys doubled up on_the brakes. Bvery brake was set. and yet we kept going faster. 1 didn't dare to reverse my engine, for it would have blown my eylinder-heads out and done no good. When TIlooked back aguin the boys had given it up and got onto the coach. Then we came to the stop- board just west of the cuts, and we went a-sailing. My heart came right nto my thront as I thought of the iges justa little fartheron. The coach was packed with passengers, and 1 couldn’t do a thing to save ‘em. 1 told the fireman we weve liable to jump the track on some of those curves, and that we better get ready to jump off some- how on lhu inside of the curve, if we did. Then we struck the first trestic— it’s filled in_now, but you remember when we used to cross that valley on the top ends of timber, over seven from the ground—and we danced it in no time. I guess we were going fifty miles an hour. [looked at my firoman, and he was as pale as death, and I was just as badly scared as he wa Then I glanced back as the train made a rainbow of it- self on a curve and Isaw ‘Slim’ on the platform of the conch. Ile motioned to me—I don’t know how—but I under- stood him and his plan. He was hand- ling the coach brake himself, and he had a man ready to help him we would jump the he would his brake, and as the strain was re from the coupling to the next .lhn':ul his man would pull the pin, then th coach brake would be reset and the pas- sengers would be saved., “Then we flew over the next bridg and were coming to the most dang ous gpot on the hill, It wa sharp curve, and all there was hotwee us and (hn) firm houses down in the valley was a little strip of earth not If we went over into over ten feet wide. there the train would be broken kindling wood, and we had no jump, for rose straigh we drew near it [ Jumm].}ml breathing and thought of ‘my wife and baby.

Then I braced up and looked back. *Slim’ waved his cap at me and I whistled iu reply. The passengers did not realize that the train had been in great danger, but the rest of us did, Pretty soon we flew by the water-tank a mile w of Stockton and I looked at my watch. We must have been running a mile a minute, for we had made up our time and more, too.
