Mckinley will take his oath of office on the 4th of March as President of the United States will be a very fine and elaborate volume.”’ said Bishop Ar nett. ‘The book will be donated to Major McKinley for this purpose as a gift of the African Methodist Church. Itis now being printed in Cincinnati by the Methodist Book Pub- lishing House. « It will be handsomely bound and lined front and back with silk, with a suitable dedicatory in- cription upon the inside. On the out- ide there will be a beautiful gold plate, in the form of a shield. on which the name of the President, the date and the name of the donors will be handsomely engraved. The Bible will be inclosed ina handsome box made of native Ohio wood and gold- ; mounted.”” ‘ The distinguished Bishop knows ley looks over that by the Bishop of the A. M. E. Church, he will frequently stumble across these words: ‘fhe Lord loves cheerful giver.” ‘Do uuto others as you would have them to do unto you “‘Remember thy friends’’ and ‘‘Saul said unto his servants, provide me now aman that can play well and bring him to me.” These lines will strike the Bishop more forcibly than anything else. The Bishop has several men who want to play many parts, some for retention and some who want appointments. When the Bishop and his_ bible makers become to know themselve: they will say to one another: ‘Wha manner of man is this.”" Major McKinley will only remark and call their attentton to this graph: ‘When thou giveth in g h, you should not expect anything ;return.’’ This will be a great Bible the Bishop will present to the Presi- od de and the President will find ny things to say to the Bishop that has passed out of his biblical recollection DEATH OF A WORTHY CITIZEN.

Rauls, a citizen and the father of Mrs. Sadie R Key and Mrs. Lucy Martin, and hus- band of Mrs. Frances Rauls, was buried fr the Second Baptist Church on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock Rev Bishop Johnsen delivered an eloquent address.
