Dr. Stephen Smith, on the same subject, Man is born to health and long life disease is unnatural, death, except fiein old age, is accidental, and both are preventable by human agencies." This is almost invai i-ubly true of death resulting from lieai disease. Careless over-exertion, intempeiatu use of tea, codec, tobacco, alcoholic or other stimulants are generally the cames of this difficulty, and indiflerenee to its piogiess io-sults in sudden death, or long sickness ending in death.

OFFICIAL RESPONSIBILITY. The deliverance on the prohibitory law of Attorney General Little of 1 Kansas, in the form of a letter to Rev. A. J. Richards, is something more than a surprise; it is, coming from a person of Mr.

Littles official position, art absolute novelty. Mr. Little, as attorney general, is the one official in Kansas who has the most to do with the enforcement of the laws as they are. He is not a legislator, he does not make laws or unmake them; he is not a judge, he does not construe law nor pass on their constitutionality. Ilis proper, legitimate and only business, strictly speaking, is to use his efforts for the enforcement of the laws of the state as lie finds them when he takes his oath of office.

He is not responsible for their existence or wisdom. Being in this position the attorney general is not allowed to make exceptions among laws. All statutes should have equal sacredness with him, whether it be a statute to prevent the killing of quails out of season or the selling of whisky in any season. He should make no discrimination for various reasons, but it is quite sufficient that he has sworn with uplifted hand that he would not. Yet in this letter now given to the world Attorney General Little advises his correspondent that he (Little) can do nothing for the enforcement of the law in Fort Scott, and in fact that nothing ought to he done; that the granting of license to the efiect that the law may he violated, is a necessity forced upon communities by their distressed financial condition; and to raise the amount of money which is necessary to preserve their morality.

In short, Mr. Little being called upon to lend his aid in the enforcement of law, proceeds to set out over his signature that the law cannot be and ought not be enforced. The prohibitory law is a part of the statutes of Kansas, and furthermore it is a part of the state constitution. It has been carried through all the courts of the state and to the supreme court of the United States, and its constitutionality has been affirmed. It has been ratified by the people at popular elections half a dozen times.

Whether all that was wise or unwise has nothing to do with the case. While the law stands every official in Kansas who takes the ordinary form of oath swears to obey it and maintain it with the constitution itself. And to incite and encourage men to break a law a man has sworn to support is a very serious matter. What is said here is not in the nature of a discussion of the prohibition law or any other law. It is merely a suggestion on the subject of official responsibility, dignity and decency.

No man is obliged to be an attorney general. If he feels bound by conscience to resist laws, he is not obliged to swear that he will support them. If he feels that license most promotes the wealth and morality of a community, he should not swear to support prohibition laws and a prohibition constitution. Kansas City Star. DOLLARS FLY!

August 1, Emancipation Day, was observed by the colored people of Wichita with" quite a celebration. Among the speakers was Mrs. Naomi Anderson, the well-known colored philanthropist of this city, who closed her excellent address on Etheopin, or The Race Problem from a Biblical Standpoint, with the following appropriate COLUMBIAN lOEM.

We come on this Columbian year And ask to be received, The praises of your brother men, The class whom you have freed. 1 low different from our fathers! They, two hundred years ago, Were chained down in slavery; No talents did they know. I need not tell you of their trials; You know how it has been, Forced from old Africs clime, By gold designing until. But there were Christians on this land, The hand of God did reign, Though groaned we neaththe fetters, We're thankful that we came. For over in our fatherland, The light of Christ was hid; Our fathers were benighted there Knew not what Christians did.

But now we hail that bleeding Lamb, We send our greetings high. We feel the power of God at heart, We know that Christ is nigh. lie's held us as an Israel band -Declared we should be free, While Pharaoh and his martial host Wcie drowned in the sea. I ett. Davis sought to rule this land, And could not heed, you know, The message sent: Lay down your arms And let the people go And God gave victory to the right; John Browns soul marched straight on And brothers fell in deadly strife, Mid cheers of band and song.

Thus Lincoln sleeps beneath the soil In yonder sis'er state; He was our Moses, and "twas he Who first our bonds did break. Charles Sumner next did lead the van Of equal rights to all; Here thanks we bring to all of those Responding to his call. We come with gratitude to all Who lent a hand to save Our starry banner, flaunting high, From floating oer a slave. Were free to vote as you may vote All oer this mighty land, And well serve both state and country As ustice doth demand Heavens greatest blessing here, Education, you will find, Will bring our latent talents up On a level with mankind. We pledge ourselves this natal day, If ever called in wars, Our sable hands shall eer uphold Our honoied stripes and stars.

This is the Gentiles promised land; Well soon cross Jordans stream, The walls of Jericho Prejudice-Ilere no more us bemean. The mount of Christ shall here be built; Like Jepthah so are we Your darker brothersjin the flesh, American Nationality. Then let us give to God the praise For all that has been done, For giving us this land of bliss, The best beneath the siln. THE K1 xGMAN MEETING. Dear Bro.

Starr: As I have not written you fur some time, I now send you a few lines. I have been at Kingman for over three weeks, attending the tabernacle meeting conducted by Rev. C. S. Nusbaum, assisted by Rev.

W. Farrell, of the Kingman circuit. Rev. E. C.

Beach, of Pratt, also did some good work during the meeting, and a number of others, whose names have already been published, rendered valuable service for the Master at different times during this effoit; but the main part of the woik seemed to rest on Bro. Nusbaum and his faithful members, who stood by him and worked untiringly from the beginning. Though eveiy-thing seemed to be against them at first, they trusted in God and went on, going from house to house, talking, reading, praying, distributing tracts, carrying the glad tidings of salvation to those who would not come to church, bearing the reproach of the scorners, laughing at impossibilities, and saying it shall be done and in the name of the Loid Jesus il was done, for God was with us in power, convicting sinners, converting mourners, reclaiming backsliders, sanctifying believers: and as the meeting advanced in interest and pow er we kept getting back nearer the old line of Methodism; and as the burden of souls pressed upon Us Bro. Nusbaum appointed a day of fa'sting and prayer, and it was a day of power. The meeting increased in interest until Sunday, Aug.

6, when it closed with a sweeping victory for our blessed Christ and Ilis Gospel, resulting in over one hundred conversions and reclamations, and about fifty entered the experience of perfect love. Sister Herrick was with us for some time, and did a good work among the children, leading many of them to Jesus. Sister Herrick is one of our Deaconesses, and is doing good work for the Master. Now, I know there is some opposition in our church to entire sanctification, and before I understood it I opposed it too, but it was only the theory that I opposed, and not holiness itself; and is not this so with all who oppose it? If so, let us throw aside all theories but the Bible, for it is a holy book, and let us as ministers and laity have it within our lives, in our conversation, and in our hearts: and may Holiness to the Lord be perched on every banner, and we will take this world for Jesus. We have no lime to cavil over theories while so many souls are being lost all around us, but let us have the mind that was in Christ, and that was to seek and to save that which was Yours in Christ, M.
