Run in Oonnection- Largest ândT mpst:^ônveniëht* The Colum oi^ W ins. New, York, Oct. 4 .—With victory flags floating from her towering mast heads and the ends of her spreaders in honor o f her concluding triumph in the cup races o f 1901, the gallant sloop Columbia returned to her an- chorage tonight under the escort of the entire excursion fleet. She today completed her defense o f the honored trophy in another Btirring race with the ¡Shamrock II. over a leeward and windward course of 30 miles, crossing the finish line two seconde behind her antagonist, but winning on the time allowance conceded by the Lipton boat by 41 seconds. For the second time -she has suc cessfully foiled tbe~ attempt of the Irish knight to wrest from her pos session the cup that means the yacht ing supremacy of the world. And plucky Sir Thomas Lipton, standing on the bridge of the Erin, led his guests in three hearty huzzas for the successful defender. “She is the better boat,” he said, “ and she de serves to be cheered.” j The series of races just closed will always be memorable as the closest ever sailed for the cup, and Sir Thomas, although defeated, will go home with the satisfaction of know ing that his golden yacht is the best foreign boat that ever crossed to the western side o f the ocean. During both series o f races not an untoward incident has occurred, and Sir Thomas will return to England far the most popular of all the for eigners who have challenged for the America’s trophy. Today’s race, on paper, was the closest of the series, but bocause of thé flukiness.of the wind on the boar home, as a contest of the relative merits of the yachts, it is not to be compared with the magnificent, truly run and royally fought battles of Saturday and yesterday. The condi tions o f the race at the ' start today were yery similar to^ those of yester day. .. The wind' was strong and from the shore, embroidering the sea with foam and piling up no swell—the ideal conditions for the challenger. T h e “ W h i t e H o u s e . ’ ’ Grant New Trials.

Washington, Oct. &—President Rooseyelt has taken a new departure which will startle the old timers in Washington. The “executive man sion” has been doomed aud the “White Buuso” has officially taken its place. For years all the presi dential stationery .was dated from the “ executive mansion,” invitations were to the “ executive mansion,” congress appropriated for t bo “ execu tive mansion” and the bombastic and undemocratic name was repeated in every official paper on the subject. President Roosevelt’s first social Btep has beeu to change all of this. Tho official stationery now is headed “The White House” aud invitations to dine are dated from “The White House,” and not tho “executive mausiou.” The president’s reasons for this step are both characteristic and very natural. There are uuder ordinary circumstances some forty-five “ execu tive mansions” in this country, one in each stale, but only one “ White House.” It is tho desire to perpetuato tho name officially which ib historically and conventionally corroct that has induced Mr. Roosovelt to make this change. Som o o fthoold timers in Wash ington, particularly those who pride thomselves on their pedigree and love the lordly sound of tho word “ man sion,” are objecting already to the innovation, but tho “ plain people” op thoso who have hoard o f the change like it and commend the president for the unflinching Americanism o f tho whole proceeding. An Enorm ous Utopia. Now York, Oct. 7.—The Freeland Central association has just been or ganized in this city by Alexander Horr. Among the members is the Rev. J. S. Byington. Said Mr. Horr, in explanation of the objects of the organization: “ The plan we have adopted is sim ply that of a co-operative business enterprise founded on the idea that labor is entitled to its total product.” As soon as a half million dollars is obtained the organization expects to buy a township in Rhode Island and there establish an economic Utopia for men and women. Passing o f Populists. Abilene, Kan., Oct. 8.—Democrats and populists met in mass convention here and named a fusion county ticket. The convention while not o f general importance, was nevertheless highly significant as marking the passing o f the populiBts, in. this sec tion, formerly one o f their, .leading strongholds. It was tho first time since thor starting of the-; Farmers’ T opic —\Duty of Church Member ship.” Acts 2:47. There is but one religion, and that is the universal, natural religion. The v’arious religious systems o f the world are but different expressions of the religious instiucts o f the race. Christianity as expressed in the lifo o f Christ, is the only perfect mani festation of religion. So Christianity iB not only a republication of natural religion, but a historic, concrete, per sonal revelation o f life in all its divine and human relations. Thus the man Christ Jesus is the final authority in the religious realm. He is tho head of the church. And the church is the only institution that represents him in the world. There are many societies, secret and other wise, and they all have a place and a work, but not one o f them evon pre tends to be a religious institution. The government does not represent Christianity; it simply protects man iu his natural rights o f life and prop erty and conscience. Tho church alone is the organization that pro fesses to do the work that Christ has commanded the world to do. There fore it is the duty of all men to pub licly identify themselves with the church, and zealously work to build up its interests. • From the dayBof tho apostles down to the present time Christianity has been promulgated in tho earth through the church. As the mind of man works through the body, so tho spirit o f religion works through the church, the “ body of Christ.” As all invisible forces seek manifestation in organization, so the spirit of the Lord incarnates Himself in the church. Our forefathers were heathen; they bowed before Thor, the god of war, end worshiped in the temple of Druid. Why are we, their children, the lead ing Christian nations o f the world? Organized Christianity raised money and sont thousands of missionaries among the barbarous tribes, and thero plauted the Cross of Christ. One hundred years ago there was not a Christian in Africa, India, Chinn, Japan or the islands o f the soa. T o day these regions are aroused to a new life and civilization. Why? Tho organized church has established Christian institutions in the great centers of all these lands. One may bo a Christian and not belong to the church. But show mo a community whore the followers of Christ are not organized into a Christ ian body, and it will not bo a place whore religion is a positive power; where tho young people are trained into Christian disciplos and where groat enterprises aro undertaken for tho Master at home and abroad. Every great Christian movement has been conducted by organized Christianity. The great colleges of Germany, England, Scotland and America were foundod and main tained by men and money furnished by the church. Every great Christian worker has been identified with some branch of organized Christians. Chrysostum was a Catholic; Knox a Presbyterian; Wesley an Episcopalian and Moody a Congregationalist. To day the leaders o f Christian thought and action, the missionary teachers and preachers, and physicians in all the world are sent out and supported by some denomination. Thirty-five years ago there was not a Methodist church or organization in Montana. Today there are more than a hundred church buildings and sixtv-five pastors. Without an ex ception, every one o f these ministers have received part of their sujipoit from money sent from the east, and every one o f these Church'- buildings have been in part paid for by. money from the 6ame soured, not one dollar of this help would, have been sent here to make possible our Christian work in this state': had not ^ h eM ot hpdist'peopleT: been vthor- oughly'organized ‘ - thereby ablo to do systematic work. This is only an illustration of what all denominations aro doing in the whole wide world, without which Christianity would never have been ox tended outside of Judea. In canvassingfortheseven churches which I have helped build, people outside of the church have given me Uuudreds o f dollars . Time and again they have said that though they did not belong to the church or even at tend its services, they were in favor of them, and would not want their families to live whore they do not exist. If the influence of organized Christianity is so essential to the wel fare of society as to call forth such expressions of approval, is the man outside the church, however Christian he is trying to be in his own heart, justified iu remaining outside of the only institution whoso work makes society fit for tho homo and the children ? Tho church is far from perfect. So is the American government. Thero are doubtless some bad people in it. But bocause Judas sold bis master the olhor disciplos did not disband. I have heard of no intention of tbo poople emigrating from tho country bocauso there aro a few thousand anarchists here. Neither have I heard that our government is not necessary to tho protection of our rights, be cause they are not always protected. The church ought to bo bettor. But when a son goes into a far country and the parents know that ho identi fies himself with some church aud works in it, and lives in its associa tions, they are not apt to worry about bis environments. Some, perhaps, aro kept from join ing the church bocause there are so many denominations. But if one desires to g o to London ho doeB not stay at homo becauso there are so many chartered steamship lines to Liverpool that he cannot select any one. As all roads lead to Rome so all denominations lead they are only followed, lives whore there is a ship, I do not think it the communities intorest to be trying to sail in a Methodist ship that is a thousand miles away in some other town, or vice versa. Or, if there is a Methodist ship in a town, whore thero are those who prefer tho Presbyterian line, they had better sail under a Methodist banner than none. If we can’t light in our own favorite regi ment and the battlo is on, let ua fight somewhere; tho onemy is all around us. Yes it is a soriouB matter to join tho armies of tho great king of right eousness, but is it not a more serious thing not to do so? What of our children? We want them to receive the advantages of the Sunday school and church society. We love them too well to think other wise. I would not have my children have to look back when I am gone and remember that I was not an ac tive worker in the only organization that Christ instituted to carry on his work. The church though imperfect, is the Army of the Captain of our sal vation. “ The gates of Hell cannot prevail against it.” “ It is the pillar and ground of the truth.” Unto it have been committed tho “Oracles of God.” Though doubtless somewhat in error and imperfectly organized and not always harmonious, outside o f it practically nothing has been done, no influence bas been exerted for the civilization and salvation of the race. And because the perfect Christ is our leader and authority, in the future we expect to learn to be better disciplea; how to organize more harmoniously; A id land how to moro effectually make the “ Kingdoms 6f earth-the Kingdoms of our Lord.” Will you help us? Exclusion’ o f Anarchists:' to Heaven, if But if a man Presbyterian for his or is New York, Oct. 8.—Former Senator David B. Hill, in an article just pub lished in Leslie’s Weekly, tells about the failure in 1894 o f proposed legis lation in congress for the exclusion of alien anarchists and for the depor tation of those who had already en tered this country. Senator Hill was chairman of the immigration com mittee, and was strongly in favor of such a law. The bill passed the senate, but failed to pass the house of representatives. Senator Hill says it was not because the majority of the members of the house was opposed to the general principles o f the bill, but it reached the body late iu the session when there .was a rush of business, and a single objection preyeuted the meas ure from comiug to a vote. There was a hitch between the senate and the house as to whether the anarchists should be examined by consular agents or treasury agents abroad. Howev’er, he doclaros that suoh legis lation must be passed by congress in tho near futuro. He predicts that the next congress will take up the matter. T o Release Miss Stone. Boston, Oct. 5.—To add to tho sum of nearly $20,000 which had been re ceived by Kidder, Peabody & Co. for the ransom of Miss Stone, tho mis sionary detained by the brigands in the Balkan mountains, subscriptions will be taken tomorrow at Bomo of the church services. It has been suggested that as sub scriptions must be in their hands by Monday morning, persons wishing to subscribe should do so to Kidder, Peabody & Co. direct. Rev. J. Withrow, pastor of the Park church, and Rev. Dr. Lorimer, pastor o f the Tremont temple, who were signers of appeals for $110,000, stated they would urge upon their parishioners to contribute and send their contributions to the treasurers in compliance wit tho appeal. The time is so short it was urged that subscriptions should be made indi vidually. SCHOOL REPORT. Report of Choteau Public Schools for month ending Oct. 4, 1901. GRAMMAR DEPARTMENT.
