DR. GLAUDEN'S COMPLAINT.
A compln'nt ' against newspaper i :

of the consequent tendency to weal
en interest in church life. Some on
with tills as a basis rushed to tli
conclusion that Dr. Gladden's wor
was proving a failure , and a wholl
false dispatch was distributed to tli
press , stating that Dr. Gladden wn
about to resign. This was printed u
over the country. Dr. Gladden say

Healing In the Hills.
The psalmist was right thore'H
strength in the hills. They've always
nourished bravo soulsi and leivo of lib
erty. You can't enslave mountain pe'o-

hills. They lift up their he-ads to kiss
the heavens and cntch the breath of

Sinai , tlie mount of the law. There
In the wilderness , mid rough rocks and
towering crags. ( Joel spoke to the hosts
of Israel , led by pillar e > f cloud nnd lire.
As a inlrreir re-veuls marks of mud ,
soil of soot , blotch of blood , so the law
reveals murk and soil and blotch of
sin upon the soul. The mirror cannot
wash the face. It points us to the bnsln
for cleansing. The law leads us from
dark clouds of Slnnl to sunny slopes of
Calvary.
