of $3,000. Fifteen-payment plan.
This settlement is admirable and I have taken policies
with you for $10,000, or double the amount of one surren

Dear sir: By your hand today we received a draft on
the Equitable Life Assurance Society for $14,355.00 in pay
ment of polit ies held by our father, the late J. M. Patterson,
on which proofs of death were handed you five days ago.
A few years Ago our father drew from your Bociety the
full cash value of a $5,000 contract, so that his life exempli
fied the full benefits of life insurance, both while living
and in death.
Our father was always a staunch friend of the Equi
table Life Assurance Society.
On behalf of ourselves and the other heirs, we thank
you and your society for the promptness in adjusting our
claim. Very truly

8F.( H.Alt SHOTS AT THE PCLPIT.
Buffalo Express: A former base ball
player has been ordained as an evangelist
in Chicago. If anyone can bat religion Into
Chicagoans, he should be able to.
Philadelphia North American: Several
students at a theological school In Chicago
have Issued a long statement setting forth
what parts of the Biblo tbey do not believe.
At the present rate It Is only a ' question
of time when the preacher who believes
In the scriptures will be considered a
heretic
Baltimore American: William A. Sun
day, the former base ball player, who has
asked for evangelist orders In the Presby
terian ohurch. had been doing field work
for some time. He has a eatchy way of
talking that gets people worked up to a
wonderful pitch, and Inclines them Jo make
a short stop In their sinful career. They
Immediately quit batting round, repent
their first baseness and attempt to steal
home.
Philadelphia Press: Rev. Dr. Banks,
pastor of Orace Methodist Episcopal church
In New York, says that Intemperance la
Increasing among respectable women In
that city. "Members of the churches drink
whisky cocktails In publlo on Sunday."
That Is plain talk which tha clergyman
says he can prove In court. He finds that
the trouble arises In part "because the
pulpit has ceased to preach the gospel that
drunkard will never enter the kingdom
of heaven." The blame seems to be pretty
general.
Indianapolis Journal: Members of the
committee appointed by the Presbyterian
General assembly to revise tbe creed ot
that church are now engaged In defending
themselves against the charge made by
some critical brethren that certain pas
sages of the newly-formulated creed won't
parse." Dr. Van Dyke, who Is on tha re
vision committee, does not assert that the
grammatical construction of the work Is
free from fault, but asserts that the sacred
confession of faith Is not flawless, and
points out certain errors of grammar aad
syntax In that document. He draws atten
tion to these not by way of criticism, but
to show that no human work is entirely
free from defects. Dr. Van Dyke would
probably not make such an admission If be
were acting as Instructor of a class of
young students of the English tongue, and
It Is hardly Ingenious in him to do so In
this case. However, tbe grammar is less
Important than revision In the matter un
der consideration. To revise, and revise
thoroughly, Is the thing.
