Sunshine Service at Trinity. The first of the special services to be held in August by Trinity Sundayschool was sunshine service, this being held last Sunday afternoon. The program had for its theme the need of a bright, cheerful and kind disposition, and the songs were all sung with this in view. The children each brought a sunflower which were all arranged upon a large wire cross, which when the whole was comt pieted made a very pretty exhibition of the bright flowers. The attendfr\y t>io aftornrtftTl was 1 ? n auvv ivi vuv u4vv?mwm .? The first number of the Trinity Bugle was issued last Sunday and was used as a program for the sunshine service. Hereafter the litera ture of the school such as programs, announcements, invitations will all bear the date of issue, the number of the volume and number of copy, and will be known as the Trinity Bugle. It is hoped that the paper will be issued at short intervals and it will be the purpose of the publishing committee to make it as newsy and interesting as possible. The Sunday-school is holding up well considering the large number of members who are out of town for the summer. The average attendance exceeds one hundred and fifteen by a good margin. The aim of the officers and teachers and pupils now is to make the bona fide enrollment at least three hundred and fifteen by rally day, which is October 16th. The cradle roll department will be larger, as there are ?t number of children in the homes of the church members who are not enrolled. Next Sunday will be known as parents' day and it is nopea tnai many of the parents who never attend Sunday-school will be present on that occasion. Two Brothers Have 26 Children.

According to the statistics of th Lmerican bar association, new trial re granted in 46 per cent, of all th ases in our courts involving a pen entiary offense! And in 60 per cen f this number the new trial is gran d, not because of a question affec ig the possible guilt or innocence c he prisoner, but because of a purel Bchnical point of dispute in the coi uct of the case. Do you grasp the significance c his statement? In nearly half of th riminal cases in American courts : equires two or more trials to coi ict the prisoner. And in 60 pe ent. of these cases his guilt is plaii le is given a new trial, because th ligher courts hold that there h? een an error of "pleading and pra< ice," either on the part of the lav ers or the judge.
