The Rioh Man's Chanoe for Heaven

1t IS easier tor camel 70 90 Trough the

expounding this text the cler9 also ap-
ply it in its literal sense. as a aneans Of
inducing liberal contribution to the
church and various charitable objects,
without regard to what is mde stood to
have been the meaning and application
Of the expression at the time and age in
which it was used. They mferentially
assert that the rich man is debarred from
all chance Of entrance into the Kingdom
of Heaven, because it is virtually i'm
possible for camel to 90 through the
eye Of a needle-ereo. We shdnll all try
to be poor if We desire to eseape from
everlasting punishment.
As it is mostly the moral honest
sober, industrious and frugal men in this
age who accumulate wealth, the saquence
should be that if we hope to enter the
Kingdom Of Heaven We must give up
all energy and industry, and. lst each

THR BRIDAL TOUR.

Young Sprigglss and his Amar-
antha Jane had just been married,
and were going upon their bridal
tour. They didn't know whether,
upon their return, they would
board with the old folks or take
rooms in a private hotel. Being
only a clerk, Spriggles' means
were limited, and he could not
expect much at first in the way
of living. "Of course" he said to
old Dodge, a wealthy member of
the firm who had granted him
three weeks leave of absence, Eve

POLITICAL PARTIES.

In a country like ours, parties are
necessity. Every man is free in
the enjoyment of his opinions, re-
ligious and political. Men will
differ, and the diversity OF
expressed thought must make
divisions. Division causes sgita-
Lion, which stirs up the elements
which would be otherwise dormant,
and :hese troubled elements natur-
ally gravitate toward some center
Minds of q kindred nature are
drawn together. AS soon as a few
men are drawn together by some
common thought or principles, they
make a platform" and set out to
promulgste their views aud estab-
lish themselves in the government.
One party almost, If not quite,
makes second one a nee ssity.
Elements which fail to harmonic
with the expressed views of others
naturally come together and unite
in opposition to the other party.
Then comes the tug of war. These
parties compass sea and land TO
make proseIytes. Everymeasure, hon
orable, and sometimes dishonorable,
10 used 10 secure the overthrw of the
opposing party. One will win the
day, the other is doomed to defeat.
If the people are true to the princi-
pies of our government, the popu-
lar will submits to the expressed
majority. The largest number of
electors say such and such princi-
Piles are best, and the men holding
to them shall rule over Us, and the
minority, however respectable,
yields.
But the defeated party is not use
less. 1t becomes a very important
factor in the government. The mi
nority watches with a Vigilant eye
all the workings of the party in
power, notes lite mistakes, and de-
tects and exposes with q relish any
tendency to corruption. The party
in power must have absolute sway
before it can ignore the criticisms
of its opponents. But in this coun-
try no party can promise itself a
perpetual existence. It retains its
power during good behavior. Be-
ing in power does not promise any
thing beyond the time of the next
election.
Our government is progressive.
So the party which asks for the
franchise of our voters must be pro-
u cssive. If a party becomes fos-
silized it may expect to be labeled
and laid OH the shelf with other
fossils. A live people will not sup
port dead party. The party that
wants to succeed must study the
popular will, and carefully obey its
behests. 1t must keep abreast with
the times. 1t cannot live long on
"desd issues" for the masses forget
or ignore them. No party can get
and retain the ascendency unless it is
wide awake to the ever increasing
demands of this growing country.
After all one or two points must
be carefully guarded. While two
parties may be, and doubtless are, q
blessing to the country, q number
of fh ctions would do mischief. The
tendency of factions is to anarchy.
There is some danger, not much,
in partyism. Partizans may be-
come bigOts, and political bigots,
like religious ones, are a curse.
Our chief danger is to be found
in the ability of demagogues to
manipulate parties and make them
subservient to their unholy aspira-
lions. If the demagoeue can be
kept in subsection we are almost, if
not entirely, safe.

GERALD MAssEY's DEvIL.-The
papers of Loavenworth aud Law
renee are somewhat exercised over
lecture recently delivered in
Leavenworth by Gerald Massey
concerning "The Origin of Evil"
Mr.. NJ. treats the Bible as q book of
fables, and laughs at christianity
for dealing with q ''doll-devil.
But he believes there is "a real
devil living, working with a most
Internal activity, and playing the
very devil with this werld OF ours"
This fearful devil 10 not q fallen
angel, but Shadow of SELF"
We agree with this English lect'
urer in his statement that "God die
not make the devil" No orthodox
christian believes anything OF thu
kind. But we do not see that hi
theory helps us any. To our mint
it was as easy q matter for an ange
TO fall from his high estate ant
thus become "the chief OF devils" a
II was for man TO fall from nj
primitive state and thus become
r'living devil" After careful sur
Yey of the premises we think tn
sequences of the philosophical
logic lead to the very conclusion b
seems so anxious to avoid; this
God made the devil. But he trie
