heaven after getting behind the blood, and
we need the strength gained by feed
ing upon the Lamb. This sacrifice was kept
up nearly | 500 years, to bring them up to the
sacrifice of the Lamb. The question is.
Are you behind the Blood? No doubt
many scoffed or disbelieVed, but night Of
wailing followed for them. The only thing
to atone for sin is blood. Exodus xxx, 10,
The priests had to come to God by way OF
the altar, and would not dare come except
the sprinkling OF blood had hrst been made.
Doesn't that teach Us to come by way OF the
blood? Exodus XXX, 10 AtOnement means
lat one The Lord aod sinner become one
by the Blood. Isn't it absurd to think the
Lord will not fulfil His Law? There Is no
law without penalty, Levlticus XVII, III,
tod demands blood because it Is the lie OF
the flesh. and 1t was lie that was lost in
the fall. do not see how any can be saved
who think light of the Blood. When
Christ died on Calvary, lie was Just pour
ing out His lie for US He was
without sin and therefore could be
our substitute. We nave all sinned,
broken the law, ahc now the object
Is to escape the penalty, and that Is BY ac-
ceptlng our substitute of Lev. viii, 1924,
never could understand the meaning. Now
| think the blood on the ear, was that a man
can hear the voice of GOd-nO uncIrcum-
cIzsd one can hear Gods voice: on the
hand, that man could work for God, be
eonsecrated. and on the foot that be might
walk with God. The children of Israel were
strong when Goo walked with them, but
weak when ruled by an earthly king. Now
take the question home. Have you been re-
deemed by the blood? Have you accepted
the substitute? Ii 50, il 1t grateful not to
20 to work for Him, or to speak eontemptu-
ously OF Him?
The meeting concluded with prayer by
Mr.. Moody and the benediction by Rev
TheO Hopkins.

PRESIDENT HAYES is reported to have said,
lately, that the purpose Of his Civil Service
order had been much misunderstood that
it was not intended to interfere with the
exercise of the office holders freedom to
share to proper extent in the conduct OF
politics after nominations have been made /;
but to prevent prominent and offensive in
reference with caucuses and nominating
conventions. That, of course, is all right,
The trouble with the order, is that it ex-
presses good deal more than this. Words
are things, in an order of this kind and In
terms the order forbids perfectly proper par
ticipatiOn in caucuses and conventions on
the part Of federal ofice-holders. The order
issued by President Harrison, when Daniel
Webster was Secretary Of State, has
been held up as a precedent and Jus
tifcation for the order now in force.
But that was quite different affair.
1t notified federal oficeholders that secret
and unmanly manipulation of nominating
conventions, and course in politics which
should constitute an interference with the
freedom of elections, on the part of federal
officials, would be deemed sufficient cause for
dismission. An order similar to that, az
plicable to cases of offensive dietation or
oficious interference with politics, on the
part of United States officials, would have
been timely and useful The present sweep
ing and unfortunate rule goes a good deal
further. 1t prohibits all connection with
the management or control Of aueuScS and
conventions. Suppose Collector Wells, OF
this State, who has never put himself for
ward in politics, and has never lifted finger
to crowd nomination of his own unon the
party, were to be present in a caucus, and,
in accordance with the wish and vote
of every voter in tie caucus, were to
were to preside with the utmost
delicacy and fairness. expressing no opinion
and not influencing the nomi lations save by
his individual yote-would he be doing any
thing out of the line of his duty as citizen
We think not lie would be simply taking
the share in political action which is the
duty of every voter, But if he were to do
this, it would be cause for his prompt re-
moyal under the Presidents order. The
simple attaching of an ofice-holder's name to
call for a political convention, which is
certainly very mild form of interference
with the freedom Of elections, has been made
cause Tor removal under it.
The order showed want of practical
tact on the part of some Of the Presidents
advisers which is anything but reassuring
and it is working badly. If the President
meant no more by it than he is now reported
to have said he meant, the sooner the order
is modified to make its terms and intent
agree, the better.

FARM Ralla is.

The course Of the Democrats of the House
of Representatives, in sustaining the clerk in
emitting from the roll OF Representatives the
name Of Mr.. Belfori, who presented GER
tifcite in the usual form from the Governor
of Colorado, that he had been duly elected as
the Representative of that State in Congress,
illustrates the practical disregard of the
Democrats for their favOrite theory of State
rights, when It comes in conflict with party
interests. The pretence is that Mr. Bedford
was not duly elected, because the election
should have been held on another day. All
parties understood that the representative
was to be elected in October. They canvass
ed the State with that understanding, nom-
mated candidates, and voted for them
About twenty-six thousand votes were cast,
Of which the Republican candidate received
nearly Fourteen thousand, and the Democra:
about twelve thousand. The Governor set
forth these facts in his certificate But
somebody aiterward discovered that plausi-
bic argument could be made for holding the
election Of a Representative in November.
No official notice, however, was given of an
election for that purpose. The Democrats in
general were Indifferent OF increduous, but
on election day about two thousand of them
thought 1t bet to save the point for what
ever it might he worth, and 50 voted for the
Democrat. No Republicans voted And
