Sermon by Rev. 0. @. stonbreaker,
REPORTED FOR THE TELEGRAPH.


The following are true extracts from
the sermon of Rev. O. G.. Stonebreaker,
delivered at the Baptist Tabernacle on
Sunday last, and published by special
request:
After delivering an eloquent and
elaborate prayer, Mr.. Stonebreaker
spoke as follows: Men and brethren,
man is naturally religious being, that
is, man seeks some object of alteration,
of reverence, something to worship and
adore. This something must possess
some higher attribute than himself. 1t
may be a tangible object whose charac-
teristics he fully understands, or it may
be an invisible incomprehensible God
But if it's surroundings are yelled in
mystery, if to it is ascribed wonderful
power and majesty and glory, it will
not lack for adherents be it's teachings
the doctrines of SO called christianity
the superstition Of paganism, or the
dogmas Of the various modern creeds.
Yet strange as it may be. not one of all
the doctrines, creeds Or religions have
true test, by which it's followers may
know beyond doubt whether they are
living and acting in that way, that will
ensure them a blissful hereafter
through the ages Of eternity. PROBES
Isor Tyndall institutes the"prayer-gauge''
as test of the piety of christians and
their terms Of friendly intimacy with
God to invoke His influence, blessings
and mercy. But as yet I have to learn
that that test has been applied with
any degree Of success to mitigate the
woes of a single grief-stricken soul.
But my friends, | am happy to inform
you that [ have the ''trate TESTER" BY
it you can determine the moral and re-
ligious qualities of the man; by it you
can measure his honesty and calculate
his truthfulness. An accurate record
kept of any mans character for month
as taken by this tester, will show his
moral fitness to walk the shining
Shore" or to enter the ''pearly gates.
If he is true and honest man the rec
ord will show it; if he is a hypocrite
and has stolen the livery of heaven to
serve the devil in, it will show it. If
he is dram seller and put" ghtning'
into his whisky it will expose him. If
he is a yender of cider and lets the fluid
of the clouds leak into his barrels, it
will show him up. And finally breth-
rem, if he lis a good christian farmer and
pumps water into his mill-can of milk
instead Of the cooling tub, this little
''teste9'' will tell to gill how much re-
ligion he has by measure and by weight.
But with tears I confess, notwithstand-
ing it's truthful ability to determine
all things liquid, yet I am sorry to say
sand has no effect on it. / apprehend
the time will come through the wis
dom of man that the ''true tester" will
become more perfect, and I earnestly
pray that the moral attributes of man
in progression, may keep progress with
the truthfulness Of this tester through
all time and finally that he may enter
that realm where "testers" are TN
known and unneeded.

The Secretary of War, Mr.. McCrary

The Secretary of War, Mr.. McCrary,
writes to Governor Emory, Of Utah:
While not sharing in the belief that
the Mormon population Of Utah con-
template violence or resistance to the
lawful authority, it is deemed proper
to take measures to allay any appre-
tensions such as are expressed in your
letter, and in numerous communlca-
lions upon the same subject. 1t is the
desire and purpose of the Administra-
ton, by the use of all legitimate
means, to aid the proper authorities III
Utah in the preservation Of peace. pro-
lection of the rights of all, and the due
enforcement of the laws, and to this
end such increase of military force
there as may be practicable will be
made in due time.

in the festivities Of the OCCASION
Young America was excluded none
being present who came to this part OF

Kicks the beam at 1921 pounds; Of this
the ladies claimed 3779 pounds and the
gentlemen only PAS pounds. The

STREET NOMENCLATURE -

STREET NOMENCLATURE. = Much
inconvenience is experienced by
strangers in finding localities about
town, for the reason, that the names Of
streets to which they are directed dc
not appear on the street corners OF
other desirable places. Now that
Kenosha is beginning to assume
metropolitan airs. and in view Of the
fact that large numbers Of strangers
visit us every year, would it not be q
good idea to have the names Of the
principal streets neatly and conspicrt
ously posted up, to serve as induces fol
citizens and visitors. This idea is not
a new one, and has been mentioned
many times before by the press of this
city, but thus far nothing has beer
done in that direction. We respectly
suggest it to the City Council.

tress and suffering peculiar to pulmonary afrec-
tons. CHERRY PICTORIAL always affords in

Childhood, it is invaluable; for by its timely USE
Fmultltudes are rescued and restored to health.
