The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1878-07-18

ne may knock 20 pieces those other
works o. his hand. The atheism Of
the times has worked its wsy until
now il is trying 10 expel God from
our Government. 10 not propose to
make = theological discourse, nut I
will ssy that tie Almighty cannot
;hus be Ignored. To illustrate: Man
and woman are under no obligation
TO found q family: yet after they
have founded il, although up 10 that
time all has been voluntary on theIr
part, Il becomes q part OF the divine
plan, and the bonds can not be bTOk-
en- with IMMUNITY, for q stroke ct
them is a blow st the Almighty. And
IL is the same with 8 government.
True, we have the right to determine
the form, but after it is established II
il divine, and the voice of the magls-
trRte Is, for all lawful purposes, the
voice OF God, The walls Of JeTusa-
lem were the work Of human hands
the artisan pounded and hammered
even on the most sacred parts OF 1t,
and they owed their forms to him
but when il was done the workman
stood back, and the presence OF God
filled il. So when our fathers set up
! this Government IL became the adopt
ed child OF God, and rebellion against
! IL Is not only treason against the
country, but treason against God.
But there is 8 struggle coon to come,
against which must be brought to
/ bear every element OF patriotism and
religion within our confines. A
movement Is going on TO which We
/ -. II "A tho n
called war between capital and labor.
The disturbing element in this case
was not born on the Hudson 1t was
born on the Seine, and has no part in
| in our life. Eighty years ago, when
| the bloody commune OF France after
its march of cruelty and terror, was
finally subjugated, the remnant fled
across the ocean and took refuge in
New York, in Philadelphia, In Gin
cinnati, in Chicago, and in all our
great cities, And this element
has been working ever since
and Is working to-day to corrupt
our people with the purpose OF maxi
ing q French hell in the heart OF the
United States. There may have been
some excuse in France at that time,
as in many of the mOnsrchies of the
old world, for the existence OF such 8
class. III had lived there 1t il pOssi-
BILE 1 may have felt like them, and re-
beIled against kingly tyranny that
had become almost TOO oppressive for
endurance. But in this country there
Is no such condition OF things. There
is not boy in this crowd black or
white, poor or humble, II he has the
ability and the energy, but may ri 9
t. the top; q career is open to him,
and therefore he has no need to resort
to desperate and criminal remedies.
tell you this element Is foreign to
US, and when it gets here it soon gets
baptized. No doubt there are wrongs
bstween capital and labor, and, where
ever they exist, in Gods name let
them be righted But make all obey
the laws. Any man who talks OtheI-
wise is q demRgOgue.
II Christianity and right are to pre-
vail against this danger, 1t must be
confronted by three things. First,
intelligence, disseminated by the light
of our schools second, by giving all
the pIay and force to Christian moral
ity that it is capable Of receiving (;
and third, by using all our power to
enforce the laws.
But don't believe such people as
ours are destined to be broken down (;
It Is only necessary for US to under
stand q danger in order to avoid 1t or
crush 1t. And in the whole wide
circle this Is the only danger can
see. Leaving out that, l should say
that the coming years slOped forward
into grandeur. 1t would be q shame,
after all the dangers and obstacles
which we have overcome, to let one
undo all the glorious victories already
achieved. But we have only to re-
member, with the poet, tnat
Self-reverenee, selt-saerihce, and self-con'
troll
These three lead life TO sovereignty and
| power.
