PROGRESS OF liberal IDE.iS

How far liberal thou gilt is invading
orthodoxy, may be seen by sermon
which President Fairchild, of Oberlin,
recently preached in !. Presbyterian
church III Cleveland. According to
Prof. Swing, tie sermon "assgns to
paradise all who do right" eve, though
they may not be able to feel the truth
of the common ideas about the atone
ment or the person and office Of Christ, -
and may mot be certain that there is a
heaven or a helI;' and even ''if there he
minds which cannot believe that there
is q personal Deity, and If those minds
are so willing that there should be
such Deity, and So love the ete1 nal
right us always to love it and teach it,.
why, this being the right is What God
and humanity want, and this ATHEIST
will pass to the Fathers House."
Prof. Swing says all these unbelievers
''wonld have been consigned to pcrdi-
tion by all the religious ancestors of the
Oberln Prpsident;n yet that this SER
mon ''seems to surl'Ass a Il others seer,
10y me and coming from orthodox pull

Mr.. J. II. Drake, of the Sioux City

CLi(RiUDIENCE.

n clergyman, who became Il spirit
medium, is writing his experience for
the Relig!o-Philosplical Journal. Here
is his account Of his first experience in
Clairaudience, or spirit-hearing:
But in other respects besides writing,
there seemed to bc Il tendency towards
growth liz my mediumistic capacity. l
was especially DESTROYS OF having my
internal vision opened, that might
see as well IT'S hear from my Split
friends and helpers; and for Il while the
developing powers around me seemed
to be concentrated upon this purpose.
But it finally became apparent that
nothing definite could be accomplished
in this direction, and my hope Of it was
therefore given up.
There WAS, however, all the while,
preparing for me il happy surprise of Il
somewhat different kind. More and
more wildly conscious did become of
the active presence of the unseen ones,
until, at length. l was able to hear and
talk with them! l well remember the
time when the ':still small voice" first
made itself distinctly audible to my in
ward ear. 1t was III the deepest, calm
est quiet Of the night. Not Il sound of
amy kind found entrance to my extern
al hearing. had been lying awake for
some time, in a very peaceful frame of
mind, thinking Of the beautiful rr;.l.-
ties that were so closely around me.
though wholly unseen excepting by the
eyeof faith. Various queries arose
within NE rs thus followed on in nv
happy train of thought, until, all ut
once, Il gentle voice, with wo' DIS slight
ly, but distinctly heard. reached some
sensitive centre of my being and kindly
answered my inquiry! Iventurel upol
another; it WAS also answered very
promptly and clearly; and SO continu-
ed on for Il long time so completely alb
sorbed in the use Of my new power that
no further sleep visited me that night.
1t is very difficult to convey to others
| an idea Of this that had now expert
enced, it being the result Of 4 capacity
which has III more recent times lIecoMe
well known under the name of claira,l-
dirnce.

ing of the district grand jury to secure
the indictment Of PoStnlaSter-Gcneral

HE LIBERALS OF MINNESOTA

SHOULD FOLLOW SUIT.
A bill has been introduced in the H.
lin0iS Legislature for the taxation OF
| church property. The Chicago Times
approves it on the general ground of
equity, maintaining that ''only from
| five to ten pc: cent Of the people Of lii
nOi5 use the churches or have any inter
est in them, and that it is manifest ill.,
justice to the remaining ninety or nine
ty five per cent. thu. they should be com
PEELED to pay for that portion Of the
benefits of government which church
property enjoys" 1t is healthful
sign that the secular press favors the
measure ofjustice. 1t shows that there
is Il conscience in the press If not in
the pulpit. EXempting church. prop
erty from taxation is only robbing the
world to enrich the churc!,.-Duluth
Tribune.
But it is claimed that churches are
necessary to the safety and the good Of
the State. Now, we claim that news
papers are necessary to the education
and elevation of the people and hence
to the safety and good Of the State. 1t

THNaRANT ROOM

THE GRANT BOOM
The Grant third tefm ''boom, which
is worked by the machlpe politicians
and the money power, has beyond doubt
reached point where it looks formida-
:.:::6le. 1T is given out now that Grant
will accept the nomination if rendered.
There are many reaso us why Grant
should not be the Republican nominee;
l., Some of the wiser and more con-
sentative leaders Of the party think he
could not be elected. The people have
probably reached point where they
can, see that a great military leader is
not necessarily great statesman or
even an average one.
9. Grant does not seek the nominal
~ti0h. And if he did desire it lie could
not present single valid reason for so
doing. He has had all the honor which
any human being, however great or
worthy, should have bestowed upon
him. Two terms as President and the
homage Of the whole world, civilized
=. and. savage, is enough for one man.
H.. d. Grant was not a success during
his two terms. 1t was only the I'm.
bounded confidence Of the people and
tlsi:detern.ination to stand by Grant.
at:all hazards that saved his admins
trations from the severest condemna-
ton.
4. The fact that the ''boom"is work
ed almost wholly by the party politi-
clans and the money power should con-
denim it. They expect to use Grant as
they did before in their own interest as
distinguished from the interest of the
people at large.
5. But the great reason of all, and
the one which should settle it forever,
is the dangerous precedent which it
would establish. 1t is, rs Geo. VIM.
Curtis says, part of the unwritten
constitution Of the American nation,
" st,rd just as binding as any part of the
unwritten constitution Of Great Brit
ain, that no man should he elected to 4
third Presidential term. 10 elect
Grant or any other man to third term
would he to establish 4 form of Republic

CALLING and as ruinous to the people in
its way, as European Ceasarlsm is III its
way.

HARMONY or T<iY2'ES.

We believe Il want of harmony in
tastes, Il lack Of lively, positive interest
and sympathy with their thoughts, la
bOrs and trlumphs, by bosom compan-
ions, has been the chief cause of the un-
happiness that has married the domes-
tic life OF so many famous authors. n
