People are saving: well. if the Lord did it, let il
CO." / expect this spirit will grow. | am
| highly pleased with Gen. Arthur He is doing
| splendidly in his new position. Had Gen Gar
field done as well he probably would have been
alive to-day. He was good man, but weak
| politician. am especially pleased with Gen:
| Arthur's cOncliatory spirit and wisdom toward
| the opposition. 1t is exactly what wished him
to do, viz: unite the factions of the republican
| party to the end, that the nation may
be happy and prosperous: Ny life ha:
| been rather a sad one.
| have no doubt as to my spiritual destiny.
| have always been q lover of the Lord. and
| whether l live enc year or thirty, am His. As
| matter of fact presume shall live to be
| President.
To-day, eighteen hundred and eighty -one
| years ago, the Saviour of mankind was born i'm
| poverty and obscurity. He moved up and down
Judea and spake as one having authority. Vast
| multitudes followed him. He cast out devils.
| told the multitude who He was and what He
came for-that God, the Father had sent Him to
| point the race the way to eternal life. This
wonderful Being had no where to lay His head
as had H no n mOney tra Hs had He
| never wrote book. He was hated, despised,
| and finally crucifed as vile imposter. Then
| back he went to the bosom of the Father. Du-
| ring His ministry He drew around Himself a
| few despised individuals who were as poor as
| in society, and were mostly fishermen.
Outwardly, like most other great events IN
human history, Christianity was an absolute
| failure. 1t was like seed planted and it had
| to grow little by little. Time has developed
| it into gigantic tree overhanging the habta-
| mankind and Paul, His great apostle, went to
an ignominOus death. This happened many
centuries ago. For eighteen centuries no man
has exerted such tremendous influence on
the civilization Of the race than has the despised
Galilean and His great apostle. They did their
work and left the result with their Almighty
Father. And SO must all inspired men. They
must do their work and leave the result with
| the Deity whatever becomes of them. The
worst that men can do is to Kill you. but they
cannot prevent your name and work from going
laundering down the ages. God always
avenges those who injure his men. Chrst's
contemporaries crucified the Almighty's only
Son, but He got even with the Jewish race
at the destruction of Jerusalem, AID. 20, when
| Titus, Roman general. RACED the city to
the ground and slaughtered over eleven
hundred thousand Jews, and from that day to
this the Jews have been a despised and
dOwntrOdden race. The mills of the gods grind
slow but grind sure. Woe unto any man or
men that persecutes Gods man! The Almighty
will follow them in this world and in the next.
Take my own case: When the pressure to re-
move the President came on me spent two
weeks in prayer to make sure of the Deity s will.
At the end of two weeks my mind was fixed as
to the political necessity of his removal and [
never have had the slightest doubt since about
the divinity of the act or the necessity for it,.
Thus far the Deity has fathered the act to my
entire satisfaction. He knows l simply exc
cuted His will and know it, and great many
people are beginning to see it, and they will see
! 1t more and more as time advances. I put up
my life on the Deity's inspiration. and have not
come to grief yet, and | have no idea shall;
because do not think am destined to be shot
D,,f{ 1,o%;s g.,
pass on and not me. Whatever the mode of my
exit from this world have no doubt but that
my name and work will roll laundering down
the ages; but woe unto the men that kill me
privately or judicially!
THE NIGHT LODGING HOUSE.-Mr. SOlomons,
the vice president of the Night Lodging House
Association, states that the reason the house
was not opened on Christmas night as has here
tOiore been the custom, was not because of the
incompleteness of any arrangements, but be-
cause there is no demand from the proper class
of persons to make it necessary. The eXcep-
tlOnally mild season is. no doubt. the cause of
SO few worthy applicants presenting themselves,
and the unworthy are now so we'll known that
they have wholesome fear of presenting them
selves for the benefits of this excellent charity.
The house will be in running order when needed.
