REV. VIM. E. BAKER ON Local OPTIoN.-The
sermon delivered in the First Presbyterian
church last sunday night by the pastor, Rev.
W. E. Baker, was upon the subject of Local
Option" His text was helanguage Of st. Paul
when prisoner-"I appeal untD Cesar" He
maintained that the sphere OF tie church and
that of the State were separate and distinct
that while not inconsistent with, they were
Independent of each other. That the church
had nothing to do with crime, which was a
violation of the laws of the State put only with
sin, which was violation of the laws of God.
That the church had nothing to DO with intern
perance and the sale and manufacture of ardent
spirits; but that the State had not only the
right, but it was It's duty to lsg1slate upon
these subjects. That Local Option was good
mode, as 1t enabled each community to protect
itself. and that 1t would not be u advance OF
popular sentiment. because it eoi4d not go into
effect unless approved by the vote OF the coln-
munity. That the State, as well Is the church.
was ordained by God, and the church owed
duties to the State and should suitain the civil
authority.
The subject of the sermon on next Sunday
night will be-"Thou snalt not stedl."
