ga Sermon"
BY DEACON sLAsHER.

1t is part of the great, and in many
features mysterious, plan of creation
that the world is inhabited by all kinds
of people-people of different shades OF
color and different degrees of intelligence
The civilian, in his cosy parlor, enjoys
himself in apparent oblivion to the fact
that in some part of the earth the miser-
able, naked savage is shivering in his
rude hut or cave. The honest, upright
business man mingles with the busy
throng, totally ignorant of the fact that
the sleek, stylish man nearest him is a
thief. The jealous Christian sits bolt up
right in his church pew all unthinking of
the fact that the man who sat opposite
him at the last meeting, and who "conse-
Grated himself anew" is at this moment
in one of the lowest dens of vice, testing
his Goodness in game of chance. But
l had almost forgotten to give my text:
Understand therefore that the Lord
thy God giveth thee not this good land to
possess it for thy righteousness; for thou
art Stifnecked people. e."-Deatter07l
90.
That is text that should be inefface-
ably traced upon the heart of every
Christian. 1t is very important stone
in the foundation of the true Christian
character. The Lord does not give us
anything for the sake of our own right
eousness but, knowing our unrighteous-
ness, and unworthiness, gives us good
gifts as acts of loving kindness
What is man, that he presumes to be
stiffnecked? Our own observation is
that when the Lord blesses a man with
stiff neck, that is about all that he does
bless him with. Mans neck was not
made to be stiff. God never gave man
a bunch of brains to be carried at the top
of pole-so that the sight of man with
a stiff neck is sure indication that
there is nothing on the top of it.
The stiff necked man is a feature of
almost every town and village. You
may meet him at Church or market, in
the car or in the street-you greet him
with gentlemanly courtesy, and he will
to crush the very soul out of you
with one freezing look. But he does not
nod. He is evidently afraid of breaking
his neck. In fact, one should always be
careful to come up squarely in front of
the stiff necked man, so as to save him
the wrenching and exertion he would
have to endure in turning In our en-
with stiffnecked men we are
wont to have worldly feelings aroused |
within us. We are wont to be running
over, in the mind, such passages as this:
Better is the poor man that walketh |
n his integrity, than he that is perverse
n his lips and is fool"
We should ever have warm feeling
or the stiff necked man, however. God
made him, and if we do not consider his

creation as an evidence of divine wisdom,
we should at least consider it an evidence
of divine mercy and patience. i
The stiffnecked man and woman, are
imbued with the spirit of Christian felA4
lowship while around the altar or sacra-
mental table, but, let poor soldier of the
cross meet them in the street, and they
will greet him by touching his hand with
the ends of their fingers, and consider
very disagreeable Christian duty dis
charged.
No man is more earnest in advocating
and upholding the doctrines set forth in
the good book, than the stiffnecked man;
he may even shed tears over the beauty
of the example of the meek and lowly
Nazarene, who delighted to do good
among even the humblest class of Gods
creatures. Yet suggest to the stiffnecked
man the idea of visiting, and ministering
to, dying plebian, and he will inform
you, with freezing complacency, that he
don't propose to associate with trash"
This is not the example that has been
handed down to us.
vary made just as full Precipitation for the
sins of the man who handles the pick
and shovel in the mines, as He did for the
man who sells the coal and enjoys large
bank account; just as full and free pro-
pitiation for the ragged urchin in the
street, as for the wealthy banker in his
luxurious office and easy chair.
1t seems, therefore, remarkable that it
should never have occurred to the stiff
necked man that, in assuming superiority
over even the smallest of Gods creatures,
he is presuming upon higher ground than
the Savior of Mankind ever took.
Vanity begets stiff necks. Yet we
should all remember that the haughtiest
pride may be humbled; the most elevated
head is laid low by Death, and the stiffest
neck is bended in the grave; the most
selfish heart must crumble into dust and
be forgotten, and the most conceited
mind be lost in oblivion. There is gold
beyond the dark shadow of the grave, but
it is not coined into dollars there is hap
piness beyond the tomb, but it is not pur
chased with worldly wealth; there is en-
Z joyment beyond the Great River, but it is
not secured at the expense of making
others unhappy.
1t will be happy time when all stiff
necks are bended-even at the risk O.
breaking them. 1t will be happy tim'
when mankind enjoy that religion that il
broad enough, to embrace all minkint
within it's bounds; when they enjoy tha
degree of social virtue that will caus'
them to act toward each other with th'
utmost courtesy-no matter what ma,
be their different stations in life. 1t will
be a happy time when men can clasl
hands and repeat, in concert, from TIL
fuIlness of their hearts, the bright words
"Whosoever therefore shall humbl
himself as this little child, the same shal
be greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven"
And when time shall cease, and W
shall be rejoicing, saved band in tn
realms of eternity, we shall discover tina
there are no stiff necks in Heaven.

What Broke q Printer,

The publisher Of weekly newspaper
in Michigan before the war was under
the saddle and hitched to a wagon to
boot. He carried load of doubt, debt
and anxiety which would have crushed
the secretary of the treasury in one
brief week. A dollar was a cart
wheel in his eyes, and two cart-wheels
in the eyes Of his employees. 1t is
vividly remembered by the writer how
a certain publisher in an interior town
felt as happy as king when he could
send for two bundles of paper at once,
and it is more wildly remembered that
he never saw the week when he could
buy one bundle Of paper and pay off
the hands, too, in cash.
One day printer died. Perhaps he
gradually starved to death, or maybe
the anxiety as to how he could buy
both wood and four the same Satur-
day finished him off. At any rate a
new printer came up from Grand
Rapids to fill the gap, and his wages
were to be $12 per week. On the first
Saturday he got an order on hard
ware store for $40 and 50 cash. On

On the third he had to take Sc order

order for that amount on saw-mill

the books balanced, but he protested:

s.It was a Glorious Victory

There was really no question at is
sue in Ohio on Tuesday except the
question Of law and order, based upon
the liquor traffic. The Republican
party, by it's cowardly action at its
State convention, drove off the Pro-
hibitionists- that very small frac-
ton of them who are in favor of sep
arate political action.
Not only in Cincinnati, but over the
whole country, the influence OF the
liquor traffic has been seen in the
election. This gigantic curse is in
every township and election precinct
in the State. But the right must tri-
umph in the near future. The crime
Of intemperance is too monstrous to
be permitted to increase as it has been
increasing during the past few years.
We hope the people Of Cincinnati
will now be happy in their new lease
Of personal liberty and we will
close for the present with the follow
ing, from the Gazette Of Monday. 1t
is only one case going to show what
has been indorsed by the triumph Of
the Democracy Oh Tuesday:
Late last night some workmen, hear
ing cries in the sewer at the foot of
Central avenue, were attracted to the
spot, and bringing lanterns, man
was fished out Of the filthy stream.
He was numbed, and his teeth chat
tered so that for long time he could
not tell who he was. 1t was at length
learned that his name was Edward
Kelly, and that he lived at No. 153
Bank street. He had fallen into the
sewer while drunk. The patrol wagon
was telephoned for, and it took the
poor wretch to his home The patrol
boys are used to hard and pitiful
sights, but never did they have such
another experience. It was found
that Kelley lived in three little, stufy
second story rooms. His wife has an
liberated leg, and never leaves the
house. When one Of the patrol men
asked her If her husband was in the
habit Of getting drunk, she replied
that she did not know what happened
on the outside, as she never went out
The air in the rooms was SO foul as te
almost take ones breath away
Everything was dirty and out Of or.
der. The family consists Of four chill.
dren, the eldest nine years old, the
youngest five months. All are woe
fully thin and pale, with transparent
fiesh and large sunken eyes. They
are never allowed to leave the house
for the simple reason that they have
, no clothes. The Oldest boy has never
been to school, and having no one but
his mother to talk to and his younger
brothers and sister, he can not as yet
speak plainly. In spite Of his wife''
afiiction, Kelly, when he is drunk
beats her shamefully. Even the pa
troll boys, hardened as they are tx
such scenes would not repress feeling
Of pity for the children and the wife
who are virtually prisoners. Kelly
is a weigher at the Consolidated stree
car stables, and can earn SIT week
but he spends the major part Of i
in drink, letting his family get along
as best they can.

SOME Of the Democrats in Jackson

SOME Of the Democrats in Jackson
who are rejoicing over the great
Democratic victory" have boys. If
this great victory over which they are
now rejoicing, and to which they con-
tributed, should result in making
drunkards Of their boys, would it con-
tribute materially to their happiness
in their declining years? Some men
may, perhaps, be low enough to desire
their boys to be drunkards; but gen.
orally, even drunkards do not want to
see their boys ruined. At recent
term Of our Court man was on trial
for assault with intent to murder. The
evidence showed that the man was
drunk, and he had son with him at
the time, who was also drunk.
The drunken father testified that he
was reproving his son at the time, for
being drunk.

Sudden and Violent,

The change from the summer to the
fall season is so sudden and violent here
in the West that few can get through
the winter months without having a
cough or cold of more or less severity
fastened upon them. The seeds of
that dread disease consumption are
usually sown in one Of these much
dreaded months. Browns Expector-
ant is a sure cure for the most violent
coughs and colds, and will arrest con-
if taken in time.

Climatic Summersaults.

This climate is excellent for cough
medicines. When the thermometer
turns a double summersault through
forty or fifty degrees Of temperature
inside of oftwenty-four hours, somebody
is pretty sure to sneeze for it. The
household sheet anchor appears to be
Browns Expectorant, which is a never
failing cure for coughs, colds, asthma,
bronchitis, hoarseness, tightness of
the chest, and difficulty in breathing.
1t has been tested in thousands of
cases, and never failed to arrest and
cure consumption if taken in time.

Smoking on Street Cars.


To the Editor of the Commercial.
"Decency," in your issue Of the 10Th,
voices the feelings Of many thousands
Of ladies and gentlemen in this city
who are forced to crowd their way in
to the street cars through the fumes
of the tobacco from pipes and cigars,
and when once seated are forced to in
hale the smoke from the front plat
form ad nauseam. Such license is
certainly disgrace to the city, and is
not permitted elsewhere in the coun-
try 1t is surprising that so many
men who, in the social walks of life,
would scorn to do any ungentlemanly
act, seem to so far forget themselves
as to make their presence a nuisance.
On one line of cars the other evening
the conductor was asked to stop smok-
ing on the front platform, and he re-
fused, on the ground that the ''boss"
(meaning one Of the road officials)
smoked on the front platform.
The travelling public have rights
that should be maintained and res
pected, and / think you would confer
a benefit upon all concerned by pub
fishing conspicuously the law on
street-car smoking, thus letting the
people who travel know their legal
rights, and put stop to the impudent
of car men and officials
who suffer the city to be disgraced by
their neglect. A SMOKER

Price RpdUced.

Anticipating the removal of the Stamp Tax at no
distant day, the Magnetic Medicine Co., of Detroit,
will be seen by their new advertisement that ap-
pears in to-days paper, have reduced the price of
their medicine from one dollar per package to fifty
cents, and when twelve packages ordered at one
time, and five dollars paid for the same, they issue
written guarantee agreeing to refund the money if
the full course of treatment fails to effect cure
We have no doubt the Magnetic Medicine will have
large sale in every section of the country, few
medicines are sold at as low price, and what is
especially In its favor is the guarantee of its effect
ing The medicine is sold at all Drug Stores.
Guarantees are issued In Jackson, Ohio, only by W.
