Among the political signs this is
related: A democratic lawyer of Chi
cage, being interviewed by a promin-
ent republican the other day, said: Il
never voted the republican ticket in
my life; | have always voted the dem
ocratic ticket, but | am going to vote
for James G. Bla ne, and | know of
twenty-five democratic lawyers Of this
city who will do the same thing"
"Why?" asked the gentleman. 'Be-

the nation today. We want him. He's

An independent Takes Water.

Carl Schurz, editor of the Westlische
Post, who was one of the first to bolt
the Republican ticket and who favor
Cleveland before the nomination takes
water beautifully and even gracefully.
In the last issue of his paper he has
the following:
The strongest candidate has been
nominated by the Democrats, and we
retract nothing Of the good words we
have said concerning him. But the
more we tried to familiarize ourselves
with the idea of Democrat at the
head of our national administration
the less were we able to reconcile our
selves to it. The longer this was agi-
tated upon us much the more vivid
became the "reminiscences of the past,
and today we do not find that we are
justified in making any guarantee that
a Democrat, be his name Grover
Cleveland, even, would present an
uncompromising front under all cir
cumstances, to the menacing onslaught
of the Southern brigadiers We have
criticised the Republican ticket thus
far freely, but admit now with equal
freedom that we have erred. We ex-
pected Of the other party what the
Republican party can best perform.
Republicans can do no better than to
remain true TO their ticket.

Church or Bible-Which ?
BY REV. Il. Il. HAYES, D. D.

Is the Church, or any branch of it,
greater than its Head-Christ "What
singular question:" some will say.
Yes, but is there no reason for it? One
illustration will serve for the answer. 1t
is found in what is called, "close COM
munion.' One branch of the Church
forbids its members to commune with
other acknowledged Christians. Why
Is it law of Christ? Or, of the Bible
We are told that not merely baptism,
but one exclusive mode of baptism, is es-
sential for approaching the Lords table.
But, take the Bible; search it all through,
and find one such teaching. It is not
therel Don't misunderstood. Our Lord
did command baptism. Every one who
processes to obey Him, should be bap-

This mode is unknown to the Bible.
Christ never once commanded immersion.
But branch of His Church commands
it and insists upon it as essential. Which
is greater?
The proposition, set over against i'm
mersion, is That those who have had
water applied to them, by a minister Of
Christ, in the name OF the Father, and OF
the Son, and Of the Holy Ghost, hare
been baptized. NV, as there is no COM
mand for, nor example of immersion in
the Bible, the demand for immersion, as
prerequisite for the Lords table, is
without Divine warrant. It is based
entirely upon the human views Of a

mas, Horace, Seneca, Virgil, Strabo, and
Tacitus. But then as now the true, tried,
divine, and invincible weapon was the
sword of the Spirit-the word of God
the testimony of Jesus. 1t was the "glo-
rious gospel of the blessed God" which
Paul was ready to preach to them that
are in Rome also" 1t was by sound
doctrine, as he had been taught, and not

vince the gainsayers" The Church is now
in danger of becoming possessed with one
idea, that of conciliating the wisdom of
this world-the cultivated and learned
sinners who condescend to listen to her
ministry, and overlooking the ;lliterate
whose ignorance and simplicity are never
disturbed by the vagaries of infdelity,
save when some ambitious sermon flashes
upon their darkness the torch of science.
The gospel is the divine remedy, "the
wisdom and power of God unto saliva
ton" and it alone can satisfy soul, ig-
norant or learned, crying out under a
sense of helpless guilt for light and par
don and peace and hope and God.
Let us have men who, with all the
wealth of learning can, at proper times
and places, lay bare to the very bottom
the fctions of infdel scientists but let
such topics be relegated to the pastor, or
magazines, or rostrums, or chairs of sci
ence and philosophy-and the gospel and
gospel only be given from the pulpit to
the helpless, undone, and almost damned
sinner; and license any ardent. loving,
consecrated man apt to teach and called
of God, to go and tell perishing souls the
cold, old story of Jesus and his love-"
The duty of the Church in respect to
candidates for the ministry, as we find it
in the Bible, is three-fold:
l. Caution. clay hands suddenly on
no man" While the Church should move
with all the precipitancy of the gospel in
its efforts to save souls, yet in the selec-
ton of the instruments she should be as
sure, as it is possible for fallible society
to be, that the man who offers is quail
fed and called of God
2. The Church must try, prove the
candidate. "Let these also be first
proved, says Paul. This necessitates an
examination and testing of knowledge
ability, and aptness to teach, and for this
parts of trial. tests of knowledge, com.
potency, and gifts.
3. The Church is bound to provide for
its candidates when necessary, that train
ing which it is pertinent to the qualifca-
tons prescribed by Scripture for ordina-
ton. And here one would suggest that
much of this training might be profta,
bly, delayed till licensure, and while the
candidate is trying his gifts for preaching
he might be storing his mind with knowl.
edge, and thus the evils of a continuous
training at the seminary be avoided, and
the common sense of the candidate be
saved by contact with the world and the
practical application of his knowledge
We close with emphasizing that one
should rigidly adhere to the Bible stan.
dard. With thus saith the Lord, for
our methods and baptism of the Holy
Ghost, and Church steadily looking to
Jesus, we may boldly and hopefully ad-
vance upon the battlements of Satan.
