Essential Christianity.

| The following is an abstract of a sermon
delivered last night by the Rev. Mr.. Fisher,
pastor of the First M. e. church, on the
subject of Essential Christianity
Teacher:
''Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher
come from God''--John ill.,, 2.
Our age is impatient of authority Who
shall assume to teach us? Not assertion but
demonstration will satisfy. With special
scorn we repudiate the attempt of the past
to fetter the thought of the present No
man has ever lived who was large enough
to think for all ages. Creeds rise and fall.
Attempts to build churches with change
less creeds have been pitiable failures. What
right have the dead to dictate the thought
of the living? In the realm of religion as
in science thought is absolutely free.
But liberty is not license.
Freedom of thought means the privilege
not of thinking as we please but of think
ing according to the truth. To believe a lie
is slavery All error is bondage. He alone
that knows the truth is free in thought.
Jesus Christ is an authoritative teacher be-
cause He came to bear witness of the truth.
His credentials are:
First-His character. He was supremely
good. Specialists are authorities in their
departments Jesus was specialist LII re-
ligion. By the supreme no illness of His
character He proves Himself competent re-
ligiOuS teacher.
Second-His miracles showed Him divine.
By His power over nature He demonstrated
His divine authority. Miracles, however,
had their full weight only in the age in
which they were wrought.
Third-The effect of His teaching proves
His authority Man is elevated by; the
teaching of Jesus. Error never blessess the
blessedness of Christ's teaching prove its
truth. Eighteen hundred years of Christian
progress furnish sufficient credentials of
His right to teach. Believe Him, for the
very works sake.
Fourth-Each soul may test the teaching.
Man was made to perceive truth; truth is
suited to man. Whoever will test by per-
sonal experience the teaching of Christ will
attain perfect demonstration of its truth.
Out of hallowed life he will exclaim: 81
know that Thou art a teacher come from
God"

ROUTE no THE FRONT.
Lieut.. Col. Ouinet, Commander of
the French Troops, Passes
Through ST. Paul.

Lieut. Col Ouimet, commander of the
SiXty-fifth corps of French troops, now sta
toned on the Northwestern frontier, passed
through st. Paul yesterday from Ottawa,
en- route to the scene of the half-breed re-
bellion.
Col Ouimet,a tall. neutrality-suspicious.
and soldierly-lOoking man. was seen at the
Merchants hotel by GLOBE reporter yes
terday afternoon, and in responding to in
quirieS he said:
Il am on my way to the frontier, having
been absent from the troops n few days in
Canada. expect to leave tonight for Cal
gary and from there proceed direct to my
regiment"
what do you think of the recent en-
gagement?"
''Well, | am not in position to say
much about 1t, as most of my information
has been gained from the newspapers. One
thing is pretty certain, and that is that Gen.
Middleton got the best of the rebels; he
has kept his ground and succeeded in driv-
ing them back.
''There has been some talk about your
not having been satisfied with the ammuni-
ton provided"
That is all sheer nonsense; the quality
the ammunition is tirSt-claSS; we simply
de a demand for a larger quantity
.ough. at least, for campaign purposes.
don't know why it is, but somehow there
seems to be Il disposition to place anything
that happens out there to the diScredit of
the French troops. Ny troops represent
the flower of the French Canadians; they
are young men accustomed to all the luxu-
res of civilized life. and yet they have
stood the harlShipS of the campaign like
good soldiers and there has not been muir

The SiXty-SiNth anniversary of the IN
auguration OF Oddfellowship in the United
States was celebrated in appropriate man

At $50 o'clock fully zoo members of the
several lodges in this city assembled at OSd

and marched from thence 70 the

with large attendance of citizens. to a
highly instructive and interesting sermon
by its pastor. Rev. Mr.. Forbes, who is an
hOuored member OF that order.
The pulpit platform was beautifully orna-

SAW cox,s SUCCESSOR.
Tom Grady. the Fiery Enemy of
Cleveland, Probably the Man.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The question
of a successor to Sunset Cox in congress on
his retirement to Turker as United States
minister is somewhat agtating to local pol
itics. and the outcome likely to be an IT.
ritation to President Cle'eland. The Sixth
congressional district, which Mr.. Cox rep
resented for so many y,ars unopposed, is
overwhelmingly Democratic. and its control
is by Tammany, which originally brought
Cox from Ohio expressly o be its congress-
man. The services whichMr Cox was to
render for Tammany inreturn were ora
tOrical. He was to speak rom the stump
during campaigns, and frdn the platform
of Tammany hall ON celebRtory occasions.
Such was the understanding between him
and John Kelly. Mr.. Cor performed his
part of the contract satifactorily-even
brilliantly-and was never called on to do
any other political
WORK FOR THE PATRY.
Now that he is going to Civ, up the posi-
ton the same policy which dictated the
compact with him Will be followed in
choosing his successor. The most available
candidate is Tom Grady, by reason of his
remarkable gift of orat,ry. He is known
to New Workers as ''Siiyer-tOngue Grady, :"
and his voice has. within the last five years,
been most popular among Tammany speak
ers. He is prOtege OF Kelly, and the be-
lief is that on him the honor viii be placed.
Here comes in the interesting feature of the
case. Grady is a hate of the president.
When Grady was in The state assembly and
Cleveland was goveTnG letter was
WRITTEN TO pHS KELLY
by Cleveland asking as a personal favor
that denomination b. not given TO Grady.
The reason assigned was that Grady had,
during his term. ADVOCATED bad measures.
hindered good ores, and generally been
nuisance to the executive. Kelly promptly
showed the Letter to Grady. and had him
elected to another term at Albany. There
Grady took pains to annoy Cleveland at
every opportunity. In the Chicago conyen-
ton. which noIniIRted Cleveland for the
presidency, the wiz opposition Of Grady, as
Tammany's spokesman. was remarkable
enlivenment of theproceedings. He subse-
quentIy made stump speeches against the
candidate. osterls5iiy retiring from the
membership in TsnInaBy for that purpose.
He viii go 10 Washington full of vengeful-
ness against the PRESIDENT.

been discovered. The amount Of 81, 475.11

Political Palayer.

With characteristic unfairness, the Pho
neer Press of yesterday assailed Comptrol-
Ter Roche by falsely accusing him of keep
ing back his reports, which, it was said
had been ostensibly presented at the last
meeting of the city council and then hurried
out of the way to avoid inspection. The
fact is that the detailed report was pre-
sented at the meeting and after being re-
ferred, as usual, to the committee on ways
and means, the report was handed over to
the comptroller for safe keeping, and also
that the latter might be enabled to super
intend its publication.
49,
In referring to the subject yes1Rday, Mr..
Roche said that the reports contained moth
ing that could in any way effect the cleo
ton, except that were it possible to publish
them at once the result would be highly
favorable to the administration.

PISTOLS.

We have ascertained the number OF
people killed by firearms In the State
OF Texas, in the year 1884, and find 1t
tobe 1855; Of them liO had tlro-armsupon
the bodies or in their hands at the time
they were killed, and only l6 were
unarmed. The adult male population
o. Texas is not less than 400, 900; OF this
number it is safe to say that $50, coo do
not carry pistols, and $1,000 do carry
pistols; of the $4,000 who do carry
pistols l40 were killed, or one in every
800 of $4,000 who do not carry pistols
only IS were killed, or one In q, 1000
If the life insurance companies should
make rate for men who carry pistols
and men do not, the rate should be
about sixty times as great for the
former as for the latter. The man
who has a iire-arm Is liable TO be ded-
ant or aggressive and gets into trouble;
the man who has none Is careful and
easily avoids the difficulty.
