The Church OF the Future.

How long will it take yet until the
Church of the Future will be established
in this free country? BY the Church of
the Future church is meant in which
all preaching or teaching is strictly based
upon truth and honesty In the Church
of the Future the resources of the
preachers or teachers will exclusively be
reason, common sense, and morality. In
the Church of the Future the preachers or
teachers will find these resources only in
their own heads and hearts. The Church
of the Future will disregard the Bible,
which is not an American book, but a
product of foreign lands. The Church of
the Future will reject the compulsory
celibacy of The priesthood, because, nc
cording to the American principle of
equal rights to all in all matters of public
concern, of which matrimony is one
being recognized and protected by law
every man in this country is entitled to
found home and family. The Church of
the Future will oppose the claim of power
in this country of Qoreign) spiritual
potentate, because it violates the Ameri-

republican form of government for
every sta. state of t the ,-I Union. The The

American people. The Church of the Flu.
ture will live up to this freedom in this
country, recognizing no other authority
for true religion than the eternal laws OF
the human mind and OF the human heart
The Constitution of the United States, the
supreme law of the land, grants full and
absolute religious liberty and liberty OF

WHERE is GOD TODAY

This question was asked by the five-year-
old child of Gen. Thomas L. Rosser, Of
Virginia.
A blue-eyed boy while sporting at his play,
Asked this question, Pa, where is God to-
day2"
The man of years and thought could not reply,
And only answered by the saddest sigh:
THE greatest sages of the Olden time
Have asked this question of the earth and
sky,
But never yet in any land OF cline
Have we been satisfied with the reply.
We built great temples to the God we make
And worship something till we're old and
gray,
But from the aching heart we can not take
The simple question, Where is God today p"
Perhaps the little child might tell us now
Where God in all his power. regns on high,
Where wreaths immortal crown the boyish
brow
And worlds unnumbered shine beyond the sky.

A CLERGYMAN on Shayinps.

Rev. DR.. Paxton In lecture before the
Mechanics and Tradesmen's Union, of
New York city, n few evenings ago, stated
in few words many truisms. Shavings,
the lecturer said, were not of American in
vention, like whiting but were as ancient
as the working of metals by Tubal Cain.
They are the necessary waste of every
work. There is n certain loss from every
gain there is no building without its rub
Dish heap TO remove, which requires al
most as many carts as to bring the build
ing material. The fcwest substances
in nature are found pure. Construction is
based upon destruction. Every JOY pre-
supposes a sorrow. The door posts of pro-
gress are sprinkled with the blood OF its
martyrs, and along the way are scattered
like millstones the bodies of these who
have fallen in the path. We cannot get
something for nothing for every tit there
is a tat. The wrecks of rich mems sons to
be seen everywhere show that it is as hard
to keep as it is to get. Without toll there
is no substance hence the recklessness
with which estates are squandered, with.
out any regard for the tolls and hardships
that had to be undergone to procure them.
1t may be lkened to the sacrifice of
human life at the battle of Bunker Hill,
through which the salvation of our coun-
try WAS procured.
