miss our text ''Ne monkeyes pas avia VI
ssiy de buzz" which translated from ;h,
0 original French means, do not monkey will
the saw when it is buzzing, and proceed
with our discourse, which has no connec-
, ton with either the Introductory or the text
We were, my friends, speaking of the new
city governmc At. The inspiration Of all
government is rom the Divine Ruler. Thi.
, is His day, bu His people, per Sc, will not
rule Wichita TO any alarming extent this
load Of poles. The foxes have holes and the
birds of the al nests, and we, beloved have
our churches and drug stores; therefore,
cast not your pearls before swine
but be Y wise a doves
and harmless as a garter snake; for the hairs
of all your head5-except the bald heads
are numbered, and the tree is known by the
company it keeps. 1t is easier for a camel
to do the eve and needle trick than for anv
good thing to come Of a Mugwump. The
Sabbath was made for man, but no mention
Is made In the bible of the men who beat
our ticket last Tuesday. What God hath

fought good fight, finished the course and
kept the faith, and simply got cleaned out.
Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, but
ve find no promise or provision for those
who everlastingly wiped the earth with all
of US, my beloved, last Tuesday.
And this, brethren, bring US TO the third
and last subdivision of our discourse: for
what is a man profted ii he shall gam the
whole world and be elected to an Office in
Wichita to boot, If he lose his own soul?
Obviously he would in thus strainiug
at a knat and swallowing a
camel get left, or be gobbled up in the twin
king Of an eye by him who goes roaming
about the earth with corner on birthstone.
We find it a little hard to slide from the sec
ond to the third subdivision of our dis
course as you perceive; still if you resist the
devil he VIII flee from you, but YOU want to
be certain that all your side has been regis

Lastly, the law of this world is friendship; |
it is the highway to universal good, and the |
promise of the next world comes onl- from |
one source. Churches are only built and |
worshipped in because of the hope and faith |
that there is another better world, where |
there are no strifes either fer bread or for a |
seat in the city council; no chickering's. envy
ings, or the one side pulling against the
other. Glimpses OF the other life can.
it is perfectly evident, only be caught by |
the mind that possesses religious sentiments.
DO not, therefore, dear reader, smother this
sentiment which arises in every soul, bv /
consuming all the minutes and hours and |
DAYS in wild exciting endeavors to either get
more money an5 more property or to &c;
some office of imaginary honors. BE the

We are either the children II God or of

in man whom We know Is
