REPLY TO DUNCAN's QUESTIONS.
No. IL.

No. IL.
In the LEDGER of February 18th,
Mr.. Duncan gave me list of ques-
tions to answer. I have replied to
two of his questions that he evident
iy thought were unanswerable. I
showed from Chap. 80 of the con-
fession, as we'll as from the word of
God. (Math. 18:15-1O that the si'ss
upon which Mr.. D. so terribly stum-
bled, were not sins against God, but
offences against the peace and purity
OF the visible church, and as the SINS
are against men, organized in visible
church capacity, of course men must
forgive or retain the offences.
In my No. 10 have shown that so
far from ''infant damnation' being
found in our confession, that book
contains the only formulated system
of doctrine on earth by which in
fants dying in infancy can ever reach
Heaven. None of our race are in
Heaven except those saved by Christ.
Christ saves none but sinners.
Therefore, unless the infants dying in
infancy are sinners, they have no in.
terest in the atonement made by
Christ. But if they have no Interest
in the blood of Christ there is nc
place in Heaven for them.
But our confession OF Faith teach.
es with the Bible, that the infants OF
our race who die in infancy are among
Gods elect and are regenerated and
saved by Christ through the spirit
who worketh when and where an6
how he pleaseth.
We are ready now for another o.
Mr.. Duncan's hard questions. HI
asks me Where did you get tn,
idea Of unconditional election ant
uncondition reprobation?" I repi,
that the idea of unconditional rep
rotation is not found in our con
lfession of Faith. BUT the idea o
unconditional election IS in the con
fe-sion. but not more explicitly states
there than in the New Testament
But we have seen that the infants o
loul race, who die in infancy, embrac
at least one-third Of all who ar
born and we have further seen tha
all these infants are among God
ELECT. Now can Mr.. Durcan COL

ed, was Ulysses Simpson Grant, the
skeleton of circumstances to which
thousands bow the head in stupid
admiration. The pages of history
may be telescoped in vain for SO
supreme a change in fortune of a
man, as from Grant, kicked out of
the regular army and loafng on the
streets of St. Louis to Grant, the
military chieftain and president of a
great nation.
Obscure men have risen to the lead

Hesitation of superlative natural in
tellectual gifts, and recognized traits
of character which made them gov
ernors of men. Under some circum-
stances it might be claimed as evi-
dence of a masterly character, that
man should rise up from the very
mire and slum, like Grant, after hav-
ing been so long the thralI of de-
basing passion. But no such cir
cumstances marked bis career, for
when the civil war broke out in no
respect had he risen up from the low
level to which his beastly appetite had
sunk him. With a man Of superior
intellect it would have been other
wise-an appetite resulting so dis
as,riously world have been resisted
subsequently, and reduced to subj

been done nor was it attempted after
he had fallen beyond the reach of the

The Ancient Order Of United Workmen
rs Fraternity.

The fact that the Ancient Order
of United Workmen is an insurance
organization (though carrying the
safest and sursst risks) has by asso-
citation of ideas and appeals of preju-
Dice aided in creating and increasing
the too prevalent prejudice that pre-
walls against all insurance organiza-
tions, guaranteeing beneficiary to
the living upon the death Of the in
sured. The Ancient Order of United
Wcrkmen is not simply and alone an
insurance company. 1t is fratsrni-
ty in the broadest and strongest
sense of the term. One grand and
recommendatory feature of the order
is that it blends, harmonieusly the
sentimental, philanthropic and finar-
cial in one complete bond of brother
hood SO adroitly and minutely that
we cannot say where fraternity ends
or finances begin, except it be in the
final termination of life's career, and
the insured is laid to rest by loving
hands, whose greatest pleasure it is
to shelter the widowed wife and or
phan children he has left behind. Its
blessings are not burdensome. It's
requirements are not unnatural or
dictatorial. Any man whose heart
is not dead TO the widows wall and
the orphans piteous cry, or whose
manhood is not dead to honor, and
the sacredness of o Bible oath or
the principles of protection to the
defenceless and innocent, helpless
ones of his own hearthstone, cannot
oppose the principles of this fraterni-
ty or deny his duty to his dependent
ones. The darkest hour of mans
life (be he saint or sinner) is when
the dark angel of death hovers over
his hearthstone and he must say
goodbye to destitute and unp, owl
ded family whose home (lf they have
one) is not guarded by paternal
hearts. The church is the medium
through which clone poor souls may
be saved. But the fraternity of the
Ancient Order Of United Workmen
while it aims to build up your moral
nature when life is buoyant and future
iattering, yet when you are called
to pass under "the rod" and sunshine
is changed to shadows, when fevers
parch your lips and pain racks your
body, it comes to yeu not only with
its protection to your loved ones
from want but with the tender touch
of fraternal hands, whose greatest
pleasure is to provide for your pres
ent needs and contribute to your
comfort. It's expense is lessening
every year and Its membership is ex-
panding. Remember we have Divine
authority for saying: 'He that pro-
vides not for bis family is worse than
an infdel." To be an A. O. U. w.

Mr.. EDITOR: In my humble judg-
ment the practice, so prevalent in
our age and country, of almost Defy
ing the dead, who had laurels and
fame thrust upon them while living,
is slsmentable and should be depreciat-
ed. Out institutions tolerate no
titled nobility to bid for the fawning
servility of the sycophant, and his
obsequiousness must need find ex-
preston in toadying to the popular
heroes of political partisanship. just
