DIR. TALMAGE AND A BURNING MAN.
BY DAVID SWING.

That man who was wholly discon-
nected from any pile of fagots or kero-
sene or other combustible should, indi-
rectly and alone, while standing and
talking, become the victim of sponta-
neous combustion, and thus be con-
sumed from the face of the earth, is a
proposition found in one of the recent
sermons Of the popular DR.. Talmage.
The sermon proceeds with much direct
ness and simplicity, and thus relates
the history Of this conhagratiOn
profanity is worse than theft, or
arson, or murder, for these crimes are
attacks on humanity. That is an at
tack on God. This country is pre- emil
nent for blasphemy The crime is
multiplying in intensity. God very
often shows what he thinks of it, but
for the most part the fatality is hushed
up. l give you fact that is proved by
scores of witnesses. This last August
of 1856 man got provoked at the con-
tinued drouth and the ruin of his crops,
and in the presence of his neighbors
cursed God, saying that he would cut
his heart out if he would come, calling
him a liar and coward, and flashing a
knife. And while he was speaking his
lower jaw dropped, smoke issued from
mouth and nostrils, and the heat of his
body was so intense it drove back those
who would come near. Scores of peO-
pie visited the scene and saw the bias
phemer in the awful process of expir-
ing"
While it is true that no newspaper
has ever been guilty Of doubling the
truth of any incident related by cler-
gyman, yet the New York San was nat
urally anxious to hear all it could
regarding this unusual fire, even to the
amount of fire insurance there may
possibly have been upon the tenement
and in what companies and for seeur-

The Rev. Pitt Dillingham; pointed
out sharply in a recent essay the essential
Calvinism of Charles Darwin's famous
aw of the survival Of the fittest. Over
against this latest affirmation os natural
science, Mr.. Dillingham; sets the latest
doctrines Of political and social science.
The multitude of human minnows re-
fuse to be sacrificed to make one front.
What Mr. Lowell, in his noble essay
read to the workingmen in England
names democracy" is the spirit of the
modern era in all governments, churches
and organizations. It is the great idea Of
Christianity, with which the instructive
convictions of the human soul accord
and to which they respond - the idea of
brotherhood which is che necessary COM
plement of the idea that God is Father Of
all. The antagonism between the aris.
tocracy to which science leans and the
democracy to which religion leads is
much more significant than the "hostil-
ity between scientists and theolo-
gians.

QUOTE SCRIPTURE CORRECTLY.
BY JAMES A. THROoP.
on. Pleasant, la

To obtain property under false pre-
tense, is held to be crime, but is this
any worse than to obtain conclusions to
suit certain creed, by misquoting the
Scripture? No less person than Rev.S.
NJ. Merrill, D. D., Bishop of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, in a book he
has published entitled, "'rhe New
Testament Idea of He'll" admitted as
authority by his church on that sub
jsct, misquotes passage of Scripture.
See the book, page 1873, where he says:
1.-The wise man said, There is no
work, nor device, nor wisdom in the
grave, whittier thou g0est;' and on this
fact he argued the folly of pOstponing
the duties of the present, and based
his earnest appeal, Whatsoever thy
hand findeth to d., do it with thy
might. 1t means, if it means any
thiog, that work neglected in life can
not be done after death. There repent
ance aud reformation are out of the
question. Death brings the night where
in no man can work"
Now, had he quoted the passage cor
rectly, he would have said,-'For there
is no work, nor device, nor knowledge,
nor wisdom in the grave, whittier thou
goest." See Ec ix-10. The word knoeu-
ledge would have proved too much for
his purpose; for if, as he claimed, it
had any reference to the future state
it would neither prove happiness nor
misery, but humiliation. Evidently
seeing this, he conveniently left it out.
And this is the kind of honesty liberal
|schristiass lsave toc5nteEd witaa.
Bishop Merrill's book, "The New
Testament Idea of HE'LL" l heard
recommended by minister of the
Methodist Episcopal church here to the
students of our University, as the au-
thority of the church on that subject. l
at once procured copy to see what
evidence he could present. have
carefully read it and can almost recon-
mend it as good text book for liberal
Christians. He gives correctly the
meaning and use of the original words
translated He'll, and when he departs
from them to prove the popular idea, he
is so very weak, that no reader can fail
to see it.
If that is the best Methodists can do
to prove eternal punishment, the
church had better give it up, as l be-
lieve the more intelligent preachers
of that church are doing to-day. 1t is
noted everywhere that they manage
to say little about it. So recommend
our people to read this work.

REV. DIR. E. l.. MAGOON, the emil
nent Baptist minister, whose death in
Philadelphia, at the age of seventy-six
years, has been announced, was in his
youth brick-layer. In later years the
first brick ever laid by him was hunted
up, taken from the wall, followed out.
richly set in bronze and used as an ink
stand He presented valuable collec-
tions of books and works of art to half
a dozen colleges, besides the array of
water-colOTs in the Metropolitan Mu-
scum i'll New York City. He was a
man of notably broad and independent
views, and though an earnest Baptist,
was a close friend of Cardinal McClos-
key, invited Swedenborgian ministers
TO preach from his pulpit, and himself
preached in Jewish synagOgues. The
world and the church both suffer in the
loss Of such men as Dr. Elias Lyman
MagOOn. They belong to the class of
the worlds helpers in all good work, and
when they depart their places are hard
to Gil.

Angeles, in the Superior Court of this
State, against the Indians. In this
case the Indians have lived upon and
cultivated the land for many years.
The government of Mexico granted this
land to one of its citizens, reserving
the rights of the Indians. But the
white man has the title to this land
now, and by this decision obtains a
judgment for the possession of the
same. The result will be, that he will
get writ of ejectment, and the poor
Indians will be turned out of their
houses and homes, and from the land
that they and their fathers have lived
on for hundreds of years. There are
about two hundred on this tract of
land, and they are known as the San
Jacinto Indians, located about thirty
miles southeast Of Cotton. What will
be their destiny, God only knows. The
government moves very slowly, and the
poor Indians are gradually, but surely
being driven to the wall" Who is to
blame for all this 3? The popular, ever
ready answer government. People
speak of government as if it were an
abstraction, and of Congress as if it
were composed of men, in whom, so
soon as elected, the lifeblood of the
nation ceases to flow, and whose pulses
are controlled by new circulating
medium. Government is the concrete
will of the people, expressed in action
through its chosen representatives. 1t
is the people, then, who are to blame;
every man and every woman in the
United States, who can read, is to
blame, either directly or indirectly.
There is no spot in this great country,
which the pail covering this gigantic
wrong does not shadow.
