Rev. Mr.. Louther delivered the fol-
lowing interesting sermon on Sunday

Rev. Mr.. Louther delivered the fol-
lowing interesting sermon on Sunday
morning last:
Brethren, If q man be overtaken in fault We
which are spiritual restore such in the
spirit of meckness considering thyself lest thou
also be tempted; Gal. VIII.
1t would be a blessed thing if we could only con-
template sin from the same point Of view from
which Christ and his Apostles saw it. But in
this matter society is oscilatlng between two
extremes, under laxity and under severity In on
age Of the church the days af dona;ism for
starce,-men refused the grace OF repentance to
those who have erred, that for single lapse into
sin there Is no restoration. In another age the
church having found out its error. and discovered
the danger of setting up impossible standard,
begins to confer periodical absolutions and pie
nary indulgences, until sin easily forgiven is
easily committed. This error reached its climax
in the 18th century. An illustrious example of it
was Tetzel who sold induIgences in Germany.
For polygamy he charged dueats, "a ducat, if sill
ver equal to s. American coin, if gold, it was
equal to sle). perjury ducats, murder ducats,
witchcraft 2 ducats, etc. The payment of these
amounts it said. RENTED all penalty for sin,
and to the favor of God.
There is another view equally erroneous which
maintains that the offender may be restored on
the performance of a mere ceremony. The man
whose life is filthy and who says prayers in order
TO absolve him from guilt and SIM the Pharisee who
'.fasts twice week and then devours widows
houses the hypocr.e who walows in sin, and
then goes through the form OF worship. or who
violstes every relation to God and humanity, and
then says mass oncea year in order to bring him
into favor with God are all equally mistaken. Re
pentance and reformation the only conditions
OF pardon. We smile at a state Of ignorance in
the church that sets up any other standard But
society is not far removed from that state OF
ignorance as one might at first suppose. Every
licensed gambling hall and place of disrcpute,
every licensed billiard hall and drinking saloon is
under the protection of an indulgence granted by
the state to commit crimes and perpetuate evils of
great proportions. What matter if these evils ruin
your boy, defame your girl or bring sorrow to your
homes: What matter if your husband, son or
brother are among the thousands annually who go
down in the vortex: Have not the keepers of
these places an indulgence in the form OF license,
that absolve them from penalty: l do not favor
the bloody laws of Draco, for they forever cut off
the offender. Neither do favor the indulgenccs
Of Leo WHO granted pardon for money But love
the laws of God, who pardons the penltcnt desr-
ing to lead new life.

4 Sad Death.

Arthur Zimmerman was riding an unb-oken
colt, two years Old, on Monday evening, and by a
fall sustained mortal Injuries, from which he died
on Tuesday morning The colt reared up and fell
backwards, the horn of the saddle striking the I'M
fortunate Young man in the abdomen. He lay in
q critical condition for several hours, being beyond
the aid OF medical skill The deceased was a son
of F. c. Zimmerman, orr well-known citizen. and
was about Is years of age. The parents of the de-
ceased are in deep distress the loss of their
son. Arthur was promising young man and his
parents were doing all they could 20 assist him III
securing an education His taking off under such
circumstances is painful and heartrcnding The
sympathy Of their many friends in the city is ten
dered to them in their hour of affection and be-
reavement The citizens of Dodge City We're
much panied upon the announcement of the death
of the estim. bic young man. The funeral took
place yesterday afternoon, the body being buried
in the family buryiug ground.
We note from the Topeka Capital the departure
soon Of W. G. Dickinson, the present Secretary
and Treasurer of the Arkansas Valley Land and
Town Company, TO California, where he is to
sumo similar position with the san Diego Land
ard Town Company. Mr.. Dickinson is well and
favorabiy known throughout the State, and espec-
tally in the western part, and mis- many friends
will note his departure with regret. As man Of
energy and enterprise, and as representative
town company man he probably outranks any 9th
er in the State. He has beer an important factor
in the growth and development of Western Kan
sas, having originally plated and founded great
marS OF eur western towns now assuming metro
politan airs. Dodge City has for several years
been among the towns numbered in his agency he
assuming control OF the Dodge City Town Comps-
ny, at the request Of the stockholders, at Il time
when its affairs il. very complicated condi
ton, and when only such he with his experience
and ability coad reciify that which he did. and he
has continued TO do TO the entire satisfaction Of ell
concerned His addition to Caifornia will be that
OF man Of thrift. energy ana enterprise, aid
thoroughly oonversant with the affairs OF the &C.
lection. plating of new towns and the develop
ment of new country.

expressed the highest pleasure over his remarks.
He said the people responsible for the sale OF
liquor. and he said the saloon keeper was not SO
much to blanche was carrying ont the wishes Of
the people. The violation of the prohibitory law
should not condemn the law. There were laws
against murder and all other crimes. Violations

of these laws. MIR. Doncgans lecture was logical
