C. r C.-Commencement Sermon

~ II u AsSt mn.
The large auditorium oi the Methodist
church WAS or ,wdcd to its utmost capacity
last SUNDAY morning to hear the commence
mcnl sermon before the young ladies ot Cen
lral Female College, delivered by Rev. j. &.
Morris, ID. d., pastor oi the Walnut street
Methodist church, at Kansas Cily. The Ees-
lIhule was also crowded, and hundreds went
away on account 0l not being able tn gel IN.
The morning was cool. AMI the great crowd
did not sun + with heat as l. usually The case
in such places AT this season of the fear.
The morning services were opened with
some excellent musical selections, and DR..
Morris took his text from the FIRST Eplsilc
to Timothy, lin verse. LET the women
learn IN silence with all subIeCtion." lie HaId
that Elizabeth Cady stanton and her tnllnw-
erS demanded reconstruction of the Bible,
and he was sure the Bible demanded her re-
construction. Woman il not mans equal;
neither are the angels in heaven equal 10
man, and IL would hc Il great calamity TO
have woman raised To an equality. Natiir"
had not made her the equal Of man. In
many respects she was his superior. In
moral sense she was SO; she was made OF
refined material. and in that sense was his
superior; she is called mans helper, and III
that sense is superior, us David calls the Lord
his hClper. she was the first tU Sln. and
tempted the man, who sn9cd 10 please her ,
aud God had srt II punishment on her by
placing man over her as her head and her
lord. lie denounced the heresy of woman
suffrage, not from political standpoint, but
because the Word of God denounced it. His
sermon was full of quotations from the
Bible, all strongly supporting his position.
II was the slrongeEt arraigumenl we ever
heard of the advocates of that doctrine. w"
heard numerous compliments paid the speak
er both as a logical reasOner and as an elO~
quent speaker.
At 3 O'Clock Sunday evening the church
was again crowded 10 hear DR.. Morris His
theme was the Great Temptation" aud he
made an eloquent and earnest address. His
reasons why Jesus did not turn stones into
bread, or cast himself down from the pima
Gle, were new to many if not all his auditors.
The address was u very line one, and was
duly appreciated by all who heard II.

more to be dreaded than his enmity.
The republican party has suffered
enough from the Vaccinations of the
mugwumps who professed to be moved
by an excess of purity, but who in
reality were actuated by the basest
ideas. To endanger the restoration of
republican supremacy by surrendering
the cherished and vital principles and
policies of the party in order to con-
ciliate this small and conceited faction
would be specimen of folly we have
no right to think possible. AS the
mugwump is at present constituted his
renewed utilization would be a source
of weakness to the republican party.
Therefore let him continue to dwell in
the FOOLS paradise he has created for
himself,

Death OF the Emperor William.

The death of the venerable emperor of
Germany, though not unexpected, may
have an important influence on the
welfare of the empire and European
politics. The event occasions more
anxiety because of the critical health of
the crown prince (who succeeds to the
throne, assuming the title of Frederick
III.), though it is not generally thought
that there will be any radical change in
the situation while Bismarck lives.
1t is not given to many sovereigns to
live to the extreme age of ninety-one
years and to see his empire holding the
destinies of an entire continent within
its grasp, although Emperor William
had occupied the throne but twenty
seven years, which is only of average
duration-being little more than half
that of Queen Victoria. He was born
March p, 1877, the very day on which
Napoleon left Paris to take command
of the army in Italy. His earliest i'm
pressions were those of the humiliation
of his country at the hands of Napoleon,
who crushed the Prussians in "Jena's
bloody battle" and rode in triumph to
Berlin. William had visited Paris twice
in military capacity and once as a
guest. He was among the young Of
ficers who entered France and occu-
pied its capital after Waterloo, and he
appeared again as emperor of Germany,
crowned at Marseilles, and the con-
queror of France in 1871. Coming to
the throne of Prussia in 1861, he found
that kingdom inferior in military power
and international influence to several
of the other states of Europe. His ac-
cession to the throne made possible
the realization of the hope of that ma
tional unity of which the Germans had
for so long dreamed. In his little more
than quarter of century's reign he
made Germany the arbiter of Europe,
and while he was not friend of par

self the loyal devotion of great peo-
pie. He was not man of distin-
guished intellectual gifts, but he had
the happy faculty of knowing and en-.
gaging strong men. The examples of
this greatest quality of a. ruler are
many and Observation-Disclosures and
