take what sin rralyis. Men say, have not
sinned very greatly, but the question is.
What does the Bible call sing Where does
the Bible say chat negative goodness will in-
sure salyationg IL says: Thou shalt love
the Lord thy God. &C., and thy neighbor rs
tayseli. Men obey the latter. but dlsre-
gard the former. The vital thing for all
TO determine IS what attitude do we bear to-
ward Christ. We may not be guilty oi
bearing she fruits OF sin, such as murder,
stealing, or lying; but what are our i'm
aginstions, and how shall we stand before
Him who shall Judge not that which men
look upon but the secrets OF the heart! The
hideousncss OF sin IL shown clearly IN the
Bible. The single transgression OF Adam
debsrreu him from Gods Paradise. Any
thing that caused surh precious sacrifice as
Gods only Son 10 free us from Is hideons,
aud we desire TO be clesnsed from II. The
punishments that the Bible attaches to- sin-
ming are sufficient alone 10 teach Us OF It's
ugliness sud warn ia TO fee from It.

Good Neus for Mr.. Cui,ingworth.

The Washington Post of yesterday says:
The Republican congressman from Mis-
souri,. at the very outset OF their campaign
for the home offices. have found stumbling
block which astouishes them. They con-
slider It OF great importance 10 have Re-
publican postmaster ut Kansas City. and ex-
pected no great difficulty in getting one,
other than that OF choice between good
Republicans. But when they mentioned
the matter to Postmoster-General Wana-
maker That gentleman informed them
that Judge Adkins, the present in
cumbent, had been commissioned for
four years by the Republican Senate,
and that commission was dated about March
1. 1899 lie inquired If there were any
charges sgainst Judge Adkins, aud they
said there wss no other than that he is a
Democrat. Then the Postmaster-General
SAID he could do nothing until the Judges
commission expired, and he laid Particular
stress upon the fact that the Senate had COM
missloned him.
This IS from 4 Republican paper. The case
stated is exactly analogous to Mr.. CuIllng-
wOrths.
Unless the commission OF Mr.. Culling-
worth confirmed by a Republican Senate) Is
ignored he will hold his Office until June,
1870.

SOCRATES

Having thus traced the several lines Of
speculation which cOnYerged at Athens
when in the zenith OF It's glory, The lecturer
drew a rapid sketch OF the man In whose
sturdy grasp. hard common sense, and high
moral principles these speculatiOns were to
be turned 10 good account. Socrates. q
laree-eyed, flat-nosed hick.lipped, coarsely-
dressed loaier talking day by day in mar
ket-pace, barber shops, and street-cOrners
with any who would listen, stamped his inn
press on his own times and on the world as
few Others bave done. This he did by in.
sistlng on character more than knowledge,
being more than thinking, and by turning
men 10 oseli-examinlu0n.
