The Fu,l Galaxy.

Until there is addition of territory the
aggregate number of the states will not
probably ever exceed foFty-eight. This
is an addition of ten to the present
number. The four new ones, now
virtually admitted. leave but the six
territories of New Mexico, Utah, Ari-
IONA, Idaho, Wyoming and the Indian
territory out of which to make states.
1t is certain that no one of them will
ever get the start in population so as to
be divided like the Dakotas. The larg-
est of these in area is New Mexico,
with 122, $50 square miles, and the In
dian territory the smallest, with 60, 600.
The latter is considerably larger than
the state of Illinois. 1t has an Indian
government, and presents the anomaly
of distinct nationality or republic of
its own in the limits of the United
States. The Indians are becoming about
as we'll civilized as most white men, and
there is little doubt that they will be
admitted as state at no distant day if
the white encrOachers do not get all
their land away.

MONDAY CHATTER.

That Chicago preacher who credits
God with all the storms that sweep away
life and property, and all the accidents
that rush crowds of people out of the
world without warning, had better get
up trade with that Baptist preacher
of the Lake City who has no further
use for his devil. The idea of deity
that goes about killing people to APP
pease his wrath is not presented as in
former times. Some can follow the
theory when but few are wiped out.
especially if they are bad fellows, but
they about all stop in a case like that of
JohnStoWn. A number of recent cases
noted in the dispatches are little hard
to work in on the old theory. In one
place a man falls dead in the midst of
the utterance of grace at the family
table. In Indiana tent in which re-
vival meeting is being held is totally
ruined; in the same state two Sunday
school girls are killed while saying their
lesson. If all casualties are due to
divine rage, it would be better to let
the devil have chance to try his hand.

THE SINNERS ADVOCATE.
Only One Way Of Settling Their
Accounts of Sin.


Rev. w. j. Lhamon preached yester-
day morning at the Church of Christ on
the text, IF any man sin we have an
advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ,
the righteous" He said, 1.-The word
here translated advocate is elsewhere
translated comforter or helper. We think
that is better. The word advocate savors
too much of the idea of the criminal
lawyer determined at all hazards to
free his client. Sinners at that court
are not encouraged to make the plea,
mot guilty. There is only one square
way of settling the accounts of sin, and
that is to fairly confess the wrong, and
pray the superior powers to forgive.
God does not need to be recODciled to
man; we do not need an advocate for
that. Man needs to be encouraged to-
ward the love of God, and for that he
needs a helper. or comforter, The
Father is always ready to receive him.
God was in Christ recOnciling the world
to himself The Father sees US "a
long way off, and rms to meet us it
we come penitently back to Him. Our
difficulty is in repentance. For that we
need helper. We need one who can
make US know that the Father loves US
though we are sinners: that He will re-
ceive US from out Our sins; that He is
able and willing to forgive; that, in
short, though we are rebellious sons,
He is Father still. We need One to
break down the bars that sin has thrown
up between the unholy man and the
holy God. Jesus has done this; He
has made for us NEW and living way
through his flesh" j. e., his blood, his
life. his love. He helps US to faith; he
comforts us in hope; he makes repent
ance possible, and therefore makes it
possible for God to forgive.
Jesus propitiates man rather than
God, and the Precipitation is through
faith in his blood. Faith in his life,
and love, and death. and resur-
rectien, faith in him as the
representative of the Father, as
creating love to God in the heart of
man, and as offering forgiveness on con-
dition of repentance and obedience
this is Precipitation. Robert Browning
makes David say to Saul: ''Oh Saul, it
shall be face like my face that receives
thee; a man like to me thou shalt love
and be loved by forever; a hand like
this hand shall throw open the gates of
new life to thee! See the Christ stand!"

BLUE BLOOD.
Rev. G. L. Morrill, Thinks 1t Will
Tell in the End.

Rev. g. Il. Morrill, Thinks 1t Will
Tell in the End.
At Calvary Baptist church yesterday
morning Rev. G. L. Morrill, preached
upon blue Blood" 1.-The Bible" he
said, lis true to life. Jacob is known
for his Shylock nature as well as for his
ladder He is an illustration of the fact
that a man may have good parents,
education and ability. and yet be I'M
saved. Until he met God and showed
faith and repentance his soul was tossed
on beach of wrecks and weeds. There
is and can be no peace to the wicked.
Men are wicked in halls of science
as well as novels of vice until their
Jacob disposition gives way to an Israel.
The victory over our lower nature is
born of wrestling. The strength needed
comes not from blue blooded ancestry,
but from the blood which speaks better
things than the blood of Abel. The
ladder between earth and heaven is the
uplifted Christ. By this way the poorest
and worst may come. By any other
human device men fail and fall. Jacobs
character is not so black for the age he
lived in as some are now. More is re-
quired now than then. Are we more or
less faithful? Jacob and Esau shows
how from the same cradles side and
mothers knee life may flow to the frozen
tide or peaceful sea.

An Ill That STAYS,

The unsightly hustle may ignobly pass
into the rubbish closet at the behest
of taste and dress reform, but tine corset
will continue its sweet embodiment re-
CARELESS of Ieformers. At least this was
the inference from contest of the OPP
posing forces at rece Mt convention at
Newcastle, England. for the advance
ment OF science. 4 refurmer assaulted
the corset. and attributed to it about all
the ills that came to the life of the wear
ers of the garment; whereat men
eminent in English walks rose up to its
defense. One of them was a distin-
guished physician. In fact, there was
general disposition among the male
scientists to rally about the corset. Sew
eral ladies, too. speaking from expert
ence, narrated wonderful stories of
hardship aud fatigue endured by means
of the corset. AS result, the reform
ers were crushed under vote of 90 to z,
and the corset was given new lease of
life.

MINNEAPOLIS.
MORE DIVINE THAN HUMAN.
"A Pretty Paragraph the Epitome
of DIR. Thwino's Sermon.

DIR. Charles F. Thwing preached yes
terday morning at Plymouth Congrega-
tional church on the text: "What is
this that He saith little while? We
cannot stell what Hsaith." A we'll
worded extract from the sermon makes
an epitOme of what the good audience
which filled Plymouth church yester-
day morning heard. 1t is as follows:
The thought of life's shortness and
times SwiftneSS is common. The phil
oSOpher reasons about its causes; the
poet sings its sadness, and the moralist
unfOlds its lessons. Yet life'S length
and times Slowness are also facts. Do
you want to know how long life is?
Take out your watch and follow the
revolutions of the second hand. Think
how long that minute is. Think that
since this hour Yesterday each one has
lived !, 40 just such periods. This time
is long. Yet despite mathematics life
is short and time swift. Poet, pbiloso-
pher and moralist are quite as true as
the mathematician.
Time is long or short not in itself, but
in relation to other things. We say that
Mathusala'S 1000 years are long when
laid down by our seventy, yet place his
ten centuries against the timeleSS ages
of the sun. and how like a declining
shadow they are. We say that the man
of ninety is old. yet compared with Ma
thusala he is yet a boy. Yet compare
his ninety years with the little insect
that was born with the sun, and which
will die with the sun, and how like eter-
nifty is his four score years and ten.
Yes, time is long or short. not in itself,
but as compared with other things. Yet
it is also true that we think of life as
short and time as swift. The
reason is significant. The reason
is that we compare ourselves
more with the lasting than with the
perishing; more with the eternal than
with the ephemeral. If we compare
our lives with the creature which lasted
but day we say, ''How long our lives
are'' We do compare Our lives with
the lasting, and hence we say, ''How
short life is" This is very significant.
1t proves that man is measuring him
self against the infinite pillars of eteT-
nifty and not against the posts of the
years. 1t proves that man is contrast
ing himself not with the lowest, but
with the highest. Improves that we are
Judging ourselves more in the light of
the everlasting heavens than in the
shadows of the clouds which brush its
face. 1t proves that we think of our
selves more as children of the eternal
heavenly Father than the creatures of
ashes and dust. We are more spirit
than material, more divine than hui
man,

The New Church of the Redeemel
Nearly COmDIete.

The congregation of the Church of
the Redeemer will soon move into the
main auditorium of their handsome new
church. For nearly year they have
been holding services down stairs in the
lecture room. At meeting held last
week those having the matter in charge
decided that the church should be re-
dedicated on Nov. 5 or 10. The au-
ditorium is nearly complete and is one
of the most magnificent in the city.
The church, which is cruciform makes
the auditorium different from the ma
jority Of the churches in the city. The
gallery is very small, occupying only
the base of the cross, while the choir
gallery fills the top. Two handsome
miniature galleries. almost resembling
boxes at theater, adjoin this gallery,
filing the inches adjoining. The cell
ing corresponds exactly with the slant
of the roof, and is grained above with
ornamental beams, between which and
the ceiling is fresco designs. The

Beautiful Old Age.

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES presents
a picture that is good for weary eyes to
rest upon. He is in his eighty-frst year,
has full possession of his mental facul-
ties and reasonable bodily vigor. He
looks back with satisfaction over a
career that is full of good things. and as
he lifts the curtain says that death
bears as pleasant face to an old man
as sleep to one who is tired" That is
the ideal old man. He is like st. PAUL,
content to live or die. No broken col
umn will figure for him. His life is full
orbed and complete. 1t is no doubt
generally true that, when one has
passed the limit of life as indicated by
nature. the desire to live becomes fee
BILE. Even when all the physical and
mental machinery retains its vigor, the
feeling of the Massachusetts poet and
author is the one that is becoming and
fitting.

THE GOSPEL OF GLADNESS,
Religion Intended to Comfort
Life'S Duties

Rev. d. ]. Burrel preached at West
minister church yesterday morning on
the text: land it came to pass that He
went throughout every city and village
preaching and teaching the glad tidings
of the kingdom of God. Luke viii, l..
The religion of Jesus Christ was IN
tended to enable men to comfort LIES
duties and responsibilities with cheer
full heart. A Christian should, of all
men. be the last to harbor melancholy.
All the facts in philosophy are
against it.
First-He believes in good Coda
God whose other name is Love, who
meditates kindness towards all His
children, and at whose right hand are
pleasures forever more.
SecOnd-We live ip a pleasant world,
world not draped IN mourning as if
for funeral, but full of the bloom of
flowers and the music of birds and flow
ing brooks.
Third-We belong to an honorable
family. Our lineage is written thus:
''Who was the son of Seth, who was the
son of Adam, who was the son of GOd?"
We are made in the divine likeness. and
though ruined by sin, are capable of
recovery. ''We came out from God,
and shall never rest until we rest again
in Him."
Fourth-We have a golden opportun-
ity. Life is ours for the building up of
character and doing good as we have
opportunity. A ladder is letdown from
heaven to our feet, wherein we may
climb to the kingdom of God.
Fifth--There is glorious outlook be-
fore us. We believe in Immortality.
This life at it's best or worst is only the
threshold of the real life.
And finally, we have religion that
falls like sunshine over all. 1t bids us
believe in God as our Father. in nature
as His handiwOrk, in our fellow-men
as His children; in life, as our opportu-
nifty for preparing for glory, and in
heaven as our eternal home.
The Lord. though unseen, is among
us tonight, preaching the glad tidings
of the kingdom, saying Come unto Me
and will give you peace-at My right
hand are pleasures forevermore.
