He took the ground that the one faith
defines the one element making the
Christian differ from all other life The
ideal religious life is one of permanent
trust. Much Of religious life IS essentially
weak, though depending very largely on
the emotions. Human nature is complex.
The interdependence OF body, mind and
spirit on each other make the emotions .
very unsatisfactory basis of the religions.
The permanent. steady. onflowing Of true
character Of Christian life and the New
Testament piety embodies an entire
God possession through complete divine
indweliing-a union of the unsteady hui
man life With the unchanging divine life
and infusion Of divine life. The Christ
power Is into every part of the being. This

ing to God. -

TAYLOR CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

SynOpsis Of Rev. George 81. Lees First
Sermon in His New Pastorate.
Rev. George 81. Lee. the pastor Reject of
the Taylor Congregational church.
preached his first sermon in his new field
yesterday morning. He comes from
Salem, Or, where he has been for several
years pastor Of the leading Congregational
church. At the morning service yesterday
he preached from the text found IN:
Ezek. xxxiv 81 win raise up unto them
plantation for renown, and they shall be no
more consumed with famine in the land.
This occurs in . highly poetic pas.
sage" said Mr.. Lee. 1.-The figure is that
Of shepherd and sheep. The Creator ap-
pears TO His people under the character of
the shepherd. and finding them scattered
and distressed, promises them rich proyi-
sion and protection.
The text suggests: First-God's per-
sonal presence in human and individual
affairs. Some think Him God afar of,
but to be this would not be to be God.
'Second-God's activity toward the
human and the individual. He may seem to
as inactive, but to be this would be to be no
God.
"Third-A redemption provided for them
that desire it. In the figure of the text,
the shepherd finds the sheep scattered
and ahungered and looking TO Him. Our
Maker would rather lose His throne than
one suffering soul that calls on Him. And
equally, He does not force heaven and for
giveness of sins upon those who do not de-
sire it. nor those who do not ask it.
"Fourth-The words ''ralse up" suggest
the small beginnings by which Gods great
est blessings come. Tall oaks from little
acorns grow and moments like this one
of thought or desire may be the turning
point of destiny. He raises up grand re-
suits from tiny beginnings.
Fifth-The shepherd provides q pastur-
age renowned for abundance, for choice
ness and for salubrity. To be starved or
lean spiritually is in SO far not to be
Christian. for Gods children have plenty
and the choicest of provisions. and if. by
weakness OF faith in Him. they do not par
take. they have themselves, not Him, to
blame"
The application of his sermon was: "If
God has provided, shall we deem it light
matter whether we receive His grace
And since He mas shown exertion in our
behalf, shall we fear that not enough has
been done p
The speaker also advocated strongly the
use of the revised version among Chris
tians as means OF gaining a clearer I'M

.'tD Christ became poor that he might
correct the principles by which poverty
came to our world. One of the greatest
urses of this world is that of giving wealth
to heirs without giving right principles with

John Ii. Koelling, county clerk of

that the Warren County Board of
Equaliza ton had ignored the action of
the State Board of Equaliza ton in in
creasing the assessment of that coun-
ty, and the clerk asked to be advised of
his duty in the premises.
Mr.. Koelling was promptly informed
that the assessment fixed by the State
board must be extended on the tax
books or there would be distress war
rant issued upon the return. In speak
ing of the matter Mr. Seibert said the
county assessment of Warren County
was S4.24 per acre, while that of st.
Charles was S12.1 Is, Lincoln S6.7S and
Montgomery 81. So
The State Board of Equaliza ton
deemed the valuations in Warren and
Montgomery counties too low as COM
pared with those of ST. Charles and
Lincoln counties, hence both the former
were increased twenty per cent, which
in the case of Warren County amounted
to 1886, $50 over that returned by the
county.
Section 7,51S prescribes the duties Of
the county board, and says in conciu-
sion: Provided, that said board shall not
reduce the valuation of the real and
personal property Of the county below
the value thereof as fixed by the State
