PERILs OF THE REPUBLIC,
Mans Greatest Danger To-day u His
Greedish, Desire for Gold.

Grecdish, Desire for Gold.
At the Cumberland Presbyterian Church
Rev. j. B. Koehne delivered an interesting
sermon last night. The subject OF his dis
course was the ''Perils of Our Republic. /"
He said: sour revolutionary ideas in the
present day are based upon the late revolu-
ton between the North and South. The
sentiment which caused the revolution
emanated from the mind of single person
and in time engrossed the minds of the
whole nation, and finally resulted in the
uprising of the people to arms.
Such is the existing condition of affairs
to-day. Mans sole object in life is to amass
wealth in order to enjoy the pleasures only
to be obtained by money. and to that end he
is taught by his parents from childhood that
the accumulation of wealth is the only pos
sible way in which the desired end can be
attained. They imbue his mind with eco
nomic ideas, and with these fixed theories
he goes through life.
