THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
look on the subject. Think or that
but said, suppose they take the posi-
ton of high license, what then, anu
said there is the leader OF the Repnoh-
can party; he is not even moral man
himself, he didn't want to hear any
thing about QUAY. except that he could
beat the Democrats, and said ne, 1
would see my right arm fall from It's
socket before / would cast vote against
the party that saved the Union at an
hour when 1t was in imminent Danger.
The hardest battle is not In the par
ties but in the conscience to vote rlgnt.
God is talking to the souls OF men ana
women, and IL we heed not he VIII
come in retribution.
When God rejects the ruling power OF
any country no man can save it. Wnen
God chooses any righteous power in any
country to take the place of the old no
man can hinder 1t.
No party can come to power that only
has fractional or sectional principles.
Remember that when God rejects no
man can save, and when He chooses no
man can hinder 1t.
Slavery was morally wrong. The ma
iority of conscience was on our side.
God came and the hills and Wales were
rich with human blood. Was slavery
in the South alone? l tell thee nay,
and when God came did he lay his hand
on the South alone? Verify, / tell the
nay. But he laid his hands on the Ma
ton, and side by side lay the men OF
the North and of the South, that YER
dict was Gods compromise on moral
evil.
We are confronting another ct this
hour. The Democratic and Republican
parties say IL shall stand. The Peoples
party have left 1t ont altogether. We
say 1t must not stand.
Lift up your souls and in this hour
stand for the representation OF God In
government and on the safety side of
life of this republic.
IN THE EVENING.
In the evening Mr.. Mead after a
conference with j. w. Bodley,
made the announcement that there
would be an Assembly held next year,
prolonged cheering), but did not say
upon what grounds, but to relieve your
minds from any anxiety will say that
1t will be on these grouds. (Re-
newed cheerlng.) A man said

spon sible for S25 toward the expenses.
Now. If there is any one who will make
such an offer it will not be rejected. ID.
j. Hartley said: III l live TIL next
year l will be responsible for $50 more.
[Grcat cheering.
Rev. Boole was introduced by Chair
man Il. S. Carskadlon in neat address.
DIR. Boole on ascending the rostrum
asked II he could be heard In the far
end of the Temple and being informed
that he could, said he would like to
talk tonight from the Is chapter
of Matthew and 1G verse, 1.-THE
gates of He'll" who say
YOU that am, and some say that Thou
art Elijah. But who say you that am?
And Peter said, Thou art the Christ.
Then said Christ, Thou Simon art a
rock, and upon this rock will build my
Church.
BY the gates of hell, understand the
powers OF hell. the forces OF hell. 1t
is maxim that the force Is
not any stronger than the weakest
point. What are the gates OF hell? Let
me take you to heather lands, and in
the worship of idols there are the gates
OF hell, or the worship OF devils. When
a man stands in the ground up to his
waist, there must be some power more
than human, certainly 1t Is not divine.
believe 1t is Satanic power. believe In
spiritual power arrayed against spirit
ual. At this point the electric power
failed, all the ll9hts went out and the
speaker was compelled to proceed IN
darkness until the wires could be re-
paired.
OAnother power OF idolatry that can
name is the spirit Of covetness.
The spirit Of covetness closes up the
heart. / come now to the strongest
gates OF hell. The legalized liquor
traffic."
