UPSI.t
That Is the Only way to Better a
BAD World.


Rev. W. j. Lham0n, at the Church of
Christ, last evening spoke from the text,
"These that have turned the world up
side down have come hitler alsO;"
Acts, xviii, 6. He said: 'Christianity
has always been disturbing element
in society and politics. 1t is the soul of
prophesy, and prophesy seeks to right
the wrong. Finding the world wrong
side up, 1t seeks to turn it upside down
that it may be right side up. The Old
Testament prophets were rlgidly right
cons. They found it their chief bust
ness to denounce sin and pronounce
woes upon the impeuitent. JESUS is the
greatest Of all the prophets and the most
righteous, but He has less of denuncla-
ton and more of persuasion than His
forerunners. The modern prophets are
Christs disciples. Through them So
ciety has been transformed in many
ways. but the path Of their progress,
starting from the cross, has been marked
by the blood of their martyrdom.
There is no way to better
bad world but by turning 1t up
side down. and this it resists
with brutal force and persistence. Wen
dell Philips was a prophet; he was
egged. Charles Sumner was modern
prophet; he was caned. Lovejoy, and
Lincoln, and Gamhrel and Haddock
were murdered. Frances Willard is
heartily hated. There are wrongs yet
to be rghted, and prophets are mole
numerous than ever, and persecution
has not ceased. Hundreds of prophets

Municipal disagreement calls for
complete chorus Of prophetic woes.
Corporations are crushing communities.

in athe council chambers of the most
high Civilized nations are curSing
pagan peoples with opium and rum; the
peadingS of Chinese officials, and the
PRAYERS of African chiefs will be heard,
if not on earth, in heaven. The voice
of all history, OF humanity and of re-
velation cries saying such SINS must be
repented of or atoned for. The alterna-
+. tive is baptism in water or in blood.
OYerturnings of wrong-doings must be
wrought peaceably at the ballot box by
maioritieS of holy men and women, or
at the lannon's mouth on bloody battle
fields by desperate men. amidst wounds
and groans and tears and death.
Caesars Column" is possibility if the
saints and prophets of to-day are not
true to their time-honored Office. There
must be the outlawry Of that Trinity of
he'll, the saloon, the bagnlo and the
gambling den. The ballot box must be
founded on Christian character or it
cannot be the corner stone of per-
manent state. There is nope. Right
eousness is in the ascendant. Saints
were never so numerous nor sinners SO
shame-faced.
