and in Thy name have cast out de
mons, and in Thy name done many
wonderful works? and then shall L say
unto them, 1 never knew you, depart
from me, ye that work iniquity." God
forbid that any of us shall have so lived
that such sentence will be pro.
nounced upon us. There is marked
difference between a Prof. and a Poss
of christianity. One might be the
former for long time, and if it were
told by himself, it would not be known
by those around him. But not so with
tie Poss. He is like city set on hill,
which cannot be hid. The amount of
damage done by one person in the
garb of this hypocritical cloak, is un-
told, and it becomes the duty of every
christian to lend their efforts and in
fiuence in the protection against such
characters.
This work, which the association at
tempts to do is an important one.
How many members there are scat
tered about the county, who are loyal
soldiers of the cross, unable to accomp-
lish much under present circumstances,
but if united would be a power for
good. Or, perhaps an organization that
is not quite strong enough to effect
much, might, with little assistance,
soon become self-supporting and be-
come able to lend the same assistance
that they had at first received, and
thus the good work 60 on.
Let every professed follower of Christ
rally under the banner of King Imman-
uel, and as our brother said last eve.,
'sPut our shoulders to the wheel and
give of our time, our talent, our earnest
work, our money, our influence, our
prayers in helping along this great
work" The ways and means by which
this work will be sustained are various,
and will be discussed later. But if we
are all ready to take a part in this
work, if we are willing to do our duty
whatever that may be, there will be
means by which it may be supported
We are in need of willing workers. Oh,
that this city, the capitol of our county,
might, like Jerusalem of old, be made
the center, from which the rays of the
sun of righteousness might radiate
until all the surrounding country
might be touched by the warming in
fiuence of the love of Christ.
LET us set aside every weight, and
the sin that doth so easily beset US, and
let US run with patience the race that is
set before US, ever looking unto Jesus,
the author and fnisher of our faith.n
And when that great day shall come,
when we shall stand before the jud9-
ment bar of God, and the reward shall
be granted to each one, according to
our works, God grant that we may be
among the number who shall hear that
welcome applaud: "Well done, good
and faithful servant, enter into the
joys of thy Lord"

The scathing utterances OF James

The scathing utterances OF James
G. Blaine on the Mckinley bill are do
ing the republican cause untold injury
this campaign. A few republican pa
pers, which care more for their cause
than for truth, have attempted to deny
the authenticity of the sayings of Mr..
Blaine" but to no avail. Mr.. Blaine
himself has never denied that he said
just exactly what is reported. Senator
Allison and Senator Hale, both repub-
licans, were present when the utter
ances were made, and they have not
lifted their voices in protest against
their truth. Senator Blackburn, to
whom the greater portion of the TRADE
was spoken, has never been disputed by
anyone present at the time. Blaine's ar
raignment of Mckinley and his mon
strous bill stands an indestructable
monument, and makes Blaine today
the most popular republican in the
United Safes.

NOTWITHSTANDING the great boom
that Blaine is getting just now through
out the United States by the republi-
cans, it is pretty likely to happen that
Harrison will get a denomination by
the republican party of high protec-
tionists. The Blaine idea is to do
something to stem the current of public
opinion that is most surely setting in
towards freer trade with other coun-
tries and less of the protective tariff
as exemplified in his reciprocity plans;
while the Harrison idea is to continue
trucking to the protected monopolies
and thus secure their financial aid in a
political direction. Having won the
last presidential election through the
aid of the monopolistic Fat" the Har-
risOn following will not be in a bury
to go back on their hackers for even
the more consistent Blaine idea. Then
again, should Harrison not be renomi
mated it would be an admission that his
administration and the republican
policy of Mckinley and Reedism had
been failure. Therefore we need not
be surprised if little Ben is again
showed under grandpa's 8 hat and trotted
about the country to amuse the natives.
Fhe old saying. that ''Money makes
the mare CO." is firmly believed by
large class of republican politicians to
be applicable to a presidential election,
and if the large sums necessary to
conduct their style of campaign is not
TO be obtained from the protected man
ufacturers, where will they get it?

NEIGHBORHOOD HAPPENINGS,
ELLINWOOD.


From the Advocate.
Oscar Meyers father is here from
Chicago on short visit.
The Spanish doctor has pulled his
freight for Clafiin and the health of thai
city is said to be improving very rapidly.
1t is whispered about town that Ell.
Smith, Fred Stephens, Seward Muters-
baugh and Nick Sprinkler will be mar
ried before the snow falls. Judging
from our personal observation we think
it will not all end in whisperings.
7. P. Fair has moved into his new
residence in the north part of town. T.
c. Tufaey, of Great Bend, is doing the
painting and as he knows just how to
sling the brush and blend colors, the
inside has assumed a superbly fine ap-
pearance.
The man whoshas just little bit of
regard for the conveniences of others,
which is the essence of good breeding,
will not put it off until late Saturday
to have his hair cut, a shampoo, etc.,
as well as a shave Nearly everyone
wants a shave on Saturday and it would
be well to bear this in mind and not to
'thog" the only barber in town for an
hour at a time on that day.

James Pearson is building an addition

R. Wehr is having nice large porch

S. Eshnaur who has been foreman in

him last Thursday evening and as
token of their friendship and esteem
presented him with purse of S42. so.
The presentation speech. was made by
A. H. Baker, which was responded to
by Mr.. Eshnaur in very pleasing
manner.
The need of a cemetery association
is very apparent. The present cond1-
ton of the graveyard is disgrace and
shame. An association should be
formed with certain number of shares
at five or ten dollars share, and this
association should purchase the ground
put good fence around it, see that
everything is kept in order and sell the
lots. This association can easily be
formed as it will take but a few hun
dred dollars to buy the land and make
the improvements; and the sale of lots
will easily keep up the expenses of the
yard.

The Washington Post says: 1.-The
Kansas alliance legislature failed to
make sufficient appropriations for the
public schools. They have probably
laid the foundations for future third
party victories i'll that state.'' That
statement does an injustice to the peo-
pies party. The bungling bill which
is causing the trouble about the schools
in Kansas was introduced by repub-
lican, and unless the mischief can be
corrected it will vacate the schools in
several of the first-class cities of Kan
sas until the levy is available under
the new statute. The alliance has quite
enough to answer for without being
accused of blunders of which it is inno-
cent.-Kansas City Star.

Our farmers will remember that

could not be bought for less than 1915
ten years ago, and this change has
come about while the country was

believe that ''our farmers for a mo-

policy" had anything whatever to do
with the lowering of the price? Also,

The people of the United States are
today sadly in need of protection, :"
lican ''prOtective" tariff. They have
had that sort too long already, and the
testimony is near at hand in the shape
of giant monopolies, trusts, combines,
ETC., that are now hanging like vultures
over the land, reaching their grasp

cts OF the laborer and taking thence
the few hard earned dollars that may
be found there. Give the whole people

those things which are now grinding
the life out of the laboring classes of
