THE OK AND HIS OWNER.
I want to talk tonight about the
wild OK of the nineteenth century and
shall predicate my discourse from the
Dist chapter of Exodus and part of
the 26th and 29th verses: IF an OK
gore a man or q woman that they die;
then the OK shall be stoned; but If the
OK were won't to gore with his horns
in time past and it has been testified
to his owner, and he hath not kept
him in, but he hath killed a man or
woman; the OK shall be stoned and
the owner also put to death" Relig-
iously the world is divided into three
periods, the Patriarchal, the Jewish
and the Christian, in which we live.
Judaism is made up of types, and
Christianity furnishes the anti-types;
Judaism is the bud; Christianity the
blossom and the fruit.
THE PRINCIPLES OF LAW.
We find the fundamental princi-
plies of all civil laws in the laws God
gave Israel. In this lesson we find
the fact that God looked upon man
as beng possessed of certain rights,
among which was the right to be pro-
tected. One of these laws says 40
man has a right to take life for it Is
that he cannot replace. One of the
laws specified that il an OK gored a
man or woman, that he should be
stoned and if the owner knew the ami
NAL to be dangerous, he, too, should
be stoned to death. Here we are in
the last quarter of the nineteenth CEN
fury, with hundreds and thousands of
church spires pointing heavenward,
with all our schools, academies and
colleges, and the blessed influence of
the press, the railroads, the telegraph
and the telephone, and yet hold on to
the old barbarous practice that Is a
disgrace to any people. In connec-
ton with this the license business is
more dangerous. They try to make
1.-The business respectable and look on
the wild beast and call it our pride.
THE DUTY OF THE CITIZEN.
I want to speak of the government
and the duty of each citizen OF the
| government Some are fearful lest
they may get their temperance and
politics mixed. Well, as 4 rule. these
fellows have very little politics to mix.
l.
need more religion in politics.
TOO GOOD.
Some people say by their actions
that they are too good to go to the
ballot box and condemn this evil. In
stead ef running away from this thing
we ought to grapple with the curse
and WIN victory that will be boon
to our children and our children'a
children long after we are silent in
the tomb.
PREACH POLITICS.
Now, gentlemen, don't see why a
preacher can't stand up in his pulpit
/ and preach politics. Men tell you I
am as much in favor of temperance as
any one, but the church is the place
, for temperance work to be done. Bot
if the preacher comes out with a
/ straight, clear-cut sermon on total alb
r stinence, you will hear the same fell
low saying, I thought we employed
him to preach s'Christ and Him cruel
fed"
To arrest community in its care,
: less drift and arouse people to the
importance of cooperative temper
i ance work means more to a communi
ty than the signing of the pledge anc
s more than closing up the dives. So
0 ciety will be made better and purer
Some think we are laboring only K
