who get their chief consolation from
this book Suppose a man should re-
solve that he would organize con
spiracy to destroy all the medicines
from all the sPOthecaries and from all
the hospitals of the earth The work is
done. The medicines are taken and
thrown into the river, or the lake, or
the sea A patient wakes up at mid
night In parOxyszn OF distress and
wants an anOdyne- ''Ohs" says the
nurse, ''the anOdynes are all destroyed;
we have no drops to give you, but in
stead of that III read you a book on
the absurdities OF morphine, and on the
absurdities of all remedies" But the
man continues to yvrithe in pain, and
the nurse says: f'I'll continue to read
you some discOurses on anOdynes. the
cruelties of anodynes, the indecencies
of anOdynes, the absurdities of anOdynes-
For your grOan III give You "a laugh"

Have you heard OF the conspiracy to
put out all the lighthouses on the coast?
Do you know that on a certain night
next month EddystOne lighthouse, Bell
Rock lighthouse, SherryVOre lighthouse,
MOntaulz lighthouse, Hatteras light
house, New London lighthouse, Barne-
gat lighthouse, and the $40 lighthouses
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts are
to be distinguished? 80, % you say what
will become of the ships on that night?
What will be the fate of the one million
sailors following the sea? What will
be the doom of the millions of passen-
gers? Who Will arise to put down such
a cOnspiracy?" Every man, woman and
child in America and the world But
that is only a fable. That is what in
fidelity Is trying to de, put out all the
| lighthouses on the coast of eternity,
/ letting the soul go up the ''narrows" of
| death with no light, no comfort, no
| peace-au that coast covered with the
| blaclkness of darkness. Instead of the
| great lighthouse, a glow worm of wit,
a FREELY of jOcOsity.
Furthermore, cannot be an infidel

is all the time making against the
/ Bible. Perhaps the SANDER that has
made the most impression and that

favOrs pOlygamy. Does the God of the
Bible uphold pOlygamy, or did hef

/ started it as he wanted it to cOntinues
If God had favored POlygamy he could
| have created for Adam five wives or ter
| wives or twenty wives, just as easily as
he made one. At the very first of the
! Bible God shows himself in favor O
monOgamy and antagonistic to Polyg
amy. Genesis ii. "a: Therefore shall {
man leave his father and mother, anC
shall cleave unto his WIFE Not hi
wives, but his wife.
God permitted pOlygamy. Yes; jus
as he permits to-day murder and arson
and all kinds OF crime. He permit
these things as you well know, but h
does not sanction them. Who vvoul,
dare to say he sanctioned them? Be
cause the presidents of the Unite
States have permitted pOlygamy il
Utah, you are not, therefore, to cor
clude that they patrOnized it, that the.
! approved it when, on the contrary the
denounced it. All of Gods ancien
Israel knew that the God of the Bib
was against pOlygamy, for in the As
) years of their stay in Egypt there is Onl.
one case of pOlygamy recOrded-Onl
one. All the mighty men Of the Bib
stood alOOf from pOlygamy, except thOs
