ganized to-day. The senate elected repub-
lican subordinate officers by one majority.

jority. The democrats and independents
are united in both houses with the excep-
tion of one independent and one democrat,
who voted with the republicans III the
house in the choice of speaker. The oppo-
sition victory in the house does not discour-
age the republicans on the senatorial con-
test, but somewhat complicates matters.
There are understood to be sixteen contests
in the house. which may result in increas-
ing the fusion majority to twelve or fifteen.
It is believed by republicans that they will
draw independents and democrats enough
to elect a senator.

The Great Foundation on Which
Eternal Life, the Church of
Christ Rests.

The divine spirit which is breathed
soul, is the stronghold, the foundation of
Christianity. The church of God can
not be established nor maintained but by
his spirit. There is nothing that ever
was created that can produce the church
of Christ, Jesus left his disciples, that
they might have nothing outward to de-
pend upon. AS long as we depend upon
anything outward we are but worshipers
of idols 1t Is Christ the spirit, that
reveals to man the truth. Jesus had this
teacher within him, but he could not
give it to others. He called his disciples
to follow him, and that they no doubt
tried to do in the out ward, but when he
was taken away, they came to see the
divine spirit by which they were enabled
to follow him in spirit and in truth.
Here they found Jesus Christ, physically
and spiritually, was in them. The
theories. creeds, and doctrine of men
lead TO bewilder and dazzle to blind t.
The divine spirit is revealed unto babes,
while it is hid from the wisdom of man,
in his physical and Intellectual develop
ment. The Christ of God is revealed,
as we seek the kingdom of God, revealed
in the contrlte heart. This divine spirit
in the heart, the life, is the only founda
ton of the church of Christ, where God
is worshiped in spirit and in truth. This
spirit of divine love in the heart can alone
open the kingdom of heaven to our view.
deception that any outward ceremony of
sectarian creeds or doctrines can lead to
the kingdom of God in heaven. Seek
first the great foundation, the spirit of
divine love in the heart, which is revealed
unto, while it is hid from the wisdom OF
man, III his pride and elf-righteousness,
who may acquire great physical and IN

ments of this world, without any knowi
edge of the kingdom of God. AS 1t was
with Paul, until he was met on his way,
in the silence of earth, by the divine
spirit which opened to him the truth.
Here was his resurrection from the
sectarian religion, from theories, creeds
| and doctrine of mel, from the latter
which kills to the spirit of life eternal.
There are many sectarian religionists at
this day who are depending upon the
records of the past for their salvation,
calling them holy scriptures, and the
word of God while they are records OF
mans knowledge of truth as revealed by
the spirit of God, aud of satan, in man s

SENATOR WILSON DEAD.
The Eminent Marylander Expires Suddenly
In Washington.


in Washington.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ga Hon. Eph-
Ram King Wilson, United States Senator
from Maryland, died at five minutes past
ten o'clock tonight, in his apartments in
the Hamilton House, corner of Four
teenth and l streets. If he had lived
until the 22d of December next he
would have been seventy years old.
Senator Wilson ON Saturday night
was taken with severe attact of indi-
gestion, after eating some bean soup.
The attack greatly Frustrated him. On
Monday he felt very much better and
rested comfortably, conversing with Mrs
Wilson in a most cheerful strain. This
morning he suddenly became worse,
and to add to his trouble heart failure
was threatened. His physicians, Drs.
Busey and Hammond, a. O'Clock. en-
tertained the gravest fears for his con-
dition. Mr.. Martin, the Senator's private
secretary, at oDce telegraphed to Snow
Hill to his son, Mr.. w. Sidney Wilson
and his daughter, Mrs. Hargis, to come
to Washington without delay, and his
younger children, who are at boarding
school were also sent for. Early in the day
he became unconscious his mind wan
dered and he talked at random of his
committee work, his private affairs and
also of matters before the Senate.
The cause of death was organic heart
disease from which Senator Wilson had
been long and patient sufferer. He
was frequently cautioned by his family
physician to be more careful ID his diet.
At the Capitol he frequently selected the
indigestible ARTICLES ON the bill of fare
| for his luncheon, and his associates often
warned him to be more careful.
The greatest sorrow is expressed for
him, for he was very popular. Many
| inquiries have been made. Soma tor
Wilson, although looking fresh and
years, aud has frequently complain
| ed of the trouble with his heart Only
few days since in while sitting in The Sun
Bureau talking on current topics, he
suddenly put his hand on his heart and
said, "'rhis will kill me some day" The
knowledge of his condition made him
lowspirited at times, but he never suffer
ed it to interefer with his public duties.
He has always been one of the most
painstaking and faithful members of
the Senate, and no one in the whole body
was more esteemed and respected by his
colleagues than he.
