The Philistines would not even allow
these parties to work their valuable mines
of brass and iron, nor might they make any
swords or spears. There were only two
swords left in all the land. Yea, these
Philistines went on until they had taken
all the grindstones from the land of Israel,
so that if an Israelitish farmer wanted to
sharpen his plow or his ak he had to go
over to the garrison of the Philistines to
get it done. There was only one sharpen

cHRIsrIAN MEN or SCIENCE

CHRISTIAN MEN OF SCIENCE.
We want to send out against Schenkel
and Strauss and Renan of the past men
like the late Theodore Christlieb of Bonn,
and against the infdel scientists a God
worsbiping Silliman and Hitchcock and
Agassiz We want to capture all the phil
osOphical apparatus and swing around the
telescopes on the swivel until through
them we can see the morning star of the
Redeemer, and with mineralogical hammer
discover the Rock of Ages, - and amid the
fora Of the realms find the Rose Of Sharon
and the Lily of the Valley"
We want a clergy learned enough to dis
course of the human eye, showing it to be
a microscope and telescope in one instru-
ment, with 800 wonderful contlivances and
lids closing 10000 or 10000 times a day, all
its muscles and nerves and bones showing
the infinite skill of an infinite God, End
then winding up with the peroration, He
that formed the eye, shall he not seeP' And
then we want to discourse about the human
ear, its wonderful integuments, mem
branes and vibration, and its chain Of small
bones, and its auditory nerves, closing with
the question, "He that planted the ear, shall
he not hearf"
And we want some one able to expound
the first chapter Of Genesis bringing to it
the geology and the astronomy Of the world
until, as Job suggested, ''the stones Of the
field shall be in league" with the truth and
''the stars in their courses shall fight against
Sisera" Oh, church Of God, go out and
recapture these weapons Let men Of God
20 out and take possession Of the platform.
Let all the printing press Of this country
speak out for Christ and the reporters, and
the typesetters, and the editors and pub
fishers swear allegiance to the Lord God Of
truth.

If the great body Of Christian men have not
the faith or the courage or the conservation
to do it, then let some Jonathan, on his
busy hands and on his praying knees, climb
up on the rock Of hindrance and in the
name Of she Lord God Of Israel slash to
pieces those literary Philistines. If these
men will not be converted to God, then they
must be destroyed.
Again, learn from this subject what
large amount of the church's resources is
actually hidden and buried and undevel-
oped. The Bible intimates that that was a
very rich land, this land Of Israel. 1t says,
s.The stones are IRON, and out Of the hills
thou shalt dig brass, and yet hundreds oI
thousands of dollars worth of this metal
was kept under the hills. Well, that Is the
difficulty with the church of God at this
day. Its talent is not developed. If one
half of it's energy could be brought out,
It might take the public iniquities of the
dav BY the throat and make them bite the
dust. Ifhuman elodu6nce were consecrated

CHRISTIANS NEED TIE SCHOOLS.

So it is in the church of Christ today. We
are too willing to give up our weapons to
the enemy The world boasts that it has
gobbled up the schools, and the colleges,
and the arts, and the sciences, and the lit
erature, and the printing press. Infdelity
is making a mighty attempt to get all our
weapons in its hand, and then to keep them.
You know it is making this boast all the
time, apd after awhile, when the great bat
tie between sin and righteousness has
opened, if we do not look out we will be as
badly off as these Israelites, without any
swords to fight with and without any sharp
ening instruments
call upon the superintendents of liter
airy institutions to see to it that the men
who go into the classrooms to stand beside
the Leyden jars, and the electric batteries,
and the microscopes or telescopes be chill
dren of God, not Philistines. The atheistic
thinkers of this day are trying to get all
the intellectual weapons Of this century in
their own grasp. What we want is scien-
tifc Christians to capture the science, and
scholastic Christians to capture the scholar
ship, and philosophic Christians to capture
the philosophy, and lecturing Christians to
take back the lecturing platform

cons PEOPLE DIsARsrED.

The great idea Of these Philistines was to
keep the Israelites disarmed. They might
get iron out Of the hills to make swords of,
but they would not have any blacksmiths
to weld this iron. If they got the iron weld
ed, they would have no grindstOnes on
which to bring the instruments of agricul-
ture or the military weapons up to an edge.
Oh, you poor weaponless Israelites. re-
duced to a file, how pity you'll But these
Philistines were not forever to keep their
heel on the neck of Gods children. Jona-
than, on his hands and knees, climbs up a
great rock beyond which were the Philis-
tines, and his armor bearer, on his hands
and knees, climbs up the same rock, and
these two men with their two swords, hew
to pieces the Philistines, the Lord throwing
a great terror upon them. So it was then;
so it is now. The two men Of God on their
knees mightier than a Philistine host on
their feet
learn first from this subject how dan
Verous it is for the church Of God to allow
its weapons to stay in the hands Of its enc
mics. These Israelites might again and
again have obtained supply of swords
and weapons, as, for instance, when they
took the spOils of the AmmOnites, but these
Israelites seemed content to have no swords,
no spears, no blacksmiths, no grindstones,
no active iron mines. until it was too late
for them to make any resistance. 1 see the
farmers tugging along with their pickaxes
and plows, and I say, Where are you go
ing with those things2" They say, "Oh, we
are going over to the garrison of the Philis-
tines to get these things sharpened." I
say, ''You foolish men; why don't you
sharpen them at homer" "Oh, they say,
''the blacksmiths' shops are all torn down,
and we have nothing left us but file"

STATE BANKS.

A full discussion of this subject is
advisable before tide financial ques-
ton comes up again iii Congress this
winter. The Richmond Times looks
with favor upon the repeal OF the ten
per cent tax on the issue Of State
banks and says:
Nothing can be more certain than
that men suffer themselves to be
ruled by decisions, when very little
examination and reflection would
wholly clear up the case. The popu
lar prejudice against the notes OF
State banks is a popular delusion
The majority of men now living in
| the United States never saw a State
bank note, and they know nothing
of State bank notes except what they
have been told. They have heard
them connected with the terms wild
cat State banks" and ''red dog cur.
rency'' until they have come to
! imagine that a note issued by a
| State bank must necessarily be noX-
| iOus in it's nature and destructive in
its uses. They wholly fail to make
the proper distinctions. The State
| banks furnished the entire paper cur
rency that this nation had prior to
the war, and in many of the States
| they furnished a currency exactly
! suited to the condition and needs OF
the people and they furnished one
| that spread prosperity all through
| the ranks and masses of the people
| instead of concentrating it in the
p possession of the few, as the national
currency inevitably does from its
uncomfortable tendency to accumu
| la e at money centres"

AN INCOME TAX.

Our esteemed contemporary the
Wilmington Messenger, wants an
income tax upon all incomes above
$4,000 and asks: "Why be always
depressing the toilers and bread
winners ?'' But we subp1it that a
man earning $4,000 a year should
not escape taxation. We continue
this quotation from the Messenger ::
Give the men of small means a
chance. Give the laborers a rest. A
huge tariff tax is enforced upon
them compelling them to pay the
monopolists a good share OF their
wages. Abraham Lincoln, probably
North Carolina born, buo surely
Southern, a wise man as the North
thinks, a kindly man as all think,
had a dread of the money power.
He said this in 1868:
81 see in the near future a crisis
arising which unnerves me and causes
me to tremble for the safety of my
country. AS result of the war, cor
porations have been enthroned, and
an era OF corruption ip high places
will follow and the money power OF
the country will endeavor to pro-
long it's reign by working on the
prejudices of the people until all
wealth is aggregated in a few hands
and the Republic destroyed. | Il Ell
at this time more anxiety for the
safety of my country than ever be-
fore in the midst OF war. God grant
that my fears may be groundless.
His tears were well based. Let the
grasping money power be forced to
pay it's part and share to the full in
the burdens of the country.

need not fear any other party nor
all other parties combined. 1t has
inherent strength which cannot be
broken
In New York there is a defeat for
the Democratic bosses who dictated
the nominations, and the returns
seem to discredit the sagacity of Sem
ator Hill and Richard Croker. In
spite of loud protests from the most
influential Democratic papers, from
the lawyers and from citizens gen.
orally, they persisted in giving Judge
Maynard a judicial nomination.
This caused a revolt and such great
papers as the New York Herald,
Times, World, Post and Brooklyn
Eagle urged Democrats to vote for
Bartlett. The way Judge Maynard
ran behind his ticket shows that the
people were determined to have
judge who was not charged and gen.
orally believed to be guilty of a GRIM
inal act. In Brooklyn the defeat of
mayor whose administration was
scandalous must be regarded as
fortunate. Ohio has reelected Nc
Kinley who is personally a-pure man,
and more popular than his party
1t undoubtedly makes his chance
good OF getting the Presidential
nomination in 1896. Iowa's politics
are much mixed this year with local
discussions and the prohibitory
liquor law. In Massachusetts the
Republicans have won by an old
time majority.
This is an off year politically.
More than that, it has been a year
of extraordinary business depression
when people are easily influenced in
their feelings. The same people who
were influenced to vote against the
Democratic party this year because
business has been bad are the same
who will vote for the Democratic
party next year when business be
comes good.
Generally speaking, the election
does not determine much. It shows
an unusual independence in voting
and reputation of boss rule. If the
repeal bill could have been passed by
the Senate in time for the fall trade
| the opposition would have lost one
specious argument. Stagnation in
business from which the country has
| Just begun to recover has made many
people unhappy and they felt like
kicking against existing conditions.
There are a few who will say that the
elections Indicate q reversal of popu-
lar opinion on the tariff quest ton
But this is absurd. We are living
under the Mckinley tariff system
and it is today one of the causes why
farmers and laborers have suffered
General elections were held in but few
States. Had Nevada and Colorado
voted, the Populists would undoubt
eddy have beaten the Repu blicans by
heavy majorities. There is, in times
like these, considerable fickleness il
politics, but in the general elections
next year there will be something
definite. The New York experiment
of forcing nominations that the PEG
pie do not want will, we hope, not be
repeated. 1t possibly puts Croker
in jeopardy with his own organiza
ton and weakens the hands Of Sena
tor Hill.

THE STATE OF TRADE.

Recovery from the financial depres-
sion is slow just as q patient weak
ened by prolonged attack of fever
regains his health aud strength by
slow degrees. The commercial re-
port of r. G. Dun & Co. says:
The repeal of the silver purchase
act does good already. The bust
ness world in every part of the coun-
try reckons it helpful, and the tone
OF trade is more confident. 1t is
hardly time as yet for the effects to
be felt to any great extent in manu-
features, but bankers are more
liberal in accommodations and mer-
chants more hopeful in purchases
1t is we'll to remember that the act
will do less good than if it had been
passed early in the spring, or will
out delay after Congress assembled.
1t cannot now prevent several thou
sand failures which have already
occurred, nor relieve credito from
endorsements.
Cotton has advanced a little.
Northern spinners have taken less so
far this season than last, but South
ern mills have consumed little more.
The Tobacco trade is improving in
Louisville and there is greater
demand for common grades of leaf
tobacco in Cincinnati. Sales of leaf
tobacco are also increasing i'll Balti-
more.
Southern cities make better reports
as Northern cities Memphis reports
the volume of trade increasing and
the general condition brighter. At
Galveston receipts of cotton are
larger and collections are better.
New Orleans does not present as
favorable report. Collections are
good at Augusta and city trade
active; this is also true at Macon,
but not at Charleston. Atlanta re-
ports trade as good in all lines with
collections improving and prospects
becoming more favorable.
