The minister who claims to be or
dained of God and through whom the
Lord of life and glory speaks, does
not prove his theory by copying his
sermons.
The minister who will lower his
ministerial dignity by discussing the
scriptures and become better aC-
Quainted by committing them to
memory and says all that do are
nearer az intidel, surely thinks that
ignorance is bliss and expects to gain
admittance to that celestial city with
the class commonly called idiots.
We would ask the ordained minis
ter what point he was trying to
make, unless it was to villify chris
tian men and women.
Will the veteran DemOc ats and
Republicans who have advocated the
issuing Of a circulat ing medium by
the government and the free coinage
OF silver, now stop to consider what
partyism has led them into, in OppO-
sition to their own interests. The
banks have been encouraged by the
late election to do what they never
dared do before. That is, in addition
to gold basis, they demand a reduc-
tiOn in the circulating medium and
place the remainder under the entire
control of the banks. At the bankers
club Of Chicago on the Sth James B.
FOrgan, chairman of the club, said in
opening the meeting that the claim
that there was an insufficiency of Cir
culatiOn was false, but that we all,
(meaning we bankerS) know that
there is redundancy (superabun-
dance, excess of superfuOuS quality
of circulation, and recommended the
retirement of a large portion of the
circulation. Prof. Lauflin, of the
University of Chicago, made a speech
running in the same strain, having
had dictated to him what he should
say to mislead the public, dcknOwl-
edging that That he was hired to
make his talk by saving he was like
Chaunrey Depew, having to speak for
his dinner.
The town Of C"rbin was laid out
and the first buildings erected in the
winter of 'S3 and 'S4, In the spring
Of "a some parties talked over the pro-
priety of buil1Ing church. The
church members were about equally
divided between the Christian and
the NJ. E. church south. 1t was de-
cided that the two organizations
should build union church, that 1t
should be under the control of one,
but that each should have the use of
the building half the time if they
wished, and that other church organ
iZati0nS should have the privilege of
using it when not in use by either of
the two named. With that under
standing, members of several denOm-
inatiOnS and persons who were not
members of any, donated literally.
The building was erected and every
thing passed off pleasantly for awhile.
A union Sunday school was organized
and patronized by sinner as well as
saint. Everything passed off pleas
antly until an NJ. E. preacher by the
name of Mcdonald came and took
charge Of this circuit. He came to the |
conclusion that the church building
belonged to him, lperhaps it was re-
veale0 to him) and some of the NJ. E. |
members began to Ospeak of e church |
as our church. Mr.. Mcdonald con-
Cluded that a union Sunday school
was not just to his liking. He object
ed to union lesson leaves and ordered
a change to NJ. E, lesson leaves. Per-
hapS he accomplished his object, as
some who attended Sunday school
have never been since.
There was an agreement between the
two church organizations mentioned |
that If one was conducting a revival
meeting that the regular meetings of |
the other should be postponed, so
as not to interfere with the revival. |
This agreement has been broken sew

ing to move to the school house, and
not at.all times to accommodate the
Methodists, but the United Brethren,
VINO have never, as an organization,
had any claim on said building, flnan.

should have through the courtesy of
the NJ. Els when not in use by them
or the Christian church. Now in this
as in all other matters, we have aimed
to give a true account as it stands
before the people. We learn that
some parties were offended at an arti.
