The object of religion and the aim of its
ministers have become wonderfully differ
ent. since the American Republic was es-
tablisned. from what they were in ancient
or medieval times, or even down 10 the
opening of this century. The religions of
the ancient world had very little to Go with
morality. They were propitiatory and pro-
tective. The Christian religion and its min
listers for the last fifteen hundred years
were chiefly concerned with the concilia-
ton cf an offended God, the provision of Sc
curities for individual happiness in a future
life. these securities being attainable by
persons whose mode of life in this world
has been of questionable, or even vicious
quality, and the offerings Of joys in another
world as consolation or compensation FOR
sufferings or evils in this. Since TIE begin
ming of this century a revolution has ac-

most every Christian nation. but has had a

Prediction from Orange County.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ORLEANS, Ind. Sept. 29.-The race for
congressional honors in the Second con-
gressional district is now on in earnest. The
two aspirants, Col. a. NJ. Hardy. the Re-
publican nominee, and Congressman Bretz,
now asking for a third term. are stumping
every inch of the territory in the district.
Colonel Hardy is a fluent speaker. is Well
versed in the issues of the day., and is
meeting with large crowds and enthusi-
astic receptions in every school district. He
is leaving a set of questions at each place
for his opponent, who is closely following
him.. In several places the questions have
been put to Mr.. Bretz, but in each case
he has carefully avoided them. Colonel
Hardy will be the choice of Orange county
voters by a majority of at least 300. This
county has with two exceptions, when ii
went Republican by fifteen to twenty-five
votes. been Democratic for all time, but it
will wheel into the Republican column this
time.
The campaign was opened for the De-
mocracy in this city to-day by Congress-
man Bretz to a slim gathering. 1t was in
tended TO make 1t a big day, but by actual
count there were only 1inety-three in the
opera house. fort S-Seven of whom were Re
publicans and three PopuliSts.
