word "love," and it meant the love OF good
ness, and the fear ofevil, the clinging to right
eoumess and the shrinking from sin.
It was this reverence that made Israel NOR
ally supreme in the pact reverence for their
God, for their faith, for its holy days and their
teachings, reverence for even the smallest and
tiniest of religious duties, for this reverence
for the good brought the good into their life,
their daily conduct and actions. They rever-
enced God as the fountain-head of goodness
and holiness. They reverenced all things good
and holy % the manifestations of God in their
own lives, and because of this reverence, they
were led on the path of righteousness and holy
conduct. It was evidenced in their smallest
action, and it found place in the most trivial
circumstance of life. There was no piece OF
bread broken. no cup of wine lifted to the lips,
NO fruit of field or tree tasted, but that the
Name of the Oliver of all was spoken in bless
ing. There was no journey undertaken, no
journey completed, no violence of nature. wit
messed, no Sabbath greeted, but that the guild
ance of the sleepless eye was asked.
| Mans first fear of tn, gods was born of the
thought of their great power and strength.
Israel's reverence was born of the thought of
Gods ineffable goodness and mercy. Pnmi-
tive man feared because he thought himself
physically weaker than his gods Israel was
to love and fear God because man is morally
weaker than God. Primitive man feared the
strength of his deity, Israel reverenced the ho-
illness of his God. In the immortal nineteenth
chapter of Leviticus, where are laid down the
sublimest rules for human life, the basis Of
of them all is placed, "ye shall be holy, be-
cause I, the Eternal yonr God, am holy"
Thus meant Solomon when he said 6 The
beginning of knowledge is the fear Of the
Lord" proverbs i, ~ The abe of hui
man wisdom il to be humble in the allpervad-
ing presence of the Divine holiness, and reve-
rentially to recognize the infinite and limitless
goodness that leads us all on the highway Of
life.
Yet it is precisely this which is lacking ir
you to day. If the conduct Of modern Israe
be characterized by anything, it is by the con
spicuous absence of all reverence, and the pre-
sence of q most unseemly wantonness in deal
ing with or talking Of things which should NO
lie touched nor spoken Of save with veneratiol
and humility. Israel has emancipated himsel
from the thralldom of rabbinical ceremonial
ism, it is true, but it must be remembered
that emancipation is not anarchy, nor is lib
erty License. There are still, and will foreve
be, some things which human knowledge, evel
the highest and profoundest, cannot grasp, an,
in the presence of which the human worn
must be modest and reverential. The faul

idence OF our communal aims, and tho roproDon-
tatives of our religious ideals. Yet the irrsv-
erence which they ara treated must sauss the
tean to start and the cheek to fame with any
one in whom there isleft spark Of feeling and
love for his faith.
In regard to the Sabbath, it may may b.
true the exigencies and conditions Of our life
necessitate the violation Of the Sabbath, BY
those who are bread-winners. Yet this dos
not necessitste the wanton disregard Of tho
Sabbath on the part Of those who ara able to
distinguish the day. There are many thing
little things to be sure, but life is but bundle
Of little things whereby the day could b
distinguisbed-an it is distinguished
insult. What / would have you
feel is, that - long - You %
knowledge, whether reluctantly on willingly
but as long as you acknowledge this day to BE-
your Sabbath, you should have pride enough
to make that acknowledgement valid. Youi
shall have reverence for your Sabbath in that
you shall not unnecessarily, gratuitously, and
wantonly desecrate it BY having your window
washing, scrubbing, and cleaning done on that
day that you shall not give dances in your
houses ON the Sabbath eve ; that You shall, in
whatsoever, way You can, pay the homage
of your reverence unto the day Of rest.
The spirit of irreverence follows you even
into the house of prayer, and fills the atmo-
sphere here. How few, alas, are there that
come here with the true and earnest devotion,
with becoming humility and veneration. On
i the contrary, each comes in here with an air Of
proprietorship and self-complacency that b TO
i freshing to behold. Once within the build
ing how few seem to come here for real
devotion, how many for mere entertainment
mayhap instruction surely not for prayer.
The lack of reverence is evidenced by your
ceaseless conversation, by the disdain with
which some of you refuse to rise and stand,
when others rise and stand, merely to express
your Independence and freedom from authority,
by the unseemly hurry on the part of many
ofyou to don your wraps while the benediction
is being spoken, which quite contrasts with
the hardness with which those same ones a.
: rive; by the general atmosphere of selfasssr-
ton and self satisfaction that finds its way
! within these very wallis
1t is evidenced again by the manner in
which the pulpit is regarded by you elimi-
nate every element of personality. AS far as
the person is concerned he walks on the path
of his duty in SO for as it is given to him to see
+ and regards all rumors as the idle wind

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-The advocates of
the individual income tax proposition
were triumphant at the final meeting OF
the Democratic members of the ways and
means committee this afternoon at the
treasury department. But little time was
wasted in discussion. The issue was
Joined on two propositions-One to levy
tax of per cent on individual incomes
over $4,000 and against incomes from
corporations Chat is, the difference be-
tween the gross income and the operating
expenses, or, in other words. the net in-
come), and proposition offered as a sub
siitute by Mr.. Cochran to tax incomes
from corporations per cent and Inherit
ances per cent. 80 place an additional tax
of 10 cents on whisky, and 10 restore
sugar to the dutiable list at "a cent per
pound. =
The vote on Mr.. Cockran's substitute
was taken first, and resulted in its defeat
bv a vote of to f. The nays were Messrs.
McMiliu, Turner, Whiting, Bryan,
Bynum. Iarsney and breckenridge. The
original proposition was then submitted,
and carried by a vote OF 6 to 5. The nays
were Messrs Wilson, Cochran, Stevens,
Montgomery and Breckinridge.
1t WAS decided, in connection with the
latter proposition, to increase The whisky
tax 10 cents per gallon, that is, from 80
cents to 81. TO be levied against whisky in
bond as well as out of bond. Upon the
representation that this would work un-
due hardship to he owners of whisky In
bond, it was decided to extend the bonded
period from three to eight years.
The tax on playing cards was reduced
from 6 to cents, and the contemplated
tax on perfumes and cosmetics was dis

GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT.
Height Of q Chimney Increased without

Stopping Factory Work.
A remarkable feat has been recently

of chimney about one hundred feet
high by about thirty feet, without stop
ping the work for a single day.
Owing to the power being increased.

fcient draught for the existing num-
Der of boilers, and one of two altera-

NEW YORK. Jan. 2.-There was heaviness
to the initial dealings on the stock market
this morning which boded no good to values,
and as the day advanced the depression in
creased, the late dealings being more panicky
and feverlsh than those of any other time
during the day. Among the causes of the
break was the circulation of report that a
well known trust company was in trouble.
and this was magnidcd into rumor that
several financial institutions were on the
Verge OF bankruptcy. The basis of the story
is the fact that one Of the lesser financial in
stitutions of the city, which has been weak
for some months past. is likely to go into
liquidation the result of the annual exam

The opening of business on the stock ex-
change was marked by depression. and prices
werc 1sa13 per cent below the closing prices
of Sa urday. In the early dealings the pres.
sure 10 sell sent prices down 3sa1 per cent
Shortly after the opening slight recovery
took place in the general list of 1sa1s per cent.
A bear raid soon checked the improvement,
AT 10 o'clock the temper of speculation under
went change, and, on fairly strong buying
movement, prices advanced halls per cent.
The publication of the Erie plan of reorganiza-
tion did not cause the slightest movement in
the securities of that company.
A selling movement set in shortly after
noon, under the influence of which a general
decline was effected, ranging from a to 1S4
per cent. Sugar receded rs per cent, in
sympathy with the reduction in the price of
refined sugar. Distilling was strong on p,.r
chases by insiders. The market rallied
somewhat later, and prices advanced 1sa4
