THE OBLIGATIONS THAT ARE
UPON US.
BY REV. A. G. GRIER.

Extracts from Occasional Sermon preached
by Rev. A q. Grer of Racine, at the forty eighth
annual Wisconsin Convention of Universalists,
held at Oshkosh. June 11-13, 1896.
The abstract we give below will
fairly outline the work which the Wis
consin Convention is now attempting
to do. Dormant parishes have been
awakened, new pastors settled and
the outlook for forward move is
brighter than ever before. The alb
stract might better be called extracts
from the sermon-as follows:
ITO me man is Christian if he
recognizes the divinity OF I ought
If man sees that in all of life's
varied phases, in work and in play, in
the home or in the shop, there is an
overwhelming balance on the side Of
the 4 ought as opposed toll want to-
he is Christian. That the process
of spiritual evolution is on the high
way towards the state of absolute
obedience and self forgetfulness no
one will deny. But the manifesting
of that purpose is in the recognition
of the divinity of duty. That there
shall be such thing as duty, in the
moral sense, it is necessary that there
be firm belief in an overruling per-
sonal power.
sWe have often wondered that men
are so selfish. The basis of unselfish-
ness resides in faith in one higher
than self. And so any hope for hui
manity's moral progress that is not
based upon a belief in supreme
ruler is false and illusory. AS the
highway of physical evolutions is
fast becoming narrowed and the men,
tai and moral wider, the stronger is
this truth brought home to IFS that
there is to be more and more need of
an abiding faith in God, Father as
we'll as a ruler. There can be no
safety for the State, which is every
year less a physical thing and more
and more moral and spiritual entity,
without the recognition of the relig
ious tie. 1t is perhaps rather in the
recognition of the supreme power
than in his existence that our sense
of obligation comes. And with each
year we are learning with renewed
wonder, the marvellous extent of the
blessings of God.
"This enlargement of the field of
blessing is serving two purposes. 1t
is making us more willing to await
the development of future experience
before we complain of any mysterious
providence, and it is filing our hearts
with deeper love for that source of
every good and perfect gift. 1t is
only too true that man in his lower
estate felt that God gave these bless
ings simply because he loved to g We;
that there was no return expected;
that these gifts brought no new obi
cations. Humanity has gorged itself
with earth's fruits and has cried out
only more loudly "give! give" But
to our more quickened senses OF to-
day it seems that no gift of God is
entirely free. AS recipients of them
we are pledged by every tie of duty
and by every impulse of gratitude to
use these blessings for the welfare of
the world. That we must do SO will
be the relation of tomorrow's exper-
fence.

Professor John b Moore OF the Law
School of Columbia College has agreed to
be the counsel Of Governor Watson in the
DUPONT contest The other counsel will be
ex Chancellor James L. Wolcott and Will
liam +. Kurtz. Mr., Moore yesterday tele-
graphed that he was busy at work on the
case.
1t is not yet known exactly how these at
torneys got into she contest. The State of
Delaware Is no party to it, despite the fact
that Governor Watson engaged the counsel.
They are To present to the Senate commit
tee having the matter in charge an argu-
ment on Tho provisions of The constitution
of this state. just whlt they will say and
how the state will appear In The contest has
been left with the counsel. The argument
Will be written AMI will be presented TO the
Senate committee in that way. 1t Is not
likely that there will be any verbal argu-
lnent made before the committee.
Professor Moore. as counsel In this case,
will be opposed to his preccptor, Edward G.
Bradford. who is OF the counsel for Colonel
DUPONT.
The question is being asked why Attor-
General Robert c, White is not In the
casa. II The state Is part of this contest
then Mi. White, as the legal adviser of the
state officers and the chief nf the states
esal department, should be the one in
charge Of the case. II dnes not appear. how
ever, that Mr.. White Mas consulted In the
matter at all.
The answer to the argument OF Colonel
Duponts attorneys will sbe completed some
ime between now and the holidays, but Just

Twenty Thousand Workers VIII Probably
be Involved In tho Fight.
New YORK, Dec 17-About 1000 tall
ors in this city, Brooklyn and Jersey City
are locked out. There are 1876 shops in the
employers association, and of this number
eighty three have posted the new card, and
the rest arc expected to follow within
few days, SO that 10000 workincn may be
involved, for that Is the number controlled
by the Garment Workers Brotherhood In
the three cities named.
Benjamin Schweitzer, who is at present
in charge OF the strike; Harry Jackson,
member of the executive committee OF the
brotherhood, and o number Of others In
sist that the move of the contractors means
an attempt to return to the old task sys-
tenn. This, they claim, means that the
contractor becomes virtually the judge as
to what constitutes day 'swork He gives
an empioye, for example, ten garments to
do per day, and he has to do them in order
TO get credit for a days work, regardless of
the timeit may take him.
The contract which the employers signed
last summer provided that the hands shall
work ten hours day; that they should
have their own chairman who really
acted chiefly as a timekeeper-in each shop,
and that delegate of the union should
have tho privilege of examining into the
condition of each shop once month, he
being allowed fifteen minutes for the
work. The contractors gave bonds in tho
sum of 500 for each machine. A shop has
anywhere from one to twenty five ma
chimes
The contractors admit the signing of
tho agreement, but say it was one sided
agreement, and that they will have none
of it. Benjamin Wilkosky, the secretary
OF the employers association, insists, how
ever, that the agreement has nothing
whatever to do with the case. ut simply
