Canton, Ohio, during conference OF Method
list minister's and, on the 22d ult., preached
sermon to an audience of over 1900 people

VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION.
The constitution of tho United States is the
sheet anchor of our hopes, our prosperity ano
the existence of our republic. In open and de-
fant violation of this constitution, Eugene v
Debs to-day sits within the walls of prison
was arrested without a warrant, tried without a
jury and convicted without evidence.
81 was hungered and we gave HE no meat
athurst, and we gave me no drink naked and
We clothed me not sick and in prison and we
visited me not"
Then they answered and said :-"When,
Lord, saw we thee hungered and fed thee not,
or sick and in prison and visited thee not ~
And the Lord said "Inasmuch as we did it
not to the least of these, my followers, we did
it not to me-"
wonder who of this Methodist conference
ever, even in spirit, visited the martyr Debs, or
even carried upon the wings of prayer a pc
tition for him to the throne of grace.
GOD REIGNs.
No, this republic shall not perish from the
earth. The same God who overrules evil for
good, who led four million black men and wo-
men into emancipation, still rules the destinies
of nations. He will not allow seventy mil
lions of his people, black and white, to lose
their liberties and their religion i'll the horrors
of all industrial slavery more mercless than
Moloch.
DUTY OF CHRISTIANS.
The church must not and cannot oppose re-
form. Not only prosperity, but liberty, re-
ligion and civilization itself hang upon the mo-
mentous issue The difference is no clearer be-
tween the blacklist night and the brightest day.
than between the two great policies now before

the horrors of the dark ages, revives the athe-
ism of Tyranny which denies the truth OF the
Declaration of Independence that all men are
equal in rights, and the yet greater declaration
of Almighty God that "of one blood created
He all the nations of the earth" 1t restores
kinshp-irresponsble masters-a BRITISH
aristocracy; that devlish philosophy of "the
survival of the fttest;" the people serfs; the
bayonet at the throat of the thinker and the
patriot; humanity degraded, PROSTATE, helpless.
The Peoples reform points to the dawn of
the worlds perfect morning, government OF
and for and by the people" universal prosper-
ty, happiness, no prescription, no intolerance,
no broken hearts, labor no longer unemployed
and starving and ideness gorging-peace and
plenty and equal opportunity over all the world
"a renewal of that song of the angels, "Peace
on earth, good will to NEIL" The one is night
and all its horrors, the other day and all its
plories, and the bell tolls the hour of destiny
and of doom.
"Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come we to the
fountain and drink of the waters of life. Buy
wine and milk without money and without
price" Or, having eyes will ye see not,
having ears will we hear not, and will we not
understand?

the things which are Cesar's," but l charge
YOU as the sworn servants of God and as you
shall answer at the Great Day:
'Render unto God the things which are
Gods"
