Center shots from the Pulpit.

Rev. II. M. White preached sermon
of unusual interest last Sunday night in
the Presbyterian chur Oh to large con-
gregation. His text was Isaiah's de-
scription Of the conditions which pre-
vailed in Judea Immediately preceding
the downfall Of the Jewish nation, and
which bear striking comparison to the
conditions that prevail in this country
to-day. In the opinion of very intelli-
gent persons, said the reverend speaker,
the signs indicate an approaching crisis
in our national affairs. and it is certain
crisis is now at hand in the conflict
between infidelity and religion. At the
time of which Isaiah wrote, Eve dan
gers menaced the Jewish nation First,
covetousness or the aggregation of
wealth In the hands of a few people,
Second, intemperance had become ma
tional vice. Third, pride and conceit
had taken possession of the Jews
Fourth, there was mixed morality,
where they called evil good and good
evil. And, fifth, bribery and corrup-
tioD permeated the whole social and DO
litical fabric.
We find parallel to these conditions
In our own time and country. A few
men control the finances of the nation,
and less than 25, 900 own the bulk of the
country's wealth. Millionaires have
multiplied, when it is debatable qnes-
ton whether man can become a MIL
lionaire innocently. Intemperance is a
common vice, and the saloon power con.
trolls the politics Of the country. 1t was
this phase of the discussion that ell
gagged the attention of the audience for
most of the evening. An earnest APP
peal was made to the young men.
Our conceit was shown in the vapid
boasting Of the progress of modern civ
ilizstlon. yet it is doubtful whether we
have made progress in the essential bet
terments. Advancement in the phys
ical sciences does not compensate for
the loss of morality and character. We
have had too many object lessons to ig-
more the fact that bribery and corrup-
tion prevail in our political life as ex-
tensiyely as they did amoug the Jewish
people immediately preceding the down.
fall Of their nation.
During the discourse Mr.. White
dropped many sentences that deserve to
be perpetuated among pulpit aphorisms.
For example. You may sometimes
see drunken Christian, but no one
ever saw a Christian drunkard :"
I" Gambling 10 stealing - You have
as much right to pick mans money
drawer with burglars tool as you
have to pick his pocket with spotted
card-in either case you get something
for nothing, and it is something to
which you have no legal right :" The
law declares gambling to be unlawful
just as it declares burglary to be I'M
lawful :" 1t is the good-hearted young
man who becomes the easiest victim to
the liquor habit"
The entire sermon. which was deiiv-
cred with great power and earnestness
was listened to attentiyely by the large
congregation, and it'doubtless left Sc
rious impression upon the young men
who were out in great numbers.

Death Of Mr.. p. &. o,Icr.

That dreaded disease, consumption,
FOR the cure of which medical science
has as yet discovered no remedy, has
claimed another victim in the person Of
Mr.. Cameron Oiler, who died at Union,
Monroe county, last Saturday morning,
the 10th inst, a little past l o'clock,
aged about 20 years. Delicate. fIom
youth, with the germ of this insidious
disease in his system, gradually sapping
his vital powers, Cam, as he was IA
military known here, iabored on like a
hero, and, in the course Of few brief
years, became an expert printer, ingeni-
GUS in the manipulation OF type, always
ready and willing to work, faithful to
the interest of his employers, honest in
thought and action and in all respects a
most intelligent and efficient hand
He learned his trade in this office, and
whilst here won the confidence
OF all with whom he came in contact.
For the last five or six years he had been
with the Waterman at Union, where he
enjoyed the full confidence of the pro-
prietor and the good opinion of all the
people. Though never without friends,
he had, as we are informed, but one
living kinsman and he far away In the
West, so that there was no one Of his
own kin to care for or comfort him in
his dying hours. A friend in Union,
writing to us Of his death, says: His
last symptom of CONSEQUENCES was
about a-half hour before his death, when
he asked one Of the boys who was sitting
up with him to come and sit beside him
on the bed and lean against him-an in
stinctive cropping evidently for human
touch and human sympathy as he felt
life slipping away from him." 1t is
gratifying to know that in this sad hour
there were friends at hand ready to do
for him all that sympathy and friendly
interest could suggest. Mr.. Oiler was
in all respects highly deserving young
man and his friends here Will be grieved
to learn of his death. His body was
buried Saturday afternoon in the ceme-
terry at Union, the service being con-
Quoted by Rev. r. III. Wilson, Of the
NJ. E. Church, South, Of which Cam had
been for some time a member.

RED RIVER RISING.

Red river is now on the rise, for
the first time in many weeks, and
the present indications with the
rain coming down, gives rise to
fears of an overflow
The river rose on Friday night at
the iron bridge on the Y, & II, S,
road seven inches, and the reports
say that the water is still rising,
but slowly The water has COM
menced to cut the sand bar away
at the upper end of the draw at the
bridge and the piling is so arranged
as to throw the current to the draw,
and should the river get bank full
even, the sand bar will be cut out
by the force of the current, and
boats will once more traverse the
upper waters Of Red River, when
the stream is up sufficiently for
them to hazard Il trip.
We trust that the water will re-
cede before it gets high enough to
get over the bottoms, as an over
flow now would destroy many crops,
and sand the laud to such an extent
as to make it worthless to repIant
during the present season We
shall give a later report Of the con
dition Of the river If 1t is possible to
