The following is an outline of his
sermon:
In the 10Th Psalm, which ! read as
my first lesson, and the seventh verse,
we have these words: The law of the
Lord is perfect" Of course we all un-
practicable only of the infinite, the eter-
nal, the self-eXistent, the self-sntlicient,
etc. OF the creature, perfection may be
perfected just in so far as it serves the
purpose of the Creator; just so far as 1t
meets the ends for which it was meant.
In the true sense of the term the law Is
divine in It's origin. The text announces
that the law of God is perfect, and this
discourse is intended to Vindicate, in
some important shapes. this claim, and
in ylndication of the claim | call your
attention in the first place to the fact
that the law of God furnishes channel
through which knowledge of the
divine unity comes to us. is made con-
ceivable upon our part and made prolit-
able to us, and | shall say that the law
of God alone furnishes this channel.
In the first place, the law of God IL
one. and because the law of God is one
we easily conclude that its author Is
one. Then again the divine law fur

TIE AMERICAN MIND.

The study of history and literature
is pre-eminently inductive. Our atten-
ton is first arrested by the single
event and the individual mind, and we
rise gradually to the concept of the
nation and the national mind. Under
the latter term we include the vital
powers expressed in the phenomena of
national life, inasmuch as the history,
the political institutions, the literature,
the laws and the manners of Il people
are but visible or audible expressions

FIERCE rLurGII-suAEEs.

In oldcn times, when II city was
doomed to destruction for wIckedness
or other causes, it was burned to the
ground, and the surface ploughed over
and sown with salt. Thus the place
was purified, and the city blotted out
of existence gave way for new scenes.
So also in the publication and refin-
inc of human lives, every man must
feel the great plough-share of aflliction.
Sin must he eradicated, and the soul
made ready for the sowing of seeds,

Just ourselves to the divine grace; 1t
teaches man how to live. Christianity
comes to teach us to live with reference
to our spiritual relationship to God, our

Christianity teaches us to live sober

God embraces responsibilities touching

of a day as presented in a newspaper is

PERTAINING In any manner, they have not
been heard OF In Las Vegas up to the
present date, and to this every member OF
the Masonic grand lodge will add testi-
mony, who sat at the banquet table In the
Masonic hall last evening. There were 100
plates set and the tables were so hand
somely decorated with flowers. and the
lights and colors Of the beautiful banquet
room were such that the scene will not be
soon forgotten by those present.
or the impromptu speeches that were
made, there were SO many that II would be
useless for this paper to attempt to give q
Synopsis of them, but during the supper,
the orchestra, composed OF Miss Edith
Rothgeb, Max Nordhaus, Edw. Sporieder
and L. Miiligau, furnished the banqusters
with delightful music, and afterward, Miss
Blanche Rothgeb sang q beautiful solo that
was highly appreciated by the guests.
The grand lodge meeting In this city was
a success In every particular. The citizens
Of Las Vegas were glad to welcome the
members here and the guests were evil
IDENTIFY pleased with the city and the treat
ment they received. From every aide
could be heard expressions Of surprise and
appreciation of the Masonic temple here,
its equipment and arrangement being su-
perior to any temple between Denver and
California.

Don't Feed the Tramps.

Marshal Clay has the soup kitchen in
good running order nov and any man
without means who desires something to
eat and is willing TO work for it, can be
accommodated by the CITY. This is not a
disgrace, nor does the laborer become i'm
prisoned against his will, but it takes the
excuse to beg from the many idle tramps
who are q nuisance to the public. In every
instance where an individual case has
been investigated, it has been found
that street beggars are unworthy
and have money in their
pockets. Yesterday, a gentleman of this
city gave a young tramp an order for a
meal on a short-order restaurant. In the
course of his repast, the tramp became
confidential with the waiter and boosted
of how he worked the people and showed
that he had several dollars In his pockets.
He was watched, after he left the restau-
rant, and was seen playing his old game
of begging on the street rne
IT you are asked for money or food by
one of the 'profesh," refer him to the
