ENGLISH LUTHERAN.
The Purpose and Use Of Scripture the
Subject of Mr.. Balls Discourse.

The sermon of Rev. ]. w. Ball yester-
day was from a text in Romans xv., 4.
The theme of the discourse was The Pur-
pose and Use of Scripture. There are
times in life, the speaker said, when we
are compelled to turn our thoughts in
upon ourselves. 1t may be religious
emotion or aff1iction that directs our
gaze inward. And we then delve into the
recesses Of our own hearts as we never
did before. But the more we study our
own hearts, the more we become con-
scious of two forces struggling for the
mastery. and victory perches now upon
the one side. now upon the other. Like
the Latin poet, or like st. Paul, how
many are led to exclaim: 1.-THE better
things I approve;; l do the worst! l
find then law that, when I would
do good, evil is present with me-" AS
we pass from the individual experience
to the facts of life, as we observe them
about us, we find the same struggle. And
we feel compelled to the belief that these
things are not as they should be, and,
doubtless, not as they were meant to be.
We turn now to Gods word and one of
the first things that we observe is that
Gods word knows all about this state.
Holy men of old spake as they were
moved by the Holy Ghost against this
very condition. Their words were in
deed disregarded and trampled under
foot, and they would long since have
perished, had they not been placed in
written form. Those writings were
meant not merely for that day, but for
every generation, since they were writ
ten for our learning
We have already noted their testimony
to the fact of human depravity. They
also reveal to us the mind of God, his
perfect law and righteous judgment
against sin. But were this all that
Scripture teaches u.s. we were then most
miserable. Conscious of sin and of the
ill-desert of sin we should look forward
with despair to the coming judgment.
But that record testifies also of plan Of
redemption. Scarcely were our first pa
rents driven from the garden when the
promise of a redemption was given unto
them. That promise was repeatedly re-
newed to Gods chosen people, till it's
fulfillment in Christ Jesus. In him re-
demption is an accomplished fact The
judgment is robbed of it's terrors, and
dismay gives place to joy. The Scrip
lures now teach us patience and COM
fort, that we might have hope. How
precious is that hope! We long for it's
fulfillment!
Continuing, Mr.. Ball dwelt upon the
universal influence of the Bible, and
concluded with a picture of the weary
Christian passing through the gate of
death and finding it. on the other side, to
be the gate of life. 1t is this precious
word, he said, that reveals unto us that
gate. 1t is our Redeemer who opens
unto us.
The evening service was given to the
Womans Home and Foreign Missionary
society. Special music. suitable to the
occasion, was rendered by the choir, Mr.
Everett A. Messerly, leader, and by Miss
Rosina Rosin. The papers presented

TEMPERING GOD.

L.
The most peculiar feature l have
noticed in the God of our forefathers.
and the God of our own individual
salvation, is the sublime ease with
which he can be tempered to suit the
age and the greed of the people who
profess to love and wors hip his name.
No matter how pure and chartitab BILE
religion may be at it's origin, nor
how strict Gods commands may be
concerning certain little shortcom-
lDgs in the wors shippers, in a few years
tine people get God tempered down
sufficiently to graft whole lot OF
their contempt bleness on to the ORR
ginal plan of salvation, and still have
the pleas ure of his appreciation.
How beautiful we have tempered
God down to suit our neglect of the
poor; and when we meet a man who
has poorer coat or boots, or more
dilapidated hat than we have, we
cases we are to thank God that we
have been more bountifuily blest at
Gods blessed hand. And then, after
we have skinned, and hogged, and
ground, and gouged, and oppressed
the miserable poor, and robbed them
Of the fruits OF their la Dor until we
have accumulated several millions of
dollars, we then begin to thank God
that he has SO literally blest us and
showered wealth upon us out of his
great goodness Of heart. And God al
lows US to temper him down to that
degree, and everything is lovely in
chris tian circles.
And when the times get hard
through the process of Skinning, and
the poor suffer poverty and want, and
the streets are Mortified with child
beggars, and hopeless mothers, and
forlorn prostitutes, and hunger and
squalidneSS and rags and dirt make
the novels of the miserable poor dis
grace in the eyes Of just GOd-then
we erect fine church buildings, and
decorate them with memorial win
dows, and gild the altar with precious
metals and silk trimmings, and God is
tempered down to taking delight in
these gewgaws and toys, and the poor
are forgotten in the brilliancy Of
church tinery.
We had tempered God to approve of
human slavery until infdels and scof.
fers laughed us to scorn, and then we
set tvwOrk and re-tempered God to
approve of liberating the black slaves
through the medium of the bloodiest
war known to our country's history.
And today we are thanking God for
the inventive genius that is revolu-
tionizing the industrial world with
improved machinery; and we buy up
the new inventions and use them to
crowd the laboring man out Of en-
ployment, and temper God down to
approving our damnable course Of
robbery and barbarism, and we die in
the hope of glorious resurrection
and an eternal existence in the pres
ence of handicapped deity.
Oh, hypocrisy! Oh, sham! Oh, SUBJ
lime ignorance and brutality, under
the reign of a lot of human beasts
who own handmade god! Yet the
hungry, miserable poor starve; God is
enjoying himself with his gilded toys,
and blessing his millionaires.

AN OLD KEpUBLICAN SPEAKS.
JUNGLE DICK" THOMPSON ON SILL
VEP

n.
A bombshell was thrown into the repub-
can camp at st. Louis by an interview with
COL Richard w. Thompson, the "old man
eloquent" of the republican party, who
commenced his career with Henry Clay
away back in 1882, and has been a delegate
to nearly every national convention of the
party, besides writing many of the plat
forms. Mr.. Thompson is a delegate at
large from Indiana at st. Louis and is
chairman of the state delegation. He is
now 81 years, served in Hayes cabinet as
secretary of the navy and is one of the
most notable republicans N the union. He
was interviewed at st. Louis by the Post
Dispatch on Tuesday of this week and is
reported as saying:
l have been actively engaged in politics
for sixty years. | witnessed the birth of
the republican party and have followed its
fortunes through sunshine and rain. 1t is
standing on dangerous ground today If it
ignores silver in its platform it VIII lose

Ing among the people on any subject than
exists for silver today. Bimetallism is the
American creed. / care not how It's resto-
Ntion is brought about in our monetary
Nstem, whether by international agree
ment or independently, but l do know
that the masses of the people are N no
mood to be fooled VITA and the quicker
the platform makers are brought face to
face with the realization the better it will
be for the party helped to make.
An interview with the Colonel in an
other part of the same paper contains the
following:
"What are your views on the currency
platform to be made by this convention?"
Il believe N the recognition of silver.
It is constitutional money. l would insist
on its being kept at parity with gold.''

ment?"

The Republican national convention
took very appropriate and consistent &C
ton when it selected Jewish rabbi as
chaplain. The prayers for "goldt" will be
very affecting to the delegates, though
their efficacy upon the peop-e may be
doubted. However, the chaplain of a Re-
publican convention is not expected to
pray for anybody but the delegates. Like
the prayer asking the Lord to "bless me
and my wife, my son John and his wife,
we four and no more" the prayers at a
Republican convention are not expected
to include the public in general. The
delegates and the gold sharks be blessed
and the public be damned is the SUBJ
stance of it.

THE CRISIS is HERE.
A Terrible Danger Menacing the
Country.
The Greatest Political Upheayal in the History
of the Country Will Take Place This
Year on the Money Question.

SchllEng's Milwaukee Advance.
Two national conventions have met and
have resulted in split.
Two more will meet and there will be
two more splits.
If the democrats adopt silver platform
the gold men will bolt-if they adopt gold
platform some of the silver men VIII bolt
IT the conservative element controls the
peoples party convention the radicals will
bolt and if the middle in the road men con :
troll, the conservatives who consider the
free coinage of silver the panacea for all
existing ills, will support the silver demo-
Gratis or the Teller movement.
But why should they?
Suppose we have free coinage of silver
and every dollar of silver mined is added to
the currency? We mine about $6O,OOO,-
600 of silver per annum, and if this
were all coined it would not add one dollar
per capita to the money IN circulation.
But half the silver mined in the country IS
exported, large quantities are consumed in
arts and sciences, so that it is safe to say
that the amount added to the money in cir
culation by free silver would not amount to
more than Is cents per capita per annum.
At this rate it would take long time to
increase the currency and relieve the exist
ing distress.
And yet this is practically all that the
Teller movement assumes to secure.
Under these circumstances the address
issued by number of populists at St.
Louis is unexcusable and wrong.
1t was injudicious to attempt to fore
stall the acton of the convention. Popu-
lists are disposed to do their own think
ing and object to having others, whether
leaders" or not do it for them. And
even if the suggestion were a good one it
was ill-advised. The national conven-
ton is the only and highest authority of
the party in the land and such matters as
nominating candidate should be left to
that authority.
But the suggestion of Teller for president
is not good one-on the contrary it seems
to be more than dangerous. How is he to
run? If nominated by the democrats the
populists would have to sink Their identity
and vice versa.
Now suppose Teller is nominated as
democrat? In more than two-thirds of
the states they have the Australian ballot
law. If Teller is nominated by both par
ties, there must be a fusion on electors,
and in al probabilities on state and local
tickets. What shall this ticket be called?
Democrat, peoples or some hybrid name?
Unless it be headed peoples Party
Ticket" it would be the death Of our party,
because at the next election we would only
get the names of our candidates on the bal
lot as individual nominations.
So let our friends be warned in time.
The Trojan horse is stalking and while
the people who have issued the address
urging the nomination of Teller may mean
well, there is a danger that we should guard
against
We have men of brains and ability in
our ranks who are fully competent to fill
the position of president. Why should we
go out of the party't to take an eleventh hour
conyert-in fact man who IS not con-
vert at all?
