COD AND THE CONSTITUTION.
Rev. MT. Foster Says Citizens Loyal to
 Christ Are Debarred from Voting

Rev. MT. Foster Says Citizens Loyal to
 Christ Are Debarred from Voting
 New York, Oct 25.-In his sermon to- day Rev. FM Foster, of the Third Re- formed Presbyterian church, declared that as the constitution of the United States did not recognize God all citi- zens loyal to Christ were debarred from voting.
 Ut is the duty of the Christian" he said, "to refuse to swear allegiance to the constitution of the government which does not recognize the authori- ty of Almighty God"
 MT. Foster said the laws of God were broken every Sunday by the govern ment. He said: "The government will admit into the service of the postoffice department only those who will swear they will violate the fourth command ment and keep the office op n on the holy day. The candidate for office must, &C., cording to the constitution, swear that he will uphold the laws which contra dict the laws of God. The Christian loyal to Christ cannot take such oath or If he does he becomes a sharer in all the wickedness which is fostered and protected by this government. As all candidates must take this oath the Christian citizen is debarred from voting on the principle that he cannot ask another to do what he may not do himself. The Christian citizens can- not vote because the constitution does not require Gods qualifications for of ficial trust Moral qualifications are re- quired in the office bearer"
 MT. Foster said, after the sermon, that none. of his congregation would vote election day.

REV. T. srANLEY ROOT
Speaks Upon "The Relations of the Church
 to Social Conditions."

Rev. F. Stanley Root of this city, late pastor of the Park Congregational church, Hartford, preached last even- ing at Taylor Congregational church on 'The Relations of the Church to Social Questions" He was introduced by the pastor of the church. Rev. H. l.. Hutch ins. MT. Root has given much atten- ton to the subject upon which he spoke last evening. He spoke of books in his library which illustrated the thought that Christ's teachings apply most em- phatically to the life that now is in all its phases. The importance of great so- cial questions, formerly little touched upon by the colleges, is now fully rec ognized, as is seen at Yale with Profess sor Blackman as teacher of Christian ethics, at Chicago university with Pro- lessor Graham Taylor and at other colleges.
 MT. Root said that there were many social conditions that should be chang ed and improved in accordance with the teachings of Christ. Instructing men how to live best is the duty of the hour The speaker had no words to utter against the honest possession of wealth and said that the men of wealth who did great public good to others, were the ones to emulate. He spoke of trusts as opposed to the best interests of the country, and said that, though twenty four states had laws against trusts, in none of them was the law enforced. The church is oft times silent about so- cial evils that call for a remedy. The speaker said he would not advise a young man to enter the ministry unless single man and independently rich, and intimated that he had suffered be- cause of his antagonism to unfair so- cial conditions. Institutional churches had come to stay. In such churches social problems could be fully and free- ly discussed, as they could not be in fashionable churches.

People Who Will Not Vote for Bryan.

Those who live by wages received
by their daily labor. They don't want
a 53-cent dollar. The more the dollar
is worth the better they like it.
The men who live on fixed salaries.
teachers, clerks, officials, professional
men and the rest. They don't want to
pay twice as much for what they buy,
while their salaries remain the same.
All those who are proud of their
country aud want to save its honor
from disgrace and its credit from de-
graduation.
By all, of course, we mean all of
those citizens who are not deluded
fools or incurable cranks, and are not
lost in ignorance. But even when the
whole number Of such unfortunates is
allowed for, there will still remain the
vast majority of the people of this
country. There may be men who pre-
fer the half to the whole. Drunken
men and lunatics will sometimes burn
their money. But some people prefer
to get all they can for their dollars
Hence, they prefer gold to silver.
The truth Is, Bryan could not lead
to the polls a force of voters bigger
than CoXey's famous army of tramps
was when it got to Washington, if hu-
man society were not always burdened
with a lot of stupidity put upon 1t by
Divine Providence, we suppose, to
keep it's muscles trained by the exer-
ton OF carrying the dead weight.
The more the people know of Bryan
and his doctrine the less they will
want him and them. He can't stand up
against the popular common sense

The Prices Which the Farmer Pays
"A Detailed Statement of the

Not Invite the Attention of Farm

I notice one of the opponents Of free
coinage said the other day that If the
farmer had suffered from falling prices

in falling prices of what he went to
buy. That may all be well enough Tor
some one who is not farmer to tell
a man who Is a farmer. 1t would never
be told by farmer himsel1.-Mr.
Bryan at Syracuse, August 70.
Mr.. Bryan was then preaching the
silver doctrine Of the 81 that should
have it's purchasing power reduced,
doctrine which he kept in the DacK-
ground at Madison Square Garden
where he promised that with free coin
age the 53-cent silver dollar would at
once come to have value OF lOO Genus

But does not every intelligent farmer
know that there has been a great 1all

the prices of the things he has to buy,
and that the decline began before 1873!
We are not aware that up to this
