| Rev. DIR. Keigwin, pastor Of West Pres.
bvterian Church, corner of Eighth and
| Washington streets, preached II sermon on
sunday morning, in his church. on the
coming Presidentional election
He chose as his text Leviticls XIX, 35th
and .Dith verses. Eye shall do no upright
cou ness in Judgment in mete-yard yard
slick) in weight or in measure, just bal
anc s. just weights, just epha lbushei)
and Il lust hin, (gallon) shall we have.
! He introduced the sermon by saying that
to tho christian there was nothing more
! definitely settled than the truth OF an over
ruling Providence.
He said Gods Providence regards the
acts, and controls the conduct of every
individual, restraining when restrain Is
necessary, and directing all events SO as
to accomplish the divine purpose.
That 1t shapes all the events of history,so
that in the final solution of all the great
social problems; Gods will shall be done
on earth as it is in Heaven.
He,referred to the great parade OF Satur-
day night and said he regretted that the
invitation was limited to tho Hepubilcan
party, for If all lovers of their country who
were opposed to revolution and in favor OF
the policy of tho government Us 1t haI OK.

wears of the existence of our nation ike
it. 1t was great political parade where
manufactures and great business con
Germs, employer and employee, appeared,
us business men, not as clubs, to show
their sympathy for cause.
Our view is limited, our Judgment i'm
perfcct, and often blinded by our desires
and Intentions but God drives on in his
purpose linking one event to another with
unerring precision.
He referred to the civil war which OBJ
liberated all party lines III the phtflotG
zeal to save the union and said that SUCH
seemed to be the case at present, All the
great newspapers whose editors houiu
and reflect the best thought of the aye az
prominen statesmen who in the clash OF
forensic strife had gained the respect OF
the nation and whom all men OF every
marty respected for their intelligence, their
manhood, their probity of character.
Nearly all the leading business mon

and intelligence shed lustrc on American

economy, all Presidents Of colleges anu

nearly every minister of The gospel in tho
land were II unit in opinion concerning
he great questions now before tho coun-
try for dcCissn in the Presidential con-
test
The speaker then said his text showed
Gods ideas IF business and government
First concerning business he said God
was deeply interested and required wheth-
or in large or small transactions strict
honesty. A Just yard stick, bushcl and
gallon measure whether of silver and gold
or of cloth or potatoes.
II government by law should require
either the capitalist Or laborer to accept 90
cents worth Of silver for 100 cents God
was against that government that II mat,
tered not whether after accepting the 90
cents, thnt by some alchemy Of the rec civ
cr, hands the 80 cents became Immediately
five dollars it was dishonest tran ton
to force Il creditor to receive it, that GOD
never intended half to be equal to the
whole That no possible CLOSING OF tho
matter with con lecture about posi- Die
rise in value could enter into tho transac-
ton.
What metals or anything else were
worth ut tho time of the transaction was
all that IN honest man could consider
God could not countcnanCc the lnfamy or
forcing upon our fellow men the fiction OF
n possible increase in values, and there
