a Good Samaritan

The genius Of Christianity, in
It's relation 10 poor, suffering hui
rnanity, is brought out in the
parable cf the Good Samaritan, as
it is generally called. Our Lord,
by his picture of the poor man
who had f&'len among thieves and
suffered severely By ehvi' av@ricc
and cruelty, evidently intended to
set forth the condition Ct the
average mar-hea:cn, stripped
aud lefs 70 dc il his misery. o.
dinarY 2sople-the poocer classes
were banded roughly BY al
who CAM ma th-ln-a p-ey foT
Ell who chose - use tbem. TIE
poor or working man had TO
nc;ghb2r. ~ cyc 50 pity, no hand
to save.
The Good Samaritan represents
the ap.ris Of Christianity, which
Is charity. The man who has
Mear0e3 OF Jesus" Can pass 70
sufferer BY; IFS his very nature TO
pity and h1ip. He must come
nearer. S e. fcal Tor aad relieve TO
the measure Of his ability, and at
person loss, l. may be; he can
nor h Indifferent u the wees OF
his fallo#.;aGn. Other religions
may pass b. OF The ether side"
Christianity, that is a real, not q
pseudo-Chrissianity. must draw
near, ltie Up lha fallen ard b@ar
them to the inn # safety and
peace.
Perhaps in 70 oth-r WY is the
genius Of Christianity more clear
Iy shown THAI in tie manner il
which rl.i-t IS given. 1t Is through
personal eI5.t. L may be that
the priest who has been so severe
" c2nsurad through the ages fer
hurrying away from this sad scene
was as deeply moved IS the Coos
Samars-aa. D1. nc was, perhaps,
a great believer in the virtues Of
cred tape and SO hurried eff to
organic Q society fer the relief Of

thieves. Like IS not, he had
grand plans fer the future, and SO.
cheerod himself, as re moved on
to the ciy, with the thought of
rhe coca NJ might do some day.
Unfortunately. here lay this poor
man, his hl4-blood ebbing away,
while the society was being prop
erly organized for his relief. Then,
toe, for ages we may have done
the Levite gross injustice in
thinking he had no pity for the
poor man lying there So helpless
on the roadside. Who knows but
the Leviee hurried away to ar
range for charity bail or "kir-
miss" the proceeds-if there
should be any left after the affair
was ovcr-to so to this poor suf-
ferer. That's a popular way in

These extracts are taken from the Chron-
icle, the only democratic daily newspaper
in the great city of Chicago: "The dec
laration In favor of Reputation and financial
chaos Is just what everybody expected from
the Chicago mob of homogeneous elements OF
destruction, fraternizing in incendiarism
and the hope of general confagration.
y = There is no possibility of free
silver victory in Chicago, in Cook county'or
In Illinois. The nominee of the Chicago
convention is beaten as surely as If the re-
turns we're already In. He will lose the
state by 10000 votes. Let the fanatics who
believe otherwise mark the prediction.
The men who cheered Hill In the galleries
will be at the polls In November"
The persistent solicitations of the friends
of John A. Morrice, of Perry, to induce
him to become candidate for sheriff before
the republican county convention, have re-
suited in his stating to them that he will
not refuse the nomination II 1t is rendered
him. Mr.. Morrice is one of the best known
republicans in the county and it Is probable
that he will have large vote In the con-
vention. THE TIMES understands that the
townships of Perry, Antrim, Bennington
and Woodruff will give him practically a
solid endorsement.

Hastings Banner: The friends of Prof.
j. w. Simmons, of Owosso, are booming
him for member of the state board of edu-
cation. This Office is one of the most i'm
portant ones in the state, and far too little
attention is paid to it. The state board has
control of the state normal schools and
grants state certificates. Prof. Simmons Is
q college graduate, good business man snd
one of the most prominent educators of the
state, having been superintendent of the
Owosso public schools for the past seven
years. He is also q prominent writer for
educational journals, and is author of work
on Qualitative Chemical Analysis. He is a
member of the Business Mems Association,
OF Owosso, and prominent in the business
circles Of :hs city. With such men as Prof.
Simmons at the helm the school interests of
the state will be well looked after.

The Owosso Press refuses to support the

1t is not populist. 1t is not anarchist. We
can endorse neither the republican platform
made at st. Louis, nor the populist and an

The republican party cannot make a
greater mistake than to nominate candi-
date for governor who does not thoroughly
believe in and uphold every plank of the
national platform. 1t would be cowardly
to do otherwise. To nominate man with
pronounced silver views would put every
speaker and newspaper on the defensive,
while the nomination of candidate who be.
lieves in the financial plank Of our platform
would make it unnecessary to 20 into any
explanations. Let's have square out fight
and thorough understanding of the cur

with the platform. The republican party
never lost anything by making such fight
and It will not in the campaign of '96.
