MANS DUTY TO GOD.
DIR. Pitzer breaches on Response
hiiity Imposed by the Creator.

hiiity Imposed by the Creator.
Rev Dr. Pitzer delivered a forcefuI sermon
iltthe Central byterian Church yesterday
morning on the responsibility inposeh by
God upon His people 20 preserve Sacredly
the trust OF His holy word.
Dr. Pitzer declared that the responsible
Ity was an intensely personal one. and that
every human being who failed 80 keep it
was an unfaithful trustee, in the relig-
ions sense of the word.
Gods ordained minister's" he said,
''are not to lie solely the preservers Of the
sacred word. They ought, OF course, to
ne good and holy men in their lives as
they were closely watched by the worldly
ana any dereliction on their part always
noted. But ali, whether laymen or min
listers, are held trustees by God l have
always regarded truSteeShip in temporal
matters as one of the most sacred offices
which a man can hold A trustee is sup
posed to guard zealOusly the interests
intIusted to his Keeping We all know
that when trustee is found dishonest that
honest iaep despisa and reviIe him.
Friends, there is equal reason for God
TO Condemn you if you prove unfaithful
~ bhc u uot iilpbsti bl ; you- Cdh 9Ju
deny it? Yet God in his infinite mercy,
VIII forgive you vour shortcomings in
this respect, where in worldly affairs you
would be condemned.
Realizing His loving kindness to you.
even when you neglect your duties to
Him. you should strive to show your ap
probation of it. You should endeavor, with
all your strength, to be worthy of that
trI,st.''

IL MEMORY OF THE DEAD.
Services for This Purpose at the
Second Baptist Church.

Second Baptist Church.
Services in memory Of the members who
have died since the organization of the
congregation in 1910 Were held yesterda Y
morning at the Second Baptist Church
The pastor, Rev. Edmund Hez Swem took as
his text the words; Jesus groaned in the
spirit and was troubled" John xi:33. The
discourse consisted of an exposition OF the
text, an assurance of the power of Christ
to raise from the dead, and the extension
or sympathy to those sorrowing Tor de
parted loved ones.
Mr.. Sven referred to the passage in the
Scriptures which recounts the raising of
Lazarus from tue dead. If Christ had power
to raise Lazarus and later Himself was
raised, so he manifestly has power to
raise bur departed friends. We surely can
get Comfort from this thought and con-
fdently prepare to meet those who have
gone before.
The resurrection of Lazarus led the jews
to plot against Christ's life, in which they
finally succeeded.
The preacher closed with an enumeration
of the comforts to be derived from this
miracle, and applied the lessons TO the
memorial occasion.
The Rev Mr.. Sven announced that the
present month marked the compilation of
the thirteenth year of his passionate at the
Second Baptist Church, and commented
on the increased usefulness of the congre-
cation in the community.

VelOuS RefresHL1eDt OF an a filiy.
DR.. Fiske, at the Gunton Temple Pres
byterian Church. Sunday morning, preach
ed on The marvellous refreshment of an
army from the story of the third chap
ter of Kings II BY way of lesson, he
said, ''Frien ds, our troubles, niseries,
penls and despairs come so of roots
which we know, aud look so to rcIiefs
with whose sources and natural modes
we are familiar, that we set ourselves
on certain specific shapes OF rescue, and
fix our faith, If we have any, on definite
measures or relief We must feel tie
winds blowing up from the rainy quar-
ter. see the clouds gathering in the sky
the sgus, the rain for our moisture; are
wholly unreaGy for anything else. and
won't believe in any other answers TO
cur cry tf agony aud need. That is an
old and bad fashion. Paul wanted tie
:hom out OF mis- flesh, prayed and got
grace, but kept the thorn! Prayed again,
get mere grace and the thorn thrust
,ieepeTl Then lie prayed again beseech-
ing God to take the thorn out, but it
never did hurt him so sorely, and then
he got grace sufficient to make MIN see
that grace was the answer to his cry OF
pain So he kept the thorn in perpetual
token of Gods most gracious answer to
his aeonized entreaty that it might be
withdrawn
What for Paul's greatness. what for
the worlds veal, had God just drawn the
tEon and left hlm, destitute OF this three
fold Increment of grace? Who can guess
at the impoyenshme even of the New
Testament? or estimate the diminished
power of his apostolic work? Paul might
else have been, not the great, but the
unknown apostle and the ministry of
grace to the GenaIes have been as in
effective as that to. the Jews. Your
trouble, friends has got IS antidote when
you have committed 70 God and believed

 It Is thought a fusion might be effected between the silver republicans and pops ulists but the committee to which 1t was referred could not agree tonight to give places on the ticket to both of these ele- ments and the whole question of fusion will be referred to.the convention to- morrow without recommendation. The. platform Is for free silver and nothirg' else. It simply .reaffirms. the Chicago3 platform and repeats the language of the financial plank. There was no new matter in the platform. It was the iIl-s tention of Mn Mclean last year to have the state convention adopt only one resez lution and that the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1. and it was the same al Chicago, but he had his way. today and there can be no doubt as to it's adoption by the convention tomorrow.
