be the chief characteristics of that SER
mon when it does arrive; and I want
to make the remarks appropriate and
suggestive to all classes of Christian
workers.
First of all, I remark that that com
ing sermon will be full of living
Christ, in contradistinction to didactio
technicalities. A sermon may be full
of Christ though hardly mentioning
His name, and a sermon may be empty
of Christ while every sentence is repe-
titious of His titles. The world wants
a living Christ, not Christ standing at
the head Of formal system of theol-
ogy, but q Christ who means pardon
and sympathy and coincidence and
brotherhood and Heaven. A poor
mans Christ. An overworked mans
Christ. An invalid's Christ. A farm
er's Christ. A merchants Christ. An
artisans Christ. An every mans Christ
A symmetrical and fnely-worded
system of theology is we'll enough for
theological classes, but it has no more
business in pulpit than have Thea
technical phrases of an anatomist, or
physician, in the sick room Of a patient !
The world wants help, immediate an,
world-uplifting, and it will comt
through sermon in which Christ shall |
walk right down into the immortal
soul and take everlasting possession OF
it, filing it as full of light as is the
monday armament. That sermon OF
the future will not deal with men in
the threadbare illustrations of Jesus
Christ. In that coming sermon there
will be instances of vicarious sacrifices
taken right out of everyday life,
for there is not day some
body is not dying for others. A

patient by sacrificing his own life; as

while he is taking child out OF

ing; as the newspaper boy, not long
ago, supporting his mother for some

NATTER OF PRINCIPLE.

a NATTER or fh4NC11LG'
With THE PROGRESS, the pres
ont constitutional campaign is one
of principle. The candidates an
nounced, figure therein only so Tar
as they effect that principle. Per-
sonal feeling, with reference to our
relationship to all, is not under
consideration at all. Were this
true, our paper would be in a sore
dilemma. lis well known to many
that our editor has a warm feeling
of personal friendship for Mr..
wise, one of regard, esteem and
appreciation for Mr.. Alexander.
Sd marked is this that We have not
employed some Of the implements
OF warfare Legitimate In politics.
In opposing their nomination as
delegates to the coming Constitu-
Honal Convention. We can not
AFFORD to support either in the pres
emit canvass, because We honestly
and strcnuously believe their sue
cess will result In injury to the
best interests of the people OF our
narish. and to the direct injury OF
the Democratic party as q whole.
BY this We mean that their election
viii further strengthen the In
nucnce Of the present State admin
istration in the politics OF our COM
nonwealth, . condition which no
public-spiritod person, who has
eiven the subject rightful consid-
Grafton, desires.
It II not our aim to indulge in
acrimonious personalities with the
intent to arouse prejudice and
thereby secure q sufficient follow
ing to our standard to win this
contest; because Prejudice always
leads an uncertain, unstable clan
which can not be relied on, and
may--nay, Is very apt-to do fa'
more harm than good. Not par
ticularly TO the side under whose
banner 1t is enlisted, but to the
great object at issue, the better
mont of the condition which gave
rise to the issue. Our interest ha'

the latter's priesthood from him.
These charges are written in no
spirit of enmity, nor with the de-
sire to wound the feelings Of either
gentleman here mentioned. we
write with a heart void Of orfense
toward either. AS we have said be-
fore, we have no friends to lose IN
this campaign, and if our language
is woundingi it is because the words
are true, and those of whom we
speak are guilty of the offences
enumerated.
AS a matter Of truth that will
bear the closest inspection under
the search-light OF Conscience,
continuance Of the reign of Mr.. j.
NJ. Foster in the politics of our
parish will finally destroy the very
bulwark of our body-politic, manly
independence and the patriotism
of public spirit and love Of public
duty. AS it is, no young man need
aspire to leadership or position in
political life unless he acknowledge
Mr.. j. M. Foster as his chief here
and Murphy j. Foster as his SUI
prone ruler, and consecrate his
efforts to the domination of the
faction they rule. This, or he will
bring down upon him and his am
bition all the forces of the Fosters
combine. No matter how we'll equip
ped he may be, mentally, no matter
how we'll preserved he may be in
integrity and moral, Drawn and
strong fidelity to cause and his
convictions, all these are worth
less appendages unless they be
subject to the demand of service
by the Fosters. The people have
no rights which these chieftans feel
obligated to respect, the public no
claim which they think they should
regard. This is deplorable con-
dition which should be abolished
and THE PROGRESS has conse-
Grated it's services to this task in
this campaign. 1t is a public duty
which every man who loves his
lcommonwealth,a and the purity, ano
honor, and healthfulness of he1
body polite, should enlist his best
efforts to accomplish. In the pres.
, ent campaign, Messrs. Alexander
, and Wise are the logical factors
used by the Fosters to perpetuat'
, their reign; Messrs. Levy ant
q Phillips are the mediums whereby
q we hope to destroy it, and we hop
that the manhood Of our parisl
> will put principle above per sona
