Bay Ctty.-The First Baptist church
of this city is engaged at present in
defending the title to it's parsonage, a
fine building and two lots at Fifth and
Biruey streets. Four years ago the
council ordered q sidewalk constructed
along one side Of the parsonage
property In time, the city contractor
built the walk and the cost was placed
on the assessment roll. The amount
being unpaid, the property was re-
turned with other delinquent taxes and
finally sold by the state, Roberts Is
Crane OF Flint, being the purchasers.
Now these gentlemen want the property
and the church is fighting for its
retention. The attorneys for the church
allege that, although the sidewalk vas
properly ordered, no notice was served
on the church officers, nor were they
aware that there was an assessment
against them. The case was partly
heard in the circuit court. Judge Max

Odessa, Get. 1-Advices point to an
acute economic crisis and probably a
wheat famine during the coming
winter. Tne crops in northern and
central Russia are a complete failure
and wheat, thought to be a record
harvest in south Russia, proves to be Il
harvest far below the average. The
gram is sparse, small sized and very
light The farmers are throwing their
stocks on the market in order to meet
the Michaelmas demands and the
heavy laborers hire. Prices therefore,
have fallen considerably; but a reac-
ton is inevitable and prices are bound
to boom as experts predict that the
supplies are wholly inadequate to meet
the winter requirements.

We shall retain. they are retained"
and in order to show the extent and
significance of this power, Christ in
st. Matthew, XVIII Chap. XVIII
verse expressly declares himself
bound to ratify their action in refer
ence to the retention and remission
of sin "Amen, / say to you whatso-
ever you shall bind on earth shall be
bound also in Heaven, and whatso-
ever you shall loose on earth shall
be loosed also in Heaven"
Three things therefore are well
established from Holy Scripture,
first, the Apostles received from
Christ power to forgive sin; second,
they received power to retain sin;
third, God would accept their ver-
dict, whether they loosed or bound,
and whatever they loosed on earth
would be loosed in Heaven and
whatever they bound on earth would
be bound in Heaven.
The bestowal of this most extra
ordinary power on the Apostles evil
IDENTIFY implied that the Apostles
were to use it when there was need.
The civil authority confers certain
powers upon public officials for no
other purpose than that the powers
may be used as occasion requires, so
1t must be supposed that Christ in
comforting the power of forgiving and
retaining sin upon the Apostles,
meant that they should use this
power. He therefore gave together
with the power, the means whereby
it could be put into practical opera
ton. To suppose otherwise would
be to accuse Christ of meaningless
trifling. 1t is a plain and fixed prin-
ciple of civil law as we'll as of the law
of common sence and pure justice to
confer the use Of the necessary
means with the power itself.
Chancellor Kent lays down the fol-
lowing principle, "The powers given
to government employ the ordinary
means of execution and the gov
ernment in all sound reason
and fair Interpretation must have the
choice Of the means which it deems
the most convenient and appropri.
ate to the exercise of the power. "
Applying this most reasonable and
just principle to the power conferred
on the Apostles of forgiving and re.
tanning sin, they must have received
together with the power, the means
necessary to carry it into practical
effect.
This being established it follows
that the remission of sins commit
ted after baptism, could only be
obtained from the Apostles who had
received power to forgive and retain
sins, for If the remission of sins could
be obtained otherwise it was useless
to give the Apostles power to retair
sins for it would be inefficient. II
Christ established power independ
ant Of the Apostles for the pardon o.
sins and gave the Apostles power tt
retain sins, he would confer a con.
Trajectory power, and would have
thus established what he 80 en-
phatically condemned. EVERY
kingdom divided against itself shall
be brought to desolation, and house
upon house shall fall" ST. Luke
XII Chap. 1t therefore follows thai
the Apostles had the exclusive power
on earth to forgive sins, and since
the power given to the Apostles tC
forgive sins was exclusive, anyone
wishing to be freed from the sins Of
which he was guilty would be ablig'
ed to apply to the Apostles for for
givness. He would not give them
this power and require them to ex.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1898-10-13

ercise it and promise to himself ratify
their acts and at the same time give
the party offending the power to
escape the exercise Of this function.
And since the bestowal on the
Apostles of the power to forgive sins
implied a command to use that
power when there was need, so to the
bestowal Of the power to retain sins
implied command to use this power
also when there was need.
Hence, the power over sins which
Christ gave the Apostles was to be
used with intelligent discretion, for
they were obliged to retain sins as
we'll as to forgive them, they could not
therefore make blind use of the
power received. Christ evidently
did not intend in giving them this
power to have them go forth and de-
clare the sins of one man forgiven
and the sins of another man retain
ed. Such a supposition would pre-
vent any useful end being accom-
plished by the exercise of this
Apostolic prerogative. Unless they
were to make distinction between
great sins ard small and require
some evidence Of sincerity and
sorrow on the part of the transgressoI
coming to them fe r forgivness. There
could be no reasonable motive as
signed for giving them the power Of
retaining sins. And in order to make
this distinction they would have
to know the Gins on which they were
to pass judgement.

Logan Library.

On the 18th of November, 1897,
the Public Library for the town of
Logan was opened with Miss Mar
garet Saumening, Librarian, and it
continued from that date until
June 80, 1893, when 1t closed for the
summer vacation, being opened
again September Is, 1898.
The following is summary of
the report made by the Librarian
for the seven and half months up
to the closing time, June 30th.

This being the first opening of a
Public Library in Logan, there was
some anxiety on the part of Its
friends as to its success, but the
above summary shows the most
remarkable success and Is certainly
encouraging for the future. II
shows that the Logan public know
how to appreciate a good thing
and we earnestly hope that the
citizens OF Logan will see to 1t that
the number of volumes now in the
Library may be doubled within
the next year.
