teaching false doctrine concerning the resurrection. If we remember correct ly, Christ replied that false teachers would always be found. Is the teach ing of the Bible under the iberalfz9d rules, fulfillment of what he said?
 AS believer in the existence of God, the Bible and it's Christian teach ings, in all kindness we wish to ask the ministry few questions.
 If there is God, if he made man, the heavens and the earth, the sun, moon and stars, the fowls of the air, the beasts of the field and tue fishes of the sea, yes if he made everything, as all teachers of the scripture claim, was it impossible for Him to make a real, genuine, Bible heaven where the spirits of the just may enjoy the fruits of a we'll spent Christian life on this earth ? Does it seem unreasonable that he should do so?
 If God is all powerful, as you confess in every prayer you offer, what is or was impossible for him to do?
 Why say there is no heaVen-no real hesven-no place where God relgns and where the angels sre-that there is no place where the "Son was with the Father" from the beginning? Was it impossible for such place to be pre- pared by God?
 1t is true there are many things taught in the Bible whose foundations rest upon other than natural laws. The biblical account of the conception of Christ is an illustration, but if God made the laws of nature, is he powor- less to set them aside? What minister will say he could not annul any fixed law that he made?
 If the course of the ministry of the day is continued, the thought and hope of christianizing the world must be abandoned. There is but little left of the good old christian teaching, that which brought comfort to our fathers and mothers during life and joy and hope in happy future at death. What! say to true and faithful wOrshipper of God that there is no heaven to gain? Why what is there left to strive for? What reward has the christian in store for him? What did Christ come onto earth for? You say to save sinners save them from what, from where? They need no saving if there is no place to save them from. They need no flu ture happiness if there is no place for them to go to.
 We hope our Bro. Wirt will consider our views in the light in which we in- tend them to be received. The criti cisms we offer arc not particularly di- rected to his serman, they are more es- pecially directed towards the tendency of the ministry of the age to become, as we think, too liberal in construing the Bible. That Bro. Wirt is a chris tian gentleman, conscientious in his work and accomplishing good, we doubt not, but that much more good would be the resul if old fashioned preaching were done, we are equally certain. If the tendency of the future is to contin- ue as in the recent past, seekers after the truth will one and all be led to en- quire in the language of Solomon, "Oh, where can truth be found, and where is the place of understandings" It is not necessary to befog the minds of the people. The plain teachings of Christ are simple and easily understood by ' all.

together into the Order OF the Princes
of Peace are consecrating themselves TO
the task of bringing together warning
elements and sewing together the ragged
edges Of Populism and Republicanism
with the noble aim of overcoming the
wicked Democrat.
But there are now some indications
that the zeal of these thermometers may
soon vainly burn itself out and that Vii
the early summer they may have to
throw up their jobs and recuperate by
the mountains or by the sea. Certainly
there is not much announcement to the
Ren- Pop fusionist in the following inter.
view given me Saturday by a leading
member of the Populist State committee;
Il Rave just read the letter of Chair
man Jones, of the National Democratic
Executive committee, to Judge Avery, in
regard to a cooperation of the silver
forces" he said. land it occurs to me,
that those men of the Democratic party
who oppose such cooperation, are not
in accord with the platform, State and
national, of their own party. They are
opposed to those principles advocated
by such men as Hon. VIM. Jennings
Bryan, and that these same men will
very soon find their place. Well, what
about the Populist who still advocates
fusion with the Republicans? My an
swer is exactly the same, he too will
very soon find their place. But, what
done so already.
Il am in favor of every man standing
up and being counted. If we are oppos-
cd to the present financial system, / ask,
how can we hope or expect to accomplish
anything with the silver forces fighting
each other? This is exactly what the
enemy wants us to do.
LET us lay aside our prejudices, and
roll ND our sleeves and while | think
that my PARTY IS enlisted in company A
let us not fall out with companies h and
C. simply because they enlisted a little
later, when we are assured they are
fighting for the same cause. Let us
see TO it. that there are no explosions
from within the Maine.
But as already stated, the Populists
are now in bloom and there is no telling
what they may do--whether they will
decide to be crab or a pippin or -
good honest apple. With the May con-
venton the character of the growing
fruit may be determined.
In October the decks will be cleared
for action, the people will line up on
one side or the other--for good. honest
government and white supremacy. or
against it--and in November the battle
of votes will he fought.
