CHRISTIAN GHU RICH

Rev. $, W. Crutcher. of the Chris
 tian church. delivered the following sermon Sunday morning. His text was "Who is the Lord that l should obey his voice. Ex. Y. j. He said in part;
 Moses had message from God to Pharaoh. The text shows how that message was spurned and how Pharaoh absolutely refused tO hear
 Moses, saying, "I will not let Israel go" Tins wicked King has not been alone In rejecting Gods mes sage. Every desecrator of Gods holy day; every blnsphe ner; every drunkard; every man in his sins, is saying as he jects the warnings of God s message, "W ho is the Lord?8
 The man of God says. Who an' ] ;" as did Moses himself. aud Paul said,
 "Who is sufficient fer these things. Who is good enough, pure enoughs sufficiently consecrecated to bear Gods message to sinful men. How hard is it to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves" Pharaoh soon found out who the Lord was in his judgment. as he was overthrown in the sea.
 God destroyed Amalek. and but for their repentance would have de- strOyed Nimerah as he did Sodom and Gomorrah and the the antedi- luvian world. The essence of the in- fidelity of our day is to reject the idea that God will punish sin. The 'orthordox hell was a place where God wonld burn forever infants, if their sins had not been christened away, and l don't wonder that such a hell as thar should find men who don't believe in it. "Who is the Lord?' The father of Christ.
 He has uttered words to be obey ed as did his father through Moses It is the Lord Jesus who demands faith and rep entance; all reasonable demands. Moses had the credentials to convince Pharaoh; Jesus to con- vince the Jews.
 ''He-also demands baptism, chris tian baptism is in the commission. Some fanatics are telling the world, it matters not about water bapt ism so you are baptised with the Holy Ghost. No. man has been baptised by the Holy Ghost since the days of Christ and the Apostles, and if they were, they would speak with tongues as did the twelve on Pentecost, and the Gentiles q the house of Corne- Illus. Did Phillip take the Eunoch down with the Holy Ghost aud bap- tize him, and did they come up out of the Holy Ghost? The Holy Ghost is present in every conversion, and dwells in every Christian, but the baptism of the Holy Ghost is anoth- er thing. When Jesus commands baptism or anything else, let us keep his commandment, and not say, | who is the Lord that I should obey his voice."

his voice.

Rev. c. W. Daniels, of the Baptist church rendered the following ser mon. His text is from John 1894. Hesaid in part:

ls HIS commandment. that we should believe n the name of his sol, Jesus Christ, and should love one another as he gave us commandment. ;" John 3:23. The occasson is ripe for such command. Envy and jealousy had manifested themselves in the disci- ples. Jesus was about to leave the world and entrust to their keeping the great interests of his kingdom. With such responsibilities upon them how necessary that they should be united How important now, that Cons people, entrusted with the same responsibilities. should heed the same command to "love oEe another"
 Jesus calls this q new command ment. Leviticus l9: IS shows that the Mosaic law contained the pre- cept: Thou shalt love thy nelgh- Dor as myself. Jesus himself in summing up the teaching of the law says it was contained in two com mandh. ents. the first, supreme love to God aau the second, "love thy neighbor as thy self" In what re- speets then does the novelty of this command appear?
 l. 1t is new in that it is the gov erning principle of the gospel econo- my. The Mosaic institution. while containing the preeept "Iove thy neighbor as thyselfs had law for it's basal principle. while love is the law of the gospel. The church is Gods appointed instrument for the preserva tion and propagation of the truth. A mutual love for one another, based upon a common love for Christ is the organizing principle in the church of Jesus.
 ,. This is also 8 new command, because Of the motive which prompts it. As l have loved you" says Jesus is to be the spirit and the measure of your love one for anoth- CT. Jesus love for his people is the model and the mo tive of their affec- tioa for each other.
 The love of Jesus for his disciples was not conditioned by their merit of it. He loved them for the possi- hilities that were in them, despite the many deficiencies that were then manifest. His love for his disciples was constant and tender. Like d faithful shepherd his eye was ever upon them and his hand ever out stretched to help in time of danger.
 His love for his disciples gives the greatest exa nple of devotion. "Greater love hath no an than this, that he lay down hiss life for his friend" Here is the. kind of love that Christians should have for one another. No room for selfishness, pride. ambition in love like this. The fruit of such a love is, Gin honor pre- ferring one aLother," praying for one another," and bearing one an others burdens" thus fulfilling tn e law of Christ which is the law of love.
 3. Finally this is new command ment, because it has 8 new purpose and power. 1t Is an assurance of our salvation. We know that we have passed from death unto life be- cause we love the hrethren,' It Las a convincing power upon the world. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples if you love one an- other" 1t was not their ability 10 speak with tongues or to perform miracles, but their love for each oth- CT that was to influence the world. The helpfuIness of mutual love is mighty magnet upon a loVeless world.

4 SHORT FRONTIER STORY
Important Part Minnesota Played In the
Purchase of Alaska.
BY Judge Charles E. Flandrau.

The people Of st. Paul have often been
proud of remark which was made by
Hon. VIM. H. Seward In a speech de-
livered by him in 1860, at the old capitol
OH Wabasha street, where he said he
believed that the centsr Of power on the
North American continent would be very
near the spot where he then stood. Ev-
erybody, willie they liked the prediction,
looked upon 1t as q pleasant way the
speaker had of giving his hosts and St.
Paul little "taffy," and nothing more
Such, however, was not tho case. and
Mr.. Seward, when he uttered the proph-
ecy, was thoroughly impressed with the
truth Of what he said, as I will prove
further on.
This speech was delivered on the 18th
Of September, 1850. II ] remember cor
rectly Mr.. Seward was on an election
eering tour In support of Lincoln's can
didacy for the presidency, and that Gen.
James w. Ney, Of New York, afterwards
governor of Nevada, was Of the party,
but I am not very sure of these facts,
and they are not at all material to the
point l am about to make. Mr.. Seward
stayed at the Merchants hotel. at the
foot of Jackson street, kept by our we'll
known host, Col. Allen, while ne remain
ed in st. Paul.
Many of the older settlers will remem-
Der James W. Taylor, Of ST. Paul, who
for many years represented the United
States as consul at Winnipeg. Mr. Tay-
lor was the most popular man in that
city He was not only esteemed for his
superior ability as an official, but was
beloved by all classes of people for his
gentle and genial manners. He was a
great friend Of Bishop Anderson. of Ru-
pert's land, who for twenty years had
performed the duties Of missionary bish-
op Of that far away country. He had
Travelled the Mckenzie river to It's mouth
in the Arctic ocean. He had been all over
Alaska, up and down the Yukon, and in
fact, knew more about the vast country
that lies north and northwest of the
United States than any living man at
the date we are speaking Of. It SO hap
pened that the bishop and Consul Taylor
were on a visit to st. Paul at the time
Of the arrival Of Mr.. Seward, and were
also guests at the Merchants hotel They,

When and where had this correction
been made? Doubtless an hour before at
the Merchants hotel, through the In
Huenoe Of the interview with Bishop And
erson. While at the capitol they visited
the rooms Of the Historical Society,
where the bishop made a short address
to Mr.. Seward, to which Mr.. Seward re-
sponded. Now all this might have hap
pened,, and been Of no particular interest
to the world. except as pleasant episode
between two distinguished msn. But In
this instance 1t turned out to be Of vital
Importance to three Of the greatest ma.
tons Of the world. Mr.. Seward was SO
deeply impressed with the st. Paul In
cident that Immediately after his return
to Washington he opened negotiations
with the Russian government for the
purchase Of Alaska, and persistently car
ried them on until he succeeded In &C.
quiring that vast empire for a mere bag
atelle Of seven or eight millions Of dol
lars. This remarkable provision of Mr..
Seward has stamped its effect on our
pre- sent and future destiny and relations
with England, Canada, Russia and per-
haps all the nations OF the Orient. Had
not Mr.. Seward visited st. Paul on that
exact day, would this great change have
beet made In the map Of North American
It certainly would not after the discovery
of gold in Alaska. So I claim that Mime
sofa played an all important role in the
purchase Of Alaska.
Having spoken of my dear old friend
James w. Taylor I cannot omit to men
ton most touching tribute paid to his
memory by the people of Winnipeg. The
municipality has placed upon the walls of
Its City Hall fine portrait Of the faithful
consul. under which hangs a basket for
the reception OF flowers. Every spring
zach farmer entering the city plueks a

The great love of a people could not be
expressed in a moro beautiful and pathe-
tic manner, and no man was more worthy
OF 1t than Consul Taylor.
