Pledged to Christ.

But there Is another sutton that presents
his claim for tho hand of this republic.
He is mentioned i'm the verse following
my text where it says, AS the BRIDE
groom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall
thy God rejoice over thee. " 1t is not my
figure, 1t is the figure of the Bible Christ
Is so DESTROYS to have this world love him
that he stops at no humiliation of smile.
He compares his grace to spittle on the
eyes of the blind nan. He compares him
self to - hen gathering the chickens, and
in my text he compares himself to "a suitor
begging hand in marriage. Does this
ChTist, the King, deserve this land; Be
hold Pilates hall and the insulting expec-
tOration on the face of Christ. Behold tho
Calyarean massacre and the awful hem
orrhago of five wounds. Jacob served IA
years for Rachel, but Christ my Lord,
the King, suffered in torture 33 years to
win the love of this world. As often prin-
ccsses at their very birth are pledged in
treaty of marriage to princes or kings Of
earth, so this nation at its birth was
pledged to Christ for divine marriage.

Another sutton claiming tho hand of
this republic is nihilism.
He owns nothing but a knife for uni
vcrsal cHtthroatcry and "a nitroglycerin
bomb for universal explosion. He believes
in no God, no government, no heaven and
no he'll except what he can make on earth
He slew the car OF Russia, keeps many a
king practically imprisoned, killed Abra-
ham Lincoln, would put to death every
king and president ON earth, and, if he
had the power would climb up until he
could drive the God of heaven from his
throne and take it himself, tho universal
butcher. In France it is called cOmmu-
nism; in the United States it is called an
archsm, in Russia it is called nihilism,
but that last is the most graphic and de-
scriptiyo term. 1t means complete and
eternal smash up, 1t would make the
holding Of property crime, and it would
drive n dagger through your heart and
put torch to your dwelling and turn over
this whole land into the possession Of
theft and lust and rapine and murder.
Where does this monster liver In all tho
towns and cities of this land. II offers ITS
hand to this fair republic. 1t proposes to

tive hall, the congressional assembly II

Identified as Mike Mclaughlin, OF 3lS North
Ninth street. Philadelphia. The body lacked
the legs, which had been severed at the

Henry county declined to surrender them.
saying that the inquest should be held in
the county where the accident occurred.
The coroner holds that the inquest should
be conducted in the county where the body
was found. AT present it looks as if two in
quests would be held, although Marshal
Human has gone 10 Kewanee after the
legs, the Philadelphia relatives having wired
him to take charge of the remains. How
the accident occurred is a mystery. as Bull
lard knew nothing of it until, when oiiing
the engine, he found the mutilated trunk.
When the man was struck the train was 60
ing seventy miles an hour, and the pilot hit
him with such force as to cut the body IN
two.

animal a hard blow over the ear. from the

removed his business to Memphis, Tenn,

him. When the train was near Perryman's,
on the Pennsylvania road, Mrs. Bowen and
the children started from the dining car to
the sleeper. TIL train was then going fifty
miles an hour. The porter was taking care
of the boy, who dropped the mans hand
while on the swaying platform between the
cars and being picked UP by the wind was
blown into space.
1t was some minutes before Mrs. Bowen
knew OF the accident TO her child. When
she learned Of its fate she became almost
frantic. and had TO be restrained by other
passengers from jumping from the train.
The train was stopped and a telegram sent
back 10 Perryman's directing a search for
the child. who was found lying beside the
track terribly injured. The little one was
brought to Baltimore on a special train and
taken to the Johns Hopkins Hospital. where
