AT THE METHODIST CHURCH.
At Il o'clock pastor Ryder preached
from I Kings II :1-16.
The history OF Elijah begins some
what abruptly. Fidelity to God and
truth are the real credentials of true
prophet. If we DO the work OF God,
He will vindlcate US if We stand in
need of vindicatlon.
The history Of Elijah's dealing with
Ahab teaches us that the evil results of
mans sin is not, by any means, con-
confined to the sinner himself. Israel
suffered on the account of Ahab's
wickedness
Elijah's life teaches us that the mere
promise of divine protection, does not
in any way exempt us from the exercise
Of prudence Or from putting into use
all prudential regulations. God cares
for His people, but usually in the reg
ular way.
God will provide fer aud protect His
own. "In some way the Lord will
provide"
The means devised for Elijah's main
tenance were not such as to appeal to
mere human sense
AT night the text was, Deut. 80 80 !:
This text occurs in the midst of a
passage which describes the terrible
affliction into which the tribes OF
Isr:ei should fall and the signal chas-
tisement which was to come on them
in consequence thereof. My text
teaches the weakness OF 10000 men
any number Of men, without God.
The strongest human strength Is
utter weakness without God. Why,
the most ruggel mountains, the most
rapid river, the waves of the ocean
have formed no barrier to the scientific
and engineering ability of man. Men
have yoKed the fire to our carriages
we have sent lightning on an Grand
we have by means OF the Photograph
been enabled to transmit t;dings even
On wings OF light itself. Brethren,
while in one respect rejoice at this
state of things and pride myself tina,
| live IN the golden age OF America s
glory and power, yet bear in mind that
this great ingenuity and power is at
tended with some serious dis.dyan-
tages.
1t has no small tendency and incl
nation to administer to cur pride Of
heart and make us forget that there is
limit to our ability and make lis ig-
more the constant and all providing
agency and providence OF God.
Read Dan. :29-3l. One of tie
greatest secondary causes OF modern in
Fl !eIi:y is the abuse CT the philosophi
Gil inquiry. It takes our minds from
the spiritual and places them on the
material in ordinary matters.
We are too prone to imagine that
our intellectual powers are potent in
dong the work Ct the church OF GOD
as in advancing science. Too many
Imagine that worldly Influence and pc
llt,cal power must produce in the
church results as striking rs those they
effect in the lower sphere to which
they rightly belong.
What gives the churches power to-
day?

This is not the first time Gov.
Brown has been an obstacle in the
the way of party success. In 1896
he opposed fusion and advised Maj.
Johnston not to deal with the Popu-
lists. Bryan wanted fusion in Ken
lucky and after Maj. Johnston had
refused, other members of the CON-
mittee opened negotiations with
Parker and soon came to terms on
a district basis. Maj. Johnston and
Gov. Brown, his adviser, were given
to understand that the Second and
Third districts would make their
own fusions on the electors and
they reluctantly yielded, Maj.
Johnston insisting that he washed
his hands of the whole affair" Sub
sequently he officially endorsed
what had been done.

Uncle Larkin as a Spy.

Many old Confederates are
grieved to learn of the death of
Larkin Harmed, of Hopkinsville.
He was more than fifty years old
when the civil war began, but he
entered the service with the zeal
of younger man. His ability for
obtaining information of all sorts
soon attracted the attention of those
in command. He was detailed as a
spy and he served actively until
the end of the war, and always
with success. -Owensboro Inquirer

Washington, July 25.-The two
big battleships hearsarge and Ken

completion that the contractors
have called for the eight-inch guns
as they are about ready to put on
the upper turrets and mount the
guns therein. The last report
showed the ships about 81 per cent
completed, but the call for the guns
is such a material advance that it
is thought their first speed trial
will occur some time in September.
