REV. FREDERICK TONCE
An Able Sermon on the Subject
what Is ReligionP
FATHERLESS AND WIDOWS
Pure and Indebted Before God and the
Father-Some OF the Pitfalls in
the Way of the
Cody.

Rev. Frederick Tonge of the South
Butte Presbyterian church yesterday
preached on What Is Religion" His
next was taken from the eth verse OF
the first chapter of st. James: pure
religion and undefled before God and
the Father is this. to visit the father
less and widows in their affections and
TO keep himself unspotted from the
world"
THE opening verse" said the speak
er, informs us that it was written
to the u tribes which are scattered
abroad True that 10 of these tribes
Gave been lost from human view for
centuries. but they still existed in the
purpose of God and to the eye of the
Holy Ghost and we find them here
addressed as if they had remained in
the land which was given to their
fathers for an everlasting possession.
Among these u tribes We're some who
were Christians, and of course who
never advanced beyond the Jewish
faith. and if this fact be remembered
every apparent difficulty can be read
lily met.
The former part Of the definition of
our text is often carried into effect,
for it suits the unregenerate man who
can get credit for visiting the father
less and the widows; but the latter
part is nearly always left out because
it is impossible for the flesh to be I'M
spotted from the world. 1t is not so
much in exhibitions of doctrines to be
believed as of the actions of the pety
which are to be reformed and per-
formed. Two great errors exist, one
which would represent religion as ex-
listing in knowledge and belief only,
and the other which sets forth a sys-
TEN Of action without reference to the
principles and the influence of faith
Evangelical religion unites both rec
ognizing faith in Christ as the true
basis Of personal piety and good works
as the superstructure to be reared
upon it.
Let us consider from the text the
religion specified: Religion may be
denominated the homage and the ODE
dience of man to his maker. True and

MAGICIAN KILLED.
Real Bullets Fired in Place of the Dunn
mics.

mics.
New York. Oct 29.-Michael Hatal, q
magician. died in Bellevue to-day from
wounds inflicted by Frank Benya in an
East side hall last night while they were
performing a feat of magic in which Ha-
tai was to seemingly have caught in his
teeth bullets fired at him from gun by
Benya.
Hatal himself loaded the gum an old
fashioned musket, fired by percussion
cap On top of the charge of powder
supposedly was placed dummy bull
let that would crumbe into powder when
the musket was fired. Instead he must
have substituted two lead bullets of So
caliber.
The Bellevue physicians report that one
bullet went through the left lung and
the second just above and to the left side
of the heart. Both passed entirely
through the body. Hatal must therefore
have used at least four times the usual
amount of powder.
Before. giving the exhibition Hatal ask
ed for some one in the audience who had
been a soldier to fire the musket. Benya
responded. eAs soon as Hatal had taken
his place he called to Benya in loud
voice. Aim right at my heart; don't be
afraid
Benya fired and Hatal threw his hands
in the air and fell grooming to the floor.
Before dying he made a statement ex-
onerating Benya.

acceptable religion must be pure in
its source, and this source is Gods
word. Here is the revelation of all
doctrinal, personal and relative Diety.
Acceptable religion is pure in its prln-
ciples Contrast Christianity with the
dark systems of paganism, with the
sensual allowances of Mohammedism.
Its principles are all lofty and ennob-
ling. 1t has the broad stamp of holi-
ness upon it. 1t is the transcript of
the divine mind. Like God, 1t is light
and truth and goodness. 1t allows
nothing that is merely superficial, but
demands truth in the inward parts.
When pure religion exists the good
ness and mercfulness Of spirit will
be exhibited in visiting the afflicted,
the fatherless and the needy With
out the kind aid of the strong the
afflicted would perish. For such this
world is always too little, and know
it, I speak from experience.
AT our synod last month a lady
asked permission and was granted the
courtesy of the floor. AS she faced
the ministers she had a beautiful lit
tie girl of 8 years, with flaXen curls:
a boy older. and another girl older
still. She said: I want home for
these children. Is it not shameful to
find men and women with beautiful
homes lavishing their affections on
Q0S or a cat i. lHlS speech WAS
prompted by the discussion she had
heard in regard to the manner of some
people who do lavish affection upon
dumb animals to the detriment of their
Christian obligations.
AN enthusiastic lecturer in England,
while preaching at a fashionable wa
tering place, had to prohibit ladies
from bringing in their pug dogs to the
afternoon lectures. He spoke of the
sin of such affections and urged them
to care for the orphans and waits in
the world. A lady and gentlemen,
after the lecture, said to him one
night: Do you remember the Incl
dent? We went home and we drown
ed the cat and gave the dog away.
One night after we were walking on
the street and found bundle of rags.
We took the small child home with us,
washed and dressed it. 1t was the
light of our home for a long time, but
the child died. But. oh the those few
years Of love, how bright.
The preacher went on to illustrate
the pitfalls that are ever in front of
those whose aim in life is only selfish
greed. and concluded with beauti-
full peroration
