and for the school. 1t is almost impossi-
bic for me to name all the work which
has been performed. Faithful servants
have planted here and have sown, faithful
servants who have already been called by
the Lord. And up to this day you are
engaged in blessed work. There are some
that grew tired. it is true, and took their
hands from the pillow. At times you.-
too. felt like getting tired, but the Lord
has always assisted those who felt like
laying down the work. We don't work
for men, but we work in the service of
God
1T is one of the principles of the Evan
gelical Lutheran Church to uphold the
line of division which God has put be-
tween her and the world. between herself
ard unchaste world churches. 1t Is one
of the prerogatiyes of the Evangelical Lu-
theran Church to practice that discipline
in church which was taught by Christ.
And this congregation has experienced
from the beginning that the practice of
severe discipline is a main requisite to
the welfare Of Christian church. Where
there is no discipline, careless crowds will
congregate; where there is no discipline
there the bad boys Will gain the prepon-
derance. IL is true that We have some
in our congregation. Stiil this congrega-
ton on the whole stanos as a monument
of the holy seriousness against everything
that is bad and vicious. Pray God that
IL may always be thus.
THE most precious jewel of congre-
cation is its keeping its doctrine pure
and uusuiiied. In many things We are
way back of other churches but II has
always been the proud boast of the Evan
gelical Lutheran Church that 1t protests
against all false doctrines. TO keep the
treasure OF truth pure and immaculate"
Speaking of love the Rev. Mr.. Brand
said: I'VE are living in an epoch where
pure and true love has died in many; the
love OF the world Is permeating the con-
gregations like a bad fementator. the
love to God to the sacred word. and TO
the sacrament to the brothers, is disap-
pearing DO not think hard Of me for
asking you to subject yourselves to "a
strict examination, but the Holy Spirit
of God wills it,
"As long as a congregation hears no
other but Christ, that long she is a true
church of God. Therefore, you can look
forward with confidence. 1t is much.
very much, by the grace of God what
you have In this life. Let the light of
the true gospel shine for all who are in
the house. You are a city upon the
mountain; praise Jerusalem, the Lord;
praise Zion. your God.

POWER OF sELF7sAcRIFIcE.
The Worlds Greatest Achievement,
Have Been Due to 1t.


| The Rev. s. S, Palmer. d. D.. pastor
of the Broad Street Presbyterian Church.
| of Columbus Ohio. preached the second
sermon in the summer series of services
| at the New York Avenue Presbyterian
| Church at II o'clock yesterday morning.
| Dr. Palmer took for his text John i:29:
| Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh
| away the sin of the world" In develop
| ing the theme contained in this sentence
| he traced the history of hlman endeavor
| from the beginning of the Christian era
| TO the present time.
''Vicarious saefifice is the power which
has carried the world forward" said DR..
Palmer. LAS each nation suffered it
prospered. it went forward: it grew great.
and strong, and mighty. As nations
achieve their strength. and are no longer
called upon to endure hardships, they de-
cline and return to a condition of weak
ness. That is the weakness of decay. and
not the lack OF Drawn which is natural
in infanthood.
Suffering is the attractive power of
the world. The pulpit breaches it.
the actor presents 1t in his way,
the whole world knows it. and
has followed the truth. There has never
been a hero. nor will there ever be
hero. who has not suffered. From the
time that Christ suffered on the cross
and gave up his life for the world, human
ity has been carried forward. step by
step. by the noble and self-sacrificing men
who have surrendered their lives for the
sake of others.
THE history OF this country has been
a history of self-sacrifice from the land
ing of the Pilgrims through the defeat of
CORVALLIS at Yorktown to Appomattox.
Men suffered and died that we today
might enjoy the blessings of liberty. This
church and all the churches of the world
today. in which the truth of Jesus Christ
il being taught are possible only because
brave men have worked and have given
their lives for our sake. In the times of
darkness in the history of the United
States as well as the history of all the
nations there have risen good men, strong
men, but more important than all. men
who have been willing to sacrifice their
lives, to die, for what they considered
right. In trying times We want, of course.
good men, but we want men who are
more than good. We need strong. brave
men, ready to give their blood If need be.
There has never yet been great thing
accomplished for the good of the world
and of humanity without the shedding of
blood

PORTO RlCAN IMMIGRANTS

Honolulu, May 16.-(via San Francisco,

that they must be held at the quarantine
station and fed until they regain strength

a joint committee of the legislature
yesterday paid a visit 20 quarantine
island to inspect the immigrants. The
trip Of the Legislators resulted in dis
agreement as TO the condition of the
immigrants and their value as citizens Of
Hawaii The three senators who were on
the committee have made an unanimous
report TO the effect that the Porto Ricans
are all right, but it is understood that
John Emmeluth of the house committee
will present report severely denouncing
the planters for bringing the Porto
Ricans here, and on account OF alleged

siderable number Of the men were in

MAY CALL CONGRESS
President HAY Ask a Tariff Law for
Philippines.

Cedar Rapids L.. May 2S.-DuIing
their journey across Iowa today Presi-
dent Mckinley and the members OF his
cabinet spent much Of their time reading
and discussing the published reports OF
the opinions of the supreme court in the
insular cases. They were much interest
ed in the way the court divided in the
two cases. The decision in the De Lima
cases, If followed in the Philippine case,
as It is assumed 1t will be, might result
IN the calling Of an extra session OF con-
gress. In the De Lima case the court
decided that the duties collected on Por-
10 Rican goods before congress enacted
the Foraker law were illegal and must be
refunded. It is presumed that the court,
following the same lines of reasoning,
will decide that the duties collected on
goods from the Philippines were also IL
legal and that goods from the Philippines
are subject to free entry into the United
States until congress acts, as it has al
ready done in the case OF Porto Rico.
Such a decision would mean not only the
refunding Of duties heretofore collected,
but would open the ports of the United
States to merchandise and goods Of every
description from the Philippines until
congress meets III O6CeuDGIs IL u pd1p-
able that importers might take advantage
Of this to ship goods into the United
States through the Philippines and thus
defraud the government of its revenues.
Whether the danger from this source is
great enough to warrant the calling Of
congress in extra session is one which
will be decided only after full delibera-
ton. It is possible, however, that this
danger may already nave been obviated
in the enactment Of the Spooner resolu-
ton delegating temporarily to the presi-
dent the power to govern the Philippines.
This may be considered an act of con-
gres within the meaning of lie Downes
decision affirming the constitutionality of
the Foraker law. But it IS a delicate
question. and one which the president and
his advisers VIII consider in all its bear
ings before coming to a conclusion The
members Of the cabinet decline to discuss
the subject for publication. They united
in a message Of congratulation to For
mer Attorney General Griggs, who pre-
pared and presented the governments
case to the supreme court.

BEAVER EXPECTS BROWN
Settlement ia Beaver County Liable
TO Crowd Over Line.

Hardesty, 0. T. May 2S.-The Herald
has the following: Wen, fellows, we've
been telling you from hearsay Of settlers
about to come into Beaver county, but
last week we went down into Woodward
county and saw how the settlers have
taken, and are continuing TO take land
in that county, and our candid opinion
is that the overflow will hit Beaver
county this fall, and next spring will
bring settlers to the county in great num-
bers, and their coming viii be as ire
sistable as a tidal wave. Down in Wood
ward county hundreds of quarter sec
tons have been eliminated from the pub
lie domain, and the process continues
as fast as filings can be placed of record
in the land Office. From Camp Supply
west to the old VI crossing on the XII
owa almost every quarter has been filed
on and occupied by a settler. There can
be no dead line drawn in this instance
and the settlers viii not stop on arriving
at the eastern line Of Beaver county.
They viii cross over. IN Woodward

who are coming into the country to farm
