DEMOCRATIC CORRUPTION.


A few of the Democratic papers Of
the state have been bold enough to in
sist ON thorough investigation Of GER
tain mysterious things that happened
ct Frankfort recently. One is the in.
corporation Of an insurance clsuse in
the revenue bill, after it had been
eliminAted-or was supposed to have
been-and another the strange disap-
pearanoe Of the bill requiring the pres
entation Of registration certificate be-
fore anyone can vote. The last named
is bill that IL supposed to have been
passed for the benefit Of the Demo
Gratis, but ~ they do not need any
thing Of the kind under the existing
election methods in Kentucky, and
they are trying to cast suspicion on the
Republicans over the disappearance Of
the bill, the Democrats can probably
explain what became Of it.
The Lexington Herald, Democratic,
opportunely remarks:
IF the grand jury Of Franklin cir
cult court has reached any conclusion
as to how the bill concerning registra-
tion was lost, we have failed to see
the announcement; If any one has as
certained exactly how the insurance
agents license provision got put into
the revenue law after it was supposed
to have been stricken out, we have not
seen the explanation; If any estimate
has been published as to the aggregate
fees paid certain we'll known lobbyists
of either public position or political
influence, we have neglected to notice
it. 1t has been nearly a month since
the adjournment of the Legislature, and
these and other scandals are freely
spoken of over the state.
''It is due to the honest members Of
the legislature, and to the honest
practitioners who appeared before leg
islative committees that the dishonest
members and the blood-sucking lobby.
lists be exposed; but is this possible !?
Has any one who knows the facts the
courage to make them public? Does
the grand jury of Franklin circuit
court really desire to find out the
truth, and bring in indictments
against the guilty? Every officer and
employe of each and both houses were
observation-disclosures in high stand
ing; every successful lobbyist who is
reported to have made money by lob.
bying was q Democrat in high stand
ing; he had to be Democrat to have
any influence with that legislature; it
is. therefore, due to the honor Of the
Democratic party that the dishonest
be discovered and disgraced, If not
punished.
And in conclusion 1t alludes to .
little Democratic political mystery"

Salvation.

"This day is salvation come TO this
house. Luke 10: 2.
Sometimes the preachers talk az though
salvation was something ike salt or sugar,
TO be sold by the quantity, thing. an
article or commodity to be obtained on
condition Of coming to the penitent form,
or joining the church, or asserting to a
creed. But salvation is like all the best
things; it is not thing at all. Neither is
1t a sentiment; you may feel very religious
and not be redeemed. You might sing
sacred songs and have solemn sighs for
all eternity and be as great sinner as
ever. Some OF the worst men that ever
lived would rather sing 81 want to be
an angel" OF ''Shall we gather at the
river" than any other songs. Neither is
salvation a disease. That sounds like
trulsln; but it needs to be said for there
are rany who seem to think that, if only
they can get where people are very much
affected by religious emotions they will
catch them too; they hope to take sal
vatlon as their children take the measles
When the revivalist says, Come up and
get religion get salvation" one is tempt
ed to ask whether he has it to dispose OF
by the pound or the piece. So long as we
are content to talk in this slpshod man
ner, using cant terms without thought CT
their meaning the world will go on feeling
that the church is only irlposing on the
credulity of the people. Offering something
1t does not possess. And. in such cases.
the world is right The church can save
none; but it can and does point to saliva.
tion, lead to salvation, by showing the
Savior and bringing the sinner to Him.
When Christ went into the house of
Zaccheus salvation went with Him. For
salvation is like love, like life like thought
it can never be separated from personal
ity. You canrot give love to another
without giving yourself; and so men re.
ceive that love of God which means their
salvation only as they receive God. You
cannot buy life, you cannot make or find
1t; it must come from life. And saliva
God in our lives. All life from life and
all salvation from the Savior. Not in
things, nor in feelings, nor in conditions;
but in Him.
Christ comes into rly house, into my
business, my thoughts, my life; ] receive
Him as welcome guest, as my teacher, rly

May IS - Practical Conservation xii,

Conservation to God Is the highest
act of the soul. It is deliberate. de-
termined devotement of ones self to
the love and service of God. II is the
call of the Creator. The apostle Paul
puts the basis Of his appeal as deep
as the merciss of God. He says in
this call to conservation. II beseech
you by the mercies of God" AS deep
as Gods mercy Is truths foundation
Consider the mercy of Gods For.

he has been! With guilt on our hearts
we have gone to our evening slum'
ber. Our transgressions began again
with the dawn. Our rebellion was
new every morning. But every morn
ing his mercies are new. They are so
common that we forget the extraor-
dinary goodness that sends them.
This present life of opportunity, this
life OF youth whose very veins are
rhythmic with singing laughter-this
everyday life is Gods everyday gift.
The eyes bright fire--that Is Gods
glowing gift. That rose tint on youths
cheek is where the lips of mercy are
laid in the fondest and purest ca
resses. Health is Gods hand OF help
that he proffers anew every morning.
The ravens fed Elijah. But God di-
rected the ravens. 1t is at Gods
table that we are fed. Every meal
ought to be a fresh reminder Of his
mercy. God clothes the grasses. The
robes OF the field flowers are spun in
his loom. His royal bounty arrays the
lilies. The garments OF men are az
surely the gifts o, his mercy. Jesus

says. Shall he not much more clothe
you, o ye of little faith?"
Genuine Christian emotion must
not be decricd. There is joy in saliva
tion. The consecrated soul is awake
to all the claims OF Christ. There
can be 10 difference to the activities
of truth anywhere. Conservation has
a wide and eager interest in all the
conquests OF Christ's kingdom.
Christ's disciples are no detected
slaves. Their tread is triumphant,
To the saint the outcome of sorrow
is the blossom of Joy. He is the only
man on earth who can rejoice in trib'

grief is the drumbeat of glory. The
sheen of the stars falls on him at
night. The suns splendor brightens
all his days of duty.

of God meek and quiet spirit is of
great price. Quietness of spirit is
economy of character. The effect OF

Christians Even so should they al

A life full of good works is the only
way on thy part to answer the mercy
OF God extended to thee. God hath
had mercy on thee and hath saved
thee from all thy distresses. The
heart that is fullest of good works
has in it the least room for Satan's
temptations.

Pra ctical Religion.

Practical religion requires you to show
some reason why your life should be pro-
lopged day by day. You owe the world
are under moral obligation to some one
of your fellow creatures before you have
any right to ask for refreshing sleep. You
have lost a day unless you have given
your share of the impetus which drives
souls upward. Life which consists of
breathing and eating and an enviable en-.
vironment is the life of an animal; it
counts for nothing. The soul must be fed
as wei as the body, and it hourishes in
health only when you love your kind and
are ready to lift the load from the shoul-
ders of friend or stranger without the
hope of any other reward than the ap-
proval of God and the smile of the
angels. Ii you will you can make your
life grand in that way. Get for yourself
and family but as you get give. The Civ.
ing and not the getting is the main point.

Waysidc Ministry.

The wayside ministry is far more ef.
fectual than the ministry of the pulpit
Most preaching is done to those who
need it least and reaches the really needy
only as it is distilled through the first
hearers into lives which others see. If the
people would only realize that at best
the preacher can only place in their hands
his sublime message; they must carry it
pref it by the beauty and sincerity and
cheerfulness and kindliness of word and
act that he who runs may read. A
really Christian man going about his daily
life as a constant ministry, reaches every
week larger congregation than the most
popular preacher Leader.
