HOUSE.

In the house on the 18th II. r. 265,
by Burgess of Lancaster, providing for
an appropriation of So, 900 to erect mus
cum and library building by the State
Historical society in Lincoln, was rec
commended for indefl.ite postponement,
as was also II. R. 237 by Gilbert of
Douglas, providing for a commission of
engine and boiler inspectors. The house
took up a special order, the report Of
the committee on public lands and build
ings that the Girls Industrial home at
Geneva be closed, on the plea that there
are not enough inmates to justify its
maintenance, and that he inmates be re-
moved to the Boys Industrial school at
Kearney. After discussion the report of
the committee was tabled. SweeZy
moved that two items in the bill approved
by the committee be stricken out. These
items were $3.50 for blue books furnished
by the State Journal company and S497.50
for bills furnished by Harry Porter.
SweeZy claimed that in the first place,
the contracts for these supplies ought
to be made by the house instead of the
secretary of state He disputed the fair
ness and justice of both bills, and de-
clared as to the files that, while they
cost the house $1.75 each, they were
worth not more than 50 cents The mo-
ton was carried. New bills were intro
duced as follows: To license and provide
against the extortion of pawnbrol:ers and
to fix the maximum rate of interest
charged by them at 10 per cent per an
mum, and to provide that pledged articles
must be advertised in a newspaper of
general circulation for four consecutive
weeks before they can be sold. Penalties
from $50 to $500. To declare void sales.

there are preachers who reconcile men
to the injustice OF this life by agitat-
ing their minds with hopes and fears
OF the life to come? This is the ef-
feet even II 1t Is not the purpose of a
large amount OF religious endeavor.

men decay In the slums OF every city,

Ing. but thorough knowledge OF po-
liticai economy. and teach men TO ap-

fees, religious organizations, repre-
senting a vast expenditure Of wealth
and energy. All the reformers in the
city could not contribute for their
work what is paid in a year TO one
of these clergymen. Fancy how
things would begin to move If this
tremendous energy were directed to-
ward the solution of the problem OF
poverty! If all this thought and SEN
timent and power of wealth were only
hitched to this car of progress, how
the wheels would start out of the
mud
Jonathan Edwards used to say to
his audience: "The God that holds
you over the pit of hell, much as one
holds a spider, or some loathesome
insect, over the fire, abhors you and
is dreadfully provoked; his wrath to-
wards you burns like fire. 1t would
be a wonder if some who are now
present should not be in hell in a
very short time. There is reason to
think that there are many in this con-
gregation, now hearing this discourse,
that will actually be the subjects OF
this very misery to all eternity"
AS long as men believed in that
sort of a God, they naturally expected
the church to help them fee from the
wrath to come. But from the various
sources of modern thought has come
better thought of God. He lis still
the Creator. but he is not the bungler.
He made good world. This world
Is "lapt in universal law" In his
henevolence, the Creator contrived
these laws so that In the keeping OF
them, men should find great reward
Hell on earth Is due TO the breaking
Of these laws. To learn TO obey them
Ia to find heaven here.
TO teach men these laws Is the mis-
sion OF tho church. There Ia no Law
of the Decalogue which Is more self
evident than the law that the land Il

oily by tho few crime against the
