THE COMING CHURCH.
BY Rev. E. Marshall.

1t will be fraterna. 1t will fulfill the Golden
Rule, "Thon shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self"
1t will worship and glorify God by loving
and doing good to all His creatures.
1t will teach, by practice, the fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood OF man.
Its law will be the law of God-perfect love.
Its conquest will be the whole human race for
Christ. GAS soon as they hear of me, they
shall obey me. The strangers shall submit
themselves unto me. Psalm 1914.
"And the seventh angel sounded; and there
were great voices in Heaven, saying: The
Kingdoms of this world are become the king
doms OF our Lord and of his Christ; and He
shall reign forever and ever.--Rev. II:I5.
The present style Of pulpit preaching, by
dividing sects, can never accomplish such
glorious oneness.
All conventional creeds must be put away,
and the word of God alone must be the univer
sal creed
Church merging and conederacy Of churches
is blasphemy. The Christian churches must
be independent emocracies--~associated Non
essential differences of individual opinion can
be no bar to membership. Belief IN God and
the practice of the eternal precepts of righteous
ness is ali that can be required.
The coming church will teach all people to
seek to prepare themselves for Heaven by ear
nest striving to bring themselves into a com.
plete state of reconciliation to God, and to make
the whole earth an image of Heaven. They
will teach that "The whole earth with the
fullness thereof, is Gods, and that any person
who holds more of it than he needs for actual
subsistence is, in the sight of God, a4thief and
a robber.'
The coming church will afford the opportun-
ity for every family on earth to possess au in
dependent home.

The Populists in Texas who have been driven
from sheer desperation to cast their lot in with
The "class- conscious Socialists will find that
they have endorsed more than they anticipated.
They will find that negro equality-social
equality with the brother in black-is a card-
nal tenet of Socialists. Eugene V. Debs, the
brainiest and most brilliant man in their organ
ization, and who is acknowledged to be the
best interpreter Of their platform, say in a re-
cent article in the International Socialist Re-
view: "As socialist we receive the negro upon
absolutely eqial tsims. We are the party cf
the working class, and we will not suffer our
selves to be divided by any specious appeal to
race prejudice. Let the capitalist press and
capitalist public opinion indulge themselves
IN alternate fattery and abuse of the negro; we
as Socialists will receive him in our party,
treat with him in our counses and stand by
him all around, the same as If his skin were
white instead of black; and this we do, mott
from any considerations of sentiment, but te-
cause it accords with the philosophy of Social
ism, the genius Of the class struggle, and Isl
eternay sight and is bound to triumph in the
END. Socialists should with pride proclaim
their sympathy with and fealty to the black
race, and if any there be who hesitate to avow
themselves in the face of ignorant and unreason-
ing prejudice, they lack the true spirit of the
slavery destroying revolutionary movement. z"
Put this into your pipe and smoke it! 1t is
from the great prophet of the Socialist wigwam
and cannot be disputed.
If you believe in leveling The white man with
the negro; if you can swallow social equality
with the negro, then we say join theN SociaIistsx
and crafty your desires to the utmost; but as
for us, we cannot, we will not. Our self.
respect, our manhood revolts at the idea

had love of their fellow men. 1t was left to
the lowly Nazarcne-son of carpenter-born
in manger--to bring healing to the nations.
Love and truth are the corner-stones of the
new building Jesus was neither warlike in
spirit or mmercially inclined. He might
have been King and commanded armies, or
great contractor, and built tottering houses and
kings palaces His citadel rested upon the
shoulders OF grand men and pure women.
Love cemented the stones, and the chief archi-
tect is the Most High, whose throne is i'll
Heaven.
Enduring civilizations must be after the plan
of the great Builder. No permanent progress
along other lines. If civilizations could have
become permanent upon commerce, learning
without heart, or military prowess, Rome and
Greece would have been as enduring as time.
Destroy the masses, and all is lost The
palace crumbles to ruin with the howell The
licenious in high places go down with the
vicious in low places. The common fate of all
is annihilation.
WE IRE NOT CAST DOWN.
The battles that have been fought on behalf
of humanity have not been fought in vain.
We still feir the voice of the lowly Nazarene,
though it was hushed on the cross two thous-
and years ago. Martin Lnthers bugle-blast of
the sixteenth century is still calling to arms.
The mighty sword of Gustavus Adolphus is
still shifting the foes OF progress, in that men
are taught to do and die, if need be, to make
happier the lot Of the human race.
"Orthodoxy" may have dropped Jesus, but
the Salvation Army has taken Him up.
Politicians .legslate for milionaires, but the
still, small voice of public sentiment will, ere
long, be heard in thunder tones in all the
nations where there is enlightenment and
humanity. 'GoG and Humanity" be our
wa,chword. Up with the people and down
with the oppressor and despoiler.

| "They shall sit every man under his vine
and under his fig tree, and none shall make
them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of Hosts
ha'h spokenit."
There are, in the United States, 100, 900
churches that, on an average, pay their pastors
$500 each, thus making sum total of $50, ,ooo,-
900 paid exclusively for preaching what they
call the Gospel; all this vast sum, without TAX
ing into account the cost of parsonages and
other expenses incident to the pastor support.
Now that the preaching of the present day
has nearly lost its converting power needs no
other proof than the diminishing congregations
throughout the entire Christian world, and the
various doubtful schemes resorted to by mi lis
ters and churches to hold their congregations.
| And that some other mode OF reaching the
people, which shall be more efficient in their
religious instruction and conversion to the be-
lief, acceptance and practice of divine precepts,
is made apparent by the two.fold fact that but
a small proportion Of religious converts ascribe
their conversion 10 pulpit preaching, but TO
{ ther means. To home influences, to reading,
to personal contact, to the Sunday school and
other suchlike nstrumentaliies most of the
co operate in the accomplishment of the sublime
harmony of the universe.
The coming churches will teach and practice
heavenly cooperation.
Human society will constitute one complete
nervous system, and what affects one part will
be Immediately felt and responded to by the
Whole body.
From the teachings of the coming churches,
grand co-opera ion will result. For religious
instruction, the leahet and tract system will be
used, together with Bible reading, and the
Sunday school, and personal visitation. 1t
will be as far superior to pulpit preaching as
the electric light is superior t. the light of the
old lard lamp.
The money now paid for preaching will be
used to help people to pay for homes and other
various needs. Ten million dollars will give
personal visitation, with leaflets and tracts,
every week, and Bible READINGS at their places
OF meeting on Sundays. The leaflets and
tracts can be read at the homes where their
contents can be carefully studied and compared
with Bible teachings. Then, the other $4o,-
600, 900 can BE- taken to law, without interest,
to help people to get homes. The $4,000 900
will give $500 to help $4,000 families each
year to pay for homes Liens being secured
on the homes, the fund would, in course of
years, swell to enormous magnitude, and could
be used to the benefit of all nations. The
whole earth would socn be brought to Christ.
All people would believe and accept religion
yielding such good.

The country.mndo citx Man.

From the Illustrated Sporting News.
Former President Grover Cleveland
has taken for the text OF his latest es-
say about things outside the realm OF
politics "The changes that are going
on in our rural populations. and the
steady stream Of the sturdy Young men
and women toward the cities, with
the dangers apparent in such a wide
spread tendency" But against his ar
raignment of the town made country
man" there is something TO be said for
the country-made city man and his
wholesome exodus TO the green fields
and the old pastures.
There are 1,122 organized clubs for
golflng i'm the United States and the
club houses and courses represent an
Investment OF $4,000. 600. In 1898 there
were not thirty automobiles in Amer
lea. but within the first six months OF
the following year the companies form

AN ANCIENT MANUSCRIPT.

How the imagination Is stirred when
we read that in Egypt an explorer has
unearthed a scroll on which perhaps
eighteen hundred years ago some
devout man wrote down the words OF
Jesus!
One hundred miles south Of Cairo
two explorers have been digging, their
spades turning out the trinkets of an
other epoch and another civilization;
suddenly a manuscript is thrown out.
its edges crumbled away. and then with
the greatest care it is unrolled and
deciphered. Imagine their surprise and
joy when they ind that it is a chronicle
OF the words that Jesus spoke, and
that it was written by one who prob
ably lived not later than a century af-
ter the tragedy Of Golgotha.
Doubtless there are many such treas
ures buried beneath the debris OF al
most forgotten cities, preserved
through the centuries by the dry
earth I'm which they are embedded.
These discoveries are of inestimable
value, and many Of them are doubtless
as authentic and as worthy OF belief
as the accounts embraced in our Bible.
II Is remarkable that the discoveries
thus far detract nothing from the ac-
counts which have been gathered and
which form our Bible. There are no
conflicting statements. but these testi-
monies which have been so long buried
supplement and explain certain pas
sages that are obscure.
And It Is impossible to over estimat,
their value, and there is little doub
OF their reliability. Il took a pious
earnest man TO laboriously copy book
and because OF the scarcity OF litera
ture persons learned 10 memoriz
chronicles word for word, and thusl IN
same stories were passed down fror
generation TO generation. It is re
markabie that after all the centurle
since Christ that our explorers shoul
be getting back to the chronicles q
those who were virtually his contem
poraries.

GARBAGE Disposal Statistics.

From the Engineering News.
The most recent illustration Of the
unsatisfactory condition. OF garbage
disposal in this country is afforded BY
a paper presented at the meeting of
the American Public Health Associa-
tion at Washington on October 2S. The
authors deserve commendation for
their persistent attempts ito collect a
certain amount OF hrst-hand informa-
tlon as 10 the condition OF garbage dis
posal practice in the United states in
the year 1902" The statistics show
that most cities are still employing
primitive means OF garbage disposal
or even neglecting the service alto
gether, and emphasize anew the lack
OF accurate comparable figures from
cities where any method whatever has
been adopted.

ToMMY.RoT.

We had hoped that the day for Tom
my-rot like the following had passed;
"Tha negro has no place in history.
His home is in Darkest Africa He
belongs to the most degraded race Of
men-the lowest form OF human life"
Thus speaks the Jefersonian, and thus
II writes itself down as ignorant, mar
row and bigoted. We need not discuss
the negros place in history; it is suf-
hcient for US to consider the negro Of
the present. We shall make no invid-
ious comparisons, but il the Editor Of
the Jencrsonian would lay aside his
prejudice he would admit that the ne
gro has done his part in developing this
country and he promises greater things
for the future.
II will not do to become impatient. A
race freed from bondage does not real
ize its possibilities in forty years. 1t
must not be forgotten that the first
crime was ours. The forests of Africa
were secured by men who were inf
nitely worse than negroes, who were
searching for human ohattels. They
were brought over in the holds Of slave
ships. herded like cattle. and sold TO
planters who in many Instances regard
ed them just as they did their oxen.
They were denied the right Of educa-
ton; no personal rights We're sacred. Go
an over the South and observe the
shades Of color and guess what OUT
RACES the women had to suffer.
This is not said TO appeal TO the pref
udices Of either race, but to give MS
proper view point. And when the
war came and the masters were at the
front fighting TO rivet the chains Of
their vassals more securely, what did
the slaves dog The wives and daugh-
ters OF the white men were helpless
and unprotected. and the negroes knew
it. We know the answer. They toiled
in the fields all day tosupport the wo-
men and TO supply the army with sus-
tenance. There were no tales Of out
rage. The negrQfwas given a great re-
aponslhluiX- aIh he did not- -betray hii
trust
There are negro desperadoes, degen-
crates and worthless characters. But
thore is no occasion for condemning O
whole race for that reason. Too many
negroes sell their votes, but no negro
furnishes the money; that is white
man who Of course ought to be in jail
Before the colorod man in this country
are great opportunities. He has not
shown the highest appreciation ol
them. but we must remember he was
emancipated but yesterday. And LET
the white man remember that he cam
not be unjust 10 the negro without be-
ing unjust to himself.

BASEBALL MERGER.
Talk About Scheme to Amalgamate
American and Eastern Associations.


American and Eastern Associations.
The Louisville correspondent Of the St.
Louis Sporting News has the following to
say about the proposed amalgamation Of
the Eastern League and American Asso-
citation circuits into one big league of
national prominence:
"Our own George Tebeau seems TO be
the most talked-Of man in the United
State to-day; and his scheme to merge
the American and Eastern into one
league, taking the best towns from each
and making a circuit that viii almost
equal in Importance either of the major
leagues, IS attracting as much attention
among the scribes of the country as
President Roosevelt's now famous re-
marks anent race suicide. Mr.. Tebeau
seems to know pretty near just what he
wants, and, incidentally, what a large
majority OF the fans want; and to know,
with George, is generally to do, and to
do at once.
This idea of forming what might be
called big minor league has been ex-
plotted from time to time in the past, but
never by any one who had the brains and
nerve to push it to n successful issue,
and so it was left to Louisville's popular
magnate to devise the ways and means
Of making it a reality, which, from all
reports, now seems to be the case. Mr.
Iebeau, like many another magnate,
while a thoroughgoing sport, is not in
baseball for his health; and, while the
returns on his investment have paid him
well, it has been mainly through the
loyal support of the local fans, and some
of the good money made here has had to
go to pay expenses incurred in some of
the other towns in the circuit that have
put hardly enough money to buy cigar
cites for the team.
"Tebeau knows he can make money
here if he puts up the proper kind of at
traction. He has provided that in his
own team during the past two seasons;
but one good team is not enough. II
mustihave a good team to do battle with
TO make the game thoroughly interest
ing. When a good team comes here the
park is crowded; when the poor ones
come you can't fiji the park with passes.

time to see bum game, let alone give
their money. By putting the Louisville

Perhaps Grover Cleveland's enemies

could be convinced that he would just

We Paid 100000
For LiquozOne-Yet We Give You SOC. Bottle Free.

This company, after testing Liquozone
for two years in the most difficult germ
diseases. paid $1,000 for the United
states rights. That is by far the highest
price ever paid for similar rights on any
scientific discovery.
We publish this fact to show you the
value Of Liquozone. The most worthless
product may have great claims made
about it; but men don't pay a price like
that save for a discovery of remarkable

CHRISTMAS EoR rHE PooR.

Already the children are looking for
ward to Christmas. and many who
have not shown great aptitude in
mathematics can tell the number or
days that must elapse before they peep
into their stockings to see what the
jolly old saint has brought.
All. however are not so fortunate.
There are children who without the
kindness and enterprise of our big
hearted men and women would know
nothing Of the joys Of the occasion. II
Christmas does not warm our hearts
and open our pocketbooks, especially
at the mute appeals Of the friendless
little ones. then we need to be born
again.
The police Of this city have estab-
llshed the custom OF entertaining the
poor children every year at the City
Hall. and already they are making pre-
parations FOR this years celebration. It
speaks volumes for the warm hearts
and generous impulses. In the dis
charge Of their duties they see much
Of the seamy side Of life. but familiar
ity with poverty and desutution has
not blunted their humane instincts.
They want to give the poor children
Of the city the finest day Of their lives
but they can't do this without som'
support from the public. We sympa-
thize with their purpose, and shoul,
our readers be disposed to contribute
any amount wo will gladly acknowledg
the same and turn It over to the treas
urer OF the police fund. For one L
really enjoy Christmas the only wa
open is to make somebody else happy
