SERMON BY MR.. HEBRON.
Pastor of Seventh Christian Church
on True Meaning of Prayer.

The Rev David Ayrton Heron, pastor
of the Seventh Presbyterian Church, Cedar
and Elm streets, preached from the text
MY son. give me thine heart" at the
morning service yesterday.
He said that Christian people ordinarily
are in the habit of praying to God, and
that we are quite accustomed to the
thought of praying to Him. He said that
we freely offer our requests to Him, but
in the text taken is a prayer of God to
men. Mr.. Heron said:
HE speaks as a Father. The address is
tender. 1t appeals to the filial relation be-
tween man and his Maker. 1t seems
strange that the Father should prefer such
a request But there is need for it, An
estrangement has arisen between God and
ourselves. 1t Is quarrel in which the
on Gods side and it is. the wronged One
that asks the removal of the estrangement.
He wants the filial relation to be estab-
lished again. He asks us for our hearts,
but before asking for our hearts He shows
us His heart We love Him because He
first loved u.s. He has adopted for him.
self the figure of a mother-'as one whom
his mother comforteth so l will comfort
thee l will joy over thee with singing
1--WE think of the mother bending over
the cradle singing the child to sleep, and
God seems to adopt this figure for himself.
He has revealed to us His love in the cross
of His Son.
$50 1t is One who has given His heart to
us who asks us to give our hearts to Him.
Moreover He does not discriminate about
the state kind of heart He asks. God Is
no respector of persons. He takes the
heart we offer and makes IL a fit gift for
himself And there is wondrous wisdom
in Him asking for the heart, for when He
has that He is sure of us. 1t is the heart
as gift He asks. God respects the SOW
ereignty of the will. He does not compel
us to be His children. He simply asks us
to give Him our hearts. We can give Him
this, but when is the gift to be made ?
When is the prayer of God to be answered I?
IAN Emperor of Brazil once said: The
characteristic of Brazilian is ina

American says to-day, and there is the

row. God says to-day You are wise

The Rev. c. c. Edwards. pastor of the
Edwin Ray NJ. K. Church, preached on the
theme state and Municipal Perils' yester-
day morning. His text was Isaiah xxi, 2:

the rear of the church and those who were
opposed to the bill might sign their names

night. DIR. Villers said that on account of
leaving the city within a few days he would
hold a farewell reception in the front of
the church after the close of the bap-

were immersed last night. When the serv-
ice closed a number of the Pensioners

a pleasant journey. He will leave Tuesday

EIoquently and Exhaustfvely.
The Rev. A. NJ. Hall preached last night
to the members Of the Plymouth Congrega-
tional Church in the Hebrew Temple. Mr..
Hall formerly occupied Congregationalist
pulpit in Springfield. ILL.,. and filled the
pulpit vacated by the Rev. H. c. Meserve,
who resigned as minister of the church
several weeks ago. Mr.. Hail is a clear.
forcible speaker with pleasing voice and
expressive manner of delivery. His dis
cussion of his subject, Temptation" was
thorough.
Mr.. Hall said the greed and the ambition
of the ministers of the various churches
are stagnating Christianity and pressing
society down to a lower level. Follow
closely the history of the Christian church."
said Mr.. Hall. land you will find that the
church has not closely followed the precepts
of its Creator. The religious enthusiasts
of to-day claim peculiar powers and lead
their followers to believe that they are
the subject of special dispensations of God.
Empty display and love of show are the
temptations here that are unworthy the
teachers, yet are the falling places OF
many.

FOR CONVICT LABOR COMMISSION.


Representative Stechhan, of Indianapolis,
will introduce bill to-day or tomorrow
providing for commission to take up the
convict labor question. investigate it
thoroughly during the next two years and
report its findings to the General Assembly
of 1906. The bill comes from the House
committee on the affairs of the Indiana
State Prison.
Mr.. Stechhan's bill differs materially
from the one introduced last week by Rep
resentative Kimball. of Marion. in that 4.
does not limit the line Of investigation to
be followed by the commission. The KIM
ball bill provides that the commission shall
investigate the proposition TO employ the
convicts OF the State in the manufacture
of paving brick. mscadam and other road
materials and also abolishes the present
contract system at the expiration OF exist
ing contracts. The Stechhan bill does not
conflict with the bill which has already
passed the Senate and Is now ready for
third reading in the House. providing that
the present contract and state account sys-
tenn In force at the State Prison shall be
continued until 1910. and IL provides that

AFFECTS PARoCHIAL SCHOOLS.


pIOyment Oh Lhcenseu IeachcEss
Senator Dausman of Goshen, has been
asked to introduce a bill amending the
compulsory education law I'm such a man.
ner that parochial schools will be required
to employ licensed teachers and to show
that they are doing work similar in char
the State. The bill was sent to the sena-
tor with the following explanations:
1.-The purpose of this amendment probably
would not be obvious without an explana-
ton of the troubles that our school Off
GERS are meeting in this county. You
know that we have within the body of the
county considerable settlements of the de-
nomination called AmiSh, who are religious
fanatics in regard to education. They be-
lieve that education beyond merely to read
the Scriptures destroys a mans soul; that
all educated men are rascals, and they do
not propose to allow their children to be
educated. They are consequently resort
ing to device which effectually defeats
compulsory education. They rent or build
a rude schoolroOm, employ at their own
expense and at very low wages an ignor-
anus as a teacher, who, of course, will
not complain to the authorities If their
children play truant, and all that this fell
low pretends to teach is reading from the
tions these they do not teach, for the
reason that they are vulgar), writing and
spelling.
I'm support of this you will be furnished
townships where these pretended schools
exist.
81 am sure that the amendment pro-
posed will not be a hardship to any of the
genuine parochial schools and will effec-
tually wipe out these pretended schools

cure its passage.

UNEXPECTED OPPOSITION.


Unexpected opposition has sprung up to
the bill increasing the salaries of the Marion
county judges, and unless the measure is
materially modified in one respect it is
doubtful If it can be passed i'm the House.
The bill contains provision, il is claimed,
whereby the expense of maintaining the
Criminal Court of this county is saddled on
the State and it is this feature that is rails
ing storm of protest from some of the in
fluential members of the House.
1--WE were told the other day." said Rep
resentative Stansbury last night, that this
bill only provided that the salaries of the
judges should be increased $500 each, so
far as the States part of the additional
expense is concerned, and on that under
standing we advanced the bill over the pro-
test of several members. Now we find that
they are trying to steal a march on U.S.
and that there is a clause in the bill which
will really throw the expense of the Marion
county Criminal Court on the State. The
Criminal Court was established in this
county with the clear understanding that
the county was to pay all the expenses
thereof, and to attempt to hoodwink the
Legislature into putting this expense on
the State, under the guise of an innocent
salary-increasing bill, is an evidence of bad
faith tina may defeat the bill altogether"

WILL DROP A BOMBSHELL.
Temperance Forces Have a Plan to
Defeat Luhring Bill.

eff the brewers bill to repeal the blanket
remonstrance provision of the Nicholson
law is forced on the House in the face of
the opposition that has developed, we'll
drop a bombshell into the camp of it's sup
porters."
Representative Williams, the leader of
the opposition. made the above statement
last night. When pressed for an explain
alton he refused to reveal the details of
his plan, but admitted that the bombshell
would be in the shape of bill Numerically
opposite in character to the bill under con-
sideration. 1T will be bill that the brew
ers will oppose even more actively than
they are supporting the Luhring BILL" said
Mr. Williams, significantly.
This was interpreted to mean that the
opposition will introduce q bill modifying
the Nicholson law so that the burden of
securing signatures will be placed on the
applicant for liquor license in that the
applicant will be required to back up his
application with petition signed by a ma
jority or by two-thirds, of the voters of
mitted that bill of this nature was be-
ing prepared, but he also said that there
were two or three other effective ways of
getting after the liquor interests If the
necessity arises.
1--WE are forced into this position" he
said, because there was a fair and square
agreement last fall that there should be
no temperance legislation at this session
1t was agreed by both sides that the pres
ent laws should remain unchanged. Now
the liquor interests have broken faith, and
we are no longer under any obligations to
withhold bills that the temperance people
are anxious to have enacted"
Representative Williams is confident that
the brewers bill will be defeated in the
House. He says that the opposition has
enough votes on the majority side alone
to defeat it, and that the minority will not
be a unit in supporting the bill, although
the supporters of the bill are claiming all
the Democratic votes. Mr.. Williams would
not say who would introduce the bomb
SHE'LL" nor would he say when it would
be offered. The disposition made of the
Luhring bill on its report from committee
would determine that, he said.
