Dr. Sheath Breaches on Lazarus
 Rev. Mir. Smith Takes Prayer as Subject.

Rev. Dr. Sheath addressed his peo- pie at the Grand Avenue Congregation al church yesterday morning upon the theme, "The Raising of Lazarus. By way Of introduction he showed that any attempt to deny the fact of miracles was vain; for at the most the question would be left unsettled.
 If anyone should say, You cannot prove that miracles were performed : 1t can be replied, Neither can you prove that they were not performed. If God is free agent in hls universe the possibility of the miraculous must be acknowledged; it then becomes matter of evidence whether any are or have been wrought. Further miracle is not necessarily an act against the laws of God, for God always acts in a rational manner and according to law. But it cannot be questioned that there are laws of God which we do not know. The miracle must then stand to represent such acts, wrought by super human action in accordance with laws of which we have no knowledge. Such miracle was the raising of Lazarus from the dead
 ITO us, however. of infinitely more worth than hypothetical considerations concerning miracles. are the lessons this account will teach us. The story of the raising of Lazarus is given to confirm the faith of the believers in Christ.
 The same confirmation is needed to- day. There is lack of faith In Christ S words. And this faith is necessary not simply for the physical and temporal welfare of men; but more especially for the spiritual good. We should think more of our peace, joy, contentment and spiritual goodness. These are Of infinitely greater worth than health of body or temporal prosperity. No one will deny the great value of sugges- ton, will-power, optimism and unwav- ering faith In ones self.
 But above these are to be placed a strong faith in the power and love Of Jesus Christ The age needs to get on higher ground. Seek ye first the king dom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added un- to you
 This leads to the weightier lesson; the lesson of true living. Our lives should be so unselfish and self-sacrif1c- ing that men may take knowledge that we have been near to the Christ and the Heavenly life. Our faces should not be blistered with the selfish marks Of hell; but rather they should shine with the beauty and radiance of Heaven

 x-Alderman Seth w. Langley says he is tired of voting in barn such as was provided at the last election. The barn was in East Chapel street. MT, Langley says the residents of the Elev- enth ward are entitled to better quar- ters than they voted in at the last election. He is not in favor of the schoohouses for ward voting paces, as was suggested by Professor Kent, how ever. He is of the opinion that each ward is emitted to a good building which could be used for voting and other ward purposes, causes, mass meetings, lectures and entertainments for the people. He says such ward buildings are provided to some extent In Boston.

THE KNOCKER.

You NAV find him most anywhere,
but in our town he is six feet in his
stockings when no has any-long and
lean and lank. Like supersnnuated
circus animal he has contracted the
habit Of sitting down. He sees every.
thing through somber glasses. When
the sun shines from cloudless sky il
IL just the precursor Of coming
storm. We shall never see such
high prices for fruit again. The old
style OF letting the moss grow ON the
trees suits his taste Spraying and
oultivating are all foolishnsss. 1t
doesn't pay.
He never contributes cent for the
mental, moral or material advance
ment of his town except what is
wrung out of him by taxation. No
traios OF mails miss his scrutiny and
yet he has little direct interest in
either. Hard times comes n knocking
AZ the door ana mas ready response
from the knocker for he seems to
revel In the thought that everything
Is going TO the tow vows. He is
never happy unless he is miserable.

Leading Citizen: This strikes
ms as being good time TO pay off
our debts. Many people have drawn
their money from the banks and
slowed it away in various places,
such as old stockings, bureau drawers
or other receptacles. OF course many
Of these repositories are unsafe, far
more unsafe than the banks. To my
way Of thinking, there is one way to
absolutely insure money against loss,
aud that is by paying debts with it.
Honest debts do not depreoiate and
cannot be lost. II u man pays them,
he has the full use OF his money.
Thieves may break into his depository
or pick his pocket hut they cannot
steal what he has paid his creditors
Receipted bills are worth their face
value 10 honest men. We suggest
that those who are fearful as to the
financial future, and especially fearful
rs to their own savings, that they
pay every debt they possibly can.
This will not only secure them
against the amount of loss, hut It
Will benefit the community, increas-
ing tue circulation and promoting
confidence
