1stance of mans appropriation

instance of mans appropriation of
power.
Man was never content to remain
weaker than he had to- Mr.. Sunday
said He was always looking about
for some new force to master for his
use. Every good thing that is pow
er today was considered foolishness
at the time of its conception. Tho
man that made the first bow and ar
row, the first wagon wheel, that col
Jared steam and discovered electricity
all were called fools by their fellow
men when they first preached their
new ideas. They are all power today
steam is power: electricity is DOW
er.
THE things that we're foolishness
yesterday are power today. 1t will al
ways be SO. These powers today
were foolishness yesterday because
man himself was foolish 1t is but \
short step from foolishness to power.
The same applies to Christianity.
What is foolishness to the unsaved
man is power to ne that is saved. You
can't understand electricity. yet you
believe in its power: but because YOU
can't understand everything in the
Bible you say it is foolishness and
you are fools for believing as you do.
The power is there but you haven't
sense enough to take it.
Whats good to me is foolish to
you; what's power to me IS foolish
ness to the sinner I've got the power
because,I was a fool once and had
enough sense to find it out and see
that | was fool. If you just give re-
ligion a chance to work for you it will
be a power for you instead of fool
1shness. The man that lives for Jesus
Christ and actually lives his Chris
tianlty proves the power of God Just
as the street cars moving up the hill
prove the power of electricity.
You might as well try to dam
Niagara Falls with matches and tooth
picks as stop religion in it's onward
march. through the ages. You can not
shake its power because that; is Of
Cod and proves there is a God. If re-
.iSion was OF man it would have been
blocked ages ago. You get the f.ene-
fit Of any forces by following its com.
mands and giving it chance-and all
ask Is that you give the power of
Jesus Christ the same chance that you
do other forces in your lives

Taking occasion to ,ienouce story
circulating around the city, as e lie,
Mr. Sunday said, before beginning
my sermon l want to brand q miser-
able old lie that is Icing pedded
around the city about me. They have
been low down enough to say that
gave the Courier $3.50 to print my
sermons in full and TO keep things
that | did not want in the paper out
Of print. | want to say that this is
one OF the dirtiest, rottcnest. low lived
lies that has ever been told about me.
Since | have been in this city the
Courier has treated me fine. I wouldn't
ask for better treatmG MT. l think
they have got the best bunch down
there in the office that l have ever
met. I think Powell is dandy fellow
land he has treated me fair and square
and every thing, and young Dougherty
is fine fellow. and Witter-you all
know that fellow who has been report
ing most of the meetings here-the
man with the glasses and hair like a
wig. And l think the whole force is
Ia fine bunch, every one Of them.
Il also see that Dennis and Phillips
say that they have no apology to
make. well neither have l. I wonder
what they would say If someone would
go to them and tell them they had to
give most Of their wages to the poor.
It wouldn't take very sood would it?
why don't they ask the base bali as
soclatlon or some other organization
to donate part of their earning to the
poor? Say. listen to me. 1 would have
more respect for these men If they
would poke gun in my face and go
down in my pocket ana take my mon
ey. AT this point so,r9 woman in the
audience shouted so chat it could be
heard all over the tabernacle, "They
would if they weren't ufraid to-" Con-
tinuing in his denunci:ttion of the
men who signed the patition the evan
gelist said: II have found out that six
OF these men are ownGl in the big
brewery here. They are the fellows
who promote the whisky business,
which helps to make oeople poor, and
drives them from so many homes. Yet
they seem to take n great deal of in
terest in the poor OF late. They must
be shedding crocodile tears for the
poor now
MIR. Sundays sermon was upon that
incident mentioned In the Bible where
Jesus Christ, in talking TO a learned
young lawyer of that time, asked him
what were the two greatest command
ments. The lawyer answered that the
first and second were. After asking the
young man several questions. which
he answered correctly, ,esus told him.
Thou art not far frcnl the kingdom

Sunday said they are many who are
not far from the Kingdom Of God. yet
do not enter in. because they do not
accept Jesus Christ. He said There
are many who are nea: the Kingdom
of God but will be lost unless they are

NEED NOT ABSTAIN
Catholics Dispensed From Usual Fri
day Rule on Christmas-New
Years Unclaimed,

Owing to the fact that Christmas
falls on a Friday this year, the Cath
Ole people will be privileged to par
take of meat on that occasion. While
the laws of the church are very
stringent regarding the observance OF
abstinence from meat on Friday the
feast of the Nativity or birth, of
Christ being observed on this day will
cause a dispensation TO be granted
whereby all of the adi.rrents of Cath
olicism may use meat on that day.
However, as regards New Years day
the same does not Ippiy, notwith :
standing that it, too i, feast day of
the church. known as the feast of the
Circumcision. The dispensation from
abstinence lies entirely with the
Pope and none has ~ IA granted for
the New Years celebration.

Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1908-11-06

Evans, both of whom have no love, we
are thankful, for the Plain Dealer and
whose enmity extended to Scholz who
is relative of the Plain Dealer family.
The small trickery against Scholz in
his first campaign originated with
Salisbury and this year he took the
contract to defeat Scholz, and to do so
decended to methods which all the de-
cent republican leaders repudiated and
disowned, and even caused him to cease
using as it was hurting the whole
ticket.
In doing his dirty work, Salisbury
violated all rules of decency, honor and
appreciation. During his first cam
paign, Mr.. Salisbury's personal charac-
ter was fiercely assailedSby those with
in his own party, but the PLAIN DEAL
ER neither by printed or spoken word
ever mentioned it, fact for which Mr..
Salisbury has repeatedly expressed his
gratitude to the various members of
the PLAIN DEALER family, and hoped
at some time to be able to show his
appreciation. And he did-all the
appreciation of which his small mind is
capable. When relative of the PLAIN
DEALER family aspires to public Office,
Salisbury does his utmost to blacken
the character Of young gn,a man trying y!g to .
Salisbury's idea of clean politics, his
manner of showing appreciation for
favors shown him. his exemplification
of fraternity. And Moen, Evans, and
few others who shall not be forgotten,
were efficient and willing aids.
