2 Cor. Az. "By the manifestation OF
the truth commencing ourselves to
every mans conscience in the sight
of God"
goth Cent. N. t. sit is by the exhi-
billion of the Truth that we recon-
mend ourselves to every mans con-
science in the sight of God"
In the passage from which the fore
going text is taken, the Apostle Paul
is indicating his Office and ministry.
Other men had underla ken to preach
to the Corinthian church a message
in which falsehood abounded. BY
craftiness and deceit in handling the
Word of God they had sought to lead
many astray. In opposition to such
teachers, Paul asserts that through
out his labors among them he relied
only upon the self evidencing power of
the sheer truth. BY simply exhibit
ing to them that truth he recon-
mended himself and his message to
their conscienceS. This method he
followed with all men.
The situation and text suggest a
series Of propositions.
l. The history of the world, eSpe-
cially in the realm of morality and re-
ligion, has been history OF ceaSeleSs
conflict between truth and falSehood
This statement applies both to the
conceptions and the practices of men.
The history of the individual in these
particulars is the history of the race
epitOmized.
There has ever been a struggle be,
tween true and false ideas as TO the
things of the spiritual life. From
youth to old age the average individ
ual experiences within him wrestling
together of conflicting conceptions OIL
Gods nature and requirements, as
well as true and false notions of what
is good in human conduct. So in the
world at large, to whatever period oil
its history one turns, one finds some
men with pure, elevated thoughts o.
the Divine Being, and aligned against
them many with gross, ignorant anc
superStitious beliefs concerning the
Infinite One. And answering as {
rule very closely to the clash between
high and low conceptions Of God, ha.
been conflict between holy and un
holy ideals of life.
But this war of truth with falSehOo(
also extends itself repeatedly to thu
vi lOO0o III uhiO RloOOlOO
Of men. 1t is one of the strange con
tradictions we meet, that in the live
of some individuals day by day we ma,
see acts and habits that express truI
religious conceptions and perfect NOR
al principles, and over against them
acts and habits that incarnate falls
Thoughts of God and duty. Here, too
! the encounter widens into society a
large, so that in every age and piac
one may find men who champion al
that is true in belief and practice, AM
other men willing for pittance o

There are those who buy the trutl

Thus has this great war gone D.

A NEVER END
ING CONFLICT
A Reprint Of a Sermon BY
Rev. Oliver C. Horsnan,
March S, 1908.
"The War Of Truth and Fatsehood''

A sermon preached in the First Bap-
fist Church of Morristown, by the
Rev. Oliver G. Horsman was printed
in pamphlet under the foregoing
caption, just after it's delivery March
10, 1908. In connection with the SER
mon was a brief note signed with my
initials, suggesting that the sermon
be,reread in eighteen months 1t is
now further suggested thai il will be
we'll to read it in the light of current
Sceptical thought expressed in popular
magazines, and in the newspaper.
Read il in the light of the utterances
Of DR.. Eliot about religion without
authority. Read it, after rerusing
the articles by Harold Bolce, in the
Cosmopolitan Magazine" for May,
June, July, August and September,
articles which, Notwithstanding their
scrappiness, point to widespread un-
belief in the current views of the
I" Rock of Ages" in the divine imper-
ative back of the Ten Commandments,
and in the inspiration and integrity Of
the Scriptures; and also point to a
fatal content, on the part of eminent
clergymen, with replies absurdly in
adequate to meet the issues of the
day. The sermon should also, as far
as possible, be read in the light of the
utterances of the past three or four
decades, which have caused this period
of time to be called ian age of doubt"
Read it with these words mentally
italicised; Even at the time when
error has seemed most likely to sweep
all before it, there have not failed
some men of prophetic insight, an
ointed as through the hand of Truth
herself, who have been mighty leaders
in arousing and directing mems
Thoughts giving them elevation, clar
ity, heat, and propulsve power. So
ever and anon, a new, fresh, and pure
stream of life has flowed out into the
world"
The editor of any paper or periodi-
cal, who wishes to keep in advance of
his age as well as abreast of it, will
make no mistake, if he prints that
sermon and note in conspicuous
place.

Morristown. N. j., Sept. 18th, 1909.
NOTE

This sermon, after delivery on March
18th, 1908, was written out and printed
at the suggestion and request of one
nearer and through the courtesy of a
few members of the church. Keep it
on file for eighteen months; then read
it again and keep it six months longer.
BY that time, it is believed by the one
who made the request, you will value
it as
"The voice Of one crying in the
wilderness
Make we ready the way of the Lord. !"

Taft Likes Newspaper Men.

Mr.. Taft is always glad to see news
paper men, and with those in whom
he has confidence has no hesitancy in
talking freely about public affairs and
the policies Of his administration. He
has rule, however, which most news
paper men observe he is not to be
quoted directly on important public
questions in his offhand talks. When
he desires to be quoted one of his
secretaries gives out typewriter
statement.
The president finds time to run
over the leading papers and keeps
pretty well informed Of public opinion
by reading the news and editorial col
umns of half dozen Of the big pa
pers Of the country.

The premier estimated the average in

super tax. at o cents. which. he said. ne
regarded as extremely moderate, and less
