An Unofficial Visit.

One should always distinguish be-
tween the private and the official ca
pacity of person. The way of the
policeman may thus be made hard be-
cause he is forced to arrest his friends,
sometimes his former comrades. New
ertheless, stern necessity demands that
the distinction should be kept. A
writer in the New York Times tells
how the Russian novelist, Tolstoi, is
wont to act when occasion demands.

MAN AS THE IMAGE OF GOD.

By Rev. Junius 3. Remensnyder.
And God said, let us make man il
| our image after our likeness.-Gene-
sis 1, &c.
There are two theories of the origin
Of man. One would bring him up from
! the earth beneath, placing his geneal-
ogy with the worms. The other, the
biblical, brings him down from above.
According to Genesis, man was
made in the Divine likeness" What
are the marks OF this image of Cod?
First, the gift of reason. God Is
a rational, thinking spirit. And, In
distinction from the lower creatures,
He has stamped upon US this likeness
of Himself. God has craven His
mathematical thoughts upon atoms
and crystals and snowfakes and on
stars and worlds, and we can read
these thoughts and admire the won
drous picture He has painted in the
| vast gallery of nature because we have
a faculty Of reason akin to His own.
The Image Of God" again, consists
| in freedom. God is free. He knows
no law but His sovereign will. He
does what He chooses to do. Nature
Is under the grip of law. Necessity
holds it with unbending hand The
animals obey their inevitable in
stincts. But God has clothed man
with this Divine prerogative of free
will He is a sovereign
His mind to Him a kingdom isl
To Him pertains the power Of choice.
He is the fashioner of his own destiny.
In the exercise Of this perilous power
he can raise himself to the angels or
! degrade himself below the brutes.
The image of Cod further appears
in mans moral nature. AS power
characterizes the pagan deities, so
Righteousness and goodness character
lie Jehovah. The seat of mans like
ness to this divine quality Is in con-
science. To be pure in heart, to shun
injustice and wrong, to cherish noble
and unselfish ideals, to do good to
fellow men, this likens one most of
| all to God, his maker.
This unique truth should Undue man
| with a sense of his greatness It
| should impel him to self respect To
| stoop to the low and mean is to do
| violence to his high nature and to
commit sacrilege against God, whose
Image he wears. Only good and noble
ends are worthy Of him.
Again 1t shows that we are fitted
for divine fellowship. Mans thoughts
can reach up and Gods thoughts can
| come down and meet, because our ma
lures are akin. Hence we can have
! secret speech with God Prayer is
! justified. The whispers of our souls
are the voices Of a sea that beats on
the shore Of life, but of a sea that
stretches away to shores where is set
the throne of God
We taught respect for our fellow
man. In every one, no matter how
fallen, we should see vestiges of this
divine lineage. Hence, too, issues a
sure hope Of immortality. The SUI
preme characteristics of God is that
HE ltveth forever" We are made In
His image; we cannot die We have
the inbreathing of an indestructible
life
Let no one, then, mar this image
of God" but preserve it's pristine
beauty and remember that He who
made us in His likeness made US for
Himself to serve not perishing, but
the noblest ends of being.

DARKNESS OF PROVIDENCE.

By Rev. W. H. Baker.
Text-"Jesus answered and said
unto him, What 1 do thou knowest
not, but thou shalt know hereafter"
John 1877
The darkness rests upon Providence
because of Its complexity. Even If
Gods dealings with US had reference
but to ourselves, they would be hard
enough to understand. What man
can tell the uses to which God means
to put him, the glory to which He
means to exalt him, even In this
world; how much less than in the
world to come! These threads of the
earthly life, how they stretch beyond
the chasm of death and are woven
into new web above the stars! But
the problem Is rendered vastly more
complex for us by the interdepend-
ence of ell our lives. Each thread is
necessary to the integrity of the fab
rtc, and has It's relation to all
other threads. 1t is in life as in the
diagrams Of the mathematician, where
the same line may represent the side
Of many different figures. Our per-
sonal history touches that of many
another, and our influence Families
through the society in which we move.
The great law Of faith renders mys-
terry indispensable. Faith is the law
of this probationary dispensation, just
as knowledge Is the law of the dis
pensatlon of reward. If a man saws
that the doctrine Of Gods word is in
comprehensive, the answer Is two
fold. God IS infinite, and He cannot
De perfectly comprehended or appre-
Bonded by finite minds His truths,
like the mountains, lift their gray
heads and hide themselves in the
clouds of heaven; and though we pass
around the base, and partly take their
measure, We must always enter the
world in which these mysteries are
lost to sight, before we can take Their
altitude. Then another answer may
be returned, that this intellect of ours
must along with affections and the
will, be put upon probation. It is
the Whole man that God is providing,
educating, training. Does not God IN
this world put the intellect of the crea-
ture upon its trial before Him so
that he shall see the reasonableness
of accepting all the high mysteries Of
grace, simply by the testimony upon
which they rest? This law of faith
extends no less to the conscience, in
asmuch as the law is made the sole
standard of rectitude to man, and he
is not permitted to guide himself by
his natural conscience except as that
conscience is enlightened by Gods in
fallible rule OF right.

While Dayton, Ohio. Is up on its tip
toes this morning at the beginning OF q
two days celebration IN honor OF Wilbur
and Orville Wright. the aeroplane which
has brought them the homage alike oi
townsfolk and governments Is on its
way 10 Fort Myer to be put n final trim
for the tests next week.
So far as the United States government
Is concerned, events are fastening toward
the supreme moment IN the aspirations OF
the former bicycle repairers OF Dayton
It Is true that France has paid 5000 900 FOR
the privilege OF building and using the
Wright flyer; that Italy has paid $4,000
for the rights. and that Germany IS ne
gotating for them. But the winning OF
the meagre $4,000 offered by their own
government is the signal Of the brothers
success among their countrymen. and
that is the prize for which they will COM
pete In the approaching trials.
Side by side are a demonstration IN the
inventors own town the ike or which
has never before been seen IN the land
and the uncertainties OF the final test, the
most exacting OF any that have been pre-
sented before.
The flyer had not arrived IN the CITY az
an early hour this morning. Word was
received at the War Department yester-
day that II had been shipped. With Il IS
coming Charles Z. Taylor, mechanic for
the Wright brothers. who viii start as
Eembling the intricate machine. The in-
ventors are expected to leave Dayton for
Washington next Saturday.

Dayton is Wright mad. Il is making
up for lost time IN showing its apprecia-
ton OF the two brothers who were born

many years OF obscurfty. Flags, bunting.
and allegoricai representatives OF aerial
flights are everywhere. The streets are
alive with color. The people are up IN
the air in the true meaning OF the words.
The celebration begins with the firing
of cannon at O'Clock this morning. i'm
mediately followed BY a chorus OF whis-
ties, IN which every machine In the city

iron throat Following the opening cere-
monies. the State Militia viii parade the
streets, which have been spanned by
arches crowned with models OF aero
ers Will be the guests al a reception. at
which every Daytonian VIII try 20 shake
the hands OF the champions.
Medals awarded by the nation. the
State Of Ohio. and by Dayton win be
presented tomorrow. Gen. James Allen.
chief signal officer OF the army. left
Washington yesterday with Lieut. Lahm
for Dayton. taking the medals authorized
BY Congress. The medals were delivered
70 the army men yesterday by the Di-
rector OF the Mint. and are said 10 be as
artistic as those prepared by the Aero
Club OF America, and recently presented
70 the Wright brothers by President
Taft The presentation will probably be
made by Gen Allen
The feasibility OF shipping a Wright
flyer is shown by the manner in which
II was sent out from Dayton. Il was
packed IN eight boxes, and while great
care was taken 70 prevent breakage IN
transit, the process was no more difficult
that the Grating OF any other compare
lively delicate piece Of merchandise.
