FILE DEMURRER
Damage Suit Has no
Foundation.

In an instrument filed yesterday in
the district court, T. P. Spilman de-
clares that the damage suit brought
against him by W. V. Sill
vers, ct al, is without
foundation. In the article on file
practically all the allegations in the
original petition. In which Mr.. Spill.
man Is sued for the sum Of $4,000 is
demurred against on the grounds that
the cause of the action is not based
on references to w. v. Silvers, S. r.
Cheadle, Hamm Brewing Co, Leisy
Brewing Co., or the Ottumwa Brew
ing & Ice Co.
Owing to the hearing of the injunc-
ton proceedings before Judge G. w.
Vermilion, there is little activity In
the court house. The progress of the
saloon case is made none too rapid,
due to the great difficulty in compar-
ing the names en- the petition with
the poll and register books.

(Extract of a Sermon.)

\l2AIl dSC VI d oCl hloh.J
The beauty of Holiness is the beauty
of symmetry. How beautiful is SYM
metrical tree! A tree which is over
grown on one side and half grown on
the opposite is anything but beautiful
Holiness is completeness. There are
men who are we'll developed in one dir
ection but very defective in some other.
They are over-zealous about some good
things and very Indifferent about
others. You will find one who is zeal
Gus for the law of Sabbaths. He will
not ride on the cars on Saturday. He
will not take long walk on the Sab
bath. He will not allow his children
to laugh aloud on Sabbath; but, on
Monday he will take advantage of his
neigbor, if an opportunity is offered
him. His character is not peautlIul
because it is not symmetrical. You will
find one who is jealous advocate of
temperance but Indifferent to benevol-
ence and charity This is not the
beauty of Holiness. The fruits of the
spirit is completely symmetrical. A
monstrocity is never produced by the
Holy Spirit. The fruit of the spirit are
all the graces, not one alone. A holy
man is as good on Saturday as he is
on Sunday; as holy in transaction OF
business as in prayer. Heis thorough
ly good and all good. He thinks as
much OF one commandment as of an

other. He is sound TO the core and
true as steel.
The beauty of Holiness is the beauty
of happiness. False witnesses have
risen up and testified against Holiness,
declaring that it robs men of all the
pleasures of life. This is false. The
holy man hears his Lord saying unto
him, ''Rejoice and be glad" One
beauty about happiness which Holiness
produces is that affliction cannot SER
iously disturb it, We have seen a
good men robbed of his treasures still
singing "This is also good" Dab. Tai
Tamuth, 3rd Chap)
Every element of Holiness is beauti-
full and love is beauty. Love, peace,
patience, brotherly kindness and char
ity are all beautiful. Holiness beauti-
fies the entire being. 1t makes the in
tellect beautiful. The memory of a
good man is full of beautiful pictures.
His imagination is filled with charming
praises His conscience is pure and
serene and his affections are tender
and right. This world is filled with
beauty. 1t is not to be despised. Beau
tiful scenery, beautiful paintings, beau
flowers, but the most beautiful of all
is the beauty of Holiness.
1t is by experience that the lesson
of prayer is learned. What a wonder
full lesson it is! Will prayer be an.
swered by the Almighty? Throughout
all ages men have studied this question
and even in this day and generation
they fail to agree on the answer One
4 says God will not answer prayer" anC
it is said by another "He cannot an
, swer prayer" and this man attempts
to demonstrate it by scientific teaching
Science is a good thing. We shoul'
never make reference to it except will
respect. 1t has always been the frien'
of man. We are indebted to scienc
| for many of the greatest blessings O
civilization. But science can teacl
us nothing in regard to the spiritua
life. When a scientist attempts t.
4 teach men what they shall believ
5 about God and His Kingdom by
i scientific process, he gets outside G
i his sphere. These things can onl
j be discerned spiritually and nc
# through scientific demonstration.
