COUSINS EuLoGY OF DoLLivER.
Last Thursday afternoon a joint
assembly of the Iowa legislature was
held especially for the purpose of
paying tribute to the memory of the
late Senator Deliver.
Former Congressman Robert G.
Cousins spoke the words of remem-
brance, and his written address was
a mastery production. Some of the
newspapers are censuring Mr. Cous-
ms for going outside of his written
lines and naming its beauty by in
dulging in bitter partisan remarks.
BE this as it may the written speech
is replete with oratorical gems.
Here are a few of them:

Fewer Churches, More Religion.

(The ngregationalist.)
Many community presents today
the painful spectacle of being over
churched and at the same time under
Christianized. Ii is trying in desul-
tory and unsatisfactory way to main
tain half a dozen churches where two
or three would be more effective, or a
dozen where six would better serve the
kingdom of God. If in these same
communities business concerns had
multiplied until the supply had out
stripped the demand. some would have
to choose between migration or bank
ruptey.. If the public schools were
run on non cooperative basis out
cries would be heard against ex-
travagance and waste.
1t will be affirmed that If two
churches become one or five churches
three the aggregate attendance Sun
day morning will not be any larger
than before the combination. Posi-
bly, this will be true at the start but
even then money could be saved. bet
ter preaching and Sunday school in
struetion secured and a stronger and
more varied appeal be made to out
siders.
1t will be said again that less work
will be done than under the old COM
petitive regime. But is all the work
done now by the isolated units really
contributory to the kingdom of God
Does not much of it go to the grinding
of old grist to the keeping of the in
stitution alive? We wish we could
know just how much vital energy on
the part of men and women throughout
this land goes for suppers, fairs and
entertainments designed to bring
money into the church treasury.
The one question for earnest Chris
tian men and women in their personal
relation to this problem of unity is
not: What do | personally like best ?
not, What am l used to? but What is
best for this community of which | am
part and for the kingdom of Heaven,
for which | daily pray? Nothing
would electrify many communities
more or prove more potent means of
increasing public respect for the
churches than a striking demonstra-
ton of the reality and depth of Chris
tan unity underneath UNCONVENTIONAL
divisions. Then indeed would out
siders exclaim. See how these Chris
tians love one another"

nossession of that country, why.
then sbouId Japan be deemed foolish
enough 40 attempt such a thing as
to come here and take. possession of
any corner of American territory?
OF course it is argued that Hawaii
would he taken first and that the Jap
anese navy and army would then op-
crate from there. But, conceding that
mucb tbe Japanese base of operations
would still he more than 1000 miles
from any possible point of attack.
There is another argument left TO
those who are always seeing war
clouds and that is, that Japan Will
some day sail down to the Philippines
and take possession, and that when the
American navy goes across to drive
ont the invaders it will be sunk as
was the Russian fleet. Should Japan
be foolish enough TO even attempt
such a movement as this, the Powers
of the world would see to it that no
outrages upon Americans, foreigners
or native citizens of the Philippines
were perpetrated and then Uncle Sam
would go deliberately about packing
his knapsack and laying in his store
of supplies. calling forth all of his
wonderful resources, collecting to-
gether and making up such a naval
and military force as would eveutu-
ally be able to sail across the Pacific
Ocean and sweep from its path every
conceivable force in opposition to it
which the Far East could muster,
And in that day. if it shall ever come.
America will be recognized as the
much talked about Coming Boss of
the Pacific"

The power of an earnest working
purpose among the friends of temper
ance in Maine has been apparent the
past year. The moral and the social
elements have been appealed to with
decided success and effective organiza-
tions among the Sons of Temperance,
and their lady visitors have been
maintained and are increasing, in
nearly all parts of the State. From
these organizations, we have at times,
the most encouraging accounts of men
abandoning the use of Intoxicating
beverages. and standing forth as free
men redeemed from the slavery of in
Temperance. The light of reason
and the attractions of these social and
interesting organizations, have given
tc these men new and better affec-
tion which have expelled the old love
for liquors. and thus raised the drunk

There is to be a State Temperance
Convention in this city on Tuesday, the

will be large attendance of the sin

portions of the State. NOW, THAT
BY THE COMMON CONSENT OF
THE WHOLE PEOPLE, THE SUB
JECT OF TEMPERANCE IS RE-
MOVED FROM THE POLITICAL
PLATFORM, MEN OF ALL PARTIES
AND PERSUASIONS MAY WELL
MEET TOGETHER TO CONSULT
UPON THE PUBLIC GOOD TOUCH
ING THIS GREAT MATTER. In the
varied experiences and observations
of men there may very possibly be a
difference of opinion as to measures
but the temperance men of Maine are
tolerant Of opinion, and can inter
change their views and encourage
each other in the right. THEY HAVE
PLOUGHED AND NARROWED THE
FIELD OF ARGUMENT ALL OVER
FROM LICENSES AND MORAL

FIGHT for Temperance 1000 Years Old.

Should not the temperance organiza-
tions of the state of Maine rally to
their states HONOR and the guarding
of their CHILDREN'S INHERITANCE
in the kingdom which God has per-
mitted Christ To prepare for their oc-
cupancy beyond the power of earthly
wifulness and selishness and greed to
destroy, and drive again from the
state of Maine every possible menace
which could reach them from the
liquor traffic
How many students of the Bible
have noticed that it was after partak
ing of the wine at the last supper that
Satan entered into Judas? How many
have noted that the Saviour then
said: Il will not drink henceforth of
this fruit of the wine until that day
when ! drink it new with you in my
Fathers kingdom" II Christians fol-
low Christs example. why should not
they also renounCc what the Saviour
renounced, and voluntarily and of
their own God given will drink no
more of this fruit of the wine until
they drink it in their Fathers kingdom,
heaven? Paul, whom the spirit aided
in interpreting Christ. said: If meat
maketh my brother To offend | will
eat no more meat while the world
stands. When Christians say and
practice When drink maketh my
brother to offend | will drink no more
liquor while the world stands, then
they may discern the true meaning of
the heaven winning command: Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart and with all thy mind and
with all thy strength and with all thy
soul, and thy neighbor as myself"
God wants no slaves. He wants will
ing service, through love and not
through the expectation of worldly
gain or simulated worship. If all the
sins and crimes committed through
fear OF worldly criticism or loss of
worldly prestige were done away with.
the sadness and misery Of this old
world of ours would be materially less
ened. And if the sins and crimes
committed through selfishness and love
of ease and appreciation were no lon-
ger committed, the greater portion of
the balance of crime would be ban
ished from the earth. would it not?
Who can say in all fairness that the
liquor seller who has sold to man
liquor under the influence of which he
commits crime. is not an accessory
before the act to that crime? And
when one remembers the comparative
ly trivial crimes for which men are
sentenced to lifelong Imprisonment
While the rumseller whose greed SEN
fences living beings to punishment
reaching ever beyond the confines of
the earth. himself is oftentimes con-
sidered respectable citizen of this
world and calmly pursues his ceaseless
preparation of myriads of crimes so
numerous that he is himself unable to
know how many and far reaching they
are-we cannot help thinking that the
first and most important study In life
should be to gain true conception of
justice.
