Rev. A. V. Rhoads Says Church,
Should Not Seek to Garry on Its
Work by Coersion and Power Of the
State.

One of the most dangerous evils
threatening our times is the growing
demand for religious Legislation
Many are led to believe that the
remedy for the present widespread
irreligeon lies through human legis-
laton. Few seem to realize that the
use of force in religion is incon'
sistert with the gospel Of Christ and
that in the end religious legislation
means religious persecution. There
needs to be better and more gem
eral understanding OF the great prin-
ciples underlying human rights and
liberties.
Although there are many individ-
uals who make no religious profess
sion, all it is said, should be required
to conform to the prevailing religious
customs of the land Altho aware
that there is not a perfect agreement
concerning religious beliefs and prac-
tees even among those who profess
religion. the majority, they say,
should rule in religion-rule not Ey
the power Of argument and persua-
sion, but by the power of law and
complrlsion. The state, they hold
should protect religious institutions,
particularly the Sunday Sabbath, by
requiring all to observe them. They
desire that the state shall become the
subservient instrument of the church
and do it's bidding. This in Erief is
their theory. Reformation by law is
their policy.
Many connected with this move
ment are doubtless honest, earnest
and conscientious men. They are
seeking to better existing conditions,
and to inaugurate needed religious
reform. They do not understand the
character of the movement in which
they are engaged, nor perceive to
what it will lead. In asking that re-
ligious observances shall he made
compulsory, they do not see that they
are working on wrong principles.
Neither Christ nor his apostles ever
once appealed to the state to enforce
their teachings. When any religion
becomes religion of civil law, 1t
ceases to be religion of love. The
church proclaims her lax of love and
divine power whenever she seeks to
carry on her work by coersion ond
the power of the state
The crimson blush of shame should
mantle the cheeks of every Christian
today as he witnesses the efforts be-
iEg made by the protested church Of

SET PLAYER TO THINKING
Probably He Was Right in Consider
ing the Game of Chess Good
Deal Like Life.

When young man I was fond Of
playing chess. One day as l was de-
liberating over move in the middle
of game I suddenly asked myself
whether an expert standing beside me
could predict what that move would
be. Not, I saw, unless I had a past
history as a chess player with which
he was familiar If I were a beginner
he could not tell whether would ad-
vance pawn three squares, or move
q castle aslant, or expose my queen
TO capture.
All these, and a multitude of other
possibilities would be open to me and
therefore to his prediction. But If l
had knowledge of the game, these
possibilities would be closed. And If I
were an accomplished player, the ex-
pert at my elbow might whisper to
his neighbor, "There is only one move
he can make. He must attack his op-
ponent's king with his black bishop
AS l then, without hearing the re.
mark, proceed to make that move,
should I feel belittled to have the ex,
pert announce that it was foreknown?
Should l feel that having supposed my
act to be one of freedom, had now
been deprived Of something precious
and myself degraded into a mere
thing? On the contrary, I should
probably feel much flattered and con.
graduate myself on being, and being
known to be, player guided by law
Evidently, then, as personality en-.
larges, conduct becomes more predict.
able. That was the impressive lesson
taught me by this striking case.-G

De Monts, who were driven out of

Since the first settlement in 1863
generations Of the same families have
raised scanty crops in the valleys and
fed sheep and cattle on the high, con-

Year after year men have gone out
on the waters Of the gulf in search of
the cod. mackerel and Holsters on

WOULD keep CHURCH
AND STATE APART

Jesus Christ everywhere, to secure
! ty human Legislation, help to do The
work given it to do. 1t is fias
which it is banging from its mast
l'eal as a signal OF distress and weak
ness. The church should be praying
for the aid of the Holy Spirit rather
than seeking the civil arm. so fal
as the state is concerned man has
a right to observe any day, or no day
rs a rest day or Sabbath The Sab
hath is not a civil hut religious in
stitution. 1t rests on divine pre-
cept. Its observance is duty which
man owes to his Creator, and it's de :
ecration is a spiritual and not a civil
Offense; a sin and not a crime. Bat
a spiritual offence can never rightful
" be punished by civil laws and any
attempt to do so necessitates a unlOn
of church and state. All the drearv
history of the terrible inquisition and
the dark ages in which savages were
made to shudder at the name Of
Christianity, was only the result Of
the church seeking to mete ont pun
ishment for religious offences by the
rower Of the state.
Sabbath breaking is a sin against
Codan d cannot be attoned for by fine
and Imprisonment.
But why should the state pass a
law requiring a person to give one
seventh of his time for worship, any
more than to give one-tenth Of his
income for religious purposes. One
is no more out Of place than the other
Then there is the Lords Supper,
an ordinance established by the Say
Jour himself. Why not petition leg
islators to enact law requiring that
at stated intervals. every citizen--,he
agnostic, the lew, the blasphe1ner,
the Christian is to assemble and par.
take of these sacred emblemso: Oh!
says one, it would be sacrilegtous for
this holy ordinance to be enforced up
on everybody. Is it not equally sac
religious to attempt to force upon ev-
ertody, by law, the Observance of the
Sabbath? Again, take baptism, the
Saviour commanded this ordinance
also. But are those seeking for laws
to make compulsory the observance
of the Lords Way in favor of law
compelling all to be baptized. Why
seek to enforce the Lords Way any
more than the Lords baptism or the
Lords Slipper? Why should it not be
as proper to legislate upon the one as
the other?
Then there is the Lords Prayer I:
certainly is right to pray. Everybody
ought to pray. The Master told us to
prey. Then why do not those de-
handing Sunday laws petition con-

of the delay Hamilton merchants are
having in receiving Chicago merchan-
disc shipped by the Wabash. The
forty-eight hour service of a few
years ago has apparently drifted to
five and eight days. Our goods are in
variably taken through Hamilton to
Keokuk, held there for sorting up
cars. and after several days of wait
ing then returned on an east bound
train. If our Chicago merchandise
must pass through Keokuk, we had
better route it via Burlington Route,
and get through service, leaving Chi
cago at p. M, and reaching Keokuk
the next morning in time for transfer
to Hamilton by wagon the same day.
This would save delays of from three
to seven days that are now of com
