THE BEGINNING OF Sin WAS
THEME ON WEDNESDAY

Declaring that sin began in heaven
when Satan rebelled against the gov
eminent of God, and further stating
that it will continue in the earth until
the return of Christ, Evangelist c. w.
Johnson in a discourse on "Sin, origin,
nature and plan of salvation" at the
tent, corner Seventh and Dodge streets
on Wednesday evening made an ear
nest appeal to his audience to prepare
themselves for the judgment day,
which is not far away.
Continuing the speaker said: When
some of the angels rebelled in hea-
ven, the subject of their complaint was
the character of their Divine Ruler as
manifested in the regulations framed
angels whom they sought to influence,
they asserted that the angelic nature
was inately holy, and consequently
they were in no need of laws to keep
them in the path Of rectitude. The
laws of heaven were declared to be
infringements of their liberties, and
reflections on the holiness of their ma
lures
Notwithstanding the fact that the
government of heaven was framed
| with the happiness of the angels in
view, misreprese cast a shad-
ow over the divine purposes, and num-
| bers of the angels Zone third. Rev.
12:4) were led into deception and re-
| bellion. In spite of every effort that
was put forth by God and the holy
angels to win back these disaffected
ones, many remained obdurate in their
| rebelliOus attitude, insisting that
their course was the only consistent
one; that God was unjust, caring only
for His own happiness; and that his
law was arbitrary.
The great adversary and his sympa-
thizers were finally expelled, and hea-
ven was freed from their contentious
and complainings. The loyal angels
united in mighty anthem of thanks
giving and praise to God when peace
and harmony was finally restored to
the heavenly precincts. They felt as
sured that the plans and purposes of
God were worthy Of their loyal devo-
ton and highest praise, and they were
convinced that their own happiness
and prosperity were to be found only
in harmOnizing with God and his holy
laws.
| AS the controversy began in heaven
and later transferred to this earth, the
question at issue is, Does God love
His children? and are the laws He
has made to guide them for their best

GOVERNOR AT BURLINGTON
ADDRESSES LARGE AUDIENCE

In an address at Burlington last
night Governor Philip spoke to a
crowd which seemed to be thoroughly
with him and cheered him to the echo
at the conclusion Of his address. The
governor declared that he felt that one
of the things which he had the greatest
right to be pleased with in this cam
paign was that there was no criticism
Of his administration or of the work
it had accomplished.
All the attacks upon him were
based, he declared largely on political
grounds and there was no word being
said against the work which the state
had accomplished either in military
or civil line during his administration.
The governor declared that he and
his opponents were agreed that the
one issue in this campaign was to win
the war and to keep Wisconsin in the
front rank of states in it's war emer-
gency efforts
The governor made an afternoon adj
dress on Thursday to picnic party
given to the members of the HOlstein
Breeders association of Wisconsin on
the farm of George j. Schuster near
MukwOnagO. In his address there the
governor spoke Of the aid which the
Wisconsin farmers were giving to this
government and it's allies in the food
production which this state was &C
cOmplishing.
The governor also talked upon the
farm labor question and he said that
he knew this question was serious
one and one which was likely to be-
come even more serious in the future
The farmers of the state he declared
must meet it by aiding each other in
their farm work as they did in the
pioneer days of the state, and also dur
ing the civil war.
The inhabitants Of the villages and
cities in the agricultural portions OF
the state must also do their part, the
governor said, in aiding the farm sit
uation and he urged that systematic
plans be arranged whereby the men
in other walks of life in the cities and
towns in the agricultural districts OF
the state give a portion of their time
to aiding the farmers in this vicinity
at times when such help was needed
in the harvesting of crops and other
agricultural work.

YANKS GAIN ON THE VESLE
Artillery Driving Germans From POSI-
tions North of Fismes.

tionS North OF FiSmes.
With the American Army on the
Vesle, Aug. 9.-Under almost inces-
SAINT shell fire the Americans struggled
forward during the day to slightly bet
ter positions north Of the Vesle.
French divisions TO tho east and to
the west did their part in Straighten-
ing the line.
This day vas not marked by organ
lied attacks anywhere along the front,
but was puncluated by sharp minor
engagements i'm which the American
gunners successfully covered the Op-
eratiOns of the infantry and the en-
gineers. Along the entire front there
was evident Il determination to stabil-
lie the lines. Whether the battle that
began July IS has virtually ended or
whether the Germans will withdraw
beyond the Aisne are unanswered
questions.
To the Americans already north Of
the river there was added considerable
strength during the night and early
morning. The line is we'll fixed along
the ROuen-Reims road from near
BazOuches, which still is in the hands
of the Germans, to a point we'll east
of Fismes. The Americans hold Els
mes apparently securely, but the vii
lage of North Fismes proved difficult
and at midday was subjected to a ter
rifle Smelling by the American artillery
with the intention Of making 1t I'M
tenable With that small point once
cleared the line would run uninter-
ruptedly toward the east.
