Dr. Rasmus, of Portland, delivered a
a sermon at Grace church April 16th,
in which he said that human society
has no Dower to work its own recon
struction, but declares the burden must
rest upon the shoulders of the Christ.
and that to incorporate the principles
01 tne teachings of Jesus into social com
mercial and individual life will radiate
all evils." That is just the truth, noth
ing short of the truih. How are we go
ing to get these principles into the dif
ferent, parts of the fabric of human so
ciety through tne instrumentality of the
pulpit. Dr. Talmage said, before a
company of ministers in New York Citv,
that if the church did no better in the
future than it had done in the past 50
years, it would take one million years to
eyanuelize the earth gloomy prospect.
Ihat is a long time to wait, too long for
some of us gray haired chaps. Every
reformer, who takes up the cudgel and
endeavors to eradicate some of the evils
that cause so much misery among man
kind, and strive to inculcate in any part
of human society the principles of
the brotherhood of man as taught by Je
sus and lived by his early followers is
the object of censure from the aristo
cratic pulpits of Ihe land. The cry got s
ton h that it is anarchy, it is socialism.
it is everything that is dire from our re
spectable pulpits so soon as a man or
party comes before the people teaching
the brotherhood of man. Tt. 11a
who is on the Lord's side. Stand ud
now you aristocratic gospel sharp and 1
will stand up. I am called an anarch
ist. Let us uncover our hearts and
see who is on the Lord's side. I'll tes
tify first when I think of the suffering,
insufficient clothing, lack of food in this
broad laud of plenty among the sons of
men.
How my heart yearns to gather them
together as a htn gathereth her brood,
warm their benumbed fingers, clothe
their" nearly nakd bodies, feed their
famished stomachs from the great abun
dance we have. Who is on the Lord's
side?
Now I beg your pardon Mr. Preacher !
I did not mean to lay my heart bare
like this. It's anarchy, it's socialism.
Tlieie comes whispering to my consci
ousness in a still small voice. Blessed
are the merciful for they shall obtain
mercy. Is that the promptings of some
malignant obsessing spirit, the father
of anarch . Mr. Preacher please tell
me if it iu. I sh 11 endeavor to free my
self from it.
Here it comes again with an insist
ence to be heard. I cannot ignore, "fn-
asmuch as ye did It unto the least of
these my brethren, ye did li unto me".
I wonder, Mr. Preachnr, if anything like
this was whispered to Mr. McKinley
when he 'winked at the whitew-shing
given to the rotten beef vendors. Oh 1
I beg your pardon, that's anarchy, isn't
it? I want to be on the Lord's side. 1
don't wear a white tie, but I want to be
respectable. I'm not a preacher, but I
work all the time to incorporate into so
ciety the principles as taught by Jesus,
as I understand them.
Here comes the still small voice and
whispers, love your neighbor as your
self. "Do unto others as you would be
done by." It isn't respectable to live
this out to make a praclicle example of
this. That isn't just what Jesus meant
is it? It can't be that. He just intended
we should have something to read and
talk about.
Now it's your turn to testify. What
was that you said Ihe scripture injunc
tion is? "Servants obey your masters",
"make friends to yourselves of the mam
mon of unrighteousness," that will d.
We will excuse you, who's on the Lord's
side.
Here is a vision that conies to me :
Two little hands all blue with the cold,
Two little eyes not seven years old,
Look up into mine and pleadingly say
"Please give me one penny, just one
penny pray.
My mamma is sick, my papa is poor;
He can find no work, sir, though he
search the town o'er.
We are so hungry, we've eat nothing
today.
Please give me one penny, and I'll go
away.
My mamma hag worked from morn
Until night
To provide us food, and make our
our home bright.
But now she is sick, I'm afraid she
will die.
To see her sick and so hungry, I can't
help but cry.
The rich pass me by, and will not give
me heed.
They say "I'm a beggar and am not in
1
uueu,
I never have bt ggf d, si', until today,
Give me one penny, and I'll go away.
Who could resist a plea so sad,
To give a handful of pennies it made
my heart glad.
Her eyes tilled with tears, as she
thankfully said
God will bless you dear sir, he, who
gives us our bread.
This morning mamma prayed as she
lay on her hed
"Give us dear Father our portion of
bread".
I believe my good sir, God sent you
this way,
In answer to prayer for the bread for
today.
What do do when you have scenes
like this. What you go by on the other
side, you say you will be served as Dr
Herrou, of Chicago, was, whom they
fired for taking the side of the poor and
downtrodden. "You say it is against
your cloth for an aristocratic preacher
to take the same position on social ques
tions that vour master did. That wil
do. We will com na re notes flffain and
see who is is on the Lord's side. Good
bye. SauiB.
Vanby . -The
scandalous manner in which win
ter is lingering in Ihe lap of spring, and
spring into summer, causes the farmer
lots of trouble. Many, especially on the
bottoms, have very little grain sown; on
the up lands those who have planted
com, beans and watermelons are afraid
they will have to replant, owing to rot
occasioned by the continuous cold, wet
weather.
Fruits are pretty badly damaged. The
prunes are about gone up. Cherries
badly crippled, and pears and apples
about so so. The outlook is not very
promising.

Someone is feeding dogs with pois

Gunther etch lost a valuable dog last

sheepkilling.but if farmers would put up
their sheep at night, they would not lose
so many. You hardly ever hear of a
man losing sheep, who does not turn
them on the road and leave thein out
over night. 1 hope we will get a chance
to vote on the question "whether stock
shall be allowed to run at large or not."
