Li r.nu!iiing our su'iji'ct, wo cannot
holp I'MllIng attonlloii again to Jr.
ScnssT Miiiimini: up of ikftovl
dBBBji of tho ApoHtoltc origin .f
KplrH-opdf.V; "If now wo couslUcr
in lino that in the BSOOBd coutury the
Kplscop.il nyntem oxhteti, s it tihtor
lc fnot, in the whole Church, east and
wPt, and was unresist ttigly Rcknswl
oil, Bay unl venial ly,a at least irulirect
ly, of Divine appointment, we can
hiirdly eaeapo the conclusion : that
thlt nrai of a ivorooitmt naturally
grew out of the circumstance and
wants of the Church at th end of the
Apo-iolle period, md could not have
in-cn o quickly and generally Intro
duced, without the HMtictlon, or at
lsM!t the SMJSlSKMjBWi of the surviv
lujf AMHtles, especidlly of John, who
tabortMl on the very threshold of tho
second century, and left behind him
auumterof venerable disciples. At
all events It neodi a strong infusion
of skepticism or of traditional preju
dice to enable one, In tho face of those
facts and witnesses, to pronounce the
Kpiscoml government ol tho ancient
church, a sheer apostacy from the
Apost"iU form and a rudicil revolu
tion." Theso are Mrong words to come
from one who is not un Kpiscopalian,
and whose reputation as a htsloriau
is unequalled lu this country.
Our reason for emphasising Kplscop
acy as a fact of Apostolic times it to
aid the cause of unity In the Church
by thmrtn-j it U be a lauf of th: C hurch
vuTttlly binding upon the rontcienet of
every lover J law ami oxuer.
For even if, (in the fdee of the
history of the Church where it was re
garded as a law until sects arose
without the Episcopal ministry), It be
claimed that a Christian Is at liberty
to refuse or reject the doctrine as he
pleases, unless it can bo shown an
evil and hindrance to thu preaching
of the Gospel all true lovers of unity
In the Church aa will submit to it as
deviling the force of a law from uni
versal practice.
Many persons conscientiously do
not think that any government in the
Church Is of divine origin. They as
sert thut there is no pttssago In the
Scriptures which prescribe three or
ders or any particular form of govern
ment as essential to the existence of
me t .nurcn. nut surety because a
man has formed an opinion concern
ing the essential neeessrsry for sii
vation, ho is not relieved from the
mr.i obligation to continue the ex
isting practices until changed by law.
The mime rsM uut prevail in the
church as in the State and in socie
ty. For example, r. mmi may havo
formed the opinion that capital pun
ishment h wrong; this sentiment
any Isrgelv prevsil in a community,
yet as it is tho Uw of the land the
judge and the Jury cannot allow their
personal prejudices or individual
ideas to decide the cases brought up
before them.
Fr more than this, judge and Jury
are ofllmcs conijiolled to decide coses,
contrary to public sentiment and every
sense of right, and all goad men sub
mit because the evil which would bo
done by breaking tho law would be
grotter than the evil of an unfair ap
plication of the law. Thus a will
properly signed and executed does
to tnifest injustice; it toay bo little
short of robbery from tho circum
stances of its Teatator.aod yet Its pro
visions must be carried out, or endless
confusion would be the result. The
remedy Is provided for by a court of
equity, but where this is impossible,
obedience becomes a test of good cit
izecsnip. The State compels sub
mission where men refuse to obey.
It is the same In society, but here
the law in left to the moral sense of
the individual. There Is no law that
compels a man to wear a hat or the
ordinary costume prevalent among
etvilized people. Women can wear
the Bloomer style of dresj, which Is
near the tnssculine habit as they
can ccme without breaking the law
of the land. They can indulge In
masculine sports, such as ttse-ball,
brass bands, cricket, horse racing,
but society condemns these tres
passes on received customs and when
the opportunity offers avenges Itself
oa those who disregard its unwritten
regulations.
Thus most men ana women
follow the changes of the fashions in
obedience to the common practices
of society, and while no direct punish
ment follows the disregard of those
practices, yet indirectly a penalty ig
is sure to follow. Men who follow
women's trades are apt to become
effemiuate, while woman engaging
In masculine pursuits are equally apt
(all unconscious to themselves) to lose
that womanly modesty which is one
of the graces of their sex. liut as a
rule, of course with exceptions, peo
ple obey the unwritten laws of society
when they know them.
is it right that men should oboy
these laws of State and, society, and
disregard the moral obligations im
posed upon them by their Christian
vows? All disorder is lawlessness
and comes from a disregard of the
fundamental principles upon which
Church, State and society, ex 1st. For
a man to refuse to obey a law because
it is not written is to violate every
principle upon which we act in the
ordinary afftirs of life, and thus,
Christians who cannot see that the
ministry is of Divine appointment
are nevertheless bound by the pre
vailing practice of the church, unless
such practice can be shown absolute
ly contrary to the direct letter of the
Scriptures. Thus Sunday Is nowhere
in the Scriptures commanded as the
Christian Sabbath, but universa
practice and antiquity have made it
as binding on the Christian conscience
FRIDAY, JULY 14,
as If the fourth c mnandiaent, "Us
member the Hibhathlday keep it
Holy" applied to Sunday Instead of
SiturU.iy the Jewish Sabbath. It Is
a law of the samt nature that tho
Scriptures be read In the Christian
worship. Nowhere commanded di
rectly but a rule or law everywhere
followed.
Christ left his church on earth- at
tho means of bringing mankind to i
knowledge of tho principles of tho
Oospcl. it's decrees In council wsrt
everywhere accepted by Christians
as law. for Illustration see the council
held at Jerusalem, Acts XV.
A council of the whole church,
held at Nice 82:1, A. D , settled tho
debates as to the true Interpretation
of the Scriptures concerning the Di
vinity of Christ ; Its decrees on this
subject are accepted by all Kvangeli
cm I denominations. This same ceuu
fit made aod confirmed certuin laws
for the Church which ware every
where obeyed, because a true gener
al council of the Church haa been
looked upon as an authoritative
means of settling donated questions
of doctrine and discipline.
One of these laws was concerning
the proper consecration uf bishops,
that the ministry might be continued
in unbroken descent. It reals thus :
"It Is most proper that a Bishop
should bo constituted by all the
Bishops of tho Province ; but If this
bo difficult en account of some urgent
necessity or tho length of the way,
that at all events throe ahould meet
together at the same place, these
who are absent also giving their
suffragesand their consent In writ
ing, and then the ordinal loo be per
formed. The confirming however
of what is done In each Province be
longs to tho Metropolitan of It."
Canon IV.
This was only afnrmlog a rule
that hal prevailed from tho times of
tho Apostles. Thus wo read la too
Apostolic constitutions, that tho
Ministry were to bo ordained la this
way , VIII Hook of A. C. I
1. "Let a Bishop bo ordained by
two or throe Blshopa."
' Presbyter by one Bishop, s
also a Deacon and the root of tho
Clergy."
Wo see then that th Ministry of
the Church was not regarded as law
ful, unless ordained Mi-irding ta tho
universal practice f the Church. Wo
ask Is It reasonahle th it say body of
Chrlsilsns should di-n-gard these
ruloi? And if they do, ta It not evi
dent tint they have twit a lawful
MlnUtry according to the universal
practice of the Church in the pas
sges, and of nineteen-' went Iotas of
the hristisns of the prison day ?
There is this d Iff re nee between
nresking the law of the land snd
breaking the law of the Church. The
State uses physical force where its
regulations sro disregarded. If n
tax-payer thinks he is unjustly taxed
and icfutcs to pay, his land la seized
and sold to satisfy costs. But in tho
Church If an Individual feels himself
wronged by a law and refuses to
obey, his disobedience cannot be dis
ciplined la the same way ; the only
appeal that can bo made to him is
that he must needs bo subject for
conscience sake. The State needs
ho cheerful submission of her sob-
ects in order to exist ; how much
more does tho Church need that the
moral sense of right of bor members
bo directed to obedience to law as
the only method by which unity
can bo preserved.
Many members of the different do
nominations who may road these
wards hsvo been brought op with
the Idea tbst there Is no law binding
upon their consciences In this respect.
But let them ssk themselves those
questions : Are you not by virtue of
your baptism and faith members of
the Church of Christ? You will
answer, "most certainly." jsy virtue
of your membership in Christ's Cb tuck-
is not your relation to ovary other
true believer In Christ, that of a
brother bouad by tho ties of a love
beyond that of nature ? Again tho
answer must bo yoa." is it not a
violation of this Christian lovo to
deny thst you havo an organic rela
tionship to the living aiombaraof tho
Church, wherever they may be ? If
St. Paul can bo understood in 1 Cor.
XII. no Christian can aay "1 am not
of the body," and if he do ho rends
and divides that Body about which
the law of love says, "thattiere theull
be no echiem ih the Body, but that the
member $ should all have the tame care
one for another. ' '
When Christians do not commune
and work as a united band it must
be at once evident that they are liv
ing ii schism er division and break
ing the law of love. With whom
does the guilt lie ? With those who
hold to the old laws or those who
have no Imw at all ? The answer for
every other society In tho world
would bo, those who break the law
are the guilty parties. Ignorance of
the existence of law makes the wrong
less, and many good Christians have
never dreamt of evil In this respect.
But the Issue csunot be avoided.
Christian believers are brethren
when they do not work together they
break the law of love and there is
guilt in whatever tends to keep this
separation up ; n unlawful Ministry
will not submit to the regulations
which the Church, as a whole, has

The following oration, delivered bj

of the citizens of that place :
Jfr. President, Loiliea ami f ten tie men:
From the earliest dawn o' history two
aotagoaiatie tbeoiios or principle have
contended lor the mastery among men
rbe ooo is liberty, the ether tyranny
The one struggled snd Vsttbd for the
rights of man, the other for bis enslave
ment. One theory inalated that rasnis a
machine in the hands of the State b
whiob its purposes are to be worked
out without regard to the interest or
happiness of the subject; the othoti that
man a Justed before the .State, -Wfore
civil society w is organized or form ad,
and that the Htatte ta only a means of
promoting but welfare; that ha has the
right to exist by virtue of bis manhood?
to eujoy the fruits of bis labor and to
control bis person according to his own
ill in a word, that he has certain in
alienable rights which eruied tadepend
ently of the Hute and ante-da tea its
oxiateoc; which it did not bestow and
can not take away. Tb one theory in
sis ted that all power is in the Kiag in
the Qovsmtaent; the other, that it
u ultimately with the people. The
rineiple and the isuuea are always the
aarne undeir whatever guises they sp
pear. To lbs though if til student of
history even to the every day observer,
the line rf demarcation is plainly and
distinctly drawn. Wiiaever aaaails
popular right or tend to aggregat and
combine ower, and wealth or to with
draw ttietnfiom the people aod place
them in tbe bands or under the control
of the few! belongs to tbe aide of tyran
ny they are the wesons of despot
ism; while on the other hand, what
ever diffuses power snd wealth among
tbe people or prevents their being
grasped and monopolised by tbe selfish
placeman or tbe greedy millionaires,
belongs to the side of liberty--to popular
right. Look otoat over our owu bap
py land, aod the conflict is plainly out
ined and will continue until popular
right, ia completely and absolutely
triumphant, for

Prior to the disooverv of Atactica iu
1492, tho power of mouaicha aud des
pots and Kings bad overshadowed the
tree of liberty in fact, it had wholly
disappointed from among men. No
nation or jieople was front but the ijerm
lived it ooald not bo destroyed. It
had its abiding place in the peoples
hearts in their dreams -in their Utopia
lands, and it only awaited possibilities.
Europe was then Just euistging from
ths long night of the dark ages, which
bad enshrouded her for mora than a
thousand years during which tbe arts
and literature aad learning of the
aneient world bad beau destroyed.
The incursions of barbarians and the
rapacity ef tyrants had left nothing of
tbe past but ruins nothing visible in tho
future, but slavery. But the discovery
of the Western world aud ths art of
printing began to open up new possibili
ties for man. the one a new boms in a
new world tho other, wonderful facili
ties for disseminating bis thoughts and
ideas in difladeaoe of the minions of
power.
But the people of Europe did not
for some centuries dream of emigra
ting to America in any considerable
numbers. At first it was tbe bold,
daring hardy spirits who lowd ami
sought adventure or a wider freviom.
The people genet ally loved tbe graves
of their ancestors and the homes of
their youth too wsll to exchange them
for the untried regions of the New
World.
But events were rapidly culmina
ting ia both Franco and England
whiob forced large numbers from both
countries to face tbe stormy ocean and
the shores of unknown and unexplored
regions and to lay ths foundations of a
new empire in the Western World.
These events were tbe persecutions of
the Hugsnots in France by Lewis XIII
and the persecution at different times,
under various pretexts of every sect
in England aad Scotland by the Stew-
W1 w
arts.
After the establishment of settle
ments at Jamestown in Virginia in
1607 and Plymouth in 1620. others

ly with ths power slaiasd by the
British Parliament to tax tbeaa ia all
cases whatsoever without representa
tion snd sgsinst their will. Thin claim
was broad and distinct. It admitted
no limitations and was clogged with
no conditions. It is true tbe power
had been exercised to a very limited
extent only to tax tea, stamps lege'
documents, neerepapets etc. All this
our forefatbi rs eoul J have paid with
perhaps slight inconvenience, and so
could ilsmpden have paid the ship
money illegally claimed ami exacted
So could any man submit to wrong
and tho rxereise of arbitrary power
ever him and his property. But in
these cases resistance occurred and it
rested upon a higher principle than tbe
few paltry pennies involved; it was re
sistenCe to arbitrary power; it was a
solemn protest in behalf of human free
dom aod each of these events are great
land msTrks in tbe world's history. Our
forefathers realize 1 that "the power to
tax ia tbe power to destroy," that pre
cedent makes law aad tost if this ar
bitrary assumption were oace submit
ted to the right could never be there
after questioned.
Tho Declaratlijn of Independent,
which has been rea l in yonr bearing
to-dav was the inal eneWer of Use
solaniss to parlta&tantl King and minis
try. Ah' ii was the clarion aote of
freedom echoing from the shore of
tbe Western wurld aad sent reverber
ating through tbe palaces of Kings,
asserting tbe great truth never f omul
gated in articulate speech lefure, that
"governments ate instituted amuag
men, deriving their just pew era from
the consent of tbe governed." It was
an earnest protest against legalized
wrong, it was a petition ad drowsed to
the reaon of tbe civilized world in fa
vor of tbe rights of man. It recognized
man as a factor in the State, bis indi
viduality aa something sacred that could
not be rightfully destroyed either by
law or nder, and that it was bis right
to be tiled by a jury of his peers and
tbe vicenage.
And this day is the one hundred and
sixth anniversary of that great declara
tion Happy glorious day I It constitutes
an epoch in history ani in the dettiny
of man.

The crown was within the grasp of
Washington, he put it out of sight;
royalty was within the leach of all, but
they spurned it. One overmastering
controlling purpose astualed all alike,
and that was, to establish a government
where men were equal to bestow no
honors that were not possibly within
tbe reach of all. "Verily, there were
giants in these days." It was personal
ambition which gave ths heroes of the
ancient world a niebe in tbe temple of
immorality. It was the love of power
that impelled Caesar to cross ths
Rubicon. It was the love af conquest
that load Alexander the Groat to the
confines of India and the like greed
and lust seem to have impelled Na
poleon onward until ha had deluged
Europe with blood and his own star
of destiny went down amidst tempest
of battle at Waterloo to rise no more.

which threatened us ia the past, upon
the battle fields, in the cabinet in the
halls of legislation and in foreign
courts havo all been met and overcome
by the wisdom, valor aad p rowers of
our an ess tors, and they have transmit

Our material growth and physic 1

are assured. We now have about

greed and thirst for power, wbieh has
destroyed every Republic upon tbe face
of the earth in which it found an abid
ing place. Sbail this country be con
trolled by its people by the men who
have hewn their way through forest
and mountains and who have traversed
arid deserts from the Atlantic to toe
Pacific and from tbe lakes and gulf ;
by the men who actually produce the
wealth of tbe country by their labor:
or by a moneyed oligarchy, having its
central atatioh iu If all Street with
pickets and spies and organized forces
in every city, toen and bamlti in the
landl
The wealth of this country is rapidly
passing away from tbe people who pro
duce it tiy their labor, into the hands
of myriads of corporation. These cor
porations are invisible intangible, soul
less beings, actuated by common par
poses, without moral and frequently,
without legal restraint or responsibility.
They are not content to follow the oa
tensible ohjecta of their creation but
mutt enter into and take part io the
politics of the country, and in the pres
ent great divtwion of parties, th'.y are tM
on one tide. Not only the', but tbey
do actually control executive, courts,
legislatures and frequently, congress.

None other than the motive ot tbe rob

A decade or two only under this sys
tem have familial ized our cars with the
names of nuilioncariee who havt
drawn t thamseives tbe wealth of the
country fa&ter than you can produce it
by your labor. Tbis wrong is produc
ed by bad laws which were actual! v
designed for its accomplishment. These
vast accumulations of wealth ought to
hays been kept distributed among the
people by whose labor they were f -reduced
and to whom tbey of tight belong.
These men, by virtue of their wealth
sail themselve Kings railroad Kings,
and they now exercise such absolute,
despotic power that when the price of
grain or other commodity which you
have for sale advances a few cents ia
tbe market, a like advance on freight
enables the King to appropriate to him
self that for which yon have labored
and which of right belong to you.
Theso corps rations do not iossees un
limited power nor are they the final er
exclusive Judges of their powers or
rights. Tbey are tbe creatures of lav
and are subject to law, not only the
law as it exists, but such ss shall be
eaacted hereafter. Mr. Justice Woods
in Barton vs. Barbour in the supremo
court of the United State? declares the
true rule of law applicable alike to all
corporations. He said :
"A railroad is authorize! I to be con
structed, mor for public good to be
subserved, than fcr private gain. As
a highway for public tranoeprtation,it is
a matter of public concern, and its con
struction and management belong pri
marily to the coo: nion wealth and are
BT
only put into private hands to subserve
the public convenience and economy.
But the public retains rights of vast
consequence in the road and its append
ages, which neither the company nor
any creditor or msntgageo can interfere
with. They tike their rights subject
to the rights of the public, snd must
be content to enjoy them in subordina
tion thereto." These principles, if
rigidly applied and carried to their
logical consequences will tend to sub
due and render submissive to the law
these presumptuous and arrogant cor
porations. But after all, tbe people do
not wish to destroy them, but to con
trol and fix a limit to their exactions,
and deprive them of the power to plun
der and rob those who are compelled to
deal with them an impartial, fearless
arbiter who shall stand between their
rapacity and ths necessities of ths peo
ple. With ruch limitations, tbey at
once become moat important factors in
the civilization of the ag. Oregon's
