The I?reaelier"N and the 1.flyman** Idea. We once heard of a Baptist Brother who said that be eoatd not see why some people In golmc to hell preferred to go through the the Church. This rather vigorous expression ' Is Just the summing up in a few words the life-long conduct of some people. Judging irom their actions they have no special dread of that place, for they live a life that the Bible says very plainly will lead them there. They do not seem to regard the judgment threatened against liars, and swearers, aud drunkards. ariniiAmre hut thev much prefer to be guilty of tbese things in the church than oul of it. It may be that some think that being in tbe chuch will somehow shield them from the consequences of such sins or lessen them their galit. They spem to think that It is a - good thing to be a member of tbe church, even 1f tbey don't try to live as church members ought An ignorant confidence in chnroh membership Is perhaps the cause oi some men's living lives of sin in tbe church. Others keep up tbe outward forms of religion from regard to the opinions of men. They are careful about tbe appearance of religion but not abont tbe reality. The judgment of Qod for sin seems a small thing to them If they have the approval of men. Tbey are not much concerned about walking in tbe broad road, but they don't waut men to think that of tbem after tbey are gone. They nave uo dislike to living in sin, but tbey want to do it respectably. But there are others still who come into tbe cbureb because their consciences fire not at rest. Tbey have no real intention or even strong desire t<f live a Christian life, bnt tbelr minds are not at peace, and in the hope of finding peace they join tbe church. And in many cases church membership, without real faith in Christ or change of heart, does in a measure quiet the conscience. For this reason tbey prefer to live their lives of worldliuess and sin in the church rather than out of it. Tbey can travel tbe broad road with more t ease of conscience. Willing to take tbe risk or future torment, but tbey want present ease. ?Associate Reformed Presbyterian. Taking the above sermon for a text, a laylay would remark ou tbe same: All that I Lie esteemed oromer says is irut. What he says 1b not only true, but is well ana forcibly wild. Ak is usual, however, with most eminent . preachers, our good brother speaks of "liars, and Hwearera, and drunkards, and adulterers," as if they were the great and chief sinners on ' earth, or;in the church. We all know that theseare not tbechlet sins or the only sins to which our people are addicted. There are not many of the brethren who are notably distinguished above for their fellows as "liars." ^ ..j. Hy "swearers" we prgsugyoqrjrood brother referred to the use.

We bear absolutely nothing as asalnst the habit of tippling, from which habit drunkards | develop. On the subject of "adultery" and virtue, our preachers seem to be dumb an oysters, except in a general way when a pious brother seeks to make vulgar insinuation against tbe purity and respectability of those woo dance. To be sure the evils of which our good brother speaks should be remedied, bat tbe greater and more common sins need not be overlooked. NOTABLE SINS. We ought always to be careful that we do not "Compound for sins we're not inclined to By damning those we have no mind to." The sin of uncbarltableness is a common one, and perhaps tbe greatest of all tbe sins. Tbe sin of oppressing tbe poor, and drlvlDg h good bargain at the expense of the belpless, Is not an unknown one. The withholding ot pay from tbe honest laborer Is a sin. The bubltof speaking evil of an unfortunate j brother should be slopped no matter whether i be is striving for higher attainments or is I recklesly drifting with tbe tide, to a great un- ( known and unfathomable sea of destruction. WHY MRS JOIN THE CHURCH. These are some of the reasons that prompt I men to Join the church, anil there are very | lew who are not moved by one or more of! these reasons. RKWARD FOR JOINING "OUR CHURCH." I Because it helps hlin in his buslnesr, no matter In what directioh he may expend his eu-| ergles. Many church-members make it a rale to ' trade with their brethren. This is used as a standing premium or re- J ward lor Joining "ourcburch.-1 THE IIESI' STEPPING STONE. Pecause it adds popularity, ami, Incase of popular election never fallB to influence votes., The church is the best stepolng stone to political preferment. SOCIAL ADVANTAGE. Because it helps in a social way. The humble citizen is always glad to be a I member ot a fashionable organization. Such membership Insures more or less re- ' cognition from the higher class, and then the | . higher-class art* given a quasi-official opportunity, without compromising themselves, to j patronize people whom they could not other-; wise afield tp notice. . -' GRATIFYING VANITY. Because vanity may be ultimately gratified ! by election toacburohly office. Some people are pleased with very small things. Wiitbout offices and without officers, the State, the Church, the Sunday Schools, the ! Masonic order, anil the Temperance organlzalions, would soon disintegrate. IT HELPS IN MARRIAGE. Because, If unmarried, ltadds tothe chances ui uu .au?.6wm? no amount ok kki.icion necessary. j Because the chances at some or alt of these ; advantages may be Had by a Very trifling ef-, Jort. Jt In only necessary to refrain from profane I swearing, unci avoid vulgar <Jru likeness, while presenting to the outside world a reason- i ably lair exterior. No amount ol' Kincere religion is necessary, I tun! to be allowed to bit high up in thesyu-j ngogue, there need be no wueteof money in > paying honest debit*. There need be no bell-denial in the way of oppressing the poor aud making a good barguin oil of their necessities. The evil word need not be withheld from those who incur their displeasure. By censuring evil Id others unmercifully, we make the implication that we are ourselves fautless and sin not. t. . charity. Because it is not necessary to exercise char-1 ity-and by charity we do not menu the giving away of one's subsUioce?but we meau that \ charity which is a little lenient to the faults of others; that charity which would apologize to a cold and nn.feellng world for the J short comings of a struggling brother; that charity which can see'the worthy qualities In another; that charity which is not so sell conceited as to dame every one who cannot > come up to all the requirements, K measurer] *hy their owe standard.;;, that charity which would sjieak an encouraging word to the falut-hearted; that charity which would raise up the fallen and inspire in them new ( I .V; / ?.v I)l ' X - ,.:y^ . ... . : s hope to become .dutiful children in doing ac ceptable work l<ir our Heavenly Father. 1IKI.PINO TKl'K HKI.IKV.KIIS.

Hecause by joining the church, we show I where we put our laith, and the true believer ! shows In his dully life, the Christianity In his ] ?ouI. | lu this he is different trom those who Join j j from mercenary reasons, and who, like the1 ' I'oiiceman, must wear a badge on their coat, j or proclaim It from the housetops. Their actions never suggest, or give a hint, j as to their piety or church-membership. j THK WAV MKN* SH01TI.II HE Jl'lKJKD. Every man should be Judged by the highest : known standard?ttiat is to say, by the money standard. At) honest man is the noblest work of God. Maybe you hold up your hands In holy horror at the idea of such a measurement. If so, your horror and your fear are well I founded. I There are comparatively few who cau stand the test. Anybody can be a church member and offer long prayers in public, but it takes a man ?the highest type of man?to be hottest. Honest, in thought?honest in speech?hon-1 est in action. | No man is true Christian who is not honest. Honesty Is the basic principle of all true religion, and of every worthy effort. So to ! speak, honesty is the foundation stone upon which every good edifice is built. Without j honesty there Is no truth. Without truth there Is no true and sincere religion, it there J be no true and sincere religion, there is no ( true and living God. j i tie presumption ?, mr?v u??Ci. constructed on h theory of honesty. If it were not so, does anybody suppose that pearls would have been put In the gates, on that the streets would have been paved with gold ? If the average church-member were to get there it would not be three months until the pearly gates would be robbed, and the last paving stone on the golden streets would be taken up. There are church members whom we would not trust with a little stiver, to say nolhlnp of tempting them with great quantities of pearls and golden paving bi iek6.' ! Turn a lot of dishonest church members loose in heaven and it would be impossible to employ enough policemen to protect the goldI en streets and the pearly gates. i yo; the Lord God Almighty never comtem; plated allowing dishonest men to enter the ! kingdom of beaveu. The hypocrit may bring alms to ttie church ; and he may lay stolen gilts on the altar ot the , Lord. | For doing so he may receive praise from his I brethren, but the world knows a thief. ! Any able bodied man who canuot secure | credit for a few dollars In a store, should with! draw his membership. The world has found him out. j No man can long sustain a good place In the' j sight of men who does not pay bis debts, and I vet our good and pious preachers have very ! little to say of a sin that will certainly under- J | mine and break down me dusi cnuracier 111 j the world. i STEALING UNDER THE GUISE OK A CON. TRACT. | Many most excellent and well meaning men may dare t lie dangers of commerce, and, t irom no Intentional fault of tlielrs, become i <ieeply Involved, and yet preserve their good ! name and their character for integrity; but j the man who does not pay bis current or ordinary expenses has no right to church-membership. | While he may not be a vulgur every day i tbtef he may be shrewd enough to steal his, 1 oelgbbor's goods or money under the guise of j a contract. The moral wrong Is perfectly plain. | The thief in this Instance, has not only I abused the confidence of a trusting neighbor, but has added to tbelt that other debasing I crime?lying. 1 When a man canuot stand before men? | i when his word is not good for a mess ot pot tage?then he has no right to assume to be a ; sanotitied child of the Father. If a man is not honest, he has no right to , claim the name of Christian. A Christian Is the perfect man?a well rounded character?and every member who I does not observe the rules of common honesty j detracts from the church by his presence In ; tlio / hnr^h. * He must provide things honestly In the ?lght of all men, or else he sh><uid not assume to come into the holy sanctuary Vm entering which even good men should take oft their i shoes. 1 Respeotttble Whiskey SIh?|?m. Charlerton Sun. Sweden and Norway have achieved them? Sweden aud Norway that ten years ago had the name of being the most drunken countries in tbe world. Now they are models of sobriety compared to even the United States. The change has been wrought by the new liquor law under which a city government takes charge of the sale of intoxlcatfng drinks. In Sweden "no man can make a cent" from liquor selling. The city government buys at wholesale liquors of guaranteed purity, designates tbe places at which they shall be sold and the hours, and then puts a tnan in charge on a salary. Tbe less whisky tbe man sells tbe more succesful he Is considered to be as a business man. He must be one of the most reputable citizens of the town, or he wilt not be permitted to have charge of a .tniuuu. The saloon Itself 1b a plain, four walled I room. No pictures decorate it: no warm | stove sends out genial comfort. There is not even a chair to sit down in. A man may buy j whisky by the drink. He drinks it and is sent off about his busiuess. He may not have ! another drink of spirits <under three hours.! The liquor shops are not opened till So'clock j in the morning. They are closed at the noon I nour and closed at 7:30 In the evening in winter and 6 in summer. On pay days the | saloons are shut before the workmen get money, and the day before a holiday they close at noon. The result Is that drunkenness , in Sweden and Norway is decreasing per- i ceptibly and steadily. J. X Get my Prio TORES, Y OUT-i : j. d. i % " ' * -S . : r .a .> ; . ? >?- . ! : --?-4x?
