VOLUME. VII. (?'9*1 Mtt<1 OllV Null v? I.iiikI CAM DION. 8. FRIDAY, At (UJ6T THE GREAT TRIAL. WK. VAI, MAGIC'S SUNDAY Til KM K. There Ih Coming a Day of Trial In WliW'li Not Only (lie Saint Hut the Stnuoi* Must Appear, IPkxt: rt\Vo have an adVocato with the Father. Jesus Christ tho rlghtoou*." ? I John 11-, I. Standing in a court room, you siy to your Bolf: "At this bar crlmo has 6 ft on boon arraigned; at this witness stand tno oath has often lieon takun; nt this Jurors' bench tho vordlot 1ms boon renderodj nt this Judge's desk sontonoe has boon pronounced.". But I have to toll you to-dny of n trial higllftr than any Oyer and Terminer or Circuit or Sn prome or Ohaucory. It is tho trial of ovory Ohrlstlan mnn for tho life of his soul. This trial Is different from nny other in tho fact thnt it in both civil and criminal. Tho issuos at stake aro tromondous, and 1 shall in my sermon show von, first, what nro tho ground* of coriiplalnt; thon, who nre tho witnesses In tho cause, and bully, who are the advocate*. Whon a trial is called on tho first tiling Is to have tho Indictinont road. Stand n p then, O, Christian .man, and hoar tho indictment of tho court of high heaven against thy soul. It is an Indictment of ten counts, for thou hast directly or indirectly broken all tho ton commandment*. You know how it thun dered on Sinai and whon God came down how tho mountain rooked and the smoke * ascended as from a smoldering furnace, and tho darkness gathered thiol;, and the loud, deep trhmpet uttered tho words. "Tho soul that slnneth, it shall hUo!.' Are you guilty, or not guilty? Do not putHn a negative plea too quick, for I have to announce that "all havo sinned and como short of tho glory of God. There Is none that doolh good; no, not one. Whosoever shall keop t lie whole law, yet ofl'ond in one point, ho is guilty of all." Do not, thorefore, be too hasty In pronouncing yoursolf not gullly. Tho lawsuit before us also charges you with the breaking of a solomn contract. Many a time did wo promise to bo the Lord's. We got down on our knees and said: "O. Lord, I am Thlno now and forover." "Did you keep tho promise? Ilavo you stoo l up to tho contra'-t? Have you not sometimes faltered when you ought to havo been true? Have you not been proud wliou yoa ought to have been humble? Havo you not played the coward whon you ought to have been the hero? 1 charge it upon you and I chargo it upon myself ? we have broken tho con tract . Still further; this lawsuit claims damages at your hands. T ve gr;atost slundor on the the Christian religion is nil Inconsistent pro fessor. Tho Uibl'? says religion Is one thing; we, by our Inconsistency, say religion is some other thing, and what I? inoro deplora ble about it is that people can see faults iu others while they can not soo any tu tbom solves. If you shall at anytime find some miserable old gossip, with imperfections from the crown of her head to tho sole of her foot, a perfect blotch, of sin herself, she will go tattling/wWtling, tattling, all the years of her life about the Inconsistencies of others, having'no idea that she is inconsistent her self. God save tho world from the gossip, female and male! I think the males nro the worst! Now you have heard tho indictment read. Aro you ready to plead guilly or not guilty? Perhaps you are not ready yot to plead. Then the'lrial will go on. The witnesses will be called, and we shall havo tho matter de cided. In tho name of Go;l I now mnko pro clamation: Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! whoever hatli anything to ofTor in this trial in. which God is tlio plaintiff and the Christian soul tho defendant, lot him now stop forth and give testimony iu this solemn trial. The flr.-t witness 1 call upon the stand in bohalf of the prosccuti'on is tho world ? all critical nnd observant of Christian char acter. You know that there aro pooplo around you who perpetually banquet on tho frailties oT God's children. You may know, if you have lived i ri tho country, that a crow cares lor nothing 30 much as carrion. There are those who imaXrino that out of the faults of Christians the)* can make a bridge of boats across tho stream of death, and thoy are going to try it; but, alas for tho mistake! When they get mld-stroam away will go the bridge and down will go their souls to pordl tion. O world of tho greedy oyo and tho hard heart, como on the stand now and tes tify in bohalf of the prosecution against this Christian soul on trial. What do you know about this Christian man? "Oh, says tho world. "1 know a great deal about him. He talks about putting his treasures iu hoaven, but he is the sharpest man In a trade I over knp.<V. Ho seems to want us to bollovo that ho fs a child of (tod, but ho is iust full of imperfections. I do not knew but I am a great deal lr.'ticr than he is now, Ofteu times ho Is very earthly, and h? talks so lit tle about Christ and so much about himself. I am very glad to testify that this is a bad man." Stop, O World, witii tho greedy eye And hard heart. I fear you are too much Inter ested In this (rial to give impartial evidence. A?/?t wit those who hear tho testimony of this ?witness know that there is an old family quarrel between theso two parties. There n I ways has been a variance between the World and tho Church, and while tho World 011 tho witness stand to-dayy has told a groat deal of Irulli about 1 bis Christian man, you must t:\ko it all with muoli allowance, rc- : memborlng that they still keen the old grudgo good. O, World of tho greedy and tho hard heart, that will do; you must alt down. Tho second witness? I call in\thls easels Conscience. Who nrt thou. O Oonsciencc? i What- is your business? Whero w'oro you M?"" What aro you doing hero? "Oil," p[ys Conscience, "I was horn In heaven. I ? came down to b. -friend this man. I have lived with hlin. I havo instructed him. I . havo warned him. I showed him tho right and the wrong, advising him to tako tho 0110 and csche.v the other. I have kindled great light In his soul. With a whip of scorpion I bnvoscourgod his wiokodness.nnd I have tried to cheer him whon doing right; and yot I nm compelled to testjfy 011 the Ptand to-day that he has sometimes rejected my m'ssion. Oh, how many cups of life havo I pressed to his lips that no dashed . down.' and how often has he stood with his hard iiekl on the bleeding heart of tho Son of Godl It pains mrf yer> much that 1 liavn to testify against this Christian man, and yet I must, in bohalf of Him who will in no wise clear the guilty, say thnt this Christiau man has done wrong. He has been worldly. He has been neglectful. Ho has done a '* thousand things I10 ought not to have done, And left undone a thousnnd things hoo.ight to havo done." That will do. Conscience. You can sit down. Tho third witness I call in the case is an anffol of Obit. Bright and shining one, what ddest thou hero? What hast thou to say - against this man on trial? "Oh,"?ays the angel, "I hnve boon a messenger to him. I bava guarded him. I have washed him. With thiowing-I havo defended htm, and often times, whkn be knew It not, I led him into xnen puturw-aihl- Mle Mill waten. I anatohed from htm. . the poisoned ehal ; foes. When -bad spirits came upon him to ' destroy him, I fought them baok with ioflnito fierceness, and yet I have to testify., to-day vtbaf he has rejected mjr mhston. He hss -'?not done as he ought to have done. Though I eame from the sky, he drove me baok. Though with this wing I defended him, and thoagn with thisveiee 1 wooed him. ? havo to annouufce hie multiplied laaperfeodons. I difenot keep baok tb* teal teeny, for then! | ShooM not dare to .appear again amongst .. the sinless on<* before the great white on|y owe mora witness to be called on behalf of the prosecution, and that la the Jt, tbe holy, the augtu*. the omnipotent l/ of -AM.

Tho evidence on tho part of tho prosocu tion has closed. Now tot tho defonsri bring on tho rebuttal tastimony. What have you, O Christian soul, to brlug la raply to this ev idenco of tho world, of tho consofen 'o,.of tho angel and'of tho Holy Ghost? No evidence? Are all these things true? "Yes, Unelean, unclean," says every Christian j-oul. What'/ l)o you not begin to tremble at tho thought of condemnation? We havo now come to the most interesting part of this great trial. Tho evidence all in, The advocates speak. The profession of an advocate in full of responsibility? In l?ng land and tho Ut\ilol Slates there havo aiisou men who In this calling havo been honored by th"ir race and thrown contempt upon tboso who in tho profession havebcu guilty of a great muny meannesses, That profes sion will be honorablo us long as it has at taeho 1 to it such names os Manslleld, and Marshnll, and Stor.Wnn I K?nt, an l' South ard, and William Wirt. 'U^u court room has sometimes boon Ihoscenom very marvelous and thrilling things, Kruno of you remom I'er the famou-* (lirard will case, where on" of our advocate*! plea led tho cause or tho Hihle and Christianity in masterly Anglo Sa\.?n, every paragraph a thunderholi. But I turn from tho iMcilal of this mentor* able occasion lo a grander trial, an I 1 navo to loll you that in this trial <>f the CirUllnn. for t ho lifo of bis soul tho advocates eco mightier, wiser and more eloquent. The ovideuce all being i;;, severe and stern J ust loo rises on behalf of the pro-icmtion to make Itis idea. With the 1 ? i ! ? i ? ? open in his hand, ho roa Is the law, siorn and infbvvihlo, and tho p?nrjty: ??Tho soul that almieth, it shall die.'' Then hn says: '?(), Thou Judge and lawgiver, t his is Thino own statute, and all tho ovidonoo in earth and Ikvivoii agrew that tho man has tinned against IIibso onu'Mments. Now lot the HWord teaj) from its . scabbard. Shall a man K<t through tho very flames of Sinai nu singod? Lot tho law bo execute I. Lot judgment bo pronounced. liot bin*, die. I demand that ho diet" O. Chr.stlnn. ilotis it not look very dark for thee? Who will plead on thy side In so for lorn a cans >? v8oiuollmos a m in will l>o brought Into. a court ol taw, and he wilt havo no friends and no money, and tho Judgo will look over tho bar and say: "Is thoro any one who will volunteer to take this man's case and defend him?" An 1 soma young man rises up and says: "I will he nis counsel;" perhaps starting on from that very point to a great and brilliant career. Now, in this matter of tho soul, as you have nothing to pay for conne d, do you think that any one. will volunteer? Ye?, yes: I sou Ouo rising. IIo is a young man, only thirty* throo years of age. I set* I Us countenance suffused with tears and covered witii blood, and ait tho galleries i>f| boa von are thrilled with tho spectacle, U'hanks bo unto Cod, "we have an advocate with tho Father, Jesus Christ the righteous*." Oh, Christian soul, your ease begins to look heller. 1 (I, ink, perhaps, after ail, you may not have to die. Tho bejt Advocate in th? utiiverao has taken your side. No one was over so cjualitlo I to defend you. * He knows all tho law, all its domauds, all its penalties. He is always ready. No new turn of tho caso can surprise Him, and lie will plead for you for nothing as mrnestly as though you brought a world of treasure lo His feet. B?s d?? that. Ho has under taken tho eario of thousands who were a? lor.orn as you and Ho has never lost a ease. Courage, 0 Christian soul! I think that, after all, there may be s;>mo chance for von, for the great Advocate rises to make His plea. Ho says: "I admit all that has been proved against My cliont. I admit all (how sin', ay, more; but look at that wounded hand of Mine and look at that othor wouud ? I hand, and at My right foot and al Mv left foot By all thorn wounds I plead for his clearance. Count all tho drops of My tears. Count all the drops of My blood. By the humiliation of Bethlohow, by llio sweat of Gethsomnne. by tho sufYei-ings of tho cross, f. demand that ho ko free. On this arm lie hath leaned; lo this heart ho bath flown; in My tears lie hath washed; on My rightertus nosjf bo hath depended. Lot him go free. I am fho rauscin Let him oseapo tho lash; I took tho scourging*. Lit Iho cup pass from him; I drank it to tho dregs, l'ut on blm tho erown of life, for I have worn the crown of lliorn?. Ovor against my tlwone of shame sol his throne of triumph!" i Well, llio counsel on both sides have spoken, and thoro is only ouo more thing now remaining, and that is tho awarding of the judgment. If you have ever been in a court room you know tho silonco and sol I omnitv wiion tho verdict is about lo bo ren dered, or tho judgment about to bo given. About this soul on trial? shall it bo saved or shall il bo lost? Attention! above, around, ; beneath. All tho universe cries: "Hear! hear!" Tho Judgo rises and gives this docision, never to be chnugoJ, never to be revolted, "fhero Is, therefore, now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus." But. my frionds, tbera is coming a day of trial in which not only the saint but tho sin ner must appear. That day of trial will come very suddenly. Tho farmer will bo at the plow, the merchant will be in llio count ing room, tho woodman will bo ringing his ax on tho hickoriof, tho weaver will have his foot on the treadle, tho manufacturer will bo walking' amid the bur,:', of looms and tho clacking of flying machinery, tho coun sel may 'jo at tho bar pleading tho law, tho mlnLjJor may bo in the pulpit pleading tho gospel, the drunkard may bo reeling amid his cups and the blasphemer with the oath caught between his teeth. Lo! The .sun hides. Night comes ilown at mid i\oon. The stars appear at noon to day. Thq earth shudders and throbs. There an carthcjtinke opens and a oily sinks as a eroco.iibi would crunch a child. Mountains roll in their nookets and send down their granite cliffs In avalaucho of rook. Bivers pause in their chase for the ?ca, and ocuan, uprenring, orios to the flying Alps and Him alaya. Beasts bellOw and mono end snuff up tbn dark no v. Clouds fly like Hooks c swift eagles. Great thunders bent and boom and burst. Stars shoot aud fall: Tho Al mighty rising on His throne, dcclaras that time shall be no longer, ami iho archangels trump repeats It till nil tho living hear, and tho continents ol dead .spring to lliolr foet, crying: "Timo shall bo no logger!" Oh, on on that day will you be ready? I havo shown you how well tho Christian will got ofT in his trial. Will you got off as well in yourtrlal? Will Christ plead qd your side or againit you? Oh. what trill' you do in thw last groat if yonr conscjonce Is against you, and the world Is iiKftinst you, and the angels of heavdii oro ngalnst you! end the Holy Spirit is against you, and tho Lord God Almighty In against you?

An est! mate based vipon the returns from theso counties and casual information from tho other places the crop at about 50 per cent, of the average. Tho o fleets of tho protracted heat and drought aro painfully apparent in the dam ago to the corn and cotton crops, and it is not unlikely that 50 per cent, is too high an estimate for theso staples.

You have stylo u otir platform, but wo can all ?tand oil it.

But tho democrats had already attached a tail of their own and now tho head has two tails that are waggod by d liferent par ties and it's very annoying, for there ia no law or constitution that allows but one. And there is tho republican party, and before long there will he a goldbug democratic party, and so if this tail question is not fettled tho populists will put up an electoral ticket of their own with Bryan and Watson electors aud it will tako four doctoral tickets to settle the great question of tho next president and vice president. That mums Melvinley and Hohurt, it seems tome, for the re publicans alwaya slick to their party. But J reckon the general managers know mora about tlri? than 1 do and will arrange about tho details. I hope so, for if Bryan is not elected I shall do like Evan Howell said, "I will tako to tho woods," or I will do liko ltigo said, "I will never speak word more;" that is to snv, a political word.

But now Heab dident have lo sell Iuh law j books, 'like an idiol, nor tako his wife's j money out of a national bank. Tho 1 fun of tho whole business is that tho 'i populists took a democrat for presi dent and now have consei ipted a demo crat for governor. Hcab Wright never joined them ur.'tii nflcr ho was nomi nated, in fact, T don't know whether ho has joined them yet or not, nor how long ho will work in the harness. For several years he hasent been considered a subdued working doino crat. He wnscnt well broke and had to bo watched, for . sometimes ho bucked liko a broncho. But this is in his favor, for I never ndmiro a demo crat wlip would go it blin 1 and never j kick ajf the pop of tho parly whip.
