AU who proaoh fool that two kind? of ?ornions aro noooossary, tho ono on tho faith of tho gOBpol, tho othor on tho morality of tho gospol, and tho ono is just as important ns tho othor, for you know that in thia land today thoro aro hundreds of mon hiding bohind tho com munion tablos and in ohurohos of JOBUS Ohrist who havo no business to bo thoro as professors of roligion. Thoy oxpoct to bo all right with God, although thoy .are all wrong with man. And. whilo I want you to undorBtand that by tho doods of tho law no (lesli living oan bo justified and a moro honest lifo cannot ontor us into hoavon. I want you as ?dainty to undoratond that unless tho ifo 1B right tho heart is not right. Graco in tho heart and graoo in tho lifo;so wo must proaoh somotimos tho faith of tho gospol and somotimos tho morality of tho gospol. It nooma to mo thoro has not boon a timo in tho last 50 years whon this lat tor truth needed moro thoroughly to bo presontedintho Amorioan ohurohos. lt not do to bo prosontod today. , A missionary in tho islands of tho Pa oifio preaohod ono Sabbath on honoaty "and dishonesty, and on Monday ho found bis yard full of all styles of good? ?whioh tho nativos had brought. Ho could not understand it until a nativo told hi ul. ' Our gods pormit us to pur loin goods but tho God you toldus about yesterday, tho God of hoavon and earth, it Booms, is against those praoiioos, ana so wo brought all tho goods that do not bolong to us, and they aro lying in tho yard and wo want you to holp us to dis tribute thom anion fi thoir rightful owner And if in all tho pulpits of tho United Statos today rousing Bernions could bo proaohod on bonosty and tho ovils of dishonoBty ard tho sermons woro blessed jjf God and arrangements oould bo mado y whioh all tho go' whioh have boon ^inproperly takon fr\ ono man and ap propriated by ano thor ..hould bc put in thc oity halls of thooountry thoro is not a oity hall in tho United States that would not bo orowdod from oollar to ou pola. Faith of tho gospol; that wo must proaoh and wo do preach. Morality of tho gospol wo must just as oortainly pro olaim. Now, look abroad and soo tho fasci nations that aro thrown around diitor ont styloB of orimo. Tho question that ovory man and woman has bcon askod has boon, Should orimo bo exousod bo oauso it is on a largo scaleV is iniquity guilty and to bo pursued of tho law in proportion as it is on a small soalo? Shall WO havo tho penitentiary for tho man who steals an ovorooat from a hat raok and all Canada for a man to rango in if ho havo robbod tho public of mil lions? Look upon all tho fascinations thrown around fraud in this oountry. Vou know for yoars won havo boon mado hcrooB of and piotorializod and in various ways prosontod to tho public as though somo timos thoy woro worthy of admiration if thoy havo soatterod tho funds of banks or swallowod groat ostatos that did not bolong to thou.. Oar young mon havo boon dazed with this quiok aocumula tion. Thoy havo said: "That's tho way to do it. What's tho uso of our plodding on with small wagon or insig nificant salary whon wo may go into business lifo and with nomo stratagem aobiovo suoh a fortune as.that man han aohiovod?" A diiforont mcasuro has boon appliod to tho orimo of Wall stroot from that whioh has .boon appliod to tho spoils whioh tho man earlies up Bat alloy. So a poddlor oamo down from Now England many yoars ago, took hold of tho money market of Now York, ll (unit ed his abominations in tho sight of all tho pooplo, dofiod publie morals ovory day of his lifo. Young mon lockod up and said: "Ho was a poddlor in ooo dooado, and in tho noxt dooado ho in ono of tho monarchs of tho stock mar ket, That's tho way to do it." To this day tho ovil influonoo of that proiligato hus boon folt, and within tho past fow wooka .ho has had oonapiouous imita tors. ' Thoro has boon an irroaiatiblo im pression going abroad among young mon that tho poorest way to got monoy is to earn it, Tho young man of flaunting oravat says to tho youngman of h?mblo apparol: "What, you only got $1,800 a ?'oar? Why, that wouldn't koop mo n pin monoy. I spond $5,000 a yoar." "Whoro do you got it?" asks tho plain young man.

Now ho has got so far along ho is safo for pordition. ft is quito a long road sometimos for a man to travel before ho gots into tho rotnanoo of orimo. Thoao aro caught who aro only in tho prosaio stage of it, if tho shoriff and constables would only loavo thom alono a little whilo, thoy would Bloal ns woll as anybody. Thoy might not bo ablo to stoat a wholo rail road, but thoy oould mastor a load of pig iron. Now, I alwayo thank God when I find an ostato Uko that go to smash. It is plaguo ?truck, and it blasts tho na tion. I thank God whon it goos into suoh a wrcok it tun novor bo gathorod up again. I want it to booomo so loathsome and suoh an insufforablo ?tonoli that honost you.ogmon will tako warning. IC God ahould put into monoy or its roprosontitivo tho capaci ty to go to its lawful ownor, thoro would not bo a bank or a ?af o ty doposit in tho Unitod States whoso walls would not bo blown out and mortgagor would rip and parobmonts would rond and gold would shoot and beggar? would got o o horacb?ok and ntook gamblers would go to tho almshouso. So thoro bas boon a groat do al of fas oination thrown around libortinisrn. Sooioly is vary aovoro upon tho impuri ty that lurks around tho alleyn and low haunts of tho town. Tho law pureuos it, smites it, inoarooratos it. trios to do stroy it. You know as woll as I that sooioty booomo* loniont in proportion as impurity booomos allluont or is in olovat.d oirolos, and finally sooioty is silont or disposod to palliate Whoro is tho judgo, tho jury, tho polioo oflioor that dare arraign tho woaithy iibortino? Ho walks tho stroets, ho ridos tho parks, ho flaunts his iniquity in tho oyos of tho puro. Tho hag of unlearn ness looks out of tho tapestried window. Whoro is tho law that daros tako tho brazen wrotohos and put their faoos in an iron framo of a stato prison window? SoinotimoB it scorns to mo a? if sooio ty wore going baok to tho stato ot moral? of 1 lorculanoam, whon it soulp turcd its vilonoss on pillara and toinplc wall and nothing but tho lava of a burning mountain oould hide tho im mensity of orimo. At what timo (.Jo j will riso up and oxtirpato thoro evih upon sooioty I know not, nor whothoi ho will do it hy Sro or hurrioano 01 earthquake; but n holy Ged I do noi think will stand it muoh longor.

Wo want about 10,000 pulpits ii Amorioa to thunder, "All adultorcr and whoromongors shall havo thoi plaoo in tho holl that burneth with fir abd ind mat o no, whioh is tho sooom doatb." It is holl on earth and hoi forevor. Wo tuvo got to undoratam that iniquity on Columbia heights c Fifth avenue or Boaoon hill is aa darna able in tho sight of. God as it is in th alunis. Whether it has canopied couo of oider down or dwells amid tho pul ridity of alow tenomont houso. God i aftor it in his vengeanoo. Yot th pulpit of tho Christian church has boo so oowed down on this aubjaot that i hardly daros spoak, and mon aro a most apologotio whon thoy road th Ton Uominandmonts. Thon look at tho fascinations throw around assassinations. Thoro aro iu a oommunitics mon who havo taken th lives of otboi'B unlawfully, not as ox< outionors of tho law, and they go BOC froo. You Bay thoy had thoir provoot tious. God gavo lifo, and ho alono hi a right to tako it, nud ho may tako by visitation of providence or by an O? ooutionor of tho law, who is his mei songer. But when a man assumas th? divino prorogative ho touohos tho lo* est depth of orimo. Sooiety is alert for oortain kinds ( murdor. If a oitizon going along tli road at night is waylaid and slain by robber, wo all wont tho villain arresto and executed. For all garroting, for a beating out of lifo by a dub or an ax < a ohing ?hot, tho law has quiok sprin and hoavv fltroko, but you. know tin whon mon get ?illtient and high positic and thoy nvongo thoir wrongs by takir tho livos of others, great sympathy excited, lawera pload, ladies woo] judgo half H, jury is bribed and the ms goos froo.

I Tho failure, or even the seri-' ons Cutting off of any staple crop of this country is a calamity not to our own people alono but to the world. Other nations aro de pendent upon tho United, ?States for a largo part, of their food supply and aro becoming more so every year. Agricultural production in this country is so far in excess of our domestic needs that many million of for eigners look to it for their sup plies. No other nation over had such a great surplus of food pro ducts every year. Twelve coun tries each bought over $10,000, 000 worth of our farm products last year. The United Kingdom alone took of thom to the value of $408.000,000 and Germany $134, 000.000 worth. The amount of our sales of agricultural pro ducts to other nations was as fol lows: France, $4,000,000; Bel gium, $31,000,000; Italy ,$24,000, 000; Canada, $21,000,000; Ja pan. $15,000,000; Denmark, $l?, 000,000; ?pain,$10,600,000; Cuba, $14,000,000;- British Africa, $10, 300,000. Europe is by far the largest purchaser of our agri cultural products having puiv chased last yoar $739,000,000 worth. The importance of American agriculture to the outside world is impressively illustrated this year. We have the greatest yield of wheat ever known in any country. Our combined crops of spring and winter wheat will exceed 700,000000.bushels vastly more than we can consume and Europe will nave to import moro wheat than ever 'before. .Tho wheat crop of Franco isneaily 100,000,000 bushels short. Ger many has an oven greater rela tive shortage. Tho crops in Rus sia and the Balkan countries havo also suffered^ severely. 1 Europe will pay us an immense amount of money for wheat and I other agricultural products this ? year probably moro than wo over received from lier before on that account. Bryan*a Position In view of tho persistent de claration that Mr Bryan is back ing the Ohio Democrats who propose holding another con vention and putting up a bolt ing State ticket we quote his own words as printed in tho current numbprOf Tho Commoner: 'MVtr. Kilbourno, tho nominee for gov ernor, is an excellent man; a life-long Domocrat and an ac tivo supporter of the national ticket in both 1896 and 1900. Ho is bettor than his ulatform. Ho deserves an should receive the vote of eyery Democrat in Ohio. If any of tho Ohio .Democrats feel aggrieved because tho re organizing element of the! party triumphod'at tho conven tion lot them not visit their dis appointment,, upon the State ticket but rather seo to the nom nation of senators and represen tatives who will select a turst worthy senator. Let them seo to it also that tho State platform is mado tho primaries next time; rather than at tho convention. If tho voters at the primaries had instructed their, delegates to in sist upon tho reaffirmation of the Kansas Oity platform tho result would havo. been different."

Coure M.A. Fino Commoroial Cours?! Wrilo f( 'An Important Ruling Rural mail carries must at tend strictly to business. They will not be allowed to have any side lino as has sometimes been tho caso.? They must carry mail and nothing elso. The post master general has mado the order in regard to the traffic car ried on by carries in the rural] freo delivery service moro dras tic than was at first supposed. Every form of outside work, with an? single exception, is .prohibited. Carriers will bo per mitted to take subscriptions for newspapers arid periodicals, and if any commission is allowed for this they mayen joy it. A1 strenu ous effort has been made .by publishing houfioR that-er?doy the pound rates of postage" to have their circulars and adver tising mather also classod-as an exception, but the department has ruled against this on tho ground that to permit the..car ries to distribute such circulars | in the hope of getting some con^ pensation for themselves Ts \ working directly against the re venues of the postoffice depart ment. Tho department of?ioi?ls think that if the .publishing houses want to distribute adver tising inattor they bettor do iso through tho mailp i'd tho regular and legitm?te Way. lYre reports coming to the department frorti inspectors detailed to look up special cases of excessive activ ity in outside work by carriers in the rural free delivery show also another flagrant, violation of the policy of the department. It was found that many carriers' had made an arrangement with express companies and had small signs nailed on their mail Wagons, suoh as Adams Ex press' Company,' ' " United States Express Company," otc. Tho arrangement in such cases was to make tho carriers f eoders tho express companies and they were allowed usually a commis sion of 15 per cont, for all busi ness originating along their routes through their agency.. This,. ?again, works directly against tho interests of the de partment, patrons often sending articles by express which might othorwise go by mail. So every ciass of business has been ruled out,* with the single exception of subscription for . periodicals. This is justified on the ground that the postal service is intend ed to disseminato.knowledge. tri North .
