MODERN INFIDELITY.
Its Causes—Its Manitcstatlons—Its
Fally and Us Blindness.
Mb. Editor: With your permis
aiott I wouiil like to occupy, frum
line to limp, a abort apace iu your.
eolamBB, devoted to the diecuMton,
iu a frank, candid, and reanouable
spirit, of the aobject anti it* subdi
visions as outlined above.
m reasons for aekiug this priv
ilege sre commendable at least. I
am to arrive at truth, and to de
clare it as the one thing which
should claim our loyalty and alle
gtanee And this ou the ground
that iaidelity, in one, or other of
Its protean shapes, has taken |n>s-
sesaiou ot many iniuda, and is im
pressing them with tbe itlea that the
truth ia all on itt side, and there
fore that faith haa no foundation
iu troth, bnt ia s baseless fabrics.
ti< u composed of equal parts of ig
norance, credolitj, Hupemtitition,
imagination and traditional ant)
educational bias, which deserve uo
consideration at the bands of those
who pose as tbe champions of Joust,
and tbe promoters of truth (as they
understand it). And th s being so,
if 1 can prove to tbem that they
are mistaken In their conceptions
both aa to tbe nature of troth and
Ha moooooly by infidelity, and
shall he able to establish tue fact
that faith has foundations which no
aotaith can, by any possibility
have, the scales may fall from the
oyea of some who think (bey see
and are ia reality blind, and an
•veuMw ou opened io tbem ibroogh
which tbey may appr< ach the thiiue
of Troth, which, iu my opinion,
never jreVeals itself to one who
doubCTts existence and who often
denies to man the capacity to know
and discover troth when be thinks
Of coarse if man has no facul
ty whereby to ktow troth, there is
aa end of the whole matter. In that
ease why seek to discover it wheth
er iu tbe pages of the Bible or lu>
geraoll, of Paul or Pavne, Spur
geou or Spencer, for having | lo f BC .
ulty wheiebytt may be known, bow
ean it be lunoovered by man T I
urge this point becaus** nuless we
eede te nan such a faculty, theie is
uo starting |>oi it and no destina-
tiou. It would be a simp e going
to sea in a bowl, b.tund now hi her
but sailing on indcfliiitely and f»r
no purpose. Mother (ioone may
not have meant it so. but she basin
that thyme about the “three wise
men of Gotham,” described precise
ly tbe perlornianc.' ol many who es
teem themselves wise, but who ent
themselves off trom the power to
prove it by deuving th t n o have
the laonlty of discovering and
knowing •njfthimg,
We are tbesriore eempelh d to
assume that even th'>ae who are
know-nothing enough to affirm this,
will yet ad’inl the possibility of the
possession of such a facnl y by man,
and the consequent pos-«ibi'ity ol
his ability to know truth when be
sees it. They are indeed compelled
to admit it, tor without that admis
sion no single step can be taken.
Hot even so mighty a man as “our
Bob” could get started ou a ques
tioo-askiug trip before un audience

The congregation numbers 200
members, an increase of seventy-
one since the advent ot Mr. Scud
•lay. The church was well filled
Sunday morning. Mr. Scuddsy
pleached from Jeiennah, chap. 50,
verse 5: “They shall auk the way
to Zion with their faces thither
ward, saying, come and fet us join
ourselves to the laird iu a perpet
ual covenant ’hat shall not be In,,
gotten.” In hi* eloquent exordium,
the gifted young preacher outlined
bissuhj'Ct an follows: “A cove-
nun t is a stipjlation or agreement
entered into between two or mure
patties for peiformauce ol certain
duties. Covenants are • f two kinds,
expressed and Imp led.
An expressed covenant is oral or
written ; an implied one, presumed
from the force of circumstances.
Life is sacied, and at tbe bottom of
evety relation tn Me there is a sas
cred contract or coveuaut. A con
tract in which we participate, we
seldom ever lorgct. When we see
a man disregard a covenant, we
look upon him with contempt;
where contracts are disregarded,
chaos retgos. Where co itracts are
not fulfilled, governments and civ-
ilizition are undermined. When
the representative of God use the
solemn tnatrimouial rite at the al
tar, the contracting parties enter
into a:i obligation which applies
not only to themselves, hut to Ue
children who may come after them.
’Public office is a public trust, aud
when tbe servants of the people
pace their hi nd on the sacied
Book and say that they will bo true
to their saore.1 trust, they enter
iuto a covenant between God, the
people aud themselves. Tbe citi
zen says to tbe government, 41 you
will protect my life and property 1
will coutribnte to tbe public tr<os
remedy. Every bottle sold haa
given relief in every case. One roan
took six bottles, and was eared ot
Bh*oniat|ani ot It years* standing.*
Abraham Hare, diuggial, Bellrille,
Ohio, affirms: “The best selling
medicine 1 have ever bandied ia
my 20 y era’ ■ xperbner, i« Elect rid
Bitteis.” Thousand* ol o kers have
added their testimony, at that ibe
verdict is unanimons that Electri
Bitters do cate all dia-sses of the
uryv
“Covenants are at the bxtom, iu
fact are the fonudatioti, of all reli
gions lives. There is infinite love
and condescension in the councils
ot eternity. God stoops to make a
covenant with His creatures and
the Son of God became the medium
by which that contract was con
summated. Jesus said uato the
Father: 4 wi.l go dowuinto the
w orld and offer myself as a propi
tiation.’ This was the first oove
uaut. The next was tbe Abraham
ic covenant. God said unto Abra
ham : ‘Walk befoic me and be thou
perfect. Bless.d are thou at ^ in
thee shall all the nations of the
earth be blessed,’ Moses, at Sinai,
gave tbe law written with the fin
ger of God on enduring tables ot
■tone. Israel by the burnt sacrifi
ces -ealed their acceptance, aud
Moses ratified the name by spnuk
ling the blood of iheoff’riugs upon
the awe stricken throng. By the
coveuaut ot grace Jeaus offered
Hi msclt as a bleeding victim ou the
cro*8.
“By this sacrifice Go I has |H*r-
formed bis share of the lOVeuant,
aud by the months ot His ministers,
who are the witnesses for Christ,
He pleads w ith meu to accept Him
and thus perform their part of this
solemn obligation. Tbe worst form
of apostasy, or covenant-breaking,
is a half-hearted sll- giauce io the
te tellings of the Chi isi iuu religion.
We cannot serve two masters. It
is a sheer impossibility to serve
God and mammon at the same
time.”
The reverend gentleman in bis
peroral inn made » touehiugly beau
tiful appeal to his healers to leuen
their coveuaut with God, savtug :
“I; calamity we tarq to Zion ; so
let us now iu the days of our pros
perity 1 ok unto tbe hills from
whence coiuotb our help, consecra
ting ourselves anew to the service
ot the Master and renewing iu a
peipeiual covenant our alieguuce
of talih, sei vice aud obe«i enoe to
Him, that at the last we may hear tbe
gracious words, ‘Well don*, good
aud faithful servant, enter into the
joys of thy Lord.’ ”
A Woman’s Discovery.
“Another wonderful discovery
has been made and that too by a
lady in this county. Disease fas
tened its t’lutcbea u|M>n her and for
rev« n years she withstood its se
verest tests, hot her viul organs
were anderuiiued aud death seem
ed imminent- For three mouths
she coughed incessantly and conld
not sleep. She bought of us a bot
tle of Dr. King’s New Discovery
lor Consumption and was so mnch
relieved on taking first dose that
she slept a’l night and with one
Imttle has been miraculously cured.
Her name is Mrs. Lnther Lntx.”
