••Freely Keeelving.” Sermon delivered at the Christian church Sunday morning, May 3rd. by Pastor B. I. Vaughan. Text: -Freely ye have received, freely give." Luke 10:*. These are the words of the Christ spoken to the twelve as he seut them out to preach to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, the presence of the kingdom of heaven. The text contains a fact and an injunction. “Freely ye have received." was the fact and reason given for the injunction 1 “Freely give." There is a peculiar sense in which the ones to whom this was spoken had freely received. They had been and were then the recipients of great blessings. They belonged to a peculiar people, were heirs of the promise, being children of Abraham. But more than this they had 1 been under the personal influence of Jesus s nce the beginning of His ministry and had indeed freely received the blessings that come to them from His wordsand : works. And more still than this they had received special gifts for the prosecution of the work iu hand. They had been given power over unclean spirits, and the power to iy#al all manner of diseases and thus in < the truest sense had fully received. For this and because of this they were to freely give. Does this fact apply to us? ’ Is there a practical application of this statement to our lives today? if not ifwill not pay us to consider this text for a morning lesson. 1 believe that the effort is wasted and the time lost that is given to a sermon that has no practical application to the present needs of. those who hear it. But does either the fact or the imagination apply to us? If the fact does not, the injunction can not, for truly no oue can be expected to give who has not received. There is today such a spirit of altruism abroad in the land as the would has never seen. Self sacrifice is its motto and its results are the manifold practical applications oflhe-spirit of Christianity to the needs of the world. More is being done now for the relief of the poor and oppressed of earth than ever has been done before. More helping hands have been reached out to those who need, during the past week, perhaps, than have ever been reached out in any week before in the history of the world. On this beautiful Lord’s day morning May 3,1896, there will no doubt be more sermons that have the ring of true service, preached from the pulpits of our j country than ever before and perhaps a week from today there will be still an increase in the amount of this teaching. We are spending less time in the discussion of subjects that have no practical bearing on conduct and more on subjects that look to i the meeting of the needs of humanity. We are thus being led. away from the old individualistic theology into the broader and better social spirit of the Christ. This is a tendency in the right direction, but l ! ke all tendencies it needs to be watched. It is characteristic, of man that he turns his blessings wrong side out, and allows his virtues to become vices by running to seed. Tips spirit of self-sacrifice, of freely giving needs observations*!eSt it run to seed at the expense of the legitimate demands of the individual, for the food for spiritual growth. We need to constantly take our bearings Jest the spirit of altruism carry us away from our spiritual needs. However the danger in that direction is not very great. Angels are the only exponents of the spirit of complete self sacrifice, as they are ministering servants doing the'will of the Father. Until we become angels there is , something else to which we must needs attend. We should make the saying true- “ Freely ye have received.'’ Even Christ Himself, while on earth went aside to pray that He might receive in order to freely give. If Chr’st were to comt? to you today and say. “Freely ye have received,” would He be mistaken? Let us this morning make this a personal matter and so examine ourselves that we may be able to answer this question. We may all With truth answer. “1 have freely received.” Our lives’are filled with Enumerable blessings every day. The most familiar things about ns are things we have received from those who gavdilhem to the race. Let us go far back into the history of Europe and in some secluded hook surrounded by apparatus ot various kinds, shall we find a man busy at workstudjing the elements of which things about him are Composed. He an-, alysis. and synthesizes-, takes apart and puts z together again the substances with which lie deals, and for what purpose.?- jle'ls the 4. , _

« alchemist in search of the philosopher s stone which is to change everything it touches into gold. His search is in vain only in seeming, for this old alchemist, though he did not give me the philosopher's stone, gave me something of infinitely greater worth. He gave to me, through the modem science of chemistry, built upon his researches, a system of medicine a hundredfold more efficient than that of a century ago. whereby the life of my child is made more secure than was the infant life of either of her parents. Isay he gave to me a system Jot medicine, for the best skill of the physician who stands ready to help me is mine, if 1 but need to use it. Thus whenever 1 lay hold of the blessings that are within my reach 1 am freely receiving gifts from bands that have lain tor centuries in the dust. No one of you will go to your home and eat your dinner today without freely receiving from unrequitted hands that have toiled for yon in ages gone by. The boys and girls who idly walk the streets of Decatur at night enjoy the blessiugsofthe beautiful electric lights (they may not consider them a blessing, but rather wish they were shut out. inasmuch as they “love darkness rather than light because their deeds are eviti’i somebody has toiled that they might enjoy this blessing. We have in a sense recieved all these things but we have not freely received them until we can make use of them. There are untold blessings about us every day that we do not freely receive. Have you during the past week freely recieved the blessings of good literature that are yours if you but want them? Ip this day of splendid cheap literature he who is so disposed may freely receive blessings that have cost much in times past. In this city there is an institution that has cost many men their life’s best work and of its blessings there art* those who do not freely receive. It is the public schools, and in the public -schools is a blessing of untold worth, the library. Yet how many of our boys and girls do nft freely receive the helpful inspiration of the excellent books found there, but poison mind and morals with tbe vile trash sold for gain by unprincipled dealers in <ile literature. V .? * Then there is the blessings of life and living and of these have you freely received How has your home life been during the past week? Have you freely received the blessings that come from a kindly Christian home? These come from God with countI less other blessings and of God’s bounties I have you freely received? There are those who live on tlie material husks of life, because of laziness when the opportunity to freely receive from the rich bounty of nature is theirs if they but put forth tbe 1 energy to get it. J have seen men clad in rags and begrimed with dirt, living on tjtp barest necesities of life when they could have freely received the riches of the world. So have I seen men and women clad in costly material raiment, in spiritual rags and taters, begrimed with the dirt Os sin and imortality ami that too when choicest blessings.were theirs did they but care to freely receive the richest blessings of God. We must reach ouf in ord' r to receive and we must receive" before we can give. But remember we are held responsible for giving just the same if the opportunity to receive is ours. Man cannot relieve him.9c.lt of the responsibility that conies with blessings by not taking the blessing when they are in his grasp. John 1). llockefellefTs not more responsible for the right use of his fortune than he was for the right "Use of the talents and opportunities by which he 'amassed this fortune, dur blessings and our opportunities are but our talents and we freely receive the increase”from the use | oFtho.se talents, and as we thus freely receive the divine injunction rests upon us to freely give. Either receiving or giving alone is onesided and each is exercised by the other. The lower forms of animal life are but receivers. They -simply absorb but as we ascend the scale of creation we note the dawn of radiation, of giving out the power absorbed. So in the spiritual world there are little, puny, submarine Christians whose whole strength is spent in absorbing all they can of* God’s blessings and there are higher orders of the children of God Whojreely receive .and as freely give, who absorb the food by which they “grow in grace” niid give out in lives of obidenee to the requirements of <lod .As t he twelve. were'required to give their’ lives, so are we today. I ,et us make, the statement apply to ' us and then obey the divine jnjnrict'wn. P.AIN Pills. “Obe cent auo-e. ’ A £ cL'uggist®

KNEW PEARL BRYAN. Ennim Teeple, ol Till* City, .Het Pearl Bryan on Iler Fatal {’toll To Cincinnati. * We clip the following special from Tuesday morning's Ft. \V ayne Journal, sent from this city: “Miss Emma Teeple, a prominent young lady of this city, has just returned from Cincinnati. She was iu that city at the time of the Pearl Bryan murder, and boarded at the Indiana House, where Pearl first stopped, when on her last visit to that city, and iu fact on earth. She related to a Journal reporter today. a rather pathetic story of her acquaintance with Pearl Bryan. She met Pearl the first evening of her arrival, when she was alone, and disappointed, having failed to see her friends, who were to meet her at the depot. Pearl was very nervous, being somewhat excited. Pearl was assigned a room adjacent to Miss Teeple’s and they soon became intimately acquainted. In a verv pathetic manner Pearl related her deep but hidden trouble, saying she did not know when or what the end would be. At times Pearl would be entirely lost in deep thought, not even hearing her companion’s questions. Miss Teeple relates how Jackson came Friday evening and took Pearl s valise away, and returned later for Pearl. They both bidther adieu as they entered the cab, that night as they gtarted on Pearl’s fatal ride. According to Miss Teeple’s Story, the theory is exploded that Pearl was murdered before taken to Fort Thomas. Grand Jury Report. The grand jury for tbe April term submitted the following report: State of Indiana ) gg County of Adams | Comes’ now the grand furors within and for said county, duly empanaled for the April term, of said county and file the ‘ following leport: The grand jury convened on the 13th day ot April, 1896, and have been in session for seventeen days, having examined. 120 witnesses and returned 11 bills. They further report that on the 28th day of April they visited the county asylum for the poor and found everything in good shape, as far as the management is concerned. Building clean, good beds and everything pertaining to the same in good condition. We further find that there are some needed improvements. There should be some tire protection provided for the building There is also two water closets in too close proximity to the superintendant’s residence and to the building occupied by the inmates to insure the best sanitary conditions. We recommend that the county commissioners have the same removed a reasonable distance from the buildings. There should also be a system ot sewerage put in to carry away the refuse water from the buildings on said farm. We further recommend that the said commissioners, provide a carriage and harness for the use of said asylum as there is no means of conveyance on said farm. We further report that we also visited the jail on said date where we found everything all right and in good shape, sanitary condition good. We find there are some improvements needed at said j,ail. A broken glass in the skylight needs to be replaced. There should be a new cook stove in the kitchen, the , walls of the kitchen and sheriff’s office should be painted, a new fence js also needed along the river east of the jail. We recommend that the commissioners provide these improvements; also repair a leak in the roof at once-. ~ We also recommend that Max i Romberg be allowed the sum of $5 for taking the grand jury to the poor farm, rig, team amt driver furnished.

Ear Bltlen OH'. Monroe, Ind., May 2, ,8961 — This morning (Saturday) a fight took place between John Burkhead and William Brandybefry. Burkhead’s left ear was bitten off by Brandyberry, a real case of maheru. if. Monroe, (Special)—Thin morning (Saturday) ihe building occupied by V. B. Simeoke, as a drug store, caught fire, and was saved by the timely efforts of the fire extinguishers. The show cases, desks and such goods that could be taken out easily were carried away from danger. The damages were nominal. —— Van Buren Break* out Alfulll. Reports have been received of a wild and woolly scene at Van Buren Sunday, when the town made one of its periodical outbreaks. A young man employed in the oil fields was arrested Saturday night ou a charge of having picked another man’s pockets. He was fined 15 and costs, but was allowed to,leave town. It seems that the young man, who is not more than a boy and a relative of Al Heslin, was no sooner released than he was set upon and beaten unmercifully by an angry mob, but finally fell into the hands of friends who dragged him into a barber shop where his persecutors did not dare to follow. The most exciting pait of the affair took place Sunday afternoon. After escaping the mob the boy was taken to his friends in the oil fields, who were up in arms when his story was told. They took the boy and promptly returned to Van Buren. A large store box was secured and placed in the center of the public square. The injured boy was propped upon it (he was not able to sit upright) and his friends, seventy-five or a hundred, formed a circle about the box. They stood with their backs to the box and faced a crowd of Van Buren citizens who had collected. Two of the number walked around the circle and defied anybody to come near the lad. The crow’d finally dispersed without any one getting hurt but for a time it looked decidedly dangerous.—Bluffton News. 1 * ' s ’.a Sunday School and B. Y. B. I .
