Sknatoh \'ooi{Hki>, it seems, is bent on insulting the farmer woolgrower, and then turns around and panders to the trusts. Though he re plied courteously to Secretary Kobe, of the Indiana Wool Growers’ association, ns reported in this paper Tuesday, in which lie didn’t understand himself very well on wool matters, he last week outraged decency and insulted two prominent wool-growers who had called upon a United States senator at Washington to discuss wool mat ters. He even went so far as to order the gentlemen out of the “marble” room of the eapitol, where they had been especially invited. The gentlemen expostulated, and after convincing the sergeantat arms that Senator Yoorhecs was wrong that officer permitted the men to remain. One of the men was General Ransom, a New York democrat, who gave a parting shot at Senator Yoorhecs as follows: “If we had belonged to the sugar trust Voorhees would have been perfectly willing for us to stay; hut as we represented poor farmers, and not trusts, we were kicked out.” Still, as shown in democratic resolutions printed heretofore in this paper, the democratic imiu agers ol Putnam county in convention assembled forced the democratic wool-growing farmers of Put mini county to swallow a resolu tion endorsing Voorhees. We believe some of them are now ready to spew the party that continues such a demagogue in power.

of manna. <»od doe* not put honor on whim- or mere opinion*, or bare purpn*e*, or ethereal, abstract truths: lie pul* honor on holy coin ictiong bv keeping them company in tire and storm and arraying hi- Omnipotence in their behalf. Two scenes present themselves la-fore me. One is a royal pageant. It is the dedication of a golden image in which tie- Babylonian god of tire is supposed to dwell. It the gods ever come down among men, they are present on this | notable on asion. The plain of Dura i* thlck with the dignitaries of the empire. The common |>eople are not here; it i< a day for royality. Princes are here with their paraphernalia of nobility: governors, with their insignia of authority: captains with tlie trophies of victory ; judges whose opinions are law; treasurers in charge of kingly revenues; counsellors whose voices reach the ears of the king. The rulers of the provinces are here from the east and the north and west. They are here from the mountainous ranipatts of Snsiaua and from the western region of ancient Assyria. They are here from the valley of the Kuphrates,the natural gateway of the west, through which Abraham had passed on Ids way from Prof the < haldec. to the land of Panaan. They are here from the slopes of Mesopotamia and from the fertile soil of Syria. They are herefrom Idumaea, the hind of the Arnalekite*, and from Damascus, the country of forest trees and delicious fruits. They are here from Palmyra, the city of nalms, and Phoenicia, “the land of the purple date.’’ They are come from the ends of t Inearth at tin- request of the mighty king of Babylon, to do homage to their favorite god. It is one of the most magniticent pageants the world ever saw. The royal orchestra of Babylon is here, with cornet and llute; with harp and saeklmt; with psaltery and dulcimer, and with every instrument of music known to tin- ancient world. The royal chorus i- here, ready at tin- king’s command to Break forth in praise of tlngoldcn god. The voice of a herald rings out over I he Dura plain; ■ o people, <t nations, O languages!’ What a cosmopolitan gathering is thi-! “Ye princely people of Babylon; ye representatives of tin- nations of tinearth; ye that speak in unknown tongues, hear! Hear, ye princes and potentates, the word of the king, and at the cornet's sound, fall dow n before the image of gold or burn in the tierce (lames of a raging furnace.” Now the air is full of music. The orchestra sounds forth; the chorus sings; and the surging multitudes fall prostrate on the ground. Yonder in the dust are the robes of royalty; and princes and governors, captains and judges, treasurers ami counsellors,sheritls and provincial rulers, all, all do obeisance to the god of gold. All? No. not all. Here are three Hebrew captives. They heard tin-com-mand of the king’s herald. They heard the lirst note of cornet and llute. They saw the multitude* go down on their face* before the image; hut here they *tand in defiance of the king. Such i- the lirst scene that i* pictured before me. a scene of royal pageantry, unexcelled, if not unequalled in the annals of time. But God did not come down from hi* throne to put honor on Nehuchadnez/.ar in this magnitlcent pageant, lie blazed in Horeb’s hush for Muse*, but the dull eyes of Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image waited in vain for the coming of God's glory, lbhid himself in the widow's cruse of oil in honor of the Hebrew prophet, but the sight of princes on the plain of Dura did not tempt him from hi* throne. Above the deafening roar of hungry lions he heard the victorious song of Daniel, hut the blast of Babylon's orchestra did not reach to the skies. Ir take* more than a royal pageant to bring God down to men. But another scene ri-cs before me. Il is only an hour later. There is no music iu the air. There are no thrones in sigiit. There is no blaze of royalty. There is no concourse of princes. There are no plumes or Imnners. 'Thenare no shouting multitudes. No golden image is here. No Babylonish god appears in view. So far as human eye can discover, the only actors in this scene are a few Babylonian soldiers and three young Hebrew captives. These three young men haveju-t held audience with a king. 'They were not abashed in his presence, for they have been accustomed to hold audience with a greater than the king of Babylon. These are the three young men who dared to stand when princes fell. These are the three young men who heard the cornet’s sound, and yet with sublime courage stood erect before the gods of Nebuchadnezzar, hut who, on hearing the heavenly signals, have been accustomed to fall down before the God of the Hebrews. It takes more th in the orchestra of Babylon and the sight of prostrate royalty to bring them down in worship. It take* more than a kingmade god to bend their knees. They might have compromised, for had not Nebuchadnezzar done great things for them? They might have remained away from the pageant and invented some pietext to account for their absence. But they were there. They might have bowed the body when tincornets sounded and have withheld their spiritual ohei-anee from the golden image; but they were not cowards. They were not accustomed to compromise. Whims compromise. < (pinions compromise. Purposes compromise. Bui conviction, never. And so they were hurried before the enraged king. After all, it w as not yet too late.

They might still have another trial. Once more the cornet would *oiilid. Once more the royal pageant would he enacted on their behalf. Perhaps it was not of purpose they had failed to bend the knee. Let music again till the air, and perchance they will repent their folly and tall down before Die 1 heathen god. Or. give them time to deliberate. It may le*. if they can think it over for a night, they may find some way to hush their conscience, and bargain with God. Perhaps they did not know the penalty. Rehearse it to them once again, O king of Babylon, ami a*k them, "Who i- that God that shall deliver them out of tliy hands?” But no. 'They had taken their course with premeditation and delilieration. They needed no further time to consider. 'They were ready. They clearly understood the penalty. But the God without whose power no furnace fires had ever yet been kindled could protect them if he saw best. And if he did not, still they preferred God, to the golden image. Thev preferred to burn for God rather than to cringe la-fore Nebuchad-

nezzar.

And now we return to our unpretentious scene. There i* nothing in it to attract. No vestige of royalty is h-ft. 'Tlie pageant i* yonder, not here. Tingods of Babylon are on the plain of Dura. They care for pomp and splendor, triumph and trophy, royal robes and kingly crow ns. What care they for disgraced captive- going to their death? Let the pageant go on, and if the poor Hebrew prisoners in their last extremity cry out for help, the gods of Babylon will not hear; or if they hear, they w ill not h ed, for there is more music to their ear* in the noise of pageantry than in the agonizing cry

for help.

The scene is -imple. Three men artdragged along by a few of the mightiest soldiers of Babylon’* army. These men cannot re*ist, for they are hound hand and foot. And now tlu-\ halt. Here i* one of the famous furnaces of Babylon. At its ordinary temperature. it will disintegrate the most refractory substance; hut now it ragewit h sevenfold tlereene**. Open the doors, ye mighty soldiers of Babylon ! 'The flames are impatient for their prey. Their hot tongues dart to and fro in search of their victims. Open wide the doors and cast the Hebrew* into the hotte.*t of the tire. They defied the king of Babylon; now- let the insulted heathen lire god wreak his vengeance on the miscreant rebels! Dye stalwart soldiers, why fall ye down in death without the furnace doors? If ye give way la-fore the *park that issues forth from that tierce flame, who shall save the Hebrew s in

the midst thereof?

Ah, where is the lire god now? His golden image is yonder on the Dura plain, and king and princes do him liomauc; and yet these Hebrew sous, who defied the king of Babylon on hithrone, now defy the Babylonish tire god himself on his very throne of lire. Burn, ye flames, your hottest! Rage, ye tires, your fleree-t! Consume the bond* that hind the sonsof the Hebrews and *•■! them free! But touch not tlio-e mantles that enwrap them, for see ye not, they shine with the splendor of Jehovah? Come not upon those hoseti in which they walk, for know ye not. they glow with the presence of God ? Breatlie not your tlcry breath upon those turbans that crown their heads, for see ye not they are radiant with the glory of divinity? Rage, ye tires, your hottest! Burn, ve flames, your Hercest! But touch not the three men that walk in your midst; for lo, your Master has come! The fire god has fled, but the God of Fire has appeared. 'The God who kindled tin- suns and who dwellforever in their flames is here. He came not to do honor to tlie royal pageant on the plain of Dura, hut the heavens could not hold him when hi* truth wa* -iibmerged in a Hery furnace. It 1-better to be in the furnace with the God of Fire than on the throne with the tire god of Nebuchadnezzar. The noise of Babylon’s pageant was not heard beyond the plain of Dura, hut the God of tlie Hebrews, dwelling on tlie throne of His Holiness, and listening to the anthems of angels and archangels,heard a note higher than angelic chorus had ever sounded;and cherubim ami seraphim dropped their harps and listened to the strain: and God himself bent hi* ear to catch the triiimphant note; and thii* it ran: “O Nebuchadnezzar, w e are ready to answer thee. If it he -o, our God whom we serve, i* able to deliver ns from the burning rtei*y furnace. The tires of thy furnace are hot, hut hotter are the tire* of God’s consuming wrath. Sevenfold may he the fury of thy flames, hut sev- 1 enty times sevenfold is the power of our | God. Wi can burn at tin- command of > an ephemeral king, hut we cannot turn traitor to the king eternal. Our God will deliver 11* out of Ihy liuml, (> king. But whether lie will deliver us or not, be it knownto thee, (> king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast

set up.”

No wonder God hastened from his throne to hide himself in the flames and take otf their edge of tire before the Hebrews came. That is what God thinks of a conviction. He keeps it company in the hottest tires that human or satauic ingenuity can kindle. He keep* il company on land and sea; in storm and battle; in pestilence and famine; in lions’ den* and vipers’ nests: in eaves of the earth ami on mountain summits; in earth and heaven; in time and iu eternity. A conviction is sublime, because it is immortal. You cannot drown it in the flood, for God will build it an ark and follow it over the seas. You cannot smother it in a dark dungeon of Egypt, for God will pour in upon it tlie air of heaven and illuminate it with hi* glory and bring it forth to reign upon the throne. You cannot dazzle it in the mngniticeut court of Pharaoh, for it is yet to gaze w ithout flinching on the greater majesty of God for forty years in Midian. You cannot discourage it through devious wandering* in the w ilderne-s of Paran, for God will bring it forth to a land flowing with milk and honey. You cannot kill it with the swords of the Arnalekite.*, for tin- sword of the Lord and of Gideon will be unsheathed iu it* defense. Yon cannot shrivel it with a drought of yuirs, for God will show the Ti-hbitc prophet a cloud over the waters of the Mediterranean. You cannot frighten it with the roar of hungry lions in the land of < haldca. for God w ill go down with it in r o tin- loatln-^ouie den. You cuuitot burn it in the flames, for the Form of

the Fourth tiiat i- like unto tlie God ,,f j Fire will lie there. And now we tread on holy ground. \ conviction cannot he -trangled in tiemanner of Bethlehem. It cannot be killed by the bloody men of Herod. It cannot be bought in the wilderness of Judea. It will not weary w ith toilsome marches over the hill* of Gallilee. It will not tremble before the angry mob* of Jerusalem. It w ill tint falter at tingate- of the Garden of Geth*emane. It will not halt at the foot of Mi- 1 alvary. It will not flinch on the cross when all hell com hi ties against it and all heaven -eeuis to forsake it. And it will not -tav long in Joseph’s new tomb. A conviction? It is divine. For God | has put infinite honor upon it whenever | and wherever it lias appeared among men. He has taken up his abode with it: he has l>euttlie heavens iu its behalf; he has opened the portals of the skies to do it homage ;and lie once incarnated himself for thirty-three years in a Human Life that was completely absorbed by an omnipresent,unalterable and holy

conviction.

Do you want the company of God? Then have a conviction. I do not say have convictions; but rather, have one far-reaching, all-ah-orbing. unconquerable conviction that will stay with you by night and by day; at home and abroad: among friend-and foes; in prosperity and adversity; in life ami in death.— one consuming conviction, one omnipresent and omnipotent DUGHT. driving and drawing you into the will of God. Do you know-, that is why the Son of Man and tlie Son of God kept uninterrupted company with each other during thirty three years of un-

exampled test.

If you want the company of God. you must he Godlike; and if you would he Godlike, you must set your faces 1111alterably and eternally against all -in God w ill fly to you as sw iftly as he flew to the sons of the Hebrews, if a conviction drives you into a furnace of tire. ! He will -|H-ed to your rescue as straight as he sued to Daniel, if a conviction ! forces you into the jaws of the wild beasts of ealu 1 n v ami persecution. Hi- j may not save you from the tire, as he I did the Hebrew captives; he may not | *ave you from the lions, as he did his 1 servant of old ; but he will save you in the lire and in the den; and after all, what more could lie desired? It was a j verv small matter to those heroic souls. I whether they went to their Anal reward j by way of the furnace of Nebiichndtiez- | zar or by way of his throne. It was a j small matter to Daniel whether In-j stepped into heaven from the den ot lions or from the court of Darius.

The alumni ot Greencastle decided last March to have the portrait painted and appealed to the alumni of the university asking each alumnus to contribute one dollar; which request was very generally responded to, several sending in. in their desire to show their appreciation and love tor Dr. Martin, many times the amount asked for. The general heeding of this request is a source of much gratification to the many friends and also to the relatives of the late Dr. Martin. The committee having the work in charge were Dr. T. G.
