SERVICES OF THE SABBATH. Sermon of Rev. J. A. Ronilthaler, the Tabernacle's Prospective Pastor. “Belief in God” the Subject of Rev, W. S. Craig’s Sermon at the First Church —Other Services. FAITH THE FOUNDATION. The Discourse of Rev. J. A. Kondtlialer, of Maryland, at the Tabernacle. f The pulpit of the Tabernecle Church was occupied yesterday morning and evening by the Rev. J. A. Rondthaler, of Hagerstown, Md. Mr. Rondthaler is a gentleman about forty years of age, sandy complexion, a sanguine temperament and energetic disposition, and his most prominent characteristic is earnestness. The subject of his morning sermon was “Faith," based ou the words in Hebrews xi, 33 and 34: “Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of liars, quenched the violence of lire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.” This, said the preacher, is a record of forceful men who lived for a purpose, men of accomplishment who made their mark upon their times. The sentence is in itself an index to that biographical dictionary that runs through the Old Testament and the New Testament as well. If you have read God’s record of his saints, from Genesis to Malaclu to somo profit, a host of names will occur to you in reviewing this sum mary of their lives. One word tells the reason of all their triumphs—this, the refrain throughout this eleventh chapter of Hebrews, and, indeed, through the whole Bible—faith—it has become a religious word. It is the index word of Christianity. Though love has the highest and noblest place in the development of the religion of Jesus Christ, faith has the largest because it is the foundation and is imbedded deep in the progress of God’s religion for men. Having in the wisdom of God become the comprehensive exponent of Christianity, the word faith has been withdrawn from more general use, and is regarded as the exclusive property right of religion. From this it has come to pass that the exercise of fa : th is altogether confined to matters pertaining to the relations between God and man; it is not regarded as an element of power in the ordinary walks of life. There is a general impression that the operative force of faith is an entirely new element which is introduced into the life when the individual becomes a Christian. Let us correct such impressions. Faith is not an arbitrary word that has been introduced into the Christian religion as an entirely new element in the individual's life. It is not the shibboleth of Christianity. It is true that the objects and . attainments of faith ve.iy greatly in the Christian sense as compared with things pertaining only to the world, nut it is also equally true that the demand for faith does not antagonize our human nature and the structure of natural forces. When God requires faith in the Christian sense lie does not establish an entirely new mode of operative forces in our lives, for it is just, as true .in all other ro lations as in the kingdom of God that according to a man’s faith it will be unto him. In develop ing and illustrating this position. Mr. Rondthaler conclusively proved that faith wqsas strongly entrenched in all concerns of business life as in the moral world. No one undertakes the accom filishment of any object or purpose unless he be ieves that it can be done, and that he can do it. A man’s power in the world over himself, his power over difficulties, is always in proportion to the strength of his convictions. As water seeks its level, so action can rise no higher than the faith-force drives it. If this be true in matters of action it is pro eminently true in matters of opinion. He who believes something, has convictions of some kind, always ctrries with him a force which stays him and controls him, and keeps lnm in equipoi&e. Positive conviction of any truth always carries a man triumphant through everything. It must, therefore, be evident that this element of faith is not, as is often charged, an entirely foreign element that Christ's word demands of men. It is no new nor alien principle that is cast into life when we are melon tho threshold of Christianity by an imperative demand, “believe,” as the one supreme condition of entrance. As in all other departments of life, faith, conviction, is the moving force, so in Christianity belief in the truth as it is in Christ Jesus is tho saving power. There is nothing unnatural here. It is in per feet accord with the laws that obtain iu other walks of life. Without conviction, a man can neither be a full man nor do a man’s full work. With convictions he can be, and do to t.he extent of his unwavering belief and confidence. Let me say this, then, as a summary of the discus sion this morning: 1. Faith is the supreme power in life. It con trols in business, in character, and in our relations with God. „ 2. The measure of our accomplishments is in proportion to the force of our convictions. 3. Through the helps that faith gains a man's accomplishments in the realm of morality are unbounded. By virtue of faith, as we have defined it, even* man can be better than he is; any man can break up any evil habit to which he is now enslaved; you can correct any trait that is in your moral life; you can overcome easily besetting sins; you can enjoy communion with God; you can live a Christian life by the power of faith. What you need, standing trembling on tho border of accomplishment is simply conviction, the courage to venture, the belief in tho salvation of ono God. Without faith you can do nothing; with it you can do everything. THE RELIEF IN GOD. The Sermon of Rev. W. G. Craig, of Chicago, at the First Church. Rev. Willis G. Craig, D. D., of the Chicago Theological Seminary, preached at the First Presbyterian Church yesterday, both morning and evening. The text of his morning discourse was, “Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me.”—John xiv, 1. This passage, Rev. Craig said, has been used from timo immemorial for solacing tho grief and the trials of heart of men. Many persons have found a consolation in these words beyond any thiqg iu the world. Despair sometimes seizes the timid Christian thinker as he looks upon tho wickedness and apparent skepticism of the world, but this arises perhaps from an unwarranted expectation as to what Christianity should do, and as the time in which its great work should bo accomplished. Christianity proposes to save those who believe not all men. Wo have no right to complain at its sovereign limitations and no call to mistake them, because they are carefully drawn out for us in the Scriptures. The heart of trembling believers is ready to sink away because one is not able to answer the attacks upon their religion with the public spectacle of a Christianity swooping its way with triumphant strides across the earth, carrying conviction to every heart, and enlisting all men under its ban ncr. These fears of disturbed believers are tin necessary, for all the great movements among men, whether mental, moral, social, political or natural, proceed according to an orderly develop ment, through the action of appropriate means, and to this great law tne religion of Christ is no exception. Men accustomed to watch the movements of Christianity in their own generation, at the same time bearing in thoughtful recollection tho his tory of the past, are not used, when the spiritual forces are drawn back into the mighty depths of her eternal reserve, to hastily conclude that Christianity is a failure. “Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me,” said the great head of the church, the great life principle of Christianity. Outside ot those who profess te be saved by faith in the atoning work of ('hrist it is astonish inir to observe the immense influence of the lite. character and teachings of Jesus upon every de part ment of human life. His person is known everywhere as no other can claim. Had it been the life work of every generation of our era to fix the person of Jesus oa tin great central figure of the work Uie work could not have been more thoroughly i

accomplished. Some people have been known thoroughly to their country; somo people have been known to their generation in all civilized countries, but no person has been universally known among civilized nations but Jesus. His teachings have molded the laws, manners and actions of the most civilized nations upon the earth. The peculiar domestic and social happi ness of the foremost countries in tho world —that which constitutes their crown and secures their permanence—comes from the indoctrination which Jesus gave the world as to the very elements of life. There seems to be a fascination about the word of Christ that chains the mind of our race to to it, like an opposition from another world. In tho great body of what we call degraded humanity throughout Christendon there is not one in a thousand that would deny that Jesus is God any more than they would deny Deity itself. Note the hold that the character and reputation of Jesus has upon scientific men. Mr. Tyndall cannot bear to be enrolled as a man deaf to the influence of Jesus. The vocabulary of the language has been exhausted to find terms to express the high conception of his character. Outside the church the world has been so imstressedf tressed by the character of Jesus that no transation of its general opinions can be better than tho language of the text. We believe in God, we believe in Jeeus. for He and the Father are one, whatever may be the practice. Ho is to our present civilization like the sun to our earth. While skepticism may assist to keep men away from personal union with ( hrist, it cannot drive Him from the general consciousness any more than the foolish disputants who denied personal identity could convince the world that men might seem to exist, but did not. THE CHRISTIAN’S REWARD. Rev. Mr. Dickinson, of Lonisville. at the First Baptist Church. Rev. Mr. Dickinson spoke at the First Baptist Church yesterday morning and evening. Mr. Dickinson is a student at tho Theological Seminary, at Louisville. His father. Rev. Dr. A. E. Dickinson, of Richmond, Va., was invited to preach here and had accepted the invitation, but being unable to come, sent his son. Mr. Dick inson took as his text the ninth verse of the sec ond chapter of Galatians, and preached without notes: “And lotus not be weary in well-doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.' The preacher spoke of sympathy as the essential thing for a leader, and that no matter in what sphere of life a man was placed ho must have a mere or less degree of sympathy to enable him to know the wants of the people. Paul had this sympathy. The man who most movos us, who reaches into the inner sanctuary of our heart is him who enters into the heartaches and the struggles of the simplest citizen. To not weary in well doing takes in tho whole scope of Christian work and Christian effort. We know that persons tire soon, because sooner discouraged in Christian work than in anything else. No man thinks anything of the horn’s he gives to business, day after day, and yet how few hours of Christian work are sufficient to makmost of us weary. I like to think that Paul, looking out, saw not only the Galatians in Asia Minor, but, with his prophetic eye looking down the ages, he saw us too, to say to us: “Be not weary iu well doing, for in due season you shall reap ” It is well to look forward to something—te look forward to a harvest that will repay us foi our toil aud our sufferings. One of the saddest things in human life is to see a man or a womi. who looks forward only to misfortune aud de feat; who looks back to the graves of buried aspirations in the past and goes nothing better in the future. The apostle says it is not so in the Christian life. There certain victory await you in the future. The thought of tliat tri umph and victory seems like a might} stream through the book of Revelations, like the river Rhine runs through all German literature. It is not victory in a vague, abstra*way, but it is a personal victory to each an every one of us. You who have sowed the seen shall reap the harvest; shall go out and gathei the precious fruitage and hold it to your breast Mr. Vanderbilt, sitting in his brown stone front when ho receives a telegram that bis farm in Dakota has yielded a great harvest, does not feel the triumph that a poorer man feels who who has himself sowed the seed, when he com pletes tho harvest With the latter it is blown victory, and he rejoices. And we shall reap not in our season, in our own time, but in God's time. Methodist Quarterly Meetings.

It. Root ■Sc Bro. for over twelve years. These gentlemen will certainly meet with success if enterprise md unsurpassed facilities, backed by the good vishes and patronage of a large circle of friends, are of any value.

THE SPRING-BACK TICKET LEGAL. Judge Forkner Rules in Favor of the Defendant in the Heiny-Wasson Contest. In the Circuit Court, on Saturday, the acting judge, Hon. Mark E. Forkner, of Now Castle, ruled in favor of the defendant, iu the quo warranto proceeding instituted by Eli Heiny against W. G. Wasson for possession of tne country treasurer’s office, holding that the socalled “spring-back” ticket voted by tho Repub licans of this county in 1882 was legal and valid. The decision is of particular interest at this time, insomach as there are other contests do pending upon the issue, and it was one of the points involved in the recent English Peelle congressional contest The ruling of the court brietly, is as follows: There is no charge or imputation of fraud, or error in the votes cast or in counting the same. Neither is there any charge of any actual undue influence upon the voters or of coercion or intimidation other than may be implied from the kind and character of the ballots used by the partisans of the defendant. It is insisted, however, by the plaintiff, that 5,000 of the ballots cast for the* defendant were printed on material other than plain white paper, in violation of the statute, and that for this reason these 5,000 ballots were illegal and should not have been counted to the defendant. The tickets were of the required uniform width, and were printed at the Hasscl man Journal Company, under contract with the Republican central committee of Marion county. There is no evidence that the committee ro quested or directed the tickets to be printed upon this paper or gave any direction in that respect It is testified by the president of the Hassclman Journal Company that ho bought this paper for this specified purpose, with no special design other than that it was of a size that would cut just sixteen tickets without waste. This being a fair statement of what the evidence proves, the question arises at once if this plain white paper, without any distinguishing marks, was within tne meaning of the statute. The statute is that all ballots which may be cast at any election hereafter held in this State shall be written oi printed on plain white paper of a uniform width of three inches, without any distinguishim. mark thereon. What is meant by plain white paper is a matter of construction by the court. In the investigation of statutes, if the words used express clearly the sense and intention of the law, they must always govern. It is nGt permitted to interpret what is plain and mnni feet, as it stands in need of no interpretation. VVhen an act is conceived in clear and precist? terms, when the sense is manifest and leads to nothing absurd, there can be no reason to refuse the sense which it naturally presents to the mind. After quoting a number of authorities, the court comes te the conclusion that the paper used by the Republicans for printing their tickets at the last county election comes within the range of papers covered by the statute, and is plain white paper. When it is said that the stern te should be v*onstrued to mean plain white ordinary news paper, it is sufficient to say that tie legislatin '* has not said so. Within the range of plain white printed papers ’are newspaper grades varying greatly in weight The Legislature has used a term covering all these grades of paper, and it is not for the courts to adopt one to the exclusion f all the others. The court therefore holds that the paper used was plain, white paper, without any distinguish ng mark or other embellishment thereon, and that the ballots were lawful and valid ballots md a decision is therefore rendered for tho de fondant. A motion for anew trial was at once argued and overruled, and an appeal granted to the fctei premc Court THE PILGRIMAGE TO CHICAGO. i Host of Local Statesmen and Delegate.En Route to the Convention.
