THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 25. 1891--TWELVE PAGES.

1SUNDAY THOUGHTS!-

MORALS rf MANNERS tT A CLKKGTMA.5. With party politics the pulpit should have nothing to do. Our congregations are composed of the representatives of all parties. When, therefore, a pulpiteer preaches a gospel of partizanship instead of the eoppel of Christ, he runs u-muck, and harts the vide ho aims to help which iathe consolation enjoyed by the other side. But in our country every man in a I king and every woman is a queen. Hero right and wrong may be voted up or voted down by universal suffrage. Hence there is a necessity laid upon the pulpit to treat the underlying and essential principles of i food government, as occasion serves, and to urge in a Christian and patriotic spirit tipon the attention of the community tho fundamental duties of American citizenship. aw, this is St. Washington's day. As on the other paints' days the peculiar virtues of the saints thus commemorated are pointed out, so to-lay it would bo proper to emphasis those "traits which lift the father of hi country into pre-eminence. Washington was rigidly honest. What is more needed in public lif new-a-days than honesty? The great Virginian was proverbially truthful. What is morn noticeably lacking at present among the politicians than truthfulness? Washington built his character on the decalogue and practiced the golden rule, which certain pyrotechnieal senators todav contemptuously condemn as inconsistent with "practical politics." Yes, we are persuaded that timely and Impressive sermons mi?ht be preached today with the first president for the fruitful" test. Unlike some other preaching, this sort would strike home. "I should suspect," said old Fletcher of Sal toon, "his preachinghad not salt in it who made no galled horse wince." The Sunday-school teachers a mighty rmv have every encouragement in their work. To begin with, they are dealing with human nature at the start. The young life before them is moldable not yet hardened from the imtle into bone, aa Burke paid of the colonies in '7'.'. Old Dr. Johnson, who hated the Scotch, used to say: "If you catch a N-otsman young you may hope to make something of him." The s.true thing is true of any youngster. The Sunday school turns a virgin leaf, and mav wnte thereon what it will. Not less cheering is the reflex influence of the teaching and teachers, which is not so frequently thought of or enlarged upon. But in instructing others w e teach ourselves. How many tine lessons of selfcontrol, tact, prudenee anl persuasiveness are learned in the Sunday-school class! In pointing others to the Savior our own spiritual vision is clarified. In order to teach the lesson we have to learn it, and learn all around it a broadening process indeed. In urging the scholars to love righteousness our own hearts are warmed toward whatever is of good report. Then, when the lesson is over and we go out into the world again, we carry with us these enlarged sympathies and this keener conscience and this wider knowledge and this Christian spirit; so that the home profits by it and business feels it and the community at largo is blessedly infected. As a mere self-quickener. Sundayschool teaching yields a rich return. The Christian HrraW calls attention to a notab'e reunion which took place a few day9 ago in the town of Dolgevil'e, '. Y., and which illustrates the benefits of cooperation between master and workmen. Less than twenty-five years since, Alfred Dolge began there the business of making piano sounding boards. lie had been a working man himself and knew the hardships of his cla.-s. Hence ho resolved to try the experiment of profit, sharing with his employes. The result has been a success beyond expectation. From a viilage of 200 peopie the y-lace has grown to 2.500; every workman in the great ketones is a partner, cn a scale graded by behavior and length of service, and each man is insured by the general concern. After ten years the artizan receives a profit annually equal to fifty per cent, of tho wages he earns; after thirteen years, GO per cent.; after sixteen years, 70 per cent.; alter nineteen years, SO per cent.; after twentytwo years, lO per cent. ; after twenty-five years, 1U0 per cent. When he reaches sixty he is pensioned, or the amount of Lis en dowment is paid to his heirs. Almost ah are homeo wrier, and there is. to all appearances, no happier or more prosferoui community in the Union. Schools, yceurns and libraries are provided, and there is a fine public park. Best of alt it is a God-fearing town. Churches abound and are weil supported. Grog shops are unknown. AM this has been accomplished by co-operation. Preaching in the east end of London, in aid of the Seamen's Christian Friend society, the Kev. Archibald Brown related this incident: "There came to me hero one day a grand-looking fellow. I had not to ask whether he was a sailor, for the se abreezes had kisse 1 his brow so often that thdr mark was left there. 1 said: 'Where did you find the Lord?'

I thought if I were on shore I would know where I was saved, and whv should I not know at sea? And so I took my latitude and longitude.'" Last week we called attention to the marvelous growth and scope of the Christian endeavor movement. There is another organization about equally worthy of study and commendation f?o practical, withal, that it might be called a leaguo of serviceableness. On a January day in the year of grace, 183t, a group of serious, sweet-faced women sat talking in a parlor, not of the latest fashionable fad nor of tho newest thing in bonnets, nor of the insolence of servants, nor of tho incapability of dressmakers, but of womanhood, its needs, possibilities and responsibilities. Out of their talk grew a purpo.o to band themselves together m a loving sisterhood of service, anil a pledge to do whatever reasonable thing might be needed by friend, stranger, or enemy, without question or delay to do it "in His name." One of the group suggested that they call themselves "Kings' Daughters," and another proposed that the symbol of tho order should bo a tiny Maltese cross of silver tied with tho royal color. Then they knelt, and a voice was lifted up in supplication and benediction. The women dispersed and hastened in divers directions through the wintry dusk, never dreaming that nt the outcome of that litt;e meeting and whispered prayer a world-wild sisterhood would issue forth, embracing women of all ranks and nationalities and religious belief ; that the factory girl would join hands with the society belie to make life easier and tho world happier. Hut those women repeated the story of their pledge to their friends, who, in their turn, repeated it to others. Little silver cros-es began to flash out, eometimeii upon breast brilliant with jewels, and sometimes against the squalid tatters of poverty on other bosoms. These wearers of the cross were organized in ten by tho original ten, who were named the Central council, and were the nucleu? about which the rest radiated. Soon the membership grew so large that ten was an insuflicieut number to comprise a circle, which sometimes contained fifty or a hundred. Today there are 123,000 members, and the end is not yet. As we have paid, the special sphere of the sisterhood U tho doing constant and numberless little acts of kinduess and good-will. The "King'a Daughters" represent embodied sunshine. God bless the order of willing hands and eager feet the hands constructed to help, and the lect speeding upon errands of sympathy! It seems strange that it should be necessary in this last decade of tho nineteenth century to introduce a bill into the legislature of Indiana that any man proved to have whipped his wife shall himself receive e irty lashes, and that the public shall be admitted into the jail-yard to see tho brute .logged. 'Tis well that tho wife-beater should not enjoy a n -nopoly though. In an excellent paper on "Dante as a Moral Teacher," Caroline K. Sherman eays: An essential requisite of every great work of art is that it ehall not only portray what is individual and characteristic ot a certain time and place, but it must also transcend all three of these limitations and represent that which ia not the exclusive trait of any individual, butof a class; that which does not belong alone to a particular time and place, but, with certain modifications, is characteristic of all times and places. It is exactly this feature of the "Divine Comedy" which constitutes its real greatness, for the vision of Dilute is not simply hell, purgatory and heaven as the church portrayed them in the fourteenth century, it is the hell, purgatory and heaven which every man feels in his own heart. An important feature of Dante's "Inferno" is its graduated character. The protstant hell, unlike the catholic, was not differentiated. The soul that sinned most was on a par with the soul that Binned least. In this there was an obvious unfairness which tended to subvert rather than to promote morality. In a general way Dante divides his "Inferno" into three distinct parts, distinguishing between sins of sense, bins of intellect and,of will. Sins of sense are least offensive because more instinctive, less the result of premeditation. They are lighter, too, in ti.eir effect upon society. Sina of intelligence take a middle place becauso they are partly involuntary, partly the result of choice. Fins cf "the will, that is sins committed with malicious intention, are worst of ail, being more Injurious to the individual and also to society. Another important feature of Dante's "Inferno" is thecorrespondence of thepunishment to the nature of the offense. In eacli round of the "Inferno" the peculiar punishment is the natural outcome of the pecu iar bin. In other words, each sinner creates his environment. The misers and pendthriitj are alike condemned. Each puffers the same doom, being compelled to roll great weights against each otner.with mutual upbraiding. Dante is true to nature in punishing gloom, which has too often been regarded as a Tirtue instead of a sin. He places the gloomy in the Hygian lake. "Once the-' were "sad in the sweet air made gladsome by the sun ; now in murky sett'iog they ere sad." Who- , ever cherishes a gloomy spirit will soon find himself shutout from all sunlight. 'ature," says Emerson, "always wears

I the color of the spirit."

A horrible murder was committed a few miles east of here about 1 o'clock this morning, the parties all being colored.

After he had gone Mrs. Bass went out of the house and remained for some time, and came back into the house, remaining a short time, when ehe again went out and in a short time came running into the house, screaming and bleeding from a cut in the throat. Her co jsin ran out to give the alarm, and Boswell forced the door open, rushed in and cut her throat from ear to ear. He also cut her in the fide and other part3 of the body, killing her instantly. He then went to where ho lived, near by, hitched up his horse and bu'gy, and left. He is a very dark man, about twenty six years old. The buggy was drawn by a bay horse. Sheriff Fletcher of this city and a posse of officers are scouring the country with all vigilance, but at a late hour tonight there is no clew. Officers in the adjoining counties have been notified and his escape will bo almost impossible. Jealousy is the supposed cause.

So Fho went and came unto the man of God to ML Canned. And it came to pass, when the man of Ciod caw her afar off, that he 8nid to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite. 23. Bun now, I pray thec, to meet her, and eay unto her. J it w-11 with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And tshe answered. It is well. 27. And w ht?n the came to the man of God to the hill ehe (b) caught him by tho feet; but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said. Let her alone, for her ooul i vexed within her, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. 2S. Then pIio said.lid I desire a pon of my Lord? Bid 1 not'eay, do not deceive me? '". Then he said to Gehazi, gird up thy loins and take mine ptalf in thin? band and go thy way; if thou meet any man palute him not, and if any eahite theo answer him not azain. and lay my ttalf upon the face of the chi d. o'. And the mother of the child sai l, as the Lord liveth ai d as thy toul liveth, I will not loave thee. And he arose and foliowcd her. 31. And Gehazi pneed on before them, and lail the staff upon the face of the chi:d; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he (c) went gain to meet him. and told him, baying, the child is not awaked. 32. And when E ifha was come into tho house, behold, the child was dead and laid upon his bid. 33. lie went in therefore, snd shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the Lord. 31. Anil he went un, an 1 lay upon tho child, and put his moutli upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eye?, and his hands upon his hands; and he stretched himpelf upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm. 35. Then he returned and walked in the houea ((f) to and fro; and went up, nnd stretched himself upon him, and tbe child uneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. 3'i. And he called Gehazi, and said, call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when ehe was came in unto him. he said, take up thy eon. 37. Then ehe went in and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the pround, and took up her 6on, and went out. Revlaetl Voraton. (a) the. Uj) cautrhl hold of his feet. tc) returned. (J) once to and fro. Notes and C 'lumetitary. Time. Between 800-SS4 B. C. Place. Shunem, no Solam, three miles and a half north of Jezreel, and seventeen from Mt. Carmel, where Llisha was at this time, probably holding meetings for instruction and worship. The j ; lac waa probably where El'jah had his victory over the prophets of JJaal. Kulers. Jehoram, 6on of Ahab, king of Israel ; Jehoshaphat, or his son Jehoram, kingof Judah. Kiihha. He made his home at Sumaria (II Kins, ii,23, etc.), but he made circuits or tours over the country, "rousing and instructing the people." TheShunammne. The wife of a wealthy inhabitant of Shuntn entertained Elisha, as he frequently passed through her town in the course ot his labors. She persuaded her husband to build him a littl. room upon the house, and furnish it for his upo. She was intel.igent, wic, religious, hospitable, benevolent, Alfa reward God gave her a son. One morning, w hen he waa old enough, he went into the fields to his father, waa smitten With a sunstroke and died at noon. His mother laid him ia the prophet's chamber. Helps Over Hard l'laces. (25) So she went: From Shuuem to Carmel, twentyseven milt s. (2i) Is it well? Is it peace? And she answered with one word, 'Teace," the common palntation. It meant, "AH right, never you mind." (2S) Did I desire a son? Did I ask you for the gift? Why then does God take back hisfrt-e gift? (2$) Take my staff: the symbol of the prophet, making the bearer his representative, as a king's eeal or sceptre makes the bearer the King's representative. Salute him not: the Oriental salutations were long, and there was no ti ne now to stop for them. (30) And he arose: Llisha sent Gehazi, probably because he was engaged in religious services; but he yields to the mother's preserving prayer. (31.) The chiid is not awaked; the stall in Gehazi's was of no avail. He was a bad man. It is probable that Elisha sent Gehazi with the expectation that the child would be restored. But when he set out himself, there was no reason for Gehazi'a success. It would be better for all lor the prophet himself to aecomp is!i his work. (33.) And prayed: God's best pi fts come through prayer. (34.) He lay upon tho child; he used tho befit means possible, but of no avail in itelf. The personal contact of a living' spiriiual heart and life brings spiritual life to others. A Story of Faith. Just before the account of the Shun.imn.ite is another story of a widow's faith. She was poor, in debt, and liable to be sold into slavery with hereon. Elisha bade the woman borrow empty vessels from her neigh t-ors, and bringing them into her house, with closed doors, to pour out from her own j-r of oil till every dish and jar wag full. The oil ehe was to sell and pay hr debt. This method of aid "was a test of her iaith, and an aid to more faith. The aid was given in such a way a3 to benefit her and her son in character and spiritual life. The number of the vessels she borrowed would ba the measure of her faith in the prophet's woui, and in the God ho perved. Ab e;ich vessel wasLroucht homo bv her sons, the question would arise aa to whether they should go after n ore. The ltesulta According to Her Faith Every vessel she borrowed was filled with the miraculous oil. Then tlie flow stopped. She put her own limit to the amount phe received. So it is with us, ever according to our faith as shown by our works. God loves to give. He has measureless spiritual and temporal blessings for the world, for the church, for each indhidual, waiting for their faithful asking and their fitness to receive. The Shunammit showed her faith fl) By setiing out immediately to find tha prophet (2) By doin it contrary to eurrounding influence s. (3) By a lonr journey. (4) By her earnest appeal, (dj By perseverance till she succeeded. Elisha showed his faith (1) By trusting tiod. even when he knew not God's will. (2) Bv his sympathy and kindness. (3) By sending his shirt' by Gehazi, so that one duty might not interfere with another. (4) By going with the Shunammite to the houia of sorrow. (5) By his earnest prayer joined w ith works. An still what iairac!es of grace are wrought, In tuanr a lovrlr chamber wlih tti'it dxir, Wlicre tiod, 'ir Father, la ie aecret sought Aod altowa illm eif in merer more anj more!
