SUNDAY THOUGHTS I

HON MORALS ' MANNERS IT X CTEBaYMA. A chief element of value in any sermon ties in its timeliness. Tho time to discuss b subject is when it U uppermost in tho public mind. The pulpit might well learn a lesson from the pres in this matter, which treats of current events. Juet now the Hebrew scriptures are being subjected to microscopic investigation. Astronomy is pitched from above and geology from below, while history and archieolosry Ere eubpcned from the ends of the earth to prove on the one hand and to disprove on the other hand the authenticity and credibility of the old testament canon. 'Tia timely, therefore, to preach from the old testament Let the preachers do this, prefacing their sermons with a brief but distinct avowal of their faith in whatever book the text is taken from. In this way variety would be gained, the most charming and idylic portions of holy writ would be explored, the lesson would be drawn from the hour and the word of God would be vindicated. That famous Scotch pulpiteer, Dr. Guthrie, once said that what most impressed liim when he looked over his congregation was the latent Christian power therein represented. This thought must frequently occur to every observer, and more overwhelmingly with reference to the church at large than in connection with dv one assembly. tVhat can be done with this latent power? How can it be evolved and adjusted? As it is, there lies so much waste force. Christianity is mighty in numbers, mighty in wealth, mighty in mHuence. and mightiest of all potentially. Its unused resources are enormous so vast that the fact that they remain unemployed suggests a doubt of the bloodxed earnestness of the church. Dr. Strong, in "Our Country," estimates the wealth in the hands of church members a decade ago at $3,723,400,000. Of this tremendous aggregate one-sixteenth Df 1 per cent, was given each year to conVert the world 1 out of $1,566. How much consecration does that show? Then here are the great questions of the day. temperance, party corruption, sociology; questions of commanding importance. Keligion needs to concern itself rritn them; but does it? Is not the jhnrch on these questions a house divided against itseli? If the latent power in Christianity were developed, America might be evangelized within a twelvemonth. Let earnestness become infectious. There should be a grippe-like epidemic of consecration. Wake up, ye that are at ease in Zion. Get out that latent power and make it work. Not long ago, in England, the Salvation army observed "self-denial week," which put $110,000 into the treasury. It would be a good thing if self-denial weeks should become popular in all our churches. Less money would be spent for drink and more for bread ; less for cigars and more for benevolence; less for selfishness and more tor the relief of man's estate. Here is the proposed sixteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States: "No state shall pass any law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or use its property or credit, or any money raised by taxation, or authorize either to bo used for the purpose of founding, maintaining or aiding by appropriation, payment for services, expenses or otherwise, any church, religious denomination or religious society, or any institution which is wholly or in part-under sectarian or ecclesiastical control." A multitude of the most prominent people in tho country, of all creeds and no creed, are pushing this amendment. The evangelist Matthew says (viii, 28) that there were two demoniac healed in the land of the Gergesenes and also (xx, SO) that two blind men were healed near Jericho, while Mark and Luke mention only one in each instance. Hence certain critics assume a contradiction. But surely without reason, for if there were two, certainly there was one. The only difference is that Mark and Luke mention the fiercer of the two demoniacs, saying nothing of the other, and that they mention by name the blind man, who was well known (Mark x, 4G), saying nothing of the one who was not. These are specimen case3 of the muchVaunted errancies of the scriptures. A contemporary epeaks of a paster who Announced a few weeks ago: "There will be service here tonight if it is cloudy ; it it is clear we will stay at home to see the eclipse." It was cloudy, and now the street boys call that church the church of the sacred eclipse, and sometimes the church of the holy disappointment. The recent census ia India gives prominence to the fact that the srreatest numerical growth of population in that land in the past decade has been among the native Chrihtians. The London Timet detotes a leader to this important result and Lays that the native Christians are found y the official returns to bo increasing at a rate unknown among any other cla.s fit a rate more than four times higher than the population of India as a whole. In accounting for this it says: "The native Christian community is, as ft rule, better looked after in childhood, better educated in youth, better treated in ickness, more promptly aided during scarcity and more cautiously disciplined through life." Why? we ask. And we answer: Because Christianity teaches the worth and dignity of the individual. A study of the comparative value of religions is both interesting and disillusionizing. Infidels find agnostics are fond of asserting that ttaddhim, Confucianism and Mohammedanism equal Christianity in some joints and surpass it in others.

noteworthy that while asserting this they are careful to remain in Christendom and never think of emigrating to India, China or Turkey.

Voltaire blasphemed God as much as Calvin blasphemed man. Peter McQ teen. Mankind like to join a popular craze.

Many churches nowadays make the dictactic yield to the theatric and turn divine eeiviee into entertainment rather than refinement... J. Ilnldeman. You will see the pools and standing waters frozen through the winter, while the little running streams are bounding on between fringes of ice. Why is this? Because the Btreams have something to do than stand still and be frozen up. Be you like them. Keep your heart warm by feeling for others and your powers active by work done in earnest. John Hall There is no magician so patent as success. Margaret E. Sangstrr. I have seen men who I though needed a whole conversion for each of their faculties. Their natures were so unmitigatedly wicked that it cost them mere effort to be decent than it would other men to be saints.. Ii". Beecher.

That which Top said to his master when he came into his garden and saw eo many weeds in it is applicable to the human heart.

Airy ghosts that work no harm do terrifv us more than men in Bteel. T. ', Aldrich. One of the great names in higher criticism is that of Kueneu, who died last December in Leyden. His theory was that the supernatural is a mere name stat nominis umbra. He set out to evaporate it out of the bible and out of nature. Thus he reduced the scriptures to a mere human level, on a par with JVop's fables. Ewald, Oort and Wellhausen belong to the same destructive school, as also do many of our American theologians perhaps without knowing it. Anyhow, their studies and conclusions tend in the same direction and end in the same quagmire of negation. They all rationalize spiritual things, which can only be discerned spiritually. They look for the same through a microscope, and try to weigh God in a Fairbanks scale. Better suit their means to their ends. Marriage is not a failure down in Alabama, if the history of two families in Blount county may be taken in evidence. In that county for the past ten years two families have resided nearench other, the one named Johnson and the other named Write (we write it Write but suspect that it is not right). Mr. and Mrs. Johneon had five pons. Mr. and Mrs. Write had five daughters. Friendly intercourse existed between them to such an extent that tin fast as the boys attained their majority they married oil' the girla, until a few weeks ago the last of the Johnsou lads was married to the last of the Write lassies. But this is not all. Shortly after the rirst marriage took place, Mrs. Johnson, mere, and Mr. Write, pore, died at about tho same time, and now Mr. Johnson, sr., and Mrs. Write, ditto, have followed the example of the youngsters and have joined hearts and hands. E piuribus unum. The London Tid-BiU recently offered a prize for the best definition of that boss of the household, yclept, the baby. It was awarded (the .prize, not tho baby) to Miss Nellie Braidwood of Girvan, Eng. who sent as her answer: A tiny feather from the wing of love dropped into the sacred lap of motherhood. Other good definitions were: The morning caller, the noonday crawler, the midnight brawler, the magic spell by which a hou.e is transformed into a home. The latest edition of humanity of which each couple think they possess the finest copy. A native of all countries who speaks the language of none. A thing we are expected to kiss and look as if we enjoyed it. The smallest thing God ever made and forgot to give wings to. An inhabitant of Lapland. In an age of intolerance, remarks a prominent rabbi, it is heroic to preach liberality, and it is proportionately helpful to the people at large. But when liberality is popular to preach it is neither heroic nor helpful. The characteristic of our age is skepticism. To be skeptical now is to float with the tide and to shout with the crowd. Hence the irreat need of the time calls for work in the opposite direction. We have been iconoclastic long enough. It is time we took up the trowel. What do the people need today? They need reverence. Reverence is a quality cf the fouL It does not depend upon cre-id. Some credulous folks who believe evarything may yet lack reverence. Others whose beliefs though pr ifound, are few, may be filled with reverence. But distrust these men and that literature that are Irreverent, We stand in the fireaence of perpetual mysteriös God, ife, the universe. These cannot be laughed and joked away; but reverence, the stan chest bulwark, of character may be. At a negro wedding the other day the bride, who was as black as coal, was dressed in pure white. The effect was ludicrous. She looked like a cockroach in a pan of milk. The Duchess Eugenie LittaBologuine of Milan is winning the admiration of all good women the world over. Becoming weary of the useleefntsa of her fashionable life, she has sold her dashing equipages, a good part of her valuable jewelry, her laces, fans and bric-a-brae in order "to secure the &M),000 reeded to build a hospital in her own city for little children.

POULTRY SHOW AWARDS.

LARGE NUMBERS OF PREMIUM WINNERS NAMED. Tb Exhibition FrotM to II tho OrkUil Tver Hold la the- West Sora of tho Noteworthy Exhibits An Incubator to 11 In Operation. The fifth annual exhibition of the Indiana state poultry association, assisted by tho Indiana pigeon and pet stock and tho Indiana ornithological associations, laet week at Tomlinson hall, has been a euccess, so far as the exhibition of poultry, pet stock and dogs is concerned. The Ehow of chickens and dogs compares well with all former exhibitions, while the show of cage birds and pigeons excels, in point of numbers and quality of exhibit, any exhibition ever held in the West In the poultry department, Secretary Lee eays the exhibit is short about five hundred entries where applications were made, on account of the prevalence of "grip" among poultry fanciers who have always made exhibit heretofore. In the üigeon department, II. C. Schrader's prize collection is one of the features that is especially attractive, and last evening the people flocked about this show during the entire evening. In the poultry department A. S. Bond of Fort Wayne, Ind., occupies sixty-six feet of coop space filled with light brahmas, and his collection of fowls Is a noteworthy addition to the exhibition. He carried off all the principal prizes on this variety of chickens. There is poultry from every section of tho country, making this show national in the character of its representation. Indiana breeders are not behind either, and the Hoosier collection equals those of any other state. The exhibit of pointers is probably the most noteworthy feature in the dog department. Councilman McGuffin won the association cash special for the best kennel in the ehow, with a Strinz of a half dozen beautiful animals. The "Best Champion" prize for dogs was won by Ed Shirk of Tipton with his fine Enelish mastiff, Rolla. A largo incubator of the Axford pattern containing: 150 eegs will commence hatching out chicks Saturday to the deiight of young America. The awards so far are as follows : POULTRY AWARDS.

Hale of Shelbyville read the minutes of tho lat annual gathering. The treasury was found to be in a favorable condition as a result of the Tomlineon hall exhibit. Ten new members were voted into full connection as poultry lovers. President Pace delivered a short entertaining address. He said the pooltry product waa greater than the hag product of the country. It cannot be monopolized and is the source of a consent income.

Tho charge made ut Indianapolis that Harrison himself made corrupt disbursement of campaign moneys ia lacking in specific proof. The author of the charge is anonymous. It is, however, definitely known in Chicago that liuseell Harrison was sent hither for the purpose of raising funds for the campaign in Indiana. He was unsuccessful. Ha was followed by Mr. Miller, Mr. Harrison's law partner, now attorney-gf neral. The representation was that Indiana was in danger, and the candidate himself realized that funds must be had. One of th first meu approached was Senator Ferwell, who declined to be a donor, a fact which prevented his subsequent recognition by the Harrison admin. 6tration. He saw no reason to subscribe, and recalled the promise made in the convention that with Harrison's nomination tho republicans of Indiana wou d b able to take care of themselves. Mr. Miller went further afield, and succeeded in raising $20,000 on tho very eve of election. The donors were four, and each gave $5,000. Three of them, as the Times knows positively, were: George M. Pullman..... $3,0' 0 Xorman B. Beam 5.000 .-ainuel W. Allerton fl.WO The other is believed to bo O. W. Potter. Mr. Pullman insisted on making his check payable directly to the order of Benjamin Harrison, and his voice was subsequently potent in determining the appointment of a collector for the port of Chicago. Mr. Cir.rk was Mr. Pullman's candidate. Mr. Farwell's candidate, Mr. Campbell, was ignored. AVhat did Mr. Harrbon do with this money? He put it into the campaign in Indiana, of course, for he had no purpose of playing a confidence operation on these men. But what are the particulars of its disbursement? The campaign was almost at its close. Was it invested in blocks of five? The truth will probably never be told. Ia Lack Cartnln. After trying to eell books, pictures and wringers, and nearly every contrivance imaginable, I became discouraged and thought there was no chance for a poor man to earn a living. There waa nothing to do on the farm and I could not get a job in town, when I happened to sea how a teacher made money felling platers, and I thought I would try my luck. I bought a five-dollar Lightning plater from II. F. l)elno& Co., Columbus, O., and from that day my luck seemed to change. I carried the plater from houso to house and plated knives, forkü and spoons right before the folks, and it is surprising how many want their things plated. I made $3.70 the firet day, and in ono week $23. I can plate with nickel, silver or gold. The work is lino, ray customers are pleased and I am happy. I hope some other feilow, who ia down on his luck, wiil see this and do aa I have done and get up in the world. "William Evans. Order The Sentinel's "Indiana Almanac for 18U2" of your newsdealer.

In 1S32 the Black Hawk war broke out, and Lincoln, then being, as he expressed it, "a piece of floating drütwood," eagerly accepted the opportunity it gave him for the employment uf his superabundant vitality. His enlistment was in tponse to a call from Governor Reynolds for 1,000 mounted mea to assist the United States troops against the Indians. The volunteers were ordered to assemble at Kushville, and to Lincoln's surprise when he arrived at that place, he found that he had been elected captain cf the company. He regarded the whole affair as a sort of picnic, and his opinion was so e.xpres-ed afterward in conpress when some doughty hero of that period was urging his claims to his country's gratitvde and rewards.

He was shortly after this made postmaster at New Salem, an J afterward entered into commercial life on his own account, opening a small store, in which enterprise he failed. His next employment was as assistant surveyor of Sangamon county under Mr. Calhoun, the Democratic incumbent, Lincoln himself being a Whig. At the time of his appointment he had no practical and very little theoretical knowledge of surveying. It had all to be afterward acquired, but, nothing daunted, he made the attempt, and, it is needless to say, succeeded. In the meantime Lincoln had been diligently reading law. The first book he read on this subject was the Statutes cf Indiana lent him by a friend named Turnham. In 1S34. he was elected to the State legislature, and thrice reelected ('36, '$S and '40), but declined to be atrain named for the ofhee. He was twice presented as 0 ... - . 1 . j r . 1 1

Mr. Lincoln continued the practice cf law with great success, till 1S45, when he was elected to congress. While in congress he made for himself a name as a clear-headed man of business and came prominently before that body in several speeches and debates. During this period of his life he was several times an elector on the Whig presidential ticket. 0 After his congressional term had expired he returned to his practice of law, and though mingling desultorily in politics, yet he does not appear actively before the peooie in a political capacity until 1854. In that year the Nebraska bill became an issue before the country, involving as it did the re
