Some years ago Talmage went to Chicago to deliver a lecture, the proceeds to go to benefit a church denomination there, at the time in poor circumstances financially. A hevey storm came up—and the attendance was meager ami the prospect a financial failure, so much so that the society came out in debt. Talmage, however, charged one hundred dollars for his services, and nothing short of that amount would answer. Now Talmage asks the world for donations to rebuild his church recently destroyed by fire. Give to the poor—but never a cent to such people as Talmage.—Walkerton Independent. Yes, and you might very justly have added, give to assist all Christian work, excepting that savoring of Talmage’s depth of Christianity. There was an insurance of $150,000 on building and contents. Mr. Talmage thinks this sum not enough to rebuild, and he accordingly calls upon the world for SIOO,OOO more, with which to build a building that would be a credt to the city and to God. It occurs to an ordinary mind that God would be very well satisfied with a building costing $150,000, and that Mr. Talmage wants the additional sum asked for to add so much more to the glory of Talmage and the world. The idea of calling upon the world to add to such a sum as this church organization now has, when such a large portion of the world is appealing with aching hearts for just the privilege of learning the truth; when thousands of souls are going down to death and hell for want of gospel light; when hundreds of earnest Christians who have as much talent as Mr. Talmage, are wearing their lives out on mere pittances, because the world can’t or won’t supply them with more; and when the amount of money asked for might be instrumental in bringing the light of the truth unto and saving an inestimably greater number of souls than if invested in the Talmage tabernacle, the idea seems to ns preposterous and unchristian in the extreme. And then, dear reader, if yon have a dollar to give to the Chirstian cause, you would rather place it in the hands of an earnest Christian, meekly doing God's will as he understands it, than you would in the hands of a man whose • life is spent more for his own advancement than for the interests of God. Mr. Talmage makes enough in five years, over and above his needs, to supply the amount called for, if it was God for whom he was working, to say nothing of the millions possessed by his congregation. The tabernacle burned Saturday night or Sunday morning, and the dispatches said Mr. Talmage called the boards of his church together that night to devise ways and means of rebuilding. It is just as much of a sin to build a church on Sunday as it is to build a pig-sty or a barn. When Mr. Talmage lectured at Maxinkuekee last summer, it was said that he had a special train bring him to Plymouth, Sunday evening, in time to make the west-bound express train, which he took for Chicago, and yet he preaches on keeping the Sabbath day ho'v, and calls himself a servant of God. Give to the Christian cause and give freely, and it will do you good, but see to it that it is a Christian cause.— Plymouth Republican. The above from the Republican is just exactly what we wanted to say but couldn’t think of it. We’ll pop it to the next fellow that bobs up like Talmage. The officials relieve the monotony in the Cronin case now and then by catching a Tascott or two occasionally. The Chicago Herald came out last Sunday morning with a long editorial instructing ministers how to preach! Think of that! The Chicago Herald! The Macy Monitor sympathizes muchly with the Independent and admonishes us to shut off the religious discussion now in progress in this paper. Thinks that we have driven about half of our population into the great huckleberry swamp by permitting a religious argument to monopolize our columns. Now, we’ll give the Monitor a pointer that we don’t claim to be a whole Young Men’s Christian Association ourself, but we do rather like Doctor Richmond’s religious articles which have been appearing in the Independent of late. Not only are we pleased with them, but hosts of our readers (those who have the depth to comprehend them) express themselves as being highly edilied by , carefully reading the Doctor s produc- I tions. Doctor Richmond, Brother Ln- I vart, was one of the most eminent divines of your own county, in an early , day. Many lengthy sermons, preached by" Doctor Richmond, were published complete in your Miami county papers, in the di n vista of the past.

The Nature of Man. NUMBER TEN. The leading protestant churches— Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, and others, calling themselves “Orthodox” [n misnomer] hold to the same hell of I unending torment, into which the unre- | pentant sinner is cast immediately lifter 1 he dies, and from which he can never escape or experience the least allevia- ■ tion of his suffering. Mr. Benson D. D., a standard writer, . of the Methodist church, speaking of rebels in hell, says:— “Uis [God’s] powerful presence and operation maintains their being and renders all their powers more acutely sensible; thus setting the keenest edge upon their pain and making it cut most intolerably deep. Ho will exert all his divine attributes to make them as wretched as the capacity of their being will admit.” After this the Doctor proceeds to illustrate and impress the duration of this work of God, calling to his aid the drops of water, and the sand, making each count a million of ages and so on eternally! Now, lias this orthodox hell ever been repudiated ? It has not been, by the churches above named. The best thing we can say of it, is, it is utterly false—a HUMBUG. It is true that God will punish transgressors but not in the hell described by Dr. Benson and endorsed by the orthodox. The conception and description of the punishment above portrayed is so fearfully hideous, and so dishonoring to a God of love and justice that we can scarcely find a better word to characterize it than blasphemy. We will now open the scriptures and listen towhat God says. He told our progenitors, Gen. ii., 17: “In the day thou eatest thereof thou shall surely did.” But now comes Satan, that “old serpent” (Rev. xii., 2), and gives God the lie by saying to them “Ye shall not surely die”—and this lie of the Devil is the first utterance of immortal soulism on record. Alas, that it should find advocatesand preachers, amid the blazing light of our times. The immortality of man’s spirit or soul is absolutely essential to the life of orthodoxy. Hence it is boldly assumed that the spirit of man, is the man himself! that man is not material—is not visible —does not die —does not go into the grave —goes to heaven or hell at death. Now, these assumptions are the foundation on which orthodoxy rests—the orthodox hell included of course; but how different this from the teachings of the divine Word. That Word tells us that man is made of dust and returns to dust. See Gen. ii., 7,a150, Gen. iii., 19. And the whole tenor of Bible doctrine is in perfect harmony with these texts—man is “mortal” and when he dies he “sleeps” in sheol (grave) till the resurrection, and then comes forth and is judged according to his works. All men, good or bad, go into tin' grave, a state of death and are unconscious till the resurrection. John v., 28,29: “An hour is coming in which all that are in the grave shall hear the voice of the Son of Man and shall come forth; they that have done good unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil unto the resurrection of damnation.” Dan. xii., 2: “Many that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake; some to everlasting life; some to shame and everlasting contempt.” In Rev. xxii., 12, the Lord Jesus says he comes “to give to every man, as his work shall be.” Our Lord taught that those who obeyed him should be rewarded “at the resurrection of the just.” Ho also said “no man hath ascended into heaven,” which could not be true on the orthodox theory of going there at death, —therefore, that theory is not true. I. Cor. xv., 18: “Then [if the dead rise not] they also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.” This is true, and orthodoxy that says the veritable man, is alive without a resurrection, is not true. But how as to the ungodly? Dan. xii: “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [to be felt by themselves] and everlasting contempt" [to be felt by others.—The traitor Arnold has the contempt of all true American patriots.] 11. Pet. ii., 9: “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.” In my next I will show what is the Bible hell. C. M. Richmond. “Mrs. Studebaker was severely burned while rescuing her grandchild, and we feel sorry for her, but we cannot waste any sympathy on Mr. Studebaker as he is rich and can afford the loss.” —Mendon Globe. The paper in which the above excerpt appeared is published by an exRepublican and Greenbacker named D. M. Eveland, at Mendon, Mich. He was once upon a time publisher of a paper in this county. The Globe enjoys the unenvied and unenviable “distinction” of being the only paper in the United States to publicly proclaim its inability to sympathize with a fellowman in the destruction of his cherished home. Comment on such heartlessness is wholly unnecessary.—South Bend i Times. We sold him the paper to which you refer. He never paid for it, and, seemingly, made no effort to do so. A heavy sacrifice was made in disposing of the obligations, and the party to whom the paper was sold was obliged to take the office.
