The man whose birth shook this age of oursinto a new era; whose crucifixion shook the whole earth, and yet men are so foolish and simple as to say, 1 nover thought any thing about {t.” There is hardly an island in the Pa cific but from whose summit rises a church spire. There is hardly anyone who expresses his honest convictions, but what will say that he thinks of Jesus, But let us confine oursclves to those who think themselves christians, They of course think of it a great doal; they wor ship and believe in him, Every man has an fdeal picture of christianity in his own mind One man thinks one way, and another another way, There are ten thousand ditferont waye which they think. Wo di- vide the il into different classes accord Ing to the way in which they think of course, Theit opinions in & great man ner control their actions, The first which 1 mention will be the historic idea, This idea has to do with the history—with tho facts of his life, They beliove thero was such a man lived, and that he went out doing good, and performed miracles and all these things. They will study about him, they love to study the geography of tho country in which ho resided. They worship the facts connected with his life, Some go and seo the land where he lived, and take pleasure in finding out all they can concerning him, but they stop thero. This is all their religion.

Pelton, of Omaha, Puts This Question to a Councit Blufts Audience, At the Congregational church, yester day morning Rev. Geo. S. Pelton, of Omaha, addressed the congregation, choosing for his text. part of the forty- second verse in the twenty-second chap- ter of the gospel according to St. Mat- thew, ‘‘What think ye of Christ!” He said: Sir Walter Scott in one of his roman- ces has this picture: An old gray-haired man, whose shoulders are bent with the weight of many years, lics down prone upon his face in the midst of an old Scot- tish graveyard, and is there busily deci- phering the inscriptions upon the old, moss-covered tombstones of the grave- yard, graven by hands which long ago mouldered into dust. At the same time the busy feet of men, women and child- ren are hurrying hither and thither, in- tent only on the work which gives thewn their bread; he intent on deciphering the old worn out {nscription he wants to find and they intent on finding their bread and butter. Why it is no more than living to study the life of some other great man, It does mot help the soul a bit. So then having this idea is not enough for our rouls, Let us take a step higher and consider an idea which I think has a good many votaries. Men are influenced by it over- much. That is the idea of creeds and dogmas. It is well enough to have a creed but no dogma ever saved a a christian soul. Creeds have had their influence on christianity, but simply a creed never saved a soul. Those who ave influenced by this idea are splendid men and women. But it is far from being the only essen- tlal to salvation, It is none whatever. I am finding no fault with it only this. We want to know what to believe and the bible teaches. But, oy dear friends, do not make this mistako, If you be- lieve 80 and s0, do not becomo possessed of the idea that you have to trust to that to save your soul. My objections are not principally to creeds and dogmas, but to depending upon them to save our souls. I pass on now to the third idea which cauncs those who are possessed of it to attach to Christ,all that is unusual,unnat- ural and wonderful. They ascribe to him qualities that are found in reading French novels, describing some one who never lived. It comes from a heart that loves to array everything with fanciful and poetical ideas. They think it is something like going to hoaven rn fl ery beds of ease, as the poet expres: “‘What think ye of Christ! is a living vital, ringing, important question. We have no right to consider these questions a thing of the past. We have no right to say that this question has already been answered. Itis never answered till we each and every one of us answer it in our own souls, Suppose we should go out to-morrow morning in this city of Councll Bluffs, and ask the first man we meet on the street, what he thinks of Christ? He would call for a policeman and have the interrogator arrested, taking him to be areligious crank, and considering his own life In danger while he was in crank’s power, We have our minds made up to every- thing else. We know whom we will vote for. We know what we think of the political aspect. We have our minds made up as_to our social and business relations, We have our minds made up a8 to what church we shall attend, or what minister we shall support. But very fow of us have our minds made up a8 to what we think of Christ. Some will say, “I never thought anything about it, and care nothing about it. I cannot #ee that it helps me in my busi ness, 80 1 care nothing at all about it.” Now let us look for a moment and see how absurd it is for any man or woman to take that position. "We cannot go any- where, in any town, village or country, but where you will find something that will suggest to your mind, if you are thoughtful, something that will suggest Jesus Chriat, Go into your oflice to-mor- row morning and sit down to write a let ter. The first thing you write is *‘Coun cil Bluffs, September 20th, 1884, Why do you auy, **18847" Why is it that our letter-heads all read this way instead of 885, or something e know all this, but it is not enough. It will not save our souls, That is the point. It does not touch the soul, 1t does not reach the heart. It is all in the head. It seems to me that the preacher of the gospel to-day stands right in the path way of this busy many going to work and s constantly bringing up some of these old, old questions which once agitated the minds of men, and which ought now to be agitating the minds of men. Es- pecially the question. **Wnat think ye of Christ?" Now this is a leading question which can never die as long as men live. As long as souls need to be saved, this quesiion must como first and foremost into every man’s lifo and into every man's heart. Yeuand I areina hard, cold, and sinful world. It requires something more than an angel’s wing to fight azainit the flesh, and the devil. This idea is figurative, and will notdo. It is like a body that is all flesh and no skeleton. There must bo fighting and warring. Now I am not finding fault with thissen- timent, It comes from the imagination. 1t is not to be trusted to save us. A mother thinks that her little child is the sweotest babe that ever was brought into this world, The idea will hurt neither her, nor the child, yet it iswrong. Othera have children just as pretty, and just as good. There fore we cannot trust to this idea, The way to heaven is sometimes very rough, and with this delusion uppermost in our mind we will be unprepared to travel it. 1 do not find fault with the poet, historian or sectarian, but one thing more is required. With it you will have a perfect christian life. That idea is the grand ideal of Christ. Think to yourself, *I have not timo to be writing the history of Christ; I have not time to be writing out beauti- ful poetry and listening to beautiful mu- sic. But I must remember that the world was going to destruction, and that Jesus was its saviour, 1 have my work and must be up and doing.” I believe if you will take and put with- in the human character the love of Jesus Christ, you will seo that character struck with a glory that you have never witness- ed in it before. This makes a perfect christian character. It s a man’s think- ing that forms his character. Our posi- tion before God is according to the way we think, A manacts as he thinks, but suppose ho thinks wrong. (f he thinks wrong his character is wrong; and if his character is wrong, then his destiny is wrong. Be imbued with the love of Christ, and you will be working for him. Iffyou havea theological 1den, you will work that way; but bo imbued with a right opinion of Christ, and you will be work- ing overy way. Bo an earnest hard working christian, Do not make any mistakes, God comes to you und says “‘Come, follow me.” Then you must go if you value your soul., Go regardlass of what this friend says, or what any one saya. Leave all and go to Christ. ol low him. Think concerning him, We shall be with him by and by. What think ye of Chrift is the ques- tion now. But by and by whon Christ shall come with healing in his wings, you and | will know the question to be “What will Christ think of us?” *‘He that is ashamed of me, of him will I be ashamed.” Our opinion of Christ now shall decide for us what his opinion of us will be the end. And oh! May this my glory be, That Christ 1s not ashamed of me. S Summer gloves and gauze underwear at cost to close out stock. J. J, Auwer- da & Co.,(317 Broadway. BAGGED A BURGLAR.

SHEEKING A STER, Rawson's Gulch Dotermined to Down Rocky Bar on Salvation if It's in the Fins, St. Paul Herald, The other day a St. Paul minister an- swered a ring at his door bell, and found thoro a brawny frontiersman wonring n buckskin suit and a white Mexican som- brero. He was invited into the study, and, after seating himself, said: ““Pardner, I'm tryin’ to caso up a sky pilot ta Iadle out the savin’ grace to the boys in Rawson’s Gulch, Montany, The barkeeper down to the Merchants’ hotel told mo that you slung tho heaftiest jaw in the holy line in St. Paul, an’ I thought 1'd drop in an’ size you up.” “If I understand you, sir, you desire to secure a pastor for your church out here.” “That's our liitlo game exactly, pard, and tho boys constitootod me an execu- tive committeo to come 'yar an’ run ono down. We want the best heavenly mouthpieco in the country, an’' we've sot the dust to pay fur ‘im.” ““Who was your last pastor?” asked the mininter, “Nover had one. You see, the boys out thar’ never stood in much on the re- ligion racket, but we're agoin’ to bank big on savin’ grace in future, an’ play ‘er clerup to the limit. Glad tidin's o great joy's the winnin’ card at Rawson's from now henceforth an’ forevermore, pardner, an’ don’t you forgit it!” ““You say you never had o minister! What, then, has caused this sudden awakening—this new desiro for light?” LIl tell you, pard; It's just 1 ike this. Ther's a big rivalry atween Rawson's Guleh and Rocky Bar, about five miles furder up the creek. The two camps have been fighting for the lead for a year, and we'vo elways downed thom on every pint. Las’ weok one of the boys went up thar’ and cum back and reported that them Rocky fellers had a prescher an’ that salvation war a runnin’ loose in the camp an’ amazin grace war growin’ on the bushes. Hesald ho heard the holy bloke preachify 'imself an’ that he dished up the livin’ word like ten times winner, Well, that sort o paralyzed us 80 to speak, an’we calla meetin’ to see what war to be done. At fust 1t war clean out the congregation an’ hang tho vreachor, but we wan't quite sure of tho fightin’ qualitios of the meok and lowly worshippers up thar an’ mout gt licked, So it war finally dacided to tree a gospel sharp, an’ that’s w'at 1'm here for now.

St, John died 1800 years ago, and I guess he's got other business on hand besides runving for president. The truth is, my friond, you are one of those religious cranks, and you are drunk besides. I want you to quit talking that way in my store when there are ladies in it."” You can't browbeat and insult me, and before the admirer of St. John knew it he was out in the street. The clerk wiped the perspiration from hss brow aud resumed his position be- hind the counter, remarking: ‘I wonder if some other darned fool living out on Onion ereek won't come in before night and want a photograph of Judas Iscariot, or Moses in the burning bushes, or some of those other Old Testament duffers,” —— Why suffer the tortures of biliousness when Hood’s Sareaparilla will give you sure relief/ Sold by all druggists. 100 Doses One Dollar, B Haltimoreans Mourning, BALione 7.—A meeting of the held today Imu« action in regard to the death of the | late John W, Gurrett, the city conncil cominiites was aj cygret at his death, abiend the fan e by o and flour exchar 0w A special meeting of held at noon, when a ed to report vosolutions The outire body will ral to morrow, wi proposed to goup thar’ of a Sundry an’|-= 1 THE CHEAPEST PLACE IN OMAHA T0 BUY R TE One of the Best and largest Stocks in the United States to_select from.
