COUNCIL BLUFFS ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS, Oauses of Infidelity in the Christian Church, At the Episcopal church yesterday Rav. T. J. Mackay preached from the follow- ing text: “For God a0 loved the world that he gave His only begotien son that whoso- ever belioveth in him shculd not perish, but have everlasting life " Thero is n great deal of confusion of thougnt in Christian pulpits and among professing Christians in regard t> the subject of falth and works, or “‘Belief and the Life.” Thoueanda of sincere people are detor- red from entering the church and taking upon themselves the vows of a Chtlstian, bosause of their inability to recoive the teachings of the pulpits on this subjest. They sro assured in the most solemn language that ‘‘condemnation is based upon unbelieving, and not slmply on sin. ’ “You may find & man” (it is eaid) *'who is to all appeatances respectable, moral, upright, full of integrity, and worthy of admirati-n. However, if he is an unbe lisvor in the Son of God, that msn is eondomned equslly with the man that lios in the gutter— equally with the man who oppores Ged in overy act of his mind, budy and soul " Now, there isa clear propoasition co- talned in there words to tae effect that accoptancs with God d pands move, in fact alt ge'hor, upon the operation of & mind rather than upon the action of a Iife. A man may be moral, upright, full of integrity, and worthy of admiration, a perfect man, and yet becnuse cf his fail- ure to grasp intsllectually a great Chris- tian doctrine, his upriglitness, morali'y and integrity count for nothing in the alght and judgment of God, in whose sight he is condemned equally with the man who, because of his wickedness lies in the gutter, and who opposes God by a life of depravity so extreme that it controls him in every act of his soul, and mind, snd body. Nothing could be plainer than the meaning of these words, The question is, are thoy true? Is this the judgment of God, or the invention of man? If the former, we have no appeal. If such is the verdict of ths Almighty God, our only course is to bow before the aw- ful mystery, the unsolvable problem that 1s placod before us, and confess that God works lu & mystericns way His wonders to perform; that His ways are not our ways, nor His thoughts our thoughts; and our poor human judgments utterly at fault in the most serious affalrs of llfe—not only man's affalrs ln this life, but his eternal interests in tho life to come, If such be the judgments of God we should have no ditficulty in ascertaining the fact in the book of the revelation of His will to men. To the law, and to the testimony then, for its support and con- tradlotion. In the Old Testament we are faught that sin came into the world by an act of disobediance; that the cause of the flood was the wickedness of men who lived upon ths earth; and that all the punish- ments afflicted upon individuals or upen nations, was tho result of the violation of God's law—no? because of unbelief, Wo are taught to see this truth in the lives of the patriarcis, the judges, tho prophets, the kings and ths common people of the Jewlsh nation. Men rose and fell, and their nations flourlshed or decreased in proportion as they obeyed these laws of God or disregarded them. God proclalms himself to bs a righteous judge visiting the sins of the wicked upon their heads, and protecting the innocent. ““Behold, all souls are mine; the eozl that sinneth, itshall die.” ¥zek. 184 That sinneth—wlithout one word about belleving. Shall not the judge of ail the earth do right is the one prevailing thought under- lying the conceptions of God, in the minds of the writersof the cld testament. In contradistinction to the unjustmess of the creature man, is ever made to appear the inflaxible justics to God. *‘He hath showed the, O man, what i3 good; and what doth the Loxd require of thee but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.”—Micah, vi 8, In thought and word the opinion of these old testament worthies is that the Lord will render to every man according to his deeds, and according to his up- rightnees and the cleanliness of his hands. Must we change this conception when we come to the new testament? Is It a new and deistical revelation, rather than fulfilling of the old? What Is its de- wign and charactor? Does God cease to be tha righteons Judge and demand as the requisite for salvation not a life of actlve righteous- ness but an int:llectual agsent 1o certain dogmas and modes of thought? If the old theology is correct, this is the natural inference, Bat is it correot? Has it authority to u'ter such declarations as those quoted tor you in the beginning of these remarks? Lot us see. The passages in the new testament which declares that salvation depends upon & righteous belicf scom meny and lein, ‘*He that belicveth and is aptizod shall be saved.” ‘‘Bilieve on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” He that believeth on me hath everlasting life,” By him every one that bilieveth s justified from all things.” = “He that belioveth not is indged already. Or take the text which stands at the head of the sermon I have quoted from. Where in that text can wo draw such teachipg as that **Condemnation is based on unbel ev.ng, and not s mply on sin?” or that “A man who is pure and upright, but not a bel'ever in the Son of Gud, s condemped equally with the man who opposcs God in every act of his mind, body snd soul.” Kead Joo. 111, verses 16 to 22 inc'us- fve. The 16th verss is the key nots of the whole grand gospel messige. The love of God for sinful man—then fo'lo the verse declaring that God sent His Son Into the world not to judge the world, but that ths world through Him might be saved, He that believeth on Him is not judged. He tha’ believell not has been juoged alreaty, because he hath mot believed on the name of the only begot'en Son of God. And this Is the judgment; That the light | § has come into the world, and the men love the darkness rather than the light Why? Beocause their deeds are evil,” 8¢ that bellef in the Lord Jesus Christ is shown by the comingto the 1 ght, and the proof of this coming to the light is de- olared to be the forsaking of that which is evil. Belief In the 8 of God in this' paseage is evidently equivalent to foreak- ing evil and doing yool--loving the light rother than the darkness. Agaln ln verse 46 of the samo chapter, wesee that obed- ienca is the evidence of belie/ in the Son of God, Where is the authority for 1he asser tion that “‘condemnation is based on un- belieying and not simply on sinf’ Why 1t is ovideat from text and con‘ext, tha' +in and unbelief, as well as goodness and belisf, are used as synonymous tarme, The forssking of evil Is the evidenc: L M —— 05 oelief the evidence of a is shown in the saging of Christ, “‘Not every one thst saith unto me, Lord, Lord,” (that is, seknowledge mo as such) “‘shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father which 18 in heaven.” The worth of such a_belief {s also shown by St. James. ‘“‘Thou believest that God is one—thou doest well—the devils aleo believe and tremble.” But their belief and trembling does not traua. form them into angels of light any more than the blasphemous expressions of perfect belisf In Jews Ohrist as thelr Savior uttered by vile wrate'ies on the gallows In obedience to such teachings as I have quoted, make these wretches fit inbabitants of a heaven whose very atmosphero would scorch thetr foul natures in the blaz!ng light of its purity and sinless perfection, 1 look in vain through the new testament for any authcority to change the conception of God as a righteous judge—ns one loving righteourness and hating infquity, and giviag to every man according to his works, But how can God be eaid to bs just, and yet make no dlstinction between the just and perfect man and the man op- poeed to him in every act of his body, soul and mind? Between the man who walks erect and free—living a life of conscious integrity-~and the vile wretch whose natural home is the gutter and the prison? This putting a correct belisf before life and charactor is putting a premium on bypocelsy, It is judging tho fralt by the tree instead of the tres by the fruit. It is destroying the ides of personal ac- countability to Aimighty God, which Daniel Webater declared to be the greatest thought that had ever occupied his mind, Trae bellef is a mortal act—a direct acceptance of God's truth in simple obedianco, It ls itself a holy life—nos the cause of that life. It is not an intellectual acceptance of the doctrine of the trinity or the atonement, Itiza following of God and Chriat, forsaking ovil, and choosing the good® Aund our duty is to recognize the presence of that wrue belief, wherever wo see ity presenca in a greater or less degree. The Christian doctrine is not an intel. lectual proposition as to which may and may not be received. Christian taith is not a faith which leads a man's head right, but his heart. A man may believe right and act wrong—or believe wrong and act right— but in these two cases there can no doubt exist as to which Jesus or the apostles would have called saving faith. The maun who fell among thieves was neglected by the priest and the Lovite whosc balief was all right, and succored by the Samaritan whose belief was wrong in their eyes. The one showed the worth of a head bellef, and the other of the ba- licf of the leart. The preaching of Christ, and the preaching of a holy life, were never separated. He did not preach doctrine and practice. His doctrine was practice. Sse Matt. xil, 31, A msn may believe all the doctrines of the Christian church and all the confes- sions of falth and yet be a moral leper in his heart and life, Would you see Panl's estimate of head bellef, see 1st Tim., 5.8, Here we find that a man who neglects his household datles is accounted worse than a men who denies the christian faith, This is the teaching of the inspired apostle. It is better for you to disbeliove the chris- tian faith intellectually than tobe a bad husband and bad father. I do not deny, mark you, the advan- tage of a true halief. It is jmportant, but not so essential as the belief Jof the heart, in the need of obsdience and love w0 God and man. iling vessel in mid-ocean struggles yagainst wind and wave, and makes but little headway, whilo there sails grandly past it a vessol without a sail, making rapid headway.

I guess the willin will go down stairs this morning.” The remonstrances of Ryndara had no effect on Austin’s appetits.” Macready's breakfast was disposed of without his aid. Rynders went to the office, and arrived there just in tlme to save the waiter from a whipping by explaining that Mr. Austin hed playsd alittle trick on Mr, Macready, The proprietor of: the hotel kvew both Rynders and Austin, and rather enjoyed the affair.

He's the kind of man that makes trouble if anybody goes to kick him. “A little fellow like that make trouble?” said Macready, incredulously. ‘“Yes, sir, a little fellow like that.

In another room he saw two cas- ke's, even moro magnificent, studded wi h rubies and diamonds, in which the hairs from the prophets beard are jeal- ously preservod. There are also several ourious iostruments mede of gold and thickly studded with gems on the back, which were used as portable “‘goratcbiag posts,”” Another room was hung with armor and sceptars; caskets and escritoires lay on the table, The old esoritoires are all shaped like a pistol; the inkstand is placed at the spct oc- cupied by the trigger, and the reeds and n ponknife are in the barrel.

Germany is growing fasta pre-omin- ently industrial country, for which the export of its productions 1s the condition of providing the population with food and raw materlals, and at the same time her population is increasing more rapidly than that of any other country. ~ The average yearly Incsoass on 10,000 inbab- itante ginoe 1831 was in Fiance 26, in Great Britain 101, and in Germany 115, notwithstanding a large emigration. The population of the German empire in its present limits was Inround numbers 25,000,000 in 1816. Itis now 42,600, 000, while 3,500,000 have emigrated. This increase results almost exclusively from the excesy of births gover deaths, while the feeble growth of the French population is still partly due to imigra— tion, which proves that the increase of wealth is stronger than that of the people. In G.rmany Zit is the reverss, the amount of expenditure caused by the acceding numbers is not equaled by a correspondingly growing focome. In Prussia the number of thoss exemp’ from all direct taxes— that is, whose incoms did not exceed £25, had risen within five years by 1,600,000; it was more than 7,000,000 in 1882; thej statistics of other German statss show “a smilar result, the poor rates have increased everywhere in an a'arming proportion, and the number of vagranis and tramps have become a gen— eral plague. Our industrial produdtion suffers from chronic plethora, its nét pro- dace does not correspond to its immense expansion, still less is a real amelioration of the situation of the working classas to be discerned. The supply of labor gen- erally exceeds the demand; consequently wages donot rise, and the lower st of the population can absorb compara- tively little of the maes of products which are dally thrown upon the market, be- cause the scantiness of thelr earnings does not allow them to satisfy corres- pundingly thelr wani Bat in the higner classes als> all the callings arealso overcrowded, the increase of aca- demlcal students has been abnormaland far exceeding the demand, and a considera— ble part of this su plus of trained rorces, finding no employment, perishes or Isunches into adventures, = In short, verywhere we find an enhanced struggle for existence, which engenders di satis- ion and helplessness, and furnishes a democ acy with fr sh recpuits [ overpopulation which is the source® of helarge German emigration.

Every pound of flesh 50 lost is the taking off somuch life blood. 1t is weakening, opposed to all the laws of nature and consequently bad. n marked contrasts is the system of Ed— ward Hanlen, the oarsman: He has out— rowed overybody and his only training is the taking of walks, and the pullmg of his light boat. That is all he docs when preparing f r a mateh, and 1'll gua-antee that his muscles are as soft and pliant as those of any man in this building. That, in my opinion, is tha proper way, He does not work to reduce his flesh nor vio- late any of the laws of nature. On the contrary he follows nature’s rules. As you know he is the ablest oa-sman in the world, and nstead of be king h s health adds to and improvesit. “What do you think of the so-called ‘knock-out’ glove fights “Generally, T may say, as T told you before, when they app oach such a poin asto threaten injucy they should be stopped. But [ have seen nothing of that so't save in the case of Mitchell whom Sullivan fo ebore st iking when he could have done so and seriously injured him. Compire a base ball match when men their fingers and otherwise hurt clves, or mode n foot ball games with glove fights They are by far more wicked and vicious and the chances for ously injuring those engaged in the game far greater than in glove fights, 1 sce more reasons for stopping a base ball match or a foot ball game than Ido a glove fight, unless the contestants are about to seriously injure " At this juncture Sul n stepped into the rmg and stripped for their fight. The ex-senator eyed them with the earnestness of acritic for a few women's and thus commented: “Sulli- van is sn-re puffy than I ever saw him Ryan isin perfect trim. I be- lieve, a5 the two men stind to night, Ryan is in far better condition than Sulli- van, and for that reason will stand a very good chance with him.” Mr Conkling clocely watched the few seconds hard fighting, and seemed dis gusted when the police put a stop to it. e — All the poor of Naples wh) die ona certaln day are buried on the tame even- iog in a pit just outside of tho city, the innocent child being thrown in with the dead convict.
