Delivered on Sunday, Sept. 22, at the Congre-
.»      'gatiohal Church.
"" Subjeot:—Salvation in Chnst through
faith.
'■How shall a man be just with his
maker?" Job. 9,-2. This question is s_or
full o£ solemnity that I can think of it
only with fee!in_j.g of BQlemn awe. When
pverj* other question is settled this one
will continue reouring a«ain and again
and demand our consideration.
To its solution the awakened, penitent
soul turns with greater urgency and a
larger hope than to any other question
thrust inward upon the soul.
Tho soul that panteth after God, as the
hart panteth after the water brook, is
turned toward and eagtrly seeks that
satisfaction which can only bo received
from communion with the Great Giver of
all spiritual life.
Tho heart that has been touched, the
conscience that has been aroused to see
tho ineradicable distinction between right
and wrong, seeks after the law " of God
which embodies the elements of eternal
truth. This is natural—it is inefitable.
Go to that man who has been aroused
to a sense of his great soul's needs. Talk
to him about business, and he listens with
respectful attention, but his soul is stirred by deeper ancl more profoundly important interests. Talk to him of pleasure, of tho ambitions of life, of tho rich
prizes that are to come from the weari-
somness of labor; speak to him about tho
rich revala'tions of science, literature
with all its connected and inviting
themes, and he may hero you patiently.
But there comes back again all tho unrest and disquietitude until this mist
vital vuestion s settled: "How shall a
man be just witb God?"
There are tho materials of a mighty
avalanche in every man. Moral forces
work silently and sometimes exceedingly
slow. How much we need to have them
quickened, with some Of you here today, tho desire for a better life, a closer
or more intimate walk with God is very
faint and weak. "With others tha growing impulses are almost strong enough
to impell you to an immediate and decisive action. Thero ia a deep inward
conviction, that a soul untouched by
God's grace, is not right. There comes
the earnest pleading-) of the hidden man,
of the heart for submission to the authority of the Infinite One.
Tho cry comes again and again when
tho sense of sin settles down upon the
soul: "Who shall deliver me from the
body of this death?" And at last who:
God is seen in all the matchless power
and glory of His grace, the soul ex-
claim*?; "I yield! I yield! I can hold out
no more—I sink by dicing, love compelled, the conquorer won."
Man is a sinnor. This is the first great
truth of revalation in human history.
Ther> is a very imparative need that
wo listen to the voice of conscience, that
wo obey it's call to duty without dolay.
A student in college, conscious o£
growing indolenco in the matter of sleeping, bought an alarm clock and placed it
on a ntund near his bed. It aroused him
at the hour fixed for rising. He compromised by determining to yield one. half
hour, which ho intended to snatch from
slumber. He went to sleep and slumbered for ti whole hour. The next morning
tho call of the clock was but faintly heard,
and the next it was wholly lost. The expedient was a dism.,1 failure.
Just so when conscience is silenced and
outraged it goes to sleep. There is a
time when God's voice arouses the soul,
when his spirit stirs the heart, when his
truth burns in the soul, but if thes.. are
all hushed by the iordinate desire of the
soul for a little more sleep, a little more
slumber in the carnal pleasures of sin;
the time will come when thesoul will no
longer be moved and the . heart will no
longer be stirred by the spirit of God,
I can conceive of no greater oatastro-
phe coming 1.0 any .soul than this.
This is moral suicide., It is assassination of the very Mghest^form of life with
which God has endowed uS.\^
Suicide is a common crime in" our day.
This crime so fearful to con template i_*
only surpassed by that great crimft which,
men commit when they enter the domain
of their own being and strike down the
earnest pleadings of their own soulsy ths
intense desires ot their own hearts for a
better life and more congenial; atmps-
phero. The words of warning come ito
us again: "Quench not the Holy Spirit
whereby ye aresealedtlnto the day of reV
demption."
My friends I would he untrue to th&
work committed to me did I not so ad--'l]
monish you to beware of. the consequen-,;
cos of putt-fig to silence the voieo of con- -
science. 'Rather train yourself to listen .
to its faintest whisper.

not even the slightest respiration escape.'!

Did we as patiently and eagerly listen
to God. Did we as intensely look around
us for evidences of goodness and love.
The air would bo full of tho voices of
God and the earth would be written all
over witiro-iaracters declaring the richness und graeiousness of the Almighty.
Did ni«u ont obey the voice of conscience the world would be renovated
and pea«Q among men would everywhere
prevail.   *
Nothing else will over bring _ peace to
thjs world, Tbo work of righteousness
alono is pence and its offeots quietaess
and assurance, forever.
Yon may "or awhile suppress a clamoring conscionco bat sometime it will break
forth again. Dear brothers let it be your
supremo aim, by tho aid of Divine grace,
to execute* in life what the honest conscience tnay declare to be right between
God and yourself. Seek help from above
to en.abla.y--i'-. to declare to the foamings
of rsstlesij^asGion -as God declares to,
to tho angry swelling sea: "Hitherto
shalt thou tome but no further." And
hero shall thy proud waves be stayed?
Tho grace of Christ shall shut up your
desires, n3 hi-^ omnipotence has "shut up
the see with doors,'' There is an omnipotence pledged in the deliverance o£ every
man from sin and satin unto God.
Ahm! how many are called away from
tho do?p, earnest conviction of the soul
by the serene voice of pleasure, false ambition and susuality.

from tho Iwackdepth of his own tormented spirit, thus describes it in his "Child
Herold:" _______

The East Side Clerks Beat the WestSlde Clerks
In e Hotly Contested Game Tuesday,
It has come and gone, but tender rec-
colections sfcil linger with some of the
participants, as waa evident the day after
the event, hy the canes put in use by
some and the lame expression in the gait
of others. V e refer to the clerk's ball
game that occurred at the ball park
Tuesday a_t.rno~n before a magaifleant
crowd, there being nearly 100 people
present. Tho day started out rather
Cuul for the sport, but- as the crowd, began to assemble on the grounds, the atmosphere began to get.warm and before
the game was finished it was exceedingly
hot. The game waa full of incident and
surprises, san wiched with brilliant
"plays, and all in all was one of the most:
exciting, and hotly contested games witnessed by our citizens this season.
Although the west side clerks were
beaten by oue score, they feel confident,
with a great many ethers, that if they
were given a fair deal they could beat the
Orients hands down. An east side man
umpired the game and "thereby hangs a
tale." They take their defeat gracefully
and will try at a future time to gain back
the glory lost. The day's sport was ended with a banquet ait the Calkins and was
enjoyed by all.   following is the score;

A merchant whose trade was very dull
and who had heard wondrous tales regarding the manner in which business
could be boomed by certain methods of
-fitt-iaefeing-attention,; called advertisingj-
decided to try it, so on the morning -following that decision he arose early, and
before people were scarcely out Of their
beds, started through the, tpwn crying
out the merits of his wares at the -top of
his voice. Before long his throat began
to show the unusual strain, but he persevered during the . entire day. During
the night Ids-throat sWellfed • so- that he-
w&s unable to spaak or eat, and- he was.
forced to pay the doctor mueli money to
cure him.
When ie again did appear at the storo
it was with tho settled opinion that he
had listened to fairy tails as far as the
benefit of advertising was concerned.
But before long there came to the town
a man whose profession was the making
of a newspaper.
This man called upon the merchant
among many others, and did urge him to
let his townsfolk know about the goods
lie had to sell. ...
"Did I hot dp so?" Baid, lie,. "and the-
lesson surely cost me enough."
"Ahl" quoth .the newspaper man, "but
you could only speak to ii few .people at
once, while through my paper yon may
speak to ov6ry person in the .town afc .'the
same time," , ..
After much wrging, he did prevail upon thomorol.aut*to givo.an advertiser-
mefcit, and it is now said that he has to
