opened His mouth to inspiration, and
taught.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit : for theirs is tho
kingdom of licaveu.
UUnsed are they that mourn : for they sliull be
comforted.
Blessed ore tho meek: for they ahull inherit
tliu earth.
Blessed art the merciful : for they shall obtain

Blessed are the peaee-makers : for they shall

"But I say unto you lovo your enemies.
'But if yo forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your luthcr forgive your trespasses."
Here we have tho germ of salva
tion, hut not any for me ! I don't be
lieve in such stylo of religion. That
is tho old fogy style. That is the for
eign style. Tv be sure, we all profess
it, but that is a pleasant religious gag,
full of emptiness, and signifying noth
ing. No church in tho United States,
so-called, could gain a convert on the
platform of Jesus. That is in tho phi)-,
but not in the reality. The man who
lives iLjiJo tho religion of the Bible is
a Coat3vhead, and tho truth is not in
him. Why, bless us if tho Saviour

with a sneaking, solemn, canting, pu

1 have to bo a liypocrrito. Uur

a John Brown pike in the other hand,
with our pockets full of gtolcn articles,

from our churches and glorify God by
mobbing the delencelcss, shouting lor
some political gag, insulting our
friends, and abusing those who aro

It is politically popular. To be sure
