SUNDAY SERMON IN
THE M, , GHURGH,
AN INTERESTING THEME VERY
ABLY PRESENTED
AND LISTENED TO ATTENTIVELY.
Subject' of tho Discourse by Rev.
Powiok to tho Congregation of
tho Mothodlfct Episcopal
Church.
Sunday was missionary day in the Meth
odist Episcopal church and sermons were
delivorel on missionaiy topics, Publica
tion nf tho roport was prevented Monday
by protsure of other matters. The text in
tho morning was taken from 1 Oor. 10 26
"Ho mu-.t re.ign till lie hjth put ad enemios
under Hij foot." Crist reigns on the
mediatorial throne oyer a rebellious world
"Weeoa not yet all th ngs put under Hira,"
but ' Ho f hull not fail nor be discouraged
till Ho bath sot judgment in tho earth and
tho isles shall wait lor His law." Chris
tiauity makes a sublimely audacious claim
to universal supremacy. It admits of no
rival. Confucianism, Buddhism, Moham
edanlsm, Judaism, and every other Issuo is
bound to yield to Christianity. No other
religion professos to bo universal in Its do
mands and adaptations- Not content with
conquests among tho lUing, Christ enters
tbo droad domain of death and snatched its
koys aod proclaims himself Its cocquerer.
Competing, systems, rival leaders and on
posing forces ara to be subdued. We must
mount tho throne as friends or lick the
dust as foes. "At tho name of Jesus every
kneo must how of things in heaven and
things in earth and things under the earth
and every tongue khall confess that Jesus
Curist is Lord to .the glory of God tbo
Father." Thoso who refuse to yiuld to
tho sceptre of grace must bo at length
squelched with tho rod of iron. Thi
audacity of its claims aro still moro an
paront whon we think of tho means by
which they aro to bd realized. First the
bopo of tho world is made to dopond upon
ono who was crucified as a malefactor. To
the Jews this wasa" stumbling block and
to.tho Greeks foolishness. Then it is by
what was termed the foolishness of preach
in? Christ as tho power of Qod and tbo
wisdom of God that it pleased God to eavo
them that believe. Passing by the great,
the wealthy and the influential he sought
his messengers on the shores of Galileo
among its rude fishermen and in its haled
custom houses among tho farmors ol
Roman taxes. Besides this He gave all His
plans away. Ho told His foes just what bo
proposed to do and, in supreme deflar.ee u
all thoir opposition, just how Ho proposed
to do it. This would ruin tho greatest
military leader of tho ages. But ibis re
versal of human methods shows His su
periority to the occasion and proves tho
superhuman origin of the tchemo. From
such tumble beginnings the causa has
spread. Tho nations of -antiquity who
sjouted tho scandal of tho cross have lost
their glory thoir civilization has perished
their name is but a reminiscenco while
tbo barbarians of that age, accepting tho
religion of Jesus, hold to-day thd destinies
of tho earth In their bands. In consider
ing tho progress of the world's conquest it
should ba remembered that the present
conlury has witnessed moro marvelous rcr
suits in this ret poet than all previous ages
Tho work seems slow, but when we remem
ber the aiflleulties in tho way language
to bo acquired prejudices to bo overcome
literaturo to bo created churches to be
built schools to be founded idaus to be
originated it will seem to be considerable.
We have been getting ready to work.
Within less than City years our own church
has entered the foreign field and now wo
have nearly 4,000 native preachora and
helpers, and 1,600 preaching stations. We
have over 2,000 Sunday schools attended
by 107,000 scholars, and 1,090 day schools
attended by 33,811 pupils. And when we
look at tho children our public schools are
Americanizing and then sending home to
Americanize their parents we can easily
appreciato the bearing ol our foreign edu
cational work upon tho christianizing of
pagandom.

her own frea will. Furthermore, that she
(Mrs. Pirriih) did not answer "yes" when
Itov. West asked If tho child should be
christened. Tho wifo made the answer.
Also, that Mr. Jones has not furnlshod bis

THE ELECTIONS
IN TOWN TO-DAY,
SPIRITED BATTLES IN MOST OP
THE WARDS.
A LIVELY FIGHT IN THE FIFTH.
The German Democrats Apply the
Knife-All Quiet In tho First.
Nip and Tuck in the Socorid
Ward Fight.
At the hour of opening tho polls this
morning the atmosphoro was of a freezing
nature and the poll mon wore liko so
many "jumping jacks" trying to keep their
feet warm. Their noses flrst assumed a
brilliant, rosy huo, and gradually turned
to a purp'e, and then a clear blue as blue
as the sky above and as bluo as some of
tho candidates will look to-night when the
returns como in.
In the First ward eve ything had a one
sided appearance. Thero was a nest of
Domocrats about tho poll and Republicans
were as scarce as balloon ascensions in mid
winter. A prominent Democratic worker
said ho thought Smith would leave tho
ward with 200 majority. It was understood
that at noon tho vote stood 49 to 7 in favor
of Flynn for High Constable.
In the Second ward tho fight was nip-and-tuck
all morning, especially on the "coiin
cilmanic fight. Smith expressed the opin
ion that he would carry the ward by a
small majority. Lessig said : "I don't
know how I stand, but I think it will bo
all right." One hundred votes were polled
up to noon.
The vole polled up to noon in the Third
wnrd was 167. This Is light, but a heavy
vote is expected beforo tho closing of tho
polls. Ono gentleman who was keeping a
ptelty close watch at tho poll window ex
pressed the opinion that Davenport would
win the School Director fight, which is the
real battle In that ward, by about 80
majority.
Tho noon vote in tho Fourth ward, like
that in the Third, was light. A hard fight
Is being made by both sidos for Council
and School Director and it was hard to get
any one to express an opinion on tho
probable result, although both Gable and
Butts, the C.tizens' candidates appeared to
bo confident.
The Fifth ward is the battle field of them
all. Tho Germans are in a dissosting
humor and tho Democratic ticket is carved
hero, there and everywhere. ' But 93 vote3
woro polled up to noon and those who are
engaged In fighting the Democratic ticket
look upon this light pill as a good omen.
Somo of tho Citizens' party were so much
oocou aged at noon they were led to an
ticipate a victory for most, and possibly the
whole of their ticket. Morris Wurm af-
fordod them unlimited encouragement and
if tho Citizens' party scores a victory ho
would bo ono of the happiest men this side
of heaven.
Notioa to Voters.
By a typographical error, Frank O.
Reese was put upon tho Citizens' borough
ticket as a candidate for Assessor Instead of
Auditor. Legal authorities state that if
any of tho misprinted tickets should go
Into tho ballot box they shall be counted as
votes for Mr. Retsa as Auditor (first) be
causo the Intention of the voter must be
considered and (second) thoro Is no candi

That Fourth Ward Primary.
Editor Hkbaxij: My attention was
ctlled to your issuo of Friday, which your
local edit'T cast relkctions upon tho
Ciilz-ns' Fourth ward primary of Thurs
day evening, by saying that the businoss
was donu in a slip shod way, making it
appear that all the voters in the Fourth
ward were either devoid of knowledge, or
did not cara which way it wont, only to
get through, when such was not the case.
Had your local editor boen gentlemanly
enough to go r.nd sea the chairman of the
meeting ho would have learned tho chjo't
of such actions that ho would not havo
said what he did. I know for a fact thai
tho chairman saw thero w u d be a wrangle
when it came to tho nomination of con
ferees and so decided to nip it in the bud,
bor.ee ho decided to have nominations
single; at d when Mr. Dean was so gentle
manly and generous as to withdraw bis
conferees lorthosakoof peace and harmony
and made the motion, not because ho
wished to interfere, but ask all to work for
tho success of Mr. Lsssig honco tho chair
man entertained the motion that paeed
without a single oljoction, although,
strictly speaking, tho motion being mde
by Mr. Deau was illegal. Such frivokus
things should not be made to appear as
flip-shod work and, as a voteiofIongstAnd
Ing in that ward, I do not like such slu-s
cast upon us, as we have intelligence U at
will rata with any o.her ward in the
borough. The mooting was harmonious
throughout and the nominations made in
order, until the quest! jn ot conferees were
announced, which started the question of
parliamentary rules by one who ought tc
have known better and kept his seat, and
in order to put him down the chairman
ruled as be did. I trust the next borough
ejection will bo Republican and Demo
cratic, and not Citizens and Democrats, as
the Citizens' ticket is a farco, to my mind.
I saw Democrats vote for School Director
myself and know that they did not intend
to support the ticket. Hence the ward is
so mixed tip that it is time to come down at
once to the old party and have a square,
vote to either win or loo.
Fourth Ward.
We are pleased that the correspondent
agrees with what we have so often main
tained that tho Citizens' tiekt is a farce.
Our "slip-shod" rctorenco applied to all tho
Citizens' primaries. The Republicans can
pever properly put a ticket before tbo
people until thoy hold primaries govornod
