LOUP (ITY NORTHWfSTfRN UEO. E. MltSiSHCOTER. Editor and I'ob. LOUP CITY, - - NEBRASKA Europe is now combining to coax the Boer to walk the plank. Oil has been struck in Kentucky, but they have decided not to bottle it. Beware of the man with whiskers. Science says he is a walking arsenal of germs. Some people complained about the heat last July. But then some people are always kickers. There are districts in Italy where people live entirely on chestnuts. They live to a placid old age. Lord Rosslyn’s system didn't work at Monte Carlo, but wait till he at tacks ping pong with it. The very best thing that can be j said about the benefactions of Russel j Sage is that he is a modest giver. It is to be hoped that the intentions of those European nations that are now so friendly are entirely honorable. A few pages of “straight front" ads would also make the Congressional Record desirable and help out its pay roll. If moral suasion will not induce the Indian to cut his hair he should be al lowed to continue in the error of his way. A Boston undertaker has written an emotional novel in which the heroine frequently buries her face in her hands. In the case of Gen. Fremont’s wid ow, Uncle Sam appears to be in a po sition that would warrant a visit from the sheriff. passenger departments of transcon tinental railroads are making the usual spring finds of Alaska gold a little ear lier than usual. Great Britain is making the old dis covery that it is almost impossible to pull off a war of any magnitude with out a war scandal. Marconi has permitted his American fiancee to break her engagement. He should establish wireless telegraph communication with Cupid. It Is proposed to make Paris a sea port. and we have no objection even if the French conclude to use their great Panama canal for the purpose. Dr. Parkhurst has decided that im mortality Is not to be general. A few privileged souls will succeed ip getting to the front, just a3 they do on earth. The commissioner of Indian affairs 1 must not hope to acquire merit among our red wards until he orders them to .'lit other people's hair instead of their own. Our inventors have something to learn from the Belgian who has in vented a motor-ear which runs side ways. The King will not have a “court jester” at the coronation. Official poetry has not been enough of a suc cess to warrant experiments in official humor. A St. tjouls teacher of Spanish has been fined $28 for kissing one of his young lady pupils, and she is probably mad at the jury for not placing a high er valuation upon it. French soldiers may be fitted out with American cartridge belts. When a foreign nation wants the best of any thing it is often obliged to call up the Yankee peril and place an order. Those diamonds discovered in Mon tana turn out to be nothing more than white sapphires, worth a dollar a bushel. Still Montana made a very creditable attempt to assert herself. No people can go far astray so long as they nourish healthy hero worship. Hut hero worship has the appetite of a shark, and some day a demigod will come along and stick in its throat and choke it. The crown prince of Siam and the heir to the throne of Japan talk of visiting the I'nited States. If this business keeps on we shall become so haughty presently that there really won’t be any living with us. To the ordinary person It will appear that the Younger brothers and their friends should be content wih the fact that men with such a spectacular crim inal record are permitted to have the liberty of a whole state. What they have obtained is much more than they deserve, and they are quite properly refused the full pardon for which their friends have prayed. Gen. Beil says that one woman is more efficient in pacifying the Philip pines than a company of soldiers. Let us marry off the whole army in the Philippines. That will be equivalent to an army of 4,000,000 men, according to Gen. Bell’s ideas. The Kentucky senate lias adopted a resolution providing for the abolition of the ballot and the substitution of the viva voce system in that body. Evidently the Kentucky senate is go ing to keep right on looking for trou ble. TALMAGE'S SERMON NECESSITY OF BRINGING RELIGION INTO THE EVERY DAY WORLD. “Whatsoever Ye Do, Do It to the Olory of God" A Man t’anoot Ite a Chris tian on Sunday and a Worldling All the Kelt of the Week. {Copyright, 1302, Louis Klopsch. N. T.) Washington, Keb. ltt.—In this dis course Dr. Talmage advises us to do our best in the spheres where we are placed and not wait to serve God in resounding position; text, I Corinthi ans x, 31, “Whether, therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever y?. do, do all to the glory of God. * When the apostle in this text sets forth the idea that, so common an ac tion as the taking of food and drink is to be conducted to the glory of God, he proclaims the importance of re.igion in the ordinary affairs of our life. In all ages of the world there has been a tendency to set apart certain days, places and occasions for worship, and to think those were the chief realms in which religion was to act. Now, holy days and holy places have their importance. They give opportunity for speejal performance of Christian duty and for regaling of the religious appe tite, but they cannot take the place of continuous exercise of faith and pray er. In other words, a man cannot be so much ot a Christian on Sunday that he can afford to be a worldling all the rest of the week. You cannot eat so much at the Sabbath banquet that you can afford religious abstinence the oth er six days. The genuine Christian life is not spasmodic; does not go by fits and starts. It toils on through heat and cold, up steep mountains and along dangerous declivities, its eye on the everlasting hills crowned with the cas tles of the blessed. 1 propose to plead for an everyday religion. In the first place we want to bring the religion of Christ into our conver sation. When a dam breaks and two or three villages are overwhelmed or an earthquake in South America swal lows a whole city, then people begin to talk about the uncertainty of life, ana iney imagine that they are engag ed in positively religious conversation. Xo. You may talk about these thing3 and have no grace of God at all in your heart. \Ye ought every day to be talking religion. The real, genuine Christian man talks chiefly about this life and the great eternity beyond and not so much about the insignificant pass between these two residences. And yet how few circles there are where the religion of Jesus Christ is welcome. Go into a circle even of Christian peo ple, where they are full of joy and hi larity. and talk about Christ or heaven and everything is immediately silenced. As on a summer day when the forests are full of life, chatter, chirrup and carol—a mighty chorus of bird har mony, every tree branch an orchestra— if a hawk appear in the sky every voice stops and the forests are still. Just so I have seen a lively religious circle silenced on the appearance of anything like religious conversation. My friends, the religion of Jesus Christ is something to talk about with a glad heart. It is brighter than the waters; it is more cheerful tliau the sunshine. Do not go around groaning about your religion when you ought to be singing it or talking it in cheerful tones of voice. How often it is that we find men whose lives are utterly inconsistent who attempt to talk rallg ion and always make a failure of it. My friends, we must live religion or we cannot talk it. If we have really felt the religion of Christ in cur hearts, let us talk of it. and talk it with an illumi nated courtenance. remembering tnat when two Christian people talk God gives special attention, and writes down what they say; Malachi Hi., 16. "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another, and the Lord hearkened and heard It, and a book of remembrance was written.” Again, I remark, we must bring the religion of Christ into our employ ments. "Oh.” you say, “that is very well if a man handle large sums of money or if he have an extensive traf fic, but In the humble work in life thaf I am called to the sphere is too small for the action of such grand, heavenly principles." Who told you so? Do you not know that God watches the faded leaf on the brook's surface as certainly as he does the path of a blazing sun? And the moss that creeps up the side i of the rock makes as much impression 1 upon God's mind as the waving tops of Oregon pine and Lebanon cedar, and the alder, crackling under the i cow's hoof, sounds as loud in God's ear ■ as the snap of a world's conllagratlon. ! When you have anything to do in life, however humble it may seem to be. 1 God is always there to help you to do it. A religion that is not good in one place is not worth anything in an other place. Ttie man who has only a day's wages in his pocket as certainly needs the guidance of religion as he who rattles the keys of a hank and could abscond with a hundred thou ; sand dollars. There are those prominent in the churches who seem to be on ppblic oc casions very devout who do not put the principles of Christ’s religion into \ practice. They are the most inexor able of creditors. They are the most grasping of dealers. They are known as sharpers on the street. They fleece every sheep they can catch. A country merchant comes in to buy spring or : fall ROOU3. and he gets Into the store ! of one of these professed Christian men who have really no grace in their ; hearts, and he is completely swindled. | He is so overcome that he cannot get I out of town during the week. He stays i in town over Sunday, goes into some j church to get Christian consolation, when what is his amazement to find that the very man who hands him the poor box in the church is the one who | relieved him of his money! But never riltitl; the deacon has hi* uitek coat on now. He looks solemn and goes home talking about "the blessed ser mon.” If the wheat In f~e churches should be put Into a hopper, the first turn of the crank would make the chaff fly, I tell you. Some of these men are great sticklers for gospel preaching. They say: * You stand there in bands in surplice and gown and preach—preach like an angel—and we will stand out here and attend to business. Don't mix things. Don’t get business and religion In the same bucket. You attend to your matters, and we will attend to ours.” They do not know that God sees every cheat they have practiced in the last six years; that he can look through the iron wall of their fireproof safe; that he has counted every dishonest dol lar they have In their pocket, and that a day of judgment will come. These inconsistent Christian men will sit on the Sabbath night in the house of God singing at the close of the service "Rock of Ages Cleft for Me," and then when the benediction is pronounced shut the pew door and say as they go out: "Good-bye, religion. I'll be back next Sunday.” I think that the church of God and the Sabbath are only an armory where we are to get weapons. 1 look upon the church of Christ and the Sabbath day as only the place and time where and when we are to get armed for Christian conflict, but the battlefield Is on Monday, Tuesday. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. "St. Martin's" and "Lenox" and "Old Hun dred” do not amount to anything unless they sing all the week. A ser mon is useless unless we can take it with us behind the plow and the coun ter. The Sabbath day is worthless if it lasts only twenty-four hours. There are many Christians who say: "We are willing to serve Ood, but we do not want to do it in these spheres about which we are talking, and it seems so insipid and monotonous. If we had some great occasion, if wre had lived in the time of Luther, if we had been Paul's traveling companion, if we could serve God on a great scale, we would do it. but we can't in this everyday life.” There is, however, a field of endurance and great achieve ment, but it is in everyday life. There are Alps to scale, there are Hellesponts to swim, there are fires to brave, but they are all around us now. This is the hardest kind of martyrdom to bear. It took grace to lead Latimer and Ridley through the fire triumphantly when their armed enemies and their friends were looking on. but it re quires more grace now to bring men through persecution when nobody is looking on. I could show you in this city a woman who has had rheumatism for twenty years and has endured more suffering and exhausted more grace than would have made twenty martyrs pass triumphantly through the fire. If you are not faithful in a grand mis sion. If you cannot stand the bite of a midge, how could you endure the breath of a basilisk? ’Do not think that any work God gives you to do in the world is on too small a scale for you to do. The whole I universe is not ashamed to take care of one little flower. Plato had a fable which I have now nearly forgotten, but it ran something like this: He said spirits ol the other world came back to thliS world to find a body and find a sphere of work. One spirit came , and took the body of a king and did ' his work; another spirit came and took 1 the body of a poet and did his work; after awhile Ulysses came, and he caid: "Why, all the fine bodies are taken, and all the grand work is taken. There is nothing left for me.” And some one replied, "Ah, the best one has been left for you.” Ulysses said, "What’s that?” And the reply was, "The body of a common man. doing a common work and for a common re ward.” A good fable for the world and just as good a fable for the church. Whether we eat or drink or what soever we do, let us do it to the glory of God. Again, we need to bring the religion j of Christ into our commonest trials, i For severe losses, for bereavement, for | trouble that stocks like an earthquake i and that blasts like a storm, we pre scribe religious consolation; but, busi ness man, for the small annoyances of ! last week how much of the grace of God did you apply? "Oh,” you say, "these trials are too small for such ap plication.” My brother, they are shap ing your character, they are souring your temper, they are wearing out your patience, and they are making you less ! and less of a man. I go Into a sculp ! tor's studio and see him shaping a | statue. He has a chisel in one hand and a mallet in the other, and he gives i a very gentle stroke—click, click, click? | 1 say, "Why don’t you strike harder?” "Ob,” he replies, "that would shatter i the statue. I can’t do it that way. I | must do it this way.” So he works on. and after awhile the features come out, and everybody that enters the stu dio is charmed and fascinated. Well. God has your soul under process of de velopment, and it is the little annoy ances and vexations of life that are chiseling out your immortal nature. It J is click, click, click! I wonder why I some great providence does not come anu with one stroke prepare you for heaven. Ah, no. God says that is not the way. And so he keeps on by strokes of little annoyances, little sorrows, lit tle vexations, until at last you shall be a glad spectacle for angels and for men. It is the little troubles of life that are having more effect upon you than the great ones. A swarm of lo j custs will kill a grainfield sooner than i the incursion of three or four cattle. J You say, "Since I lost my child, since 1 lost my property, I have been a differ ! ent man.” Hut you do net recognize the architecture of little annoyances that are hewing, digging, cutting, shap ing. splitting anu mterjoining your moral qualities. Rats may sink a ship. ! On' lucifer match may send destruc tk>n through a block ot storehouse*. Catherine de Medici got her death from smelling a po I so not: a rose. Columbus, by stopping and asking for a piece of bread and a drink of water at a Fran ciscan convent, was led to the discov ery of a new world. And there is an intimate connection between trifles and immensities, between nothings and everything*. Now. be careful to let none of those annoyances go through your soul unar raigned. Compel them to administer to your spiritual wealth. l>o not let any annoyance or perplexity come across your soul without its making you better. Our national government did not think it belittling to put a tax on pins and a tax on buckles and a tax on shoes. The individual taxes do not amount to much, but in the aggregate to millions and millions of dollars. And I would have you, O Christian man, put a high tarifl on every annoyance and vexation that comes through your sou). This might not amount to much in single cases, but in the aggregate it would be a great revenue of spiritual strength and satisfaction. And l have to tell you, O Christian men. if you cannot apply the principles of Christ’s religion on a small scale you will never be able to apply them on a large seale. if you cannot contend successfully against these small sorrows that com« down single handed, what will you do when the greater disasters of life come down with thundering artillery, rolling over your soul? Again, we must bring the religion of Christ into our commonest blessings. When the autumn comes and the har vests are in and the governors make proclamations we assemble in churches and we are very thankful. But every day ought to be a thanksgiving day. We do not recognize the common mer cies of life. We are so stupid that nothing but the misfortune of others can rouse us up to our blessings. As the ox grazes in the pasture up to its eye in clover, yet never thinking who makes the clover, and as the bird picks up the worm from the furrow, not knowing that it is God who makes everything, from the animalcule in the sod to the seraph on the throne, so we go on eating, drinking and enjoying, but never thanking, or seldom thank ing. or, if thanking at all, with only half a heart. I compared our Indifference to the brute, but perhaps ! wronged the brute. I do not know but that, among its other instincts, it may have an in stinct by which it recognizes the divino hand that feeds it. I do not know but that God is, through it. holding com munication with what we call “irra tional creation.’’ The cow that stands under the willow by the watercourse, chewing its cud, looks very thankful, and who can tell how much a bird means by its song? The aroma of the flowers smells like incense, and the mist arising from the river looks like the smoke of a morning sacrifice. Oh, that we were as responsive! Yet who thanks God for the air, the fountain of life, the bridge of sunbeams the path of sound, the great fan on a ‘hot summer’s day? Who thanks God for this wonderful physical organism, this sweep of the vision, this chime of har mony struck into the ear, this soft tread of a myriad delights over the nervous tissue, this roKing of the crim son tide through artery u>d vein, this drumming of the heart on our march to immortality? We take all these things as a matter of course. Dut suppose God should withdraw these common blessings! Your body would become an inquisition of tor ture, the cloud would refuse rain, every green thing would crumple up, and the earth would crack open under your feet. The air would cease its healthful circulation, pestilence would swoop, and every house would become a place of skulls. Strer.ms would first swim with vermin and then dry up. and thirst and hunger and anguish and despair would lift their scepters. Oh, compare such a life a3 that with the life you live with your families! Is it not time that, with every word of our lips and with every action of our life we began to acknowledge these everyday mercies? I was preaching one Thanksgiving day and announced my text, “Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy endureth forever.” I do not know whether there was any blessing on the sermon or not, but the text went straight to a young man's heart. He said to himself as I read the text: "Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good”—Why, I have never rendered him any thanks! Oh, what an ingrate I have been!” Can it be, my brother, that you have been fed by the good hand of God all these days, that you have had clothing and shtUer and all the beneficent surround ings, and yet have never offered your heart to God? Oh, let a sense of the divine goodness shown you in every day blessing? melt your heart, and if you have never before uttered one earnest note of thanksgiving let this be the day which shall hear your song! What I say to one 1 say to all. Make every day a Sabbath and every meal a sacrament and every room you enter a holy of holies. We all have work to do; let us be willing to do it. We all have sorrows to bear; let us cheer fully bear them. We all have battles tc fight; let us courageously fight them If you want to die. right, you must live right. Negligence and indolence will win the hiss of everlasting scorn, while faithfulness will gather its gar lands and wave its scepter and sit upon Us throne long after this earth has put on ashes and eternal ages have begun their march. So our every step in life should be a triumphal march, and the humblest footstool on which we are called to sit will be a conquer or’s throne.

(■oldpn Toil.—"Pray for Them Which llespltrfully lT»e Vou, auil Persecute Yon" Matt. 5:44 — Stephen*, (ilorlous Faith anil C'ronn of Marlyrdotn. I. Stephen's Address before the Snnhe dilm.—Acts 7: 1-53. First: Characteris tics. The address was almost entirety Scriptural, based on the facts which his auditors accepted. It was a historical ar gument. The light of the past was thrown on the present. It was a presentation and Interpretation of the course of history, that brought out facts neglected by them, and which shed new light upon the his tory and Its meaning. Second. The address refutes the charges against Stephen, that he spoke blasphe mous words against God, and Moses, and the law. and the temple. He shows that he accepts Xleses as a prophet, und that even his preaching of Jesus as the Mes siah was simply the proclamation that Moses’ pronhecy had been fulfilled, and Mcses himself bade them, "Hear ye hint." He shows them that not himself, but they, are the criminals; that they arc doing to Jesus Just what their fath ers did to Moses anil the prophets, whom they now revete. It is they who had "re ceived the law by the disposition of an gels and had not kept It." Third. The address was less a defense of himself than of the truth that Jesus was the Messiah. Stephen cared less for himself than for hts cause. Fourth: The Application. Instead of honoring Moses and the law, they were now acting in the spirit of those who per secuted. They were resisting the Holy Spirit as their fathers did. He presented before them a mirror. In which they could see their own characters, like those who looked in the soul-mirror. II. The Scene In the Court Room —Vs, 54-57. 5t. "They were cut to the heart." Passion raged against passion, and pas sion against reason. Their hearts were distracted, torn with rage, greatly exas perated. The argument was turned against them. They were accused of mur dering their Messiah. The one they held a convict became their accuser. His words of truth stung them like scorpions. Before him the whole fabric of 'heir hopes fell an«i left not a wrecn urmnu, unless they repented. "They gnaaned on him with their teeth," as if they would like to bite him. an expression of Impo tent rage, as of the lost in hell (Matt. 8: 12; 13: 42). It was the same demoniac feeling. They snarled like beasts of prey. ** *Be ye angry and sin not.' But this an ger was all sin."—Professor Barker. “Being full of the Holy Ghost. The Greek being full implies not a sudden in spiration. but a permanent state.—Plump tre. “lacked up steadfastly into heaven. With mind outstretched and intent he looked into heaven. The tumultuous scene around him. the council hall, arid the* cir cle of his infuriated judges all faded from his vision and he saw the celestial city in its glory, tin- glory of God. the angels gazing in sympathy, and waiting to wel come him with crowns and harps, and “Jesus standing" (as if ready to help and sustain him. not seated as In Heb. 10: 12) “on the right hand of God," as if saying, “W4gi done, good and faithful enter thou into the joy of thy L»ord. He now knew* Jesus was alive, and able to sustain him in tain trial. III. The Martyrdom of Stephen.—\ s. 5T-»,» Acts V: 2. "Han upon him with one accord." "Whilst the scene was a tu multuous one, it was quite possible that it was not wholly bereft of judicial appear ances" (Knowflng). for the judicial forms were observed In the stoning. I he real difficulty lies in the fact that the Human government did not permit the banne drim to put any one to death But at this time the Homan government in Judea was in a very unsettled state. Pilate was either deposed ( A. I->. 3t>» or was^on the poUat of bring so. to be tried for his mls pno-rnment. Vltellius, governor of Syria, who had caused Pilate to b»* sent Home ’n disgrace, was anxious to conciliate the Jews. So that it is easy to see how Home mnv have connived at the murder of Stephen bv the leading Jews. See Knowl ing 202. 3. and MeGiffert. M. "Cast him out of the city."

"They stone one witness, but God is preparing another to take his place,"—Starke. "Receive my spirit." In to the mansions Jesus had gone to pre pare: to his own heart and home. ■‘And he kneeled down." While they were stoning him, he rose up on his knees. "And cried with a loud voice, so that his persecutors could hear him, and understand his spirit, “Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.” "And the prayer for his murderers Is identical in spirit with Christ’s upon the cross."—Butler. Both grew out of the same loving spirit. •Aril ... ho fell asleep." Marking his calm and peaceful death. The one who sleeps is alive, and awakes the same per son who lav down to sleep.

"There was a great persecution against the church ” The severity and the variety of suffering may lie imagined from James' description (Ja's. 2: «. 7), and Paul's in 2 Cor. 11: 23-25.

IV. —The Martyr's Crown.—The Three Crowns St' phen's name signifies in Greek, a crown. “He received three crowns: it) The beautiful crown of grace with which the Lord adorned him. (2) The bloody crown of thorns, which, like his Saviour, he wore in suffering and In death. (3) The heavenly crown of hon or Strauss. Stephen s success lay In the fact that he preserved his manhood and his eharacti r untarnished amid great temptations. He was a hero. He was gold tiled In the fire. No man's life is a failure who is himself a moral success, ami is a victor on the battlefield of the heart, St' ptu u lias part in the triumphs of Christianity through the ages. His example is a star which never ceases to shine. He holds up before all men an Ideal heroism, courage, faithfulness to duty. He is a perpetual Inspiration. In heaven he wears the victor's crown, and dwells forever In the Joy of his Lord, eating of “the tree of life which Is in the mlost of the paradise of God," "a pillar in the temple of my God." having "the morning star" and "the new name."
