"For God so loved the world that ho

There is n great deal of confusion of
thougnt in Christian pulpits and among
profosBlng Chrliti ns in regard ti the
Bnbjoel of fnith and works , or "Bollof
and tbo L fo. "
Thoutanda of slncoro people arc tUlar-
red from entering the church and taking
upon thomeclves the vows of a OhVlstian ,
boi\U80 of thulr inability to rccolvo the
teachings of the pulpits on this eabjoat.
They nro wanted In the most aolomn
language that "condomnatioti ia based
upon unbelieving , and not simply on sin , '
' You may find a man" ( it is raid ) "who
IB to Ml appearance i respectable , moral ,
upright , full of intrgrity , ami worthy of
adinfrali'ii. However , if ho isantmbo-
Ihvor in the Son of God , that man is
condemned cqtully with tbo man that
lies in the gutter equally with the nun
who oppo.-o ) Gcd in every net of hi ]
mind , budy and soul "
Now , the to ii a clear proposition con
tained in thu'o words to tao effect tint
nccoptnnca with God d panels more , in
fact altogether , upon the operation of n
mind rather than upon the action of n
life.
life.A
A mnn may bo motnl , upright , full of
integrity , nnd worthy of admiration , a
perfect man , end yet because cf his fail
ure to g'nsp intellectually a great Chris
tina doctrine , his uprightness , moral i'y
and integrity count for nothing in the
night and judgment of God , in whoso sight
ho is condemned equally with the man
who , because of his wickedness Hoi in the
gutter , and who opposes God by a life of
depravity ao extreme that it controls him
In every not of his soul , and mind , and
body. Nothing could bo plainer than
the moaning of these words. The question
is. are they true ? Is this the judgment
of God , or the invention of man ?
If the former , wo have no appeal. If
such is the verdict of the Almighty God ,
our only course is to bow before the aw
ful mystery , the nnsolvablo problem that
la placed before us , and confess that God
works In n mysterious way Ills wonders to
perform ; that His ways arc not our ways ,
nor His thoughts our thoughts ; and our
poor human judgments utterly at fault in
the most sorioui affairs of life not only
man's nflalro in this life , but his eternal
interests in the llfo to come ,
If Bach bo the judgments of God wo
should have no dltlloulty in ascertaining
the fact in the book of the revelation of
Hii will to mon. To the law , and to the
testimony then , for its support and con
tradiction.
In the Old Testament wo are taught
that tin came into the world by an act of
dlaobedianca ; tint the cuuo of the flood
was the wickedness of mm who HvoJ
npon tha earth ; and that all the punish
ments aflltctod upjn individuals or npon
nations , was the reiult of the violation of
God's law not because of unbelief.
Wo are taught to BOO this truth in the
lives of the patriarchs , the judges , the
prophoto , the kings and tha common
people of the Jewish nation. Men rose
and fell , and tholr nations iburlshod or
decreased in proportion as they obeyed
these laws of God or disregarded them ,
'
God proclaims himself to' bo a righteous
judge visiting the nina of the wicked
upon their headi , and protecting the
innocent. "Behold , alt souls are mine ;
the eosl that oinnoth , it shall die. " Hzek.
18 4 That slnnoth without one word
about believing.
Shall not the judge of all the earth do
right is the one prevailing thought under
lying the concaptiona of God , in tbo
minds of the writers of the eld toatiment.
In contradistinction to the unjustnoaa of
the creature man , is overmado to appear
the inflexible justica to God. "Ho hath
ahowed the , O man , what n good ; and
what doth the Lord require of thee butte
to do justly , and to love mercy , and to
walk humbly with thy God. " Micah ,
vi8.
vi8.In
In thooght and word the opinion of
thoan old ttstamont worthies ia that the
Lord will render to every man according
to his deeds , and according to his up-
rJghtnota and the cloanlincos of his hands.
Must wo change this conception when
wo come to the new testament ? Is It : i
new and deistical revelation , rather than
fulfilling of the old ? What la its de
sign and character ?
Does God cease to bo tha righteous
Judge and demand as the requisite for
salvation not a lifo of active righteous
ness but an intellectual aesont to certain
dogmas and modes of thought ? If the
old theology is correct , tbiu la the natural
inference. But ia it correct ? Has it
authority to u'tor ' such declarations at
those quoted tor you in the beginning of
those rematks ? Lot us eco.
The pauagos in the now testament
which declares that salvation depends
upon a righteous belief Bonn meny and
pltia. "llo that balii.voth and ia
baptizad shall bo sivod. " "BtlUvo on
the Lori Jeaus Ohriat and thou ahalt bo
uavcd. " IIo that bollovoth on mo hath
everlasting life. " "By him every ono
that biliovath IB justified from all
things. " , "Ho that baliaveth not ii
judged already.
Or take the text which stands at the
head of the sermon I have quoted from.
Whcro in that text can wo draw such
teaching as that "Condemnation is based
on unbcl ov ng , and not a inply on sin ? "
or that "A man who is pure and upright ,
but not a bcl'ovor ' in the Son of God , IE
condemned equally with the mnn who
oppous God in erury net of his mind ,
body and soal. "
Read Jno. III. , VMIJOI 1C to 22 inc'us-

And this la thu judgment : That tbo Ugh'

Why ? Because their deeds are evil. " Si
that belief In the Lord Je iu Christ Ii
shown by the eomlnjfto the 1'ght , and thi
proof of this coming to the light ia de
clare * to bo the forsaking of that whlcl
la evil. Belief In tha SD of God in thii
paesago la evidently equivalent to fonaV-
ing evil and doing gool- loving the Jlgb
rather than thu darkuoaa. Again In verai
; U > of the aama chapter , waaco that obod
iencj ia thu evidence of belief in the Soi
of God.
Where ia the authority for tha atsor
tion that "condemnation ia bawd on nn
believing and not simply on Bin ? " Whi
It is evident from text and context , trm
tin and unbelief , as well as goodness am
belixf , are mod as synonymous tirmf.
The fumkng 9 ! evil Ii the vvidvnc
orreanlt of shuo belief not Iho true
oellaf tbo ovldenco of n good and ho'y
life , The value of an InMloctnalbflhf
is shown In the Baying of Chtiit , "Not
every ono that saith unto me , Lord ,
Lord , " ( that i i , acknowledge mo as such )
"shall cuter into the kingdom of heaven ,
hut ho tbat doeth the will of my Father
which is In heaven. "
The worth of such n belief Is alto
hewn by St. James. "Thou believed
hat Oed is one thou docst well the
devils also bclievo nnd tromblo. " But
heir belief and trembling does not trans-
brm them Into angels of light any mote
han the blasphemous expressions
if perfect bell a f in Jcstn Christ

wretches on the gallows In obedience to
luch teachings as I have quoted , make
hose wretches fit Inhabitants of a heaven
whoso very atmosphere would scorch their
'oul natures In the blazing light of its
iuiity and sinless perfection , 1 look In
aln through the new testament for any
lUthority to change the conception of
God as a rlghtooua judge as one loving
Ightcousncas and hating iniquity , and
, ; lvljgto every man according to hia
works.
But how can God bo raid to ba just ,
, nd yet make no distinction between the
uat and perfect man and the man op-
tosod to him in every act of his body ,
oul and mind ? Between the man who
walks erect and free living a lifo of
conscious integrity and the vile wretch
whoso naturariiomo is the gutter and
ho prlsDn ?
This putting a correct belief before
ifo and character is putting a premium
on hypocrisy. It is judging the fruit by
ho tree instead of the trca.by the fruit.
it is destroying the Idea of personal ac
countability to Almighty God , which
Daniel Webster declared to bo the
greatest thbught that had over occupied
his mind. True belief Is a mortal aot a
direct acceptance of God's truth in simple
sbedlanca. It la itself n holy lifo noi
Iho canao of that llfo. It Is not an
intellectual acceptance of the doctrlno of
.ho trinity or the atonement. It Is a
'allowing ' of God and Ohrint , forsaking
vll , and choosing the goot $ " And our
uty is to recognize the presence of that
rue belief , wherever wo see iti proaonca
n a greater or less degree.
The Christian doctrlno is not an intel
lectual proposition as to which rruiy and
may not bo received. Ohrlstlari faith i ]
lot a faith which leads a man's head
ight , but his heart.
A man may bclievo right and act
wrong or believe wrong and aot right
but in these two cases there can no doubt
jxlst as to which Joaus or the apostles
would have called saving faith.
The man who fell among thieves waa
neglected by the priest mid the Lavito
whoso belief was all right , and succored
'ay the Samaritan whoso belief was wrens ;
n their eyes. The ono showed tlio worth
if a head belief , and the other of the bo-
lot of the heart. The preaching of
Christ , and the preaching of a holy life ,
were never separated. Ho did not preach
doctrine and practice. His doctrlno was
racttco. See Matt , xli , 31.
A man may believe all the doctrines of
ho Christian church and all the confos-
iona of faith and yet bo a moral leper in
his heart and lifo.
Would you see Panl's estimate of head
> allef , see 1st Tim. , 5-8. Hero wo find
bat a man who neglects his household
lutlos is accounted woreo than a man
who denies the Christian faith. This is
.ho teaching of the inspired apostle. It
s bolter for yon to disbelieve the Chris
tian faith intellectually than to bo a bad
husband and bid father.
I.do not deny , mark you , the advan-
ago of a true belief. It is Important ,
but not BO essential ns the belief * of the
heart , in the need of obedience and love
.0 God and nun. A sailing vessel in
mid-ocean struggles j.against wind and
wave , and makes but little headway ,
while there sails grandly past it a vessel
without a sail , making rapid headway.
What is the secret ? Is it a steam vessel

nighty power. The winds are mighty ,
but steam ia mightier. And the heart of
man is God's steam power , which speeds
the vessel of our llfo to the eternal shore

cctual error to the land

And patient hope is crowned ,

The espousal by the Fmpiro clubbf the

HVi&ijintiy to an American actort It

tcnained'for Macready by Isaiah Byn-

llynders long before tlio Astor-placo liot.
When lie wai taking leave of tho. Now
Yort nublic in 1814 , ho talked grandelo-
nucntly ; saying that ho owed nothing .to

both were quits , jfyndcra was in tlib au

Sfoppuig on his sent ho shou td :
' i'hero'a oao thing that you ewe the
American people , and that is civility.
Uuloaa you pay it , I'll pot up there and
throw you off the stage.'V
. IX's.uayod ' by this outbilrat , Macready
retreated behind the curtain and an nctor
named Clark appeared and apologized ( or
him , saying that ho did not Intend to
hurt anybody's footings. , The next tiniu
Uyndcts and Macready , mot was In
Oharlceton , S. 0. They woro.atnyingjn
tha"fiamb hotel. " "Johnny" Auitin was
with Ryndan. As deacrlbed by the lat
ter , Auatin waa n thorough Bowery boy ,
weighed only 135 pounpa , but would
fight big 'Tom" Byor if provoked , nnd
hod such a dj&llke for the lettar "w" and
such a posltrvo affection fortholotlor "v"
that ho always aubatitutad the latter for
the fcrmor In his npooch. Macroady
liked to aloop Itito.and to breakfast luxu
riously In hia loom. Ono morning
"Johnny"Austlnon hia way to the hot.-l
breakfast table , mot in the corldor o
waiter bearing .V'aalvor on which waa a
'
sybaritic re past.
"HoreJ darky1 ! ' nald he , "whero ore
yon Roint ; wirh that br.mkfast . ? '
"TS Maiaa Macready , aah ! "
"Whatl to that Brltlahor ? Oomo
hcrol Take those things Into my room.
I'll take ciro of them I" .
Deaplto the proteata. of the frightened
alavo , Austin snovod him.into hia room ,
and took hia burden from him. While
ho was eating the dainty food Ilyndera
entered his roam.
"Look hero ! " cried Austin , holding up
a chicken wing. "That British willin
was going to hare all theao nice things In
his room , and an American citlzan like
mo was oxpectoa to g3 down to the
table. I guess the willin will go down
stairs this morning. "
The remonstrances of. Rymtara had no
effect on Austin's oppetlto. Macready's
breakfast was disposed of without hia nld.
Rynders went to the office , nnd arrived
there just in tlrao to aavo the waiter
from a whipping by explaining that Mr.
Austin h&d playad n little" trick on Mr.
Macroady. The proprietor of the hotel
know both Rynderc and Austin , and
rather enjoyed the atl'ilr. Meanwhile
Macroady hid called repeatedly for his
breakfast. Hla'ongry protoita ngalntt Its
play finally compelled tho'olork to send
im aa explanation , -which only irritated
im the more. Stalking down to the
dice he angrily ead ! < to the proprietor :
"Why , 3lrdo ( you allow' ' such a scurvy
.rick . to bo played jri your housu ? Is the
' . ' * ' '
mn hero yet ?
"Yes he's hero. '
, That's him over
.hero , " and the proprietor pointed to
Austin , who stood in the further end of
ho room looking as demure as a Bowery
toy could.
"Why do you not kick him out , sir ? '
"Well , Ho won't let'.himself bo kicked.
Bc'a the kind of roan that makes trouble
if anybody goes to kick liira. "
"A little fellow like - , that make
xoublo ? " said Macready , incredulously.
"Yes , sir , a little fellow like that. Now ,
Mr. Mocrcady , " continued the proprietor ,
"a little trick has been ( played upon you
t shall never bo played again. Lot mo
idviso you , for your qivn aakc , to say
nothing abuiit it to tliat man. "
"Why for my oirasilce , sir1 ?
"If you jtalk , to him he will say you
lave Insulted him. Then ho will chal-
engo you , and yon will have to Cght him
tun away from the south. "
"What a Bloodthirsty little fellow he
must bal" remarked Macready no ho
talked on'ay. "But , I asy , " he a dsd ,
oturninR and whispering into thu h jst's
ia"r , "I don'tithink the little fellow ia to
langoroua ES the other man. " Indi
: ating Odpt , Uyndera , who stood by Aim-
in'n eido , ho continuad , "I > don't like
his look ! "
Macready allowed hia anger to au'o-
; ido and thui e aped a call to the field
of honor. Mine host secured him respite
from further annoyance by tolling Rya-
dors and Austin the story of his protest
and procuring their promise to lot him
alone , which they did , apparently , until
the Aator.placo ri < jt occurred.

Over-Population In Germany.
! ontcmporary review.
Germany is growing fast a pre-omin-
ntly industrial country , for which the
xport of ita productions is the condition
f providing the population with fcod
nd raw materials , and'at the same tlmo
tr population is Increasing moro tapidly
.ban that of any other country. The
ivorago yearly lucsoasa on 10,000 Inbab-
" inta ainoo 1831 was in Fiance 2G , in
reat Britain 101 , and in Germany 115 ,
lot-withstanding a largo emigration. Thu
lopulatlon of the Gorman emplro In its
resent llmlto nua In round nnmboro
5,000,000 in 1810. It is now 42,500-
00 , while 3,500,000 have emigrated.
Thin increase results almost exclusively
'rom the cxcesi of birtha kovor , deaths ,
rhilo the feeble growth of the French
npulatlon is &till partly due to Imigra-
lon , which proves that the Incroaoo of
wealth is stronger than that of the
aoplo. In Germany it is the roversa ,
ho amount of oxpouditarj
: auBod by the acceding numbers
9 not equaled by a correspondingly
; rowlng lucomo. In Prussia tbo number
f thoao exempi from all direct taxes
.hat . is , whoso income did not exceed
.125 , had risen within five years by
,500,000 ; it was more than 7,000,000 In
882 ; the ] statistics of otbor German
itates show "a similar result , the poor
atfs have increased everywhere In an
' 'arming ' proportion , and the number of
'agrama and tramps have become a gcn-
ral plague. Our industrial prodndtion
uffers from chronic plethora , its not pro-
luce does not correspond to Its immense
'Xpaneipn , still leas is a real amelioration
if the situation of the working clatsaa to
> o discerned. The supply of labor gen-
irally exceeds the demand ; consequently
wages do not rise , and the lower strata
> f the population can absorb compara-
ivoly little of the mies of products which
TO dally thrown upon the market , be-
auso the Bcantinoas of their earnings
oca not alloy them to satisfy correa-
lundingly their wants. Bat In
.ho . hlgncr classes also all the callings
.roaho overcrowded , the incroiso of ftca-
cmlcal students has boon abnormalandfar
ixcecding the demand , and a considora-
lo part of this BU plus of trained rorces ,
nding no employment , perishes or
aunchcs into adventmcs. In short ,
very where wo find an enhanced struggle

NEW YOKK- , January 20. Ex-Senator
ROBCOO Uonkling waa ono of the moat in-
orrestcd spoc'ators at the span ing ma.tch
ast night. Ho waa accompanied by a
tiond and a at among the reporters ,
where he had boon placed by Captain
Williams. The ex-senator , contrary to
his uaual mood , was in a talkative humor
and freely made comments and plBsad
opinions fighting and fightera.
"What is your opinion , Senator , of
heao epirring matches ? " naked a reporter
who sat near.
"Well , I BOO no Inrm In thorn. Of
: ourao if they become brutal , why they
hould bo stopped. But as 1 huva soon
hem and 1'vo seen a great many of
bom there is nothing bad in them.
For inotanco , I BOW fculllvrm box with
Mitchell. I emu Mm have the opportun-
ty rroro than oncu to strike ana hurt
Vlitchull i' ' ho chose , and ho rcfreiaod. It
is time enough to Btcp rpirrfog whcu it
the verge of aptrriug ana becomes
an attempt to injure a man. But when
'wo men uro evenly matched , and each Is
triviog hia boat , thera Is , In my view ,
lotbicg harmful in the combat. "
"What do you think cf Sullivan1 ! " ?
"Sullivan is a wonderful mini Ho
ould not stand the punishment that Tom
Hycr could , ho is not so active as Yankee
"Sullivan , nor so strong as John Morrissey
nit BO combines these three qualities that
10 is the best man I over saw , and I've
seen a great many of them. I bo'iove ,
! ou'd a man-b.0 I omul who could stand the
mnialiment Sullivan cm give him for five
ounds ho. wotili liavo a fair chance of
ivhippingriho champion. The trouble is ,
inch a man cannot bo found , or rather
las not been. Sullivan is a fighter and a
ilover Fightervjn the condition as I have
said , the best man I ever saw. "
"What do you think or pugilists and
; heir methods of training ! "
"Pugilists , in'my belief , average but
:0 : years of life. Their training is very
overo , and is simply the dragging of lifo
'rom them. They begin their prcpara-
ions f or figh' ' ing by losing flesh. Their
nerves are hi ought to the highest tension.
11 a few days by their work they lese
many pounds of flesh. Every pound of
flesh so lost is the taking elF so much lifo
ilood. It is weakening , opposed to all
ho laws of nature and consequently bad.
i marked contrasts is the system of Ed-
ivard Banlon , the oaisman : Ho has out-
on'ed everybody and his only training is
, ho taking of walks , and the pulling of
lis light boat. That is all ho docs when
ircparing f r a match , and I'll guarantee
hat his muscles are as soft and pliant as
hose of any man in this building. That ,
_ n my opinion , is tha proper way. Ho
does not work to reduce his llesh nor violate
late any of the laws of nature. On the
xmtrary ho follows nature's rules. Aa
you know ho is the ablest oa-sman in the
ivorld , and instead of b.o king h s health
idds to and improves it.
"Whaldoyou think of the so-called
: knock-oiiti' glove fights "
"Generally , I may say , as I told you
before , when they app each such a poiii'
us to Uneaten injury they should bo
.topped. . But I have seen nothing of that
lO'tsavoin the case of Mitchell whom
Sullivan fo obovo st iking when ho could
.iavo done so and so'iously injured him.
Compiro a base ball match when juon
break their fingers and otherwise hurt
themselves , or mode n foot ball games
with glove fights They are by far moro
wicked and vicious nud the chances for
seriously injuring those ongigod in thu
game far greater than in glove fights. 1
sco moro reasons for stopping a base ball
match or n foot ball game than I do a
glove fight , unless the contestants are
about to seriously injure each other. "
At this juncture Sul ivnn and Ryan
stepped into the nn ? and stripped for
their fight. The ox-senator eyed them
with the earnestness of acritic for a few
ra omen's ' and thus commented : "Sulli
van ism JTO puffy than I over saw him
beforo. Ryan is in perfect trim. I be
lieve , as the two men stind to night ,
Ryan is in far better condition than Sulli
van , and. for that ivntoii will stand a very
good chance with him. "
Mr Conklitijj clojely watched the fpw
seconds hard fighting , and seemed lis-
gtistcd when the police put a atop to it.
