Text: Ex. 314. “ la m .” Theme: “ The Existence and Om nipresence of God.” Is tbe existence of God a theory? So is the non existence of God a theory. I f I do not know that God, is, you do not know that He is not. Assume that there is no God, and you a,re w.thout any foundation; you have no starting point; you ean ex plain nothing' Assume that God is, and you have a foundation upon which to build; you have an explana tion of the universe. As in mathe- , matics you let X equal the unknown quantity, so in the world Jet. God equal the unknown quantity and carry him up through all your processes of thought and . action, and you obtain an intelligent answer to \ ■ the great questions of life. I shall proceed to b I iow that the being of God is not merely the only reasonable hypothesis, but a matter of absolute certainty. One can be as sure of the existence of God as of that of his neighbor. There was a time when there was nothing; or something has always been. If we say there was a time when, nothing existed, then from nothing something has come. And the proposition that the universe haB sprung out of nothingness is an ab surdity; and the mind cannot accept an absurdity or a contradiction. Therefore, the mind is forced to ac cept the only other position, that something has always existed.. This is not an absurdity but a mystery; and a mystery that we are compelled to accept or deny the very laws of thought. Here is our foundation; The certainty of eternal existence. What is the nature of this eternal existence? It was not the organized universe; for it is universally ad mitted among scholars that the or ganized universe had a beginning, while the eternal something is un begun. . \We find in nature, including man, intelligence, will, emotion. and self- consciousness. These are not\ prop erties of organized matter, but o f au unkuown essence .we term spirit. Now spirit is not the result of organ ized matter; but organized matter is the product of spirit; for matter could pot organize itself. Unintelli gent matter could not build, itself into a world of law, interaction and system, This cpuld bo done only, by intelligent will power. Therefore, spirit was before the organized uni verse. Therefore, the eternal exist- ence is spirit. W e know also that we ean not con*, ceiye of mind apart from personality. Therefore, this eternal mind is a person. W e find in nature absolute order, perfect law,- infinite Intelli gence, and: complete design. .. .Bock of these 'must be absolute' person ality. - 1 Something has always existed. This eternal something is mind. This mind is personality. This person ality is absolute. God, or nature, or the first cause are names by. which this absolute personality is known to us. Here the mind of man, by the lavys of logio and necessity, can rest. At this, point it harmoniously meets .with the light of revelation, by which it is stimulated; and by which is made known more fully the moral character and purposes of God as revealed in his incarnation in .Christ Jesus. Tbo most illogical ¿blunders of some metaphysicians; and a great hindrance to the development of the religious,instincts of the soul, is tbe doctrine that God is uot a person,but a kind of impersonal intelligence and force, like electric fluid. It is con trary to all experience and a viola tion of the laws of mind to think of impersonal intelligence or will or emotion. Men can not pray to an impersonal Deity. In what docs personality funda mentally consist? Any being that has self-control and self-conscious ness is a person. A horse has neither of these char acteristics. It has consciousness, but not self-consciousness. It does not possess self-control, but is governed by instinct. Man has some con sciousness of himself and some con trol of himself; therefore he has a limited personality. God is tbe only being that has absolute seli con sciousness and-absoluto self-control; therefore H e is the only absolute person. Young people confound personal ity with corporality. Human person alities are enshrined in bodies. But the person is no part of the body. The person himself is for a time con nected with the body that he may come in contact with the material world, and thereby possess himself of certain experiences. But the soul is greater than - the house in which it lives; and has many latent powers that will be aroused in tbe future state. God is a person not confined to tbe limits of a body unless we poetically call the universe his body. As tbe spirit of man is in e /ery part of his body giving it life and motion, so tbe Spirit o f God is in every part of tbe universe upholding it and giving it life. Moreover as tbe soul of man is ‘ r greater than its expressions through body andre&cbes far above and be yond it in reflection, memory and imagination; so the infinite soul can not fully express himself, even in the limitless ¡universe but transcends it, and as there is no limit to space, so there i s ' none to the presence, and influence o f tbe Almighty. “ Tbe heaven 'of heavens cannot contain JEW.” Man has conscious knowledge of tbe origin of only one kind of force, and that is will force. Scientific thought is fast coming (o tlio conclu sion that thoro is only ono primary force in the world and that is will force. I movo my arm. 1 am con scious that it is moved by will power. Behold the majestic movement of the solar system! These worlds are swept on in thoir orbits through space by the force of the Divine will. People speak of law as though law were the power that rules all things. But there is not ono ouuee of power in law. Law is only a uniform method of operation. There is an invisible power that works in a definite way and that way is uniform and fixed and we cull it law. But the force that acts is ono thiug and the method by which it acts is another. W e havo all seen the picture of (lie earth restmg on the shoulders of Atlas. That aneiont myth is vorv suggestive of a groat truth that the earth is uphold by a personal power. The earth is uphold and carried in its orbit by tbo will of Jehovah. This absi r.l picture of Atlas upholding the earth is no more wide of the truth than the modern popular conception that gravitation is au inherent prop erty of matter. Newton wrote two letters disclaiming the report that ho taught that gravitutiou was a prop erty of matter. Ho wrote that all he had been able to discover was some of the methods, or luws of this foreo. But of the force itself ho knew noth ing, only that it must come from soino unknown agent. We have said there is hut one primury power aud that is will power aud behind all will power there must bo personality. Are we not forced to admit that the power of gravitation is primarily the foreo of will? And Newton’s unknown agent is the unknown God whom Paul pre ceded to Iho Athenians; the God who revealed himself in tlio resurroc tion of Christ? I wind my watch every night. Is the power that causes it to run 24 hours inherent in tlio watch spring? No. It is put in there by my fingers. But thore is no inhoront power in my fingers. Remove the soul from the body and tbe fiugers can not movo. It is the will that moves tho fingers; it is primarily my will that runs the watch. Aud just as truly gravitation and every other powor of uaturo is directly or indirectly tho personal power o f tho Almighty. The fool has said in his heart “ Thore is no God.” But tho philoso pher nud tho theologian and the Christian exclaim “ The Lord God omnipotent roignoth.” That “ Ho is not far from an}’ ono of ns; for in him wo live and movo and havo our being.” That “ l i e is in all and above all and through all;” ’’that ho is all in all.” Whether shall I go from thy spirit? Whether shall I flee from thy prosonce? I am,” or self existonco is the name of our God. He is tbo only absolute personality; and he “ inhab- iteth eternity” alone. % Ho is the “ King eternal, immortal, invisible. While the heavenly multitudes, with tho voice of mighty tbundors, are ascribing halloluyuhs and salva tion and glory nud power to Him that reignoth forever and ever, how long shall the oaith remain in the silence of indiiTorence? “ O come, let us worship, lot us bow before God our maker!” ATTEMPTED HIS OWN LIFE. Appoints a\Democrat. Washington, Oct. 21.—Tbe presi dent today appointed Geo. E. Koestcr collector of internal revenue for tho district of South Carolina, to succeed W. L. Webster, deceased. The ap pointment was announced shortly before the departure of tho president for New Haven this afternoon. With the appointment the following state ment was issued: “ Mr. Koester is a prominent gold democrat and has been recommended for the position by a large number of influential business men and repre sentative citizens not only of South Carolina, but of North Carolina and elsewhere.” Percy DeWolfe After Being Tried and Convicted In the District Court Takes Poison. Great Falls, Mont., Oct. 23,—Percy DeWolfe, who was convicted in the district court this afternoon attempted suicide a few minutes after the ver dict had been announced by taking a dose of cyanide of potassium. The poison was probably too old for quick action aud was taken in whiskey. It failed to perform the work anticipated aud DeW olfe was prevented from cheating the law by the hasty inter vention of physicians. DeW olfe did not appear to he deeply a fleeted by tho verdict and for a few moments stood in the court room aud tulkod to his attorneys. Ho then announced his readinesB to ac company tho deputy sheriff to the county jail. Before going dowa the stairs he requested permission to step into the toilet room a minute. In less than two minutes he returned and joiued the officer and together tboy started to descend tbe stairs loading to the ground floor. On ar riving at tho fust landing DeWolfe threw up his hands and staggered in a slight convulsion. Thoro was a crowd of curious ones on the lunding and DeWolfe was caught by his frieuds and carried up stairs. The convulsions increased and physicians wore at once sum moned. Before they arrived, how- evor, he had lost consciousness. After working over Iho prisoner for nearly au hour the physicians re lieved him and brought him oflt of danger. Cyauide of potassium was un doubtedly the poison with which DoWolfo bad expected to end his earthly troubles. Tho poison was too old, howevor, and instead of hav ing been taken alone was drunk in a portion of whiskey, tending to delay action. A search of tho clothing worn by DeW olfe revealed a number of ascetauolid tablets and three small pieces of cyanide o f potassium. Tho latter had been in his posses sion for sumo months probably, and was hard and too old to act quickly. It is now recalled by Deputy *Sheriff Joslyn that several months ago when ho met DeWolfo in tho northern part of tho state the latter told him that he always carried cyanide of potassium for tho purpose of killing wolves. Tho jury which convicted DeWolfe deliberated over tbo evidence only half an hour and only two ballots were takon. Tho degree of punish ment was left to the discretion of the court. That suicide bad been premeditated in tho event of an adverse verdict, thoro is little doubt. This was shown by an incident last night. While conversing with a few friends in a popular resort, throwing a gold piece on the bar, DeW olfe invited those present to drink, remarking: “ Well, boys, we can drink tonight, hut the Lord only knows whero wo shall all bo tomorrow night.” At a late hour tonight, after thor oughly recovering from the effect of the poison, DeW olfe said that he had never premeditated suicide, but that tho impulse came upon him'suddenly when ho thought of the disgrace which would come to his wife and children if he wore sent to fhe penitentiary. Billings to Great Falls. St. Paul, Oct. 21.—The annual re port of the Great Northern- Railway company, issued today, confirms this statement of a connection with tho Burlington'with a -Burlington-Great Northern line from BilliDgs, Mont., where the Burlington taps the Northern Pacific to Shelby Junction on the Great Northern, main line. The Burlington will build from Huntley, east to Billings, to Oka, Mont., where the new line will meet * a spur extended by tho Great North ern from Armington. From Arming- ton to Great Falls the Great Northern has its own tracks. The Great Falls & Canada, now a narrow gauge, gives a direct line between Great Falls and Shelby Junction. This line is to be widened during the year, but until transformed into a standard gauge, it will be operatod by the same com pany. It has been acquired by the Montana and Great Northern, how ever, for the Great Northern railway. The route jointly laid out will give an air line from Billings to the Great Northern main line. Czolgosz Asks For a Priest. Working on the Grade. Billings, Oct. 21.—A arew of 20 men has been working for a few days past in laying out and grading new yards for tho Burlington in the city under an engineer from Lincoln. The engineer is quoted assaying that grading work is to be done out of Billings all winter on the new line frpm.lhin city to Great Falls. Lost.

Reward of $5.00 will be paid for de liverv at my ranch or to William Hodgskiss. M. CoHiTCLLT. Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 22— Leou F. Czolgosz, the assassin of President McKinley, who is awaiting electrocu tion in the prison here during the week commencing next Monday, fully realizing that his death is but a question of a few days, has asked for spiritual consolation and this nfter- noon received a visit from the Rev. T. Szadinski, a Polish priest of the Roman Catholic church. CzolgoSz’s request for a priest of his own nationality was made known to Warden Mead in the morning. Father Szadinski, who is pastor of St. Stanislaus church, oRchester, vtas in this city attending the 40 hours' devotion of St. Alphonsius church was askod to visit the prisoner. This afternoon he went to the prison and remainod about an hour. The interview between • priest and prisoner proved very unsatisfactory to both. It took place in tho con demned man’s coll and tho conversa tion was carried on in Polish. During the interview Czolgosz said that he had been baptized in tho Roman Catholic faith in tho Polish church in Detroit. He had abundouod tho church early in life and had lost all faith in its teachings. Father Szan- dinski urged him to renounco his be lief in anarchy and return to the faith of his early years. Czolgosz declared bis inability to do so and he was informed that un less ho could tbe consolation of tbo church would bo deniod him. Tbo priest urged the condemned man to consider the matter carefully aud told him that if at any time he de cided to ro-embraco tho faith he would return from his home in Roch ester and stay with him to the end. Father Szandinski, before taking bis departure, left with Czolgosz some Catholic literature, printed in Polish, and also some emblems of the church and Czolgosz assured Father Szan dinski that in case he determined to accept the offices of religion he would send for him hut he did not hold out much hope that he would renounce tbe doctrines of anarchy. Roosevelt at Farmington. Furmington, Conn., Oct. 22.—Presi dent Roosevelt, on the way to New Haven to receive a Yale university degree, spent the day here, the guest of bis sister, wife of Commander Cowles, United States navy. His train reached the station, two mileB from the village at 3:30, and there the presidential special car was side tracked, Mr.-Roosevelt sleeping until 7 o’clock. At that time M rs. Cowle3 arrived and welcomed her brother and others of the presidential party and escorted them to the family resi dence in the village. Before leaving the station the president shook hands and conversed with several residents of tbe place, but in conformity to his expressed wish that his visit here be regarded as a private affair, there was no demonstration such as tho towns people would have been only too glad to extend.
