A card, “for rent.” was put up
on a house on Sears street one day,
and the next day it was rented and
occupied.
We heard of six parties trying to
rent a certain house on Gandy street
last week. This will give people
some idea how scarce dwelling
houses are in Denison.

We honestly believe that one hun-

find ready occupants if erected in
Denison within the present month.
There never was such a demand for
houses.
The proprietors of the ice factory
contemplate erecting, on the west

Col. E. H. Lansing, the general
manager of the celebrated physician,
Doctor Curtis, and Prof. William
Windsor, phrenologist, informs the
Gazetteer that he will shortly visit
Denison with Messrs. Curtis and
Windsor.
The beautiful spring-like weather
of Sunday tempted every one out of
doors, and induced large numbers
of our people to visit the Boulevard.
It will however be some time before
regular travel to this place ot Sunday
resort will set it.

Some good party could make a
nice little pile by putting up a com-
modious boarding house, where
parties that don’t care to keep house
or board at the hotels, could be ac-
commodated. VV’e know of several
parties that would take rooms and
board with the right party, but who
will be the party to come
forward and fill this long felt want.

Oat His Fool
Sunday night at a late hour the
sacred town cow invaded the prem-
ises ot Mr. F. Thornhill, and began
trying to pull down the bar.1, in or-
der to get at the feed that was being
enjoyed by Mr. Thornhill’s horse.
The noise she made in trying to pull
off boards with her horns awakened
the proprietor of the house, who,
imagining that some one was trying
to steal his horse, got out of bed
and started for the stable in his bare
feet. As he stepped hurriedly from
the porch his foot lit upon a piece
ot a broken bottle, cutting his heel
in a fearful manner. The wound is
a severe and painful one, and will
prevent Mr. Thornhill from wearing
a shoe for some time to come.
Old pill boxes are spread over the

Sol Smith Russell hat been book-

next season.
Miss Adelaide Moore, the strictly
legitimate, is filling engagements in
the Southern citie®. She left Texas
week before last.
Robson & Crane will be in Dallas
on the 2^th and 26th, playing the
“Comedy of Errors” and “Merry
Wives of Windsor.” VV’e hope
Manager O’Maley will arrange with
Messrs. Robson and Crane for a date
at the McDougall.
Manager O Maley says that, if he
n get the scenery painted, Kate
Claxton and company will, on the
evening of their engagement at the
McDougall, produce the play “A
Sea of Ice.” We hope the manager
will succeed, as this will be a very
rare treat for the theatre-goers of
Denison.
This is about the time of year that
opera house managers take their an-
nual benefit. Manager O’Maley, of
the McDougall, will take his next
Wednesday evening. Roland Reed,
an especial favorite with our amuse-
ment loving people, in connection
with his company, will furnish the
entertainment, giving us “Cheek.”
The opera house management of
Dallas announce for February 4th
and 5th, Miss Myra Goodwin; 7U1
and 8th, Roland Reed; 12th, Oliver
Doud Byron; 16th and 17th, J. B.
Polk; 21st and 22d, Kate Claxton :
24th, Edwin Booth ; 25th and 26th.
Robson & Crane. Of the above ar-
ray of talented actresses and actors
we will have the pleasure of seeing
at the McDougall (as they already
have dates) Roland Reed and Kate
Claxton. The others as yet have no
dates.
The “Little Nugget” comedy com-
pany appeared last night at the Tre-
mont, playing to a small house. A
matinee is being given this after-
noon, and a performance to-night
will close the company’s engage-
ment.—Galveston Evening Tribune,
anuary 29th.
Here would have been a good oj
portunity for the manager of
‘Little Nugget” company to draw
on Ohio for people to fill the opera
house. He says he gets all of his
printing from Ohio, and also advises
other managers to do the same, and
while in Texas, we hope he will get
his audiences from Ohio, too.

A number of good servant girls

The enterprising drug firm of
Guiteau & Waldron are always in

recognize the wonderful merit and
great efficacy of the celebrated
Reed’s Chill Cure and have se-

either at wholesale or retail. Every

The long spell of dry weather

-. Speech Recording.
A Dromising method of recording
and reproducing speech is that of M.
Leon Esquille, by a modification of
the photophone. The speaking is
done before a diaphragm, having a
a highly polished surface, from which
a ray of light is reflected, and the
record of this*, speeth is obtained by
simply photographing the ray of light
upon a traveling band of sensitized
paper. After having been developed
the articulation may be reproduced
by projecting the image of the trace
by means of a strong light upon a
selenium receiver, the well known
apparatus for transforming light-im-
pulses into sound-vibrations, and the
speech is then heard through the tel-
ephone connected.

dily and effectually cure them. Sold

We regret to learn that Mr. A.
C. Runyon has resigned his situ-
ation as hill clerk in the Missouri
Pacific freight department at this
point, with a view of taking a posi-
tion as confidential clerk with the
hardware firm of Trimbell, Bros &
Threlkeld, ot Wichita, Kansas.
The prominent position occupied by
Mr. Runyon in the estimation of
our best people renders this intelli-
gence a matter to be sincerely re-
gretted. His refined, yet unaffec
ted manners, his literay and musical
accomplishments, and above all his
splendid sociability conspired to
make him a general favorite in the
upper circle, in which he moved,
and his departure from amongst us
will be a loss to our social circle
which will be neither easily repair-
ed nor soon forgotten. 7hat may
be said of Asa Runyon, which can-
not be said of every man which
mingles in society. He is a society
man, a man of sense, and the
Gazetteer most sincerely wishes
him the best of success in his new
situation.
“Church of the Living God, the Pillar
and Ground ot the Truth.” [1. Tim.,
3*5]
PRELUDE.
There are time* when every Christian
must feel crushed beneath the weight of
sense ot sin. Times when the most in-
nocent Hie is viewed with a sense ot mis-
giving—a deep sense of doubt as to its
being innocent at all in the sight of God
Although no vices may have been
indulged in, no crimes perpetrated
yet deep down in the heart there is a
misgiving; there is a harrowing
doubt as to whether or not the
thoughts, the feelings and the acts of
the life have been innocent in their
nature and tendency. While we may
be able to confront the whole outer
world fearless of suspicion or accusa-
tion, we are not so sure of confront
ing the inner or spiritual world with
out challenge,
A man need not be a knavet a re-
probate, or a vagabond, to feel in
some degree the crushing and humil-
iating sense of sin. Because the
character is not reeking with the pol-
lution of public infamy is not con
elusive proof of an immaculate na-
ture, and a conscience at peace with
itself. In other words, an outward
visible sign of holiness does not al-
ways represent a corresponding in-
ward spiritual grace in the same
character. To all outward appear-
ances men may seem to be absolute-
ly void of sin or remorse of con-
science, while at the same time they
are suffering from both. When a
man’s consciousness of innocence
(or conceit of innocence) outstrips
his sense of inherent weakness and
folly, he trusteth not so much in the
righteousness of our Advocate, the
blessed Lord, but he acts like those
other individuals whom, St. Paul
says, in their ignorance of the true
righteousness of God are ever "pro-
priam justitiam studentes consti-
tuere." There is nothing more de-
ceitful than sin. No matter how
great a sinner a man may be, he
consoles himself (what a consola-
tion!) that somewhere in the world
there is another a little blacker than
himself. I do not believe that the
rational man lives on the earth to-
day who deems himself either the
greatest sinner or the purest saint
that enjoys the blessing of life. There
is a long, deep distance between the
estimate which one man may place
upon another and the other’s secret
estimate of himself. The reason of
this grows out of the tact that our
judgment of another being is mainly
inferential, whereas that individual’s
estimate of himself may be based
upon facts unknown to us which
flatly contradict our inferential judg-
ment, and are at the same time ab-
solutely correct. We may ascribe to
a friend virtues which he has not,
and through our inability to read the
hearts ot men we may see as little
moral excellence in an enemy as we
would in a marble statue. Whereas,
if the actual facts were known, our
judgment might be reversed in both
cases. All men are sinners by na-
ture and by practice, therefore our
Holy Saviour said, “Judge not!”
emphasising the judicial incompe-
tency of man over man in everything
approaching anything like a
final arbitration ot the spirit-
ual destiny of man by man.
This does not set aside
the fact that a man is amenable to
the state and to society. In those
temporal relations of life he may be
judiciously dealt with, because they
are matters which God has not only
designed, but commanded that they
should be wisely and justly adminis-
tered by man over man. A man
feels his need of a saviour and a
guide in proportion as this sense ot
weakness and sin develops in him.
But when I speak of a judicial pro-
ceeding issued from a human tribu-
nal, which seeks to penetrate the in-
visible and unsearchable ; which, in
its profane and blasphemous con-
ceit, pretends to lay open and bare
the eternal councils of the Infinite,
and evolve from the inconceivable
magnitude of the boundless spiritual
possibilities of the Almighty a clear
and definite digest of those possibil-jjl
ities. both in their relation to the
competency of the Creator to save
and the individual fitness of the
creature to be saved, I speak of
something that does not belong to
the nature of man, but is an attribute
of the ineffible One. * • *
and countless "Protesiant churches,”
hardly any two agreeing in faith or
polity.
Every one who b*s been baptised
with water in the name of the Blessed
Trinity is a Christian and a Catholic
to that sacramental extent, say what
you please, no matter whether ad-
ministered by the English, Grecian,
Latin or sectarian authorities. But
on account of birth, training, or in-
dividual taste, many baptised Chris-
tians are not only ignorant of, or in-
different to the principles of true
churc' manship, and have run after
the negative heresies of the day until
in the descending pace of Protestant
denial they have compassed as great
an extreme in that direction as Rome
has in the opposite one of novel ac-
cretions to the faith “once delivered.
Which is the most to be admired for
its magnificent audacity? The first
system is crude, rabid, communistic
and incompetent of organic unity or
permanency. The latter system is
cool, stern, exegetically unscrupu-
lous, but unified and absolutely des-
that neither the “high” nor the
“low” the “broad” nor the “nar-
row” can control her. They live
by her, not she by them. Those
are stirring words of that brilliant
writer, Thos. E. Green, late pastor
of the Eighth Presbyterian church
of Chicago, but now a candidate for
the priesthood in our church. He
says in nis “Call ot the Mother
Church.” “Rome calls herselt the
church, and boldly submits to the
test her answers to the challenge of
the apostolic test. But in this mod-
em protestantism we are met with
a spirit that calls itself the church ;
but at once denies the church
that quotes history, and yet denies
history; that lives and moves in, and
is solely for the present. ” • *
But men are impatient like Uzza,
and fearing that the Lord may uot
be able to take care of the ark, they
lay hold of it and strive to do things
in their own way. Men often judge
from immediate visible results.
They say: “If yours is the true
church, why then are not your peo-
potic over the conscience, body aiuT pie perfect paterns of holiness?”
What hassectarian Protestantism
done during the last 200 years but
establish creed factories in every land
and among all people, setting up its
own strained limitations of human
belief and Divine prerogative? It
has ground out creeds by the thou-
sand. When it failed to make a creed
to fit the man, it made the man fit
the creed. It began presumably by
objecting to “the Pope,” and what
is the result ? Mirrabile dicta ! It
has made thousand popes where the
Roman church has made one. Popes
of might if not always popes of
right; popes who have dared to
tread where a Leo would not; popes
who have destroyed sacraments, or-
ders, even churches; popes who have
been able to interpret a Bible which
they neither preserved nor translated
into the one language which they
speak; popes who do not stop at in-
fallibility. They have anulled actual
historical truth. The Protestant has
gotten ahead of the Romanist at
last by establishing pope factories
everywhere. If any one should feel
hurt over this competition it is the
Roman Catholic! What is the re-
sult? Instead of the one apostle’s
creed and apostolic church the world
is oppressed with a thousand creeds,
soul, yet preserves her identity as a
church by clinging to the vital orders
and sacraments. There is no ques-
tion about both believing in the
papacy. But Rome wants but one
“infallible” at a time. Geneva wants
a thousand. The Anglican church
is the via media between the«e fervid
extremes. The latest illustration of
the human mind revolting against
man-made creeds is the “Andover
Trial.”
As to all great theological princes
the Anglical church bids her chil-
dren to follow none of them. They
were not crucified for her. Her
foundations are stated in the apos-
tles’ creed. That is all. She has no
secrets which she is afraid for the
world to know. She has never pre-
sumed to take advantage of the frail*
ty ot the common mind to tax it
with unwarranted dogma*.
Differing denominations have mul-
tiplied, divided and sub-divided, un-
til nine-tenths of the people who be-
long to them cannot tell any more
about them than to give the name of
their sect. The result of all this is
chaos—confusion confounded ! The
Protestant masses are utterly bewil-
dered! How bewildered, you say?1
Every way. For instance, an intel-
ligent young man wishes to live a
religious life. He has not had a
church training. His parents were
wise and precise in everything but
religion. His associates they chose
for him.His education they planned.
Iis profession they advised. But in
religious matters they just let him
‘grow up to choose for himself.”
We will suppose that he has con-
cluded to do that. How does he do
it? There are several ways. One is
to throw away principle and “join
the preacher” that you like best. If
he dies or goes away, hunt another
that you “like best,” join him a-
while, no matter what he believes.
You are not supposed to read or
think or have any religious brains.
Another way is to join the sect which
is the most sociable and will make
the most out of you, and give you
the least in return for it. If you want
certain “one idea” religion you
can get it, provided you find out
what kind of an idea you want. If
you want a “material hell” and
‘physical heaven” religion, you can
get that. If you want a kind of
‘elect’ religion go where John Calvin
is door-keeper. If you hear a groan
from hia grave do not be alarmed, it
is only poor old Servetas.
When a thing is foreordained it is
a foregone conclusion that it must
eventually happen. If you wish to
travel the via aqua, gather up that
old Greek proposition, You will
need no other cross. It is more an
article of quantity than of quality.
The routes are too numerous to men-
tion—that is, the new routes, which
have all been mapped out wiihin the
last 300 years. Now the young man
stands before all these ; what is he to
do? Shall I join Dr. Dash or Dr.
Quack, or Dr. Bible-pounder, or
who? It is hardly to be supposed
that he can try them all. However,
there are people who seem willing
to join everything that comes along,
if there is any sensation about it.
There is but one resource l^ft for
this" young man ; that is to investi-
gate for himself. Read every side
of every question, from Celsus to
Father Damon. This is too import-
ant a question to settle by proxy.
Read for yourself. Go back and dig
deep among the buried tacts of past
history. See if there is not an apos-
tolic church; a church whose links
run back and wind themselves around
the incarnate person of her Saviour,
who is her Advocate as well. Is the
adverse testimony of a person, who
has bad neither the orders nor the
blessed privileges of the Apostolic
churchy competent testimony? I
think not. It is not only inferential,
but prejudicial. As far as his expe-
rience is concerned, it is assuming a
great deal for such an one to offer
his testimony. It is not a church
founded upon a certain individual’s
moral qualities, because these are
uncertain quanities. It is a church,
not founded upon the Bible either,
because the Church of Christ was
founded before the New Testament
was written. The Bible is for the
church, not the church for the Bible,
just as this State does not exist for
and on account of her constitution,
but the constitution is for the bene-
fit of the State. Therefore the holy
apostle calls it the “Church of the
living God, the pillar and ground
of the Truth.” 1. Tim. 3:15. A
church whose creed is neither moul-
ded nor manned by human hands.
A church essentially neither Protes-
tant nor Romish. A church so broad
and free that every mind and tem
perment may find rest and peace
within her fold; yet at the same
time a. church so strong and compact
Ah, it is not often in this world that
all the dross is burned out of the
human heart by the fires of a heav-
enly love. Among the twelve disci-
ples of our Lord were imperfect
ones. St. Peter denied him. St.
Thomas doubted him. Judas be-
trayed him. The Master said: “I
came not to call the righteous, but
sinners.” The church is not the
end, but means through which the
souls of men are guided into the
way of life. If they will not hear
her voice and obey her precepts,
they cannot be beuefitted by her.
The apostle says: “To be spiritual-
ly minded is life and peace.” The
whole work of the church is to make
her children spiritually minded, for
this her priests never fail to plead
the offering of her Advocate Our
Saviour calls the church his bride,
surely she ought to be able to teach
us what his will is. The church can-
not in all cases be justly censured
for the folly and sin of her children
any more than a good woman could.
Her doctrine is pure. Her precepts
are all noble. Every moral princi-
ple involved in her organic lite is
the very essence of virture. Is that
not enough ?
Aside and beyond all this we are
taught these sweet and holy words.;
Though I speak with the tongues
of men and angels and have not
charity, I am become as a sounding
Brass and a tinkling cymbal.” I.
Cor. 13:1.
Through misunderstanding some
one may say that to talk of “swiet
charity” after such words as I have
just uttered is out of place. That
depends upon whether it is more
charitable to tell the truth to frown-
ing faces or to utter evasive and
empty platitudes for applauding
smiles.
If you doubt the soundness of my
position there is a sure way out of
that doubt. Investigate for your-
self, and when you find that the
truth is leading you into paths which
have been blocked by your preju-
dice or ignorance, do not get fright-
ened and run away, as thousands
have done and are now doing, fol-
low it up if it leads you to the very
gate of paradise.
Upon the personal goodness of
any man, or any given number of
men, I do not presume to sit in
judgment. What is in their poor
suffering hearts I know not. God
alone must be their judge, and de-
cide whether or not they are worthy
to enter his kingdom. Assailing the
errors of a man’s belief is one thing,
and assailing his character or eternal
unfitness for heaven is another. Not
that belief is to be divorced from
character. Profession may be di-
vorced from character, but not actual
belief. One of the most deceptive
and damnable phases of the crude
“protestant idea” is that human
goodness is an equivolent for divine
truth, that is, if a man “professes
.sanctification,” this one idea of his
•own moral fitness to consort with
angels acts as a substitute for every
thing else within the province of
religious belief. Whatsoever aside
from this that God hath ordained
that men should believe to their
soul’s health is entirely ig nored.
What is human goodness after all
but a very indefinite quality, and un-
certain quantity; a thing in which it
is not wise to trust. “There is but
one good” in the absolute sense of
the term, saith our Saviour—that is
the Ineffable One.
A man may think that he is good
enough to lay his hand upon the ark
of the Lord without authority to do
*0, like Uzza, of old. 1. Chron.
13:9, ip. While under a new dis-
pensation ot greater mercy and for-
bearance he may not suffer the fear-
ful punishment of Uzza; that does
not prove any thing in his favor.
Was not Uzza a good man? But
he dropped dead the moment he
touched the sacred thing? Why are
our people not better than other
folks? Well, if their salva-
tion depended upon their own vica-
rious goodness I would say that their
case does look rather gloomy. But
no. They do not trust in that. They
are taught to look to Jesus Chri-t,
who was crucified for the whole
world. Their faith is in Him and
not in themselves. They ought to
be the best people on earth. If
they were good in porportion to
their spiritual blessings and privi-
leges they would be. But the church
alone can not make any one good.
No quantity of medicine will cure
a sick man if he never “takes it.”
Simply having it around to handle,
to look at, or even to smell, will do
him no good. He must pour the
elementjinto his system, and assimi-
late it in order to be benefitted.
What is the use for him to call in a
physician if he is going to trust to
luck to get well ? Some Christians
go to church but are trusting to
“luck” to get to heaven. They
may get there, but it will be through
the infinite tenderness of Him
“whose property is always to have
mercy.” Surrounded by countless
“warring sects” the churchman
peacefully stands by the blessed faith
reaeved and held. “Semper, ubique
at ah omnibus.”
