When the Rfcforiiifcd church and
the Mayors office were simultane
ously fired March '27, ISB7. the more
charitably disposed tried to believe
and argue an accidental burning.
When, exactly one year after, the
planing and Hour mills of Whitener
»V ISon burned down, there were
still those in the community who
could not accept the fast growing
opinion that wt* had among or
us a man or set of men mean enough
to stick a torrh to his neighbor's
property, but the burning last Thurs- |
day morning of the unoccupied littl* I
store house of Whitener A: Son. on
the 1 jI where their mill was burned,
leaves no longer a shadow of doubt
that we have incendiaries in the j
land. The store had not been used j
for some tim« and no fire had been j
in it for two months or more. There j
was nothing of value in it and the 1
building was small, making the loss
inconsiderable, but the terrible fact, j
now felt by all, that such a danger
overhangs the community, suggest*
those desperate remedies most ade
quate to such desperate diseases ,

Wliat 1m Confidence?
Conscience i« not a simple but a
c'inplex faculty. It l- intellective
and sensitive, embracing judgment
and sentiment. In this it is analo
gous to taste. Conscience is the
moral faculty, and lnis to do with
moral questions only. It appears
to have a threefold ofiice: Firit. it is
a truthful witness, testifying to what
we have done, in thought, word or
deed. Second, it is a judge, pausing
sentence on what we have done
that is good or evil. Third, it in
some sort executes the sentence
passed, so as to create a correspond
ing sensation within. Its existence
is essential to moral agency, and it
i* amenable to 'aw {moral law . but
is the supreme ruler of all the appe
tites and passions, under law. It i-»
the ear of the soul, through which
the voice of God is In ard, and not
the voice of God. as some have sup
posed It woul I be ridiculous to
speak of the voice ot God as pollut
ed, perverted or hardened, seared
with a hot iron or purged from dead
works, defiled and guilty. Vet these
are scripture terms describing to
state of conscience
If conscience were the voict of
God with us, it would be a perfect
guide at all times, and hence the
light of revelation v.ould not be
needed, noi would there be any ne
cessitv for moral culture
The truth is, whether conscience
guides or not, depends upon
the litrht and culture thev received.
If light has been offered and re
fused. or if conscience has ln-en
blinded or rendered insensible by a
course of sin. man is responsible for
this defect, and is jiM as guilty be
fore God a- if he had sinned against
11.
In a word, conscience i» to the
soul what the senses are to the
body B.
