THE LINCOLN COURIER AM A HAI.IP.A1 YEAIRo Since we; changed the price of the Courier to One Dollar there has been hut little vari ance in the Subscription list and we therefore conclude that the people who want a county paper are willing to pay $1-50 for it, at any rate we cannot ifford to publish the (Jourier at $1.00 a year. Henceforth we will hold to our original price $.50 a year. Concluded from first yaqe.) give the Holy Communiou tb proceed in a very unchurchly ma: -iibr, show their lack of iuterest in and care for bonis they profess to have won and they live and labcr in direct disobedience to onr Lord's command, Matthew, 28, 10, who instructs them to teach and baptiz;, and they are therefore not worthy under-Bbepherda in the fold of 01 1 Lord. 8. That as they do not baptize, visit the sick, bury the dead, and perform pastoral labors on accout z of their frequent change, the pecs pie should first and last and alvn prefer support, help, stand by labcr ! w ith and pray lor their own pastoia I instead ot evangelists. j . That the right place for evac i gclists is in mral districts, neglected hamlet", etc., where there are no j churches, and not in cities wheieJ there are churches and pastors. j 10. That as a clas no set of men J in the church are more over-esti'ii ated and over-rate! botu by them selves and certain people in varioi.s j communities than evangelists, an.l ) yet there are ministers true, Go tly j men, in every large community, wh" J are their tquals in scholarship, ora , tory and preacluug, and therefor j there are no fet of men who are ovtr ' paid more nnwoithiiy than evange j lis's, and because this is the cato tbe.v ate tv mgt-lis's. 11. That any evaugelia' who is s( awlu'ly awful opposed to liquor..

Ilaviug now presented the geuer aI beads, let me submit the shorter and moie specific. 1. That the word "Tabernacle" is a tnisnomtr, in view of the way in which they are constructed. I? is a biblical name for a very uubibbcdl thing. 2. That "Tabernacle' is a misno iner on account of the miserable things said aud done in it otttimes and that the comparison with the ancient Tabernacle aud its holy uses seems like ai iusult to ancient Israel. o. That the Tabernacle is an ac tiqiited Jewish thing, and an ec tirely uuchiistiau thing and out of place in the Christian era. 4. Taat the Tabernacle, iu its be ing offered as a tit place for services on the Lord's day, iustt ad of a con secrated house of worship, is unde niably wiong, makes a mockery of dedication, is contusing to the pec pie, and coutraiy to the history both of the Jewish church and the Chris iao church. 5. That to worship lu such a place is contrary to the example of our blessed Lord who weut to visitiug the Temple, went again aud again to the Synagogue, and who did not even erect a ''Tabernacle" ou the Mount of Transfiguration; 6. That the excuse aud use of a Tabernacle for meetings instead of a church is a hypocritical pretest, when people who go and hoar tire j popularize sinful ways and to min-j expected to behave as if they were j lead the young r.y making them; in church, but the minisier can talk think that if these greaf evangelists from "the business end ol a muleweie bo bad and all at once became down to the polecat of heli" ami it is said, well it is not a church, but you must behave as ff you were In church. The contrast t the saciea use of "the Tabernacle" ot ancient Israel, with those of our day,should make us blush. 7. The use of a Tabernacle, to gel a "Tabernickle" from the "bench warmers,-' and to cry on 8ouls,souls but reach out hands continually and beg for money, money, is a flat de nial of the object for which it was. eaid.it was intended above all other things. 8. To sell pictures of any uncle, or books of any kind during service iu a Tabernacle built to save souls is worse than the money-changers and the sellers of doves in the terns pie in Jerusalem iu Christ's time,foi they sold to help the worship, but these only to make money. 9. That the services, in m . ty re, apects are uoscriptaral as V-. ser mons are the history of fami es, ils likes, aud dislikes, expedience laughable and overdrawn atones and illustrations instead of preach ing God's word. 10. That even texts are announc ed that are no "texts," as the words "What wait I for 1" A text must contain some truth in co in ph in form, so these words are not a text even. 11. Its songs are often unchurch, ly, the hymns of the church not te iDg used, and often very nonsensical and unscriptural, aa for instance, page 71 in Triumphant songs, tb piece entitled "Bells of Conscience.'' Whoever heard of conscience hav ing a set ot bells, and page 408 "Keep in de Middle of de Road,'" what inspiring help to Heaven is such stuff. 12 The handshaking process and invitation are no signs of conversion and are unscriptural in their histo ry, contrary to reason and the chuicb doctrine that God's word and Go i's spirit are the agencies of true con version. 13. A conversion atter, bv and .. . 1 throughout a sermon with an lm- ! pioper text, and made up of family history, jokes aud anecdotes, is a caricature on holy religion and should be stopped by law. 14. That to wish to overpersuade meu is unscriptural and leads to falso conversions. ! 15 That to want to see immedi-' ate fruits of labor is contrary even to nature, much more to sciipture 1G. It is one of the basest drc trims to say we must get down to the people with vulgar terms U reach them. It is fallacious aac fearful in its consequences and hat no liibla support for them, one would have to get druuk to reach a diuukard- 17. Crowds are no sign of right and so with evangelists, they go not so much for God's word, as to heai the new and the sensational. 18. Sensational evangelists com iug into a community do more harm than good. 1. By their presence, they draw people away from the church. 2. By their coming from time to time teach people to put off repents ance 3. By their running down the ministry. 4. By their running down church members. 5. By their absolute indifference as to souls when time for leaving? comes. No matter how many souls are being converted in their certain way, mey would ratner go to save time than remain to save souls. G: By teaching or claiming that they can say what the ministers can not siy. This is untrue and un scriptural and no verse in the Bible sajs "The Uncle Evangelists'' can say just what they please, but the rest of you beware ! 7. By teaching that you can be con vetted aud regenerated before, you joiu the church, thus ignoring baptism. 8. Using hard names as "polecatt of hell;" it is an insult to the atom? mens of Christ. He died for tin souls of all men and no minister dare theiefore say any mau for whom Christ died is a polecat of hell, or "you polecat ot hell," for Christ did not Oie for such. 1). By getting tabernacles built they cau3e money to be spent thar could aid institutions of mercy and do more good. 10. Having laymen preacb,as well as ministers, is ouly injurious, as it ignores ordination. 11. That stories of 'sintol lives shameful conduct, etc., as told by certain evangelists, are calculated t good, why not they also, aud almost; make one believe that iu order to be good or great, it was necessary to ; get drunk, etc. 12. They only at the best can start men in a better course, and it it takea ten ministers and an audi ence of 5000 to convert a man, it will take even more to keep him faithful, and when all is gone and the evangelist is gone, he goea back . harder to reach than ever, by bot't the regular ways aud the extraordi nary aud unusual. Now, in God's name, these prop ositions are laid down for discuss ion. I am set for the defense ot the church, her regular ministry, her regular worship, etc., iu preference to every form of so-called modern j evangelism. May God correct the j evils of the system and bring to himself honor and toHis holy church more of her rights in this move. Ezek. xxxiii, 7, Matt, xxviii, 30. Re spectfally submitted, F. W. E.

When she had Children, she gave them Castoiir Praise. Some dislike praise. Perhaps it is a strange taste ; but we like it or, to speak truth, we feel sure that we would like it, and that wo would come to love it dearly. It is even a sweet thing to think upon. Of course, there woald be times and p'aees for praise. For praise is like a kiss delec table; but not to be offered in pub lic.
