-@esirability of a belief in Christ, -bet-+ a te The Daily Transcript te ——_— Sunday, March 25, 1877. anna To-day is the time set apart by the followers of Christ for worship and rest. A good many rest om Sunday, who do not follow Christ. A good many follow Christ’s teachings in the main, who never attend church, ands good many attend church regularly, gyho do not follow Christ's teachings. Itis hard to determine who are Christians.on the Sabbath day. It isstill harder to deterniine 4 _——_ whether Christ is prouder of some who profeas to follow-him, than he ig of others who profess nothing, yet live an upright moral life. Judging by church ereeds, however, there: is no difficulty in making sich 9 de-) cision, ‘Many teachers of the Gospel declare that a moral man is worse than a devil. Higinfluence is moze pernicious upon the commupity. He affords the unbelievers an argu‘ment to prove that a profession of. faith is not necessary to make an honest man, an wpright citizen and '@ good neighbor. We suppose a justice. One day ought not to make . go much difference to the Creator of Eternity, and the truth is it does not. We can assure even the devout minister of the Gospel, that the evil he does, the sin he has committed will ‘be punished, and his profession will not save him any more than his fellows. If the most, devoted Christian sticks his finger in the fire it will burn, no matter how much he prays for relief. if he transgresses the moral, law: he must suffer the penalty, and no one willintervene to prevent it. The Creatér established laws-for all alike, and the breakers of them will all saffer the penalties, no matter. how much they repent. After they have: suffered the penalties they will be released from soffering, whether they have been bap= tizedor not. He who does good, tellect, gets in harmony with nature, -and-obeys-hor-laws,.will ba happy, and he who does not will never be, though he may wear his knees out in asking forgiveness. That is our idea of religion, and that is the belief of nine ont of ten of the people of Christian countries to-day, John D. Lee will suffer the penalty of the murderer, notwithstanding’ he died expressing his full reliance upon the mercy of God. ter, by comparing the most barden= ed: sinner with the —:most—devout} ’ Ohristian, than he can by drawing a _eomparison between a strictly moral . man-and the average church member. Morality, says the church, amounts to nothing, unless you believe and ‘be baptized. Good works avail nothing unless you have faith. ‘ Faith is the all important thing. Repent, welieve and havo faith, and all is woll. On Priday last, the leader of, @ band of religious efthusiasts, who, some twenty years ago, shot, butcbered, beat out the brains, snd cut ‘the throats of 134 peaceable overlaud emigrants, paid the penalty of his erime by being shot, over the graves of his innocent victims. Reason would dictate that such a man ought _ to receive more punishment in« the world to come, than a astraightforward, upright, charitable, moral. man, who chanced not to believe all _ the dogmas ofthe church. But the Church says no. The Lord says in Isaiah, ‘‘though your sing be as scar‘Jot, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool,"’ provided you vepent, and believe and have faith, The telegraph says John D. Lee died without fear, and expressed his full reliance’ upon the mercy of God. According -to the established doctrine, this fiend in human shape will go straight to heaven, and sit on the right hand of the throne among _the angels, while in the pit of hell: some of his victims who relied upon morality, and honest purposes in life fo save them, will writhe and gnash their teeth for ever more. Thisto ordinary minds would seem unjust, but we are told that the ways of Providence are inscrutable and past finding out. Reason is an unsafe guide in such matters, says. the ‘Oburch, but faith will remove mountains. We suppose the Church will say that faith withont works is good for nothing; that evil things must be put away. Evil doers must learn to do well; to relieve the oppressed; judge the fatherless; plead for the widow, etc. But how isa murderer after he is locked up ina cell guing to doall these things? All he can do is to repent and believe: The Bible assures him that the eleventh hour isas good as-any, and deathbed repentances are supposed to be tolerably efficacious. If not, why advise them to be made? If the teachers of the Gospel don’t believe in ’ them, why deceive the dying man by holding out false hopes to him und assuring him that Christ is always ready to forgive, evon at the hast breath he draws in life, If such repentances are as effectual as the “dying mao is }ed to believe, what inducement is there for the strong and healthy to live a self sacrificing ife, and to deny themselves ef the . things they covet, whenthey can put it off to the last moment and be just . . as welloff? But, it may be replied, tbata man muy defer the thing a ‘day too long; that death may come upon him likes thief.in the night, aud when he awakes, he may fina himself among the damned. Such a theory, if true, doés not give an exalted opinion of the mercy and justice of God. ‘If a man van by re-. peuting to-day save his soul, and by neglecting to repent ill to-morrow, {ose it, it would look very little like a Goeal “Brevities, — _ Remember Prof. Plummer’s entertainment on°Monday night, and give hima good audience.

There is a dog at the Delta saloon that knows vastly more than some bummers, One of his delights is to play with a little rubber-ball. This ball is hollow and has a hole through the exterior. Night before iast one of the frequenters at the saloon thought to play a trick on this canis major by filling the ball with whiskey giving itto him to play with. The dog took it, dropped it and sneezed, He then rolled it over with his paw, and looked at it. Assured by its ap‘pearance that all was right, he again picked it upand again dropped it, rolledit over and sneezed atit. He then picked it up and carried it to the water-bucket standing in the corput in even a dog’s mouth.— Virginia Enterprise. ! -_ — Sux was.an angel blonde, and she tripped through the market until she reached the stall of ahandsome butcher. *‘Have you a ‘beart?’’ she said, blushing timidly, ‘‘Have Ia heart, Miss?’’ responded the butcher, “do you think that I can watch you day after day and see your eyes droop as they meet mine—that I can feel your velvet breath upon my cheek as I stoop over to serve you-—-and not “Yes,""she sighed, faintly, ‘‘this is beautiful, thisis divine, but it ain't the kind I want this morning; so give me a bullock's heart, quick, and trim it for stuffing, or my old man’ll be raising Cain if his dinner ain’t cookei, : on a pretty you I fondly remarked: Avoutd that’ had thy eyes me mirror to shave by.” ‘‘Excuse me," said she, “I allow no shavers of your of the stock raised-on the ranges. of). already in from European shippers, . and it is thought the Company can] . 2. votice found clsewhere-it—will. pany have surrendered their organi-. have_taken stock, and.we believe} ner to wash it off and make it fit to]. have a heart?
