Editor Journal:
While an article of this kind
may be a divertisemeut of the plan
upon which you propose- to con
duct the Journal, yet, at the same
sime a diversity in the make up
may meet the approbation, of
goodly number of your many read
ers. The subject is. one of vital
importance to the church of Christ.
One that has elicited much thought
and comment on the part of the
most faithful and humble Chris
tians from the days of Christ up
to the present time. The church
is spoken of symbolically as a
“vine,” and it is a well-known fact
that. the vines should be well
pruned in order to perpetuate their
health and vigor, that they may
bring forth good fruit. If this
pruning is* neglected the vines will
present tn unhealthy appearance,
and the fruit also will be material
ly affected. The disciple is to the
church, when properly applied,
what pruning is to the vines. It
cuts oif such of the “branches”
(members) as may have become
so contaminated with the things of
this world as to vender them odi
ous to the brotherhood, and detri
mental to the prosperity of the
church.
A question has arisen among pro
fessed Christians as to whether the
church has the right to exclude a
member, though lie be an avowed
heretic, or an habitual inebriate,
or alienated in any other paticalar
from the government of the
church and the affection of the
brotherhood.
It is a very trying tirao for the
church to be forced to the necessi
ty of excommunicating one of her
members. It may be a, near rela
tive, perhaps a brother, after the
order of consanguinity, yet the na
ture of the case is such that it be
comes absolutely necessary in or.
dor to save the church.
This is one of the trials of the
Christian faith. Let us pause
just here and listen toQvhat the
Apostle Peter says. ~ “Beloved
think it not strange concerningthe
fiery trial'which is to try you, as
though some strange thing had
happened unto you.”—1st Peter 4-
12. “For the time, lias come when
judgment must begin at the house
(church) of God and if it first be
gin at ns, what shall the end be of
them that obey uot the gospel of
God?”—17 verse. Here is scrip
ture authority for the church to
judge her members: “Judgment
must begin—” &c. We conclude
that it is absolutely necessary in
order to perpetuate the,. integrity
of the church.
Now hear what is said directly
to the church, at Corinth: "I
wrote unto you in an fcpistle not to
keep company with fornicators;
yet not altogether with the forni
eators of this world, or witii the
covetous, or extortioners, or with
idolaters; for then must ye needs
go out of the world. But now I
have written unto you not to keep
company—if any man that is call
ed a brother be a fornicator,
covetous, or an idolater, or a rail-
er, or a drilnkard, or an extortion
er; with such a one go not to
eat. For what have I to do to
judge them also that are without?
Do ye not j udge them that are with
in? but them that are without
God judgeth. Therefore put away
from among yourselves that wick
ed person.”—1st Cor. 6-9 to 13.
Now why is it that questions of
this kind should arise in the minds
of. men, when the scriptures are
so clear aud emphatic on the sub
ject, I cannot tell.
The church uot onlyHias the
right to “judge,” but it is her pre
rogative to expel any member who
does not “obey the gospel of God.”
It does seem that the above scrip
tures are too plain to be misunder
stood; however, we will quote what
is said to the Thessalonians, ?,—6.
“Now, we command you, breth
ren, iu the name of our Lord, Jesus
Christ, that ye withdraw your
selves from every brother that
walketh disorderly, aud not after
the traditions which he received
of us.” We think the above quo
tations nre sufficient to answer the
question in regard to the church
having the right to withdraw her
fellowship from a member; and in
part as to who to. withdraw from.
Wo will introduce one more wit
ness to establish the fact in regard
as to whom she may withdraw
from.
“Know ye uot that the unright-
! dom of God? Be not deceived;
] neither fornicators, nor adulterers,
I nor idolaters, nor effeminate
i abusers of themselves with man
kind, nor thieves, nor F covetous,
nor drunkards, nor reviiers, nor
extortioners, shall inherit the
Kingdom of God-”—IstCor.
6-9.
We have shown conclusively that
the church has the the right to
“judge” her members, and for
what causes they are to be judged;
but the question may here arise as
to how long she may bear with an
offending brothe.r We hold that
the church has no scriptural au
thority to bear with a member af
ter the second transgression, but
that she should deal with him ac
cording: to the magnitude of the
transgression.
We are not left to guess at this
matter, for the scriptures are plain
and pointed. Hear what the emi
nent apostle says to the church at
Corinth:
“This is the third time I am
coming to you. In the mouth of
two or three winesses shall every
word be established. I told you
before, and foretell you, as [if I
were present, the second time; and
being absent now, I write to them
which heretofore have sinned, aud
to all others, that if I come again,
1 will not spare.’’-2nd Cor. 13-1-2.
Now we- see that the apostle
positively declares that he “will
not spare” for the “third” offense.
All offenses may be classed as her
esy, either'in doctrine, practice, or
deportment. The latter, however,
is the .most common. AT hat is
said in regard to heresy? We
quote Titus, 3-10:
“A man that is a heretic, after
the first and second admonition
reject”
Hero are two witnesses testify
ing to (lie very same 'point, and it
is “m the mouth of two or,.three
witnesses, every word shall be es
tablished.” This establishes the
fact, that if a brother will not be
reproved, after tlie second admo
nition he is to be (to the church)
as a “heathen and a publican.”
Sue is to have up communion
whatever with him. The great
trouble in the administration of
the discipline, is a failure to dis
criminate between “a fault” and a
confirmed habit. 1 There is a vast
difference between a fault and a
habit.
The first preacher of righteous
ness was overtaken in a fault. He
raised a vineyard, made his wine,
and unfortunately got drunk.
This was simply a fault, not a
habit. We have uo account hf his
being in the habit of getting drunk,
or that he ever got. drunk any
more.
Here is a good lesson taught—
not that a brother is at liberty to get
drunk top, no! no! but if he per
chance, should do so, lie should
follow the example of poor old
Noah; never do so any more.
That’s the lesson taught.
If a brother should get drunk
for half a dozen times, and each
time make a confession to the
church 1 he would be no less a
confirmed drunkard than he would
be had he not made a confession;
and the church would be a par
taker of his evil deeds. If a broth
er be overtaken once or twice, it
may be denominated “a fault,” but
if more frequent it becomes a hab
it; and in most instances, a con
firmed one.
The church should never toler
ate confirmed habits of such mag
nitude as would impeach her in
tegrity; while at the same time she
should manifest a spirit of for
eness, until forbearance ceases
to be a virtue
Hear what is said to the church
at Gallatia.—6-1:
“Brethren, if a man be over
taken in a fault, ye which are spir
itual, restore such an one ia the
spiritof meekness.”
This is addressed to - the general
brother hood—the church; but it
does not conflict with the scrip
ture cited above; but rather con
firms the fact that the church
should forgive an offending brorh-
er at least twice, if he makes con
fession, except it be for bigamy.
Neither does this conflict with
what is taughtin St. Mathew, when
Peter came to Christ and said:
“Lord how oft shall my brother
trespass against me, and I forgive
him; till seven times seven? Jesus
saith unto him, I say not unto thee,

heart failed while engaged in its

flesh might be'rltplenished. How
important then that the great
stream of life be-kept pare and its

There is no doubt that bad man

with bringing about the present
Indian' war. The secretary of tbe
Interior, however, resents the
charge that the Indian bureau has
been mismanaged, or that it has
been known to be incompetent.
But Deputy Commissioner Rob
ert V. Belt is quoted as saying that
tbe food question lias had a. good

In the year 1883 the corn pack
Maine aggregated 8,364,000
cans. This so overstocken the
market, avers the Chicago Times,
that it was fully two or three
years before it fully recovered trom
the effects. In 1887 the pack was
as gold, and the amount used for
tills purpose aloDe lias grown to be
enormous. The demaud, together
with the increased cost of produc
tion, has caused the price to ad
vance about 150 per cent, in eigh
teen months. Iu each sixteen-
candle power lamp there are from
four to eight grains of platinum.

eighty lamps. Based on the in
creased nse of incandescent lamps
within the last two years, it is safe
to state that the demand for six
teen-power lamps, or their equiva
lent, in the year 1891 will be 10,-
000,000. This means a demand for
125,000 ounces of platinum, which,
at the present price, will amount
to considerably over 82,000,000 for
this item alone.
“The history of platinum,” con
tinued the electrician, “is quite as
interesting as its qualities are re
markable. During the sixteenth
century it was found with gold in
the Darien mines, but tlie Spanish
government, which controlled the
mines, did not make known the
discovery of this new mhite metal,
as it was found so be a good mate
rial with which to adulterate gold.

ered about 1832, and have been
worked, in connection with gold
mines, by the Russian government
since-1830. Owing to the large
yield of gold, the platinum was for
a long time sold cheaply, but, with
the growing scarcity of gold, the
cost of producing the other metal
increased.

supply of food had not been fur
nished the Indians would have
been satisfied with what they were
getting, aud there would have been
no indications of dissatisfaction so
far as food was concerned
And perhaps there would have
been up war. Now that the war
lias been begun it is impossible to
predict with any degree of certain
ty where it will end, or how many
lives will be lost. Old Indian
fighters say that the present In
dian war promises to be the great
est of all the Indian wars iu which
the country has engaged. It hni
already been prolific of horrors.
The government has fonud it nec
essary to suspend one officer, aud
it rauy order a thorough investiga
tion of the shooting of Indian wo
men iind children.
It is true, of course, that the In
dians are treacherous and difficult
to manage. For that reason the
government ought to be all the
more careful in the management
of them. It ought uot to give them
an excuse for inaugurating a war—
a war in which will be occorded
very little glory, however bravely
and successfully the army may
fight. The criticisms on tba war
in the foreign press have been any
thing but complimentary to the
government.
Of course, the war having begun
it must go cu until the government
forces the hostiles back upon the
reservations and restores peace.
But it is sad to think bow much
suffering must be endured, and
how many lives must be lost, be
fore that can be done.

An amusing example of the ex

prominent farmer of Lafayette

he owed the 8260 sure enough. It
