TOB -Y7UOHE; iO.-A'X'X.-Sr HXECUT} :» AT THIS OFFICE 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, Costliest of Common Metals. V Washington Post. “What do you suppose is the nor the general brotherhood.

Take no other. There is no doubt that bad man agement ofjthe affairs of the In dians has had a great deal to do 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 deal to-do with the Indian troub les. According to his story, about 50 per cent, more food was fur nished for many months by the government to the Sioux than they ! were entitled to. They consumed Three of the candidates for the f.

And the redaction was made at a time when the drought had caused nn almost en tire failure of the crops. AVas it not bad management that permitted a greater supply of food to be furnished than the contract with the Indians called for? If the affairs of the Indians had been carefully looked after by competent agents, the mistake would not have occurred.

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. If six grains are taken as an aver age, one ounce would be usecLin 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. The deposits of platinum in the Ural mountains, whence the sup- 14,000,000 cans; in 1SS8 it was also j P'- v is mostly drawn, were discov- large; in 1889 and 1890 about 12,- 000,000 each year, aud yet we hear nothing of over-prodnetion. It is evident that the market for this kind of goods is growing. 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. “A well-known chemist says that without platinum crucibles, which snare the infusibility of porcelain The Kennebec (Me.)

Very few people iu this country are probably aware that pure plat-- and neglect of duty. If the extra 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. Edward Atkiusou, the Boston statistician, uttered au epigram that, in the estimation of the Chi cago' Tribune, deserves a long life, when he said: “There are two things needed in these days. First, for rich men to find oat how poor men live; aud, second, for poor men to know how rich men work.” Au American firm is shipping to Germany 860,000 worth of boring tools and oil well snpplies, with which a German syndicate will drill experimental wells.

When I asked him how he was progressing, he showed me a boob, in which he had the names of 1,700 men who had said they i?ould vote for him. On election day that man received just 123 votes.
