from Acts 1IL 15: "Wo nro Witnesses,"
Mnndlnff nmld the hills nml proves of
Kentucky, nml this prc.it
that no limn can number, most of
whom I never niw before nml never
will iseo njjnln in this world, I chooso n
scry jirnctlcnblo tlicinc. In the dnys
of (5eor(,'o Stephenson, the perfector of
the locomotive engine, the scientists
proved conclusively that n railroad
train could never be driven by steam-pow
er successfully w ithout peril; but
the rushing express trnlns from Liverpool
to Kdlnburgh, nndfrom IMInbnrgh
to London liavo made nil tho nntlon
witnesses of tho splendid achievement.
Machinists and naf igators proved conclusively
that a steamer could never
cross the Atlantic ocean; hut 110 sooner
had they successfully proved tho impossibility
of such an undertaking than
the work was dono nml the passengers
on tho Cunard and the Inman and the
National and tho White htnr lines arc
witnesses.
Thcro went up n guffaw of vIm
at l'rof. Morse's proposition to make
the lightning of Heaven his errand boy,
and it was proved conclusively that tho
thine could never be done; but now all
the news ot the wide world put In your
hands every morning1 nml night have
xnnde all nations witnesses.
So in tho time of Christ It was proved
conclusively that it was impossible for
him to rise from the dead. It was shown
logically that when a man was dead he
was dead, and the heart and tho liver
nnd the lungs having ceased to perform
their oftlces tho limbs would be rigid
beyond all power of friction or arousal.
They show ed It to be ah nlisolutn
that tho dead Christ should ever
get upamc;but no sooner had they
proved this than the dead Christ arose
and the disciples beheld him, nnd heard
His voice, nnd talked w 1th Hlm.nnd they
took tho w itness stand to prove that to
bo true which the w Iseacres of the day
had proved to be Impostilile; tho record
of the experiment nnd of tho
Is In tho text! "Him hath 5od raised
from the dead, whereof we ..re wit-'
neses.
Now, let mc play tho sceptic for n
moment. "There is no Rod,' says the
sceptic, "for I have seen him
w ith my physical eycMght Your ltiblo
is a pack of contradictions. Thero never
was a Lawns was not
raised fron. tho dead, and tho water
was nevsrr turned into wine. Your re
ligion is an imposition on the credulity
tho nges." Thcro is an aged man
'moving In that pew ns though lie would
like to respond Hero are hundreds of
people with faces a little flushed at
these announcements and all through
this throng there is a suppressed feeling
which woutd like to speak out in
behalf of tho truth of our glorious
Christianity, as in the days of the te.xt,
crying out, "Wo aro witnesses!"
Tho fact is, that if this world is ever
brought to God it will not be through
argument but through testimony.
You might cover the whole earth w Ith
npologles for Christianity and learned
treatises In defense, of religion you
would not convert a soul. Lectures on
the harmony between science and religion
aro beautiful mental discipline,
but have never saved a soul, and never
will save n soul. I'ut n man of the
world and a man of the church against
each other nnd the man of tho world
will in all probability, get tho triumph.
Thero are a thousand things in our religion
that seem illogical to the world,
nnd always will seem illogical.
Our weapon in this conllict Is faith,
not logic; faith, not metaphysics; faith,
not profundity; faith, not scholastic
exploration. Hut then, in onlcr to havo
faith, we must hao testimony, and if
600 men, or 1,000 men, or .'.00,000 men,
or 5,000,000 men get up and tell me they
have felt tho religion of Jesus Christ a
Joy, a comfort a help, an inspiration,
I am bound as a fair-minded man to accept
their testimony. I want just now
to put before you three propositions,
tho truth of which I think this audience
will attest with overwhelming
unanimity. Tho first proposition is:
We nro witnesses that the religion of
Christ is able to convert a soul. Tho
Gospel mny have had a hard time to
conquer us, wo may havo fought It
back, but we were vanquished. You
sny conversion is only an imaginary
thing. Wo know better. "Wo are
There never was so great a change In
our heart and life on any other subject
ns on this. I'cople laughed at the missionaries
iu Madagascar because they
preached ten years without ono convert;
but there aro many thousands of

because ho kept on preaching
In Hurmah five years without a single

of Iluptists In liurmah to-day. People

China, for preaching there sev

"We nro witnesses." Wo arc so proud I
thnt no man could have humbled ns: ' '
we were so hard that no earthly power
could hnvo melted us; anirels of

not overeomo us; hut ono day, perhaps
nt n Methodist. anxious seat, or at a
Picsbyterian catechetical lecture, or nt

seized us and made us get down, and
made us tremble, nnd made us kneel,

tried to wrench ourselves away from

his fellow mountaineer, the Inst words
on his ly In? lips being' "Kreo Grace!
Oh, it wns frto grace'"
Thero Is h man who was for ten years
n hard drinker. Tho dreadful appetite
had sent down its roots around tho
pulnte and the tongue, and on down until
they were interlinked with the vitals
of tho body, mind and soul; but he has
not taken any stimulants for tw o yenrs.
What did that? Not temperancu societies.
Not prohibition luws. Not

"Why," suld ono upon whom tho great

a tea niplaln who swore nil tho way

pnrents here who are willing to testify
to the power of this Gospel to comfort.
Your son had just graduated from
school or college and was going into
business and the Lord took him. Or
your daughter had just graduated from
a young ladies' seminary, and you
thought she was going to be a useful
woman, and of long life: but the Lord
took her, and you were tempted to say:
"All this culture of twenty years for
nothing!"
Or the little child came home from
school with the hot fever that stopped
not for the agonized prtyer or for the
skillful physician, and the little dilld
was taken. Or tho babe was lifted out
of your arms by some quick epidemic,
and you stood wondering why God ever
gave you that child at alL If so soon He
was to take It away. And yet you are
not repining, you aro not fretful, you
nre not fighting against God. What enabled
you to stand all tho trial "Oh,"
you say, "I took the medicine that iod
gase my sick soul. In my d-stress I
threw myself at the feet of a sympathizing
God; and when I was too f eak
to pray, or to look up. He breathed
into me a peace that I think mnst te
the forestate of that Heaven
there is neither a tear nor a farewt..
nor a grave," Come, all ye who hate
been ont to the grave to weep there-
come all ye comforted souls, get up ci
your knees. Is there no power in the
Gospel to soothe the heart7 Is there
no power in this religion to quiet the
worst paroxysm of grief? Therecomes
up an answer from the comforted widowhood,
and orphanage, and childless
ness, saying: "Ay, ay, wo a-e

wo are witnesses of the fact tilt

stage at Vienna by the friends of her rival,
AnreliaStelnlnger.who had already
begun to decline through her dissipation.
Years passed on, and ono day Mme.
Sontng, in her glory, was riding through
the streets of Berlin, when sho saw a
little child leading a blind woman, and
she said. "Come here, my Uttlo child,

great singer, but she lost her voice, nnd
sho cried so much about it that she lost
her eyesight" "Give my love to her,"
said Mme. Sontag, "and tell her nn old
acquaintance will call on her this afternoon."
The next week in Berlin a vast assemblage
gathered at a benefit for that
poor blind woman, and it was said thnt
Sontag sang that night ns she had never
sung before. And she took a skilled
oculist who in vain tried to give eyesight
to the poor blind woman. Until
the day of Amelia Stclninger's death,
Mme, Sontag took care of her and her
daughter after her. That was what the
queen of song did for her enemy. Hut

"Well. Mr Quny?"
Tho Interrogation Is mnde by a re
publican journal, which pauses for reply,
nnd, doubtless, wilt long continue
to pause. The questlLii is prompted by
the attitude of many Influential republicans
of Pennsylvania, who hnvo
expressed the opinion that Quay's
chnrncterand methods nro such that ho
ought not to continuo in tho leadership
of the republican party of Pennsylvania.
Wcro ho to withdraw thence It
would follow as tho night the day that
he would bo compelled to nbandon tho
ehloftnlncy of the republican national
executive committee In such plnco
ho conducted the ennvass of laSS for
Benjamin Itnrrtson, nnd the Pennsyl
vania republicans, assembled In convention
the noxt yenr, declared that
the glory of tho victory was Quay's
It would le 11 gross insult to millions
of honest and respectnbto republicans
to dcscrlbo Matt Quay as tho nverngo
republican. He is, turnover, the typical
managing republican politician,
who gets money by indirection and
spends It corruptly. There nro heavy
moral Indictments against Quay. Both,
as treasurer and ns secretary of state
for the commonwealth of Pennsylvania
ho was nn nstntcr John Bnrdsley, for
while "Honest John" dospottcdr tho
Philadelphia treasury, speculated and
lost nnd pajs the penalty in solitary
penal confinement honest Mntt wns
successful In saving himself from nil
chargo of technical embezzlement In
political activity he was tho tlon of the
Harrison campaign. Among tho jack
als was tho present postmaster gen
eral. It Is not noted that tho repub
lican journals now querying "Well,
Mr. Quay?" nro hinting "Well, Mr.
Wannmaker?"
Since he.cntt'red tho senate of tho
United States no Imputation has been
made upon Quay's Integrity as n member
thereof. He has not trafficked In
his official position. He has not asked
for a share In the plunder of a pending
measure nnd promises to bo no deadhead
In the cnUrprUe. He has not got
In on tho ground floor of corporations
owing their chance of
to tho favorablo legislation of congress.
Ho has not taken stock in any
n w Credit Moblller or Northern Pa
cific, or b'ort Scott & Littlo Bock, and
paid for it with tho twinkto of tho
speaker's eyo or the tap of the speaker's
gavcL Ho lias cast no legislative
Hitehora to tho windward. At least no
legislative Inquiry has developed wh
prostitution of tho power of official
placo on tils part We do not find,
however, that republican journals aro
putting forth tho inquiry: "Well, Mr
Blalno?"
On the contrary, most of these journals
aro endeavoring to show that if
the republican nominating convention
were held to-day Mr. Blalno would assuredly
bo selected ns the true standard
bearer, and Mr. Harrison woutd be left
his lone watch keeping. Official dishonesty
has not been charged among
Mr. Harrison's shortcomings. He has
been, and, despite tho verdict of tho
country rendered last November, continues
to Is?, a servant of protection.
This position he defends on party
grounds oven upon allegation1 of principle.
He accepts seaside cottages and
sumptuous special trains Ho Is a
spoilsman. But no legislative investi
gating committee ever ascertained, nor
has there ever been a hint that they
should inquire in thai view, that as n
legislator he sold his vote for stocks
and bonds. Nor, having no profession,
has ho become a millionaire in a public
service never generous in its
Harrison is not magnetic. Ho Is
aeither alert nor astute. Not until
long after his wily secretary of state
had discovered that it woutd le well to
coat tho pill of protection with the
sugnr of reciprocity did he discover the
value of the trick. In the politician-managed
republican party Mr. Blaine
is at a premium, Mr. Harrison at a discount
Just so long as the legal maxim concerning
tho turpitude of the receiver as
compared witli tho thief shaii express
tho truth just so long will Matt Quay
he as respectable as Ben Harrison,
They are typical managing republicans
both. Adroitcr than either, Mr. Blalno
is of the same general type 'While
Blaine holds his place in the republican
party there is no reason why Mntt
Quay should step down and out Ho
has less repute but more honesty than

rid ot all the money, if possible. Ho
tells how, with ingenious aid from tho
war department nearly 23,000 claims
were disposed of in that time against a
possible 1,030 under the less Ingenious
and effective system under which tho
bureau was formerly operated. Hero
is good matter of boasting when tho
able commissioner cames to toll the old
soldiers face to face how good he has
been.
Tho truth seems to bo that a certain
kind of economy the economy of do-lay
and postponement was practiced
when thcro was an excellent prospect
that the treasury would bo In a tight
placo beforo the end of the year, and
that when the bookkeeping device for
increasing tho balance was perfected
the bureau force was set to work on
claims at breakneck speed to make
amends to the old soldier for tho previous
dilatory policy. The result is thnt
the commissioner is able to brag of
economy when addressing tho general
public and of prodigious diligence nnd
activity when addressing tho old soldiers
Thus tho pension office Is not run on
business principles, but partly for th"
accommodation of the psrpl'j.xti 1
ury department and In still greater
part for politlcul effect Tho kind of
economy practiced is not for thu good
of Uxpayers. Tho money ultimately
required to meet pension claims v.'U
not be ono dollar less on account of
delay in passing thorn, and it is
to bo considerably moro on no
count of the tremendous rush nt thu
end of the ye ir, which no doubt swept
on iu tho flood thousands of fraudulent
clultns. Chicago Herald.

A number of young women were at
work In tho rear of b littlo store In
Fourteenth street not fnr from Filth
avenue, tho other day, when two pretty
women entered. One, who looked as
if sho wore usually very nmlnble, was
quite cross just thon, mid scowled
ns n clerk ontno forward to wait
upon licr.
"Thoso gloves I bought here n short
time ago." sho said, Indignantly, "aro
made of tho shoddiest kind of material.
I don't understand how you camo to soil

reason to oxpect at least ordinary wearing

for n pair of gloves See, I tiave
only worn them half a dozen times, nnd
the thumbs nnd mlddlo fingers lu both
gloves nre full ot little holes In
bsothor day they won't stand putting
on nny more."
She held up her hands to prove her
statements nnd, sure enough, tho gloves
wcro wont ns she had described. The
clerk listened calmly to her, nnd when
she had finished ho said:
"I nm very sorry that you have had

nnd we therefore alwnys
mako amends to our customers. If you
will leave the gloves witli tue I will

"Wiy. cnu you do that?" asked tho
now moilfled young woman In surprise.
"Certainly," ssld the otork; "we en-'ago

"But won't the new fronts look different
from the rest of the glove?"
"Oh, no. Wo will giro you n new
pair if you nro not satisfied"
Tho woman left the glovos and went
away contented. There are awveral
stores lu town when gloves ar sold
under a guarantee to keep them In repair
for n certain tinm fro- of charge.
Ths sewing girls employed by them are
