Frank" Horn has returned from Neiisviile, Wis., exhaling an agreeable aroma of turpentine and piney woods. Sergt. Horn has been happy, though absent. He has taken pleasant driven after ox teams prof fered by prominent NeUsvillans; he has banqueted sumptuously upon white beans, cooked under the ground and a hot brick; he has chopped down sap lings w.th the heroic grace of Glad stone or George Washington. These recreations, however, were merely in cidental to Serat. Horn's official mis sion. Neiisviile claimed the sergeant as a witness in the famous; local cause of NeJsville and the state of Wiscon sin vs. Sam Caw ley and Eva Green. The case is still on trial. Sam is a well known citizen of the Wisconsin vil lage who has restrained his energies for some years wh.le deciding upon a life profession. Miss- Eva Green was a maid servant in the household of Da vid Woods. The latter, a prominent Neilsvtlllte, gave a social function last March. Mr. Cawley attended." So also did Ole Johnson, a stranger from the adjacent woods. The stranger, unac customed to the frappe of society, quickly became confused, somnolent, dead to the world and Neiisviile. While he slept M.ss Green, like another Deli lah, deprived Mr. Johnson of his wallet and $275. But, like' still another scrip tural personage, she pleaded that the Evil One begu-led her, said Evil One. being Mr. Cawley, the undecided. Sam flew with Eva, and the money Hew also, for, when the couple were ar rested in St. Paul on March 29 by De tective McGuiggan their consolidated assets were but $59. It was to swear to these facts and anything else which might augment the romance of the tale, that Sergt. Horn laid aside for two whole days the crown and scepter of desk sergeant at the central police station. PRISON REFORM WORK I'lNciiHsed at the Plymouth Con- relational Church. At the Plymouth Congregational church, yesterday afternoon, services were held in the interest' of prison re form work. Rev.

Dr. Millard In troduced Dr. Helen W." Bissell, who spoke upon "Reformatory Methods for Women." Dr. Bissell was for a num ber of years connected. in the capacity of a physician, with the woman's re formatory of Massachusetts, the only state institution of its kind in this country, and spoke interestingly upon her experiences. H. H. Hart, secretary of. the state board of corrections and charities, de livered a short talk on "Prison Re form, In Connection. With the Minne sota State Penitentiary." . Mr. Hart's remarks, though brief, outlined the methods employed at Stillwater In a very concise manner. DRAWING BOGUS DRAFTS. Chief Clark Notiiied of the Opera tions of an i 111 poster.

NICLAUS BOLT RID* HIS CONGREGATION FARF WELL. TO WORK IN CHICAGO. LAST SERMON OF THE PASTOR OF BETHLEHEM GERMAN CHURCH. D. R. NOYEST WORDS OF PRAISE. A I.arg-e Congregation Present at the Closing: of a- Popular Pas tor?* Work. Rev. Niclaus Bolt last evening bade farewell in the pretty Bethle hem German Presbyterian church to that congregation. The event was one which cannot fall to live long in the memory of those in attend ance. Every available space in the edifice was occupied; everything had been done to make the evening a beautiful as well as memorable one. The music was excellent,, several Instruments having been added to the choir, while the singing of the congregation appeared to be inbued with unusual fervor. Palms and the choicest of flowers ornamented the sanctum and all those who addressed the congregation had none but the kindest and warmest words for the departing pastor. Among those who spoke words of regret, as well as of cheer, was D. R. Noyes, whose remarks were In the English lan guage. Mr. Noyes in a brief man ner recalled the creAtion of the con gregation, the building of the church, its growth, and called the attention of all to the high position it now' holds among- the city's most, prom inent denominations. Concluding, the speaker said: "Your dear pastor leaves you. But he leaves for a larger field in the work for Christ Jesus. The power on high which calls him away out of your midst will not leave you. It will remain forever. It is the same power that guided you and your Christian work from the beginning, and will shower its blessings upon you in the future — in all eternity. He who was s*ent by God to call into ex istence this growing congregation, he whose life has been, devoted to ward your religious welfare, he. who has done so much for you and yours, will be with you no more. But do not despair. Thank Him from whom all blessings flow and . have flowed so generously that He has seen fit to take him into larger fields to promote, to advance the cause of God and Christianity." After the offertory, the pastor as cended the pulpit and spoke, in part, as follows: ,_ ";^ t l. ... . ... "And now, dear brethren, I com mand thee to commend yourselves unto God and to His gracious word, and to give inheritance unto all, who are powerful and- are sacred. Our text- Is taken from an impressive description. Paul was about' to leave for Jerusalem^ but loving arms en circled him and refused his depart ure. 'Why weep thee and thus break : my heart,' . cried, the apostle, and as the multitude saw that nothing could ; induce him to remain, they wept no more, saying, 'Thy will, O Lord, be done.' Ami an apostle? No. Are you an apostolic congregation? No. But through all these 7 many ; cen turies whenever pastors and con gregations part there repeats itself a little of that which occurred so long ago on the coasts of Minor Asia, and such j a feeling \ exists here tonight. We feel as they did, who hung with 1 body and soul on the greatness -of the real, the great apostle Paul; our sensations are alike in this sad part ing hour. Many various questions have advanced themselves upon me why, Indeed, I should ; leave this promising congregation. • I may an swer all of them in the same manner as did Paul. I feel in my spirit that I must go to Chicago, where fresh and harder work awaits me. But, my friends, I have become, richer :in love, and appreciate more than ever tonight the love which surrounds me. What draws us all the- more firmly together is the fact that, we associated ourselves for the pur- : pose of creating and building up the parish. I look back upon the begin ning. I went to many of those who had promised assistance and saw much of the misery which existed among those who are with us to night. " They were as sheep without a shepherd." Mr. Bolt then spoke of the hardships connected with the beginning of his church. How he had been received with open arms by the Christian people of St. Paul. The readiness with which they aided him; how they have con tinued for eight years until he was en abled to erect the pretty edifice; his efforts to sustain the church now that he had it, dwelling at some length upon the many lectures he delivered in the city and elsewhere; the successes he had met with and the encourage ment he received everywhere. "The cross was a heavy one," he continued, "but It. was cheerfully borne, for It wa3 in the cause of Him who bore it for our salvation. But the hour of bidding you farewell is fast approaching. I go to take up the work in Chicago. I leave you, but this beau* tiful church will remain a monument forever." A few cheering words to the elders, and, with eyes growing dim arid a fal tering voice, the attentive listeners heard from the lips of their loved pas tor the sad "Lebt wohl." - Rev. Mr. Bolt will be associated with Rev. Dr. C. Webster Barnes, of the Sedgwick street church, near Lincoln park, Chicago. That congregation 13 one of the largest In the Garden City, and inasmuch as Rev. Bolt . has al ways manifested great Interest in the social reform movement and his new congregation being composed largely of the laboring classes, he expects to have splendid opportunities to advance his ideas. His work in Chicago will consist of conducting the services on Sunday morning only and the super vision of the Worklngmen's institute connected with that church. Mr. Bolt holds a last reception this evening in the church, between the hours . of ft and 7:30, when he will be pleased to meet all of his St. Paul friends, for the last time. He leaves on the Omaha at 8 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Bolt desires to ac knowledge the receipt from E. F. Lemke and Mrs. . Swanson of many beautiful floral offerings. v ■,<!:}•, EVANGELIST DAVIDSON- ; Befflns n Series of Meetings on the Hill. Rev. E. E. Davidson, the evangelist, of Boston, who has been conducting re f . . THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: MONDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 28. 1893. vlval services In this city during the last two weeks, . Inaugurated a series of meetings at the Park Congregational church,. Holly avenue and Mackubln street, last evening. These services, which are being held . under the aus pices of the Woodland Park Baptist, the Dayton Avenue Presbyterian and the Park Congregational churches, will continue throughout the present week. Each afternoon Rev. Davidson will hold- meetings at the Woodlawn Park Baptist church for ladles and children.. A consolidated chorus choir from the three churches furnished the music last evening, and the church "was well filled by representatives of the different congregations. -X Dr. Davidson took for his text: "What -shall a man give in exchange for his soul." His address was more in the nature of a plain statement of. his conviction than a sermon includ ing many illustrations to impress upon' his listeners the importance of the question propounded In the text. He said in part:. "I have not chosen this subject In an effort to appeal to your emotions; lr simply want to ap peal to your judgment, to consult with you upon a subject of far greater Im port to you than stock,, bonds and merchandise. The human soul Is born for an eternity. This fact alone should • cause us to consider well Its disposi tion, but how much more valuable does it become when we consider its wonderful capacity. Viewed In the na ture of a help, it Is a remarkable agent. It Is the center of life and ac tivity. To Its promptings are due our every act. and does it not behoove us to carefully consider Its welfare? The soul is created in the image of God. Think of the magnificent possibilities I of this statement. The Creator shows the value He places upon the soul by His marvelous plan for its salvation. We are told of the joy in heaven over one • sinner that repenteth, and yet we, many of us, take no thought for the preservation of that which is held in the highest value among the angels. "There are many reasons why men are disinclined to consider this ques tion. Wealth, ambition and the pur suits of pleasure all stand in the way. . I do- not mean, to say that the acquisi tion of wealth is a sin, but when the things, of "God are made subservient to the amassing of fortunes the com mand of the Creator is violated, and men must suffer the penalty of a brok en, law. "Ambition, properly guarded; is com mendable sentiment," but too often men are- Its slaves; the desire for power and | influence overcomes the care that should be exercised over our most pre cious treasure, and finally it is irre vocably lest. The punsuit of pleasure does not apply so strongly to men as to women. The strong-minded man | does not give himself to this sin. It applies particularly to women. The I love of pleasure is all very well in its j proper place. Pleasure as a recreation j is to be desired, but when it becomes a business it is a sin In the sight of God. j If there are those in this audience who j are making their main object in life a royal good time. I say to you you had better be dead. You are preparing yourself for the eternal society of lost souls in a company where prestige and position count for naught, and all are made to suffer for their folly. You - might be missed by some few friends, but long before the elements have ob literated your name from the tomb stone you will be forgotten by a world* for which you never did a commend able act." ' - ' After the general service a consecra tion meeting was held, for which a large number of the congregation re mained. The subject for this even ing will be: "Ye must be born again." OPERA AT TURNER HALL. Clever Performance "hy ''Mozart .Cluhand Danz Orchestra. '\ T The Mozart club «nd Danz's orches tra furnished a . choice programme at I Turner hall to a large and enthusias ; tic audience last evening. It was the I club's second appearance before the | public, and for the eventrSuppe's me ! lodious comic opera, "Die Flotte I Burschei" had been selected. Suppe's j music is always attractive and full of j i merit, and: at the hands of the carefully , selected cast received a remarkably i smooth rendition. The principal parts i were those of P. J. Glesen, who, as ! Hiranimus Geler, the miser, was ex- I cellent; Frank Werner, as Brand, Carl j Eve, Fleck, William Froemke, Herr j Frlnke, A. J. W Lufsky, who, en | trusted with the role of Anton, ac- I quitted himself admirably; John Wit- I maack, the Mine Host, and a newcom | er in St. Paul musical circles; Miss | Marie Rankin, as Lisette. Miss Ran ' kin certainly sang and acted her part In an artistic manner and captured her audience at a bound. It Is all the more remarkable, because It is the first time she has ever appeared in public. She was the recipient of a beautiful bouquet. Not too much praise can be bestowed upon the work of the chorus. When "Der Czar und Zlmmermann" was pro duced by the club last spring the chorus work of the performance stood out prominently above all else. It was a revelation and created no end of fa vorable enconiums. The same may again be said of last night's produc tion. .Too much praise cannot be be stowed upon the accomplishments of Prof. William Waenner. It is indeed seldom that better choruses appear here or elsewhere In professional com panies than that of the Mozart club, and the organization has every rea son to point with pride upon its work of last evening. The five numbers of the Danz or chestra were the "Oberon Overture." by Weber, "Mill In the Forest," Ellen berg, a grand selection from Weber's "Freischuetz," Kella Rela's pretty waltz, "Sounds from, Lucerne," and the overture from "Lohengrin " by Wagener.

A Methodist pastor known through out the West, preached last evening at the Central Park Methodist Episcopal church. He Is Dr. Richard Haney,- of Illinois,, although his title of doctor of divinity is rarely attached to his name by the many to whom the name has been familiar for almost three genera tions. £ '•* -'"- ' ■" - Mr. Haney Is the oldest active pastor In the Methodist church arid perhaps the oldest in this country. He was or dained in 1832, and for almost sixty three years he has been In the con stant service of his church. .He la eighty-six years old. It was in /Illinois that he began his life work, "and. It Vr there that he has detained an enduring reputation for ability and eloquence. Mr. Haney was long a presiding eider' which. In the Methodist church. is ' I much the. same as a bishop In other j j Churches. It was through Mr. Haney, j j more than forty years ago, that Dr. - William • McKinley, pastor of Central I I Park church, then a young Presbyter dan, was induced to enter the denomi || nation whose ministry he has , since adorned. ... Tall, erect, with broad chest, aquiline { ( nose, deep set eyes, and prominent, ex pansive forehead, Mr. Haney, despite | his grey beard and hair, might, assume ! to be a score of years younger than he ■ ; Is. .His sermon last night was devoted j chiefly to a review of the fulfillment of prophecy with reference to' the com' i Ing of Christ. He related' how Judah j was named to be. the divine progenitor and: was thus mantained, in himself I and' his descendants, as a leading spirit among the Jews. Mr. Haney's picture ■ of the circumstances of the Nativity, j was most effective, seizing, as it did, . ' ' j with the skill of a tried orator, upon I every point of contrasting humility and grandeur. ' ' . . Mr. Haney is the guest of Mrs. J. H. Murphy, of 516 Jackson street. He will return home within a few days. I. FRIENDSHIP OF THE WORLD, j ; Subject of it Practical Discourse _ by Rev. .1. W. Coniey. "The Friendship of the World" form- . j I ed the subject of a very practical dis- j | course -by the Rev. J. W. Coniey at | : the First Baptist church yesterday. j : morning, the text being selected from ' James lv., 21, "Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity 'with j God?" • ; : The preacher said that "this and kin ,' dred passages had often been misinter- ..-.. „ preted, but It was very Important that \ | we should understand them, because > I with whatever else we might be out of.*: { harmqny.-we need to be reconciled to : ; God; and this text plainly declares that , j If we are friends of the world. In the ! sense in' which this word friendship Is j j -used, we are not the friends, of God. ■' \ "The. friendship of the world that is ! j here condemned is not a desire to live | just as long as God will let- us live. ; God has put us in this world for a j purpose; he wants us here, and. as long | as He wants us here we ought to want: - - to be here There may come times | when we long to. lay, down the burden j of life because it presses so heavily j upon us, but this is not the normal j healthy condition of Christian life. ; Paul In his old age might well say that he longed to depart and be with. j Christ, which was far better. We ought not to be afraid to die, In the j sense: of . shrinking from or fearing ; . death, and yet I sometimes think that ' such a shrinking, in the case of a de- | i voted Christian, is an indication that i : the time has not yet come for him to . die, and that when the Master says to j him, 'It Is enough,', then, there will come to him a blessed peace, and he : will not.be afraid but glad to pass be- • yond. : "The friendship of the world- is a : cheat and. a delusion; it is giving j yourself' up to a false friend* who will " pamper you for a time and then out ' ■ rageously- deceive you in- the end; but | there la a friend who will stick closer j than a brother. If you will take Christ . as your friend, you will find a friend ' ship that will grow richer and brighter and more splendid as the years go by, t and a friend who will crown you with everlasting joy at the right hand of God in the life eternal." ; \ '■ ' FIRST SNOW FLURRY.

Oct. 27.— The Merchants Exchange today announced that no information has been received from the overdue vessels bound from this city to foreign ports. While there 1&- still hope of hearing from the Lord Spencer, which left here 200 days ago for .Queens (own; it is not believed that • the Star of Austria, bound for Queens town,. and the Earl of Hopetoun for Adelaide, will ever be heard from again. Although Lord Brassey has been out thirty-two days from Hong Kong to Port Blakely, her absence is accounted for by the fact that she is a light ship with a foul bottom. More than usual Interest. is centered in the Lord Spencer than any vessel has sailed from this port. When It was an nounced that the British underwriters were offering 80 per cent for re-Insur ance there was a rush to get some of the risks. The offer of the British un derwriters made business brisk for the brokers. No over-due vessel for many years has opened up so many trans actions as the Lord Spencer. Should the latter fail to arrive at her destina tion, the shipping and Insurance men of this city will be badly beaten. If, how ever, the Lord Spencer turns up within the next few days thousands of dollars will be raked In by the speculators.

PREPARATIONS FOR FUTURE Should He Made hy Everyone Who Desires to He Saved. !--■'■ Rev. James J. Wood preached an In teresting discourse at the . Cathedral yesterday morning on the importance of salvation. His text was: | 'What doth It profit a man to gain the whole world if he lose his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?" St. Matt, xvi 26 Father Wood said in part: "There Is no question so preg nant with interest to a thought ful man as the question of his soul's eternal welfare. Any change of opin ion on this momentous subject must at once influence the entire complexion of that, man's mind and; thoughts. If after struggling on in this, world for a few fleeting years, I am to cease utterly to be, then I am nothing— a mere gleam upon the wave, a mere snowdrop on the river, a mere soulless echo in. the forest; nothing more, .but if on deep reflection, I notice these very walls of my physical frame already fast crumble and decay; if reason with common sense declare that I am more than a mere streak above the waters of Time; if experience proves and Faith teaches that thy soul Is to live on and on throughout an end less eternity; to know and to be known, to love and to be loved, to act and to be acted upon as long as God shall be God, then is my soul, a most noble being, and its eternal salvation my no blest aim. See what the blessed Trin ity has done for our salvation. God, the Almighty Father, from out the range of countless possible creatures, has called me into being; has given me" a" body enriched with every natural per fection; a mind endowed with three vigorous properties, of memory, under standing-and will; reason capable to grasp and fit to hold His own exter nal truth. But beyond all these, He has given me a soul fashioned after His own very image and likeness— brilliant, immortal and indivisible. Then it was absolutely necessary, in the second place, that Jesus should be born In- a lovely manger home; that. He should live for thirty years with Mary and Joseph in the. sequestered cottage at Nazareth; that he should teach and preach and pray in all (3) years of His public life; that He should merit and satisfy, suffer blood and finally die for the saving of my single soul. Sanc tifying "grace, that supernal gift of the Holy. Ghost, must also pour into the soul, bringing manifold actual - graces preventing,, accompanying and effica cious, - else that solitary soul cannot be saved. *.. ' ,-. • "In a word, to be saved, my. soul must first be God's child., God's broth er, and must participate in- God's own nature. How priceless- in _: the sight of God, then, must, our Immortal souls b:, for whose eternal safety the most blessed Trinity lias labored so earnestly and unsparingly." V : The reverend gentleman then dis cussed at some length what the saints, "our own flesh and blood," have done to more certainly secure their eter nal salvation, and, continuing, asked: "What Is your assurance of the life beyond the grave? How heavy are your Investments; how shrewdly wise are you today in providing for that eter nal life*; --in depositing unearthly riches where neither rust nor moth consume, nor thieves through and steal? Fathers, and mothers, remember well, your immortal soul is your exclusive beneficiary; every . good work and heartfelt prayer your first and latest policy. Every act of sorrow from the heart is recorded- by Jesus in the gold en book of life, and will come back again to you with interest a hundred fold. : "Let us whilst yet the sunlight of God's favors falls, fast and thick around look into our very present thought and word and act. The open and back pages of your daily life are but illustra tions of what your future is to be. The platform of today must be your standard for tomorrow.' Yet foolish men will not believe that what now is only continue* for a season, and is not eternity. The end is the trial, the world- passes away; 'tis but a pageant and a scene, for the lofty palace crum bles, and whilst the busy city is mute on heart and flesh grim Death is creeping, and the veil has begun to break. Support us, O blessed Savior, in that last dark hour before the dawn, by the strong arms of Thy sacraments and by the fragrance of Thy holy con solations."' IS BOUND TO PREACH. Rev. J. C. Hull Not Dismayed Nor 'Cast Down. Rev. J. C. Hull delivered the first of his series of independent sermons at ' Conover Music \ hall yesterday afternoon to a fair-sized audience. The fact that his Methodist brethren recommended his suspension from the pulpit for one year is not going to prevent the reverend gentleman from, preaching once each Sunday. He will preach whether he has the permission to preach or not. Yester day he spoke on "The Power by Which We hold Onto God." There was the suspicion of a reference to his trouble in the opening, when he said: "This world is full of con flict.., Individual interests, govern mental interests, society interests, commercial interests all serve to perpetuate the battle which goes ceaselessly on, and doubtless will do so. Our duty is, not to end the war, but to adapt ourselves to it, and al ways fight to some . good achieve ment." The speaker, after a thank ful reference to the country gener ally, said: "The churches are doing a good work. The press Is doing a good work. The schools and benevolent societies are do ing good works. The whole fabric of society tends to promote the best In terests of humanity; but greater than all is that chord In the mind and heart and conscience of. man that under all circumstances clings to the Supreme Being. When this chord Is broken man is undone. He turns, t*q suicide; or, If too cowardly. to die, he becomes pessi mistic and says the world Is all gone wrong. There is no more honesty. There Is no more virtue. There Is no more soundness in society. There is no more dependence -In government. He may even quote Scripture to sus tain his position— There^la none that doeth good, no, not one.' It is manifest that one In such a case adds only weak ness to the society In which he is a factor. There is even a plausible the ory-of some philosophers that the ten dency to suicide Is a Providential pro vision to rid the human family of eia orients which have become unsound. On the other hand the man whose heart ami life clings to God can endure hardship.- He: can endure misfortune. He may. fall; but he rises again, and that with new courage, new hope, new L ambition, new ' Inspiration. What is true of the Individual In this respect is true also of the nation which is but an aggregation of individuals. We, as a nation were born amid adverse cir cumstances-^ helpless infant on the I rocky shores of the Atlantic. The very fact of our survival is evidence of extraordinary vitality. And what of the battles we have fought and won? Of the triumph of principle? What of our zeal, courage and national spirit? The secret of our success Is stamped on our coin, . 'In God we trust.' Misfortunes may sweep over the nation; but not disaster. Severe trial has come to us> : and may yet do so; but not ruin. Our strength lies not so : much in the fact that we could marshal great armies and defend ourselves valiantly against any fo?; but rather In the fact that we are a people with common, sympathetic interest in each other, and in our insti tutions. We can endure severe busi nrss depressions if we have hope in re turning prosperity. Man can rise from financial wreck or from any kind of reverse if there is something of Divin ity left In his nature. Two of the best illustrations of the greatness and godd ness of men who are not canonized as saints, are the two generals who con fronted each other at Appomattox at the conclusion of our civil war. Both had already made records which would forever put them among the first of "military leaders. Lee had been a great fighter. The bloody fields about Rich . mond, Manassas, Fredericksburg, An tletam and Gettysburg will long bear witness to his capability in battle. Grant had . shown himself invincible and had been transferred to the east ito settle the war. The lines were all converging, and the nation looked on after four years of unparalleled deso lation to see the conclusion. Both re alized that it would be a useless slaughter to fight, and on the afternoon of Palm Sunday, the 9th of April, 1860, these two great warriors sat down to determine the basis of settlement; and their spirit on that occasion Illustrates the best element of our national' char acter. The soldiers are poor and worn with long and. weary duties. The ' spring time is at hand and- the warrior must- turn to the. ordinary pursuits of life. He will need a horse or a mule to assist him at farming, and even such a trifle la taken into consideration by the two generals. It is, because of such divine Impulse In human hearts that we have been so. soon able to rise from the poverty and destruction of those bloody days, and prosper again as if we had not known war. - "Four months ago I was a member of a body of young people who- had as cended Lookout mountain on the south of Chattanooga in the early morning. Among us. were representatives, of all the Northern and Southern states. We were, the sons of the men who a gen eration before had fought on the fields of Missionary Ridge in front of us, and on the bloody field of Chfckamauga to our right and on Lookout mountain it self, a generation ago. .The scars and marks -of battle remain; on the trees and rocks to. this day. Many a brave boy from that time has carried a scar or ..a maimed limb till now; and we have not forgotten the occasion or the valor there displayed; but we have as sembled on another^ mission. We look ed across- Missionary Ridge at the ris ing sun^pcr. sang: .--All., hail the power of Jesus' name.' It was but another stage of the world's advance. I be lieve*" nobody has censured us, or felt that we were the less loyal' to those who fought on the field. We were only a part of a true-hearted people -who . have turned eagerly to peace and pros perity, and; thank God that the day of war and. strife is no more. The re cuperative power of the nation lies in Its moral tone, and In the great and good heartednsss of its people even more than in its. natural resources and its commercial relations." SHADOWS OF- LIFE Discussed by....Dr. ; Egbert at the House of Hope Church. Rev. John P. Egbert, D. D., preached an interesting sermon in the House of Hope Presbyterian church yesterday morning on "Shadows," his text be ing "Men see not the bright light which Is In the clouds."— Job xxxvii. 21. "Let us. not condemn the shadows," . said he, ; "and the darkness of this world. Let us use them. They have | a mission of goodness for us all, a mis sion of power. There is as much night as day in the physical world, and there i is as much i night as day in the. in tellectual and spiritual world. Dark . ness has In It the power to beget be liefs and. hopes as much as light has and knowledge, has. Aye, sometimes knowledge, misinterpreted, will defeat faith in what is good and lead a man Into evil because he .thinks, his knowl edge Is light when It may be darkness." Dr. Egbert proceeded to discuss the mysteries of life, and then said: "A year ago two young men were ' hung for murder in this city. In con versation with one of them one day I tried to make clear to him by what mo tive a true life could be lived. I thought I made it very simple, that the ideal was not high at all. It was what every one. of us ought to have In our every day life. - Not, as I preach to you, the life, but a low ideal that many of you live up to. And when I was through he said, 'But is there anybody In this world that ever lived such a life?' The absence "of any likeness to that in his own life made it impossible for him to see the possibility, even, of it. Now, how are we, , wlth-an Inheritance of sin, with a constant practice of it, with our selfishness to look up and see* God in all the purity, and greatness and per fectness of His life without any mys tery there? It is an utter impossibil ity. "But because there is mystery there shall we reject It? A fool might, for that, according to the bible, is a sign of folly. But no mortal being in his senses. la going to reject a thing be cause he does not; clearly understand it. because it Is. bordered with dark ness. "The experience of every one who truly walks in fellowship with Christ proves that there Is light for the soul that walks with Christ. It was so with the disciples, It was so with John who came to see In Him light that was the light of the world, who came to give the great definition of God, 'God Is light and In Him Is no darkness at all.' And you, Christians, who have gone down Into the very valley of the shadow of death with your best beloved, what has been your expe rience? Hasn't there come sounding In your ears from that man of light, 'I am the resurrection and the life?' And when the burdens of this life seemed more than your heart could bear, has not that great rich message, 'Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end,' come sounding Into your heart like a sign from heaven? The experience of every earnest Christian proves this statement. 2 Let that, then. He right at the beginning of our thought what to do with the shadows that He over life." : Strike on Gladstone Docks.

TOM LUCAS ALSO ABSENT, Rut There Were Speaker* anr Speaker* Ready to Speak. "W. W. Erwin did not appear at Stahl's ball last night to address the Debs club. Neither did T. Lucas. There was disappointment of course over the non-appearance of the Tall Pine, and the chairman apologized for it. He overlooked Mr. Lucas. In opening the meeting, which was quite well attend.d.the chairman ev idently forgot he was in Minnesota and addressed the audience as "Fel low citizens of Aberdeen and fellow members of the Debs club." He de livered a very temperate little talk that was somewhat mixed In the use of language, to the effect that the best results of the work of the club would be realized in the future, mayhap after the auditors were dead; but they should not cease their efforts on that account. At this point a man carrying a fair-sized package of peace disturb ance under his belt almost precipi tated a row. He persisted in calling for a man who was not on the pro gramme, and only desisted when Jim Palles gave him a dime to with draw. A Mr. I Robinson was then intro duced, and cautioned the club that it must avoid the .mistakes of dead nations. Millionaires, tramps . and beggars, he said, could not long ex ist together. He inveighed against the concentration of wealth, and quoted some utt- ranees of Washing ton to. show- that the formation of parties is all wrong. The right of civil liberty had been destroyed, he thought, when Debs was - convicted and sent to Woodstock jail. He re j ferred caustically to the story in the I Globe last Friday, in reference to the Hardacre bulletin, and conclud ed by a plea for direct legislation. James Dillon said he was seventy ; years of age, and thoroughly posted j on. the methods of '-the foxy manip | ulators who 'are working the. destruc j tion of the people." The national j banks were denounced as encourag- I ers of the vandalism of greed. "Lib j erty- is gone!" said Mr. Dillon, with j emphasis, and he lauded the People's party platform as embodying all the j real principles cf liberty. The speaker indulged in unqualified de nunciation of the daily press, arid declared he would sweep all of them I off the face of the earth. Lawyers, too, were side-tracked, - and those present were assured they must de pend upon themselves, 'J- V.
