"I wonder," said the middle-aged
man, "why we take life so hard. At
the very best we have only seventy
five, or a hundred years of It, and yet
we fume and fuss and worry all
through it. I think of it, sometimes,
here I am?well, say 50, with maybe
twenty years yet ahead; the cold
chaneges are against my getting
many, but take a hopeful view and say
I've got twenty. But that's a mighty
short time, heh? But just think of
frittering away that time In worry!
"When I think of these thing3 I j
make up my mind that, by cracky! I
will not worry any more; and oh, I
think I take things more philosophical?
ly than I used to. But let some little
thing come up; I don't fly all to pieces
over it, maybe, but It drags and
grinds. And only twenty years to
live!

Rev. Edward Everett Hade, Boston's
lamous lUnjUiidaln .preaidh'er, celebraited
his seventy-sixth birthday hy preach?
ing a sermon Sunday aieter/noon to an
audience whicih entirely filled the iim-i
menise chapel of the 'Hampton Normal
and Collegiate Institute at Hampton
He made no reference to his long ser?
vice in the ministry, hut took as his
subject "The Absolute Simplicity of Re?
ligion." Mark ix.. 37?"Whosoever shatlil
receive one of such children En my name
receivet'h me; and wbosoever shall re?
ceive me. receiveith not me, but Him
'tlhatt sent me." ftc-gatd1 -taytxurt:
?'.We know very well titoTpeople ha-re

but I think sometimes all these books
bother people. They see the mlass of
li'tehaluu re 'before 'them land stay 'must

cessful Christian life?' and' tfliiey 'be?

"I would be very glad iif I could make

today feel that wlhile theology is a

about the same as if my tiittle four

will instruct y'ou in the science of nihe
constitution of the United States.' I
ilhli'nik it is -much bettor for me to learn
from God the let-sons of hum&Mijty."
Dr. 'Hale then drew several beautiful
Iiessoins from the faith, hops and love
of tittle children, and declared in em?
phatic terms that it was aibsoluitely
necessary to become as ta little child
in order to meet the requirements of
?She Christian religion, sailing tlhe faith

kind exempiifkd in the life of the boy
?who is sill ways expecting beStter ttimes
ahead. The love to be olf the kind found
among children before the germ of sel?
fishness 'has 'taken root in their being.
In conclusion he said:
"I probab'lv shall never hiave the priv?
ilege of speaking to these young mein

mill remember that tvn old man ap?
peared before them and endeavored to

In spi'tia of bis advanced years Dr.

ELOQUENT SEPJMON.
Rev. H- W. McLaughlin Preaches on
"Translation Of Enoch."
At the 'Presbyterian church Sunday
evening Rev. Henry W. Mclaughlin,
the pastor, preached on the "Transla?
tion of Enoch." Mir. McLaughlin took
as his text. Gen. 5 : 24. He said in part:
"The brief account of Er.iech is one
of the notalble exceptions in the Old
Testament chronology. His life's re?
cord does not close with the melancholy
retrain "and he died'' which we fteid so
often recurring in the Old Testament
biographies. Death is the finishing
slfnolnp ailii .t.Ka Ol i r?1fl V t# all.l i h.A tT-o i-n
of human woe. All men- have died who
have been born with .two exceptions.
Enoch was one of these and Elijah was
the Other. The writer of Hebrews
salys:. '"By faiitih -Enoch was -transilatcd
that he should not see death." He was
an exception- in another respect. As a
star that shines out in a dark quarter
of the firmament catches and hold* our
attention. So Enovh claims our inter?
est. He is a star of the first magni?
tude -im the antediluvian, firmament. He
stands in vivid contrast' to the self
assertive and warlike .line of Cain. Of
all the descen'dan ts tit Seth perhaps
Enoch was nearest right with God. He
?walked with God and God took him to
Himself. 'He was God's personal
friend and .he liecame His companion
in eternity. The writer of -Hebrews
pays Enoch a splendid tribute in put?
ting him in this catalogue of the nota?
ble Olid1 Testament si-tots, but he pays
him higher honor when he says, "Be?
fore his translation' he had this testi?
mony, that he pleased God." We would
esteem it a great privilege to walk with
this great teacher Aristotle dn the
shady walks of Athens, but how much
better still to walk, as Enoch did. with
the greatest of all philosophers. Enoch
walked with God, blesv^ed privilege!
And we all have it.
?".Walking- with God' means con?
fidence in God Enoch had confi?
dence in his ability, his willingness,
his friendship and his love. God never
deceives. He never cheats. He al?
ways gives more than He takes. H> is
sympathetic, kind and faithful. Men
who have a good deal to do with the
worild are apt to lose confidence in
mankind. How refreshing it Is to find
one whom- you can trusi! Gid is such
vi one. You cannot do better than Enoch
did. Place your confidence in G<d.
'Confidence is faith and it is faith that
saves. Without faith it Is impossible
to please Him. for he that cometh to
God must believe I hat He la and that
He is rewirder of th?rn that diligent?
ia --:pek Him.-Heb 11 : ?.
"Walking with God means conforma?
tion to God's way. The fact that Enoch
?walked with God means that he con?
formed to God's way and God's- will.
You can't walk with a friend and trav
el a different road from the one he is
on. To walk with God means ttat yuu
conform your paths to His. His are the
paths of righteousness. Vou can't be
dishonest in your business nor disloyal
to your friends, nor envious, not- ma?
licious, nor impure, nor untruthful and
w?lk with God. His path will not lead
into, these things^

'NEWS FORM PORT MONROE.
It was stated yesterday that au
other larte consignment of atumuui
tiou had been received at Port Mon?
roe, but the report couid not be con?
firmed. While talking with a Daily
Press reporter last night one of the
soldiers from the fort said:
"We are getting projectiles and
shells for the guns every day and oc
easionally we get new guns for the
shell*. We need them bad.y enough.
Those old guns down by the Chesa?
peake side of the fort aro not to be
depended on. The new guns are all
right and, with the big disappearing
rifles, could make a strong argument
with an enemy."
"Have the range finders and other
apparatus for measuring the distance
and speed of passing vessels arrived
yet?"
"I can't say definitely, but I am
under the impression that they
have."
Referring to the effectiveness of
Fort Monroe he said :
"The fort has recently been both
weakened and strenchtened. (inns
have been sent here and ammunition
for them has also been recsivati, but
the men who have learned to mau
the heavy peices have been sent to
the Southern forts and troops from
the West, who never saw a oisap
pearing gun before they came here,
have been seut to take their places.
I have been at this port for a num
ber of years, but 1 have never kuowD
*the fort to be so lightly garrisonwd as
it is now. ?
"Our most experienced officers have"
[ been sent away and others have taken
their places who know more about
field cannon and field movement*
than they do about firing disappear?
ing.rifles and mortars at a moring
vessel?and that is what we would
have to do, Our artillery school
has been broken up and most of the
officers have left for other posts of
duty. Yesterday 1 heard that Lieu?
tenant Kutman had been ordered
away and will leave in a few days.
If that Is true, the fort will loose one
of the bested posted officers on ordn?
ance that there is in the country. He
will be a great lost to the fort, if he
goes, because of his great knowiedre
of the worKings oi the lortirications
here. He, I have been told, has
planned many of the new additions
of the fort."
THE FIRST RAIL LAID,
Active Work on the King Street
Branch Line.
Early yesterday morning the con?
struction gang of the Newport News,
Hampton and Old Point Railway
Company comme?ced the work of
laying the rails of the King street
branch of the company's line, and by
night considerable progress had been
made. The first rail was laid at the
corner of King and Court streets. At
this point a line branches off from
King street and traver.-es Court to
the intersection of Queen, while the
main line will be from the intersec?
tion of King and Queen, out King
to East and North ends.
The work is being pushed with all
I the rapidity possible, and already
the ties have been laid for quit* a
distance oh King street.
Just <*hen the line will be ready
for the running of cars cannot be
stated at this time. Mr Darling in
I tends, however, to have the cars op?
erating at the very earliest moment.

And Smith 's a fool, and Brown 's an
