GUIDING MEN TO GOD. Moody and Sankey Continue Their Fight Against Sin. WO M0EE IMPEESSIVE SESMOEö. The renulty of Sinful Living and the Readiness of God to I'orglv. Illustrated By the Parable of the Prodigal Sou, Christ the Only Trne Teacher. About, one-quarter of the seats in the riuk last night were filled by womeu and men from the meeting at Delaware Avenue Church which was adjourned for that purpose, tested a strong reverential spirit and the singing at times was of great volume. The ufteruoou women's meeting was. as usual, crowded. At the evening service, which began at 7.15, Mr. Sankey sang "What a Won derful Saviour," and "Where is My Wandering Boy Tonight," the choir assisting in the chorus of the former and J. R. King in the chorus of the latter. Messrs. Sankey, King and Pickles and Mrs. Bowman sang "Speed Away." Sermon on the Prodigal Son. The gathering man! iMr. Moody read tho parable of the prodigal son from Luke, aud taking that Story as his text delivered a forcible dis course on the results of siu and tho readiness of God to forgive the sinner He said, in a prefactory way, that he had been requested to preach to moral men, therefore at the following men's meet ing, tonight, he would take up the elder brother. "1 think," said he, "that the whole human family is made up of such people as the two brothers I have been readiug about tonight. I always sympathize with rich men's sons. Most men think they don't need sympathy ; they haven't half a chance It's wonderful if a rich man's son turns out ti be anything at all nowadays. He has to lace tho greatest teJiptations. The rich man of the parable had two sons. They couldn't agree on anything aud were in constant strife. The younger one, when he got his share of the money, went away to a foreign country. He lived a life of luxury aud ease as long as his money lasted and no doubt enjoyed the company of many panions. You will alwavs find ready to help you down. But when his money was gone their came a great famine on the land. The devil's conn try will have a famine some day. There is a certain fascination iu sin's season but by aud by it turns to gall and bit terness." Continuing the speaker said that the only thing the devil bad been known to give was a free lunch aud that was only given as a bait, "This young man lost every thing but his father's love. That love brought him home. I can see him ono morning when he was thinking abont his home. He had found out that there are two ends to a road. There is something at the end opposite Heaven; don't you be lieve that? That man was thinking of his oid home, and his father was think ing of his son. "The old man had gone to the house top to pray. No doubt bo prayed forthla wandering boy. He saw him afar off and, although be appeared like a tramp. he knew him. He did not call a servant to go fetch the boy. His love was too com men great and his joy tco full for that. He ran to meet him. Tho boy had fixed up a nice little speech and wanted to ask him to accept him as a servant; ha was willing to go to the servants' quar ters; but mark wbat happened. Tho father fell upon the boy's neck and wept for joy and tho prodigal cried out: "Fälltet, 1 have sinned, I am no longer worthy to be thy sou.' Did that father think that about his son? No! I think j hear him shout: 'Go kill that fatted calf.' Wbat a feast that was Do yon think that boy wanted to go back to the swine herds and busks of Egypt? "This is the one Bible story that tells ns what causes Joy in Heaven. A new robe and a new crown was ordered for a sinner that had repented. My dear friends, come back to your father's home to-night." He concluded the discourse by reciting an affecting story uf a father searching for his sou in the army hospital after the battle of the wilderuuss. AH through the wards it was announced "John Thompson, your father wants you," until the father aud sou were united. "I come to you to night to tell you that your Father wants to forgive your sins and blot them out." About seventy-five attended the In quiry meeting which followed. Rev. E L Hubbard conducted the prayer meet ing. An affecting address was made by Mrs. Roberta A. Mat lack. The Afternoon Service. a numuor oi tetters, requesting prayer for friends, wore read at the afternoon meeting. Some .of them came from Philadelphia aud Baltimore. After reaching the fifth chapter of Mark the preacher said ; Here are men Honed three of the hardest cas s iu the Bible. Here Is a madman, who if he were living now would bo in a hospital for the insane; here was a woman who had an issue of blood, and who would bo pronounced an incurable and sent to an asylum. The devil was driven out of the madman and tho woman was cured.

WHY CARVED ORNAMENTS IN IVORY ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. Iliflrc Arc» Few Fxp**rt Worker» In Ivory lnTUUCountry--Thiî Prie« of DleplianU* Tu»k» Ha» Nut Greatly Changed in Uo cent Year»—A Cosily Luxury. When Whitelaw Reid was in search of t workman to decorate apartments at Ophir Farm with rich and beautful an tiques brought over from Europe he found that there was but ono man in America who could do such work, and he lay sick. Had Mr. Reid l*een in search of skilled ivory carvers ho would have found them almost as scarce. There are not above three or four ivory' carvers of approved skill iu New York, ami hardly so many in all the rest of tho country. Tho men who do such work are paid high wages tho year round, whether busy or idle. They are Frenchmen, Ger mans and Italians. Of tho throe the Italians nro perhaps tho most skillful, since ivory carving has been an art in a high degree of perfection among tho Italians for centuries. The most famous ivory carver living, however, is a French man, Moreau "Vauthier. Few of his masterpieces have been seen iu America, though two were sold at tho famous Morgan art sale of u few years ago. and two more, hold at a great price, are now in the possession of n noted American jeweler. The ivory carvers of this country Jo little or nothing in tho East Indian or Japanese manner, nor do they occupy themselves with figuro work. Their chief employment is in producing decorative toilet and stationery articles. The rage for stained and carved ivory is of recent growth in tho United States, and the de mand for such articles is not large, us they are more costly than the same articles in silver would be. They wore produced to tickle the jaded ajsthetic palates of the rich and luxurious, and only those'who may triflo away what they will indulge themselves U> any considerable degree in carved ivory. In all such articles the cost of tho raw material is small in comparison with that of tho labor. Bilbard balls are costly because they contain largo quan tities of the finest ivory cut from tho best part of tho tusk. The labor coat of billiard balls is trifling, as they are turned by machinery and rapidly. Thus it often happens that a single small arti cle, richly stained and carved, will cost five times os much as a billiard ball con taining ten times tho weight of ivory. The carvers of ivory use much the same tools as tho wood carvers, but of lighter and more delicate make. The work is extremely tedious and laborious. Tho carving is usually done in low re lief, and tho subjects are such as are suitable to this treatment—Persian de signs in delicate curves, the cactus, with some varieties of palm, and hints caught from these marvelously simple but ar tistic carvings of tho Alaskan Indians. The ivory is stained slightly, so as to bring out the design, and is permitted to absorb moisture, which it readily does, in order to give it that fresh look com mon in newly manufactured articles of ivory. The art of staining ivory is a secret guarded well by tho carvers. Some notion of tho cost of ivory carv ing may be had from tho fact that, while a hand mirror framed in plain ivory may bo had for ten or twelve dollars, a mir ror in carved ivory may cost $100 or more. The small articles in carved ivory cost from five to twenty-five dol lars, and a toilet sot in that material may fetch as high as $500. Tho Ameri can climate, with its extremes of heat anil cold, is very trying upon ivory, and ivory backed mirrors of Eurojiean manu facture almost invariably crack across the back after a few months of use upon this side of tho Atlantic. The American manufacturers have hit upon tlie expe dient of leaving a space between glass and frame in order to allow for contrac tion and expansion. Nearly all tho ivory brought to the United States is bought in tho great Lon don market, where tho price is knocked abont by bulls aud bears, who comer ivory as they comer wheat or com. The African rather ttian the Asiatic ivory 1« brought to this country, though one of the largest tusks ever seen in this mar ket—that of a sacred East Indian cle phant—has just been mounted in orien tal style as a trophy of tho cliase. Tho tusk measures more than six feet in length and retains tho marks it bore when worn by the sacred beast to which it be longed, Thanks to the predatory and murderous industry of Tippu Tib and his black Zanzibaris the supply of ivory lias kept pace with tho increased demand resulting from its extended use in this country, and the price for tho raw ma terial has not permanently advanced. Few tusks of more than five feet in length come to this country, and many are less than four feet long. Many of tlie tusks reach here after having licctt buried in Africa for years to snvo them from thievish enemies of tho savage owners. Every tusk must go through a process of sc atoning, long or short, ac cording as the process is natural or arti ficial, before it is made up into articles of ornament or use. It is difficult to de tain a perfect slab of ivory more than nix inches in diameter, aa the upper end of tho tnak, which is tho tliickesf, is hol low and the material is coarser than that in the solid part of the tusk. Prora the latter are made billiard balls and the most beautifully carved articles for the toilet and the writing desk. From the coarser parts are made poker chips, buttons.and a hundred small ar ticles. Every jxirt of the tusk is put to use. Even the chit« and sawdust are converted into ivory black by burning. —New York Sun. When a iîlrl Ha» More Fun.

Trials of a borrower. tmproviilenro Itebnhnt at a Loan Office, Where Cash le "Lent the Same Day." A gold Ionian suffering from financial disability went to a loan office to negu ti.Uc a borrov cm his furniture. In the advertisement it stated that the money would be lent the same day by a Choc taw lady, without removal and upon the note of hand of the borrower. All this looked very fine in print. •Tve got $10,000 worth of personal property," said the would he borrower, "and 1 have to meet a wash bill of $3.50 coming due tomorrow noon. Can I get fitted out bore so as to bo in n position to meet the collector without a blnshï" Tho manager of the loan office was strangely silent. Tho would tie borrower became nervous ami thought he hadn't said (ho speech right, ami so ho begun over again iu this style; "I am u person of poor but honest par entage, temporarily » mbarravîscd. I need tho sum of $3.50 to meet an unjust lia bility." Still there was no answer. Then tho borrower walked into the ontsido room and said to the office boy: "What's the matter with the manager? Can't ho talk?" "1 guess it's because yon haven't paid tho entrance fee. No person is a mem ber of this loan society until he has put up one dollar." Tho borrower apologized and deposit ed tho money. Next he repaired to the manager and repeated his original as sertion. "Wo charge one dollar more for book age." said the manager. "What's bookage?" "That's none of your business. One dollar, please." He paid tho money, and the manager wrote down something in a book. "Now give mo two dollars to inspect the furniture." Tho borrower gave him the money, "Now call hero next year at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and get onr answer." "But tho money is duo tomorrow." "Can't help it. Put 'em off." "Blit yon can't put people like that off. There are some fellows that won't wait." Tho manager smiled a superior smile. "Oh, no there aren't," he said. "Von'll know a little more about waiting when you get through with us." The borrower left tho office reluctant ly and returned the following year at 2 o'clock. Then the manager told him somowliat sternly that ho couldn't lend money on that furniture because it had got too old. In vain the borrower rep resented that it was new when his elaim was filed. Thu manager ended tho in terview by charging him $1.25 storage on tho "papers in the case," and then bad tho janitor throw 1dm out. This ended tho whole transaction.—New York Herald. Eating Several Meals a Day. When, as rarely happen», English farm laborers como to this country, they find it extremely difficult to accommo dai« thenuelvee to tho current American custom of eating but threo meals a day. An English maidservant and nurse, who lived to bo more than 100 years old, averred that she had always lieen accus tomed to "u dew bit and breakfast, a stray bit and dinner, n numinet, a ernm met, and a bit utter supper." Extra meals nro common enough during tho harvest season in this country.Tho hasty breakfast at 8:30 in tho morning is fol lowed by a "stray bit" at U o'clock and the din by a ner and tho after sunset supper. In {torts of southern Pennsylvania the dinner hour is 11 o'clock in the morning, and it would not bo difficult to show that Americans living on tho same meridian are dining all tho way from that hour until 7 iu the evening.
