Sorvlcoa nl tho Christian church
wore conducted last cvenlpK by tin'
pastor, Mr. J. Ii. Holmes, who talked
on "Th.( Tlireo Judmnont liars." Mr,
Holmes described Iho three Judgment
bars hi foro which man must appear
for Konienoo ns Ihn Judumenl bars of
piitille opiiiioti, consclonr. and 'hid
Ho spoke In part as follows:
"Lot us brlnu tOKoihor throe state
incuts from thi Apostle Paul Is tho
basis of our remarks; tonUhl; 'Let
your maimer of life bo worthy of I he
Cospel of Christ.' 'Herein do I nlso
exorcise myself lo have n conscience
void or ort'enso toward Cod and men
alvvay.' 'And reckonlst thou this
thai thou nhii.lt escape iho Juili;mcnt
or Coti .'
"These three passages ()f Scripture
indicate throe jiiKinent burs' places
where verdicts ar. rendered. No one
can escape them and tho decisions
will he rendered In every case in ac
cord with Iho evidence given. Tho
llrst judgment bar to which I cull
your attention l.s the judgment bar
or public opinion.
Public Opinion.
I'lils Is considered first, not be
cause it. Is really of greatest Import
mice, hut because It Is made first, in
Hi, consideration of the vast majori
ty of people loibiy. Almost daily the
newspaper tells us of men in places
of public trust who have hid their
vil deeds, put. down conscience, and
ignored tho judgment bar of Cod, but
when their crimes were discovered
have taken their livos rather than
face the verdict of. miblie oninion.
"A jury bribor pleaded tho morrcy
or the court not long since on the
ground that, he had already suffered
tori tiros because he was a social out
cast. Said he. 'I hope none of you
here will over know what that means.
It is to wake up some morning and
find your name in ail the papers with
the ugly charges, all the blacker
since you know they ore true. It is
to find that, the confidence gained by
an honest lite of years has gone, that
the judges and lawyers who alwavs
have had a smile and a pleasant word
lor you, know that confidence was
misplaced, that, you have botrayod
your friends, that the men who used
lo greet you on the street now look
the other way, that you dread to
go out of your own home, and when
you do you walk down the side
si root a hoping you will not. see any
body you know, holding up your hand
kerchief half the time to hide your
face, yet knowing that (he people you
pass nudge each other nnd say 'there's
Lynch, the jury briber.' I say, I hope
lo Cod that none of you will ever
know what that means.'
Verdict Feared.
"O, I tell you, the verdict of pub
lic opinion Is feared but It is courted
as well. A wealthy father and mother1
were anxious to have their daughter
appear in 'her class' and they urged
her to forsake her 'childish fancy of
work in the church' and 'go into so
ciety.' Her love for them caused her
llnally to yield to their wishes and
they dressed her in the most boil lit I
I'ul way and looked on with great,
pride when she made her first public
appearance. She crushed her natural
modesty and danced Willi the gayest
of the say. That night she took cold
Horn which developed a raging fever.
And as she lay dying a few days later
she asked I hem to bring in her costly
robes and they placed them on the
couch before her and with her dying
breath she said. 'For these my soul
is lost.
Yes. many are selling their souls
Mr a favorable verdict from th
world, but afier all it is not reputa
tion but character that will stand
own hero. J. (!. Holland says that
'Character must stand behind and
back of everything - the sermon, the
poem, the piituto the pliy non. of
ibcso is worth a straw without it.'
Horace ("reely said. Tame is a vapor,
popularity an accident, riches lake
wines; those who cheer today may
curs,, tomorrow: only one thing cn

Judgment of Cod.
"If there la Morrow for the loss of
public favor, ami If the condemnation
of roiiNclciii-e. Is terrible, whut must
bo iho bluer anguish of the lost soul
before the judxinent bar oi God?
Yet there are many who are hasten
lug on without on apparent thought
or preparation for that Judgment bar
heforo which every one must appear.
Man's Judgment may be mixed with
error, or even entirely wrong; bin
iho judgment of Cod will be just and
true In accord with the liven we have
lived. The criminal pleads the mer
cy of the court, hut the. Judge may
remind him that he knew in advance
that he was violating the law and thai
now a righteous law demands full
penalty. Hut na the lost shall stund
In His presence they will reall.o
that though He loved them and
through Ills mercy offered them
salvation, yet the time of mercy Is
o or.
Too Lat.
"A few months ago a friend of mine
was culled to the bedside of a dying
man at Vancouver. Wash. Ho knew
the man and histonod to his aide,
thinking that at Inst ho had decided
to give his heart to Cod. Hut when
the mal tor waa mentioned he said
bitterly, 'No, No, It's too lnle. Kor
idxly odd years I've lived In (tin, and
It's too late now!
Walter Scott, suid: 'ThereH but
one book for the dying man the
Hlhle." Joseph Cook said: "Pillow
niv hend on no doubt when I'm
dying.'
Why go away from Christ, tonight?
Away from Ills loving care:
doing away from this blessed life,
To darkness and despair."

Cull, the regular pastor, Is out of the
city, holding meet Inns at Johnson's
Iluyott. Pr. Itay is a Congregational
minister but devotes most of his lime
In Ilible study classes through tills
section of the country. Yesterday
morning Dr. Itay preached lo n largo
congregation oil "Witnessing for
Cod."
Ho spoke from the text ''But ye
shall receive powpr after that the
Holy Chos; shall cinie upon you nnd
'e shall he witnesses unto me holh
lu Jerusalem and in all Judea nnd In
Sumnria and unto the uttermost purls
of the eurth." The passage is found
lu Acts 1:8. Dr. Ray said that Cod
wants all to be witnesses unto Hint
and that all nre witnesses unto Him.
and that It depends upon the man
what kind of n witness he will be.
The portion of the text referring to
bearing witness In Jerusalem, the
speaker said, meant that, mnn should
witness for Ood In his home. .Tern
sfilem being the home of tho Jews,
to whom the scripture applies. The
minister urged that ovorvone hear
witness to Cod In his homo. lie said
a man might fixd his grocer, his
banker, his bulehor, his business
partner or any one else with whom
he comes in contact, but that ho can
not fool the little woman who slls op
positc him at breakfast every morn
ing, nor tho children who c'usler
about, his knee at night. The homo.
the sneaker said, was the most effecf-
Ive place to bear witness to Cod.
Try It on Neighbor,
After man has practiced wltnesslns
f!od In his home, Dr. Rav said, he
should go out and try It on his neigh
bor. This is what is meant, the
speaker declared, by the injunction

BABY BORN TO FORTUNE.
John Nicholas Brown, 4 Years Old,
Worth $10,000,000.
John Nicholas Brown of Rhode
Island Is only 4 years old, but he is
rated worth $10,000,000. His fortune
came from his father and an uncle.
In equal amounts, before he was 3
months old. Voting Brown has three
pnlutial residences, a yacht, is always
attended by a physician and has a
retinue of ten servants. He livos on
sterilized milk chiefly and has more
care bestowed upon him than a royal
piincc. He Is weighed morning and
night on special scales and Is
groomed in the most luxurious man
ner. The youngster's fortune con
sists In stock In great cotton mills In
New Kngland. His mother was a
Miss Dresser, sister of Mra. George
Vandei bilt.
Yet It Often Is.
Old furniture should not be simply
"old" and valued as such, but should
be an example of the highest art of its
period, and the result of application of
the mind and time of trained artists In
Ms const ruction. Its presence in the
modern home, or as nc inspiration to
the collector, Is the appeal of the past
that past which reaches out ever to
the present and sends Its impulse on
to the future in art, architecture, lit
erature or history. It is the uncon
scious bequest of those who have
lived, and loved, and planned, and tn
Ijlng left to posterity something for
the pood of humanity or the beauti
fvltig of mirroiindings. Harper's bazaar.
were somewhat curtailed. In the i. Bay said the neighla.r is the man
lorenoon tney wore conducted oy a(Who lives next door, whose chickens
lay reader. In the evening a songidb. n one's flower beds, whose dog
barks and keeps one awake at night,
whose pigs break throu;n the fence
and eat one's cabbage. This U the
man with whom one is exhorted to
witness for Cod.
That part of the text urging that
Cod be witnessed for in Samaria,
the speaker said, referred to man wit
nessing for Cod among his enemies,
for the Samaritans were tho enemies
o" the Jews. It was the custom of
the Samaritan to spit on tho ground
every time he met a Jew. to show his
disgust. In illustrating this phase of
his sublect Dr. Ray related a stcrv
of an old fiddler. Uncle Joe, who in a
certain community competed with
tho church for the palronaee of the
peonle. Tilde Joe wanted the porfplo
to dance so that ho could earn money
playing for them. Every time there
was n revival Uncle Joe would nut
nwav ,h's fiddle, saying there was
nothing for him to do. When the re.
vivnl was over he would get out his
fiddle and begin coaxing the people
to dance. Finally they would again
tro to dancing.
U"cle Jo Converted.
This contest kept up for several
yrars until at last Uncle Joe himself
was converted. Tie had made many
enemies because of bis crabbed dis
position but the flight he was con
verted he went to every one of
them and nsked their forgiveness for
past wrongs he had commuted and
said that in the future thov wou'd bo
friends, as tho love of Cod had come
