Churchmen. . With the memory of Booker T. Wash ington's recent visit to St. Paul, and ; his interesting description of educa tional work among the negroes of tho South, a large audience assembled at Hou^e of Hope church yesterday to listen to the story of a similar but more extensive work being done by the •Hampton institute, situated on the 'Hampton roads in Virginia. t. Rev. Dr. Frlssell, president of the Institute, with a party of students and ■teachers, was present and told the in terested audience of the benefits which the school has bestowed upon both the Indian*; and negroes who are num bered among its pupils, and how the students return to their people thus spreading the civilizing and education al effects of their teachings until the results become inestimable. A descrip tion of the Hampton institute was il lustrated with stereopticon views. The party accompanying Dr. Frissell con sisted of Miss Sallle Davis, Miss Liz zie Rainey, Robert White, T. Wain- Wght, J. Butler, negroes, and Benja min Brave, a Sioux Indian, originally Yrom South Dakota, ( In opening the exercises Dr. Egbert Introduced President Frissell, who re lated the history of the school and Its work. 'Ll 111110 * 1 has sent out into the West 432 Indians; of these 87 per cent are ( fengaged in some regular occupation- Seventy of the young women have Jnarried well and are living in decent [homes. The boys are engaged as mis sionaries, as teachers, mechanics, and . farmers. Many of them have built ■ their own homes, and are presenting Object lessons to the community in which they dwell. Of the school's 832 negro graduates and about..as many-more undergradu ates, nine-tenths have done good work la 'teaching and ' three-fourths have made it their life work. Not less than thirty-five thousand ,-- children were under their instruction last year Since 1870 they 'have' taught at least one hundred and fifty thousand chil dren and out of these schools have gone between two and three thousand teach ers. Not only have these Hampton graduates taught in the school room ■but have devoted themselves to work ,tn temperance and the Sunday school : .The girls have gone from house to house in the country ' districts and , taught the mothers cooking and the care of their homes and of their chil dren. The boys give instruction In Agriculture and have erected in many places homes of their own and have cultivated little pieces of land, which cave been object lessons to the negro communities of the. South, and this In struction has resulted in many places In the complete transformation of the communities to which they have gone. The familiar work of Booker Wash ington, Hampton's most distinguished graduate, fairly illustrates What hun dreds of its young people have done in a smaller way. The board of trustees represents six denominations, no one of which has or can have a majority. It costs to carry on this large plant, with academic, as Well as industrial teachers, over $100, --000 a year; $20,000 is provided for board and clothes of the Indians by the gen eral government; $10,000 is received ! through the state of Virginia from the land script fund. Between $80,000 and 100,000 is to be raised every year from Charitable friends throughout the coun try. This is very largely provided through the $70 scholarship.which gives to the people of two races free tuition .While in thecase of the Indian.the board find clothes are provided by the gov ernment, and in the case of the negro gained by the labor of their own hands, supplemented by the help which they can receive from their parents t Gen. Armstrong, Its founder, literally gave his life to this. institution. The school is seeking aid at the present time, for the purpose of erecting a trade school at Hampton, similar to those in other parts of the country .Where more of the young people of two races can avail themselves of the op portunities for instruction in the trades. • ' Morris K. Jesup, of New York, has generously offered to give $10 000 toward a building which is to cost cost $40,000, and ladles in Philadelphia have promised $5,000 more. So strongly do the prominent gentlemen of the bountry feel the necessity for teaching the young people of the colored races the trades that the Slater fund board composed of such men as Mr. Jesup' •Bishop Potter, Alexander E. Ore, Hon 'J. L. .M. Curry and others, have rec ommended that $6,000 be devoted to the maintenance of such a school at Hamp ton, in case the building can be pro vided. There is a crisis in the history Of these two races. The young people Who have been educated in the public schools are, many of them, coming out irom them : unable to obtain any Occupation, in the stores or in -the Shops, and unless something can be ( one they will become worthless vag rants. It is essential that such schools j6a Hampton and Tuskegee be multi- I; plied so that the . opportunities which these institutions offer along these lines pay be increased. The meetings held In Chicago belong to a series which fcommonced in Washington; and are to be held all through the country for the purpose of arousing an interest in in dustrial education for these two races. .Gradua tes also participated. ■■ — : — ; — ■ — "*"*•■ *.

MERRIAM SAYS THAT 19 WHAT -HE AND (ORDY TALKED * ; :> v' **- , Aiiot , 3rr* ;ii *"- — v POLITICAL I TALK TABOOED AT THE LrXTLi^C^JXF.EJIIEftCE IN CHICAGO— ONLY FISH STORIES ALLOWED. j CLOUGH WILL RE RE-ELECTED. He'i Ileen a Good Governor, In Mr. Mcrrlam's Notion, and De serves It. Ex-Gov. W. R. Merriam returned home from North Carolina yesterday morning. He was met at Chicago by Cordenio A. Severance, who had been summoned thither by a telegram from the governor. A reporter for the Globe asked Gov. Merriam last night to admit that he had come back has tily, at the request of Mr. Severance, in order to allay, if possible, the dissen sions among the local supporters of Senator Davis' presidential candidaoy. But the governor did not admit it. He did admit that he had oome back, and that Mr, Severance had oome with him. He himself hod-spent six weeks shoot ing and enjoying a vacation In North Carolina, and he had really intended to return March 1, but lingered be cause the shooting and fishing were bo gocd. He had, however, telegraphed to Mr. Severanoe about business. Mr, Severance was his lawyer, They had met at Chicago and talked of business and birds. From Chicago they went together to Fond dv Lao, -Wis,,- where they discussed business and bass. Throughout their joint and devious wanderings, in fact, they had talked business and birds, business and bass, business and business, but they had, neither of them, mentioned politics. The governor knew nothing of the local political situation, and, except what he had read in the" " "papers— whloh, of course, didn't count— he had* not glean ed a single political fact within the last six weeks. Yesterday was Sunday, and Lent besides, and he had not ventured to glean, but today he would begin his gleaning in earnest. Today*; perhaps Cordenio might tell even him some thing about Munn's not being an ac ceptable delegate for the St. Louis con vention. "Mr. Munn," said the governor, "is a first-class man, but I didn't know that he was slated as a delegate to the na tional convention. Mr. Severance ar ranged it, did he? «Well,- I -knew 'noth ing about ,it,, And. ihe local Repub licans don't approve of Mujin, eh? In deed. Well, whoever' goes' to St Louis will be acceptable to the St. Paul Re publicans. I haven't any doubt of that. Yes, yes, George Thompson will prob ably go, but besides him, I really can't see who will make up the four dele gates from this district. You know I've been hunting and fishing, and I've lost all track of politics— through the papers. I shan't go as a delegate myself. O, no, I haven't changed my mind about that." "And didn't Mr. Severance tell you anything about the situation since you met him, governor?" "Why, confound it, man, that's pret ty close questioning." Mr. Merriam appeared distressed. "It's just as I said. He came down to meet me on business, and I wish you'd deny that my coming home or Mr. Sev erance's meeting me at Chicago had anything whatever to do with politics. "I can't tell much about McKlnley's strength in the South. The papers say he's gaining. strength, but, you know, I've only been at Asheville." -.. "He's your second choice, after Da vis?" Ll^i.t •• 3 >><•" '— ■• ■' "O, well, I've -always thought he would be a good president, but I hope to see Senator Davis nominated. Davis will get his support, I'm sure, from Minnesota and the two Dakotas, and from other states." "" "What other states?" "There will be others, of course. Illi nois? I can't say. Cullom won't get all the votes there, at any rate. The dele gation is sure to divide and give some of its support to McKinley. No, in deed, I'm not a bit . afraid of Allison. He's very much overestimated. There isn't any danger of . either of . the Da kotas throwing their strength to him as against Davis." Gov. Merriam was asked what he thought of the manifesto issued by the Minneapolis committee of one hundred. The manifesto evidently seemed a hu morous composition in the governor's eyes, for he laughed heartily. The sug gestion that the movement was 111-ad vised seemed more comical still. It was a cheerful sight to see a states man so tickled. - .... . : . "Gov. Clough," replied Mr. Merriam, as soon as he could control his cachina tions, "will no doubt be the next gov ernor of the state. He's made an excel lent, an able governor, .so. far, and I don't see why he isn't entitled to the usual compliment of a re-election. But as to the Minneapolis manifesto, why, of course, I can't say anything." "O, no, I shan't have charge of Sen ator Davis' interest here. I shan't run his campaign for him, although, of course, he will receive my support whenever I can give it to him." "Mr. Severance had charge of the Davis interests in your absence, didn't he?" j ... ; A , "No, not that I know of. But you must see him about - that, he probably knows a great many things that I don't about local politics just now." Today an atmosphere ! of information will surcharge the Merchants' National bank, for today. Cordenio will impart to William the interesting political data so carelessly forgotten on that business excursion to Fond dv Lac. LAROR AND LEARNING. Subject of an '"Address by' 'Walter Thomas Mills. Walter Thomas Mills gave a very interesting . address to " a large audi ence at Plymouth church- -yesterday afternoon. Mr. . Mills' subject was "Labor and Learning::** It Will be re membered that Mr. Mills is one of the chief factors irT" tSe*: effort' to -raise sufficient money and- collect together enough people to form a colony to be not over one hundred miles from Chi cago. It is his belief that the people can combine and together "employ their own labor in directly producing the food, clothes, fuel and shelter nec essary for their comfort and besides provide for themselves and their chil dren the very "best* possible common school, high school and university ed ucational advantages. To provide the opportunity for them to do so is the central idea and purpose of the "Peo ple's university." -.r > • * According to Mr. Mills, this century commenced with nineteen out of twen ty of all the people in j the United States living in the country and only one out of the. twenty living in cities and towns. The century is closing with about one-half of all its popula tion in cities and towns and the other half expecting to move there in just a few days. The, century commenced with the great majority of people liv ing on their own land, in theft- own house, in their own shops, working under their own direction and taking for their own use the total products of THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 9, 1896 their own labor. The century is now closing with the land, the machinery and the 'shops,* which means the in strument and the opportunity .'. of in dustry, centralized in the hands of a few people, controlled for the pur pose of making profits for the men who own and manage the -enterprises, with a very large share of all the population without a place to put their feet, to say nothing of where to lay their head; with no share in the man agement of any public or private busi ness enterprises. He said that labor was prior to capital, independent of capital and- producer of capital. In nearly every Southern state and in all Northern states the majority of all the people live on their own land, and in their own houses, employ their own labor and take to themselves for their own use and their families the product of their labor without asking any favors of the capitalist on the one hand or the hired man or the slave on the other. It was then a fact, but it is no longer a fact. The people of the United States do not live on their own land or in their own houses, and have practically no interest in the products of their own toll. Fifty years ago the home in New England was made up something like this: A long, rambling building with apartments for the people in one end and the cattle in the other. In that building was not only a place for the people and cattle, but a shoe shop, blacksmith shop, carpenter shop, spin ning wheel, etc., as well. The boy on the New England farm learned to la bor under the direction and with his father's companionship. The boys and the girls who learned to labor were instructed by the man and woman who cared more for these young people than any other people on the face of the earth. Today, according to sta tistics, the average earnings of the New England inhabitant are only two thirds of the average expense of main taining his family, What happened? A man came along and invented a spinning wheel, and the old-fashioned spinning wheel was put in the garret. The loom the same way. Machinery was invented that gave the planing mill. The shoemaker lost his job when maohinery was Invented to tan leather and manufacture shoes. One by one these industries departed and the fac tory towns created. The boys and girls went down to the faotory towns and worked there. No longer did they la bor under the direction of father or mother, but under the watchful eye of a man who never saw them before, took no other interest in them except by their sweat and work to coin out of their. toll the largest possible num ber of dollars, The divorce question was only a very small item in the disintegration of families. Stewart said down in the New England towns he found some towns which were called "she towns." Upon inquiry, he learned that a "she town" was a certain manufacturing city that employed women and chil dren, but had no employment for men. The men had to live elsewhere and do housework in order to earn a living. The process which in fifty years has destroyed the small manufacturer and built the great manufacturing towns is today destroying the small farmer and building great farms. It is more over today destroying the smaller merchant and building the depart ment store. The small merchant should have a standing in the face of the great and destructive department store. The wages paid American labor to day are less than sufficient to buy out of the market, with labor, what the toil of the wages put in the market. Mr. Mills will lecture to a mass meeting at Market hall tomorrow night on "Direct Legislation." WAS IT UNDER, DURESS! Attorney Johns May Appeal From Aid. Murphy's Conviction. Attorney Henry Johns, who defended Aid. Murphy in his trial last week, will, it was reported last night, move for a new trial in the case. It is said he will procure affidavits to show that in agreeing to a verdict of guilty that one of the jurymen acted under duress, and that he Is not convinced of the fairness of the verdict. Another affida vit will be secured, it was reported, to prove that one of the jurors had re marked before he had been chosen on the jury that Murphy was doubtless guilty of keeping a disorderly house. If Attorney Johns falls to secure a new trial he will then take an appeal to the supreme court. NOW THEY'RE OFF. Bank Workers and Detective* Fin ally Left Last Night. Detectives Ross J. Whittaker and John F. Seymour, of the San Fran cisco police department, whose extra dition papers for the alleged forgers, G. W. Woods, alias A. H. Dean, alias Frank Seavers, and J. M. Scott, alias Joe McCluskey, were granted Saturday by Gov.Clough.departed with their pris oners for California, over the Omaha road, at 7:30 last evening. It was the original purpose of the San Francisco authorities to leave for the coast Sat urday evening, but a proviso of the Minneosta statutes governing the ex tradition of supposed criminals delayed their return until today. Under the Minnesota law a prisoner, whose extra dition has been granted, cannot be re moved from the state until after the expiration of twenty-four hours from the time the papers were honored by the governor. Mrs. Woods returned to New York yesterday. ONE PRICE FOR HAIR CUTS. Barbers Will Try to Get Together Tonight. A meeting of the barbers of St. Paul will be held at Assembly hall tonight.to which union and non-union men, as well as journeymen and boss barbers, have been invited. The object of the meeting is to try and come to an agree ment about the price to be charged for cutting hair. It was arranged some days ago to charge a uniform rate throughout the city, but when the day for putting it into operation came one of them backed out and upset the whole agreement. It Is with the hope of be ing able to reach an understanding that the meeting has been called. Funeral of Col. Mitchell. Henry C.

THEY WERE HEROIC REV. WM. MCKINLEY'S PRAISE OF ' WOMEN WHO BRAVED- COURT TERRORS [( \'X IN THE INTEREST OF PURITY. •H-— ri .^ HE ALSO PRAISES THE ATTORNEY WHO PUSHED THE WINE ROOM CASE. Lf , RUT THE "VILE OPPOSITION" I-— rH Come In for a Scathing Arraign ment by the Central Park Pastor. "Should laW breakers be law mak ers, and is a man 'good whose business is bad?" was Rev. William McKin ley's topic at Central Park M. E. church last evening.' Among other things, he said: "The supremacy of the law over all, and the equality of all under the law, is the greatest achievement of the human mind in application to social problems. It has cost ages of conflict and oceans of blood to reach It. and it is worth all It cost, for It gives to every man the opportunity to make the most of him self, and so does the best possible for himself and for his fellow man, the largest room for the individual devel opment and social development. Civil ization, which is progressing and help ful to all men, is based upon the su premacy of law. In a nation like this, the newest of all the nations, inherit ing law of the wisdom of the past where all men are not only equal be fore the law, but have an equal voice in making the law. There is a double application for all men to reverence and obey the law, which expresses the intelligence, the conscience and will of the people in its highest form, and is the best index. to the supreme reason and the supreme will of God.who is the source of all authority and of all law. In a country in which free schools, free churches, free speech and free press give all an education, which, rightly used, fits them for an honest judgment of all vital questions. In such a country as this, law, when en acted, is as near as man can approach to it, the rightful interpretation of the supreme will and law of God, so that in a true sense it may be said that the voice of the people thus expressed is the voice of God. Ages of Saxon lib erty and Christian civilization have so trained this nation that there is in the great mass of our people an honest reverence for law, more than for our army, or navy or police, or all of them. This reverence T for law protects us, and is the bulwark of our peace, and our prosperity, ' and our progress. Break it down, and we have no army, or navy.or police, that could keep order in this country '.for a day. All our armed forces would be chafed before a whirlwind of popular uprising, and the heart and the conduct of men, by this reverence for: law and patriotism that it implies, were it removed. "Nobody would be safe. - No man's house, no man's property, no man's person would be protected. So again in this country a man,, who occupies a position of public trust, elected there to by his fellow citizens and sworn to uphold law and enforce the law; to obey it himself and to see that others obey it— that man, when .he becomes an ally of the v lawless and partakes in the spoils or 'profits of any lawless business, he is a. double criminal. When public officials become the allies of criminal classes' and make themselves rich out of any criminal business, they are the worst criminals in the country. Whether the law reaches them or not, God help me. I will try to do what I can to reach them with God's truths The chief cities of this country are stained and rotten with corrupt deeds of chief officials who are themselves corrupt. -, ■■ ■ "It is more than a political offense, more than. a social crime. It is a sin against God and against man; against the memory of our fathers. • "To live, fatten and thrive on the vitals of the nation is to commit sin. It is the duty of every pulpit; platform and newspaper to sound alarm, to awake and arouse the people to their peril. -■;. The voice of the coming generation was heard last week in one of the courts of this city, pleading and pro claiming reverence for God and law. All honor to an attorney for the peo-^ pie who did his whole duty, so far as I have been able to judge, in the prose cution of the people's enemies, the criminals, in official places and out of them, who have polluted and pervert ed and corrupted the people to the best of their ability and power; and that young attorney, and not only one, but millions of American young men, that will stamp this political infamy in the earth. Crimes against mothers, daugh ters and sisters of this world were braved by two young women who faced all the pollution exhibited in that court in behalf of their daughters in behalf o their homes* with all their virtue and sanctity, and in behalf of their sons and brothers, who were ex posed to this infamy, and those two brave women, representing their sex ought to be hpnored by a law of men that reverence their mothers and sis ters and their wiVes' and daughters. I want to spit in the face of any man whether he beta politician, or a hired attorney pleading the cause of cor rupted officials, that assaults woman hood when that j womanhood is trying to protect home arid virtue." : JS C>9i .: ORDER, OF. LAZARUS. Rev. F. Bloomer Opens a Mission at St.i Joseph's. An audience of 800 men assembled at St. Joseph's church; Virginia and Car roll streets, last evening, to participate in the first meeting r of "Mission Week." an institution of the Roman Catholic church, under the auspices of the Or der of Lazarus Fathers, correspond ing to the revival services of other de nominations. The Order of Lazarus Fathers is a missionary society, whose members, divided into bands, tour the country, conducting . revival services among the Catholics of the different cities. Father R. M. Bloomer, of Min neapolis, is at present engaged in the work in this city, and will hold services in all the St. Paul parishes during his stay. Speaking last evening upon the immortality of the soul, Father Bloom er denounced those lecturers who went about teaching that there is no God, and delared the whole universe a testi mony of a Divine Creator. . Everything in nature pointed to divine origin. Par ticularly was this true of man. It was folly and madness to suppose man.with his wonderful intellect and physical construction, . had been made to be eventually blotted out with no hope of a future. There was a God, there was a hereafter and man had been endowed with an immortal - soul that he might partake of the next life. The speaker believed this to be true and thought his hearers were of the -same opinion. If this, then, Is the case, should not every one endeavor to obtain a part in the hereafter 'among those whose deeds in the body had entitled them to the highest place in the world to come? No man had ever lived .who had been supremely happy injhis world,but*here was the hope of reaching that state by as the hope of reaching that state by virtue of the immortality of the soul. Every man had it in 1 his power to make or wreck his chances of enjoying fu ture blessedness by' his mode of living his present life. If virtue and morality were outraged each individual must pay the penalty; nor could any one else be blamed for the loss sustained. It was a choice to be freely made by all. In the opinion of the speaker there could be but one choice, and that to accept God and live one's life for the glory and upbuilding of His kingdom. For those who thought otherwise, he would -say: "Seek ye first the king dom of God and His righteousness, and all things shall be added unto you." Father Bloomer will address a simi lar meeting at St. Joseph's church this evening. >j-v .-.. NINTH WAS NEW. Director Seibert Adds Some Gems to' His Repertoire. It was a crowded house which greeted Director Seibert and his or chestra yesterday afternoon at Con over hall for the ninth concert of the winter series, and it is safe to say that the music lovers in the audience appre ciated the excellent treat given them. From the opening march to the de scriptive piece which closed the card, there was nothing which was not thor oughly enjoyable, and considerable re gret was expressed that the series was so near at an end. Charlie Tarbox's march, "The United States Wheel," dedicated to Director Seibert, was given its first hearing In this city, and is bright and martial in its character. It was given a hearty reception by the people, many of whom recalled Mr. Tarbox. Perhaps the most pretentious number was the magnificent overture to Ros sini's opera, "Seriramide," which was thoroughly well played. The shading was excellent and the beautiful pass ages were taken with good effect. The soloists were more than ordinarily well received. A. D. S. Johnston, the basso, added to his reputation by his rendi tion of Adam's "Holy City," and was forced by the applause to repeat the last verse. Jacob Danz second gave a pretty "Romance," by Bennet, on the trom bone and for an encore "A Heart Bow ed Down." Perhaps the soloist who was most enthusiastically received was young Master Lucius Anderson, a pu pil of Emil Straka,the violinist. The lad essayed to play the rather heavy "Lu cia di Lammermore," by Vleuxtemps, and did very well from beginning to end. His good bowing and general accurate playing won for him a recall, to which he responded with a dainty selection prettily played with muted strings. Au ber's overture, "La Muette di Porticl," a double number including a Jensen serenade and a minuette by Bruell, in lighter vein, and some selections from Meyerbeer's "Huguenots," filled out a well balanced programme, which ended with a decidedly catchy descriptive piece by Lueders, called "An Evening at the Ball." FRANK HASKELL'S FRIENDS. A Host of Them Pay the Last Sad Tribute. The funeral of Frank E. Haskell, whose sudden and tragic death on Thursday morning last was such a shock to his friends and fellow work men, occurred yesterday afternoon from the undertaking rooms of Quinby & Abbott, where a large concourse of members of Typographical Union No. 30 and the Ramsey County Junior Pio neers were assembled to pay tribute to the dead. The funeral proceslon took its way to the pretty little Swedenborgian church, at the corner of Virginia and Selby avenues, where touching serv ices were held by Rev. E. ' C. Mitchell, who has been not only the spiritual adviser of the family of the deceased, but the daily counselor and warm, personal friend of him who has gene and the orphans that 'are left be hind. The services were simple, as had always been the desire of the deceased in life, but the simplicity of the Swe denborgian faith made them very af fecting in the presence of the little ones that have been left fatherless by the unfortunate accident that carried away their protector and guardian. Several simple, but neat floral trib utes were placed on the bier, among them being one from the Daily Globe chapel, where he was employ ed; one from the Ramsey County Ju nior Pioneers, one from Rev. E. C. Mitchell and one from the children. The interment took place at Calvary cemetery, where brief services were held. The pall-bearers were E. E. Bay less, James F. Baker and liouis Green lee, .of the typographical union, and Richard McNamee, Silas Forman and William Koch, of the Ramsey County Junior Pioneers. CRUSADERS ON WHEELS. Bicycle to Be Used to Advance Total Abstinence. > The weekly meeting of the Crusad ers' Total Abstinence society held at Cretin hall yesterday afternoon was exclusively a business session. Fol lowing the disposition of the routine matter, the question of how to in crease the membership of the organ ization was fully discussed, resulting in a decision by the society to inaugu rate a contest among its members, and to offer a high grade bicycle to the one bringing in the greatest number of recruits before June 1. Final ar rangements were also made for the presentation of H. J. Byron's comedy in three acts, entitled "Our Boys," by the Crusaders' Dramatic club.

STEER AWAY FROM THEM ALL HIS ADVICE TO THE YOUNG MEN IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY. NOTHING MANLY ABOUT THEM. Each Responsible for Its Share of the World** Shame, and Alike to Be Shunned. Rev. Edward P. Ingersoll, D. D., pas tor of Park Congregational church, de livered a very able sermon yesterday morning, taking his text from Matthew v., 84: "But I say unto you, swear not at all." Proverbs xxlii., 3l-32; "Look not upon the wine when it is red; when it giveth his color in the cup; when it moveth itself aright. At last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder." , Among other things, Mr. Ingersoll said: Aside from the benefits that society bestows upon us, we are bound by every blessing which lifts above the hermit to seek its good. If we have not squandered our virtue good society has a place for us. It is just as foolish for us to sit down and pine or grum ble because we are not taken under somebody's protection and "led out," as to complain that somebody does not teach us astronomy or set us up in business. Some men yield help to so ciety as an. old pump yields water. You pour down it more than you get out of it. Others are like mountain springs. Into social life . must we go if we are to meet the demands of our nature. But as you look at the surface of this demand it seems almost wicked to press a young man into hearty com panionship and then, as he yields, to warn him that he is in the midst of fearful dangers. But while the danger lies there the blessings which are best are wrested I from .the grip of danger. "No battle, no victories! No victories, no crown!" And there are always more dangers toward degradation right where there are the best opportuni ties for a noble life. The deepest, dark est abysses are hard by the loftiest mountains. The richest opportunities or blessings, when averted, make the direst curses. A temple of gold, when I desecrated, becomes more debased than a temple of clay. So our social natures, which ally us to the heavenly will— if perverted— us down to infamy. And now — to enumerate all the false lights and siren voices would be as im possible as. to picture all the changes of the kaleldescope. Permit me to speak of three habits that press and insinuate themselves with cursing de lusion. The first name is profanty. Did I now know to the contrary, I should say that a man who has self respect enough to attend church would never swear. The grand -old English language, the richest or all tongues, has poiverty when we ask her for words to express our contempt for pro fanity. What a terrible evidence that God is in the thoughts of men when blasphemy is the witness. Who makes a plea for it? Gambling has its friends, the social glass its champions, but who lifts the gauntlet when profanity claims innocently? I know the secret of its hold upon young men. 'Tis thought to be manly. . Manly, indeed! Swear, then, upon all occasions! ( Take the lit tle sweet boy upon your knee (your brother or perhaps your sen) and teach him to curse. Let all your words be pure. Give us no excuses for oaths, but the rather a round pure speech, which is "like apples of gold in pict ures of silver.'.' i The second habit I name and warn you against is betting. Betting is gambling. In remote antiquity it had its hold -upon men, -and it loses none of its fascinations among a modern civilized 'people. ' On the contrary, the habit of . taking fierce stimulants; the jaded appetite for luxury, the inability of wealth to give keen pleasure, seem to Invite this lordly excitement. Our country, behind other lands in neither good nor evil, is blackened by every form of gambling. High circles and low circles are cursed with betting. The skill of a pilot in threading a channel, the .skill of a surgeon in prob ing a deep and dangerous wound, are the giving of substantial benefits, are an equivalent for a price paid; but the gaming man, ..though he be a re spectable citizen who bets a hat upon an election, is tampering- with integrity and debasing the dignity of labor. He is risking property upon' which others have a claim. He is breaking God's law, which, beginning with "in the sweat of thy face-- shalt thou eat bread," receives new expressions and longer sanctions in the ever unfolding word of God. Young men, let alone this evil. "Touch not, taste not, han dle not." . The mariner studies his chart and then steers his -good ship away from the reefs on which ships have been stranded. ' ."" ' "'" " "A harmless [ amusement." He who believes this in regard to any form of betting is sojourning in the "valley of deceit." Another warning, and I then leave the subject of social abuses. Not be cause there are no other rocks where ruin lurks, but because God has given to every one of us an unfailing test. Keep to the channel, young man. Keep to the channel! It isn't neces sary for you to run around and touch all the rocks ;of ruin in order to know where the safe way lies. And now for the warning. It is against intemperance, so cunning in its arts, so enticing in its claims. Ev ery year in this land an army of more than fifty thousand drunkards i march into their graves. They come from the brightest talent and are lured to death by the poison of the "harmless social glass." Such . power does this'; appetite- for drink at. length assume that all the better aspirations are torn down. The passion for drink burns down self-re spect, natural affection, and love to God- and man..

Welcome the kindling from on high, be ye transfromed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." RUIN OF ROME. Rev. H. T. Phelps Dlscasses Union of Church and State. The subject of discussion last even, ing at the Wacouta street chapel by Pastor H. F. Phelps was "Christian, Patriotism; or, Shrould This So-called Christian Nation Recognize the Diety of Jesus Christ In Its Constitution?" Mr. Phelps said that the subject was suggested by certain measures now pending, and being strongly urged in the present congress. Said Mr. Phelpsi This pulpit would not do its duty to the people of this city if it failed to raise a warning voice. There have been times in the history of Christian ity when the Christian could not cher ish a spirit of patriotism and at the same time be true to the principles of Christianity itself. Such were the days of ancient Rome, when Christ and the disciples were upon the stage af action. Roman laws made it an act of treason to teach any other religion than that authorized by the state. It has ever been the case, where re ligion was united with the state Chris tians were at a disadvantage and suf fered persecution. In fact, there never was but one gov ernment in all the world, through all the ages, where the Christian could manifest a spirit of patriotism— a spirit begotten of love and fidelity for the laws and institutions of the govern ment under which they lived. This be cause there never was but one gov ernment in all history of governments that was formed in accord with God'» idea of what a civil government should be Paganism, the world over, was but a union of religion and the state. Indeed, paganism was a state religion. WHERE MARLI KING DIED. Terrible Suffering Reported From Far Off Armenia. The national Armenian relief commit tee has just received a report of the progress of the relief work from Con stantinople, Feb. 15,- as follows: "The slaughter at Oorfa proves even great©-* that first reported. Miss Shattuck, whs) Is alone there, refuses to leave tha stricken people. At Aintab there are about 3,500 destitute receiving aid At Ma rash there are over 5,000, and an ex pectation of .20,000 more as 'soon as the settlement at Zeitoun permits access to that region. At Hadjin 1,500 people are receiving aid, about half of them from outside the town. Sivas cries for more money, having learned more fully the destitution at Gurun and other places. At Caesarea Messrs. Fowle and Wingate have visited ten villages in .the Gemerek region, where 1,000 fami lies will have eaten up their last grain by the end of this month. About sev enty-five bales of clothing, sent from here, have reached Caesarea, and the most part has gone on to Sivas and Harpoot. At Erzroum Mr. Chambers is crushed under the relief work, and Mr. MacNaugton, of Smyrna, goes on today to reinforce Erzroum. Dr. An drus, of Mardin, telegraphs of 10,000 destitute in the Kurdish mountains. Harpoot has about 100,000 destitute in 200 places dependent upon it. Mr. Gates says he does not get time to eat, but he does not mind that, if only he can be sure he will not be told there is no more money. "The distress is increasing, as the few supplies of the people are exhausted, and the sickness, due to exposure and hunger, is spreading. In view of the fact that the obstacles to relief work have been so largely overcome, while the need is greater than ever, the large and prompt contributions are most ur gently requested." ......
