third, an educational qualification for every
voter; four, nonsectarian Amer

and public property not to be used for sec

be enforced by legislation. The sessions
are held with closed doors. It was said by

THOUGH SILENT, YET STRONG.
An Instructive Lesson Given by Sir*.
Cooper to Her Class.
The Second Psalm _was the basis of the
lesson in Mrs. Cooper's class yesterday.
Why do the heathen rage and the people
imagine a vain thing? --Because," said
the teacher, " error is always noisy. Truth
can always afford to be calm, bin is for
ever raging against holiness, and brute
force is apt to feel that noise is p ■ we-*. But
the fact of the matter is. the silent forces
are the strongest forces. Gravitation makes
no noise, but it is .steadfast in its power.
When solid character is lacking there is sure
to be excitement, restlessness and aimles?,
irrational proceedings. Let v- break
their bands asunder! In other words, let us
do as we please I We can break away from
law In this world, if we like, but we must
needs take the penalty. Just exactly so, is
it, if we break away from moral law aid
rectitude. It brings its penalty. Nature's
laws laugh at us when we defy them.
Touch a redhot stove with ever so good in
tent and it will * mock at your calamity.'
There Is an everlasting fidelity In God's
laws. They are not fickle and changeable,
like man in his caprice and contempt,
God's government, like /that of a true
parent, is a spiritual dominion of thought,
rectitude, sympathy, culture and discipline.
A very interesting part of the lesson was
devoted to the discussion of Individual re

soonslbillty. Mrs. Cooper said: "Bear this
fact in mind, as a principle of life, that
every person must stand for himself, think
for himself, find ont truth for himself, and
answer for himself. This Is the law of
being. And sa it comes to pass that respon
sible Individualism is the "oundation cle
ment of government and of society, whether
we regard society as framed of God or
fashioned of man. The explanation of a
person's deeds is to be found in the quality
of his character. 'As a man thiuketh in his
heart, so is he.' »»■■-•
The last verse of the lesson, "Blessed are
all they that put their trust in him," brought
out much of comfort to the sorrowing.
"Faith and trust," said Mrs. Cooper, - "are
the result of spiritual powers, set in opposi
tion to sorrows and hardships and the ex
perience of everything going wrone, as it
seems to us. Faith is forever looking out
on the heavenward side, and it sees wonder
ful rainbows in the rain." * ' *'*V
A JACKSON MEDAL.
It Descended From Old Hickory to Perrie
Seven.
There Is in the possession of Perrie
Kewen in this city a bronze medal, which is
regarded as a treasure iv the eyes of the
ordinary Democrat, and which has drifted
about until it fell into the hands of its pres
ent possessor. It is not a beautiful medal,
but it is interesting because it is one of the
original ones voted to General Andrew
Jackson by Coneress for his services at the
battle of New Orleans on the 7th of Jan
uary, 1815. The material of which it is
comnosed is bronze and ii is about 3 inches
in diameter.
On the obverse Is a medallion head of Old
Hickory, with thn words "Major-General
Andrew Jackson." The reverse bears the
inscription. "Resolution of Congress, March
15, 18-& Battle of New Orleans, January
7. 1815."
There is no doubt of the originality of the
medal, as it was fouud among the relics
left by Jackson at the Hermitage when he
died. As he left no children the medal
passed Into ether hands, and finally found
its way to the National Museum at Wash
ington where it remained until quite re
cently, when it came to Kewen, who
proved himself to be the nearest living male
relative of the great Democrat. The re
lationship is traced through Nancy Donald
son, who was a sister of Jackson's mother,
aud who was Kewen's great-grandmother.
CHURCH BUILDING.
Iter. JoiC])h _. Scott's Practical Ideas of
Kellgion.
Bey. Joseph E. Scott, the acting pastor of
the Woodbridt*e Presbyterian Churcb,
preached a plain but pointed and practical
sermon yesterday morning from a threefold
text taken from Matthew xxiii:lO, "One Is
your master, ever Christ"; 2 Cor. viii:l2,
"A willing mind." and 1 Cor. xiv:4o, "Let
all things be done decently and in order."
These differeut passages were used with
reference to the work of building up aud
strengthening a church, and the discourse
was design- d to give light and supply aid
hr the process. The necessity of head, to
whom all are subject, was illustrated by
(reference to the erection of a large building
where each workman pursues his own line
of work independently, to a great extent, of
all the others, yet all being under the direc
tion of the superintendent. Harmony is
secured, and the danger of misfits and
other mistakes in the construction is
avoided. Thus, when Christ Is recognized
as the head of the church and all the mem
bers are submissive to him, everything will
go on smoothly aud legitimate progress will
be secured.
"A willing mind"— a readiness to do
promptly and cheerfully whatever the Mas
ter requires is as necessary in building a
church as in the erection of a temporal
structure, and decency and order are as es
sential in church as in commercial life and
work, or in domestic or social affairs. For
lack of these many an industrious and en
ergetic man has failed in business and for
the same lack many a church is known to
languish.
System in the various branches of work,
regularity aud punctuality in the attendance
upon meetings for worship, decorum of be
havior in the congregation, including the
portion constituting the choir, kindness of
demeanor to waul me another and courteous
treatment of strangers, and all working to
gether harmoniously and for the one great
object which should animate every servant
of God, will inevitably result In building up
a church and making it a powerful agency
for the accomplishment of its legitimate
ends.
WESTMINSTER CHURCH.
The « ii- !•_; ii i.vi I: ilsing Money for a
New Church Kdiflce.
The congregation worshiping at the
Westminster Presbyterian Church on Fell
street, near Laguna, devoted a portion of
the time alter yesterday's morning service
to the business of increasing the subscrip
tions to the new church building fund.
About $3000 additional was pledged, bring
ing up tho total cash subscription to dale to
$13,000.
Edward Kimball, who is famed among
churchmen throughout the country as a
man gifted in thu art of destroying church
debts and making givers was generous, did
most of thu talking in Westminster Church
yesterday. It is said of him that since he
first engaged in this distinctive field of
soliciting, he has raised nearly fifteen mil-
Iron dollars for church buildings out of the
pockets of church people. He was assisted
yesterday by Bey. J. Q. Adams, the pastor
of the congregation. .-*> „
The Westminster Church Society have
bought a large lot at the corner of Page and
Webster streets. They need $51,000 to ac
complish the object In view— S2l.o.-0 for the
lot already purchased and $30,000 for the
new church building. Toward the fund
they have received a contribution of $5000
from A. Montgomeiy, and -their present
church property on Pell street Is
worth $17,000. The canvass, which was be
gun on March 27, under the lead of Mr. Ed
ward Kimball, is to raise the remaining
$29,000, toward which, as stated, they have
tnus far secured £18,000.
First English Laiherau Church.
The altar and surroundings at the First
English Lutheran Church place of worship,
on Geary street, near Gough, were beauti
fully decorated with evergreens and flowers
at the Palm Sunday services yesterday
morning. The choir sang appropriate an
thems, and the pastor. Rev. O. C. Miller,
preached from the text Matthew xxi, part
of verse 15: "The children crying in the
temple and singing Hmmmm to the son of
David." After the sermon a class of
catechumens, 21 in number, received the
rite of confirmation. The services were
largely attended. This week being Passion
week will be observed with services evary
evening. -
Not Attended by m Doctor.
Annie Smith, a colored waitress, was
found dead yesterday morning in a room at

but as she had not been attended by a phy
