Rev. Ma. SPURGEoS.-The power for good o
a single man could have no better ILLUSTRATION
than Is furnished by Mr.. Sturgeon. of London.
He has more than ordinary ability. yet there arr
many men in England of more ability than he.
His own heroic, persistent purpose, with remark
able common sense, and knowledge Of human ma
ture, and devotion to the Master, has rendered
him not only the most noted preacher in England,
but one OF the most useful men in the world.
As pastor Of an immense congregation he has
great power, yet his agencies outside of his church
are even more effective and extensive in their in
fluence than he could possibly exercise asa pastor.
His College has several hundred students, from
America, and Germany and Austria, rs well as
Great Britain; l55 young men have been educa-
ted for the ministry in it; 80 new churches have
heen formed through its means, and - chapels
have been erected. and ii additional churches are
in process of formation. He does much, also, for
the youth of London, aud much for the poor.
His direct influence is felt almost everywhere, in
that mighty centre, and indirectly he makes him
self felt over the globe. His career should be
studied by all who desire 10 be greatly useful,
whatever may be their sphere. His success should
all with zeal and hope, wherever they may
labor.

TREASURE HUNTNG.-Somc years ago, that is to
say in 1902, Il Spanish vessel laden with untold
treasure, but which II estimated ut SO, 900 600,
sunk near the SPANISH coast. About those days
an Anglo-Dutch fleet was in Spanish waters en-
gagged in the cheerful work of destroying cities
and towns. While they were in front Of Cadiz.
the Spanish vessels from the Indies arrived. and
being unable To- get into Cadiz. they sailed for
NiSO. where they arrived in safety. One of the
yessels Of this Indian fleet was heavily loaded
with gold and silver. This could not he landed
without certain formalities, and Spanish red
tape which was in those days more tangled
than any - rel tape - the world over, was put in
rcquisition. The - circumlocution Office = was
set in full blast, and the Spanish revenue officer,
one Juandc larrea was 50 specially dilatory, that
the Dutch fleet came around from Cadiz, pitched
into the Spaniards generally, seized thirteen ships,
and sunk seven, one of which was the treasure
ship.
There the treasure has laid for these one hun
drcd and fftv-six years. and now a contract has
been made with an American to raise the Span
ish vessel and recover the treasure ii possible. Ii
Will lie an interesting search, and if the search is
rewarded. Spain will be put in funds, that in
1902 would have been quickly wasted.
