SEVENTH AVENUE METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH.

DR.. Wild on How Perfection is To Re
Gained-Mrs. Dwyer and What He
Thinks OF Her Crime.
Seventh avenue Methodist Episcopal church,
Brooklyn, was well filed yesterday morning. The
pastor, Dr.. Wild, selected his text from Hebrews,
", 8, 9-"Tnough he were q son, yet learned
he obedience by the things which he suffered"
DC. In the earthly life OF our Saviour. said the
preacher, doctrine and practice sustained q beau
tiful relation one to the other. His whole career
was q sublime exposition OF inward conviction
and heavenly design. man adds convicting
force and clearness to the utterances OF his lips by
observing and practicing the rules OF eiocution.
So Christianity gains in favor and increases in
power when the followers or Jesus confirm their
faith by consistent practice. Gods idea of SIN,
and Gods remedy for sin, can best be understood
by studying the life and character OF Christ, for in
Him the problem OF mans reconciliation with his
Creator Is curiousy and faithfully brought out
with an intensity Of suffering and meekness OF
endurance, that when known cannot fail to COM
mand our love and admiration. In Jesus human
lty received second trial, the success Of which
at once reveals the true source OF evil Because
the first Adam fell either rom created weakness
or perverted competence Now, since the second
thus condemned sin in the nesh, by proving human
ability sufficient to overcome temptation. God,
that honorably permits lifes issues to now on and
life and sin are permitted to exist together. Tue
Divine brought this about by means OF an atone
ment-an atonement which, while nonoring the
law, makes glorious provision ior hfe-salvation
and the forgiveness OF SIN. The true way
Of becoming perfect is by doing the will
Of God. This as In every thing else, Ia
thing OF progress. Repeated action
gives and habit becomes equal to instinct in time.
We must learn that possibilities are neither
special Weaknesses nor SIN. An illustration OF
this Ia furnished by the terrible murder which has
been committed during the past week In Williams
burg. Mrs. Dryer kills her children out OF an in
sane conviction or over faith In heaven. The
reason she alleges for the act is that she wanted
to send her children to heaven Her anxiety about
her husbands being ont OF work and her religious
convictions unbalanced her mind, but her love for
her chlldren's future safety renamed mistaken.
In her poverty she had wondered what would be-
come OF them and she hoped they would get to
heaven, and when her mind became shattered she
resolved TO send them there. Probably her reason
was not dethroned all ut once 1t tottered little
by little till IL was overthrow. Knowing her
rash desire 70 put them from the evil TO come she
should have been cautious about taking murder
Gus weapons in her hands. strange possibility
in her was tempted all at once, and It should be q
warning to US that when we become aware that
possibilities may become probabilities we should
be guarded when evil opportunities are crowding
upon US, to Zee from temptation.

Evansville youth did not want to be beat
en- by man who had LOAD while he bau
an empty skiff, so he bent himself to his
work with great energy. Row us hard as
he might, the oarsman on the other side
kept ahead of.him, until the young man
made up his mind there was something
wrong with the curren. and be tried to
cross.
This seemed to give additional energy to
the other oarsman, whose feathered oar"
was piled with such will that he gained

MARK TWAIN's HOUSE,

FROM the dsritoro lines
Most OF the residents of Hartford know
that Dir. Samuel II. Clemens, otherwise
known as Mark Twain, is building res,
idence on Pennington avenue, sh ort dis-
lance east of the stone bridge on that thor
orshfare. Many of the readers of the
Time; doubtless have had at leas, an exter-
nal view Of the structure, which alres Il
has acquired something beyond local
fame and such PERSONS, We think, will
agree with rs in the opinion that~it is one
OF the oldest looking buildings 10 the state
ever designed for dwelling, if not in ths
whole country. Prem an inspection of the
building. now fastapprosching completion,
we are able to give the following descrip-
ton Of 1t
Its located on lot of ground some 6i2
feet by about 400, just west of Forest. St.,
being on the south side OF t'armincton ave-
nue.. It's OF brick and three stories in
heighth, fronting easterly. The extreme
length Of the building is los feet 4 inches;
its extreme width G. feet inches. On the
west side there is an octagooal tower As or
81 feet in height while at the extreme
ends. north and south, of the house. there
are towers of less height. The designs for
the building were furnished by Messrs. FL
ward 7. Potter and Alfred H. Thorp, arch.
fleets, of New York, On the first floor
there Is to be parior, drawing room or Ii.
brary, reception room, dining room and
bedrooms. The drawing room en- the rear
OF the south end of the building, is TO open
into semi circular conservatory. On the
second floor there will be study, nursery.
se"ing-room and toldoir, housek PEI 3 IN
servants room, and numerous bath rooms.
On the third floor there will be a billiard
ROOM, artists friends room, toilet and
two servants rooms. The dining-room a,
the rear, on the north end Of the house, has
one feature we do not recollect to have seen
on any other Building, and that is a win.
dow directly above the fireplace. From it
t a pleasant view Of the avenue is to be OBJ
tanned. There are no less than five balco.
MES about the building, besGe that of the
ives. tower. A yarandah will run around
the south end and the east front of the
ground floor of the building with an extern

rooms will be furnished in black walnut
and oak, except the nursery and bath
rooms, in which butternut will be used
The main hall ways Of the building, open
from the first floor to the third, is Is by

very fine portion of tue structure. The
novelty displayed in the architecture of the
