SUPPOSED BURGLAR CAUGHT
Constable Miller arrested in Virginia
On Saturday Chinaman supposed
to lie the person who but few
nights before burglarized Judge
Hickey's store. He was found in
possession of some of the stolen
property. 1t may be that the attempts
at burglary that have been made
both here and in Dayton have been
the eff Of Cinnamon, but it is
hardly probable. The trial Of the
one in custody may lead to some

"HE HIT ME. ="

Some twenty years ago during sacra-
mental meeting held in the good old county
of l., lying east of the Blue Ridge
Mountains in Virginia, it became evident,
on Sabbath, that there was deep seriousness
in the congregation. The pastor of the
church determined therefore to continue the
services on Monday. A young minister
from neighbOring church was assisting him.
At the close of the Sabbath services the
ministers went to the house of friend to
spend the night The young brother who
had to preach on Monday, excused himself
to the family, and went to his room early,
to mediate, and arrange his thoughts for the
service of the next day. At much later
hour Of the night the pastor came up to re-
tire. Finding the younger hard at work
jotting down notes, the elder of the two asked
him what he intended to preach about the
next day. The answer was simply THE De.
M." "Why," said the senior, "that is a queer
theme for sermon in the midst of revival
of religion" Nevertheless said the young.
er, I" I am shut up to it. My mind won't
take hold of any other subject. 1 must
preach about the Devil, and his temptations
or not preach at ALL" At a late hour the
notes were finished, and with fervent pray.
er for the blessing of God on the sermon,
the preacher went to bed and to sleep.
The next day large assembly convened

the discourse from the text, "We are not

vigor of a full intellectual manhood he could

adversary to cheat souls of their eternal
welfare were brought out with clearness and
distinctneas. Among the devices reaorted to

HOW FAR CAN SATAN SHOOT?
BY REV. H. H. HALVES.

The man who is "almost persuaded to be
Christian" but who has gotten no further
than that, is often but little suspicious OF
deadly peril. And yet he is the man who,
of all others, is in the greatest danger. He
imagines that he has gotten almost to the
place of safety almost beyond Satan s
power. Be it 30. But almost saved is
not saved Those who have read "Bunyan's
Pilgrims Progress, will remember that even
while Christian Yves entering through the
"wicket gate, he received quick pull from
Goodwill, lest Beelzebub should shoot him
before he could enter. That was not all a
dream There is fearful truth illustrated
in that incident. The sinner may suppose
that as he has come SO near to the very gate
of heaven, there is no need of prompt and
decided aclion.vr Sut let hiIn know that some
of tie most unerring and fatal shafts Of the
" adversary" fly to their mark where men are
'aOt far from the kingdom Of GOd." The
bondage of sin seems long way off? The
fetters have been left far behind? Near to
eternal life must be long distance from
eternal death? Does any one ever think
so? Nevertheless the arrows of the Destroy
er can speed SO quickly over all the distance,
that delaying soul may be struck down at
any moment. Capernaum, exalted to
heaven, could be thrust down to hell. Why
not the sinner of to-day? Nay, there is no
place of safety outside of "the kingdom of
of God" Therefore, 0 lost souls, make
haste to enter! If you ever intend to be
saved, receive your salvation nOw! If you
hope ever to accept Christ as your Saviour,
do 1t mOw Don't put it off. Anywhere
short of an actual coming into "the king
dom you are running the risk of eternal
death. No moment is safe; no place is
safe; no soul is safe And for some it
must be, mow If ever Now or meuer =
If you would know how far the fiery darts
can ay, stand as nearly as you can within
the way of life without actually entering.
And right there-even SO seeming ly far away
from perdition, they will reach you. How
soon, can be known only to Him who says,
"Now is the accepted time; behold now is
the day of salvation. The time must be

Safe at Last.

A correspondent of the Mew York Observer
says:
A striking example of the glorious saliva
ton that is of grace through Jesus, came
under my observation some years SINCE
Mr.. A. was elected to the office of Treasur.
er in county of Ohio. He came under the
power of an unprincipled man through ille-
gally loaning him sum of public money.
Being threatened with exposure by this man,
he was induced to become an accomplice in
robbing the Treasury; submitting to be
bound and gagged while the thief removed
the money from the safe, even taking Mr..
AS private purse. OF this stolen money the
Treasurer received no share.
For many years he carried burdened
conscience, and finally confessed, and was
sent, together with the robber, to the State
prison. While in prison he embraced the
salvation of the gospel, and united, think
with the Methodist Episcopal Church. Be
fore the expiration of his term of imprison
ment he was taken sick, and was reprievei
by the Governor that he might die at home
He died shortly after his release, and hi
last words, addressed to his wife, were: "Saf'
at last, Nellie"
"Safe at last" This utterance was th,
sigh of relief from soul that had passe(
through darkness and tempest-a soul tina
had been bruised upon the rocks of error
though not sunken in the ocean of perditior
arriving finally weary and sick, but safe
h, into the port Of heaven.
"Safe at last" A soul finding "rest o
Him who said "Come unto Me, all ye tina
labor and are heavy-laden, and I will giv'

"Safe at last" He had made shipwrecl
of life and trust and honor, and his sou
had well.nigh gone down into the depths
but the strong arm of the "Mighty to Save
had held his head above the waters and
brought him alive to the better land
"Safe at last" Life's errors were al
past ; frailty and corruption were passing
into the dust and the soul, sanctifed by
the Spirit of God, and washed white in the
blood of the Lamb, was rising to the sinles;
purity of heaven.

Palestine Colonization.

A deputation from the Palestine Society
of the Universal Alliance waited on the
Turkish Ambassador, in London, last week.
They represented to his Excellency that
there is a growing desire in this country to
promote the colonization of Syria and Pal.
estine, by persons of good character, and
more especially by Jews, willing to devote
themselves to agriculture and other indus
trial pursuits. They likewise pointed out to
him the financial advantages to his own gov
ernment likely to result from the proposed
utilization of waste lands, and asked if the
Ottoman government would give encourage
ment to such settlers. His Excellenoy as
sured the deputatiOn that his government
would welcome the colonists who might be
sent out, give them any amount of land, on
peculiarly favorable terms, ensure them Of
protection, or, if they preferred it, allow
them to remain under the protection of their
own Consuls. The interview was so salts
factory that Palestine Colonization Fund
is almost certain to be formed without delay.
This little fire may yet kindle great wood
