London Christian World, Nov. 23d.


DR.. Farrar, canon of Westminster,
and author of the most popular
"Life of Christ" of our time-read
and admired of late years in
thousands of Christian families-has
been preaching at the Abbey on
subjects relating to the future life.
Both last Sunday and Sunday week
the Minister was crowded with people
to listen to these discourses. The
throng was 80 great that many had
to stand throughout the services.
Our shorthand writer has provided
us with verbatim reports of both
sermons. but our space is 80 preoccu-
pied to-day with other matters that
1--WE can only give summary ofthem.
In his first discourse, based upon
/ Peter, iy. 6, DR.. Farrar discussed
thsssab; ~ OF the future punishmsnt
Of the ungodly. In reply to ques-
tions which he assumed his audience
to be asking, and which it was the
bounded duty of ministefs of the
Gospel, as far as possible, to answer,
he, for one, in all deep humility,
yet always asking God for fearless
courage and perfect honesty, would
try to give such answers as he could.
II it was but the fragment of On
answer, it was because he believed
it TO be Gods will that no other
should be possible. Those who
took loose conjectures for established
csrtainties, those who cared more
for authority than for reason and
conscience, those who pretended to
dignity with the name Of Scriptural
Argument inferences out Of the mar
row aperture of single texts, those
who talked with the glib self-com-
placency Of an ignorance which calls
itself knowledge, as though they
had been admitted into what, with
unconscious blasphemy, they called
the Council Chamber of the Trinity
they, perhaps, might speak readily
of FIRE and birthstone, and might
feel the consolatory glow Of . person
al security - they dilate upon the
awfulness and fnality of those suffer
ings o. tho damned. But those
whose faith must have o broader
basis than hollow representations
than The ambiguousness of opposing
texts-thoss who grieve over the
dark shadows flung by human the

Pacific Coast Ship Building.

The ship building industry on the

NEW ENGLAND SHIP BUILDING.
Fifty years ago New England
Maine in PARTICULAR was widely
celebrated for the number and ex-
csllence of the ships there built.
The vast forests of the Pine Tree
State seemed inexhaustible, and
from them timber of the most excel
lent quality was obtained and fash
ioned into ribs, knees, planking and
spars, and sent to the great centsrs
Of the ship building industry that
lined the banks of the great rivers.
A feet Of ships was yearly launched
from the bustling ship yards along
the coast, and every town near the
sea boasted Of its score or more OF
stalwart youths who had visited
old England, sailed up the blue
Mediterranean and cast anchor in
the bays Of sunny Italy; who had
crept near 10 the poles, and crossed
the burning equator; who had ssen
India and South America, and who
told wonderful stories Of travel and
adventure.

some recollections Of General Har-

ney, he says, was the finest specimen
of a man, physically, he ever saw.
"Tall, straight, muscular, broad
chested and gaunt-waisted, he was
one Of the class which Trelawney
describes as natures nobleman,'
against whom the plague in the East
never made an attack. Had he
lived in the time Of Homer, hewould
have robbed Achilles Of the sobriqust
of the 'swift-footed, for he could run
faster than . white man and farther
than an Indian. Harney was also .

At about 1890 o'clock last night, at the resi-

mosquito bar. Officer Gus Meyers. who was
near at hand, came in and as he supposed. OK
tiDguished every vestige OF the fire. At that
moment the fire bells rang. and an elder son
Of Mr. Mcmahon started to, follow the engines,
His mother went In search Of him, and on
returning home she heard the cry that her
house was on fire, and knowing that her infant
was In bed she rushed frantically TO the scene.
bnt before arriving the entire bea was In flames
and her child was burned almost to death.
She tore it from the ravages Of tbs devourng
element, and carrying it across the street to a
grocery laid 1t on the counter Drs. Dreyfus

THE TREE QUESTION.

Up to 3o'clock yesterday afternoon the sur
veyor's department had examined about $40
more OF the trees planted recently. all Of which
wore found without life with the exception Of
about twenty five. The total number examined
amounts to 40 trees. less than thirty Of which
are alive. 1t Is fortunate that Surveyor d Hem
ecDurts attention attracted to tho OBJ
jections of Administrator Cavanac made
mt tho last Council meeting. to The ne
ceptnnce Of the work done by the contract
or Mr. John Hill. Sngularly enough. and
although all city work Is required to be certified
to by the Survt yor. he was entirely ignored In
this matter. and but for the objections Of Ad-
ministrator Cavanac the report Of tho two gar
dener experts might have been accepted by the
Council IS final and tho contractor been paid
for deal trees Such will not be- tho case now.
for not even tho ordinance authorizing the pay
ment to Mr.. Hill Of s725 for planting tho first
batch Of trees will be- carried out. Mayor
Pisbury says that tho report Of the experts was
first presented to him. but that he refused
to approve Of 1t because Of tho indefinite char
actor Of its language. and that ii was thereafter
presented to the City Council. We learn from
Surveyor d'Hemecourt that In several cases
not only did the contractor fail to comply with
the general terms Of tho specifications Of his
contract but that he actually drove stakes nt
the loot Of young trees that had been previously
planted by the city, and that tbs probability Is
that tho contractor has included these trees
among those planted by him. Tosay the lens
the entire affair indicates sad negligence
which has involved the city In the expenditure
Of u couple Of thousand dollars for nothing.
