Mrs. Welch's Jamboree.

Mrs. Welch is Milesian Amazon and lives
on Congress street near Washington. She
will get drunk occasionally and when drunk
she is ugly, ugly enough to fight the whole
neighborhood. Saturday she fortified herself
to do some ironing, and called on some of her
neighbors in an elated condition, and very
naturally became demonstrative so much so
that an officer was required to get her home
But Mrs. Welch was not content and soon
started on another raid, and the attendance of
the officers was again required. Two of them
started to carry her to the station, but it
required four to get her locked up, for ''she
fought, she bit and she scratched and she
kicked like wild cat. When Mrs. Bridget
Wech was finally got behind the bars she kept
up her amusement, and twice tried to hang
herself. She had to be watched all night and
was released yesterday morning, and will pay
her respects to Judge Knight tomorrow.

of North Carolina, delivered an eloquent dis
course at the Chestnut street church in the
afternoon. His sermon was based upon the
text from Genesis g. 22-24-"and Enoch walk
ed with God three hundred years." etc. In
Hebrews Ii: 5, we find: "By faith Enoch was
translated etc. Also in Jude, 14th verse; we
find another reference to him, and this COM
pletes the record of this great and good man.
We delight to read the history of great men
and to trace them in their growth from child
hood to old age, noting with interest any i'm
portant development in their career. For three
hundred years he walked with God and at the
close of his life God took him to himself-by
faith he was translated. He was not permit

moved him by translation. To us death pre-

preached at India street Univ ersalist church
from Acts xiii, 3S and 80: Through this man
is preached unto you the forgiveness of sin, and
by him all that believe are justified from all
things from which they could not be justified
by the laws of Moees." 1t is a blessed thought
God has provid ed us with Saviour in whom
is blended the human and divine. Some
preach Christ's humanity and leave out the
divinity, and some his divinity without his
humanity. But perfection i'll both is the
Bible truth. The preacher was very thank
full for the assurance of the human sympathy
of Christ, that it is worldwide and that every
class, from the very highest to the very low
est, may find in Him the most complete adapt
alton to their peculiar wants. How encourag-
ing the thought that women and children
found so large place in the Saviour's sympathy
and love. According to the text there is no
justification by the law of Moses, but in Christ
is the fullest justification from all sin to them
that believe. The law demands a perfect obe-
dience, which the scriptures and experience
alike clearly show to be impossible to human
lty. Ii man is justified by the deeds of the
law he would be saved by his own merits, but
we are only savrd by grace, which is the un-
merited favor of God. The offer of salvation
is not an unconditional one; the conditions ON
which it is offered are repentance towards God
ana 1alth towards our Lord Jesus Christ who
bore our sins in His own body on the tree.
How important the question whether we have
ourselves experienced this repentance and ex-
erclsed the saving faith. Such know what it
