by Miss Eunice D. Sewall, was sung by the
congregation. The pastor, Rev. F. E. Clark,
preached from I'd Cor 9-15:-"Thanks be unto
God for his unspeakable gift
This is an especial time for gift giving, and
all gifts point back to that first of all gifts
which was given to all the world almost 1900
years ago. There are three essential charac-
teristics to all gifts. 1st-The spirit which
prompts the gift; 2d-the sacrifice required to
make the gift; 3d-the intrinsic value of the
gift. All gifts must be measured by these
three standards. All earthly gifts may be
measured, and the self denial necessary may be
understood, but the love which sent our Saw
Jour to live with US and to die for us is un-
speakable. The mother love-the highest love
comprehensive to finite minds-is not un-
speakable. All stories of heroic self denial
on battle field, in hospital, ON the sinking ship
or in the deadly plague stricken cities of the
South can be understood. Noble, heroic men
and women! They gave their lives for others,
but they did not leaYe Heaven to come to earth
to lie in manger ana to die upon cross.
This gift OF Christ to us alone is unspeakable.
1t was prompted by unspeakable love; it in
volved unspeakable sacrifice. 1t is of unspeak-
able intrinsic value to US. Can you estimate
that which passeth understanding? That gift
which makes us "heirs of God?' Do these
gifts to us carry with them nothing for us to
do? Do you not desire to give something for
gratitude for this "unspeakable gift?" God
honors us by accepting from us such service as
we can give; not only those things which we
can give from our substance, but he accepts
our conservation of ourselves to his service.
None are too young to gvetthis; none are too
old to commence this grateful service to Him
who has done so much for u.s.

P.rnnu Rcitera:es His Charge Against
Queen Victoria.

Pornnn Rcitera.es His Charge Against
Queen Victoria.
New YORK. Feb. LIN reference to the state
ment made recently by Parneil, that Queen
Victoria contributed nothing in 1877 to the
Irish famine, the denial of which statement
Lord Randolph Churchill has cabled here.
Parnell has addressed letter to the New York
Herald in which he says: In reference to Lord
Randolph Churchili's contradiction of my
statement that the Queen gave nothing to re-
lieve the famine in lS47, 1 find that l might
have gone still further and said with perfect
accuracy that not only did she give nothing
but that she actually intercepted G,000 pounds
of donation which the Sultan of Tur-
key desired to contribute to the famine fund
in 1877. The Sultan had offered donation of
ten Thousand pounds, but the English ambss-
sador at Constantinople was directed by the
Queen to inform him that her contribution was
to be limited to two thousand pounds, and that
the Sultan shall not in good taste give any
more than her majesty, hence the net result to
he famine fund by the Queens action was a
loss of six thousand pounds.

merited eulogy of our departed friend. We
have come together with quite another feeling
and purpose; not to record, not to praise not
to preach, but in obedience to an impulse of
irresistible mourning.
Were it not necessary to check my own emo

my heavy heart would pour itself out as
molten lead on the cold bier of him who is
not-for God has taken him.
One sensation, to-day, agitates this thronged
meeting house and pervades still greater multi
tudes who do not find place within its limited

able loss attaches itself by the present provi-
dence of God to many hundreds yea, thou

was summoned and the young man was soon
resuscitated by the proper restoratives, but
he was not able to attend the funeral.
Precisely at , O'Clock the remains were
carried from the house and deposited in the

sion being led by Gen. Sibley and Capt.

proceeded to the First Baptist church, which
