ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE AFFAIR.

William, dated Arequippa, Peru. March 50, stating
that on March the ChiliNns came down 5000
strong upon Mollendo, where was stationed the
shops and machinery ofthcM. A. IL Puma railroad,
on which James and William Campbell were en-
ployed. james at once ran all the movable ma
chincry and engines back into country place and
safely buried the other machinery. The two
brothers were captured, but succeeded In making
their escape. James was recaptured, and upon
steadfastly refusing to tell whore the railroad ina.
chinery was buried, they tied him on the back of
horse with lasso and led him over thirteen
miles OF arid sands with the sun beating down
upon him, multitude OF horses trampng up the
dust and yet all the way his pleadings for water
were met by jccrs. Once when he made request
of one of tho guards II was suggested that he
be shot; another thought he wasn't worth
the lead, and so he was finally brought TO, An
senda, where he was put in Jail. Subsequently he
was tried aud sentenced to he shot, but such so
far has not been been his fate, and the letter ex-
pressed the belief or hope thatit will not be. Upon
finding that they could not by threats or punish
mont induce young Campbell 10 tell where he had
buried the machinery, tho Chilians set fire TO tho
shops, and as the iron pillars would not burn they
put dynamite under them and blew them from
their places.

A Sermon by an Old Pastor at Foundry
Church.

Church.
Rev. DR.. a. +. Gibson, of Baltimore, formerly for
three years pastor Of Foundry church, occupied the
pulpit of that church yesterday morning, and
preached an interesting and eloquent sermon, tax
ing his text from Hebrews, H. ls-"For in that lie
himself hath suffered; being tempted, lie is able to
succor them that are tempted" Suffering, said he,
Is always in resisting temptation. 1t is sin at the
end OF temptation with its hardness unmasked that
pains the soul. Temptation to the Christian IL
painful because he Gbhors sin. The aim oftcmpta-
ton is TO reverse our nature. God gives to each
human being his or her peculiar nature the forces
of which he or she eSeTts as he or she desires.
Temptation is possible aud dangerous to all. Did
Satan know his weaknesses by supernatural knowl-
edge 70 as to hold temptation to his advantage?
MOI Ifso We have all the disadvantage and he
all the advantage. lr so, God made him His own
equal. If Satan had known the inside Of Job he
would never have engaged in contest with him.
the outcome Of which secured to Job the gTandest
victory and himself an appalling defeat. His ig.
norance made him overreach himself which
proved Of great advantage TO Job, the same
as humans nowadays overreach themselves
by setting trap into which they
walk. Haman built gallows upon which he hung,
and the Jew, for whom the gallows we've built, sat
in the temple. Temptation never proves one weak;
Il proves simply Jealousy OF the devil and men.
Satan must study, estimate and mature his plans
for our destruction; every one is in danger. Our
foe pursues us from the cradle 10 the grave per-
sstently as man can be persistent God forbid
that we may ever think we are safe from
at the turning point aud are on our way
10 destruction. LEAD lis not into temptation
We are neverSafe while In temptation. While il is
not sin, IL is the seed.plantng of sin. Many u
mans soul has been ruined simply from triiling
with temptation. Let temptation find u lodgneut
and our fate is sealed Christ offers himself not
his wisdom or power, AS succor to every man IN
time of temptation Christ is the only master Satan
acknowledges. He will never acknowledge man.
no matter how many times he may be defeated
Our only delverence is to call on Jesus. The most
persistent temptation il that OF death. lie never
knew Christian TO fail ut this point. Christ spe
caly overlooks at this point Do not forget in the
hour of danger or temptation, TO call ou Christ the
great delyercr,
