Another Glass.

Last week we stated that crying babies
should always be kept at home and not be
taken to church. There are another class
that should stay at home--the gallant young
man and the dear miss who never come to
church except to whisper and to gggle, con-
stantly disturbing the minister and the con-
gregation. 1t is very unbecoming to be
mashed on each other in church. Ex-

The Hot Spell.

A LtVfd Heat-A DOlOrOus Communaty-
 The Welcome Change in the Weather.
 The late exceedingly hot spell which ex- torted so many groans from g perspiring community and caused public attention to be turned toward thermometers, soda fountains and the town pump, came to an end Saturday night, and the gentle and continued rain of yesterday, with the accompanying decidedly cooler weather, was gratefully welcomed. The town pump was pumerously appreciated, and everybody voted it a public bsnefaction and good Samaritan. The soda fountains whizzed and fzzed and fans were in great de- mand. The dry goods clerks, many of whom had to stay on duty till 9.ao or 10 o'clock Saturday night, confessed themselves perfectly wilted. A great impe- tus was given to the business at the watering places, and the Cant-get,away club looked miserable when contemplating friends of for the mountains or seashore The hat and trunk stores did 8 good business, ditto the ice cream parlors- There was general joy when the rain began to fall yesterday and more joy to see it fall so gently and continuously upon the parched earth, laying the dust in the streets and re- freshing the gardens and the grass. The grass on the Old Green showed unmistak
 able evidence of suffering Saturday and the copious shower yesterday much refreshed it.
 The crops throughout the State probably re- ceived equal benefit, notably the hay crop.

Sermon by Rev. MT. Prudden-The King
 dom of God COmeth Not by Observation.
 Rev. Mir. Prudden, of this city, preached at the forenoon service at the North church from the text in Luke xvii, 20-21, s'The kingdom of God cometh not with observa- tion; neither shall they say To here or there for lol the kingdom of God is within vou,' This answer to the Pharisees' ques- tion is in marked contrast with their expec- tation and to the Jewish belief in the king dom of God. The Messiah's kingdom com ing upon the earth to thousands was an earthly kingdom, the exaltation of the Jew ish race to rule every nations people and tribe The splendor of great cities and their rulers, the glory of conquest and riches was to belong to the Jewish nation. They now were Respondent. In deep humiliation they were governed by the Roman people. Their own kings and prophets had long been num-
 bered with the dead. Their great city of Jerusalem and Solomon's magnificent temple
 belonged to the Gentiles. Very far of seem the earth Jesus and his disciples in con- mon with them were subject to the Romans.
 Yet he tells the Pharisees that the Messiah's
 kingdom has come, and in their hearts and
 in the hearts of all mankind takes it's place of
 authority and power. In this our day of AVOA AOA
 the coming of Christ's kingdom to be shown
 by outward signs. We point to mission work
 in foreign lands, to reVivals of religion far
 and near among our own people,
 to noted preachers using the gospel power to awaken men to righteousness as evident signs of Gods kingdom. The
 ''stiIl small voice. of conscience enlightened
 and taught by the Holy Spirit speaking in our own and in the minds of others is all unheeded. The refining, purifying power al work in the minds of believers and unbelieV. CTS makes nothing of the trust in outward signs of the coming of Gods kingdom, but gives all glory to him in whom we have our being, to the religion which is s'true, honora ble, just, pure, lovely and of good report. The prayers and singing appropriately added to the hour of worship their usual fitness anc interest. The rain storm at the close of the
 services caught many unprovided with over coats or umbrellas. The marked change o. temperature was sudden surprise

Good Sanaritans.


 Music by an Orchestra and Singing by
 Quartette Address by Ex-Judge Bly,
 denburgh.
 The Good Samaritans held their usual Sunday evening temperance meeting in Peck's Grand Opera House last evening. Notwithstanding the storm which prevailed there was good attendance and an interest ing meeting. The orchestra gave some fine selections at the opening of the meeting, and quartette from the Church of the Mes siah sang an anthem in very acceptable manner. They were heartily encored, but simply bowed their thanks.
 Judge Blydenburgh was the principal speaker, Rev. MT. Houghton having failed to appear "from some reason better known to himself'' as was announced by President | Albee.
 Judge Blydenburgh in his opening remarks said that the prevailing storm suggested l subject to consider. He said that an ap- preaching storm had been predicted in the l daily papers, and those present had seen the I storm clouds approaching. The storm had kissed the Rocky Mountains, and rolling on had reached New Haven and had given vege- ' tation new life Proceeding, the judge said: l You saw from the daily papers a day or two ! ago that the storm was coming, and in these papers you find all events of the day equally well chronicled. You have learned from these great sources of information the his- | tory of murders and suicides, and you have also learned that these deeds have almost invariably been | committed by persons who at the time have been under the powerful influence of intox- icating drinks. While the press has in 8 great measure become the educator of the young and the old, these crimes are recorded and should arouse the attention of the peo- pie to the great evil of intemperance. You will never find that men who have succeeded in life have reached eminence through the use of alcoholic stimulants. The instrument of death in the hands of the assassin, be it pistol or dagger, has never killed one-thou- sandth part as many as alcoholic liquor, yet the community shut their eyes to the evil of intemperance. Ia closing the judge urged those present to sign the total abstinence pledge and aid in sweeping the curse of in- temperance from the land.
 After brief address by c. D. Albee an in- vitation was extended to those present to come forward and sign the pledge and quite number aYailed themselves of the opportuni- ty thus afforded.
 More music and singing followed and the meeting was then brought to @ close. The Good Samaritans appear to be doing 8 good work for the cause of temperance and while receiving the moral support of the communi- ty, will no doubt be aided financially so far as their expenses are concerned, which is con siderable amount every week.

Dwight Place Church.

The Teachings Of Christianity - The
 Present and the Future Life.
 At Dwight Place church yesterday morn ing Rev. T. R. Bacon preached vigorous sermon from Romans, 6:23, 'tFor the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord"
 Mir. Bacon said: Christianity is very far from standing alone among the religions of the earth in teaching the survival of the soul after the death of the body. The old Hebrew religion stood almost alone in not teaching it. We always find in all people some shadow of belief in the immortality of the soul. The instinct of 8 man which teaches him that he shall not wholly die is apart from any revelation. There are there general beliefs concerning the state of"the soul after death besides the Christian idea. First, the common classical and poetic notion among the heathen poets of Greece and Rome we find presented to us in the works of poetry and in the popular imagination. Their idea was that men sur- vive not as living souls, but astfeeble ghosts and fitting shades that hover about the river of death. An acute writer has con- tested that this indistinctness of the future life as it is conceived in part is due to the lack of distinctness of belief on the part of those who hoIdit A state of lingering between
  thing must either be or not be. The heathen notion was of something shadowy, impaIpa- ble, indistinct. A second form of belief among heathen nations is known as the doe Urine of the sftransmigration of the human soul, it passing out of the body of the man into a beast, losing not it's identity but it's consciousness of identity.
 The third form of belief is what we may call the pantheistic notion, which contends that out of the eternal light there has sprung forth spark which is human life. The spark falls back into the eternalat the end of. life and is absorbed into it forever. The, soul is but part of the infinite and not distinct personality at all. These three ideas practically cover the whole heathen doctrine regarding immortal life. The Christian doc Urine of eternal life is that of continued ex- istence. The doctrine of an endless life is not one in which there is necessarily any hope or any comfort. The mere conscious ness of existence is not blessing, it may be 8 curse. Those who think that existence is of itself blessing are laboriDg under an er- roneous opinion. Mere continued existence might under some circumstances be bless. ing, it might under some circumstances be no curse. We cannot conceive of anything more awful than that the weary day of our earthly life should go on and on forever.
 The doctrine of eternal life as declar ed in the Scriptures is that of 8 distinct personali- ty. As Christ revealed it some understa nd it. The apocalypse is largely beyond our comprehension. Yet the fact that we main tain distinct personality in the future is clearly set forth. ''The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord"
 In the afternoon special service of the Sunday school took the place of the regular discourse.
