THE baptist oHuRoH.

A large and attentive audience lis.
tened to an interesting sermon deliv.
cred by Rev. w. e, Tynes vest, rday
morning. Taking his text from Acts
ii, 40, he discoursed upon the injunc.
ton Of st. Peter, on the memorial day
Of Penticost, when addressing the peo.
Pile: "Save yourself from this unto
ward generation" My friends, he re-
marked, untoward here means
crooked. perversed. II we examine
ourselves we find that we are a crooked
and perversed generation. There are
none of us who are not crooked. st.
Paul the brightest star in,the constella-
ton of early Christians, had to con-
TESS TO lack OF perfection. Paul
said, 1.-THE good that.I would do not;
but the evil which | would not
that do l." There Ia no
man perfectly straight; no man
but what Is more or less
crooked. He elaborated this thought,
showing the crookedness of the race
or generation-and exhorted the peo-
pie to "save themselves from this unto
ward generation The next thought
that he brought out was the method or
plan by which the people could save
themselves; that is by faith In Christ.
He dwelt upon this point, making IL
clear to the minds Of his audience that
faith WAS the appointed means by God
to effect the salvation of the people
from their sins and from the result OF
sin. He gave an impressive illustra-
ton to explain this faith, by
supposing case where the
child, being In second-story
window, hears the voice Of her father
down at the cellar door, and although
she sees him not, her faith prompts
her to leap into the darkness and fall
into his arms. Just 80 with the sim
ner, He hears the voice Of Christ In
the gospel, "He that belleveth In me
hath everlasting life," and believing
il, he leaps Into the outstretched arms
Of Christ and is saved. IL is>simply
trusting; relying implicitly on Ills
word.
The last view taken OF the text was,
that If any one failed TO save himself
from this untoward, crooked or per-
versed generation, the fault lies at his
own door. Everything is ready. The
triune God has made every prepare
ton for the salvation OF men.
Now In order to be saved you must
believe In Christ. A business man ia
too busy to attend to religion, too much
hurried too enjoy life, too much alb
sorbed in his business TO become prop
erly acquainted with his own family.
He Is not happy; he Is slave to bust
ness. o, God! that mans life il a
failure. At the great judgment you
cannot ask pardon on the ground that
you did not understand the doctrine
OF election, that you did not compre-
bend Predestlnation; If you are out OF
Christ ysu will be lost.
After the sermon at the Baptist
church there were four applications
for membership. Three others who
were received last Sunday were bap-
tised In the baptistry. II was serious
and impressive ceremony.

The Cost of Russia's Last War.

New York Times.i
From the crossing of the Danube in
June, 1877, until February, 1873, the
Russian loss in killed and wounded was
S9,304. The cost of that little war in
money was equally frightful. The Off
cial report of the total expenses was 9O2,-
100000 rubles. The silver ruble is equal
to about 50 cents, but the ruble current
in Russia then appreciated nearly one
third. During the war this paper cur
rency swelled from I'll, 100000 to l, 154,
0OO,U00 rubles, and loan followed loan.
Still the lesson of peace does not seem to
have been learned. Under another
burden killing tax and virtual bank
ruptcy must follow peace whatever the
issue of the struggle, and it is not impos.
sible that even if Absolutism be victori-
GUS in the field it may meet It's death
blow at home. At least that is the view
of Kingkiller Hartmann, who speaking
in the name of the Nihilists, is reported
to have said that during the war the
Terrorists would be quiet, confident in
the belief that the sequel of the war,
whoever conquers, will be the ending of
the line of Cars.

They Meet in National Convention at St
Louis.
The annual convention of the National
Wool Growers association met at st. Louis.
1t was presided over by the president, Hon.
Columbus Delano, of Ohio. Speeches were
made by Jerome Hill, president of the Cot
ton Exchange; Geo. W. Allen, acting may
or of the city; Gen. w. T. Sherman and
President Delano. The secretary's report
was read and adopted. Officers for the en-
suing year were elected by reclamation, as
follows: Columbus Delano, president; Al
bert Chapman, secretary; G. d. Bell, treas
urer.
The following executive committee was
also elected: l. II. Pray, OF New York; E.
Bronson, of Kansas; A. Sims, OF Texas.
Colonel Coleman, commissioner of agri-
culture, who was present, was called on for
a speech, and responded by saying that the
department o. agriculture would use every
honorable means to encourage the enter.
prise of the wool growers OF the country.
An investigation had already been made
by the department on various subjects in
connection with wool growing and the re-
ports should soon be published. Efforts
will also be made to eradicate the various
diseases which are SO destructive to sheep
Several resolutions were offered and re-
ferred to the committee On resolutions
Chapman, of Vermont, Wallace, of Mis-
souri,, Congressman Converse, of Ohio, and
others were in favor Of q protective tariff
for wool. Vernon, of Texas, said the Unit
ed States could grow better wool than
Northern Australia, and would soon COM
pete with Southern Australia.
Resolutions were adopted demanding the
restoration of the wool tariff of 1867. They
recite that since the alteration in the i'm
port during 1883, 100000 has been lost
to the wool-growers of America in lower
prices alone, saying nothing of the depre-
citation in the value of focks. These fig
ures are based on comparison with the
prices of 1882. 1t is set forth that if the
tariff is not restored, the sheep husbandry
of the country must be abandoned.
A confederation among the American
producers is recommended to educate the
people to the necessity of preserving suit
able state of legislation. The association
declares it will support such men as are in
favor of protection to the wool interests.
The executive committee has been ordered
to meet at Washington at the next session
of Congress.
