CHURCH NOTES.

At the Congregational Rev. F. T. In
gals in the morning preached an excel
lent sermon, taking for his text John 6,
66-6S. The following is q brief out
line Of the discourse:
The same truth strikes minds differ
emily. Some believe and some reject It..
Some doubt and some mock. In jesus
ministering some believed and some
went back, and we may ask what men
turn away from, when they turn away
from Christi
In giving up the gospel we give up
all faith IN any future good. Outside the
gospel We have only the results of hu-
man wisdom, and that gives us no hope
of future good. Science can only tell
Of cycles OF birth and death /;
of growth and decay, and it is the only
from the word of Christ that we get hope
for anything beyond. We must also
give up our hopes for humanity at
large. The word Of science is that the
planets will become unhabitabIe and that
the race will perish, ana that the light
of the sun will go out. Mankind would
not be worth working for If this were
the end. We might better eat and drink
and get what good We can.
In going away from Christ, we must
also give up our faith in the Fstherhood
OF God. We learn this from the Bible.
Jesus teaches Us to say sour Father !"
Without the Bible God is only the IN
movable and the unknown. We should
also, in giving up Christ, lose our sense
of human responsibility and sinfulness.
We could no longer believe IN the atone
ment, nor In the divine mercy for we
learn of these not from nature, nor our
own minds but from the Bible.
It is Christ, also, who announces q judg-
ment, when all the confusion of the
world will be adjusted; when good will
prevail and evil will be put under foot
To whom then shall we go, if we tur n
away from Him. He has the words of
eternal life.
In the evening the pastor delivered the
first Of . series of lectures on 1.-THE Career
of the Apostle Paul" This series which
wall be continued on subsequent Sab
bath evenings was auspiciously inau-
gurated.
At the First Baptist church in the
morning a powerful sermon by Rev. w.
Il. Barnes was followed by the sacra-
ment of the Lords Supper. At the
close of the evening sermon and the at
tendant interesting exercises, the rite OF
baptism was administered. Six per-
sons, converts ct the series of gospel
meetings in progress. were immersed. At
this service the attendance was very
large and the interest deep, as has been
the case during the week. The house
was crowded and many were turned
away. not being able to gain admission.

There Is gong 20 be an enormous
gatherisg of people At Washington next
month. and while every provision Is BE-
ing made In advance to avoid confusion
and insure the comfort of all, still sthe
gods help those who help themselves"
To look ont for number one Is but the
natural course 9 sensible man would
follow. The railroad situation In Wash
ington IL easily to be understood. There
are but two depots in the city. Into one
will come an aggregation of travel from.
the south, the north, the east and the
West-train after train, thousands upon
thousands OF people, until packed like
sardines IN box" would be but feeble
way TO put It. Into the other depot will
only come the trains of the Baltimore and
Ohio, that company owning and using
it exclusively for its own business
everything in the hands of its own off,
cials, and details so arranged that there
can be no mixing up nor getting on or
of trains at wrong times and wrong
places. Indeed, II would not take much
thought on the part of those who have
had any experience whatever as ito
crowds TO appreciate the advantage the
B. 81 o. possesses in Washington. Then,
too, there are the facilities the lines
have in regard to track room and unre-
sGricted means of getting trains directly
| into depote. For instance, the B. & o.
| is the only road into Washington which
can and does separate its passenger bus
iness so that trains from the west come
into Washington on the tracks Of one di'
vision and the trains from the east and
north upon the tracks OF another divis-
| ion.
The great Importance of these facilI-
ties may be appreciated from the fact
that all the trains that enter the national
capital, upon other lines than the B. &
| O., come together in q single depot, and
the packing and jamming will be some
thing terrific to behold. let alone getting
| in and about them. The great number
of trains from the southern lines alone
would completely fill q depot with
double the capacity OF the one in ques.
ton, and when to them are added those
from other sections. the chances are thai
good many passengers will have tC
walk into town or spend the DAY Oh
night aboard in vain regrets that tickets
were not bought by the B. s. o.
Another item of no ordinary interest
to western people is that by any otheI
| line 10 washington LnGn S0S DAILiAOts
81 Ohio all trains from the west have Il
come together with trains from the cas-
and north, and all use one south bounC
track for forty odd miles. That is Il
say, that no other line but the B. 8 o
has two different divisions into Wash
ington, one for its trains from the ives
and the other for its trains from tn
north and east. All this may prov
more or less confusing or perpleXtng T.
those who contemplate attending the In
augurstioD, aHd the best way to settle al
doubt is to decide to 60 by the B. 8 O
and thus avoid all danger of going
wrong.
