Rev. X. II. Adams ANNOUNCED the
lopening hymn, and the Rev. G. w.
Prettyman led in prayer. When Bishop
Warren arose to preach he led In n
fervent snd devout prayer. Standing
at the pulpit, he announced the follow

verse "For brass will bring gold

will also make thy officers peace and
thine cxactors righteousness.
The Bishop said his sermon might be
considered very unthrifty and would
seem to indicate utter bankruptcy. He
then spoke OF the great treasure of him
who has such wondrous wealth to
bestow, and WAS always willing to
give the better for the worst or take the
bad end of . bargain. He described the
kingdom ofsuch untold wealth, where
the cobble stones of which the streets
were paved we're OF gold and the gates
SGT with the costliest pearls.
But IL man, poor, miserable wre' ch,
| was admitted to those gold paved
streets he would dig up the stones for
his own selfish use. No one but God
could have such treasures, and yet
there were figures on earth parallel
with 1t The great Atlantic out yonder
never knows exhaustion, ,norlras sense
Of being enriched by the waters Of such
mighty rivers as the Mississippi And
Niagara, gathering force from a thou
sand slopes and hills that flow down
into the great abyss OF wAters. Forty
million tons of water lifted bodily
from the great ocean and scattered In
clouds and showers over the country
ere not missed. There is n giving that
doth not impoverish God nor with
holding enrich him, and God Eis all the
time holding out the offer TO make us
las much as riches as gold Is richer than
brass, and brass richer than silver, and
Isilver richer than iron. and iron RICHER
than stone.
He Is always giving the best for the
worst. Away back in the beginning
he gave law and order where all WAS
chaos, anarchy and confusion. When
there was no possibility Of life upon the
moving, liquid, molten mass he cooled
the earth, separated the land from the
waters, made the green grass and YER
dure TO grow and gave human life.
He 10 always giving the best for the
