heads together affectionately. They have
sweet faces, and their fathers pride in
them is not only justifable but praise
worthy and enviable. Marshal Denny's
trusted deputy, and an old standby in the
Office is Mai. Bracket. whose face is as
familiar about the custom house as the
very door knob. He was first appointed
deputy marshal in 1858, under President
Buchanan. He served four years in the
war, but on his return was reappointed and
has held the Office ever SINCE having been
appointed under every president since
Pierce. and under every marshal except

consummate your own PROJECTIONS!
While effort in the pulpit breeds abili-
ty, generous appreciation around 1t
surments the merit it admires. Utter
ance is always effective in proportion
to the mental power il represents.
Primitive apostles heayed the mind OF
ages, as tides heaye the ocean, because
their own impassioned natures were
mighty. The mutually between the
spirit OF Peter and magnanimously-pre-
pared Cornelius rendered the first SER
mon at once the expression and weapon
of almighty effectiveness.
Brethren, pray for u.s." lnterces-
sion is a manifest principle in Gods
method Of perfecting His universe. Just
as in the physical system one world Is
lighted by another. and one life is by
another life sustained, so in the moral.
He blesses one spirit by another. The
most comprehensive body Of theology
man has ever manipulated, compared
with cosmical instruction, resembles a
tiny island in mid.ocean, cut oil from
the mighty continents Of the globe.
Geology is not the earth, astronomy is
not the stars. neither are dogmatic
creeds the Gospel; they are only few
imperfect ideas about grand and glo-
rious system Of infinite wisdom and
love.
vainly hoping to find perfect
preacher in our day, we will thank
Providence for that model congregation
which is described in connection with
our text.
Promptin Afteadance.- The grateful
centurion said what must have been a
most suspicious indication to the stran-
ger, Peter. " Now, therefore, we are all
here" They were waiting for the
preacher, and not the preacher for them.
No loafpg to neutralizc teaching.
Prepared in SPIRIT" Present be-
fore God" When people are interested
enough to come promptly. sincere, and
humble, their highest expectations are
likely to be largely realized, because a
sense Of their own weakness Will lore
close captious complaints.
Practical in Purpose" To hear
all things that are commanded thee Of
Cod" They looked above the mes
senger to Him who had sent him. Ex-
cept as we recognize the Divine au-
thority Of the truth there can be no
zeal good. May that spirit prevail
here-the whole counsel of God, with
no picking and choosing. Heaven give
us peerless honesty in both speaking
and heariDg-the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth, so

memorial services to celebrate General
Grants birthday, meeting in behalf
OF Iudian cd ucation, in which red and
white orators divided the time. There
were meetings of the American His
| torioal Society, meetings OF the Ameri-
can Surgical Association, and lastly
the great calico meeting, for which
| society had been cutting and fitting all
through lent. Easter week restored

Taulbee, who said the law was con-
ceived in sin and brought forth in
! inidnily. He commended that its
founder, Senator Pendleton, had been
m ade cats paw, aud that Commits
sioner Eaton had made money out of
+! the sy stem.
Toe Senators discussed steamship
sub sides. From this they driftsd iuto
u tariff debate on the relative condition
of labor In this country and Europe,
and they listened to prohibition
speech from Senator BAR although
there was no temperance bill before
| that body. Since the Senator from
New Hampshire is always agitating
some m oral question lie Is called one OF
the purests OF the Senate.
But his speech was none the less good
for its being irrelevant. he said In con-
clusion that he had spoken partly as a
Republican. He believed in doing this
that he spoke more as an American and
more az O man. With all its faults
with all it's failures TO reach Its ideals
he thought the Republican party was the
great agency, which, under God, had
saved the Republic That party would
yet, from the law of its superior being
and unfinished mission, concentrate It'll
tremendous energies upon this gigantic
national evil until it was destroyed. r
