SERMONS IN CANDLES.
The Experiment Made by Mr.. Spurgeo
Not Very Long Age.

Not Very Long Age.
Mr.. Sturgeon had occasion, some
time ago, to speak to company OF
theological students on the impor-
lance of using illustrations in their
preaching. A student observed that
they found difficulty in getting illus
trations, whereupon Mr.. Sturgeon re-
marked, in his bluff way, that illustra-
tions enough might be found in tai
low candle. This was regarded as an
extravaganza, of speech, whereupon
the great preacher prepared lecture
to show what might be illustrated by
candles. In delivering his lecture he
used candles of various sizes and
colors, together with lanterns and
other suitable apparatus. Some OF
his points were Enthusiastically
witty and keen. A nicely japanned
but shut up box, filled with fine un-
used candles, illustrated an idle and
spiritless church. Several colossal
and highly colored but unlit candles
were shown, and with them a tiny
rush-light shining as best it could.
The big, handsome, unlit candles
might be Archbishops or doctors OF
divinity, or other persons OF culture
without piety, and the bright rush
light might be some poor boy in a
workshop whose life is beautiful.
Mr.. Sturgeon showed an unlighted
candle in splendid silver candlestlck'
and then a brightly burning one
stuck in ginger-beer bottle. he
showed what a few people might DO
by combining their good efforts by ex'
hibiting the combined light OF twelve
candles. The folly of trying to light
a candle with the extinguisher stll on
was shown, and the dark lantern Illus
trated the case of the people who make
no effort to let their light shine before
men. The lecturer then placed candle
under a bushel and atterward placed the
bushel measure under the candle
the point of which was obvious. II
snuffinq a candle he extinguished l
and remarked that Christians often die
like mischief by unwise rebukes anc
criticisms. The folly of burning th'
candle at both ends was illustrated
The last illustration was a number o.
lighted candles of various hues placed
together on one stand, Representing
the Church's true diversity in unity
all the different branches burning from
one stem and for one purpose SOM
one in the audience asked II the "dlps
did not give the best light, whereupoi
Mr.. Sturgeon said he was not sure o {,
that and thought many ofthe "olps
would be the better for another up
ming. The lecture was received wiz
GREAT amusement and showed Mr.
Sturgeon at his best. but 1t sun re

LONDON, March 30.-The Liberal man
ayers are professedly sanguine of vic
tory in the Enfield election which will
take place to morrow, but the rank and
file of the party have no hope of greater
success than a large reduction of the
enormous Conservative majority by
which the division was carried at the
last election. Niscount Folkestone was
elected to the seatby a majority of 2,002,
and if the Liberals can reduce it by
1000 they will do better than they have
any right to expect, even in the present
leaning of popular sentiment towards
the home ruler. The Pail Mall Gazette,
also anti-Tory and unusually safe in
political prediction, expresses the opin-
ion that the winning of the seat by the
Liberals will be little short of a miracle.

minor points, and the case was closed
for the prosecution. Bregadier Gen.
John Newton, retired, was called by the
defense. He testified that he was at
one time chief of engineers. He did
not think. with the duties of his office,
Maj. Lydecker could have performed
any effective personal work against
fraud. He had been n of the com
missioners of the New York aqueduct,
and fraud had crept in there, although
there was a large number of inspectors.
One other officer asked if the engineer
in charge of an important public work,
near his station, involving a large sum
of money, should not visit it frequently.
The general said that depended on the
satisfaction of the officer with the sys.
TEN under him.
