THE GOSPEL CAN AND OUGHT TO
BE PREACHED TO THE WHOLE
HEATHER, JEWISH, AND NOLAN
MEDIAN WORLD IN THE NEXT
Ten YEARS.
10 the Officers and Members of the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States, and Of all the Evangelical
Churches of the World:
DEAR BRETHREN Il undertake
to make an appeal to my bretheren
of all the evangelical Churches of the
world, so far as God in his provi-
dence may move upon the hearts of
my bretheren in America, Europe,
and other parts of Christendom, who
control newspapers, reviews, mission
airy magazines, ETC., to insert in their
columns this effort to arouse the
whole Christian world to one COM
bined effort to give the gospel to the
whole heather, Mohammedan, and
Jewish portion of the population OF
the world in the next ten years.
The command ofthe Saviour to his
Church is, $50 we into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every cfea-
ture; he that believeth and is bap.
tized shall be saved, he that believ.
eth not shall be damned"
AS this is the command of oul
Lord, and as he has distinctly told
us, that at the judgment day our ac'
ceptance by him will depend upor
our having done works for him indi'
cative of saving faith, it is very
manifest that we have no rationa
ground for expecting Il place in thu
heavenly home and the heart of oul
Lord, if we fail to obey this, among
other commands of his.
Now, since it is our imperative du
ty and to our highest interest tina
this command be obeyed, why delay
it?
Let us address ourself to this grea
and tremendous business (befor
which all other matters that belonj
purely to time, pale into the utmos
insignificance), and accomplish it
with the divine help, in the mex
ten years, at least. Now, can it b.
done?
In order to accomplish it, the mel
and the money adequate to compass
sing this end must be supplied by tn
Church. Two important question
arise: LIST. AS to how many mel
would be needed? End. AS to tn
amount of money? The number O

ALMOST On THE ROCKS.

The Pilot of the French Steamer, La Cham
payne, Loses His Bearings in North River.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, March 2G.-The French
line steamship, La Champagne, Capt.
Boyer, from Havre, very nearly went on
the rocks of Governors island early this
morning. The fog was dense and the
pilot lost his reckonlngs, and
but for the assistance of several
tugs the steamship would either
have gone on the rocks at the island or
on the wall of the Battery park. La
Champagne was nearly eight hours over
due when she arrived at Sandy Hook at
10 o'clock last night. She left HavTe
on Sunday, March l6, and should have
been at her dock in the North
river by Monday morning at latest.
The long passage was due to heavy
weather. The vessel arrived at quaran-
tine late last night, and was one of the
first to be passed after sunrise this morn
ing. She left quarantine shortly after
1880 'cleok. The fog was very dense,
according to the captain, and
the pilot ordered reduced speed.
At the mouth of North river the
pilot lost his reckonings. There was a
heavy ebb tide running, and, as the ship
was under reduced speed and therefore
making no Roadway, the tide from the
North river swept her bow about
and before the pilot knew it
he was rapidly approaching the
shoals about Governors island.
At about 'clock, when the fog was at
its densest, the pilot decided that he WIS
considerably out of his channel, and the
vessel was brought to a standstill. She
had hardly been stopped before the out
side of Governor 5 island doomed through
the fog. The tide from North
river was sweeping the vessel on
toward the rocks. Capt. Boyer
ordered the anchors cleared. The star
board anchor was dropped aud it caught
in the rocky bottom. Signals of dis
tress were blown, and the tugs Vulcan,
Capt. Roach, and r j. Morgan and a
revenue cutter responded. Lines were
passed to the three boats and in a few
minutes the nose of the big ship was
pointed in the right direction aud then
anchor was weighed, the tugs cast off
and La Champagne steamed away into
the fog in the direction of her dock,
where she arrived without further acci-
dent shortly after 8 O'Clock. The
steamship had $50 storage pas
sengers and several hundred
of first aud second class passengers.
When the ship stopped a panic was i'm
minent, but the officers assured the pas
sengers that nothing in the world was the
matter, and so they quieted down.

MAYOR GRANT IN THE RING.
He Says Barnum Shall Not Erect his Show
Tent in the Fire Limits, and Legal
Tilt Results.
Special TO the Gazette.

NEW YORK, March 26-The greatest show on
earth and the only P. T. Barnum have gotten
into collision with Mayor Grant. The mayor
is on top so far, but Barnum & Bailey have taken
legal action to compel him to grant license so
that their big show can open at the polo grounds
on April II. Mayor Grant refused to issue
license because the application for it had been
disapproved by the superintendent of buildings.
tents and platforms. The board of fire commits
sioners think it should not be erected inside the
fire limits. The showmen maintain their can
vas is fire proof, and that there are no buildings
near enough to the polo grounds to be endaDg-
cred. They got an order to-day from Justice
Mayor Grant to show why mandamus should
not be issued compelling him to consider the
application, which Barnum {, Bailey assert he
has so far refused to do. The case was to have
been argued this afternoon, but, owing to the
absence of Barnum & Bailey's counsel, it was
postponed until tomorrow.

Let's All Stop.

Editor Gazette.
Let 8 all stop booming the town. Let g
lay down our oars and let the craft drift
awhile, and see where it will land. Let s
confine our attentions exclusively to trad
ing lots with each other, and the devil
take the poor fellow that finds him
self with them on his hands.
These thoughts are s suggested, Mr..
Editor, by the apathy that,seems to have
overtaken the town in all public matters.
No one seems to have time to attend to
anything that concerns the town as a
whole. No one seems to have a cent to
put into anything but lots. Everyone
seems to imagine that the town is doing
well enough because it is in a
more thriving condition than
it ever was before. They seem to forget
that the larger il becomes the greater
effort it requires to keep it in motion.
A few years ago Peter Smith could look
after its interests and attend to
all its public concerns, but now it oc-
cupies more ground than any one
man can cover. He must have
help. There should be an organization,
with money at its command, and good
board of directors to spend it. The state
Democratic executive committee meets
in few days to select place for hold
ing the convention. Fort Worth
could have it for. the asking
but no one has time to look
after it, to raise the money to entertain
it, to write to committeeman asking
the committee to favor the selection of
this place.
Let this go on while longer and you
will see men rushing around to sell lots
more anxiously than they now do to buy
them. MossBACK.
