SOME SAGE ADVICE.

The Annual Address 70 the Theologi-
 cal Students Last Evening at Center
 Church-An Able Talk by . Boston
 Divine.
 The annual address to the graduating class of the Yale theological seminary was deliv- cred last evening in Center church by the Rev. Dr. Phillip Morton of Boston. On the platform were seated Professors Harris, Fisher, Brastow and Stevens.
 The address delivered was an able one. tssming with the soundsst advice to the young men soon to enter their professions. He spoke of the weight of personal experi- snos in inoulcating moral and spiritual less sons, and of the necessity of keeping ever in view the chief aim and object of preaching. He spoke of the necessity of wisely orgauiz- ing and directing the church and its work. There should be courageous and wise leader ship. He spoke of Christianity and culture and of the duty of the preacher to be alive and abreast of the thought of the times.
 Christianity welcomes and has place for every scientific truth that has ever been dis. covered. With Christ the Christian minister stands at the center of moral universe There Is an important field of work for the preacher among those who are not identified with any church. The function that treats of the relation of social classes Is perhaps one of the greatest demands. The rapid increase of wealth and sharp competitive system that has gone on for the past hun: drsd years has caused rapid classifying of classes. Whatever view we take of the social conditions, we know at least that the present ones are not permanent.
 The Christisn ministers are called upon to mediate between the classes and help solve the problems. For him wealth must have no glamour and poverty no terror. How high and great is the vocation of the min istry. Well may we question our sinners. But we must go on our way with courage, undaunted by diversity and keep our trust in God

THE ICR SUPPLY.

Tho Consumers' Association Stock All
 Subscribed Fer-Repors of she Build-
 ing Committee to be made To-Day.
 The board of directors of the New Haven Consumers Toe company will hold meeting at Turn hall this afternoon for the purpose of deciding on some place to land their ics and to select suitable site for building a storehouse. The company will probably be a permanent institution, and possibly will establish an ice manufacturing plant here SO that in the future they will neither be de- pendent for their supply of ice on cold win- ters here or on ice from Maine.
 prominent stockholder said last evening: All of the stock of the company has been
 taken. All would have been subscribed for at the last meeting but some was saved so others that wanted to come in could have @ show. The committee on location of buiid-
 ing will report at to days meeting. They
 have been offered three separate wharf sites
 on each of which they will have plenty
 lege of selling the building back to the wharf owner at it's face value. The com- pany are not frightened at all over the idea that there may be cold winter aext winter and plenty of ice hereabouts to cut, as they can get plenty of ice hereabouts. The com pany has already purchased the contents of two ice houses in Maine, one half the price of which will be paid for at once, the other half when 1t is wanted. One-half of 1t will be brought here, as soon as the building is erected, and when that is gone the other half will be sent for. So that will make it easy for the stockholders as to payments. We apprehend that we will be able to supply ice at two-thirds what it would | have cost us otherwise. We are sanguine | of complete success We do not expect any
 trouble either in getting the ice or in finding ! @ sale for 1t among ourselves. If we have any left or more than we need we will sell it l to the public at favorable prices. The ice we are to get is first-clsss ice in quality, the best there is, and . foot thick. We talk fsvorably of establishing an ice manufactur- ing plant, as we calculate we can make ice at much less cost than 1t can be cut. Over 800
 shares went off like hot cakes. We will not need half of our $20, 900 for working capital. We will not have to build dock as the New Haven company did, as three docks are of- fered us.
 The New Haven company is sanguine that no company can obtain or furnish ice any cheaper than they can, and that the Con- sumers' association will find it SO. They say they have been years in the business, know
 every phase of 1t, and that the Con-
 sumers' association has not fully counted the
 cost, and that the ice now offered in Maine
 is refuse ice of poor quality, that 1t cannot
 compare with theirs. Stockholders of the
 company say, however, that the company at
 present prices will furnish ice at loss this
 year and that, therefore, they are debarred
 from making any lower prices. They est
 mate the loss on ice in handling and by melt-
 ing to be fully 50 per cent, and that all ex.
 perfence substantiates this.

FAILURE ANALYxED
By Rev. pr. Chapman at First M. K.
 Church.

By Rev. pr. Chapman at First M. E.
 Church.
 Rev. Dr. M. B. Chapman of the First ME church preached another of his interesting and practical sermons apon the crisis of everyday life last evening. His remarks were upon "How to Fail, or the Art of Con- ing to Grief" He skilfully dissected and analysed failure in all of It's phases and drew many striking conclusions from his result.
 Spiritual death, said he, will give you @ calm indifference to spiritual things. It re-, suits in dis-relish, dislike and final aversion to the holy, the heavenly, in ourselves. The occasional becomes the habitual. Here and there we see c soul determined to succeed one who thinks itself better than failure. When you find out how to fail, which is very easy, don't do 1t. Do the opposite. Nourish that seed of nobility in your beings which will grow to a maturity that is proof against defeat, that exalts death into eternal vic- tory.
