WISE MEN PLAY THE FOOL.
A Sermon Preached Last EvenfT
by Rev. w. C. Blakeman.

A Sermon Preached Last Evening
by Rev. w. C. Brakeman.
. At the st. John street NJ. E. church
last evening, Rev. Mr.. w. c. Brakeman
preached q sermon of much power. De-
spite the ice and walking, fair-sized con-
gregation was present. He took his text
from I Samuel, 21,13. His sermon in
brief is as follows: We do not like to
dwell upon the failings of great and good
men, consequently this passage in the BIZ
BILE relating to David's life has been greatly
overlooked. By his assumed insanity he
escaped with his life, but what spectacle
he has made of himself down through the
ages There are some forms of madness
which are dignifed, which affect the spec
tator with feeling of awe and pity.
There is nothing grand, majestic, inspir-
ing or pathetic about the madness of King
David as told in the text. How many
wise and noble men in the crises of their
lives like David play the fool. The wise
man always plays the fool when he takes
his case from the hands of God. Men
take their case from the hands of God
when disregarding the tribunal of God,
brother contends with brother-in-law be-
fore bribe-taking judges and prejudiced
Judges. Chasing about to put down a
Islander is an exhibition of foolishnesss. A
sad sight it is to see a good man going
about inquiring who has said evil of him.
A man takes his case out from the
hands of God when he seeks private re-
venge.
Wise men also oftentimes play the foo
when they choose what is expedient in
place of what is right. Deception, il
order that good may come is never right
| Two ways are open for all men, the one
narrow and difficult, the other broad and
| pleasant in expediencies which inevitably
| ends in destruction. Wise men play thu
fool when they pay out eternity for {,
little time at the present. This work.
upon which we live is but a station,
wayside inn, where we stop as it were TO
the night. He who makes no preparation
for that life beyond the grave is he no
guilty of the most awful fo11yl There ar
men who say, give me the world applause
| its honors and pleasures and do not car
for the future.
There are those who: are making tina
choice every moment. Is there any foil.
in all history so great as thata There ar
some who have made different choice
Savanorla refused the cardinals red ha
for the sake of truth. -.
If we have played the mailman with re
gard to these eternal pleasures we shall
like the dying skeptic who said, 81 feel lik
one standing on the edge of an awful gulf
and with the despairing cry of one WIN
has fallen over the edge of an awful abys
he died
/ We must repent and believe and tax
4 Christ as our savior.

GOUNOD SOCIETY.

Brilliant Array of Sole Talent For
, the oratorio of the "Redemp-
tion.',
Perhaps the finest array of solo talent
ever gathered together on one occasion in
New Haven will bet that comprising the
artists who will sing at the forthcoming
production of Gounod's Redemption next
month. Those definitely engaged are
Mrs Jennie Patrick Walker, soprano;
Miss Emily Winant, contralto; Mr.. Myron
W. Whitney, basso; Mr.. Charles Herbert
Clark, tenor; and Mr.. Gardner S. Lamson,
baritone
Mr.. Walter Damrosch, the conductor of
the Oratorio society in New York, says of
Mrs. Walkers performance in the ''Mes-
siah," given recently in the Metropolitan
Opera house: "Mrs. Walker is a great
artist and created sensation" This
opinion is confirmed by all of the New
York newspaper critics. Mrs. Walker is
now the leading oratorio soprano in the
country.
Miss Winant and Mr. Whitney have
hosts of friends in New Haven and as
sterling artists need no introduction.

New York He has intelligence, a broad
dramatic style, united to voice of rare
sweetness. In Mr.. Lamson of Boston our
musical public has a treat in store. He is
one of the younger singers but full of
promise. His solo work with the Handel
and Haydn society in Boston has gained
for him very high rank already. He
has voice of great power, sympathy
and purity and is always the refined
artist Mr.. Lawson is a graduate of
Harvard college and very popular in Bos-

With these artists, the full Germania
| orchestra of Boston, and our own chorus
of $50 carefully selected singers, the
occasion will undoubtedly be one Of the
great musical events of the winter.
Already applications for seats are com,
ing in from New London, Bridgeport

plications will not be considered until the

THE GREAT ICE STORM.

Effect In Prov1dence-Damas to the
Overhead Wire System-M any Trees
Beren efLimbs-Snow Storm In the
Mohawk Valley-MajOr Kinney's
Marrow Escape at Hartford.
PROVIDENCE, R. I. Jan. 18.-Last nights
sleet storm was particularly severe upon
the overhead wire service of every kind in
this city. Telegraph, fre-alarm and tele-
phone wires were constantly crossing the
electric lighting wires and the heavy cur
rent was carried into the buildings, burn
ing out telephones and in some instances
setting fires. In the Western Union Office
the lighting current on enc of the messen-
ger circuits started fire which re-
quired the services of a hose company.
One half the telephones in the city were
imperative and none of the telephones in
the police station circuit would work. By
midnightit would have been impossible to
turn in fire alarm from any box in the
city as every circuit was down. The cost
ly repeater apparatus in city hall dome was
saved from harm by constant watching.
The police signal box wires were about the
only ones left in working order. At three
o'clock this morning the electric lighting
station was shut down by order of the fire
department to prevent further damage.
Limbs are reported broken from trees all
over the city. Boston and Worcester
trains were delayed about three hours this
morning by washout near Pawtuc ket,
caused by bursted water main.
FONDA, N. Y, Jan. 1S.-A heavy snow
storm has prevailed in the Mohawk valley
since yesterday morning, and tonight it is
still showing hard. More than twelve
inches has already fallen Traffic is i'm
peded on both sides of the river. A num-
Der of freight trains were started this
morning on the Mohawk division of the
Central railroad. Snow plows arc kept
running on both railroads.
and damaging ice storm for many years
began yesterday and continued through
most of to-day. Hundreds of telephone
and other wires came down, making in
Vulnerable crosses 80 that the electric
lights had to be shut off and the city is in
darkness tonight. Before the current was
shut off some damage was done by burning
out telephones, and Major John G. Kinney
had very narrow escape. As he ap-
preached his telephone to use it a blaze a
foot long shot out of the instrument which
was entirely burned. He was unhurt ex-
cept for slight burn, but had he gone to
the telephone minute sooner he could not
have escape serious harm. Great numbers
of trees were broken down by the load of
| ice which formed to thickness of about
three-quarters of an inch. This evening
| one wire for the use of tho Associated
press is the only telegraph line working
| out of the city and news from New York
comes over that by way of Albany and
Springfield. No telephone line out of the
city is working.

Rev. j. G. Kimball of Hartford preach
cd an able discourse yesterday morning in
the Church of the Messiah, taking for his
theme Looking Upward" In the even
ing Rev. L. n. Squires occupied the pull
pit and preached an admirable OBSCURE on
''The Art of Being Happy" The text was
taken from First Peter, fourth chapter and
nineteenth verse: wherefore let them
that suffer according to the will of God
commit the keeping of their souls to him
in well doing, as unto a faithful creator"
Happiness" said the speaker, sis some
thing that can be developed by cultivation.
While many things connected with our
lives are beyond our power to control, yet
there are many other things which we can
make use of to better our condition and
confer happiness upon US. Living in con-
formity to physiological laws will keep
our bodies in health and good health is a
minds by study and reflection, cult
waiting our hearts by right living,
laboring for others whom we can
benefit by our kindly acts, sympathizing
with those who are in affection, these
things make us better and add to our real
enjoyment. The consciousness that we
are living for a noble purpose is a source
of satisfaction and pleasure; that as the
days come and go we are steadily march
ing to a glorious destiny; that as time goes
on and we grow old and feeble We can
grow more beautiful by cultivating all
within US that is grand and noble and eter-
nal, and our lives will be fragrant with
deeds well done" and our 'peace like a
river" In conclusion, the speaker recon-
mended all who were gloomy and depressed
to engage in active work. Instead of
moping over real or imaginary ills they
should have an aim and purpose in life,
and the higher the purpose the more graft
flying would be the results.
Next Sunday Rev. Mr.. Squires will
preach in Brooklyn, NY, by invitation of
a number of the members of the Univer-
salist church in that city, whose pastor
was the well known and eminent divine,
Rev. DR.. Garfield, now of Chicago.
