The GLORY OF CHRIST.

lights a Large Audience

Life and Lessons Taught
By Jesus.

ing Be Formally Charged
With Murder.

A large congregation greeted Rev.
DR.. Sample, Of the Westminster Presby-
1erian church. of New York, at the Cen
tral Presbyterian church last evening.
DR.. Sample was formerly pastor OF
Westminster church, Minneapolis, and
has a large circle of admiring friends IN
both cities. His great success in the
ministry is undoubtedly due to
his earnesness. coupled with a slngu-
larly clear and classic style OF delivery.
Notwithstanding the intOlerable heat
which thinned the congregations OF all
the churches, the large audience listened
with marked attention to the address,
which eXemplified the glory OF Christ the
text being chosen from Colossians, l., Is:
That in all things He might have
the pre-eminence."
The line of thought illustrated sue
cessively the glory OF Christ. the perfec-
ton of His character. the fuiluess of His
offices and the completeness OF his
work. Branching out in his discourse,
the speaker gave clear delneatlon OF
the Christ proper, the personal God
head, his Intermediary position filling
uD the space which lies between man
and his God Christ illustrated the
divine will in His own life. making re-
dempti0n for us, and offering it to all.
The gospel of Christ, as given to
the nations, has secured the high
est style of liberty: has slim
ulated sympathy with suffering and eff
forts for Its relief. The principles of
the gospel will solve all the problems
that are crowding into the closing years
Of the nineteenth century.
At the conclusion of the address, DR..
Sample was warmly welcomed by
large number of old friends.
He will remain yet one week, land may
possibly be heard at the House of Hope
church next Sunday. an invitation hav-
ing been extended to HIM to preach on

was, perhaps, the most regular betting

true that there was considerable luck in
his winnings. his main power was his
scientific study of betting. Any chump
may strike streak of luck and win big
money for awhile, but it is the science
of gambling to win as Lion did.

he lost in bets between $40, COO and $780,

but it is thought by those who were
financially associated with him that
$25, 900 is fair estimate.

In the burial of Arthur Lion, the

earth closed over the remains of one of
the weirdeSt characters that ever
adorned the pages of American turf

throughout the land, entered Into the
bOokmaking business in st. Louis twelve
years ago. For several years he and
Dick Roche were the only boOkieS in
the city, and, the latter moving to New
York a couple of years ago made Lion,
at the time of his death. the pioneer in
the bookmaking business here.
Like many in mis- vocation of life. Lion
was prone to speculate on the horses on
the outside, and during the last few
wears his pIunges reached into the tens
of thousands. At one time during the
last twelve months he accumulated
something like S300,000in picking win

him, and his losses would foot up be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 i'll single

For long time previous to his death
Arthur was laid up with rheumatic
govt. so painful that even the pressure
of bed sheet on his loot gave him pain
and he was compelled to lay abed in his
room on Eighth street, where he did all
his betting by proxy. His runners
went to his room after every race, and
there they found him propped up on
pillows, with the bed Uttered with tele-
grams from different race tracks, giving
him information about every coDceiv-
able point of interest TO a player-the
state of the weather, the condition OF
the horses, the conditions of the tracks,
the yOssipOf the stable boys and of the
betting stand. There are daily news
papers that do not receive as much
mail as did Arthur Lion.
He told his runners just what to do in
every race. at what state of the odds to
begin, and when to leave off. He in

he stated the object of the meet

the Sunday saloons. gambling. Sunday
theaters and other places OF bad repu-
tatiOn. He urged his hearers not to
take so much into consideration a mans
political views as mans moral worth,
loyalty, honesty and qualifications.
The present administrations. the
speaker thought, were not worthy the
vote of a decent people.
Prof. Wilhelm Peterson, of Minneap-
oils, was next introduced. He dWelt at
length upon the development of our
present moral questions, and especially
the liquor traffic.
ID. W. Doty was the last speaker. He
