Jefferson Street Baptist Church.

The pastor, the Rev. Il. c. McKeever,
preached at the morning service at the
Jefferson street Baptist Church, from the
text "Why seek ye the living among the
dead ?" Luke xiv 5, the subject being
lis death the end" There are three
kinds of death mentioned in the Bible,
namely, the separation OF soul and body
or the natural death, the spiritual death
or the separation of the soul from God and
lastly the second death which is everlast-
ing punishment. 1t was the first of these
that was TO be considered in the discourse.
After death, what Is IL possible that
the soul and body are the same and when
the body Is consigned again to dust the
spirit goes with It and not TO the God who
gave IL There is abundant evidence that
there is a life beyond this and that there
we receive the rewards or punishments
according as our life shas been good
or bad. The pagan, the savage, nearly
every tribe on the face of the earth has
some idea of n future state after idea.
If death ends all, how are the wicked
punished after deathp Some say that this
world is all the he'll there is anywhere,
but can we say that murderers and all
criminals of the worst kind receive due
punishment in the care taken of them by
the prisonsg How many of them are
more comfortably housed and kept than
they ever were when they had TO provide
for themselves. The poet has said, ITO
be alone with conscience is punishment
enough" If there be no hereafter, how
shall we be alone with conscienceY
A human being can be 80 near TO God as
TO be able many times to comprehend the
character of God and even 20 almost grasp
the soul of God and how is il possible TO
do this unless our own souls are immortal
The Bible is full OF testimonies as TO the
future life, notable among them being
those OF David, job, Cyrus, Paul and
Christ himself who often refers TO the life
after death. Everything goes to prove
that the future state is a positive fact, our
own intuition, promises in the Bible and
the thoughts of great men gone before !;
how then can we doubt iti

The Working Girls CIub Again.

The regular monthly meeting of the Y
W. &. Il. u. was held in the lower hall of
the Young Mems Christian Association
building last Saturday afternoon at 4
o'clock. The president, Miss Nellie Pierce,
presided.
Working Girls Clubs" was the subject
Of discussion, and Miss Sprague, who was
one of the founders of the Mt Pleasant
Working Girls Association, was the
speaker.
Miss Sprague opened by telling of work
ing girls clubs in general. She said that
the first club was started in New York
nine years ago, and now they were TO be
found all over the country, from Maine TO
California. The purpose OF these clubs is
TO make nobler women of the girls, and to
make il possible for them Go help them
selves in every way. IL is not a religious
body, but religion enters into the work.
The Mount Pleasant club was organized
four years ago with thirteen members.
The first meetings were held in a small
room on Academy avenue, and as the
numbers increased they were held in a
large room on Pomona avenue. The
members became 50 much interested that
they wished to form n class for gymnas-
tics, and as there was not sufficient room
the club built house on Arlington
avenue and as their members kept in
creasing, an addition has been made to
the house. There are now $50 members.

vice in war. But when opposed TO armored
ships these vessels can not be counted as
AN element Of force.
lone first-class ship would cost GER
tainly one-fifth less than two Of the
smaller type. and yet have a comparative
ment it would destroy them both witnout
receiving material injury. IL Is probable
also that the costs of the larger ships will
be reduced by the increased facilities
which experience has given to our Ameri-
can shipbuilders and by simplihed meth
ods in the manufacture OF armor, and the
Department therefore recommends that
authority be given at the coming session
TO build two new vessels OF the Indiana
class.
1.-The department also recommends the
early construction of large armored
cruiser, similar In design TO the New
York. This magnificent vessel. whose
functions cover a far wider range than
those of an ordinary cruiser, presents an
extraordinary combination OF great coal
endurance, high speed and efficient armor
protection When TO this combination is
added main battery of six S-inch rifles
and twelve heavy rapid fire guns, she be
in our own or any other navy and one
that can be brought into use for any kind
of service. With the exception of the three
ships of the Indiana class, she o. the most
important element OF defensive strength
which this country now possesses.
The secretary also recommends the
construction of one or more torpedo
cruisers of about 800 or 1000 tons aud four
small vessels of special design for river
and coastwise service in the East or South
America.
Much of the report is devoted to the
secretary's ideas now being put in force
OF operating the navy yard from poll tics,
and he is we'll satisfied with the results
thus far obtained He considers as well
the personnel of the navy and the treat
ment of enlisted men, all passing, that his
administration will have excellent re-
suits in placing the United States first
among naval powers in the near future.

In Olneyville Churches.

At the Broadway Baptist Church yes
terday the usual services were held.
Three new members were received in the
morning. The Sunday school attendance
numbered GAL. In the evening the pastor,
the Rev. j. V. Osterhout, preached on
THE Battle in the Wilderness, in which
he described the temptations which the
Saviour underwent during the term he
spent in fasting and prayer in the desert.
The ceremonies of the day were concluded
with "A prayer social, presided over by the
rector.
UCommunion was held in the morning at
the Harris Avenue NJ. Il. church yester-
day. Seven new members received the
hand of fellowship, baptism being ad-
ministered To two Others. The number
attending the Sunday school was 204. In
the evening, the Rev Mr.. Rood, pastor,
delivered an address on the formation of
the earth, as recorded in Genesis, illustra-
ing the principal features with stereopticon
views. c. s. Goodell also lectured on
"Hits." Both proved very interesting to
the large number of rs~ple who listened
to them.
At the Messiah Church, including mis-
sions at Manton and Thornton, the regular
ceremonies were held, the Rev. Il. Cocroft
officiating. Active preparations are being
made by the teachers OF the Sunday
School for the Christmas season. Every
Thursday morning during the time OF
Advent service will be held at the same
church at $3.50 A. NJ.
Two eloquent sermons were delivered
by the Rev. X. Wilson, of Lonsdale, at the
Bethesda Primitive Methodist Church,
yesterday, the usual large number attend
ing. During the jealous ministry of the
rector, the Rev. w. B. Blandy, assisted
by his wife, both tireless and devoted
workers in the Lords vineyard, the mis-
sion, which at first consisted of but few
souls, has grown with large and flourish
ing body.

The Political Pot Still Threatens to
Boil Over.
SOME ONE MAY Be BURNED.
A Review of the Battlefield Of Saturday
Was or Was Not the Election Legal
A Lively Runaway.

A lively runaway occurred on Broad
street last evening, when Mrs. Chambers
was thrown out at the corner OF Barton
street and received dislocated shoulder.
The horse took fright at the depot. The
runaway was stopped near the Broad
street school house.
There promises TO be a lively and pecu-
liar case in the District Court at an early
date before Patrick Farrell recovers his
lost hog.
To review the election Of last Saturday
is like looking over battle field, after
the fight. The streets were unusually
lively Saturday evening, and excitement
was at high fever. Carroll polled a
very strong vote, while the Sherman men
were not so prominent as was anticipated,
and part of the White vote went over TO
Carroll, which helped to give him ma
iority, and left his principal opponent so
far behind. The votes were soon counted
after the polls closed, and then the streets
were filled with noise.
The Times Office was besieged by a large
crowd, who were determined TO take Jo-
seph Osfield, Jr., Esq, an opponent of Car
rolls, and had they succeeded in finding
him he might possibly have been roughly
handled. The crowd paradsd the streets
with a drum corps and kept up the de
monstration until Sunday morning, then
continued it until last evening. The sup
porters are strong in their belief that the
Supreme Court will grant an injunction
against Mr.. Carroll's being inaugurated,
as they have already secured the decision
of several prominent lawyers, who be
lieve the election 10 have been illegal. 1t
is feared that more trouble is TO come.
The Carroll party claim the election
to be legal and declare that he will take
the chair with the sweeping one thousand
majority. The political pot which has
been steaming hard for the past three
weeks has now boiled over and the proba-
bilities are that some one may be serious
lv burned

morrison the foreign missionary field were
read together with an address by the Rev.
A. A. Bunker, ID. d., until recently an
active worker in Burmah, but who was
Obliged TO return TO America on account
of i'll health. The first letter was from
DIR. and Mrs. Finch of this city who left
for China in September. IL was the first
word received from them since their de-
parture and was of much interest TO their
many friends and acquaintances in the
Cranston Street Baptist Church. The
other letter was from Mrs. Jennie Bixby
daughter of the pastor DIR. Bixby.
The address of the evening was by DIR.
Bunker for % years in charge OF the work
in Burmah. The letter from Mrs. John
son was on the work among the Brecs,
sometimes known as the wild karens, "A
barbarous tribe in central Burmah, and
DR. Bunker's address was in the line of n
supplement TO this letter. He told from
personal experience of the history OF the
work among these wild tribes which was
begun fifteen years ago. Then there was
not Christian worker among them and
now the watershed mountains where they
live are dotted with little chapels and
school houses.
They are wild, barbarous, almost beast
like people who was at first IL thought,
were not worth saving, but the Lord had
n different idea ana the result OF the work
among them has been marvellous. AT
first the teachers were afraid to go among
them. They were continually at war with
neighboring tribes and there was nothing
10 eat but a little corn, roots of herbs and
bamboo sprous They lived on this kind
of food together with what they could
steal from neighboring villages. But the
teachers went TO work and the result has
been wonderful. He told of the hardships
which he himself with other workers had
endured in travelling through the jungle
and of the reward for their labors.
Now there were plenty of teachers to ex-
tend the work further, but the money was
scarce There was need of putting twenty
more workers among the Brecs, which
would cost about $40 n man year. III
these twenty men conld be put to work
the field would be well covered.
At the close of DIR. Bunker's address
sixteen OF the congregation pledgeu %
each toward putting more teachers TO
work there, which means two men for one
year, and the evenings collection was also
devoted tothis cause.

Mr.. Wesley ON "FaIse Lights"

Mr.. Wesley on "FaIse Lights"
False Lights" was the subject OF the
Rev Ernest Wesley's discourse at the
Park Street Baptist church last evening,
the text being taken from 81. Matthew
xiv: IL; "And many false prophets shall
rise and shall deceive many. Nothing
in this world" said the speaker, promises
more than deception, and nothing brings
more irretrieyable ruin in its results. Sln
never comes TO anyone without the
promise of doing great things, but these
promises are as wild and vaporous as the
minds. The old story of Jesus and the
temptation on the mount Is enacted IN
the lives of everyone Of us We have all
been approached at some time by the
tempter, who, in the most insinuating
manner suggests that from which we
would recoil in honor when in our right
minds, but clothed as il is in the per-
suasive language of the devil we really
consider the consequences attendant and
fall in with his plans with an alacrity that
is borrifying 10 consider.
IF il were possible for us TO see the
magnificent splendor of Christs beauty
as il really is, and then on the other hand
see the debasing and horrible aspect of
Satan, there would be no choice In our
minds as TO the better, and there is no one
but who would turn shuddering from the
horrible specter and embrace the religion
that promises the long eternity OF safety
and happiness.
The false lights along the shore of life,
like the false beacOns on the Cornwall
reefs, beguile and attract many passing
craft or young soul TO destruction. And
what are these false lightsy
"There comes "A young man or woman
on the voyage of life, and afar off stands
cleaning light. Sweet odors come
across the waters and sweet music is
waited TO the ears of the doubling one.
Without a thought of the future and the
consequences the youthful mariner steers
directly for the light and eventually
crashes on the deadly and Jagged reefs of
destruction. Sabbath breaking, disobedi-
ence, skepticism and lust are the forms of
false lights, but beware of them lest YOU
fall on the deadly rocks from which so few
are saved"

Forked Lightning.

As to the term "forked lightning" thu
representations Of it given by artists, which
resemble the so-called thunderbolts placed
in the hand Of Jupiter, are quite absurd.
Popular Science News tells that the flash
when photographed exhibits itself as lime
which is continually changing its course
and Is described as intensely crooked" boy
a very careful observer. 1t never proceed,
for time in straight line, and then,
turning at a sharp angle, going on farther
in an equally straight line, as is represented
In pictures. The forking of it is very
marked, and this occurs by side hashe:
passing off from the main track, and event
ually losing themselves like the ramifica
tions Of tree roots. Occasionally the light
ming appears to start from point iron
which several flashes diyerge in differen
directions
