LONGEVITY AND GENIUS.
The Solid Fame of Many Rests on
Their Work in Later Years.


Great as have been some men who
died young, who knows how much
greater they would have been had their
lives been prolonged. Might not Mar
lowe have rivaled Shakespeare? Yet
possibly Byron had already given us his
best, and Shelley and Keats might no
have surpassed their early efforts.
Had the author OF 'Festus" died at
twenty-three, there would have been
lamentation as over Keats, but Bailey
has lived half century longer without
producing second poem. Tasso, though
he lived twenty years after "Jerusalem
Delivered" never equaled that epic,
written at thirty-one.
Still, there are men whose longevity
has certainly stood for much, says the
Atlantic Monthly. Mich ael Angelo
showed astonishing precocity, but he

renown as painter, sculptor and SON.
neteer. Voltaire's fame, again, rests on
the entirety of his writings, not on any
single work, and on the literary dicta-
torship with which age invested him.
Cut off twenty years of his life, and his
fame would perceptibly shrink. Goethe,
Emerson, Carlyle, Longfellow. Tenny-
son, Hugo. Dumas, all had the advan-
tage of fullness of years, so as to be

The true comparison would obviously
be between works produced at the same
age, or between men dying at about the
same age; but it is much easier to test
achievement than capacity. Perhaps

is strong as that which built the skies:"
that when He says wait. pray, watch,
He means it; that we have not to steady
the ark of God by our foolish and dam
gerous defences of HIS truth, but to un-
derstand it as best we can. and, fearless
without apology, to 60 forth and preach
and state it. The results will take good
and due care of themselves. An un-
worldly church is sign of conquest.
To-day, the last time l stand in this
church for some time, want to sound
this slogan: That at Pentacost, the
universal brotherhood of man, the uni
versatility of salvation. full and free, are
the watchwords. This will at once and
promptly settle the many vexed ques-
tons which to-day yeX the heads and
weary the hearts of men. The holy
spirit of the living God, the
great leveller of class distinc-
tions, the deliverer from sin, the
exaltation Of all the meek is the one
need of all our churches; for this let the
priests seek and the people pray; then
shall we see revival, and the barren
land will become fruitful; the parched
land springs of water; the glory of the
Lord Will be revealed, all flesh will see

On Nicollet avenue, between Wash

a shingle that suggests many things

himself as we'll as his clients. When times
were dull in law business Judge Pond
would turn his hand to literary work.
but as soon as he became thoroughly
established his office became too small
for the volume of business he was doing.
Notwithstanding, he would not move to
more commodious quarters. He re-
manned, ran for Judge of the district
court, was defeated, but the shingIe.

where it was, and to-day it represents
what c. NJ. Pond used to be, prac-
ticing lawyer. He is now judge of the
district court, man in every sense of
the term-clean, upright, persevering
and impartial. There are few men in
the county to-day who stand better as a
citizen OF lawyer than Judge Pond does.
Talking about signs, there is one on
South Washington avenue that will
soon be called into the curio hall at the
library building if some one does not

the same before he gets around. 1t
represents, really, far more than any
other sign in Minneapolia to-day. This
sign reads thus: ''Dr. Fl. II. Kimball,
Physician and S urgeon." This sign
was put up some twenty-six years ago
by Thomas Lowry when he and DR..
Kimball first met and went into part

sign in place. 1t hung there many day
before it brought into the Office an
equivalent for the outlay it caused. But
as time wore on business became better.

REV. WILLIAM WILKINSON
Delivers an Eloquent Discourse
on PentecOst.

on PentecOSt.
Yesterday was the feast of PentecoSt.
and was in the Roman Catholic and
Episcopalian churches celebrated with
great gladness. as is usual on the ami
versary of the time when the gospel
dispensation was made complete. At
st. Andrews church the rector took
for his text Acts, H.. 4: 'They were
all filled with the Holy Ghost"
and began to speak with other tongues
as the"Spirit gave them utterance" He
said: If we would truly understand the
Christian religion we must go back to
its early scenes and find out its first
conditions. Then shall we see how
much it has done for the world. And
what is much more important, we must
find out what are the principles
upon which it depends for its
prsgress and conqneStS in the world.
there are many who would have the
church made a kind of luxurious club
which the rich will frequent, and per-
haps despise. and from which the poor
and the wretched turn with grim and
sad contempt. There is in this age no
need so great as the need of prophet
mighty trumpet blast, all the dread
earnestness of men whose souls are
afame for the good of men and the
glory of the living God call US
back to the simple rules for the spread
of the gospel of the grace of God.
We have left the early SIM
plicity, the early faith which saw
the Invisible, and to which the Eternal
was dread reality. sin cursed thing
and salvation a sounding joy.
The men who at Pentecost laid the
foundations of the church so wide and
deep were not so much fault-fnders as
for them less charm than it has for us.
Ease, pleasure. gain, reputation, the
opinion of the world had not power on
the one side to charm or on the other to
terrify, but in loving duty to conviction
they with fearless mien told men the
things they had seen, heard, felt, of the
power Of the gospel of the despised
Jesus to change the hearts of men.
Men heard the truth. 1t made them
feel. Now all this did not come out
of every man being law to him.
self, or of every man using his
own judgment in matters religious. 1t
! came OF glad and ecstatic obedience to
the law of virtue as laid down by the
founder and king of the church. The
early disciples had strict orders to tarry
at Jerusalem to wait, watch, and pray
in faith, and to look for the descent of
the Holy Ghost, which should come.
There are no new principles for us to
invent in the church. We have to pro-
claim the old, and here in this new-time
conflict old-time triumph will result. A
devout, united, consecrated church is
the sign of new victories of the cross.
We do not need more knowledge in the
pulpit, or propriety, or wealth, or large
numbers of people in our pews in order
to do the Masters work. What we do
want, as Christian people, is more
conservation in the heart, a
more abiding faith that our Mas

The speaker said that it had been his
earnest purpose, during his ministry in
Minneapolis, to preach the gospel of
Jesus Christ, and once more he desired
% set forth the good tidings of everlast-
ng life.
First-lt is an old gospel. 1t was
doubtless told by Eve to her children,
The first of nursery tales, the hope of
coming One who was to set His foot
upon the serpent's head. Yet old as 1t
is, the gospel is good news.
'Where'er we go we always say:
What's the neWsy What's the news?
Pray, what's the order of the day?
Oh, have got good news TO tell;
My Savior hath done all things well,
Hath TansOmed me from death and hell;
That's the news! That's the newsl
Second-It is true gospel. 1t is at
tested to by a thus saith The Lord
1t is coIrobOrated by the testimony of
an innumerable company of witnesses
Oh earth and in heaven. We may safely
put our trust in it,
Tnird-It is a precious gospel. To
those who have accepted it, all the
treasure in the bottom of the everlast-
ing hills would not be an equivalent.
Fourth-It is a simple gospel. Verify,
verify, | say unto you. except ye be-
come as little children ye shall in no
wise see the kingdom of God" Men
who deem themselves wise are likely to
pass by it; but simple-hearted lovers Of
truth are charmed and saved by it.
Fifth-It is a gospel of free grace.
''Ho, every one that thirSteth, come ye
to the waters; and he that hath no
money, come We, buy and eat-yea, buy
wine and milk without money and WITH
out price"
Sixth-It is a gospel for all. Christ
tasted death for every man; and the
benefit of His vicarious sufferings is of
fered to all on the sole condition of ac-
cepting it.
Seventh-Itls is gospel for you. The
speaker closed with an earnest appeal
to all his hearers TO close in with the
Overtures OF divine mercy, and put their
trust for salvation in Jesus Christ.

A Good Plan.

Building Inspector Hazen has pro-
posed novel idea for keeping the
streets clean. 1t is as follows: Let
every owner of each twenty-five-foot
front pay 10 cents day, or 60 cents
week, to be expended in hiring about
two men to each block, whose business
it shall be to sweep the streets of all
litter that may be dropped there. The
regular street sweepers should be used
at night, as at present, but the hand
sweeping should be done all day long.
This would insure clean streets.
