"What shall | do," said young
minister. "to shake Off the incubus OF
doubt"
"Try to reform some sinner, to lead
some inquirer to Christ"
"But l am not fit for it."
MAKE the effort and you will he
driven to the throne Of grace"
The advice was taken, the effort to
save one soul was blessed beyond the
highest thought of the young minis
ter; revival in which many were
born into the kingdom of Christ arose,
but the greatest revival was in his own
heart. For more than fifteen years he
has been 80 busy crying to all whom
he may meet, in season and out OF
season, "Behold the Lamb of God,
that taketh away the sin of the world"
and gently leading and feeding the
lambs of the flock, that there has not
been room for a single doubt, and he
has put no conscious yoke on his well
trained and thoroughly furnished
mind either.

What Others Say.
Ney York Christian .ddrocnte.

A new national party has been form
ed at Cincinnati. In the last forty years
this country has seen between seven
teen and twenty full-fledged parties,
all intending to revolutionize one or
more things in all Incredibly short
period of time. Of these the Know
Nothing Party had the most rapid and
lofty flight. A new party has to demon
onstrate whether it has staying quail
ties. The fact that the others have
failed raises no presumption that this
will fail. But to succeed against the
two great parties requires more than
a good cause-wise management. 1t
seems thus far to have ignored the
liquor question. AS this is the burn
ing question with thousand of persons,
not to refer to it is tractical mistake.
The old parties, of course, are critics.

A Fort Worth [TeXas] minister ha
drawn the ridiCule of the papers of
that city by refusing the $500 contri-
button of a saloon-keeper toward the
payment of his church debt. He de-
clared that his "church should never
be free from debt if its obligations had
to be paid with the money of saloon
keeper" His action is characterized
as "bigctry," "superciliousness," etc.
The Christian Courier, however, re-
plies :"If the saloon-keepers and the
papers that bask in their favor think
such preachers scarce, they may as well
undeceive themselves. There are
hundreds of them to whom $500 would
seem great sum who would not re-
cognize the saloon business nor place
themselves under obligation to it for
its ill-gotten possessions.

The CondescenSiOn of the Ministry

Christianity never sands upon its
dignity. One Of its first principles is
to take men as it finds them. 1t dcs-
cends wherever man descends. TO
save. it finds. TO find, it seeks. TO
seek, it goes where men are. 1T does
not wait to be sought and found. A
Christian pulpit, therefore, must not
wait for men to rise to its own level

SAMoA.-Since the report given in
the November Herald of the return OF
King N1alietoa, the foreign govern
ments have decided that he should be
fully re-instated as king, instead OF
placing Mataafa OH the throne. Ihe
Samoan Times reports that at a festl-
val held by the native churches on
August 18th people gathered in large
number, and that one hundred students
from the missionary institution at
Malua were present. After addresses
by the missionaries and native pastors,
Malietoa spoke at length, recognizing
the good hand of God in his care over
Samoa during the troublous times, and
charging the people not only to read
the Bible, but to be diligent in prayer,
which was better than all the weapons
of war. Such an address from the
King betokens a government which
will be actively in favor of evangelical
truth and the wide dissemination of
the gospel throughout all the Samoan
group.-Miss. Herald.

AN ILLINOIS MEMORIAL.

CHICAGO, June 17.-At tO-day's meeting
of the local Worlds Fair Directory Execu-

recommendation of the appointment of Com
missioner Forsyth as chief of the Depart
ment of Horticulture was read. The matter
of salary was referred to the Finance COM
mittee and the personnel to the Committee
on Agriculture, with instructions 10 report
at the next meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors on Friday.
A memorial was presented this
evening, signed by j. G. Vaughan,
Chairman, representing that at meet
ing Of EOrticultursts held to-day, at
which the Illinois State Board of Agricult-
ure and several different horticultural So
cietles of the State were represented, reso-
lutl0nS were adopted protesting against the
confirmation OF F0rsythe as chief of the
Horticultural Bureau, saying that lie in no
sense represents American horticulture;
also protesting against the present claSsi-
tieati0n which has been indOrSed by the Ma
tlonal Commission, ana saying: This
classification, giving eight separate classes
for wines and brandias alone, with
but four to horticulture proper,
is unfair and unsatisfactory 10 the
horticulturists Of the country. 1t was,
therefore, resolved that III the event of the
confirmation OF ForSythe or any other nom
representative man, and especially one
pledged to this unjust classification, we are
without hope of making in the main build
ing n representative exhibit of American
horticulture; and We will use our influence
in every possible manner to confine these
exhibits 20 our State buildings and will in
Vite our sister States to do likewise, as we
cannot and will not destroy the prospects
for an enthusiastic exhibition by indorsing
a man and classification which connects
horticulture with and makes it subordinate
to displays of wines and brandies. We are
pledged to no candidate, and ask simply
questioned"

Epecial to THE MORNING CALL.

New YORK, June 1.-THE Atlas line
passenger steamer Alyo, which arrived
from Haytian ports this morning, brought
the news Of continued outbreaks and the
wholesale slaughter of political prisoners
in all parts of the island. The Alvo also
brought news of the rumOred shooting of
President Hipp olyte. This IumOr was be-
ing freely circulated in Jacmel and the out
lying towns near Port au Prince, when the
Alvo left the former port on June 9th. The
rumor could not be confirmed by the people
on the Alvo before she left Jacmel, but it
was discTedited
The pOpulace of Jaemel was In fever of
excitement over what they termed an out
rageous murder, which had occurred the day
before When the news Of the slaughter at
Port au Pri nee reached Jacmel, many citi-
zens violently denounced Hippolyte'S deed
Six IF them were arrested and word was
sent to Hippolyte. A squad Of soldiers came
back the next morning, took out Tho six
unforiunateS and shot them TO death IN the
public square in the presence OF their friends
and relatives.
After leaving Jacmel the Alvo touched at
Nayassa Island and there again heard the
rumor of Hppolyte's assassintto on. The
United States steamer kedrSarge was also
met there, her commander having heard the
news and being on his way TO Port au
Prince.
In New York this evening Haytian Min
lister Price and the officials of the steamship
company denied that there was any uuth in
the rumor.
Mate Bishop of the steamship AlvO. which
arrived from Hayti to-day, states that on

GROSYENOR'S POSITION.
Ills Denial Of an Interview Caused Him
Trouble

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Representatiye
GrosvenOr'S resignation as one of the three
immigration Commissioners to Europe was
triumph for one of the Evening Stars re-
porters, who, some time ago. interviewed
General GrOsvenoT, and quoted him as ex-
pressing opinions that reflected somewhat
upon the foreign element in this country.
This raised such row among the German
citizens that Grosvenor repudiated the inter-
view and accused the reporter of misrepre-
SentatiOn. But, unfortunately for Mr..
GroSvenOr, soon after the publication of the
Stars interview, he showed it with some
pride to others in Washington, and declared:
Those are my sentiments"
The Star says editOrialiy tonight: The
condition of General GrOSven0r is peculiar.
Appointed TO an office, he expressed certain
opinions, brilliant In Spread-eagle patriot
ism, but lnjudci0us In party view to be
uttered by an Immigration Commissioner.
Being called TO account, he denied the opin-
ions, stultfied himself, and tried tO shoulder
the responsibility upon a newspaper re-
porter. 10 set himself right with his party
leaders he antagOnZed the newspapers,
who showed cOnclusively that he had not
been miSquOted. He then resigned his posi-
ton and is now given an equally good posi-
ton, viz: Worlds Fair Commissioner to
Europe. 1t would have been far better for
General GroSVenor TO have stood SQuarely
by his original utterdnces.

or fences, not only TO separate one villa
from another but to protect all from public
intrusion 1t is rare that there is any
division between private property and the
road along which tram-car passes. This
is enough TO account for the fact that gar
dens, except on large properties are rarely
seen. The English cottage, with its strip
OF ground, fun of color, its palipg and
wicketgate, is unknown in the Eastern
States.
