is still engaged in this christian work and
many assist him in his labors. Last Sab
bath morning, facing the prisoners while
they gaZed at us through the iron barred
doors Of their cells, clergyman paced to
and fro in the corridor, talking the while
to the incarcerated sinners. In the open
ing hymn were the words:
'Can we fiHd friend so faithful
Who viii all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
This was the way that good old gentle
man talked: Repent ye and be converted.
AS sinner man is not fit to enter Heav-
en-. so he is called upon to turn away from
his iniquity. Salvation is free. Men have
passed away. Worlds have been wrapped
in flames of fire. Time will be no more.
Eternity will begin and roll on and on,
never to end. We are all Interested this
morning for yonr salvation. God will
blot out all your sins. Conversion brings
man into state of peace beyond your
comprehension. What life men are livingl
Pick up the papers and see the amount of
crime there is III this world Some say
the Bible, the church and the ministers are
OF no use. What would the world become
if the Bibles were burned, the churches
closed, the ministers quit preaching, and
men stop trying to live religious life?
Forty-nine years of my life has been spent
in the service Of the Master and | don't
regret that ever gave my
heart to God. You may read and
think and talk and pray, but God
must do the work. Come, 60 with us.
God has spoken to you. Repent where
you are and be converted. In that little
narrow cell God will convert you. Yes,
he will. Come now, let us reason together.
Let as talk about this thing Though
your sins be as scarlet they shall be made
white as snow.
Three of the prisoners thrust their hands
through the bars of their cell asking to be
prayed for, but upon the minds of most of
the criminals the minister's pleadings, the
prayers and hymns made no visible i'm
preston. Leaving the gloomy prison we
thought how extremely wretched must be
the existence of those whose crimes have
cast them behind the bars.

The Navy Department to be Sued-A
Sailors Strange Story.
NEW YORK, July 81. The navy de-
partment will shortly have lawsuit on
its hands. William McNair, of Boston,
a seaman, through his counsel, General
B. F. Butler, will sue the department
for $25, 900 for false imprisonment. Nc
Nair's story. if true, shows a fragrant
abuse of authority on the part of the
officers of the White squadron, of which
Admiral Walker is chief in command.
1t seems that during the recent visit of
the squadron to Boston numerous de-
sertions occurred and strenuous efforts
We're made by the officers of the feet to
capture the offenders. McNair, who
was a seaman on board Mr. Charles
Paine's yacht Volunteer, was enjoying
himself on shore on July 49,
He wore the uniform in which the
sailors Of the Volunteer were clothed,
which happen to be similar many re-
spects to that worn in the United
States. He was arrested no less than
five times on charges of desertion. He
was convicted, but before his departure
he told the officers who he was and
where he was employed, and that per-
sons should be sent to enquire about
him. The officers, however, would not
listen, and brought him to New York
against his vigorous protest and would
not give him any chance to prove his
identity. He was taken from one snip
to another, but no one could identify
him as having belonged to any ship of
the squadran. and he was released. He
has left for home and will put his case
in the hands of General Butler.
