PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
MILLIsroN CHURCH.


After delightful service Of song by the
choir at Williston church last evening Rev.
Dwight M. Pratt spoke of the impressions
made upon him by the recent Christian En-
deavor convention. He saw in the move
ment evidence of Gods presence and leader
ship. The focusing tendency of Christian
work In this age, the concentration of church
work in an aggressive way, was one of the
thoughts which impressed him as he attend
ed the meetings. 1t was evident that the
highest embodiment of the most intelligent
Christian effort was linked heart and soul
with the organization. One of the most
marked and pleasing facts is the enlarge
ment of sympathy and intelligence that is
being engendered in the hearts of Gods peo-
pie. Endeavors are bound together by
common cause for the accomplishment of a
work larger than that of any denomination
and broader than that of any creed, the
bringing Of precious souls to the kingdom of
Christ. To no special. state or country Is
the movement confined; Canada joins hands
with the United States in this work for the
Lord, and all around the world is sounding
the tread of this rapidly enlarging army of
young people who are enlisted for the ad-
vaDcement Of their Masters work. From
all denominations are recruits received to
labor for common cause, for common Sa-
viour. Greed distinctions are cast away and
forgotten.
The emphasis which Is laid upon Bible
study would indicate that this work Is to be
permanent. Another thing that Is very evil
dent is the hopeful. expectant and prophetic
element in it. The eye of the work seems to
be on the future. Nothing in religious his
tory ever equalled the success of the move
ment. 1t took Christianity when it started
three centuries to gain possession of Eu-
rope and yet In these short 10 years the
Christian Endeayor work has captured the
world. In connection with this marked sue
cess, humility is needed. and God has gra-
ciously placed at the head Of the work man
who has given unmistakable evidence of hu-
mility. We need to lose sight OF self In the
movement to be impressed with the great
fact that we are stamping ourselves .perma-
nently on our age and generation. and what
the future is largely depends upon what we
are. Let us live In the light OF eternity.
STATE STREET CHURCH.
Rev. F. T. Bayley yesterday morning took
for his topic what the attitude of the Chris
tian should be on the enforcement of the
liquor law" and gave as his text st. Mat.
thew VIII, "a, And behold the whole city
came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw
Nun they besought Him that He would de-
part out of their coasts" The idea of the
sermon was that we have been told that II
was impossible to enforce the prohibitory
law In Portland and now the sheriff Is en-
forcing it.

ROME, April %. The explosion o
g65 tons Of gunpowder Thursday in tn,
powder magazine at Pozzo Pantaleo,
which caused serious damage and lost
Of life, created great alarm at the Vati
can. All the windows of the pope's H.
brary we're broken and Il number Of
precious relics We're destroyed. In ad
dition many valuable panes Of colored
glass IN the principal windows OF St
Peters basilica were smashed TO pieces.
The handsome stained glass window
over the chair Of st. Peter WIS also
broken.
At ST. Pauls church all the stained
glass windows were damaged. In fact
the damage done to this church was so
great that the building has been closed
TO the public while the debris Is being
cleared away and the work OF tempor-
AIRY repair is being inaugurated
Much OF the destruction
wrought by the explosion Is
irreparablc, as the valuable works OF
art which have been destroyed can not
be replaced Many OF the stained glass
windows which have been shattered are
the work of celebrated artists who -four
ished hundreds OF years ago and, though
lin some cases the windows can be re-
placed, I'm many other cases their his
.orical and artistic value are des troyed
'orevcr. Many most valuable relics in
.he monastery OF ST. Paul have also sue
umbed 10 the force OF the explosion.
As already stated, some time must
slapse before the full amount OF the
damage will be known, as ii will re-
luire persona! visit to and inspection
IF tens OF thousands OF artistic relics be
ore the full story Of the disaster can be
recovered.
1t now transpires that the pope had
iust concluded the celebration OF low
mass, and was engaged in prayer when
he explosion shook the Vatican build
ng. So severe was the shock that his
holiness tottered and would have fallen
bad not one Of the servants in attend
lnce sprung forward and caught the
,enerable prelate in his arms. His ho-
iness has now recovered from the shock
nc experienced through the explosion.

Los ANGELES, Cal, April 20. Pro
lessor John Dickinson, brother OF Su.
san aud Anna, lives IN this city. He
speaks Of the controversy between the
sisters as follows:
'You mnst remember that / am q
brother Of both parties and you must
not make me appear 10 be taking sides
with one or the other. am very proud
Of my sister Anna. Since she was 10
years old she has made considerable
money and great prominence. Anna
always made money easily and was the
persOnitication Of generosity Susie al
ways acted as hOusekeeper and her sec
retary. When Annals health failed,
the residence in Philadelphia had TO be
abandoned and cottage was rented In
West Pittson, where Susie, as news
paper correspondent, actually sup
ported the family.
.'It was at this place my mother and
brother died, and here Anna returned
at the time Of her suit against the re-
publican national committee Susie
was nnremitting in her care as a nurse
and in working and earning money for
the family. Anna was attacked with
insomnia and was soon reduced 70 such
a condition that it WAS absolutely neces-
sary she should have rest and care
The state OF her finances would not per-
nit OF putting her in a civil asylum and
to Susies regret, Anna had to be taken
10 the state asylum al DanTille where
she rapidly improved. Later she was
taken TO similar institution at Gosh
en-, and there her stories Of persecution
began.
"1t is not remarkable that Susan
should Indignantly rise in her own de-
fense. These stories are of the kind
which. If all circumstances We're known.
their trivial foundation would appear
mdicrous: yet they do have sufficient
foundation TO prevent a truthful per
son from declaring them lies formed out
OF the whole cloth You know how
even an angry person will dis;ort the
most harmless acts NV two sisters are
not only angry, but worn and wearled.
The professor produced letters from
susan which showed an intense love and
interest in Anna The letters that
we're written during the latter's stsy at
Danville were very affecting. He also
received letters from Anna very forci-
bly written.

KANSAS CITY, April % --The United
States postal authorities think now that
they have got on the track OF the post
Office robbers who have been carrying
on their operations in this vicinity.
This morning Constable siwcigau Of
Kansas City, Ks. arrested Mrs Alice
NJ. st. John at her home, POPS North
Third street, Kansas City, KS, ON a
warrant sworn out by Postoilice In
spector William Il. Sullivan. The
technical charge against Mrs. ST. John
is taking from Mail Carrier Walker g
package addressed 10 Mrs. c. c. VIII

zling and destroying IT, Mrs. ST. John
was taken before Justice Hanks and
gave 500 bond for her appearance May

Ever since the robbery OF the Armour
dale postoffice several months ago Post
Office Inspectors sullivan and Spooner
have been working ON the case. Several
other postofiice robberics followed this.
at Olathe, at Sheffield and at several
places in the surrounding country
some time ago Mandel Bros, ladie,
clothiers of Chicago, notified the post
Office department that they had received
500 in postage stamps As payment for
some dress goods purchased by Mrs. n.
c. Wilson OF Kansas CITY, KS. at 2o21
north Third street This clue was fol-
lowed up and the mail carrier on that
route remembered having delivered a
package to Mrs. A. G.. Wilson at that
address. The inspectors went there.
but Mrs. st. John confronted them with
the statement that no one OF that name
lived there, and that she knew NO one
Of that name The mail carrier identi-
lied her as the woman to whom he had
delivered the package. She was then
arrested on the charge Of embezllmg,
and accepting mail not directed to her.
Mrs. ST. John, or Wilson, was seen

there was more in the case than was TO
be seen on the surface.
