The broadway Methodist.

At the Broadway Methodist Episcopal
Church last evening the new pastor. Rev.
j. X. Cooper, preached a powerful sermon
from the text: For am not ashamed of
the Gospel of Christ: for il is the power
Of God unto every one that believeth to
the jew first and also TO the Greek"
The pastor drew touching picture of
q man bowed down with suffering and
persecution who, even near the close of
his career did not falter, but was ready
TO 60 to Rome and preach the Gospel AS
long as life should be granted him. Such
was Paul, the grandest mind of all the
ages.
To illustrate the Power of God I"
The speaker called attention to the
marvellous works of his hands, the most
magnificent of which is man. himself
the maker of wonderful things, and the
marvellous system of the universe, in
cluding the sun, without whose light and
heat man could not endure for an hour.
But this is something that illustrates
even more perfectly the power of God and
that Is the great moral influence which
causes man to say Il ought" and II
ought not"
"The ''power OF God" saves from all
kinds OF immortality and sin everyone
who believes, and we are not asked TO
believe ANYTHING difficult TO understand,
or contrary TO the light that we have, but
simply allowing ourselves to take in the
doctrine OF the grace of God lxe eau -easil, y

Inc rev. w. III. spencer, pastor OF the
Fourth Unitarian Society, preached last
f., as specially invited guests. The oc-
casion was the seventy-third anniversary
Of the founding of Odd Fellowship In this

The speaker said he wished to speak of

miscuous giving. The old idea was not

was that beggars amassed fortunes, and
begged because il paid. At length people
began to see that there were two kinds of
poor, Gods and the DEVILS, and TO ar
range plans to benefit only the former.
Scientific charity aims to render pauper-
ism aud vagrancy, TO prevent imposition
and duplicate growing, TO reduce destitu-

paupers and beggars. BY the modern
system of charity which provides "A re-

YESTERDAYS SERMONS
Delivered by Several Of the Best
Known Providence Pastors.
TALK TO ODD FELLOWS.
Ths Rsv. DIR. King Preached to Aiffedians
n the First Baptist Church-sermon by
the New Pastor of the Broadway Meth
odist Church.

At All Saints Church last evening the
rector. the Rev. Daniel w. Henshaw
preached. The speakers remarks were
general and treated of the Eastertide,
with the duties devolying upon Chris
tians. "There are three miracles" said
he, (which are before us all every day, the
first of which Is the appearance of matter
I'm this universe. This world il composed
OF matter. but how was il made !? Human
ingenuity is powerless in the presence of
God, who has placed us upon his footstool.
The second miracle is the appearance OF
life in matter. Whence comes man, and
who can Judge his mission The free,
conscious will is the third miracle. Man
= born with this property implanted
within his breast, and his life is impreg-
mated with the effect OF his moral con-
seriousness.
sThe life of Christ is the realization of
that of an ideal man. When we compare
the grand ideal with the reality in daily
life we are almost always disappointed by
the actuality. We idealize the church
How beautiful is its purity and how in
spring its teachings. Its brotherhood Is
the nearest approach to saintlike com
the actual aspect. Here we see its white
robes trailed i'm the dust and the brother
hood OF its members stirred and broken
with turmoil and strife. There is a radi-
cal difference between the man who has
faith in his heart aud he who has not, and
the ideal man is he of the former class
Let us take Christ as our ideal and by ex-
amining closely into his life of mercy and
forgiveness we may be enabled TO fit our
selves for the life of eternity co come"

know no fowls of the air which
more admirably typify in their own
persons the effects of forestine
tropical fruit eating life than the
gorgeous toucans. Their big bill en-
ables them to reach out from afar at
fruits as they sit at their ease on the
trees that bear them, and to toss
them off at a gulp in a large and airy
manner that is very characteristic of
all the whole-swallowing fruit eat
ers. They are gregarious and So
ciable birds, to great extent organ
lied into fixed community; for they
make common cause against enemies,
such as owls and falcons, whom they
surround and mob with one accord
after the fashion of all dominant
races, as rocks do in England.
Having thus little need for protec-
ton, they are noisy and clamorous
in their native woods, resembling in
all these respects the other gregari-

The Dinner Hour.

The hour for dinner has undergone
several changes About 400 it was
10 a. m. Henry VIII dined at this
time and supped at 4. In the Six
teenth century dinner was at Il,
breakfast at Z and supper at or 6.
In the following century meals were
an hour later.
Disraeli tells us that in the reign
of Francis | of France folks rose at
8, dined at 8, supped at 5 and went
to bed at 9, which, according to a
popular saying, made them live to
the age of ninety nine. Louis XII, it
is said, fastened his death by alter
ing his hours to please his young
wife. Instead of dining at s a. m.
and going to bed at 6 p. m, he took
to dining at noon and often sat up

The evils of meat diet are being
appreciated by many high hvers in
cities, and these are being counter
acted partly by the wealthy in add
ing more fruits and vegetables to
their tables during the winter. The
cheapness of meat and a peculiar
craving which the system seems to
have for meat have gradually made
it common for city people to live al
most entirely off meat in the winter
months.
Meat is eaten three times day in
quantities, and the excessive use of
such diet is that rheumatic and
govt temperaments are acquired.
These temperaments are ON the in
crease, and they are largely due to
the excessive use of meat. Lime
water counteracts the evils of this
diet to large extent Pittsburg
