WORDS OF PRAISE

From tho Pastor OF tho Fourth Street
sIethodist Church for His Congregation
md the Official Board.
Tho services at the Fourth street
Methodist church yesterday morning
lasted longer than usually, and most OF
the time was devoted to the baptism OF
twenty-six members OF tho church.
Since Rev. DR.. Riker took charge Of the
pastorate, ninety-nino have joined the
church on probation, and about l2C
have professed conversion.
In tho course OF his remarks Rev. DR..
Riker said that tho character OF the re.
vival meeting, so iar as he could judge,
was OF q most substantial type. The con
verts almost wholly are very positive in
their professions, and do not hesitate to
let it be known. The pastor regards the
meeting as having been very successful,
and he thinks the effect on the church
will be as good as tho effect on those re.
Gently united. A great many people
were quickened and their spiritual life
enlarged.
+ He spoke invery high praise OF his
congregation, saying that he had never
had church to support him in his Of.
forts moro generously and unanimously
than did the Fourth Street church.
The official board was tho most efficient
he had ever had dealings with; during
the revival had worked hard and been
thoroughly loyal.

No doubt there were thousands Of
Jews in Shushan who thought the same
as Mordecai did, but they obeyed tho
king command either out OF fear or
out OF policy, but rs we see later on this
would not have saycd them from the
wrath OF H9man. Mordecai's name,
however, has been retained for posterity
rs a pattern Of true moral strength and.
courage, as hero who stands firm and
mistaken in his convictions.
And with all this Mordecai was a
true patriot, a far better one than this
upstart Hannah, who for his own vain
glory would have deprived tho country
OF some Of its best citizens. No sooner
did Mordecai hear Of tho conspiracy OF
the two chamberlains, Bigthan and
Teresh, aiming at the kings life, he
gave notice ut the court, inquisition was
made OF tho matter and tho two crimi-
nails were duly punished. But is this
all? Are there no other features, no
other traits about his character? Is
there nothing else but the steadfastncss
OF mind, tho so-called stubborn head :?
This strone-headed man had also n
kind and tender heart, rs soft and ten
der us that OF u woman, Tor we ere told
