Sergeant Vaughan.

A hero in humble life was recognized
in New York lately by the gift OF a.
gold medal. He richly deserved it, a.
fact which appears in this record of
his deeds, published in the Christian
at Work:
A sergeant of fire patrol in this city,
John R. Vaughan, was present at the
fire in the Hotel Royal a month ago.
At a window in one of the upper
stories was gathered a group with
anxious faces,-a father, mother and
child, d,-waiting perhaps to die together.
At the next window, in an adjoining
building, appeared a. sergeant OF our
patrol. The distance was too great
to reach. Without hesitation he
threw himself down: resting one arm
upon the sill and entwinlng his leg
around the telephone wire, Fortunate
ly conveniently near; with his other
arm, one by one he conducted this
group of three over his prostrate body,
as bridge, to the window of safety.
His work was not yet done. Ascend
ing to the roof he discovered a man
standing upon the sill of a window in
another portion ofthe house, doubt
ing whether to meet death by jumping
or wait to be overtaken by the fire.
Shouting to him to wait and he would
save him, Mr.. Vaughan rushed to
the street, and calling upon his COM
rades to follow, ascended to the roof
of another adjoining building; hastily
throwing off his coat, his companions
holding him by his legs, he threw him
self headward over the cornice, and
with their assistance, raised this man
of over two hundred pounds in
weight to the roof. The rescue was
completed, these lives were saved.
MIR. Vaughan was presented with
q gold medal commemorating his
heroism. And he richly deserved it.
He was true hero, and none the less
so that he performed his deeds in the
line of his duty.

Slightly Misunderstood.

A good story is told OF a very rever-
end and very dignifed master Of an
English college. Although "the doc
tor" was a serious man, he was also
kindly one, and when 8, young man OF
his college fell i'll, did all in his power
to procure him good care and the
best medical advice. Finally the In
valid's sister arrived, and as she was
young and inexperienced. the worthy
doctor endeavored by constant at
tention, to tighten her load of anxiety.
She was most grateful, and confided
to her betrothed who was at dis
tance her desire that only the dear doc
tor" the master of the college, should
perform their wedding ceremony.
The student recovered and was now
to accompany his sister home, there
to be nursed into vigor again. The
Doctor was present to say goodbye,
and the young lady was full of graft
tude. Doctor" she said grasping
both his hands, "you have been so
good to mel" "I have found great
pleasure in your acquaintance, said
the gentleman. 'You have done so
much for me, but am going. to ask
you one more favor! Will you promise
to marry me?" The doctor, amiable
as he was, dropped her hands and
started back in horror. .sMy dear
young lady" he stammered. 'I-Pm
afraid we shouldn't get on together!n'

TOO MANY UNcoNvERrED MINISTER'S.
Their hearts have never been changedi
Dy the grace Of God. A mere intellect
ual ministry IS the deadest failure this
side OF perdition. Alas for the gosnel
OF icicles! From apologetics, and her
meneutlcs, and dogmatics, good Lord
deliver us! They are trying to get their
power from transcendental theology.
or from profound exegesis, or from
splitting hairs between north and
northwest side, instead ofgettine their
power from the secret place of tbrn-
der. We want the power a man gets
when he is alone, the door locked: on
his knees; at midnight; with such a..
burden OF souls upon him that makes
him cry out, first in lamentation and
then in raptures.
Let all the Sabbath school teachers.
and Bible class instructors, and ali
reformers, and all evangelists, and all
ministers know that diplomas, and
dictionaries, and encyclopedias, and
treaties, and libraries. are not the
source OF moral and spiritual achieve
ments, but that the room@of prayer,
where no one but God is present and
no one but God hears, is the secret
place of thunder.
At . o'clock Wednesday morning,
June Is next, on the steamer CITY Of
New York, expect to sail for Liver
pool, to be gone until September. It
is IN acceptance of many invitations
that am going on a preaching tour.
expect to devote my time to preach
ing, the gospel in England, Scotland,
ireland and Sweden. I want to see
how many souls I can gather for the
Kingdom Of God. Those countries
have for many years belonged to my
PARISH, and l 60 to speak to them and
shake hands with them. Twant to
visit more thoroughly than before
those regions from which my ancestors
came, Wales and Scotland
But who is sufficient for the work I
undertake? call upon you who have
long been my coadjutors to go into
the secret place of the Almighty, and
every day from now until my work is
done on the other side of the sea, to
have me in your prayers. In proper
tion to the intensity and continuance,
and faith of the prayers, yours and
mine, will be the results. If you re-
member me in the devotional circle,
that will be we'll, but what l most
want is yourimportuning, your wrest-
ling supplication in the secret place of
thunder. God and you alone may
make me the humble instrumentality
in the redemption OF thousands of
souls.
