REV. j. o. WOhLBERG.

Rev. J. O. Wohlberg of the First Swedish
Methodist Episcopal Church, Howard street
between Eighth and Ninth, preached yes
terday morning from the text John III;
2-3: Beloved, now are we the sons OF God,
and il doth not yet appear what we shall
be, but we know that, when he shall APP
pear we shall be like him for we shall see
him as he is. And every man that hath
this hope in him purifieth himself, even as
he is pure"
The preacher said that his subject was
Christian hope. A Christian had every
cause TO hope because he was child OF
God.
lie had cause TO hope because he has all
the promise of Gods word and because the
spirit was given him TO finish the work ana
make a holy pers Oh of him.
The hope OF the Christian is TO be ike
Jesus because the text seys I'VE shall be
like him for we shall see him as be is"
What must a Christian do? The text
gives the answer: every man that hath
this hope in him purifeth himself. even as
he is pure"
To be like Jesus we have to purify our
selves from all flthiness. take the LORD
Jesus as our model TO form our lives after.
How was Jesus? l try to be like him. to
work for him. clean myself and throw away
everything unclean.
The evening meeting was devoted to a
revival service, the preacher selecting as

" In his hand are the deep places Of the

PSALM, continued the pastor, land how
thankful we should be Tor all the blessings
received at the hands Of the Lord. We
should never forget all these OOunties and
blessings. because the apostle said. You
may be thankful for all you have received. >"
For half an hour longer the pastor spoke
Of the lesson taught By his text. He then
introduced Rev. Z. Hedenstrom, a talented
missionary who has spent nearly a quarter
of a century in the wilds of Africa. He
briefly alluded to his missionary " ork, to
the customs of the Negroid tribes and to
the gradual spread Of Christianity through
out the great unknown country.

ELECTRIC TOOLS.
They Would Prove of Value on Ocean
Steamers,


An English electrical journal points out
that the accident which recently befell the
ship Umbria through the cracking Of her
propeller shaft. and the heroic efforts OH
the part Of her engineers. lead to the con-
clusion that the Atlantic liners are not suf-
1ieienty equipped with appliances for grap-
ping with such contingencies, and it is
probable that electrical tools will hence
forth come into general use on board ocean
steamers. IL is impossible to carry a we'll
equipped engineers shop on board such yes
sells, and, moreover, ordinary machine tools
cannot be readily moved about and applied
in confined space.
Since every large steamer Is now supplied
with electric light machinery it would be
easy to carry the current TO any corner of
the ship, TO matter how remote or cramped
1t might by, and utilize it for actuating tools
run by electric motors. A portable electric
drill. for instance, could readily have been
used for boring the holes in the shaft of the
Umbria, and the task could have been ac-
complished In one-fifth of the time. With
very little exertion on the part of the en-
gineers. Such drill can be used in confned
spaces where there Is scarcely loom for a
man TO stand in.
MANY of these appliances Of modern power
and Dimensions are in use in engineers
shops, and they prove an immense saving.
Instead OF bringing boiler, cylinder, shaft
or any other heavy piece Of machinery to
fixed machine, portable drills are carried to
the spot Of application, and no other con-
nection but pair OF wires is necessary 10

RAPID READERS.
Men Who Could Gather the Meaning
of Page at Glance.


Augusta Chronicle.
The death of Justice Lamar recalls trait
or faculty which he possessed in re-
markable degree. 1t has been said of him
that he was able to read newspaper arti-
Gle or page of book at what seemed to
be a glance. Manifestly this faculty or
capacity gave him great advantage over
ordinary men. He was able to devour
books as if he were literary glutton, with
the difference that his powerful memory
enabled him to digest at leisure what he
had absorbed in haste.
Macaulav possessed the same faculty per-
haps in a yet higher degree. He would
take mp volume for an evenings intel
lectual enjoyment, aud before he retired
had the contents impressed upon his mar
velOus mind. Dickens was another of these
remarkable rapid readers. George EliOt's
adam Bede" came TO him one day. Be-
fore bis ordinary bedtime he had read it
and had pronounced this remarkable die
tam: That book was written by woman"
Others required days of leisure to read it
and the question Of authorship was the
riddle Of the time in literary circles.
Charles Sumner was another man who
possessed this happy faculty. A book,
whether it was a volume OF Jaw or of d.
plomatic correspondence or work of fiction,
passed under his eyes as If by a quick sue
ceSSlOn OF glanceS. IL as the same with
Daniel Webster, who himself stated to
friend that when in college he read don
QulxOte' in a single night. In the case of
both these distinguished men what they
read in this way reappeared in new dress
in their speeches and in their writings.
or course a retentive memory was neces-
Sary to render the results Of this rapid
reading available. but it is plain that
in their capacity to read rapidly
they possessed an enormous advantage
over their felow-men. and the question
arises, is it possible to develop this faculty
and make 1t more generally useful in the
vast multiplication of books? 1t is impOs-
sible for the average reader 10 keep pace
with the production merely Of the best. to
say nothing of turning backward to the
wealth of the past. Indeed In the hurry of
modern life it is scarcely possible for the
business man, for the society woman or the
more modest housewife 10 keep pace with
the newspapers and snatch an occasional
hour for the magazines. To all of these it
would be an inestimable boon if they had
the faculty of grasping sentences, para
graphs, aud, perhaps pages, at a little more
than glance. No one but the most Hit
craze now pays attention TO the letters of
which a word is composed.

REV. c. M. ESBJORN.

Rev. c. NJ. Esbjarn OF the Swedish Evan
gelical Lutheran Ebenezer Church, Mission
street. between Eighth and Ninth. preached
yesterday morning from the text. MATTHEW
xvi :21-23: From that time forth began
Jesus 10 show unto his disciples how that
he must 90 unto Jerusalem and suffer many

He said: 1--WE stand in the spirit around
the cross TO learn the different thoughts
concerning the cross Of Jesus obtaining
among the different parties who are con-
cerned with it.
at is proper that We should first INQUIRE
for the thoughts of those who raised the
cross.
"Christ foretold that he would suffer
much from the elders, high priests and
scribes, and be put to death. He was
treated as a malefactOr. The synedTium
pronounced bis judgment as a just punish
Hent for disappearing God
such thoughts have now almost disap-
peaTed from the earth. ChTist's murderers
have few defenders. Rabbis, themselves,
count Jesus as one Of the great teachers of
Israel, the glory OF the people among the
Grntiles. Thus the honor of Christ is grad
ually restored.
Turning TO the friends of Christ to learn
their thoughts. they make no secret thereof.
They cannot agree with the cross. 1t ap-
pears TO them the grea est misfortune that
could befall either the Master or them
.sBut the same view Of the cross as mis-
fortune remains even to-day among Chris
