PHILLIPS BROOKS.
Memorial Sermon by Rev. DIR. Dalton at
st. Stephens.

oOs StCpho1Ss
Many of those among us who revere
the memory of Phillips Brooks, respond
ed to the invitation extended them to as
sist at a memorial service at st. Stephen
church last evening. DR.. Daltons SER
mon was from ST. John, 14:12: He
that believeth on me the works that do
shall he do also.'
These words of Jesus were the key
note of the sermon, and the point was
well taken that, as they are fulfilled in
every life truly Christian, they were,
therefore, so in the life and ministry of
Phillips Brooks, since before all things
he was believer in Jesus as the light OF
the world, and the life Of man. 10
bring men to Jesus Christ whose inf1u-
ence was and is personal influence, this
was his constant eudeavor, the chief aim
of all his efforts. This was the word he
preached, and with such power as to in
terest, impress, arouse and attract
larger number than any other preacher
Of our time and his hearers were of all
sorts and conditions. To some this fact
appears as reproach, mote of I'M
soundness. To others as evidence of a
Christlike spirit and aim. Since large
numbers of the most diverse sentiments
and beliefs were almost equally attracted
by his preaching and brought under it's
influence, the inference of some is that
his teaching must have been lacking in
clearness and consistency. These critics
lay stress on old 9'shibboleths' of theolo-
gy, such as the fall of man, total depray-
ity, and others of the same tenor. But
if this time-worn phraseology of human
systems was absent from his sermons
the truths of the gospel were ever pres
emit. God, our Father, Jesus, our Savior,
man, 1.-THE heir of all the ages, the
most glorious inheritance, were the
themes on which he loved to dwell.
Mankind are the children of God, and as
such heirs of all things in hea-
We and on earth. But instead
of living up to their privileges, they fall
far short of it. Their Father has given
them beautiful houses to live in with
plenty of light, pure air, and all the con-
ditions of heal ny existence. But
some are satisfied to live in the dark
basement OF darker cellar, others on the
north side where the sun never shines,
while those living on the south actually
close the shutters, preferring darkness
to light, gloom to brightness, feebleness
to strength, and in these ways, Illustrate
by their own folly and wickedness, the
ample and glorious gifts of God.
Further, no preacher OF prophet ever
warned men more faithfully of the pit
falls and dangers which wait upon sell
fishness, pride aud elf-indulgence. The
possibilities of life filled him with awe,
and he never ceased to urge the fearful
consequences of an erring, sinful choice,
when good and evil are set before us. At
best, all men of moral ca nestness are

Two Good Ones.

Colonel Charles FitZhugh is prominent
member of the Southern society in New
York, and he fought CALAMITY for the lost
cause, SO calamity indeed that he is liked
by the old soldiers against whom he fought,
and is quite chumny with many of them.
The colonel can tell good story, and he
has deserved reputation for wit and skill
at repartee, but he has horror of puns,
and he shows it when one of those social
terrors-a punster-c comes near him.

OUR DANGER.
Look Out for the Spring Of 1898 I!
FoREwARNED is FoREARMED.

The Hatcheries of Cholera, and What Is
To Be Seen Thereof the Disease
Breaks Out in New York Where Will 1t
End?
There are few things which have never
come to pass which seem surer OF COM
ing than Cholera this spring. Three
well known physicians, one in Boston,
two in New York, have said this. A re-
cent despatch from Hamburg in the
daily papers says:
SIT is feared that the seeds of death
sowed last summer will yield fruitful
harvest in the spring"
There is no lodging this DIR ad disease
in the spring and summer OF 1898.
The country is ripe for it.
Our lax immigration laws will be
wholly responsible for the death rate
through Cholera during 1893.
For years the United States has been
Europe's sewer. ALI the scum of her
human tides have been skinned off and
ladled to our shores.
Austria, Bavaria, Poland, Russia,
Turkey, Italy, China, these and many
other foreign countries send the rag-tag
and bob-tail, the vicious, the depraved,
the vile, the diseased, and the utterly
lost, to our shores. This they have been
doing for years with the utmost impuni-
ty.
As famous New York physician re-
Gently remarked to the writer.
"How can we escape Cholera next
year? Of course, it won't break out up
on 9Th Avenue, but it will eventually
reach there, and all over the land. 1t
will break out over on Forsyth, and Di-
vision, and Hester streets, and the
Bowery, and Cherry Hill, and the Five
Points. and Roosevelt street. Those
points are points of dirt and vermin.
That is where Cholera in this country
will break out. God knows where it
will end.o
This is an awful but timely warning
Cholera is deadly, that we know.
The way to escape the frightful vista
ton is to be prepared for it.
Get your house-that is your body-in
perfect order.
Purify your system.
Cleanse and enrich your blood.
Remember that the Boston Globe said
editorially:
Contagious diseases seldom attack
perfectly healthy people. Persons whose
vitality is low and whose general health
is impaired, are the first to fall preys to
epidemics.
DR.. John B. Bray of Bridgton, in re-
Spouse to inquiry, said:
Certainly, people should now look
sharply after their health. If Cholera
reaches our shores everyone should be
prepared physically, SO far as possible, to
Withstand it. We should put our bod
les in good condition, as well as our
premises. If the blood is foul, the liver
clogged, and the stomach out of order,
such person is far more likely to be
among the first victims than others in
good health
He also indorses, as the ideal remedy
for purifying the blood and arousing Vi
tally, KINGS SARSAPARILLA.
It is the ounce of prevention that most
concerns the people now, and it is GER
tainly sensible advice that recommends
us to put our bodies in good order as
