COWORKERS.

For we are laborers together with God.--I
Cor. III. o.
What Is the work for which we ar4t
labor We are laborers together with
God. But labor for what? What is the
mission of Christianity II is the dream,
OF dreams Of the ages; it is the source Of
tnspiration for every dream of Utopia
born in the soul of man as he looked
out upon suffering, struggling humanity
and hoped for better things. The lion
and the lamb shall lilo down together.
and the little child shall lead them, and
they shall not hurt nor destroy in all my
holy mountain. for the glory of the Lord
shall cover the world as the waters
cover the deep. Such is the dream of
the prophet who foresaw the Jesus who
should announce 10 the world his scheme
for worlds redemption and regenera
tion. The work Of Christianity is the
salvation OF this world-here, nop; the
salvation of man individually, of society
in all its ramihcations. of the state in ali
its possible powers and duties: the sal.
walton of race.
God has called you as a band Of Chris
tians to this work. as he has called all
his church who follow Christ but he has
called ycu with an emphasis peculiar.
with an emphasis more clear, larger in its
responsibilities. thar any other church.
He has called this little church to stand
in the very heart of the metropolis of the
New World. and in its throbbing center
there to touch the life of the whole city
to its utmost limits. Your city is the
wealthiest city of the New World God
has given you message to the wealth of
the century. He has also given you a
message to the poor-the poor, with their
wants and needs, whom he has called to
your door in larger numbers than to any
other church's door on the continent.

SING SING, May 1.-THE autopsy on the
body of Thomas Pallister, the murderer
who escaped from the death house Mt Sing
Sing prison with Roche, and which was
found in the Hudson river opposite here
by two fishermen, shows that the cause of
death was n pistol wound in the head.
The bullet was 3S-calibre, and had passed
through the cheek under the left eye. 1t
lodged in the base of the brain, which was
IN ragged condition. In the opinion of
the two physicians Pallister was dead
before reaching the water. The suppose
ton Is that Roehle shot Pallister and then

sorae OF tho Possibilities That May Ariie
From the Chinese Exclusion Act
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Now that the
Chinese exclusion law has been declared
constitutional, the government finds that
1t hardly knows where it is at.' The
expense of enforcing the law is enormous,
and no money is available for this pur-
pose. 1t Is even to be doubted whether
congress would vote an appropriation If It
were in session. The effects of the deci-
sion are far reaching and may involve the
complete severance of our diplomatic and
commercial relations with the Chinese en-
pire.
This means that the Chinese minister at
Washington will present his letters Of re-
call to the president and close up the lega-
zion in this city. Then the American min
lister at Peking will be politely requested
to withdraw from China and will be fur
nished with passports for himself and as
sistants. The next step will be to send Amer
lean citizens of all classes, merchants, mis-.
sionaries, ETC., out of the celestial country,
accompanied by an imperial decree closing
all Chinese ports to citizens Of the United
States, including even tourists. While
these may be extreme views on the subject
1t is nevertheless true that the cabinet is
discussing the question in all its bearings
The fact that the naval officials are con-
sidering the question of recognizing the
American squadron in Chinese waters looks
suggestive

evident the decline was due to manip.
ulation from this side and q rally
promptly ensued. There was q good
buying Of stocks generally and the
Vanderbilts were credited with liberal
purchases Of their specialties.
After the market had enjoyed a sub.
stantial advance the bears began to
hammer the list and reaction OF a to
per cent. ensued, but the decline had
the effect of changing trading. On the
other hand as soon as the market started
on the up-track against speculation it
became lively, and after the delivery
hour 1t was characterized by q posi-.
lively buoyant tone. The short interest
was considerably alarmed and final
quotations were anywhere from Il to
n per cent. above last nights finals.
When the demand b. came urgentit was
found that the floating supply had been
materially reduced by recent purchases
for investment. The borrowing demand
was active and the market was full of

wished to limit their losses. The mar
