AT THE FIRST MI. E. CHURCH.

Rev. pr. Chapman, Formerly Pastor 2. of This Church, Speaks to Large
 COngregation of Ills Former Par.
 ishioners- on Christian Activity.
 The services at the First M. E. church were conducted yesterday by the former pastor of the church, Rev. Dr. M. B. Chap man. There was large congregation of his former parishioners present in the morning to listen to their cid pastor. When Dr. Chapman was resident of this city he always attracted many people by the earnest and striking character of his discourses and the eloquence of his de- livery. And he does not seem to have lost anything of his old-time eloquence. He took for his text, "And 1t came to pass in those days that He went out into noun tain to pray and continued all night in prayer with God. d."-St. Luke 6: 12. The main thing of his discourse was Christian activity. He said: ct is necessary for all Christians to go up into the mountain and get into the spirit of prayer. You must get away from the world and the things of the world and up into the pure air of the mountains. Jesus recognized the value of this separation from the world and the closer communion with God the Father. And the example of Christ should be followed inspirit, at least, by His dis ciples of the present day. For in order to be useful and to retain one's hold on the Christian life one must keep in spirit of activity. At times we are all of us ex, posed to many trials and temptations, the spiritual impetus and quickening which we may receive by dwelling apart from the world for time will give power to re sist them. But this spirit of Christian emotion which we receive by such dwell ing apart and communion with God will amount to nothing unless we come dowI into the lowlands and valleys of the world and do our share of the actual work. II is the spirit of activity which helps ths cause of Christ"
 pr. Chapman also preached to a large congregation in the evening. The pastor Dr. Wilbur G. Williams, is at present en. toying months vacation. He spent yes terdsy at Ocean Grove and later he will visit ths worlds fair. He returns to New Haven on the second Sunday in Ssptem Der. Dr. Chapman will again occupy this pulpit on the 27th of this month.

AN EYE-OPENER

Ii isnot to estimate the prosperity of .,7,r country by the wealth of 6 few indi- viduals. It must be based upon the pros nerity of the average industrious citizen. Ii used to be a familiar expression that any man who is willing to work can always findit But we all now that this expression is a very plain lie. We all know that industrial Impressions are made to order and are the results of bad laws. Every generation has its panic, and the present is the best Eye-Orener that the thoughtful nan ever had. Our whole social system is changing fast, and 1t is encouraging to bnow that the biggest brained men in the world are at on the problem. It is going to be settled by votes and not by bullets and every man should edu ate himself for the coming task. The WATERBURY FURNITURE co, is in the swim, and feels hilarious over the good time that must come in the near future The American brain and hand-worker feels that the present depression in business is & national dis grace, wholly artificial, and pure case of dishonesty (not incompetency) on the part of our Legislators.
