congregational Church.

In a brief prelude to the morning
prayer Rev. 4. NJ Washburn, an
nounced his formal acceptance of a
unanimous call TO the regular pastor
ate of the Congregational church for
the year 1895, in which he noted some
very pleasing circumstances connect
ed with the call, referred to the de-
lightful relations Of the past, and eX-
pressed his hope for the future work
of the church as led by the spirit of
God.
The subject of the morning dis
course was, The Diversity of Gifts and
their Proper Use, based one the text,
Eph. fl, Il therefore the prisoner Of
the Lord, beseech you that We walk
worthy of the vocation wherewith We
are called"
Paul was what every man ought to
be, a prisoner of the Lord We are
not our own, We have have been pur-
chased with great price, and there-
fore, our highest privilege is to serve
the Lord Christ.
Every man has some calling in life,
some useful purpose involved in the
fact of his being No man is created
to be nonentity, but himself useful
in some sphere. All have not the
same gift or the same calling, as is
plainly seen in the diversity of occu-
pations, and the wisdom of such an
arrangement is self evident, as clearly
SO as is the need Of the various mem
bers Of the body. Every vocation in
life is alike honorable in the sight of
God and sustains an important place
in the worlds progress and in the III
innate eXaltatfon Of man. The all
important thing for each one at the
outset is to know his gift, recognize
it's source, and remember the object
for which it is bestowed A mans
peculiar gift is often noted in the
days Of his childhood and should be
properly considered by his parents,
gardianS and teachers. The source of
every gift in man is God, and our re-
cognition of that fact is essential to
keep before us the other fact, that
the great purpose OF every human en-
|dowment is to work out the will Of
God in man as whole. The delu-
sion of saten is to divorce the secular
from the religious and make the one
antagonlze the other, so that men
may believe the lie that a man can
not develop his God-given powers to
their greatest possibility and be
spiritual. Christ came to unite the
two into one harmonious whole, that
the real problem of human life might
appear in the mission of the church,
namely: The perfect development Of
all ii4.tnkind into 1.-THE measure of the
statute Of the fullness Of Christi
TO that end the spirit of God in us
works in all these gifts, and he will
accomplish his purpose in us and
through US, if we will submit orr
selves to his leading, walking worthy
of our high calling of God ia Christ
Jesus.

The afternoon was rapidly fading Into

The oavalrymen were strung out SO that
there were gaps of several feet between
horses, and as the prisoners were sing

vigilance of the captors was naturally
relaxed. The wall which inclosed the

CHAPTER XIX.

As the Federals poured into the Shen-
andoah valley and regained lost ground
the quartermaster and commissary
stores left by Jackson under the guard
Of few score men at Harrisonburg
were made ready to be forwarded to
Richmond. While Royal Kenton fully
realized that his being left behind was
but another move in the conspiracy TO
destroy him, he allowed no one to un-
derstand the real state OF his feelings.
There was work to do, and plenty of it,
and he took hold so willingly that only
n few days had passed before he was
commended for his zeal by the major in
command Of tho post.
Unexpected difficulties arose about
securing transportation, and though re-
ports of Federal advance were daily
received the major hung on in hopes Of
saving the stores. One morning at sun
rise his pickets were driven in by troop
ers i'll blue, and 10 minutes later he re-
ceiyed Il summons from General Custer
to surrender. He had only about zoo
men all told, while it was plain to he
seen that ho was fairly surrounded by
the force opposed. He asked for Is
minutes to consider and at tho end of
thnt time returned refusal. His little
force almost to man had agreed to
fight to the last. Three or four earth
works had been thrown up to protect
the supply depot, but they were with
out artillery. The force was divided so
as TO man them all, and Royal Kenton
and Steve Brayton found themselves
and about 20 other men in work with
out even a noncommissioned officer
among them. AS they were already un-
der fire, Renton was by common consent
given command.

WARRINGTON, April 20-Yesterday in
ths senate was almost entirely consumed
by speech against the pending tariff bill
by Senator Perkins, of California, The
speech was mainly devoted to n discussion
of the articles in the bill which directly
affected California wool, fruits, quick

sldered other features in the bill in which
his state was not q terested but which
were opposed to 2 publican principles

serious view of the prospective gathering
OF Coxeyites and others here thar the first
reports would have seemed to Indicate
They do not entertain SO much apprehen-
sion concerning the immediate followers
OF Goxey as they do on account OF the
large number of other organizations re-
ported TO be headed towards tha city, and
they think it possible that the large cities
OF the eastern seaboard may furnish large

that there will be q sufficient assemblage
otherwise to make a cloak for pickpockets

sional agitntors, who, being reckless of
consequences, may incitc the crowd to
violence.
senators who snt quietly in open session
yesterday while the Populist senators
were discussing the proper method of
dealing with the CoXeyites expressed
themselves quite freely in secret session,
to the effect that immediate measures
should be taken by the executive depart
ment to meet any of the exigencies which
may arise. The opinion is expressed by
senators who participated In the execu-
tive proceedings that In view of preced-
ents and the emergency That is likely to
arise President Cleveland would be iust-
he'd in issuing a proclamation warning
the men now on their way TO the city in
connection with CoXey's movement that
the authorities will be prepared to re-
quire the strictest observance of order.
The opinion is also freely expressed in the
