AN EXCELLENT DISCOURSE.

The Laodfcean Lesson-Apathy and
Enthusiasm In the Church.
Rev. Charles Conklin preached an elo-
quent and powerful discourse yesterday
morning in the Church of the Messiah bs-
fore large and appreciative audience. Bis
discourse was based on the words found in
the third chapter of Revelations and part
of the fifteenth verse: "Neither cold nor
hot" After describing Lsodioea and lite
commercial importance as well as it's cul-
ture and also the founding of the church
there, through the brilliantly successful Ia
bors of Paul, who "kindled tho beacon
lights of truth from city to city including
imperial Rome" the speaker drew some
striking and impressive lessons from the
text. He showed how material desires
dwarfed tie spiritual nature and how
lukewarmness and apathy led to decay and
ruin. He counselled his hearers to stead
fastness of purpose and enthusiasm in the
noble work to which they had dedicated
their lives. In closing he drew q most
vivid picture of number of illustrious
heroes in the Masters service whose lives
were fragrant with noble effort and grand
results. and exhorted all to emulate them
and thus become living epistles of the glo-
rious faith held by true Universslists; .
faith that will lift mankind to higher
level and add to the happiness and psacs
of the human race.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2'.-Taken altogether the mar

were more gains than losses. New England was
the exception. The actual local traders OF the

compliments to Mr.. Plat on his confirmation as
receiver.

ness.
The Elm City kindergarten association
has auspiciously begun Its work, having
opened one school in comfortable quarters
at Welcome hall, rented by the ASSOC istion
of the mission, If any one will call at the
school from 8 q. m. to 10 m. any week day
except Saturday they can see the practical
working of the school and be convinced of
the need of just such work In our city.
The Davenport Sunday school gave their
December Offering of $50 to this object and
it is hoped that other Sunday schools in the
city will do likewiee as 1t seems fitting that
the church schools should have an interest
in this praiseworthy work. The hope
entertained IL that more schools of this
kind may be established in the city and an
appeal ia made to the public to sustain this
work. 1t has the active support of many
of our first citjx sns and any sums in con-
tribution to this object may be sent to J.

OF 1894.

The Closing Lectures fer the Season
Of 1894.
To morrow evening ct the Hyperion Mr..
John L. Stoddard will deliver the last lee
ture of his eeriss and will repeat 1t Thurs.
day evening. These two evenings will be
Mr.. stoddsrd's farewell appearances here,
greatly to the regret, doubtless, of the
large number of wsll-entertained people
who have fooked to hear him during the
past four weeks. The lecture tomorrow
evening will continue the descriptions of
India, beginning at the chief city, Calcut-
ia, whose parks and palaces and miles of
shipping contrast strangely with the many
evidences of crude native life Immediately
about. Then comes Delhi, once the capital
of the famous mogul emperers, with forts
and mosques and miles Of interesting
ruins. Intimately associated with Delhi
aud with Lucknow and Cswnpore, next on
the route, are the heroic and pathetic mem
cries connected with the dreadful mutiny
of 1857. which nearly destroyed British
supremacy In India. A glory of India
recognized az one of the wonders Of the
world is the famous Tai Mshal, which calls
forth Mr.. Stoddard's utmost enthusissm
and gives opportunity for his wonderful
illustration. These last occasions will not
willingly be missed by any who appreciate
the value and beauty of . Stoddard leo

into a boat which was anchored near
the bank. A few minutes later one Of
the men, who had been watching him,
cried out that the colonel had fallen
into the water. There was an imme-
diate rush for the boat. THE unfor-
tunate gentleman was lifted out of the
water in an unconscious cOnultion. He
was gasping for breath and died with
in a few minutes.
A hasty examination showed Col.
f'1att had fallen as a result of an apo
pfectic stroke. He was not in the water
long enough to have caused drowning.
Mrs. PIatt, one of the first ut the
scene. was beside herself with grief.
The body of Col. Platt was tenderly
lifted from the bank and carried to
the hotel, where he had been stopping,
Later it was brought to the undertake
er's office in Georgetown and prepared
for shipment to Denver by the after
noon train.
Col. Platt was widely known
throughout the state as the promoter
of the extensive paper mills ut Denver.
These mills have been built almost
solely through his efforts and their
successful operation is due to his busi-
ness sagacity. He was actively cn-
gagged In promoting many other public
enterprises at Denver. He was sc
years old.
