Of the tickle aud evanescent char
acter of public applause, Rev. J. B.
Hawthorne says:
"My friends, if you have the ap-
plause of the multitude, esteem it
lightly, for OF all your possessions it
is the least substantial and pefma-
nent. A whisper of slander or de-
traction may deprive yos of it. One
brave word or act on your part may
dethrone you, and cause you to be
dispised, hated and branded With
every epithet that can give express
Sion to malignant feeling.
"Itis right, and it is wise to please
the people, when you can do it hon.
estly. There are some public speak
ers who would have us call their
coarseness, candor, and their vulgar
denunciatiOns of men fealty to God.
And when, by their own folly, they
raise storm of public Indignation
against themselves, they would have
US canonize them as martyrs. All
such counterfeit heroism is con-
temptible."

Their Mission.

In forcefnl sermon preached in
Atlanta, Georgia, recently, Rev. J.
B. Hawthorne said in part:
"The mission OF the Christian
minister is to guide the people, and
not to be guided By them. A semi
infidel newspaper, of another State,
thinks that the power of the pulpit
is waning.' The power of the pulpit
is waning only where the pulpit is
slavishly following the trend of pub
lie thought and sentiment. Wherever
it is true to its divine commission,
and has the courage to stand and
stubborniy oppose public sentiment
and customs, when they are contrary
to the oracles of God, its power is
increasing every day. A minister of
the gospel may have popularity
without power. If he is pliable, goes
with the current, appiauds every
thing that the people like, and docs
in Rome what Romans do he will
be popular-yery popular. But he
will have no power for good. A
minister's usefulness is measured
mainly By the courage sad fortitade
with which he resists public opinion
and feeling, when they are wrong"

but the only damage to property was

load of boxes. which were reduced to
kindling wood. A search was made for
some portion Of the supposed bomb or
else that might throw some
light upon the mystery, but without
avail, and the police were compelled to
postpone fuller investigation until
morning.
1t liz thought by the officers that one

At sS people passing through the
street observed smoke and flames issu-
ing from a third-story front window.
A policeman near the corner of Sixth
avenue was notified md turned In an
alarm, while the bartender In the base
ment cafe rushed upstairs to notify the
forty or fifty occupants Of the house.
They are principally theatrical people.
The household had been previously
alarmed, however, by the screams Of a
soubrette, who occupied the room where
the fire occurred, and who was rushing
about en- deshabille. waving her arms
frantically and crying for help.
1t is said that she had retired. leaving
the gas Jet near the window burning.
The early morning breeze had blown the
lace curtain into the flame and 1t caught
quickly. causing the blaze.
The awning of the window also caught
FIRE, making It appear for an instant as
II the whole interior was ablaze.
When the firemen arrived they found
It difficult to make a passageway to the
fire, the halls being strewn with trunks
and other baggage.
The blockade was made more complete
by the guests, who were jammed to-
gether so closely on the stairway in
their frantic efforts to reach the street,
that the firemen had to walt until
nearly all had escaped.
The blaze was extinguished with a
few pals Of water. An inspection of
the room showed that an expensive mo-
quet carpet, two valuable pictures and
portion Of the furniture had been badly
damaged. George p. Shotwell the
manager Of the hotel, appraises the
damage at 500.
