INCoNIPLETENEss OF LIFE.
Rev. Mr.. Gillette Used Moses, Lut her
and Others az an Example.

Rev. Mr.. Gillette Used Moses, Lut her
and Others "a an Example.
The Rev. c. B. Gillette, ID. D., of Chicago
preached at the Gurley Memorial Presby-
terian Church yesterday at II O'Clock.
The speaker took for his text Moses was
an hundred and twenty years old when
hc died, his eye was not dim nor his natural
force abated." Deut., 34:vii.
His theme was the iucompIetcuess of
human life There is no truth" said
he, more clearly taught in human history
than the incompleteness OF human life"
This was illustrated 10y scientific and re-
ligiouS reformers beginning but not com
plrtinE their work of reform but leaving
it TO be carried on aud finished by their
Successors and enjoyed by those still
following
Examples were found in our forrfathers
who endured the hardshipS of settling this
country aud leaving their labor To be en-
ioyed by those who came after them.
"Wycklffe ana HusS began the move
ment of religious reform a whole cen
u!ry before Martin Luther appeared upon
the stage who, with his contemporaries,
MCLcuthon aud John Calvin, carried on
the work and we are enjoying the benefits"
Moses also furnished an apt illustration
He had practiced Sef-dcnial, sa crifiCed the
prncely chair in the Egyptian court with
all OF its brillIancy and refinement OF life,
suffered with Gods people ana for them,
but yet did not enjoy entering the Prom
iSed Land
The speaker then passed on to show that
the tranSgrcssion OF Gods law is followed
| by certain punishment OF this also
Moses furnished an example. Notwith-
standing all he had done, he was punished
for di>obedience ofGod's law by the humili-
alton OF seeing the Promised Land but not
! going over thither.
The last point in the sermon was that
man should not live for himself alone, but
for humanity. THE thread ofevery mans
! life forms a part OF the great web of human
existence, and depends upon the individual
whether it shall be n beautiful golden or
red like crimson, or black and ugly like
iron
The sermon was rich in thought and
poetic i'll expression, and gained close
attention throughout

The Anti-SalOon League got IN another
through roaring mass-meeting held in
Emery II E Church. at Brightwood
This little stone church stands right in
the center OF what was Fort Stevens dur
ing the civil war, and yesterday the guns

rate, that recalled to the minds Of the

The meeting was called to order by

In speaking of the Brghtwood saloon,
whichit is alleged was obtained in violation
of the law requiring that the consent of the
propcrty-ownerS within a certain distance
on both sides of the street be obtained be-
fore the license may be granted Judge Tay-

Col John F VinaI. the veteran temper

greeted with applause and cheers. He re-
ferred to the charge which has been made
that the license had been granted because OF
the endorsement of certain Indiana SEN

The original purpose of the order was

DO Nor SLEEP ON THE LEFT SIDE
There is little doubt that an immense
number of persons habitually sleep on
the left side, and those who do so can
never, it is said, be strictly healthy. 1t
is the most prolific cause of nightmare,
and also of the unpleasant tasle in the
mouth on rising in the morning. All
food enters and leaves the stomach on
the right side, and hence sleeping on
the LETT side soon after eating involves
sort of pumping operation which is
anything but conducive to sound re-
pose. The action of the heart is also
seriously interfered with and the lungs
unduly compressed. Hence it is best
to cultivate the habit of always sleep
ing on the right side, although Sandow
and other strong men are said to inva.
riably sleep on their backs.-Philadel-
plia Times.

CANNOT PREACH IN MARYLAND
A stir has been caused in the high
churches of the Protestant Episcopal
Diocese of Maryland by an order just is
sued by Bishop Paret, refusing Ii
cense to members of the Order of the
Holy Cross to exercise their ministry
10 the Maryland diocese. The bishop
says these priests have not the qualifi-
cations to minister in the churches.
Father Sargent, the superior Of the or
der, says: "Our community has not
really been prohibited in the diocese,
but the bishop has withheld the license
required by canon law, whereby the
clergy may officiate in a diocese"
Bishop Paret is himself high
churchman and does not object to the
order because it is high church, but be.
cause he thinks it has uuwisely pressed
certain doctrines and because canon
law does not provide for relation of o
religious order to the bishop of the dio-
cese. The order consists at pres
ent of three professed priests and sew
eral postulants and novices. The
three professed members-Father Sar-
gent, Father Huntingdon and Father
Alleu-are well known throughout the
church for their preaching and mis-
sions.
The order was founded in New York
about fourteen years ago, and until 1851
its monastery was in that city. -Four
years ago house better suited for IFS
purpose was given the order in West
minister, Md, and it removed to that
place. The members of the order,
however. ramained canonically resi-
dents of the diocese of New York.
They have preached aud held missions
all through Maryland, but now they
will have to cancel all future engage
ments in compliance with the bishops
order, which practically inhibits them.
