soLoMoN.s song DEFESpED.
Impressive and Beautiful Sermon by

Impressive and Beautiful Sermon by
Rev. DR.. Young. or Louisville.
The pulpit at the New York Avenue Pres
byterian Church was occupied last evening
by the Rev. DR.. w. G. Young, of Louisville,
Ky. The reverend gentleman took his text
from Solomon's Song, 2 chap, 4verse-"He
brought me to the banqueting house, and his
banner over me was love-"
The discourse was of a metaphorical
nature, the imagery elucidated being very
impressive and of beautiful character.
The speaker began his remarks by referring
Ito the fact that there were persons who
believed that Solomon's Song tended to
minister to impure thoughts. Such a
criticism OF the book, DR.. Young pleaded,
was erroneous. The song, he said, was
uf exquisite literary finish, matchless beauty
and the subjects treated of anexaltedn nature.
In dwelling on the subject proper the
speaker compared the church on earth to q
great banqueting feast prepared for
bridegroom and his bride. The church is
the bride and the bridegroom Jesus Christ,
and as at q great marriage feast, the chief
attention is always devoted to the guests so
with the followers of Christ here.
They who are the disciples of the Mas
ter said the speaker, experience the
honor, glory, dignity and joys ysoftheirreligion
and the best earthly representative of the
.ullness of those joys is the bridegroom at
the marriage feast"
The greatness of Christ's banquet for his
children, continued DR.. Young, was to be
measured by the length of time preparing
for it-from the beginning of the world
until the crucifixion; then by its cost
the life blood of the Son of Man, the great
est sacrifice ever made for the redemption
and comfort of Gods people on earth.
In conclusion the reverend gentleman
dwelt on the thought of immortality, and
said there was no desire so intense within
the human breast as hope for life be-
yond the grave. In this connection, the
speaker alluded to the promise of the
Master of life with him i'll heaven, and
this promise had planted an embargo OF
everlasting life in the hearts of all his Great
ures, which may be developed into posi-
tive knowledge of everlasting felicity in
the presence of God by following the pre-
ceprs of the Savior which he gave us while
on earth.

WEIGHED IN THE BALANCES.

Evangelist Elsom Begins a Series of
Services Mt Second baptist Church.
Notwithstanding the threatening weather
a large congregation attended the special
services at the Second Baptist Church in
East Washington, last evening. The SER
mon was delivered by Evangelist Percy
G. Elsom, who spoke from the text: Thou
art weighed in the balance and found want
.ng,' as recorded in the fifth chapter of
Daniel and twenty seventh verse.
Men weigh on one kind of scales" said
Mr.. Elsom, but l want to weigh you all
on the scales of Gods eternal truth First
/ wish to weigh the doubling Christian.
Why do Christians doubt? Is it because
they take their minds away from God and
look upon themselves? Inactivity is
source of doubt. When men look further
than Gods word they doubt; they Will al
ways doubt.
..Second, / wish to weigh the croaking
Christian l don't know why such people
were ever made, unless it was to try the
patience of others. They do nothing but
find fault with the church, the pastor
and everything else. There is the in
different Christian, who does not care
whether he goes to church or not.
Then there is the drunken Christian,
Christian, who are no better than heathens.
The great failing we all have is the
lack of Zeal-a sad lack Of zeal for Christ.
1t is zeal that we all want, and we stand
upon the IseaIes wanting. We can only
remedy tIjis i'll one way; put the sinner on
one side of the scales and Gods command
ments ouDthe other, take Christ on your
side with you, and you will pull up"
The speaker made a deep impression
upon his bearers, as was shown at the
close of his sermon when many, having
been convinced by the glowing persuasive
ness Of his word of the power aud love Of
Christ, openly accepted and professed
the faith.

AMERICAN CHURCH IN PARIS.

sev. DIR. Thurber Talks Interestingly of
Its Past, Present and Future.
The Churchiof the Covenant held a fairly
,arge audience last night to listen to an ad
dress by the, Rev Dr. E. &. TLurber on the
American Church in Paris,'' OF which be
is the pastor. Dr. Thurber has held that
important POST for six years. He began
by discussing the loss to the French nation
ofitsmillioneXiledH Huguenots whose Danish
ment, however, enriched other nations. and
especially the United States. He then con-
sidered the TeactionarX> spirit in France
against the established church and the
prevalence of IationaliSm, which he held
was an impeachment OF church methods.
The Commune was against all religion,
and II was among these people that Dr..
Mccall began his evangelical work. Tie
field was not inviting, but DR.. Mccall Sc
cured a hearing. aud success followed.
The method of this mission was TO prach
what was good in common with other de-
nominations, and TO place the emphasis
on essentials, and in this way the cvanlscl-
ical churches were brought into an al
lance for the mission work.
The services of DR.. Mccall were recog-
nized everywhere, he being made "Chey-
alter d'Honueur' by the French republic.
DR.. Thurber said that DR.. Mccall may be
said 10 have opened the heart of Frauce to
the Christian religion. DR.. Mccall went
To France when ne was fifty-two years OF
age, but he labored vigorously for twenty
three years. There are now 300 chil
drcn in the Sunday schools and day
schools OF the Mccall mission.
Dr. Thurber called the attention of the
audience TO the fact that the receipts at
mission in Paris last year were ST 900 less
Mccall began his evangelical wor. The
of whom he is one, are looking to America
for assistance The work of the mission
in Paris, 50 burb and county, was done very
economically. There were many work
ers connected with it who gave their labor
and OF their means free to the cause which
circumstance lesSened the expenses.
Dr. Thurber, i'll conclusion, assured the
audience that there is a great future ahead
of the mission. Its work, he said, means
the redemption of France. He predicted
that the Huguenot Church would rise
from it's ashes and flourish in France.
Dr. Thurber will address the ladies' of
the Mccall Mission to-day at the New York
PRESBYTERIAN Church.

QUESTIONS OF THE TIMES.
First of n Series of Sermons Deliyeret
by Rev. j. j. Muir.

First of Series of Sermons Delivered
by Rev. j. j. Muir.
The first of a course of sermons on the
serious questions OF the times was delivered
last night by Rev. DR.. j. j. Muir, pastor
at the z Street Baptist Church, before
large congregation
The Rev. DR.. Muir took for his text
part of the twenty sixth verse, ninth
chapter of Acts: when Saul was to come
to Jerusalem he essayed TO join himself
to the disciples, but they were all afraid
of him and believed not that he was q
disciple" This text was made appica-
BILE to the subject of discourse, why
join the church.
In developing the subject the speaker
related the story of Saul's journeying to
Jerusalem where, on his arrival, he would
not, as a stranger, be believed until he
had been vouched for by Barnabas as hav-
ing spoken at Damascus in the name of esus.
This should remind us OF the fact that il

The development to his congregation of
what he has concluded to be the chief end
of man constituted the sermon Of the Rev.
Alex. Kent at the Peoples Church yester-

reached by saying man lis pre-eminently

which contemplate the welfare of others are
the very highest faculties he possesses, so
that he can only secure his own welfare in
the highest degree as he comes under the

which they are seeking.

A DRAW.
KILRAIN-O'DONNELL FIGHT SO
DECLARED.
The Baltimore Man Seems to Have
Had the Best of it-Sulliyan
Excited.

Boston, March 19.-In the presence
of 1000 people ut Suffolk Athletic club
Jake Kilrain, of Baltimore, and Steve
O'Donnell of Australia, Corbett's
sparring partner, fought eight rounds
and at the close Referee Patsy Shep-
ard, amid shouts of Silrain, declared
the contest draw. While the referee
was making up his mind. John l..
Sullivan, who sat just outside the
ropes close by Kilrain's corner, from
which position he had been coaching
the Baltimorean mounted his chair
and waving his tile and demanded de
csion. When draw was announced
he sprang into the arena and rushed
towards O'Donnell's corner. Two of
the seconds grabbed him by the arms
and turned him aside. Then he
clasped hands with Kilrain in apparent
eongratulation and swinging his arms
showed later how the fight might
have been won, He was ready, he
declared, to challenge the winner If
the referee had only named one. The
ex-champion. was finally led off by his
friends and the scene which had
caused the widest excitement ended.
1t took the referee five min
utes to make up his mind what
decision to make. Kilrain had the
best of the last round, and at times
1t looked as If he was going to knock
O'Donnell out. He had not the force,
however, but his old-time pluck as.
serted itself and with wild PUSHES he
dazed the Australian boy, who had
been smiling confidently for seven
rounds and had landed at will upon
the face Of the Baltimoreap. 0'Don-
nell was cleverer in leads. In the first
round he floored Kilrain and i'll the
second also had him to the floor, yet
his blows appeared TO lack force,
while Kilrain did very effective work
with his. O'Donnell gained nothing in
reputation by his work while the stock
of Kilrain Is rated high in Boston.
When the men entered the ring, the
weighty condition of Kilrain caused
great comment. He was fat and
clumsy and weighed go pounds in the
afternoon. 1t was apparent that he
had little training while O'Donnell
was In excellent trim and tipped the
beam at 173 pounds.
