HRS. KENT'S FIRST SERMON
She Occupied the Pulpit of the Peo-
pies Church Yesterday.
Her Theme Was Upon the Need Of
Properly Keeping the Temple
of the Human Soul.

Mrs Alexander Kent, wife Of the pastor
OF the Peoples Church, preached yester-
day. DR.. Kent is absent at the congress
of liberal churches at Chicago. The pulpit
was richly decorated with flowers, the
work OF the ladies' society of the conSre-
cation in recognition OF the innovation
The audience room was well filled Mrs.
Kent has delivered number of lectures
at the WimOdaughsis, but never before
attempted to speak from the pulpit
She said yesterday at the outset that
she never had any desire To he a public
speaker. She was OF family of Friends
in New Hampshire, and spent much OF her
youth in a Friends school. There she
learned to lay more emphasis on principle
than upon sex. II was rot a question OF
man nor woman, but right and wrong
There were as many women preachers as
men among the Friends
She at least hoped TO say something OF
interest to the girls. The pastor fed the
church on strong meat while here; she
would furnish something lighter, and would
not mind il some Of the older members got
sleepy.
Her religious education was apart from
the catechism. She never heard Of such u
thing until she was older. She knew not
what it was to be afraid OF any God
She got her ideas Of him from the birds
and flowers and trees, and thought OF
him as being of love, whose works were
wonderful, past all findin g out Her
father spent much time with his children
in the woods and taught them veneration
of the creator through contemplation OF
his works
They often spent hours at a time watch
I tho birds md became cd u7-srF
every one in their vicinity They had
TO keep very quiet to let the birds come
near, and this was a lesson in meditation
and concentration. Her father called the
owls from their hiding places for thcIn'tO
see. He did this by initiating the owls
cry for help. In such childhood she grew
to love all, and her memories went back
fondly to the old home. i love those New
Hampshire hills" she exclaimed. II
love those grand old trees, but most of all
/ love those good warm hearts which
grew so large in being kind to everybody"
She then told of a visit to Concord n
after years and picnic at Walden Pond,
made historic by Henry Thoreau, the great
interpreter of nature.
The concluding portion of her address
was upon the need of keeping properly
the temple of the human sonl. She pointed
out that widely as the homes OF the rich
may differ the home that God has given
for the indwelling OF His spirit is often
as perfect with the lowly as with the
| pr0udest.
we have much to do with the kind OF
| temple that holds us. Emerson SAYS,
Every spirit bu ildeth its own house
| While no one had anything to do vita
| his lifetime dwelling place before lie
| found himself in it the parents have it in
| their power TO determine in a measure
what it shall be. Not only the enild's
| body, but also his disposition and charac-
ter may be determined by the father and
mother"

TWO FAIR CAMPAIGNERS
Mrs. Curzon and Mrs. LeYland Will
Canvass for Their Husbands.
One Tory. the Other a Liberal.
Bicycle Riding Now a Fad Among
the British Nobility.

A recent cabiegram from London an
nounces that Hon. Mr.. Curzon has already
taken his bride 10 Southport for the pur-
pose OF introducing her 10 the electors Of
that place, in view OF the coming election,
which promises TO be exceptionally ex-
citing and very close one. What adds
greatly TO the interest is the fact that the
two men who viii contest Southport viii
be the present incumbent, Hon. George
CurZon, and Capt. H Naylor Leyland.
1t will be remembered that the latter
married some years since the American
beauty, Miss Jennie Chamberlain. Since
he left the Tory for the Liberal party not
only has Capt. Leyland been ostracised,
but this has been extended to his wife.
What added fuel to the flame in this case
and made the boycott such sweeping one
was that the Tory seat given up by Capt
Leyland was captured by the Liberals.
Mrs. Leyland has always taken an active
personal share in her husbands election,
and now that he is TO contest the seat of
Hon. George Curzon the battle has an
added interest from the fact that Mr..
CurZon's bride will have her energies en-
listed in behalf of her husband and VIII
enter the list of American women who
have taken active parts in the elections
of their English husbands As matters
now are Mr.. Curzon is one OF the
most prominent of the younger faction in
the Tory party, and il there is a Tory
majority at the next election he, If re-
turned to Parliament, VIII undoubtedly
be in the next cabinet
The canvass at Southport win by this
means be enlivened by the presence and
active working of two exceptionally
beautiful American women.
Mrs. CurZon, since her arrival as a
bride IN London, has enjoyed the pleas
ure OF creating genuine social sensation,
as the public curiosity concerning her is
very great.

Stern Duty.


''Guflty OF not?" was the question asked,
And the prisoners wandering eye
Net that OF the judge and swift glance
passed,
Unnoticed ny anyone nigh.
And the thoughts of both to their child
hood flew,
When. as two happy barefoot boys,
They shared in a friendship strong and
true,
Such as only pure youth enjoys.
Now the one whose heart has been stilled
by time
shrinIs back from his hardest task;
And the other, pure and accused of crime,
Graves the mercy be dares not ask.
The heart of the judge, with emotions torn,
Leads his win through tangled maze;
II is hard, so hard, TO pass sentence on
This friend OF his boKhood days,
Who. old and ragged, and weak and worn,
Stands with eyes that so mutely plead;
But duty is duty-to this be is sworn,
And its voice is the one be must heed.
The courthouse lis closed, The day far spent;
Through a shutter q sunbeam peeps
And lights up SIN old gray head grief-bent;
Not a Judge, but a noble heart weeps.

SPRING HINTS.
Some Good and Neces- sary Advice at This
 Season.
There Are Some Things We Mus
 Surely Do.
And This Thing Is by Far the Most I'm
 portant of Them All.

Everybody needs a spring medicine-a remedy which will strengthen and invig- crate the system and tone up the action of all the organs. The change from cold to warm weather causes a depression of the the vital forces, resulting in weakened nerves, impure blood and inactive organs.
 Our esteemed correspondent. Mrs A. S. Gould, writes us from Garland, Me, some facts in regard to this subject which will be of great interest and value just at this season:
 Through the loss of my mother. the sickness of my husband and the extra work which fell upon me. was thrown into a condition of nervous and physical exhaustion. I grew constantly worse. l cannot find words to express that terrible feeling that existed through my whole sys- tem-a feeling of utter weakness and prostration, with strange nervous sensa- tions.
 My right foot was so bad it was with great difficulty could walk. I had to place my foot every way to keep from fall ing. My hands and arms were weak, numb and prickly. I was very tired all the time. There was a heavy dull feeling ill my limbs. Nights they seemed like lead weights. When out riding mile dis. tance. they would feel as though had lost the use or them. I would move my fingers and arms to see if could. I ex. pected any day to be found paralyzed. -
 "Then began to take pr Greene's Ner. vura blood and nerve remedy. The first bottle did not seem to help me much, but the second bottle did, and made me bet ter. kept on using 1t.
