Observation-Disclosures Young and
Beach yesterday arrested Leary Bright
on the charge of breaking into and rob-
bing car on the Washington Southern
Railway. Recently, it will be remem-
bered, Conductor M. r. Ulle discover
ed two youths in the act of robbing u
car about four O'Clock in the morning.
He caught one of them, who turned out
to be William Bright, but his brother,
Leary, who was in the car at the time,
jumped out and made his escape. The
police have been on the lookout for
him ever since, and yesterday the two
officers surrounded the house where he
lives for the purpose of capturing him.
The fugitive, upon learning of their
presence, jumped from second-story
window into the arms of one of the
officers and struggle ensued, during
which Leary fought for all he was
worth: while his mother pulled with all
her strength to get him away from! his
captor. The latter finally tapped the
obdurate youth on the head with his
stick which caused him to submit to
arrest. The Mayor this morning sent
both boys on to the grand jury. An
other brother was sent to Jail in Fair
fax county yesterday for housebreak-
ing. The trio have given considerable
trouble in this city for the last two or
three years. They appear to be incor-
rigible and have several times been ar
rested on serious charges, but their jul
venile years has heretofore gained them
mercy.

GRACE CHURCH.-The service under
the auspices OF the Brotherhood of St.
andrew at this church last night was
we'll attended and an excellent sermon
was delivered by the Rev. w. G. Dav-
enport. rector OF Emmanuel Church,
A1acostia, D. c., from the text, From
strength to strength" Psalm 81: Z. He
drew The picture presented by this
tsalm OF the devout Jew in the remote
rar.s of Palestine or in far off Bah
Won as the time of the great feast APP
proacled, who would be filled with an
cger-ucreasing desire to go up to the
feast. My soul hath a desire and
longing to enter into the courts of the
Lord would be the burden of his
thought. And then he with few
neighbors would start from their re-
mote abode. mere handful, but as
they proceed others and others again
join them until their little company has
become multitude. Each days jour
ney ended at some we'll or stream where
palm trees grew. 1.-The pools are filed
with water is his song. AS he en-
counters the difficulties of the way he
signs. Blessed are they that dwell in
Thy house" Yet as these difficulties
are overcome. in his joy he cries,
Blessed is the man whose strength is in
Thee" But at last he sung as bis
song, Unto the God of Gods appeareth
every one of them in Sion" ''One day
in Thy courts is better than thouS-
and" These three stages are the pro-
gress of the Christians lire aud growth
in grace. First is holy desire and
longing after God and the things of
God. With this is repentance of evil
aul the resolution of holy obedience.
second is holy JOY; when worn and
weary with the burdens OF life, the tolls
of the way and the battle against sin,
then come to the Christian the times of
reireshment and the blessing Of peace
the heritage the dying Saviour be-
Gueathed His church, and which He,
being risen, came Himself to bestow.
Third is holy pIai,e, when the servant
of God finds in Christian activity the
Tuition of holy desire and the higher
expression of holy joy. Thus are we
taught that growth in grace is attained
bv learning to rely wholly and ever
upon Gods guiding and care. The ser
mon was listened to throughout with
the closest of attention. The preacher
next Wednesday night will be the ven.
cradle Gilbert f. Williams, rector of
Christ Church and Archdeacon of
Washington, D. c., who will address
the local chapters of the Brotherhood
of St. Andrew upon the topic. The
Bible-God's Revelation to Man."

LECTURES, which have been highly ap-
preciated by the faculty aud the stu
dents. Mr.. Gauss read letter recently
written to him by the Rev. DR.. Morgan
Dix in regard to the situation in the
church in which he says:
The recent startling appearance of pan
theistic teachers III our church i'll the person
of liberal theologians, so called, the open de-
NAL of several of the facts stated in the creed,
the contemptuous reputation of the au.
thority of our church, the substitution OF
ideas derived from the philosophy OF evolu-
lion for the doctrine Of the Gospel as TINS
church has received the same, and tie avow-
cd determination to throw the ordination vow
10 the Winds and freely to proclaim whatever
views the individual minister may evolve
from year to year and from day to day. out
OF his own consciousness these signs Oh the
hour increase my respect for the men OF the
old school, who hold, simply and sincerely
the inspiration of the sacred Scriptures, tue
destructive properties of sin. the need oi
atonement for sin through the precious blood
of Jesus Christ, and the power of Divine
Grace as the sole agency which can put heal,a
and strength into the unfeebled and corrupt
ed nature of men. Thus am l. like many
others of nv own school, i'll stronger sympa'

that we are aiming substantially at one ana

pairing to rise up in general revolt against the
