ID. Horton, who preached brief but
powerful discourse from the 11th verse OF
chapter of Isaiah.

am full of the burnt offerings OF rams,
and the fat Of fed beasts, and i delight
not In the blood OF bullocks, or OF lambs
or of the goats" The reverend speaker
said that when he read this, and the sue
ceeding verses, he was struck with the
fact that God should so speak TO His chos-
Ell peoples, for those to whom He spoke
were the followers of Him I'm that day, as
we are now. Their meetings represented
our prayer meetings, they believed that
God was with them, their God, whatever
these harsh words to them, tells them that
the sacrifices which he had ordered them
20 make were no longer acceptable TO
Him; that their hands were pot clean. 7"
Was II that they lacked heart in these sac
rifices? That there was not back OF them
the man that God requires 10 be back OF
every action that he. calls on man TO doT
"Is 1t possible for God to be too full OF
prayers offered TO Him? No. not when
those prayers are real prayers Yet are
there not some who come easily into the
church and yet their lives are NOT In
for a blessing and receive but curseY TO
whom God says Is II not enough that ye
remain outside leading lives 4 cannot APP
prove IL, but ye must come as hypocrites
into My templos"
Dr. Horton urged his hearers in earnest
tones to have their hearts In that eondi, nis
tion, that when they come TO pray God
would not say, az will turn away my
face from your requests. / will pnt my
fingers in my ears, that l may not hear
you. "God knows" said the speaker,
"the inside as well as the outside OF man,
and he judges him by the former. :
truths, and II we can realize them there
will be less for the preacher to compro-
mise with. There Will then be less rob
bing of the widow and other questionable
things done by men who pretend to be
religious"

Frank p. Day, who has been for q long
time driver for d. W. Hyde, has been APP

II in the city of Providence there In a
better pleased class Of people than there
is in the vicinity OF the busiest portion OF
Charles street, they must be believers in
the early approach OF the millennium. As
for Alderman Mccarthy he has not got
over the spell OF happiness he enjoyed yes
terday afternoon, when the Board of Al
dermen, by q decided vote, sat down on
the 60-foot street proposition, and voted
in favor of an S0-foot highway. But bet
ter than any satisfaction individuals may
feel over the outcome OF the controversy
that 10 now on, Is the fact that the upper
branch of the City Council looks ar the
matter In a broad light, that II recog-
nizes the Importance OF this great pub
lie improvement, and also the fact that
an injury TO the commercial development
Of part of the city u. an injury TO the
development OF IL as whole. That the
Common Council may view the matter in
the same light is the earnest wish OF Gil
classes OF this section.

Amidst a decidedly cosmopolitan sec
tion Of the city one notices from time tc
time strange faces. In somo parts of the
North End where Russians, Hebrews, Ar
menians and Celts meet, 1t Is customary
to have them nickname each other. The
bright boy OF the street is OF course every
where the quickest TO find a name foi
friend.or imagined opponent. Some o.
the boys have christened the shoemak err
such Celtic titles as Mike and Barney
Those who receive these names do not re-
sent them, but in turn call the represent
atives OF other nationalities by them. The
Armenian very often good naturedly re-
plies to the shouts Of the street arab In
pleasant terms, and when he wants tc
show his dislike for one OF a different ma
tionality than his own, he calls him {
Chinsman. John says nothing, however
when he sees his great Eastern land
abused, but, Ii Is said, is satisfied to TAX,

other fellows send him.
