UNIFORMITY DESIRABLE.

A movement has just been started in Min
nesota in which every State and, OF course,
the District Of Columbia, ought TO take a
lively interest. It is nothing less than TO Sc
cure uniformity in laws regulating weights
and measures, rates OF interest, bills of ex-
change, and sundry other matters of import
ance in commercial transactions.
There is no good reason why bushel of
potatoes should be one thing in Iowa, some
thing else in New York, and stiIl different in
the District OF Columbia. Neither is there
any sense in allowing the legal rate of inter
est to be six per cent. in one State, ten per

CHRIST Is THE Sun.
In His Light the Soul Will Glow and Be
Led Safely.


The discourse Of the Rev. ]. Russell
Verbryche, at Gurley Memorial Presbyterian
Church yesterday morning, was one Of
beautiful analogies, and comparisons made
applicable to everyday Christian life
The subject, True lights and ecIipsed
Iuminaries.'' was suggested by the total
eclipse of the moon LAST night, and was
interesting and instructive from an astro-
nomicaI as well as religious standpoint.
The texts taken were: Job xxv:5, Behold
even to the moon shineth not, and John
vin.12, Il am the light OF the world
After describing the sun and the moon
and their relation 10 the earth, Rev. Mr.
Verbryche spoke at length on the glory
and beauty Of the sun as the source Of light
and heat, body of most wonderful
phenomena Here he compared the light
and warmth of the sun with that which
Christ sheds over all the universe; not a
light which blaZes up for a short while
and then is quenched, but one that VIII
shine out forever and If followed viii
lead to life everlasting. Once all was
darkness and chaotic, but now, through
the knowledge of Christ, we see the light,
that light which brightens, gloTifies, and
purifies. 1t drives out the darkness OF
death and makes all warm and beautiful.
Are we shining with the light OF Christ?
The church to-day is filled with too
many ecIipsed lights, whose lives, Ike
the moon tonight, is darkened By allowing
the earthly worldIiness TO go between them
and Christ What good is the moon to-
night without the light of the sun shed upon
it? What good is man without the light
of Christ?

MARRIAGE A SACRAMENT.
Rev. DR.. Garrigan Says II SymboIizes the
Union of Christ and the Church.


Rev. DR. Garrigan, vice rector of the
Catholic University, preached on marriage
as a sacrament" at St Augustine's
Colered Catholic Church, Fifteenth street,
between L and NJ streets, northwest,
yesterday afternoon.
Dr. Garrigan first spoke of the family
as the foundation stone OF human society
He defined marriage as a sacrament, in
stituted by God as a necessary means for
the propagation of the human race, and
therefore one to be preserved sacred. Speak
ing of the creation of Eve as companion
and spouse for Adam, he said that God
made Adam after His own image, but
made Eve after the image of Adam, thus
plainly indicating the natural authority
OF man over woman.
Man is not sufficient in himself and OF
himself, and needs companion, so woman
has been given to him, not as a servant or
slave, but as friend and hetpmate- The
daughters OF men have the same faculties
and the same powers as their sons, and
should be loved and protected as equals.
BY the perversity OF man this sacred
institution fell into the grossest of abuses,
and was loaded with dishonor, and the
preacher held the mission OF the Blessed
Virgin Mary inteTceded to restore to woman
the honor OF her position. Christ's coming
into the world did not do away with the
old form of marriage, but his object was
rather to lift the old order of things from
a natural to a supernatural plane. So now
il is not merely bond law, but is clamped
even stronger before the throne of the Most
High. for ii is, and has been since the
marriage OF Canaan, one OF the seven sac
raments OF the Catholic Church. He did
not destroy il, but restored the sanctity
that had. in the lapse of ages, been cast
from around it.
DR.. Garrigan described the relation OF
the church to Christ as analogous TO the
union of man and woman in marriage.
Just as Eve was created from a rib taken
out OF Adams side. so was the church
formed of the blood and water that flowed
from the Redeemer's heart as He hung in
the agonies of death on Mount Calvary.

FAITH coNoUERs ALL.
Rev. d. w. Skellenger's Address at the
Y. NJ. C. A. Meeting Yesterday

Rev. d. w, SkelIenger's Address at the
Y. NJ. C. A. Meeting Yesterday.
1.-The conquest of faith was the subject
1.-The conquest of faith was the subject
discussed by Rev. d. w. skellenger at the
Young Mems Christian Association meet
ing yesterday afternoon.
Rev. Mr.. skellenger illustrated his dis
course by the scriptural incident of the
fall of Jericho, showing that it is only
by persistent effort and the faithful fol-
lowing of the commands of God that we
conquer in the end.
Faith, implicit faith in the word of God
is our only guide and safeguard. 1t is the
only path to contentment and salvation.
Faith, operated on Gods word, is a tre-
mendous lever; it is power unlimited and
illimitable. Faith is the substance of the
hope of the fulfillment of Gods promise; it
is the acceptance, the acknowledgment of
the truth OF the unknown and unseen.

SOCIAL SAYINGS AND DOINGS

1t is by no means the things making the
greatest amount of show on the menu at
some of the fashionable funcheons and din
ners during the season that command the
largest price when it comes TO summing up
the items of the bill. Quite the contrary is
frequently the case.
AT one OF the largest breakfasts given
during the present season there was one
entree that alone amounted TO almost as
much as the whole of the remainder OF the
feast put together. This was lamb chops
served with green peas. The hostess in
sisted that the French peas usually served
at luncheons would not do for that partic-
ular occasion. that she would have nothing
canned served at the feast. Therefore it
was necessary to scour the country until the
requisite amount OF freshly grown hothouse
green peas could be obtained. As she had
also given the most especial orders III re-
gard to the exact quality and Giminutive
size of the lamb chops they cost her a
pretty penny. 1t therefore seemed fitting
that the two things should be served to-
gether.
