self being ON smaller ocean steamer, he
saw the steamer Campania going by in
q raging storm. The wind was bowling,
and the waves were running high, and
the Campania, her passengers all below
and her decks all battened down, was
paying no attention to the waves, but
was going right along, and every wave
swept her from stem to stern, and she
never even shook them Off or seemed to
care for them. That is the way man
may sail through life, not riding on the
top of the wave, but running through
the wave, being even below the wave
line, knowing nothing Of it, because
deep down in his nature is the hidden
life, which is always at peace, because
it is always at ono with God.
The Secret OF Power.
And this is the secret of the greatest
power. 1t is true that if this hidden
life be divine it will utter itself in di-
vine utterances; it is true that no man
can retire to his cell, his monastery, his
place in the woods and say, Now will
be devout and let the world go to ruin.
That is not being one with Christ, who
came into the world and went to work
for the lost and the suffering. 1t is
true also that by this outer life you may
gradually, little by little, build up an
inner life; that every deed may help to
make habit and every habit q principle
wrought into the fabric of your being.
One sits at loom with the threads be-
fore he weaves them into the pattern.
SO we sit in life and take up our isolat-
ed deeds and our isolated wills and our
isolated purposes but not until they are
woven into the fabric and become part
of our lifo are they really ourselves.
Not what thread we hold in our hand,
but what thread we have woven into
our character, makes the man. But the
secret of power is the hidden life.
Last Sunday morning l urged you to
Christian activity. This Sunday morn.
ing want TO say, in closing, one word
to those who cannot take up Christian

HOLMES MORE CHEERFUL.
Ho Appears in Hettor Spirits Than ANY
TimebYet.

TO-
PHILADELPHIA, Oct 3L-When the
privileged persons had been permitted
TO enter the court room in which the
trial of Holmes is proceeding, there ap-
peared to be almost as many women as
men present. Most of them had seats in
the space usually reserved for witnesses.
Holmes as calm and as unmoved as
ever. was placed in the dock at 10
o'clock. His counsel promptly went 10
him and long and earnest colloquy en-
sued. Holmes did most Of the talking
and was apparently offering suggestions
or perhapi giving orders. He appeared
to be brighter and more cheerful than
at any time since the trial began, and
after his counsel had resumed their seats
he chatted and laughed with two court
officers stationed next to the little cage
in which he sat.
The first witness of the day proved to
be lively one. This was Sydney NJ.
Samuels of the bar of Fort Worth, Tex,
young cleanly shaven man with al
twinkling eye and the utmost self pos
session. He spoke quickly and sharply
and invariably referred to Holmes as
"the individual" This amused even
Holmes, who smiled broadly whenever
the term was used.
District Attorney Graham produced
the note identified by Mrs Pi;zel yester-
day as the one Holmes pretended to pay
at the ST. Louis bank and for which pur-
pose he took $4,000 from her. MIR. Sam
uels said the body of the note was in his
handwriting.
In the latter part of April or early in
| May, 1894, he. said there was in Fort
| Worth man known as H. NJ. Pratt. It
was "this individuaL" he was oversee
ing the erection of a three-story struc-
ture, as agent for Benlon-I. Lyman, the
supposedt owner.
Pratt came to the witness and tried to
negotiate loan Of $4,000 by mortgag-
ing the property and after some transac-
tions the note was drawn and signed by
| Benton T. Lyman. 1t was dated HAY II,
1894. Subsequently Pratt claimed to
have lost it aud told witness that he had
drawn up a second note similar to this.
The note was originally drawn to the or
der of 2. S. Ssmuels, brother of the wit
ness. The note was never endorsed nor
the loan made, however.
The witness identified both the origi-
nal note and the substitute.
Mr.. Graham sought to prove that the
note was never legal document.
Inspector Gerry of the insurance COM
panv was recalled, Mr.. Graham saving
he proposed to prove by him that Holmes
was a much married man, and that Miss
Yoke was not his lawful wife. as he as
serted, and is therefore incompetent to
testify
