to our text, and, at once, you will notice the immense number in the Heavenly choir; there are to be 10000 times 10000 and thousands of thousands in that throng. o what peal of music that will be. o what grand burst of
 choired harmony from the seraphic throng! AZ the masterpieces of Handel
 and Haydn and Beethoven and Schu-
 mann and Bach will be as little rills that
 trickle through the grass from great
 swelling stream compared to that ora
 torio. You love congregational singing {,
 you love to hear great company join heartily In singing one of the grand old songs of Zion; you remember how we, a mere handful, st our Decoration Day service sang the chorus to Mrs Julia Ward Howe's Battle-Hymn of the Re public; perhaps you have been present at one of the mammoth Christian E l. deavor conventions and have heard those young people sing till the music rolled like great sea of melody over the en- tire city.

BLESSED ARE THOSE

to whom this wonderful gift of song has been sent, and who, under the supreme inspiration of divine love, have learned to use it for the glory of God.
 There are two scenes in my life which stand out like headlands rising from the plain pathway, and which, because of their charm, can never forget. One oi these scenes was at an anniversary of the Brooklyn Sunday school union, when 5000 little girls, dressed in white, ar ranged tier above tier and rank above rank, sang the beautiful hymn
 'Far out on the desolate pillow
 The sailor sails the sea,
 Alone in the night and the tempest,
 Where countless dangers be.
 Yet never alone is the Christian
 Who lives by faith and prayer;
 For God is a friend untailing,
 And God is everywhere"
 I can liken that scene to nothing else than the piled-up galleries of the white robed throng in Heaven, which day and night sing in one unbroken measure glory and honor and power and riches Q
 and wisdom and blessing to the great Redeemer and King. Many a time in my hours of loneliness and weariness have those beautiful words, in their more beautiful setting, come to my mind, and have been cheered in my loneliness and strengthened by the thought of the Unseen Hand that guides. The other scene remember was great revival meeting at the Brooklyn Rink in the winter of '76 when MT Sankey sang his familiar hymn, 'sThe Ninety and Nine.n The vast auditorium was packed to the doors; had found seat on the steps in the rear gallery. The au- dience kept so still that you could al- most have heard pin drop; we seemed to be there and yet not to be there-we were going with the shepherd over the mountains, we were hearing the bleat of the lost sheep, we were picking the tim id thing up in our arms and bearing it home, we were rejoicing in that we had found the one that was lost.

The Two Young Men Met In Boston Hotel
LounRers In the Lobby--No Blood VIII
he Shed.
HAvERHIL14 Mass. March 14.-Walter
Scott Hale Of Haverhill has confirmed the
report current here that Thomas Gilroy
Jr., OF New York, son of ex-Mayor Gilroy
and Halo's brother-in-law had. as the re-
suit Of q violent quarrel in the cafe Of the
Parker House, challenged Hale TO fight
duel, and the challenge was accepted
The quarrel occurred through personal
charges and countcrcharges which resulted
from young Hale's endeavor to have his
mother removed as his guardian.
Hale states that he, accompanied by a
friend. Sidney W. Young of Havorhill,
went TO New York early in the week to
notify Hale's mother Of the action to ro-
move her as guardian. She was found at
the home of ex-Mayor Gilroy. and her
counsel Mr.. Badger was present at the
interview between her and her son. dur
ing which tho lawyer told Hale that he
had better look out for young Gilroy, as
the latter had threatened TO break every
bono in his body
Hale and Young reached Boston on their
return from New York, and repairing at
once to the cafe Of the Parker House call
cd for Gilroy, who, with his wife, was a
guest at the hotel When Gilroy appeared,
Hale accused him Of living on money from
Hale's income. -
Gilroy replied that he could not have
anything to do at that time with Hale, as
Hale was his physical superior but tina
he would meet him with pistols at any
New York hotel Hale accepted the chal-
lenge, but declared that he would fight
nowhere but in the vicinity Of Boston.
Gilroy refused 20 meet Hale except in
New York, and an exchange of epithets
occurred. during which a crowd gathered
and GilrOy escaped to his room. Hale
states that lie is prepared to fight at any
time but not within 100 miles of New
York

the ice below the town has weakened Sc
by the warm weather and fogs which
