A New Sam tones.

eff there is any gent in the con-
gregation who desires to say anything
for the devil, let him rise and speak"
Thus spake Evangelist f. E. Nick
erson in the Baptist church in Patch
ogue, L. l., on Saturday night. His
speech caused futter In the crowd,
but no one ventured to say good
word for Old Nick. Mr.. Nickerson,
who advertises that he halls from
fremont Temple, Boston, has been
leading revival meetings in Patcho-
que for about a month. Getting no
reply to his unique request, Mr..
Nickerson explained that the only
good that could be said Of the devil
was that he was in business for him
self, and that he attended to 1t strict
ly. "Some persons were nistukehed
id supposing that the devil told the
first lie," be said. sit was woman"
This offended James Mosher, who
fairly pulled his son-in-law, Walter
Smalling, and his wife out of the
church. 81 can hear better ei1De
elsewhere" was Moshei parting
shot.
"The devil IS subtle cuss," said
Mr.. Nickerson. SHE'S fascinator,
a regular lah de dab; gay deceiy-
err" Then, turning to a bevy of
young women in the front pews, lie
asked: "Girls have you ever been
deceived?" Blushing scarlet the
girls hurried out OF doors. A dozen
more women followed them out. Then
quoting Sam Jones, he shouted :
.sThat's it Throw stone among q
lot of dogs and you soon know which
you hit. They run away. Better
stay, brethren, or else we may think
we are hitting you" After that nc
one left until the services were over.

An Advanced View.

Rev. B. B. Taylor Preached last
Sunday in Chickering Hall, N. Y,
upon the church aud current reforms.
The doctor scored Tammany and con-
cluded with the following advanced
view:
1t was maintained that the Christi
anity of Christ is, and must be, in
terested in the physical wellbeing of
men and women, boys and girls. A
Christianity that is so intense on saw
Ing the soul from burning, bottom
less hell as to forget or be Indifferent
to the physical discomforts and suf-
ferings of men is whatever else
it may be-is not the Christianity of
Christ. The only man who is spoken
of in the New Testament as having
gone to hell and lifted up his eyes in
torment was rich man who refused
to give food to a poor man at his
gates.
The doctor claimed that the church,
following the example and teaching
Of its Divine Founder, must lead in
all the reforms named. Christianity
is pre- eminently for this world, and
for the life that now is.
