The convention was full of political sen
sations. The greatest excitement came
just before the adjournment of the CON
vention. The passionate speeches had al
been made. and the Democrats, who filled
every chair and the aisles Of the conven-
ton hall, were ripe to indorse the action
of the resolutions committee. Ex-Con-

man of the committee On resolutions.

as follows:

Crawford for Temporary Chairman.
At the close of the address Chairman
Hinrichsen introduced as temporary
chairman Monroe g. Crawford, of Union
County, who had been recommended by
the State committee. Judge Crawford
made no remarks except to impress upon
the delegates that their action was being
watched by every person in the State. He
told the delegates that if they wanted free
silver to say so, and then announced that
he was ready for business.

Golden Text.-"Lord, thou knowest all
things; thou knowest that love thee
John 21: II.
We have for the subject of this lesson
Peter and the Risen Lord-John 21: All.
How beautiful the scene A little lake
sleeping amid the hills. The first light of
day breaking upon it. Yonder some fisher
men in boat. They are pulling empty
handed but heavy-hearted to the shore.
Nearer by n figure standing close to the
waters edge, whittier the boat is making
its way. This one seems to have come as
silently and mysteriously as the dawn.
Suddenly the fishermen catch sight OF
him. His hand is up, as if in arrest. He
acts aud speaks with knowledge and au-
thority, and in answer to his direction the
boatmen, as if obeying a master, have
cast the net again, and on the right side.
And now the quiet of the scene is broken
by the commoton in the water, leapng
fish, straining net Anon, some one from
the boat has leaped into the water and is
struggling toward the shore, and just one
voice is lifted, swift, glad cry from one
with shaded eyes. 1t is the Lord!
1t was morning, and Jesus stood on the
shore" Morning and Jesus! Put them
together. They looked up from their
fruitess tasks, and there stood Jesus
watching them. Brother, sister, his eye
is upon us as we toll. Let it dignity and
happify our labors. "The disciples knew
not that it was Jesus" That at the first.
Not that their eyes were holden, save by
hopelessness. They simply were not look
ing for him. We generally see what we
are on the watch for. John saw. but
who had eyes like John the revelator: II,
John, saw"
"Children, have ye any meat" A dead
man does not ask for meat When they
went to seek him in the garden they were
carrying spices for the dead. And nearly
the first thing he says to them is, Have
We any meat?" That sounds like life.
And now the way to worship him is not
with mortuary spices. Rome does that.
Let us go carrying bread and meat and
doing good in his name. He counts ii as
done for him. Cast the net on the right
side" Christ knew where the fishes lay.
He knew also where the gold and silver
of earth were to be found. What if he
had given himself pre-eminently to such
happy findings? He would not have been
Christ. Only once or twice did he reveal
the secrets of earth. Once or twice that
we might know his power and feel conf
dence in prayer. Only once or twice
that we might place the first things first
And yet he cared for these lower wants
for when they came to shore there were
fish upon the Goals, and the bread for their
hunger There is nothing more clearly

ter-dcath pilgrimage on earth than his

Silver In the Saddle.


Springfield correspondence:
Illinois Democrats in convention declar-
ed unqualifedly in favor of the free coin
age of silver at ratio of 16 to 1 with
gold. This declaration was adopted with
out one dissenting voice from the $50 del
egates who composed the convention. The
delegates also went on record as being in
favor of the holding of a national Demo-
cratic convention, to take action on the
money question. John =. Hopkins, of
Chicago; w. III. Hinrichsen, of Jackson

Hints and Illustrations.

Love is the lesson, love and life. Christ's
life for us. and Chrst's love in us. 1T is
the Lordv' cried John, and then all work
begins anew. Christ was still living. and
living with new grace and power. "Lov-
est thou me?" asked Jesus. and there he
gave the secret of all well doing. Unless
we love Jesus "more than these" we are
not prepared to sacrifice or serve for him.
But if we have his consuming love for
souls in us, born of love for him, we shall
he able to do any work and suffer any
loss in his name. Here is the secret of
high Christian achievement.
Love for Christ and love for souls are
close akin. They are different manifesto
tions of the same spirit. Loving Christ.
we love with his love. and all mankind
ha-e a part in it. yet more, o my
Christ. yet more!' cried Francis Navier,
as he looked up to Christ and forth TO his
worldwide work. What this ''love for
souls" is Rev. William Scribner tells us
in his well-known book on the subject:
Love for those who have no spiritual
want supplied. and who are in danger of
dying in their sins is entirely different
from the benevolence which is so often
manifested by mere philanthropist. We
pity the sick and wounded and try to min
lister to their wants and to tighten their
sufferings. but this pity is of different
kind from that felt by Gods people for
perishing souls. If love for souls
is genuine. it will be called forth by the
thought of their exposure to punishment
after DEATH" We may well pray that this
passion may get new hold on the heart of
the church.
Keep close to Christ. Expect his smile:
be satisfied with that and know that moth
ing else than that will suffice for the
preaching and living of the truth, as it is
in Jesus. That instant cry, 1T is the
Lord" has strong incidental bearing on
the question whether we shall know each
other after death. Certainly, though for
n while their eyes were holden. the disci-
pies .discerned their Lord. The disciples
recognized him then in his glorified body.
The only thing that prevented their know
ing him always was the unbelief which
sometimes clouded their eyes. All the
change that took place in him from
The lowly man that once did stray
A pilgrim in the worlds highway.
Oppressed by power and mOcked by pride,
The Nazarene, the crucifed;
up to the glory of the skies, will not pre-
vent our knowing Jesus. The change
which death will bring to us will be sim
liar to that it wrought in Christ. 1t did
not destroy his identity. 1t will not de-
stroy ours for we shall be like him."

TO TAKE A HAND.
Nearly All Traffic Between
Southern Ports.

CITY OF MEXICO, MEXICO, Aug. 49,
The Government of Mexico has made no
official investigation of the Colima dis
aster, but reports from the collectors of
customs to the Minister of Finance all say
that the disaster was caused by the ship
being topheavy, while reports from port
officials say the ship was overloaded and
that the captain and officers were derelict
in attending to their duties.
President Diaz has ordered that here
after no ship be granted clearance papers
unless the authorities are satisfied that
everything is all right.
The authorities claim that they had
no right to interfere with the case, be-
cause the Colima was an American ship
from an American port to a foreign port,
only touching at Mexican ports in transit.
The Guatemalan Government proposes
to make the Pacific Mail Company here
after responsible.
Doubtless if suits are brought in any
Mexican or Central American ports against
the Pacific Mail Company, the company
will surely lose, as there is a bitter feeling
against the company. The company has
already lost all traffic between Mexican
ports, and other ships are now getting it.
