Muscles and nerves lost their stupor.
Strength once more poured through the

meant. the man rose, little by little, his
eyes fixed on his deliverer; till, at last,
he stood erect before him, to fall on his
knees again in grateful alteration.
But he could not be allowed to stay.
Jesus, by look, motioned him TO retire;
and lifting the mat he did so, his eyes
still fixed on his helper, as he made his

The Best Testimony to the Gospel Is
What it is Doing. The best argument for
Chris ianity is to be found In its miracles of
grace. What can the worst enemies of Christ

THE POWER OF JESUS.

Lesson w.: Luke v. 1875.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-01-25
INTRODUCTION.

Jesus, according to the unimpeacha-
BILE record, exercised extraordinary power
alike over the souls and bodies of men.
In his ministry was demonstrated, in
unparalleled degree, the superiority OF
invisible forces over the things which
are seen.-In the ordinary sense OF
the words the power of Jesus was super
natural. 1t did not originate in this
material earth. But in the larger sense,
in the view which includes spirit as well
as matter, the power Of Jesus over the
bodies of men was as natural as the force
we use when we, seemingly against the
law of g.avitatiop, raise our hand or
when we cast stone into the air. What
ever exhibits the superiority OF mind
ever body, 81 irit over matter, God over
the world is miraculous, in the same
sense that the wonder-works Of Jesus
are miraculous. Surrounded as we are
by miracles, the miracles OF the New
Testament need not, unless we make
them 80, be insuperable stumbling
blocks to faith. Truly did f. W. Rob
ertson say: Miracles we're no concession
to that spirit which haunts our modern
Christianity, and which cannot believe
in Gods presence except it see him in
the supernatural. Rather they are to
make US feel that all is marvellous, all
wonderful, all pervaded with Divine
Presence, and that the simplest occur
rences of life are miracles. The
specimen of the power of jesus set
for today's lesson is for two reasons
striking: ~ 1t exhibits the characters
tic mercy of Christ in pronouncing GER
tain human sins divinely forgiven. (2)
1t is turning point in Christs ministry,
when he parts company with the disap-
pointed scribes and begins to walk the
lonely path of sacrifice.

SOUTH AND THE SILVER HEBESY.
An Epidemic That Bids FaIr to
Effect Great Injury.

Our Southern States are, for the most
part, far less deEsely populated than their
sister States of equal age, and the acre.
age of their uncuitiyated land is enor-
mously greater. The unused water power
CT their numerous flyers and their mex
haustible iron ores and coal fields would
seem to invite an unlimited expansion or
diversified industries as well as a large in
crease of population. Their material
prosperity and advance in the value of
their estates in land must be. for genera
tons to come wholly based upol inspir-
ms confidence in the owners of capital
and in many people to move there with the
view of finding a safe and conservative
home for both labor and property. In
stead of this the silver hepesy, threatening
the stability of all values RACES like an
epidemic in the South. where it may be
supposed that some advantage will be
derived by cheap money in payment of
cheap labor, and, where, l fear. they are
about to show their Willingness to bid
adieu to any large additional Anglo-Saxon
growth. Now the highest ambition of all
e~nterprising people of cur new States must
be to attract large accessi0ns of an in
dustrioas and intelligent class of citizens
to their respective States. But VIII this
be accomplished where one industry alone
is made dominant, and where all other
occupations, if not deemed instructive, are
held as subordinate, Or where there is the
same dictator in politics. as in business?
Cur Southern States also want to attract
capital to make great and permanent IN
~vestments within their magnificent bound
aries: but, as an attractive sign to tempt
either domestic or foreign capital and la
Dor to go west of the Mississippi to build
up safe and happy homes, will 1t. be wise

weather and Disease.

Mr.. Macdonald. in his book or
weather and Disease shows that since
1888 death from measles has been most
common in the periods. from November
to January and from May to June each
year. Diphtheria is most prevalent in
the last quarter of the year, and least
common in the summer MONTHS. In Lon
don, whooping cough increases from a
minimum in September to a maximum
in April, and then fails off. Scarlatina
and typhoid, on the other hand, are at
a maximum in autumn and a minimum
in spring. Measles is noticed to be in
creased by a fall of temperature, to-
gether with a low degree of humidity and
a dry season. Ballard says it was ar
rested by a rise Of temperature over so
degrees. Scarlet fever is essentially an
autumnal disease, and is mainly affected
by fluctuations of the barometer, low
pressure being favorable to the disease,
and it is noted that a mean weekly tenn
perature below 50 degrees checks it.

STRIKERS CONFIDENT.
Adams Express Employees Ap-
peal to the Public to Aid
Them in Their Fight.

The striking employees of the Adams
Express Company are still confident of
winning. They admit that the company
has plenty of men, but insist that they
are inexperienced and would not be able
to handle the freight if the shipments
were anything they were before the
strike.
Yesterday afternoon the strikers is
that they were in any way interfering
with the business of the Adams Company.
Among other things the statement said:
I'VE are not afiliating and will not
affiliate ourselves with any organization
calculated to interfere with the business
of the company whose stocks have fallen
10 per cent. within the last ten days. The
public is misled by the company inasmuch
as it is made to believe that the work
of the company is now as thriving as it
had been before the strike"
A second circular sent out to shippers
and to the general public sets forth that
the strike was not because of dissatisfac-
ton with wages paid, long hours or
| harsh treatment, but because of the man
agement denying the employees the right
to belong to an organized labor society.
On this subject the circular says
We claim, as American citizens, the
right to belong to any organization that
we see fit to belong to, as long as 1t does
not conflict with the business OF the
Adams Express Company, and Ii after
many years of service we are unfortunate
enough to be discharged, we would like
to know the reason why.
In conclusion the circular appeals 10
the public to assist the employees by trans
ferring their patronage to other com
panies. Many of the circulars were re-
called today owing to some errors in their
construction. Amended circulars are to
be sent ont on Monday. The pickets OF
the strikers report that the company
is doing practically no business. Cars are
sent out empty all day and trains which
carried a half dozen or more express
ears are now taking out only one. The
greatest falling off of the company's BUSH
ness is in New York. where the shipping
clerks of the large firms are patronizing
other companies. That this is true is
shown by the fact that the company yes
terday n today sent out agents to
notify New York shippers that the com
pany was in a position to handle freight
with the old time promptness. Shipping
clerks in all parts of New York are aiding
the strikers all they possibly can. 1t is
probable that the employees of the COM
pany in other cities will be called out on
Monday.

FELL INTO TIE RIVER.
Unpleasant Ending to a Hoboken
Picnic Party

The F. ]. Griffith Association of Hobo
ken had a moonlight excursion last night
to River View Grove. The excursion re-
turned about two o'clock this morning.
The barge on which most of the exeur-
sionists were landed at Pier No. 1 of the
D., L. & w. R. R.
When the plank was let down and the
crowd began to come off there was some
pushing and confusion. Suddenly there
was a scream followed by a splash. A
woman had fallen into the water be-
tween the pier and the barge. IT proved
to be Mary Hoban of No. 12S Adams
street. She struggled in the water and
screamed frantically. Lights and ropes
were brought and she was drawn up
from her dangerous predicament with
much difficulty.
Several members of the association aid
ed IN the rescue The wonan was cold
and exhausted by her sudden bath. She
was taken by friends to the rooms of
the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A. and there cared

drowning.
