SUNDAY MORNING.
Service in the Methodist Church by
Dr. Clifton.

DR.. Clifton had an attentive audience last
Sunday morning. He preached from the
words: 'On this rock l will bulId my
church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against It," The truth OF the chrlStlan reil-
gion, the divinity OF our Saviour, ana the
existence of a Supreme Being were all proved
by the universal desire OF man Tor saviour
and by the longing Of the human nearc , LOT , d
loving Father in whom we could entrust the
souls deepest desires, and to whom the trou-
bled spirit might pour out the swelling Hoods
that otherwise would overWhelm.
The Almighty did not reveal the contour OF
his persOnaIty TO the natural eye of man, but
all the testimony OF all the senses, and he
longing of every heart, Ike chain OF cir
Gu stantial evidence, all go to point TO one
great fact, the existence of the Almighty.
while the inspired word Is full of testimony
as to the beautiful life and character of our
blessed Lord and Saviour, who came not only
to redeem lost world, but TO show us by his
example how we might make our lives sub
lime, and win the coveted crown in our home
beyond the stars.
Selfdenial, the preacher said, was necessary
to all excellence. Whatever was good In our
natures, or whatever was pure In our hearts,
was due 10 that selfdenial which came from
fighting against the evil nature that is ever
present and is ever striving Tor the mastery
of man. In whatever pursuit we enter we
must practice selfdenial to achieve the best
results. If man seeks riches he must deny
the qualification of his eXtravagant desires.
Ii he seeks preeminence In the learned pur-
suits he must deny himself of the pleasures
of idleness If he seeks health and length Of
days he must restrain himself from SIN
against his body and obey the laws of health.
If he seeks to be a follower OF our Lord and
Saviour he must deny himself the splendor Of
riches and forego the glory OF power. Our
saviour said: IF thou wilt be perfect, go
and sell thot thou hast, and give 10 the poor"
AS the preacher expected to give an account
before the Great Judge for his stewardship on
earth, he would urge his hearers to accept the
religion OF our saviour. Even though we did
not expect an eternal happiness, the precepts
and example of our Saviour, II regarded,
would add to the sum of human happiness.
With all the cumulative testimony pointing
one way none could doubt.

ANOTHER SQUIRT GUN.
Repetition Of the Old Joke In Putting
Out Fires.

That ancient joke of taking few dry goods
boxes out on the square TO make bonfire was
Monday evening. The boxes we're
set on fire, and the fire eXtlnguisher was set
to playing on It. In perhaps less than a min
ute from the time the match was applied the
blaze rose high, and was put out.
The Idea OF entertaining sensible people
with any such exhibitions is perfectly Won
derfu. and the idea OF trying to convince ra-
tlonal beings that actual bona fide fires, which
burn houses and stores could be put out In
any such way after the fire had become hot
and had gained headway seems preposterous.
Such exhibitions are jokes, and we presume
no one believes that Il seething mass OF fire
could be put out easily by any lttle squirt
gun that might be offered.

How a Great Man Proposed.

Abraham LluCOlu'S OleT vi udI-
riage was a very curious one, and sin
gularly enough it has but recently
come to light Numerous as his
biographers have been, and closely
as they have cleaned for new facts and
materials, it was left for the one, Mr..
Jesse Welk, of Greencastle, to discover
this unique and characteristic produc-
ton of Mr.. Lincoln's almost untutOred
mind. The letter is one of several
written, presumably to the lady he
afterwards married. Addressed to-
My Dear Mary" it reads thus: "You
must know that l can't see you or
think of you with entire Indifference );
and yet it may be that you are mis-
taken in regard to what my real
feelings towards you are. If l knew
you were not, should not trouble you
with this letter. Perhaps any other
man would know enough without any
other information ; but 1 consider ii
my peculiar right to plead ignorance,
and your bounden duty to allow the
plea. I want in all cases to do right,
aud most particularly so in all cases
with women. Iwant, at this particu-
lar time, more than anything else, to
do right with you, and if knew
it would be doing right, as l rather
suspect it would, to let you alone, l
would do it. And for making the
the matter as plain as possible, now
say you can drop the subject, dismiss
your thoughts-if you ever had any
from me forever, and leave this letter
unanswered without calling forth one
accusing mulmur from me. And, /
will even 60 further and say, that if it
will add anything to your comfort and
peace of mind to do it, it is my sincere
wish that you should. DO not under
stand by this that 1 wish to cut your
acquaintance. mean no such thing.
What L do wish is that our further
acquaintance shall depend upon your
self. If such further acquaintance
would contribute nothing to your
happiness, l am sure it would not to
mine. If you feel yourself in any
degree bound to me, am now willing
to release you, provided you wish it ;
while on the other hand, am willing
and even anxious to bind you faster il
l can be convinced that it will in any
degree add to your happiness. This in
deed, is the whole question with me.
Nothing would make me more miser-
able than to believe you miserable !;
nothing more happy than to know you
were so. In what have now said !
think cannot be misunderstood and
to make myself understood is the only
object of this letter. If it suits you
best not to answer this, farewell. a
long life and merry one attend
you. But if you conclude to write
back, speak as plainly as | do. There
can be neither harm nor danger in
saying to me anything you think, just
in the manner you think it.
"Your Friend,
"LINCoLN."

CHAIRMAN JONES DECLINES TO
BELIEVE THAT BRYAN IS
DEFEATED.
His Election Hinges Upon the Re
suit of the Vote in Indiana and
Michigan
The Senator Believes That the Ne
braskan Has Carried One of
Them and Probably the
Other One

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Senator Jones
issued the following statement last
night
81 haze counted from the begin
ming as the States upon which we
relied for Mr.. Bryan election the
Southern States votes and the
States west of the Missouri with a
total of 2l7. I have hoped that we
would carry Indiana, Michigan and
Minnesota. l believe that we have
carried every Southern State except
Maryland aad that we have carried
all of the Western States heretofore
counted on, which leaves us, not
counting Delaware, which I think
we have not heretofore calculated
upon, 209 votes. One vote we Ger
taiuly have in Delaware and proba-
bly, three. But counting only one
vote, it leaves necessary to a choice
fourteen votes. Either Michigan or
Indiana would give US those fourteen
votes. The reports received by US
from both these States give eneour-
agement and lead us to believe that,
while both States are close, that we
have the better chance to win and
that we may probably carry both.
There can scarcely be a doubt of
our carrying Indiana. Under these
circumstances it seems to me that
we are entirely justified IN claiming
the election of Mr. Bryan. which
do, and | believe that the temper Of
the people is such that they will not
allow their choice to be defeated by
tricks and fraud. Tie statements
made in the city papers today that
I have given up the contest and adj
